? Company, which helps promote
historical anniversary celebra-
I tions, will be present to discuss

| ing with local people, the Rogers
$ representative pointed out that
j a pageant based on local history
f would well be a part of the cele
’ bration.

only a short time earlier, discus
sions are underway for holding
a county-wide celebration.

by an act of the legislature on
Dec. 28, 1838, which means itTMll

ated by an act of December, 1839
and the first "commissioners”
i councilmen» took office in 1840.

charge of the preliminary meet
ing scheduled for Monday after

cials and leaders of the Summer

Schools Cross
Another Hurdle
Another hurdle has been crossed in efforts to get
construction of a new Chattooga High School plant and a
gymnasium at A. C. Carter School underway.
The state has approved the revised preliminary plans
for the buildings, County School Supt. James Spence was
told by Architect M. G. Turner
this week.
In the wake of this, the archi
tect is proceeding with the final
drawings, it was stated.
After the Carter final drawing
is finished and approved, nego
tiations will be resumed with
Bishop and Busbin, contractors,
on this phase of the school pro
gram. If an agreement is
reached, construction could start
shortly thereafter.
In the meantime, the Chat
tooga Board of Education has
laid plans to re-bid on the CHS
project. All earlier bids were
well above the money available
and, because extensive revision
of plans was necessary, negotia
tions on this will not be pos
sible.

Compensation

are permanent injuries received
when he statred a fire while
working as a grader for the
