and Cubs were all set for a dra-
matte showdown in the seventh
and concluding game of the 194o
World Series here today with a
bowling, bubbling crowd of 42,OOO
on hand
1t was a crisp autumn day with
no hint of rain. There was still a
chill in the air, but nothing like
the disagreeable weather on Mon
day. However, heavy overcoats
and blankets were still TO be seen
all about.
This is one of the few World
Series in all history where d
white shirt has not been seen
once.

Grafton OF A Large Num-
Der OF Citizens

Yesterday, as all that V as left
of the Nathan's Creek high
school building was smouldering
ashes and burned brick, the his
tory of this community project
was recalled by those who watch
ed helplessly.
1t was in 1880, that a number
of interested and progressiveSiti-
zens of the community conceived
the idea of building a consoli-
dated school to replace several
one, two and three teacher
schools. Meetings were held in
the various communities and
petitions were circulated and the
bulk of the people expressed
themselves as being in favor OF
such a project.
Due to the financial condition
# the county, it was difficult to
oct any assurance of aid for a
building, After several meetings
an appropriation of $500 was
made. A building committee was
selected consisting of Letcher
Stump, Edgar Dixon, Jesse Cen
try, John Reeves, Ben Little,
Tohn Dixon and A. B. Hurt. The
latter was elected secretary and
treasurer and had general charge
Of securing materials for the
