Total receipts for the 1957-58
basketball season for the Cald-
we'll high school reached stag
gering figure of $2,203.03, accord
ing to a financial statement re-
leased today by Principal Gilbert
w. Weekley.
The receipts are concrete
indication of how basketball was
pulled out of the low income
bracket at the local school the
past year under Coach Glenn
Scott, who has a flare for the
spectacular and building attend
ance at the home games, in ad-
dition to producing a winning
ball club.

for sectional tournament; $207.25
for independent tournament;
$4,000 guarantees; $175.50, shoes
and $3.50 miscellaneous.
But while the receipts were
high, so were the expenditures
and they totaled $2,250.72, &C
cording to the report.
However this included ST.
091.38 for new suits and supplies
and they will of course be used
for several years. Other expendi-
lures were: transportation,
$214.00; officials, $303.20; guar
antees, $208.24: food, $685.; dry
cleaning suits, $65.15; expense to
Beverly, w. Va, $100; telephone,
$65.4O; police, $24.00; awards,
M.V.L., state tournament, $109.83.
There was a balance on hand
at the beginning of the season
of $51.15 and this made the grand
total receipts amount to $2,254.18,
or a balance on hand of $3.46 as
of July 18, 1858.
Principal Weekley also pointed
out that they still owe $288 to

traSt ana increase with l,722 pa
tient days and $2,152.50 in pay
ments for the previous fiscal year.
Although more persons were
hospitalized for the treatment of
tuberculosis during the past year,
they spent 74,255 fewer days in
TB sanatoriums than the year be-
fore, and the cost to the state is
the lowest since it entered the
program in 1947.
These facts were revealed in
the annual report of the state
auditor on how money provided
by the legislature to assist in the
fight against tuberculosis was
spent.
Most large counties showed a
big drop in number of patient
days last year, while wide varia-
tions are shown in smaller coun-
ties, some showing big increases,
others sharp decreases. This is
thought to be due to periodic
visits by mobile chest X-ray units
to a county. The state pays sub
sidy of $3.50 or SIPS a day for
patients in an approved public
tuberculosis hospital or sanator-
ium.
Out of s2,2OO,OOo appropriated
by the legislature for TB sub
sidy payments, the state spent
$2,046,520.2 showing the steady
decline since the peak year of
1852.

Unemployment Claims
Show Substantial Drop

There were ten initial claims
filed with the Bureau of Unem-

ing to Manager Don Robertson.
This number marks a drop of
eleven over the previous week
when Il new claims were filed
in the K. of c. building office.
Manager Robertson reported
227 claims filed for continued

increase over the week ending
July 26 when 1877 continued pay
ment claims were filed.

Work Progresses
On New, Modern
75O-Seat Smyrna
High Field House

Things are moving ahead on
all levels in construction of the
new 750-seat field house at
Smyrna High School. The Struc-
ture, part of Smyrna Special
School Districts 100000 build
ing program, is being built on
Frazier Street, just across from
the high school. Completion is
scheduled for February Is, 1859.
One may observe from the ac-
tivity that construction is in
progress on three levels, above
the ground, on the ground, and
below the ground. Workmen are
moving trusses into place. Huge
cranes lift the huge steel trusses
up into position. On either end
a man rides to fasten the arch
in place when it reaches the
proper height. Guide ropes are
fastened on the ends to prevent
accidents, and to speed up pro-
per placement of the truss. AS
this edition goes to press, the
last truss is in place. Finishing
touches are being made in the
locker room areas, prior to
pouring of cement. Protruding
from the ground are water sup
ply lines and drains as we'll as
electric feeder lines. Electri-
clans are now installing the
electrical system for the new
building. This new addition to
the buildings of our school dis
trict will provide more space to
the now overcrowded physical
