The Lewisburg City Council ap
proved a variance at ~ts monthly
meeting June 19 to allow the con-
struction of an office building for
Mountaineer Gas Company. [he

its Washington Street location to the
company's pipe yard facilities at
Feamster Road and Thomas Street.
Representatives of the gas com-
pany appeared before the Lewis-
burg Board of Zoning Appeals May

board failed to act on the request.
Residents of the surrounding area

In appealing to case to the Le-

Gas Company officials assured the
City the new construction would im-
prove the appearance of the pipe
yard property with landscaping and
the installation of a prwacy fence
Several residents of the area had

ance.

company's landscaping the lot and

dinance on first reading for the

Mr Gainer aonounced c~ty crews
will build sev£,ral passing areas
along Maple Street In a recent
meeting the Council discussed the
narrowness of the street and the al-
leged need for widening or passing
areas. W~dening the road. estimated
at $150,000, was luled out because
of the cost. City crews wi!l work on
the project during the next several
months using city tur~ds budgeted
for such m)provements
A recent questionnaire sent to
landowners on Greenbrier Road and
South Court Street proposed build-
ing sidewalks along those roads at
landowners' expense. Mayor Gainer
said a low number of questionnaires
were returned, and the majority of
respondents were opposed to the
idea.

nounced alcoholic beverages are
not allowed at city parks 'We will
not tolerate them," he said.
The next meeting of the Lewis-
burg City Council will be July 17, 7

Upon awakening this morning,
the first comment from me to Frank
was "What is the date'T' "The four-
teenth of June," came his reply! I
said "This is Flag Day!" I wonder if
those fellows will think to put our
flags out?" We've had so many bad
experiences with our American
flags. One Christmas I gave every
single one of our families a flag to
fly. That is how much I love that
dear old flag -- its red. white and
blue color ---- to see itwaving m the
breeze. Those flags I bought in a
commissaw in Dallas, Texas -- I do
believe. The man looked at me
'What are you going to do with all
those flags?" My reply, "Christmas
gifts for tile families." We probably
bought a dozen!
Another year flags were pur-
chased for the home, Olde Church
Replica, and Organ Cave School.
The one I hung on Olde Church
Replica was stolen. My sister-in-law,
Vera from Warrenton, Virginia came
by for a visit. I said 'Let's hop in the
car. I want to show you something
pretty!" So we drove to the Replica. I
wanted to show her the 3x5 flag we
bad placed on the broad side of the
building and the three little flags sur-
rounded by blossoms in the flower
box! "Lo and behold somebody had
