The new structure, erected at a cost of more than $500,000, replaced a building lost in a fire during January, 1971. The principal, Hoyt Lunsford, supervises 13 teachers and some 300 students in grades 3 through 6. A former English teacher at Andrews High School, Lunsford set up special training last year for the elementary school staff in the team-teaching technique. The new school consists of three big pods, where one grade is taught by three teachers in each; plus cafeteria, kitchen, and four small rooms and a self-contained classroom.

"Who wants to work for state government now?" he asked. "How can we expect to get the same caliber employes to work in Raleigh?" The attorney general also took time to plug for the seven-man Democratic slate for City Council. Responding to Mayor Richard Wood who had earlier said "We have to let the opposition develop the issues, all we can do is run on our record," Morgan said that Asheville voters should not put the city's budget "in the hands of inexperienced people."

Being a rather monogamous-minded dog at that time, he didn't like the idea of all that competition, sq he switched his allegiance to the Hazelwood Post Office. "When he started with me seven years ago," said Gorge Sheehan, a Hazelwood letter carrier, "Plug would make the full route with me about ten and a half miles a day.

He was great company. He'd trot along beside me until he saw a cat then he'd take off. He dearly loved to chase cats. He was a fighter, too. He'd fight anything that moved.

He'd never start a fight except, of course, with a cat but he wouldn't dodge a fight with any dog in Hazelwood. He purely loved to fight" Better Way Of Life Three or four years later, when Plug was edging on up toward 10 years old, be discovered a better way of life than a full day of walking, chasing cats and fighting dogs. Plug made friends with the late Houston Swanger, who operated the Haywood Electric Company in Hazelwood, and every day at 12 o'clock would leave the postman and trot over to the electric store where Houston would feed him. When Houston Swanger died, his son, Red, continued to pamper Old Plug. "He'd come in here every day wanting his dinner," Swanger said.

"He liked Prime, and when ate his fill he'd lie around the floor and customers would step over him. They all liked him and didn't mind. He was king. "At 3 o'clock he'd start pushing on my leg, wanting his oatmeal cookie. You could almost set your watch by him.

Then he'd lie around the rest of the afternoon and close to closing time he'd start looking for a ride home. If he couldn't find one here, he'd go down the street to the Hazelwood Police Station and they'd take him home." "That Plug," said Kenneth Moore, Hazelwood's chief of police, "was some dog. He'd come trotting down the street to get his ride home and if the door to the police station was closed, he'd scratch on the door. If we didn't answer right away, he'd bark. "We'd put him in the squad car and drive him home.

It was only about a mile or so. When we let bim out at his bouse he'd switch that stub of a tail and a pleasant look would cross his face, like he was thanking us. Once in a while we'd get an emergency call and have to let Plug out halfway home. He didn't like that. I put him out one day and he stood there looking at me like he was calling me a so-and-so under his breath, and then he jumped in a pile of leaves and kicked leaves five feet in the air.

Policeman's Helper "I remember two incidents that came out of our taking him home. Once, out from where Plug lived, we discovered a house on fire. We got the fire department to it and they got the fire out with only a little damage, but if we hadn't been driving Plug home the fire might not have been discovered and the house could have burned down. "Another time, we had taken him home and were coming back when we got a 10-29 on the radio. That's a bulletin about a wanted man.

This fellow had been to California, and had come back, and suddenly we saw him, going around back of town. We ran him two miles and apprehended him. Probably wouldn't have seen him at all if we hadn't taken Plug home." When the Hargroves moved from Boyd Avenue to Breezemont Drive, the distance from the Hargrove home to downtown Hazelwood was more than Plug cared to negotiate on foot, so when Mrs. Hargrove drove to her teaching job at Waynesville Junior High, she'd give Plug a lift and drop him off in the center of town. "Sometimes Plug would go over to Haywood Electric for breakfast," Chief Moore said.

"Then he'd sit on the sidewalk in front of the Northwestern Bank and watch the post office across the street When George Sheehan came out Plug would check the stop light, cross the street, and make the rounds with George." Three weeks ago Plug had his last fight "He came home one day torn all to pieces," Mrs. Hargrove said. "He must have been attacked by a mob of dogs. He died before we could do anything for him." The whole town of Hazelwood felt the loss, but three men in particular mourned the loss of Plug. "He was some dog," said George Sheehan.

"We really miss him," said Kenneth Moore. "There'll never be another one," said Red Swanger. The Hargroves buried Plug in a wooded area in their back yard and put up a granite stone to mark his grave. said, adding that the store haa -J ill- soia a lot oi powueicu Piedmont Airlines reported oil, raised its wholesale prices Mr. and Mrs.
