WCC Weathers Shortage Endowment Fund Set Up By Leaf her wood Estate Swain County students are the beneficiaries of a bequest announced recently by Thurman Leatherwood of Bryson City in the establishment of a $100,000 endowment fund at Western Carolina College. Leatherwood, as executor of the estate of his late wife, Mrs. Nell M. Leatherwood, said terms of her will provided certain stocks, bonds, and cash in excess of $80,000, and he added gifts of his own to round out the figure. Earnings from the permanent endowment are specified for use of needy qualified students of Swain County who wish to attend Western Carolina College. In the event there should be none from Swain County in any given year, the money may be used for students from other western counties. The Leatherwood family has long been known for its support of education in Western North Carolina. In 1904 R. L. Leather- wood, the father of Thurman Leatherwood, donated the land on which the Bryson City school is located. As a Senator in the 1893 General Assembly, he was instrumental in obtaining the first state appropriation for the school which grew into Western Carolina College. Later, Thurman Leatherwood attended school here under Professor R. L. Madison's administration. Mrs. Leatherwood herself was a native of Ohio, educated at Western College in Ohio and the University of Michigan. She taught first grade in Swain County for many years, and to several generations was known affectionately as "Miss Nell." The recently published History of Swain County, by Mrs. Lillian Thomasson, was dedicated in part to Mrs. Leatherwood. Leatherwood was an attorney for thrity-seven years, but gave up his practice in 1947 to assume management of the Carolina Woodturning Co.. a family- owned business. Their nephew, Robert L. Leatherwood III, an attorney and former member of the North Carolina Leigslature, handled legal aspects of the endowment fund transaction. He said recipients of scholarships will be chosen by a faculty committee at Swain High School and trusteeship of the funds is entrusted to the college. Dr. Paul A. Reid, president of WCC, said, "Western Carolina College is indeed fortunate to have such good friends as Mr. Thurman Leatherwood and his wife, the late Mrs. Nell M. Leatherwood. More than that, their generosity will bring uncountable benefits to the people of their home county through many future generations. What better good can an individual do on this earth than to pour his material resources into the lives of young people, thereby strengthening their own contribution to society." (See related story on page 8). SHOWN ABOVE ARE Jerry A. Rice, principal of Swain High School, president Paul A. Reid of WCC, and Mr. Thurman Leatherwood, as Leatherwood (right) presents Reid with documents representing a $100,000 endowment to Western Carolina College. Snow, Sub-Zero Temperatures Cause Poor Campus Conditions One of the most severe winters of the century has taken its toll at Western Carolina College and the area surrounding. While the entire eastern United States has buckled under record- breaking snowfalls and subnormal temperatures, Western Carolina students have negotiated slippery walks and done without water as a result of the inclement weather. Conditions here reached their night dormitory students found themselves for the most part without hot water; in some cases neither hot nor cold water was available in the dormitories. On Monday morning the severity of the shortage became more apparent, when it was noted that practically all campus water had been shut off to conserve the supply to the cafeteria and the College Shop. When students with physical RECENT HEAVY SNOWS along the entire eastern seaboard have severly affected Western North Carolina and Western Carolina College. Slippery walks like the one shown above made walking dangerous early this week during the century's coldest weather here. worst over the weekend of January 29-30, the third consecutive weekend of snow here. Certain sections of sidewalk on campus that had never been entirely cleared from the previous snowfalls were the first to be covered early Saturday morning. By noon the entire campus was covered by the rapidly falling flakes, with no relief in sight from the grey cloud cover overhead. The heavy snowfall, which slowed and finally ended late Saturday evening leaving a total of four to six inches on the ground, was followed by record low temperatures. The bitter cold of twelve degrees below zero at one point during the night discouraged all but the bravest of WCC's sledders and snowball throwers, while the resulting hard ice on all roads kept even vehicles with chains from traveling. Despite blue skies and bright sunlight, Sunday temperatures remained well below the freezing mark, and dropped back to below zero that night. At some time during the evening a shortage in the college's water supply was noted and on Sunday education classes in Reid Gymnasium learned that classes there had been cancelled, rumors began to circulate that the college would dismiss students until the water shortage was remedied. Tuesday morning saw the campus still without water, but with temperatures rising into the mid-thirties. That afternoon a mixture of rain and snow complicated the situation and intensified the rumors concerning the school's dismissal, but by that night water had been restored to the campus. A call to the engineer's office Wednesday afternoon confirmed that, barring further complications, the water would remain on. Meanwhile, the college's maintenance personnel scraped away here and there at the hazardous sidewalks and scattered cinders in other spots, while for the most part the campus walkways remained impassable at best. It is hoped by both the Business and Engineer's Office that the new water facilities presently under construction will eliminate any possibility of water shortage in the future.
