inside the base of the
uncompleted concrete
tower when the disaster
occurred. “ZI looked up
and men were screaming
and hollering.”

Lee Steele of nearby
Shultz said he lost four of
his five sons, a. brother,
two brothers-in-lay and a
nephew.

The surviving son,
Robert, 35, who was

employed at ‘the con-

structionsite but was not °

on the scaffolding,
identified his brothers as
Gayle, 32; Ronnie, 30,
Ernest, 29, and Miles, 25.
The Steeles were
among weeping relatives
who went to ‘a makeshift
morgue near the con-
struction site to identify
victims. .
’ In Charleston, Scott
Widmeyer, aide to Gov.
Jay Rockefeller, said: |
“There are 51 confirmed
dead.” .
Cpl. R. J. Taylor of the
state police said some of
the victims were trapped
beneath debris at the
base of the circular
tower. :

there was a'‘total of 32
prizes. ‘I would like to
thank all the local
merchants who sup-
ported the Fair by

Portman. P .

Balloons were a
common sight at the
gathering’ Younsters let
slip some of their helium
possessions but were
rescued by other
balloonists with long
enough strings to capture -
the runaways on the
ceiling.

Games at - the
celebration included can-
ball kicking, darts, fish
pond, and several others
which are hard to ex-
pllain in less than a
lengthy dissertation on.
strange games. .

Even after missing his
three tries at the can-ball —

kick. this reporter was
rewarded with a small
prize - such beneficence!

The evening was
highlighted by the: ac-
tivities on stage. Mike
Eddy ‘conducted the
Mount Elizabeth Stage
Band in several con-.
temporary tunes to the

delight of the audience.

PrincipalPortman

raffled the prizes from
the stage as well. Joe
Hamlin of TK was on

. hand with his ‘dynamic’

vocals announcing the
different activities. Joe
also had a small mishap
with one of the prizes - not
to the demise of the prize
- just a shunt on the butt
suffered in a short fall.

So what’s the money to
be used for? Principal
Portman explained that if
the proper number of
students could be
rounded-up ihe trip to
Captain k's Pacific
landmarks’ would take
place. “The money was
needed to equ an

amount offered by the-

rovinciak government to
elp finance the trip,”
says Portman.

LATE FLASH: _ Port-
man informs the Herald
that the money raised at
the Fair was not $1200 but
$1700, following ‘counting
