Development Group Told Of Latest Site-seekers Louisville Company Sends Representatives To Mount Vernon

•An encouraging new prospect i* Ml. Vernon's search for in-dustry was p r e s e n t e d at a fuesday noon called meeting attended by 11 representatives of the Rockcastle County De-velopment Corporation.

Representatives of the latest ]ocaU<J!-*e^>w, the Arh/oar Creamery Company of Louis' ville, conferred recently with Corporation chairman R. H. Humm about the possibility of erecting a concrete-block build-ing with surrounding .acreage for use as a milk receiving station for grade C milk.

Estimates of procurement of the land and erection of the

-building ran from $20,000 to $30,000. The company, which wants immediate action, will agree to lease the building for a period of ten years at an an-nual rental rate of eight per cent of the original Investment. t,ong range plans, if enough milk is available, call for eree-i:!-- chwe-toctorx. after the ten-year period mt» d«v>-ed. The creamery would em-ploy five local men, the cheese operation would employ about 35. .

The surrounding land would have to.be irrigated by use of pipe-sprays and would require approximately four pounds of water for e v e r y • hundred-weight of milk received. Cor-poration - fh embers think t h e local water supply is sufficient in supply that amount.

Before giving the Louisville firm, a subsidiary of Armour Meat Packing Company, an an-swer the group agreed to con-tact a cheese plant in Stanford,, telling officials there of t h e recent development.

Red Devils\ Eliminated In Meet As Countiatis Win

The lucky number stopped at seven this week for Coach Jack l.aswell and his Red Devils of Mt Vernon High School. That was how many successive ap-pearances the local school has made in the regional tourna-ment.

The Devils had an off-year this season and were eliminated 73-51 in their first appearance at the 46th District tournament at Memorial.

Challenging the supremacy of the {avored host team, the Ked Devils were unable to con-tinue their tournament magic, which had carried them to two wins in tournament play this season, giving them most of their wins in a season tnat featured the worst competitive year in recent history iov the lo"1*- . , .u On tke -brighter side of the (tournament picture, however, Brodhead. 97-65 loser at Wpyne County in its last regular-sea-son appearance last week, took a 92-58 margin of victory from Liberty fh the District's first contest, while Livingston, play-ing on a double bill with Mt. Vernon, trailed for the greater part of the contest before galn-
