Lamm Exhibits Boating Skills The FibArk Hostesses, composed of Salida jun- iors and seniors, welcomed contestants, answered questions, and advertised for the big events of the weekend. They made a trip to Denver to person- ally invite Governor Lamm to attend Salida’s Fib- Ark Boat Races. He not only attended, but partici- pated as he went down the Arkansas River in a bor- rowed canoe. The Pueblo City Council was also invited when the girls spent a morning visiting with them. Booths were set up Thursday night and remained up throughout the weekend selling everything from turquoise to green chile. The booth spaces were bought by townspeople and erected country-fair style. Saturday and Sunday were the prominent days however, since the junior slalom, the slalom, the women's slalom, and the big downriver race were run on these days. The downriver race was mn from the ”F” Street bridge to Cotopaxi; a total of 26 miles. Crowds gathered at various points along the river up to the Cotopaxi bridge (the finish line). This year's win- ner was An Vitarelli, a Californian who has won the race twice before.

District Spends $82,000 For Facilities And Repairs Construction of a new practice field south of Andreas Field House here began last summer as men and equipment labored to level a seven foot rise in elevation on the east to west field. As the work began Bill Webb, Administrative Assistant, estimated the cost of the new practice field to be around $6,000, but it turned out to be around $60,000. A new track which circles the practice field was made because the old track did not meet league or state requirements. According to Webb the track had to be at least fifteen feet away from the side line of the football playing field. Four new tennis courts were built on land south- east of the high school. Total cost of the new ten- nis courts came to about $20,000, Webb said. The lift in the auto shop was repaired after being out of commission for almost twelve months. Total costs came to about $1,891. Frank Braswell, auto shop instructor, said the job entailed removal of two sections of concrete, replacing a three- eighths inch thick casting on one of the lift posts, and relocating controls for the lift. The old casing had been eaten through by rust although it was designed to resist corrosion, according to the instructor. The engineers of the lift have no explanation for rust on the old casing. 12
