Mrs. R. G. Tabor, regent of the Mt. Ashland chapter of the Daughters of American Revolution, in a letter to the council, said the DAR be lieves the site will be offer ed for sale since it does not meet state requirements. The school district recently announced it has selected a site for a new junior high school. The top floor of the building was closed by the state fire marshal's office re cently. New Building Mrs. Tabor pointed out that the present auditorium and gymnasium are housed in a relatively new building and would not have to be torn down. It could serve as a civic auditorium. She suggested constructing another building on the site after the old structure is re moved. The new building would house all other city of fices, club meeting rooms and other facilities to provide . a good civic center. The DAR representative said an unofficial and de finitely estimated value of the property and buildings is $150,000, but to provide a good civic center would prob ably cost in excess of that. She pointed out that at the present time, the city is not in a position to invite con ventions or other events. The council referred the proposal to the building com mittee. William Briggs, represent ing the Plaza Promoters as sociation, requested the coun cil to consider construction of an alley behind the Plaza and to remodel the city hall at tractively. Mayor Richard Neill said a plan already has been drawn up to provide for a. back en trance and exit alleyway from Plaza establishments. Second Stage of Thor Fails To Fire Cane Canaveral. Fla. (UPD That old bugbear of rocketry- failure of an upper stage to fire - foiled an attempt to test a futuristic nose cone over intercontinental range early today. A Thor-Able rocket with a sharp, dagger-like nose cone probably rose about 65 miles above the earth on the' start of a 5,000 - mile flight. But all the Air Force's elaborate preparations to recover the cont went for. naught when the rocket's second stage failed 'to ignite. The 90-foot, two-stage rock et was the fourth in the Thor Able test series, but it was the first to be fitted with the sharp, tapered nose cone which may be used on small, solid-fuel intercontinental bal listic missiles still on the .drawing boards.
