September 23, 1977 Around Adair with Ed Waggener This article first appeared in the September 23, 1977 issue of the Daily Statesman. Topics included a number of significant construction projects, the local literary scene, and a novel way to cut tobacco, plus high praise for the speech Earl Huddleston made at the dedication of Fairplay Meat Processing. --Pen By Ed Waggener "Drop the blade!" is going to be the battle cry in Columbia, if new projects keep being announced. It looks as though the bulldozers and cement trucks will keep moving in 1978. There was obvious pride in a hometown company getting the low bid on the new Adair County Public Library. McLean Construction did the work on the Adair County Courthouse. Joe McLean and his son Gerald employ local men in construction, and two of three of their sub-contractors are from Columbia. Hopes are high on the hospital There still is no word on the FmHA loan for the new West Lake Cumberland Hospital. The loan application is in Washington now, and as one local official said, "You don't tell those people to hurry up." He did note, though, that word is expected within two or three weeks. The jail may be now or never Still, there is concern about the new jail. New standards are being set for county jails all the time.
