Show MR. AND MRS. JOHN HILL #1 Company had a plant there. In these early days, I'm talking about 1914, say, to '22. CE: What were the educational facilities? Was there a school and how many grades did it have? JH: They had a school. They must have run a bus to Nucla, the high school, but I don't remember that far 'cause I just got out of school then. CE: No, they didn't, I don't think they did. There was a school there up to the eighth grade. Your children weren't old enough? JH: No. When our children got to be six years old the boss said we were moving, and we got transferred to Grand Junction that same year. LH: They didn't have buses when we were down there. JH: I don't remember them having them, but now of course they have a gymnasium, they have a fine school. The high school kids go up to Nucla, which is a Union [ Carbide J high school, and I think that it's good. Anyway the kids seem to---?--- in good shape. CE: Do you remember any social problems? Was there anything, regarding prejudice, as you read about it now, where people were segregated? LH: No, no, no. JH: No. CE: There was no segregation. 16 |
