A Learning Experience at Child's Fantasy World ab*v? wtth mm af ik? Worid Learning Center. [Bnicc Barton photo] The four year olds enrolled in Child's Fantasy World Learning Center enjoyed- a trip to Fayetteville to see the Ringling Brothers and Bar num Bailey Circus held last week. They were accompani ed by the center's assistant director. Mrs. Mona Hunt. The Center is operated by Furman and Mary C. Brewer. They are happy to have Mrs. Hunt employed as the assis tant director in their center. Mrs. Hunt is a 1981 gradu ate at Pembroke State Uni versity where she received a BS degree in early childhood education. She is also an active member at the Sunday School Department at North side Church at God. Mrs. Hunt s dedication and love for God la an asset to the children enrolled in the Learning Cen ter. The owners of Child's Fan tasy ytorld believes that a person's character and per sonality is determined in the first few years of a child's life. This means that in earliest childhood the direction of a child's life is being set. The Brewers believe that the children enrolled in their center should be provided the very best care while they are away from home; to make each child feel loved, wanted, cared for and secure; to prepare each child to learn and work as a member of a group and to get along well with his/her peers and to give a Chirstian influence on the lives of children in their care. The educational program at the center provides for the children's spiritual, physical, social, emotional and intel lectual development. Theii spiritual development is pro vided through devotion and Bible stories; intellectual de velopment Is provided throu gh arts and crafts, reading, mat11 readiness, music and ftee pis. Mrs. Brewer also believes that early learning experien ces should help each child identify acceptable behaviors and develop techniques of self control. They should be able to feel pride in desirable behavior because it encour ages efficiency in accomplish ing a^iimple task. Young children often enter public school with either a negative view of themselves or a poorly defined self cAcept. The Brewers believe the children enrolled in the - center will be able to enter the public schools with a well defined positive self image of themselves.' Mrs. Brewer states that it was out of a deep Christian concern that' inspired the 1 opening of their child care center and every effort is being mat^e to see that each child gets the beat in Christi ' an care.

The Banquet is expected to draw 400-500 local and state business and political leaders as well as officers of large corporations in the U.S. The purpose of the Banquet and Fair will be to exhibit the industries of the county and to stimulate new interest in industrial develop ment. The Commissioners approved the funds only aftetj a great deal of concern was expressed that Robeson County and the CETA pro gram, the major sponsors of the Fair and the rriajor contributors (totaling almost $30,000), were not getting the credit for the Fair. It was expressed that credit was being given to the Chambers of Commerce and the Indust ries themselves. , WATER RIGHTS AND ~ DISPUTESiThe new, county wide water system is produc ing some serious problems . that were discussed by the Commissioners. Two pro lems discussed were: (1) What water can a resident use when their property is adja cent to both city and county water lines?; and (2) what to j do about residents who bought the water rights for their property before the county system was establish ed. Concerning the problem of which water lines to be used, the Commissioners ap pointed a committee made up of Herman Dial, H.T.Taylor, and Bill Herndon to look into the matter. Concerning pre vious water rights, the Com missioners took no specific action but were involved in lengthy discussion of the matter. When the County Water System was created, the County purchased 4-5 small water systems in differ ent parts of the County. Some citizens paid 1500 to the previous owners for the water rights and hook-up fees. When the County bought the lines, it did not assume the rules and regulations of the contracts of previous compan ies. Thus, some residents now find themselves facing an ' extra S17S. fee to tap onto the new system, making their total tap-on fee $675. PENALTY CHARGE ON BOUNCED CHECKS- The Commissioners adopted a pol icy that residents must pay a penalty charge of $5.00 for any bounced check made out to the county. This policy is effective April 1, 1982. This fee was accepted after a split vote with Dial. Hunt, Cox, Britt, and Morgan voting for the $5.00 fee and Hern don and Taylor opposing it. Hern don and Taylor favored a $10.00 charge for every bounced check, due to the expense of getting the money back. Speaking in favor of the $5.00 fee. Jack Morgan stat ed, "We don't want to < ON ENERGY POLICY President Reagan recent ly sent Congress a new Na tional Energy Plan charting a retreat from federal inter vention in energy markets and greater reliance on private enterprise to meet energy needs. overburden people....Our county is a service oriented body, not a profit oriented body." LOCAL TAX RE LIEF-The Commissioners approved a 2% discount on property taxes for owners who pay their taxes in the first month of billing and a 1% credit fbr those paying during the 2nd month of billing. TAX FORECLOSURES AND LAND AUCllONS-The Commissioners discussed tax foreclosures and land auctions by the county due to unpaid taxes. They expressed con cern about the low bids received for land auctioned off on March 8, including a 3 acre tract that only received a bid of $500. The Commissioners rejected the bids from thp March 8th auction ftfid set a new date of April 26th for the sale. The Commissioners approved a new policy of placing advertising of land foreclosures and auctions in every newspaper in the coun fv ENVIRONMENTAL A WARE NESS WEEK-The " ? Commissioners approved Ap ril 4-10 to be declared Envi- . ronmental Awareness Week in Robeson County. MEETING ON FOOD BANKS The Commissioners were in vited to attend an inter-county meeting to discuss the possi bility of setting up a Food Bank in Robeson County. The meeting is set for Tuesday April 6, at 1:00 pm at The House, Home of the Baptist Student Organization at PSU and is being sponsored by Robeson County Clergy and Laity Concerned. IN OTHER ACTION the Commissioners approved: (1) Funds for better lighting at the Prospect Ball Park (2) A beer license for Allen Dial of Lumbee Drive-In in Pembroke (3) Funds for a copy machine for the Register of Deeds Office. SPEAKING FROM THE CORNER-In my opinion, any citizens concerned about or effected by the city/county water line issue need to make their feelings known to the Commissioners appointed to the special committee and be present at meeting when the issue will be discussed. Those residents who paid for water rights on old water systems also need to approach their commissioners. Although there was concern expressed for the plight of such resi dents. the mood was that there was little that could be done for them. Regarding land foreclosures, it is very important that people pay their back taxes due on their property. There are more and more tax foreclosures in our county. Read the foreclosures in the newspaper, and if you see a name you know, contact that person and find out if they know their land is being sold. Somtimes people have n't read of it or can't read of the sale. Help your neighbors hold on to their land if they so desire, for land is a dwindling resource.
