elected president of the
Warren County Historical
Association at the quarterly
meeting on Monday night at
the Warren County Memorial
Library.
Matt A. Johnston was
elected vice-president, with
Mrs. Roger Limer being

and corresponding), and
Miss Mary Frances Rodwell,

Following the election of

It was noted that Mrs.
John Kerr appeared at the
North Carolina Historical

state reasons for additional
funds to be designated for
the restoration of the Jacob
Holt house.
Matt Johnston represented
the Warren County
Historical Association at the
dedication of the UDC State
Headquarters in Raleigh on
Saturday.
This is the first time that
the North Carolina UDC has
had official state headquarters.
The building is across
the street from the Governor's
Mansion.
Two Attend Program
William Hardy and Lisa
Bobbitt were Warren County's
representatives to East
Carolina University's recent
Scholarship Weekend Program.
Scholarship Weekend is
held annually at ECU to
acquaint high school scholars
with the campus and the
academic scholarships
available to qualified students.
Those attending were
selected on the basis of their
Preliminary Scholastic
Aptitude Test (PSAT) scores
and recommendations
from their respective high
schools.
Public Hearing Held
(Continued from page 1)
director of the Louisburg
Chamber of Commerce,
specifically asked to speak
last. She was granted this
request.
Mrs. Duke is a long-time
foe of a plant on Sandy
Creek and she said that
earlier that day the Louisburg
chamber had adopted
a stand opposing the Sandy
Creek site.
Several other people
spoke against having a plant
on Sandy Creek, which flows
through Franklin, Vance
and Warren counties.
"We have very carefully
considered each of the
alternatives," said A1
Peoples of Franklin County.
"We're opposed to the upset
of a sensitive, virtually
untouched area ...Sandy
Creek."
Egbert L. Haywood of
Durham, however, a member
of the Kerr Lake
Protective Association, said
the association would prefer
an alternative to build a
single plant on Sandy Creek
and consolidate all sewer
treatment there.
But he said the association
was willing to '.'take an
equitable position" in favor
of Henderson's split-plant
proposal. The association
strongly opposed another
alternative, to consolidate
all sewer treatment in a
refurbished Nutbush Creek
plant, he said.
L. I. Sutthin, resource
manager for Kerr Lake for
the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, said the Corps
also would prefer consolidation
of all new sewer
treatment into a new plant
on Sandy Creek.
But Sutthin said the
Corps' second »preference
would be the two-plant
proposal and the last choice
would be a single plant on
Nutbush Creek, which
empties into Kerr Lake.
Many of Henderson's
leading citizens, including
industrial executives, spoke
in favor of the city's
proposal. Boyd also submitted
a petition signed, he
said, by 1,770 people who
favored the city's proposal.
Boyd reiterated the city's
criticism of delays in the
projects.
"Here the city is five
years along (from the time
it was told that its present
sewer system is inadequate)
and still hasn't got a sewer
project,"he said.
He said the city had hoped
to have a new sewer system
about the same time the
regional water system began
operating. He said both
projects were important to
the city's economic future.
The regional water
system, which will serve
Henderson, Oxford, and
Soul City, has been completed,
but a pipe sealant
problem has delayed putting
it into operation.
The pipe is still being
reamed out, but Boyd said
Tuesday night that the
water system would be
dedicated June 3.
Boyd said the city opposed
a large plant on Nutbush
Creek because more residents
would be affected in
that area than in the Sandy
Creek area.
Beginners Day

said, "Children not meeting
