Tm Warren Record, Warronton, North Carolina, Tharsday, Over 1,100 New Homes Reported Warren County gained more than 1,100 new structures during the fouryear period from 1973-76, according to figures included in a new building codes study now being reviewed by county commissioners. Statistics gathered to indicate future inspection needs in Warren County show that the 599 mobile homes brought into Warren County during the past four years exceeded the number of traditional homes built in the county during the same period. New home starts during 1973-76 in Warren were put at 524. Additionally there were 13 commercial, industrial and public buildings erected during the four years. ine ngures were uiieu from reports of septic tank inspections, and were included in the 85-page study to show commissioners how many inspections might be required in future years. According to the study, the majority of code inspection activities will take place in the Lake Gaston area and in the Manson, Ridgeway, Norlina, Warrenton area. The study further suggested that some 64 percent of the inspections in the Lake Gaston area will be for the new location of mobile homes, while in the Warrenton area, inspections will be fairly evenly divided between mobile homes and new housing construction. In assessing manpower needs for enforcement of additional building codes, the study shows that several on-site inspections may be required per structure. At the present time Warren County enforces an electrical code and has an electrical inspector who also enforces the county's subdivision regulations. County commissioners have the option to enforce any or all of six codes which have been adopted by the state North Carolina. Roy Williford, community planner with the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Govern ments and author of the code, suggested that all state codes be enforced, along with a minimum housing code. Two or three code enforcement officers, each drawing an annual salary of $10,000, were suggested, with the bulk of the cost borne by the homeowner. A fee system would be established to finance enforcement. Warren now pays $7,000 more yearly for the enforcement of subdivision regulations and the county electrical code than permits and inspection fees bring in. Conserve Energy Even If You Don't Have Unit Summer energy conservation measures benefit both those with and without air conditioners. During the summer months, reducing the amount of heat inside the home can be accomplished through careful and limited use of appliances, says Everette Prosise, Extension Housing and House Furnishings specialist at North Carolina State University. Turn off light bulbs, radios, TV and even phonographs when they are not in use. When possible, do heavy baking in the cooler time of the morning or evening. Use the washer, dryer and iron during cooler periods of the day. This saves energy used by the air-conditioner and also avoids peak electrical load periods. Use small appliances as much as possible instead of your large oven. The oven may produce more heat than you need, use more energy and put a strain on the house cooling unit.

Homecoming day is June 25, 1977. -MYCHURCHBy LOUISE WILSON My church stands in a quiet place, long ago the members were of more than one race, It's made of brick now, and has a fine steeple, A cemetery, pretty lawn, and the congregation sometimes a small group of people. There's dignity and respect, a lot of love one for the other All stand and talk after service, of work to do, fishing trips, Or how to help a needy brother. When crops were very thirsty, the earth so dry, it stemed as if every green thing was just going to die, Members asked the pastor to pray for rain We all silently joined him, believing it was not in vain, before that service ended the thunder just rolled Then came the down pour, a blessing tenfold. You need not take my word, ask the members, Anyone— they'll quickly tell you that what I've said was done. Maybe you know a soul you feel needs to be saved, bring them on down, the road is paved. Revival is held the last week in June, time passes quickly, it will be here soon, everyone is welcome, there is good preaching, good food too, on homecoming day. Most people know of Reedy Creek Church And will gladly tell or show you the way. Area Deaths And Funerals MRS. LELIE H.
