Sewer Passes
(Continued from page 1)
at a full 20,000 gallons per
day capacity, while Norlina
uses a lagoon system of
treatment.
Soul City will be able to
pump its sewage through
the lines when Warrenton's
existing sewer lines are
upgraded next year with a
$350,000 grant reeceived by
the town for this purpose.
Work is expected to begin in
January.
A $3.8 million grant is also
being sought to enlarge the
Warrenton plant and expand
its capacity. When this work
is finished, all three municipalities
will be served by
one treatment facility.
The municipalities have to
negotiate further with Warren
County, present owner
of the force main and pump
station, who must devise
workable agreements and
contracts for maintenance.
County manager Charles
Hayes commented that with
the pump station completed
and sewer lines laid, the
county has reached "the
beginning of putting something
together.
"It's a start in the right
direction," Hayes said. "It
?ives us the nucleus to have
a sewage capacity over a
large area," considered a
arime incentive for indus:rial
placement.
He added, however, that
he county must "have an
wfutf tMltiii opacity before
ve can become a viable
selling tool" to interested
ndustries.
"It's a start, though, and
t is a very positive start."

available next year.
. "* don>t feel my daughter
is exceptional," insisted
Mrs. Shearin. "I think she's
average."
Mrs. Shearin said she is
not sure that the schools are
teaching the average. She
said the general math class
is too simple. While she
admitted that her daughter
has plenty of math work, it's
the type of work that
indicates the inadequacy of
the course.
?ld her dauShter's
English course has not
progressed beyond the diaot
sentences and
that there is no literature
book in which "to process
the English."
"It is not too good to think
about the new school coming
up and to carry over these
old things," Mrs. Shearin
argued.
Mrs. Shearin wa*MMfcularly
concerned about her
daughter's having skipped
school. She attributed this to
not getting what she needs
in school. She said that her
daughter had never been in
trouble before.
Mrs Shearin said she
went to the school not to
blame it, but to seek help
from it.
"It all came out when I
went to see the principal. It
was the assistant principal I
talked to. I asked him what
we could do. He said, 'I don't
seeanythmg wrong; there's
nothing to be done'."
Mrs. Shearin said she does
feel there is something to be
done- She said something
has been done and hopes it
will continue.

"You've taken a major step
by showing up at this board

Bobbitt added, "You have to

right back here to the
board."
Mrs. Shearin said, "I want
to see something change.
These are her important
years."

bids were let twice - Aug. 18
and Sept. 21 - before
enough bidders responded.
Remaining funds will be
used to convert the hospital
emergency room into a
suitable x-ray room and to
move the emergency room
into the current delivery
room.
Proposed hospital pro-'
jects in health planning
region four, comprised of
local government Regions J
and K, must be approved
first by Capital Health
Systems, Inc. if project
expenses are to entail more
than $100,000.
Once approved by that
agency, project ^pp'ications
are routed to the State
Health Planning and Development
Agency in Raleigh
before reaching their
final destinations at the
federal HEW offices in
Washington.
Andersen said the project
was originally expected to
cost approximately $124,000;
however, equipment
bids lower than expected
reduced the total cost.
