Construction Superintendent Reports Work Is Demanding The superintendent of a con struction job is sort of like an army general,” Paul D. Chamblee Jr. said. “The general gives his men hell and they think he is an s.o.b.” Chamblee is general superin tendent of Weaver Construction Co. The Greensboro firm is building low cost federal housing projects in Zebulon, Wake Forest, Wendell and Apex. He will be supervising the con struction work. He said his job entails estimating costs, amounts, items, expediting materials, co ordinating workings between sub contractors, etc. “It keeps me pretty busy,” Chamblee said, excusing himself and dashing off to confer with some men on the project. Chamblee said no two subcon tractors can be on the job at the same time. He tries to see that the work progresses so that when Library (Continued from Page 1) If the special tax referendum carries, Raleigh residents will not be adversely affected, since the money now paid in city taxes for library support would be added to their county tax bill. Raleigh citizens state that, bas ed on property valuation, 65 per cent of the money paid to Olivia Rainey Library by the county is rightly the city’s, and thus if the special tax fails to gain approval, Raleigh should receive more than $53,000 of the county money now appropriated. This would leave about $29,000 to be used for li braries outside the City of Raleigh. Commissioner. Holding said that defeat of the tax could be consid ered by the Board of Commis sioners as a mandate to withdraw all support from the Olivia Rainey Library and reduce the County tax rate of two cents. it is time for one subcontractor is due for the job he will not be delayed. “I try to see that the work doesn’t drag,” he said. “If one subcontractor drags out a job he can hold up the progress of a pro ject.” Chamblee said the work is done in stages. There will be masons, tilemen, electricians, and many others. Each of these groups will do their work when it is necessary. He said that work on the white project here is progressing very well. The unfavorable weather conditions, however, have caused much delay and that it is always a concern of his. “We have a deadline to meet,” Chamblee said, “and I try to make it.” That’s when he gets more like a general, with demands being made on the workers. And that’s when he is sure he is called all sorts of things. General grading and compact pads have been made for the buildings. The batter boards and excavation footings have been made for one of the units. “I’ll say there is a great amount of paper work I have to do,” he said. At the time he said this he was showing a young man he hired for the local project how to work time keeping schedules. “Yes, I was bom in Middlesex. My father is still living but my mother has passed on,” he said. Chamblee, 43, has been with the Greensboro construction firm for five years. He has, however, spent his adult life in this type of work. His father was a carpenter for many, many years. He is married to the former Rebecca Winstead of Wilson County. They are the parents of four children, Freddie, 23, who is a graduate of the University of North Carolina School of Phar macy and holds a position with a drug firm in Durham, Jacqueline, Paul D. Chamblee 19, and Dail and Gail, .12-year old twin daughters. Chamblee commutes for his work here. He and his family reside in Chapel Hill. Revival (Continued from Page 1) Methodist Church in Wilmington. He has served on several boards and agencies of the conference and currently is secretary of the Board of Ministerial Training and Quali fications for the entire conference. Prayer groups have been meet ing each week at the church on Wednesday evenings in prepara tion for the revival series. On the opening night of the re vival, members of the Zebulon Baptist Church will participate. Evening services for the night are canceled and on opening night of the Baptist revival, Methodists will join in the service. All persons in the community are invited to participate and nur sery facilities will be provided each evening for babies and small children.

On* of • serial of reports bjr Otis newspaper and the Print Advertising Association oo ths advantages of print ■"*<«« Don’t you read before you buy? Most people generally do. Not only do they read; they cut out and show ads to their family and friends; they clip coupons for information and samples. When people see an advertisement in print, they can compare designs ... features .. . and prices of nationally known products and serv ices. (And people do compare before they buy.) Advertising in print is a handy thing. You can alwayB check back; the message is stQI there even if your attention is distracted. When you add it up, print advertising—the kind you read in this newspaper—makes sense. And because it measures up to the buying habits of most consumers, print makes teles.
