gr^_
In my sign business 1 also make engraved name'plates,
badges, door signs and so on. My best and only
salesperson is Donna. Sometimes she goes a little
overboard in her selling. A fellow in Warsaw came by one
day wanting a nameplate for his desk. Donna did her best
to sell him. She told him of her talented husband. . .
Ahem. . .of the quality of the work and due to the fact we
work out of our home, the overhead is lower and most of
the time tne Lanier price is lower than others. The fellow
did not buy. but said he would probably come back or call.
Last week we happened by this fellow's office and there on
his desk was a nameplate. . .Donna said. "Well. I see you
got you a nameplate. . .We try and learn from our
mistakes, and if you don't m'nd telling me, where did 1 go
wrong in my sales talk. Maybe next time I will make the
sale." "Well, it was not your fault." said the fellow.
Donna continued. "Well, the style is exactly like mine; the
qualitv and work is good. You eot a good product and
didn't get gyped on workmanship. . .Perhaps the price?
But I know my prices are less and that I offered you a goody
deal." The fellow said. "Well, Donna, to tell you the truth
it was the price." ... "I can't believe someone undersold
me," said Donna. . ."Well, they did." said the fellow. .
"If vou had told me. I could have made vou a better
price." replied Donna. . ."I don't think you could have
matched this one," said the man. . ."Yes I could have,"
said Donna. The fellow said, "Well, a friend gave me the
nameplate. It didn't cost me a cent!". . ."Ha." said
Donna. "I knew it. I could have beat that price. I was
thinking of giving you S2 to take mine." . . .
*****
1 have, over the past couple of weeks, tried out this
beard thing. . .It is not for me. It was itchy and made me
look like a drunken hobo who didn't care enough about his
looks to shave. I must admit it sure did cut down on my
time in the bathroom. . .1 liked the time-saving of not
having to shave, but what really changed my mind about
the ugly thing was what Donna said. She said, after
backing away from a kiss, "Maybe 1 can get used to it." If
there is one thing I don't want her to do is get used to me. .
.1 want her to want me. It kinda reminded me of the diet
drinks. . Folks bought soft drinks herause thev likeH th?>ir
taste from the very getinning. Then along came the diet
soft drinks, and they say they are good once you get used
to them. . .That sounds dumb to me. . .Drink them
because you like them. . .But when you don't like them,
you have to get used to them. It seems a little dumb to
drink them. . .Seems all you really want to do is spend the
money for them. . .And you are going to spend the money
even if you have to drink something that is not good to you.
*****
Tomorrow when you sit down to your Thanksgiving
meal, I hope you will make a point of talking and
remembering only the good things that have happened to
you during the past year. . .Forget the uncertainty, the
unpleasant, and those things that did not make you happy.
. There is plenty of time left in this year for that.
.Thanksgiving is the day for giving thanks for the good
things, and no matter who you are or how bad you may
think your situation is now , there are things to be thankful
for. . .Remember them and rely on them. . .Son-of-a-Gun.

Work Will End
Soon On Cable
TV In Warsav^
Cable television line in
stallation will be complete
this week and home service
installation should be com
pleted by the end of the
month, a company official
told the Warsaw Board of
Commissioners last week.
Installation has been com
pleted for 60 homes, said
Brian Beaslev of Beasley
Cable Television Co. last
Monday. Beasley said his
workers are installing service
to about 10 residences a day.
With most line and home
service cable being buried.
more time than usual is
required for installation, he
told the board.
The system provides a
basic service of 21 channels
for $8.50 per month. It also
offers Home Box Office and
Show Time entertainment
channels for additional fees.
Installation will be free to
people signing up for service
before Nov. 30. Beasley said.
After that, installation will
cost $15.
The board approved an
ordinance barring dumping
anything except domestic
waste in the town/sewer
system. f
Gasoline has seuped into
the system on Befct Street
from time to time tor three
years, and efforts to locate
the source have been un
successful. The gasoline kills
sime of the bacteria which
break down the raw sewage
at the treatment plant.
Gasoline furpes also can be
a hazard to workers. A
manhole cover was blown off
about three years ago when
fumes exploded under Best
Street.
The board delayed annex
ation of the King's Courts
area east of Warsaw because
of opposition of a land owner
between the town and the
developed area. Met Ausley, 1
who owns a strip of un
developed land that would f
have to be taken in by the "
city to reach King's Courts,
opposes the annexation.
Residents of King's Courts c
have petitioned the town for (
annexation because of a (
water problem in their area.

Wallace Board
Authorizes
Water Contract
Engineering design work
on the proposed Wallace
waste water treatment plant
should be completed in about
six months, an engineering
firm's representative said
Friday.
The Town Board autho
rized a design contract total
ing $65,147. The town has
enough money to complete
this work and pay for the
local share of the estimated
$1,136,758 cost of the pro
posed plant, said Bill Burnett
of Henry voti Oesen and
Associates, consulting en
gineers on the project.
Burnett said the 12.5 per
cent local share of the cost
would be less than $200,000.
The federal Environmental
Protection Agency usually
finances 75 percent of such
projects, but because Wal
lace plans an innovative
technology package, the fed
eral share of the cost will
increase to 85 percent, he
said.
The state provides 12.5
percent and the local govern
ment. 12.5 percent, in most
cases, he said.
The Town Board agreed
Thursday night to apply for a
$34,774 advance from the
state Environmental Man
agement Office, which ad
ministers the "201 facilities"
program for EPA in the
state.
Town administrator Steve
Routh said Wallace has
$290,000 set aside for the
project.
The state can match fed
eral grants for treatment
plants but not for collection
systems, said Bobby Blowe
of the construction grants
division of the state's En
vironmental Management
Division.
Burnett said the project
might receive federal fund
ing in the 1983 fiscal year.
"If construction can begin as
soon as the plans have been
finished, the plant could be
in operation in 18 or 20
months." he said.
But Blowe said the 1982-83
priority list is still being
developed. "I don't know
where Wallace will stand on
it," he added. The state is
planning to advance Wallace
design money, he said.
Blowe said Wallace ranks
40th on the state's 1982
priority list.
"We don't know how
much money the state will
receive from the federal gov
ernment for these projects
next year," he said. "We
received $42 million for the
1982 year."
The Wallace project was
begun in 1973 when the state
Office of Water and Air Re
sources informed the town of
the availability of grants for
201 facilities plans. Wallace
received an HPA grant of
$37,500 for preparation of a
Wallace-Rose Hill sewage
treatment facility in Decem
ber 1974.
The completed plan was
submitted to the state Divi
sion of Environmental
Management and EPA on
June I. 1976. On Oct. 19, i
1977, additions to the plan
were submitted to the state
and federal agencies by the
engineering firm.
EPA approved the inno
vative technology package
for Wallace J.uly 12. 1982. It
later cleared the project for
environmental permits.
Burnett said the Wallace
plan received full approval of
the environmental manage
ment office on Sept. 22.
In other action Thursday
night, the board agreed to a
30-.day extension for com
pletion of the town's new
well because the contractor.
East Coast Construction Co.
of Jacksonville, was having
diffuculty getting some ma
terial.
The board delayed action
on increasing load capability
of a sewage lift station until
budget time inthe spring. It
also tabled action on taking
the Rockfish Plaza sewage
lift station into the town
system.
