Summer camp students receive in struction about computer history and the fundamental operations performed by computers. According to Bob Tart, director of vocational educa tion at the Duplin Board of Education, summer camps are being held at East Duplin and Wallace-Rose Hill, where 17-unit computer labs have recently been installed. Computer labs of similar sue are planned for James Kenan *and Nrtfth Duplin, Tart said., to be completed by the end of 1984. The labs for James Kenan and North Duplin are planned to include electronic typewriting equipment in addition to computer units. The i7-unit labs at East Duplin and Wallace-Rose Hill cost $20,000 each, Tart said. "East Duplin and Wallace Rose Hill were chosen to locate the first computer labs because the high schools had the facilities to accommodate the lab and teachers who were qualified to begin in struction immediately." Duplin Director of Vocational Education Bob Tart said. "Last year there was one computer in each high school. And. students learned how to do some accounting and word processing through the busi ness education curriculum. This fall a course. Intro duction to Computers, will begin at Wallace-Rose Hill and East Duplin High Schools teaching students a little computer history and programming in the BASIC language." Even though elementary and junior high school stu dents will have access to computers within Duplin public schools. Tart ex plained. the main emphasis in computer education will be in the high schools. After installation of computer hardware at all Duplin high schools, a sequence of com puter courses are planned to begin with keyboarding and typewriting followed by Introduction to Computers and concluding with PASCAL. PASCAL is a pro gramming language used by many college systems. Tart said. .i? n 1: _ in a snorr umc ine L/upon public schools will be able to offer training in the skills today's students need to enter the modern work force, where computer training is a necessity." Tarts said. "And, we are very appre ciative of the Duplin County businesses and industries who have sponsored the summer computer camps. The Duplin Board of Edu cation would not have been able to sponsor the computer camps at no costs to the students, so we are very grateful for the interest our area businesses and indus tries have taken in local education." By Emily Killette Of ? Board Sets Trash Collection Fees m ? By EmilyKJUette m. 2 The 1983-84 Faison town trudget was approved by hjwn commissioners June 22 2 the town hall. City taxes will remain at 57 cents and a & garbage collection fee was Approved. ~ Faison was the only town i-. . f tii uupiin not cnarging tor frbage collection. Faison ayor Francis McColman reported an average garbage collection of $6.30 for busi Jl^sses and $3.50 for resi dents in Duplin towns. Gar bage collection rates varied gom $2 to $16. Collections per week averaged two and a half for businesses and one 4fid a half, residential. Mc Colman said. Tax rates ^ithin all Duplin towns but Hfachey exceeded Faison's rjte of 57 cents per $100 evaluation. * "I think the rate should be Mgher for businesses," Commissioner Melvin Rogers said. "If the town employees have to break down cardboard boxes. I'm against charging businesses only $2. It costs me $14 to $21 a week to have garbage picked up at my business." "We're talking about a minority of businesses in town with large amounts of cardboard boxes as trash." Commissioner Bill Igoe said. "The Board should go ahead and adopt the $2 fee and be thinking about the prob lem." The motion to adopt a $2 garbage collection fee for businesses and residents was unanimously passed. Collec tion fees will begin in July. The trash collection fees are estimated to bring in $7,000 to the 1983-84 Faison town budget. Included in the new budget is a five percent salary increase for town em ployees. Also, 5,10,000 was allocated to the town rec reation department from the Faison general fund. The recreation department operated in the 1982-83 fiscal year on $11,876 from the town and additional funds raised through special events. The Faison recrea tion program is under the supervision of Curtis Man gum on a part-time basis. The 1983-84 Faison general budget was ap proved at $195,000. The water and sewer department budget was set at $99,855; Powell Aid Fund, $16,500; and the general revenue sharing. $7,000. THUR. JUN. 30 ^WRESTLINB us pjl IS PH. KENANSVILLE MEM.

Substantial penalty for early withdrawal I Duplin Personalities The Duplin County Emer gency Services is constantly working with local fire and rescue departments in efforts to provide better service to area citizens. Director of Duplin Emergency Services Hiram Brinson said. Within Duplin there are 20 fire departments and im... '?'in 20 rescue/ambulance vehicles. Hiram Brinson Each Fire department and rescue unit is manned bv local volunteers, and each must be trained. Brinson said. A member of the fire department must have 30 hours of training each year, and a volunteer on the rescue units must be a certified Emergency Medical Techni cian. The EMT course invol ves 106 hours of class work and a final test administrated by the North Carolina Emer gency Services. '' Most volunteers on a fire or rescue squad are better trained than most of the professional fire or rescue personnel," Hiram Brinson. Directot of Duplin Emergen cy Services said. "Volun teers who take the EMT or fire department training are there because they want to be and learn more. "Members of rescue squads are better trained today than 10 years ago and use more specialized equip ment. The EMT training will cover a number of different things like, some medical terminology, reading vital signs, taking blood pressure, splinting broken bones and administering CPR. And, it makes a difference, probably 50 percent more lives are saved today through the knowledge of the \olunteers on the rescue units," Brin son said. Courses for training in EMT are taught in cooper ation with James Sprunt Technical College hosting a variety of lectures from local EMT personnel and Duplin County doctors and nurses, Brinson explained. Duplin County's ambu lance service began in 1%8 with units in Kenansville, Rose Hill, Magnolia and Faison. And, by 1972 local funeral home ambulance service was replaced by county units manned by volunteer staffs, Brinson said. Each of the 20 county fire departments operate inde pendently. However Brinson pointed out, a central fire and rescue communications system is located at the Emergency Services office in Kenansville. All incoming fire or rescue calls are taken in the Emergency Services office and alarms dispatched from Kenansville. "One of the best things which has helped our fire departments is the central communications systems, " Brinson said. "Now there are no local fire department volunteers sitting by phones waiting for calls. And, the system puts the Emergency Services office in direct con tact with trucks at the loca tion of the fire." The central communications system was installed during 1971-72. To day, fire departments are worlvng with Emergency Services to lower rural insurance rating. Two pro jects in progress which Brin son says will help lower fire insurance ratings for rural citizens are the quick dump tank and dry hydrants. A quick dump tank is a portable pool where 2,000 gallons of water can be unloaded at the site of a fire and pumped out as needed. Dry hydrants are pipes installed to farm ponds where water tankers can fill-up in rural areas during a fire outside the town limits. More than half of the Duplin fire departments have the portable quick dump tanks, Brinson said. Dry hydrants are being installed through ou Duplin, eaqch costs ap proximately $175. Along with fire and rescue departments work the Duplin Emergency Services office is responsible for county civil defense. The Emergency Services Departments were originally established in 1963 under the title of Civil Defense Offices, Bringon said. In Duplin, Brinson is the third director of Emer gency Services, he has been in the position since February of 1970. Brinson is a graduate of the Rowan Technical College. Fire and Safety Engineering Tech nology program. He is a 1965 graduate of James Kenan High i School, a native of Kenansville, and a 20 year veteran of the Kenansville Fire department. Warsaw Man Dies In Fire Emerson Williams Jr.. 49. of Warsaw, died Sunday in the fire that destroyed his home on S.R. 1105, just outside the Warsaw city limits. Williams was alone at home when the fire was spotted at 12:22 p.m. Sunday by a neighbor who saw smoke coming from the house and telephoned autho rities. according to Duplin County Deputy Glenn Jerni gan. The body was found in a chair in the living room in the front of the home. The fire started in the kitchen ? in the rear of the home ? but Jernigan is un certain what caused the fire in the one-story wooden frame house. The Warsaw Volunteer Fire Department fought the blaze for more than an hour, but was unable to douse the flames. Only the front walls of the home remain standing. Williams apparently died from smoke inhalation, ac cording to preliminary medical reports, but an autopsy is to be done this week. Jernigan said. Cape Fear Tech Dean's List Dr. E.T. Satterfield, Jr..
