There was a lot of name-calling and
finger-pointing Tuesday night.
Both were aimed not at personalities but
at points on a map, as Cleveland County
commissioners held the second of eight
public meetings to discuss new names for
roads in the county. The commission hopes
names for roads that are now numbered
will aid mail delivery and speed fire and
rescue responses.
About 20 people from Boiling Springs
met at the Rural Fire Department building
to discuss the two names that will affect
the town: renaming Road 1148 to the Flint
Hills Church Road and renaming Homes-
stead Road and Road 1168 to the Beaver
Dam Church Road.
J.W. Hamrick, a farmer whose land
borders both sides of 1158, presented his
case to the commission to call that
two-lane stretch Hamrick Road:
“Ninety-nine per cent of that road comes
through Hamrick land or comes by it,” he
told the commissioners. Hamrick had’done
his homework: he recounted 11 farms
along 1158 that belonged either to
Hamricks or Hamrick heirs.
The commission said it will consider his
name.
Hunt Hannah of the Cleveland County
tax maps office, who had previously
performed a similar task in Greensboro,
was
packing box. “That way there
absolutely no duplication,” he said
Confusion caused by duplication is one
reason for the naming, and sometimes
re-naming process. Numbered houses on
named roads make deliveries and rescue
and fire department responses easier and
Boiling Springs would probably start with
the first house numbered 100,” he said, “and
yet Shelby would expect to start at 100 going
south from 74.” ® ®
drew up the new map.
Hannah selected the tentative new
names for Cleveland County the same way
he named roads in Greensboro -- he lifted
them from St. Louis, Mo., a city 500 miles
away.
He said that in Greensboro he chose
original-sounding names from an old St
Louis street directory he’d found in a
faster.
Hannah, who volunteered for the job,
realizes that his names are arbitrary and
some may go against the grain. “I’m dead
against personal names unless it’s a case
where it’s real old, in use a long time,” he
said. “You’re going to slight somebody,
every time.” He used church names when
it was possible, he said.
The house-numbering process will have
to be compromised, in some instances,
Hannah noted. The reason is that
'duplication is unavoidable with numbers.
He gave as an example Homestead
Avenue, which on his new map appears as
South Beaver Dam Church Road up to U S
74. “Boiling Springs would probably start
with the first house numbered 100 ” he
said, “and yet Shelby would expect to
start at 100 going south from 74.”
He and other county commissioners are
hoping for a lot of response at several
community meetings scheduled in Febru
ary.
Meetings will be at the No. 7 Fire
Department on Feb. i; Waco Fire
Department on Feb. 2; Polkville Fire
Department Feb. 8; Casar Fire Depart
ment Feb. 9; Shanghai Fire Department
Feb. 15; No. 3 Fire Department Feb. 16-

Bethleham Fire Department on Feb 23
All meetings are at 7 p.m.

“Sagebrush Rebellion
Fails To Catch Fire
'ommander Changes
From ^‘Hawk to Dove
From NC Wildlife Commission
Despite repeated attacks on “overly
restrictive” environmental regulations -
the “sagebrush rebellion” - recent surveys
show that many Americans still favor laws
that provide for clean air, pure water and
a high quality of life. Indeed, a recent
survey of almost 40,000 members of the
National Wildlife Federation shows that 62
percent feel we need additional environ
mental regulations, 25 percent feel current
regulations are adequate, and only 11.5
percent feel we have too many environ
mental regulations.
In addition, the survey showed that
Federation members feel the federal
government should play a stronger role in
two other areas-protection of farmland
and population control. An overwhelming
yb percent of the participants favor a
national policy to stem the loss of prime
farmland to development, and 58 perceV

However, environmental regulations,
farmland protection and population growth
were only three of the eight topics covered
by the survey. Others include nuclear
power, use of public lands, transfer of
federal lands to state ownership, funding
for wildlife programs, and transportation.

a result of the declining proportion of
