Grover Lancaster, Jr.,
member of the Craven
County Board of Commis
sioners for over sixteen
years, spoke to the Vance-
oro Rotary Club at its regu
lar Thursday night meeting
last Thursday, March 1.
Lancaster, recently appoint
ed by North Carolina Gov.
Jim Hunt to the Energy
Conservation Corp, discus
sed the increasing need for
conservation of energy. The
Energy Conservation Corp.
is a volunteer group with
representatives from each
county whose job is to
promote energy conserva
tion in civic clubs and other
organiutions. Lancaster est-..
plained that in 1975 North
Carolina consumed 2.8 bil
lion gallons of gasoline,
ninety-eight per cent of
which was transportation.
In addition, 60% of the 19.5
million gallons of fuel oil
was consumed by homes.
He told the Rotarians that
this time the Energy Shor
tage is for real and that
homeowners and business
men must begin to gradual
ly adjust their lifestyles to
ones that consume less
energy. Lancaster indicated
that we must build homes
that are more energy effici
ent and transportation that
is more efficient than the
present internal combustion
engine. Two major energy
bills are up for considera-
ion in the state legislature.
.Pue.of .tjie, bills caUs.,.f^r,
fuel rationing. Lancaster
concluded his visit by
answering questions from
the Rotarians and giving
out various brochures on
energy conservation. Ques
tions did not confine them
selves solely to energy. One
Rotarian asked Lancaster
what his position on the
new Vanceboro Elementary
School Board would be.
Lancaster responded that
certain questions must be
answered before he will
support any request for
funds. He indicated that he
would have to be knowled
geable of the Board of
Education’s plans and
would have to know the
fate of existing buildings
making up the Farm Life
School complex. Presently,
th^ Faw Ufe Schoql. plapt
consists of a gymnasium,
an auditorium, the main
building, the “agriculture
building” (presently being
used as a classroom build
ing), and a library (former
ly the Home Economics
building). Lancaster implied
that if these questions and
others were answered to
his satisfaction, he would
support the appropriating
of money for the building of
a new elementary school in
Vanceboro.
The Rotarians welcomed
in addition to Mr. Lancas
ter, Rev. John Blue of
Durham and Mr. Donald
Witherington.
