THE CHOWAN HERALD
Light Construction At C.O.A
At high noon, on October
16, a dozen former College of
The Albemarle students
may lose a friend. For them,
it was the kind of friendship
that started from scratch,
and as one recalled, “sort of
grew from the ground up.”
Although the friendship
lasted only a year, most
admitted they had learned a
great deal from the
relationship.
The students were
enrolled in the Light Con
struction program at COA.
Their “friend” is the three -
bedroom home they built on
- campus as a class project.
On Saturday, October 16,
it will be offered for sale at
public auction by the
college. The 960 - square foot
structure was built so it can
be removed easily from its
present site.
It is described as “semi -
finished,” a term which
may be somewhat
misleading. Not much
remains to be done to bring
it to the “finished” state.
The house is complete in
the respect that wall and
ceiling insulation is in
place; custom - built
cabinests are in the kitchen;
electrical wiring and rotigh
{dumbing have been in
stalled; doors are hung; aijd
inside trim is up.
What remains to be done
is nominal. It will require
interior painting and
finishing the pine floors. A
fiberglass tub and shower
are in place in the
bathroom. The buyer will
have to install the lavatory
and commode that are in
cluded, but not in place.
How much is the building
worth? The answer to that
question lies in the “willing
buyer, willing seller” rule of
thumb realtors use as one
method to establish true
market value.
Dennis Burgess, COA
occupational education
director, estimates that the
market value of the
structure in its current state
of completion is somewhere
in the neighborhood of
$26,000 to $28,000. “Present
material and labor costs
would indicate a selling
price in that range,” he
said.
College officials do not
anticipate making a profit
from the sale, Dr. Gerald W.
Bray, dean of ad
ministrative services, said.
“We do want to regain the
cost, of the materials we
have invested in the
building, however,” he said.
Bray explained that the
proceeds from the sale will
be used to perpetuate the
training project. “By doing
this, the new class of Light
Construction students will
have an opportunity to learn
by doing,” the ad
ministrator said.
Prior to the October 16
sale date, prospective
bidders are encouraged to
inspect the house any time
between 9 A M. until 4 P.M.
each week day. Burgess
said they can contact him by
calling 335 - 0821, Extension
232.
The porcupine fish is cov
ered with protective spines.
For added protection it fills
itself with water so that it
resembles a prickly balloon.

Social Security Report
Lee E. Wallio
Field Representative
The Social Security Ad
ministration (SSA) has
announced plans for
upgrading its computer
operations.
The agency’s computer
capability impacts on
almost everyone in the
Albemarle area.
SSA’s automatic date
processing operation
maintains records on 240
million workers, 36 million
Social Security
beneficiaries, and 4.1
million Supplemental
Security Income recipients.
Each year it processes
about 380 million wage
reports from employers and
19 million transactions for
persons already on the
Social Security rolls.
The computer network
handles 7.5 million new
applications for benefits and
10 million requests for
Social Security cards each
year.
A modernized system will

not only increase produc
tivity but also reduce the
number of erraneous
payments and other actions.
In the past, efforts to
improve the agency’s date
processing system have
emphasized the purchase of
more computers and the
employment of more people.
One result has been a
patch - work affair that is
now being strained to the
limit.
Once computer moder
nization is complete, SSA
will be able to keep in
dividual earnings records
more current.
One example illustrates
the potential benefits of the
modernization plan:
Implementing the annual
cost -of - living adjustment
now requires 20,000 hours of
processing over a 4 - month
period; once the upgraded
system is in place, the job
should be completed in a
matter of days.
