lO.OOOth home, a new Riverknoll design, was

a [retail sales center headquartered in
Rockingham, N.C.
"We take great pride in both our
production record and in the new 14-foot
wide Riverknoll model which we began
manufacturing this past winter. Representing
a 'high dollar value, this model has been
enthusiastically received by both dealers and
home buyers alike." continued E^ge.
Available to retail dealers throughout the
mid-Atlantic states, the Riverknoll line
includes six different floor plans. These
models range from a 48-foot-long, two-bed
room/one bath design to a 76-fooHong home
with three bedrooms and two full baths as
well as such pluses as a larger living room
and additional storage space.
"Fleetwood, is designing this 14-foot-wide
Riverknoll series, has pioneered a remarkable
low-end home for young couples and
budget-conscious buyers," stated Tom Far
mer, president of National Housing Sales,
Inc., which obtained this very special
10,000th home from Alan Welty, a Fleetwood
District Sales Manager at Pembroke.

The N.C. Department of Human Resources’ Solid and
Hazardous Waste Management Branch will hold a public
hearing on June 2nd, 1987 at 7 p.m. in Pembroke, NC at the
PSU Performing Arts Center. The hearing concerns the
issuance of a final RCRA permit to GSX Services, Inc. GSX
plans to operate what may eventually be the largest hazardous
waste treatment facility in the country upon the Lumber River
after recieving all necessary environmental permits.
This hearing represents the final chances for Robeson
County residents to present oral comments concerning the
GSX RCRA draft permit. Oral presentations will be limited to
five minutes. Requests to speak can be submitted in writing to
the following person and address: Mr. William L Meyer,
Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Branch, P.0,: Box
2091, Raleigh, NC 27602.
Presentations will be scheduled in the o^er received. Any
person who wishes to speak but did not submit a prior request,
may sign up at the hearing. Other written comments
regarding the GSX RCRA draft permit must be received by the
Branch no later than August 18, 1987.
In order to raise funds for the GSX struggle, Robeson
County Clergy and Laity Concerned is sponsoring an all day
barbecue plate sale. Rates will be $3.00 and beverages will
be sold for fifty cents. The sale will be in the front yard of the
Odum Home, across from the Reforming Arts Center, before
the hearing.
From 4-7 p.m., other scheduled activities include a forum on
the health effects of the GSX proposal at 4:30 p.m. in the
auditorium of classroom building North on the PSU campus. In
addition to the forum, a pow wow with traditional Native
American singing and dancing is planned during the plate
sale.
Since all public comments and reaction will be considered in
the formulation of a final decision regarding the GSX RCRA
permit, community participation in these events is warranted
and greatly needed.
As of May 18th, approximately 60 people had signed up for
oral comment opportunities which will insure an extension of
the hearing into Wednesday night, June 3rd.
The destiny of all Robeson County residents as well as the
Lumber River depends on public response within the
permitting process. Mac Legerton of the Robeson County
Clergy and luity Concerned, commented, "We must show
GSX and State officials our united determination to woik one
day longer to halt the environmental invasion of our county
and river. I urge all interested citizens to attend.”
