13-THS CAROLINA TIMES SAT.. MAY 15. 1976 - ' IN AND AROUND ROCKY MOUNT By R. D. Armstrong The big news in Rocky Mount last week was the Sewer Bond Referendum involving the issuance of bonds in the amount of $5,000,000 for the construction of a new ewage treatment facility and interceptor sewer lines to ervc the city for years to come. Although the issue passed by a large margin, it was indicative that the apathy of the citizens resulted in a small turrioutat the polling places throughout the city. There 'jjre. 16,895 registered voters in the nine poll ing 'places i-'jhWi' Of that number, 2,185 or approximately ten pcir cent, look time out to cast their votes on a pro posal that had such a profound effect on the city's growtl' and welfare. In" 'precinct 12-4 (Parker School) where the present sewage plant located and the unpleasant odors emanate, there, arc 2,085 registered voters. Only 352 found time to go ta.the polling place at Parker School to cast their ballots and two of them voted against the issue. The response at 12-4 was the second largest in the city. Rocky Mount No. 2 (Senior High School) had t he largest turnout 'with 405. Thirty swen of that number said NO. Rocky Mount 12-1 (Fire Department Headquarters of George Street) which also has a large black registration, had 338 to cast their tvotes and forty-four of them said NO. The total vote'; 'hbwever, gave the affirmative vote a sizable margin. 2185 FOR and 206 AGAINST or 12.0 per cent out of a possible 16.895 registration. It was enough to give City Officials (Mayor and City Council) a clear mandate to move forward with the proposed project. A Rehabilitation Grant has been made to the City of Rocky Mount for single-family homeowners in the Little Raleigh area. The program, which is already in progress in the Hillsdale neighborhood, will be under the direction of the City's Community Development program for rehabili tation of substandard houses in the community.

H. Kinney I LOOKED AND I SAW By Rev. C. R. Stone :Tri"i iimi im" if ' "HOPE WITHOUT COURAGE IS VAIN" It is a good idea for all of the children of men to anticipate a better tomomw. None of us has been able to lay hold on tomorrow because it is primarily a figure of speech used to revive our hope. The children of men would do well if they acquired a constructive kind of zeal to improve the matters before them today. In other words, the idea of our seeing tomorrow is a vain hope within our minds. All of the brothers and sisters who arc deceased were looking forward for a tomorrow which did not appear. Although tomorrow cannot become a reality, it must need be within the mind, heart and soul of every man, if he is going to make a contribution to the world around him and to our God who makes all things possible. All things shall remain possible with the help of God if men play their varying roles with a zeal of courage. For instance, courage on our part pushes the hopes of men in the direction where sound achievements can be realities. Courage causes the children to launch out in varying fields of labor and we are able to exchange our products wherein all brethren are benefited. If men claim to lay hold on the real hope of tomorrow without courage, their hope is vain. Courage hope' if it is constructive in nature within the doings of men. If our hope is constructive, we can only know by observing the fruits from our labor.
