A: Sorry, but it's just not standard procedure in the South to open up fire hydrants, says Tommy Peddycord, utilities supervisor with the city utilities department. He says Southern systems are basically set up for water and fire use only. In the north, or the larger metropolitan areas, the water supplies usually have a reserve or dual storage system that are housed underground. In the South, and here in Winston-Salem, the water supply is not half as large as New York's, says Peddycord, and the cost of treating water is so tApcnaivc in * * 984 _ -/^SlUS D^ribe^ Youneif^ in om wrd: ^ - - _ ? - r.1 M VWM" I mandments" Persons admires most: Bishop F.D.

"I want to restructure the commission so that it speaks independently again," he said. "It has been converted from what it was for over 30 years, a commission that literally spoke with respect because it was seen as bipartisan and beyond the reach of presidents, and thus could speak independent of the political compulsions of the White House, into an institution that's basically a front for the White House.
