planting be done in such a
manner so as to protect the
adjoining residents from
excessive noise and light.
The commissioners made it
obvious that they too had been
unhSfJpy with conditions at
Silvermont.
Mr. Ives stated that there
would be a meeting Wed
nesday night between the
commissioners and the Parks
and Recreation Board to
discuss planning and
philosophy and he would at
that time request the Parks
and Recreation Board to meet
with the residents of the area.
A petition asking that the
courthouse be left open on
Saturday so that restrooms
would be available was
denied.
The courthouse was closed
on Saturday several years ago
due to vandalism and its use
by some persons to keep warm
while they consumed alcoholic
beverages.
After a brief discussion,
Commissioner Clinton Owen
moved that the petition be
denied due to the fact that the
county would be unable to
maintain the cleanliness since
no employees are available on
Saturday.
Chairman Ives then asked
that an amendment be made
to the parking ordinance
permitting the towing away of
improperly parked cars at the
courthouse.
Several persons in the
audience agreed that this was
a severe problem, par
ticularly on Thursdays when
court is in session.
Many unthinking people
double park or park in the
niiddle of the lot, blocking the
access of many persons, Mr.
Ives said.
County Attorney Bill White
ntade a change in the wording
to eliminate any discretion on
the part of the county
manager in carrying out the
ordinance. After this change,
it was unanimously passed
and becomes effective im
mediately.
The Commissioners said
they generally felt that the
secondary roads procedures
of the last two years have been
satisfactory.
Commissioner John Folger
said he felt that the com
missioners should know well
in advance the proposed plans
for the county.
Chairman Ives replied that
he felt this could be handled
administratively by simply
requesting the information be
sent well in advance of the
annual meeting between the
Commissioners and the road
department.
A resolution praising the
work of Elmer Johnson and
Newton Pickelsimer for their
“dedicated work” as mem
bers of the Water Resources
Board was passed. The county
financial report was studied
by the commissioners and
they were pleased to see that
with the tax collections in
December, the County was
now thoroughly in the black.
In fact, the county has
$1,627,565.86 of surplus funds
invested. These funds will
slowly be withdrawn as
needed to pay the County’s
bills until the first of July.
The following appointments
wre made by the Board of
Commissioners:

PORK SUPPLIES
DECLINING
Supplies of pork are ex
pected to decrease during
1975. Producers have been
losing money on every hog
they sell for the past several
months and many have begun
to reduce their breeding hogs.
Currently, it costs about $38.00
for a hog to gain 100 pounds,
but the market price for hogs
has only been $35.00 per 100
pounds.

Latest in appliances:
the new energy-savers
When the homeowner
decides to improve his
home he will find some
surprising innovations in
appliances. One energy
saving refrigerator/freez
er uses about a third less
electricity than other
models not equipped with
its special thermostatical
ly controlled motor.
While it is true that the
amount of electricity con
sumed by the refrigerator
each operating hour is a
modest amount, it’s also
true that the amount of
electricity consumed 24
hours around the clock for
365 days adds up to a sub
stantial figure.
The higher price tags
on these models are offset
by operating savings over
a long period of time.
Gas ranges equipped
with mini-pilots or hypo
dermic pilots, named after
the very fine hollow hypo
dermic needle, consume
much less gas than older
models. Also, heat from
pilot lights makes the
house that much warmer,
requiring less output from
the central heating sys
tem.
There are dramatic de
velopments in the produc
tion of “high-efflciency”
air conditioning units,
available in capacities
ranging from 5,500 to 27,
000 BTUs (British Thermal
Units). Basically, high
efflciency air conditioning
is a term applied to air
conditioners which pro

capacity.
Cooling is also meas
ured in BTUs. The ratio of
BTUs per watt is called
the Energy Efficiency Ra
tio. Air conditioners which
produce eight or more
BTUs of cooling per watt
are considered to be high
efficiency models. These
units cost less to operate
and help conserve power.

U. S. pork consumption for
1974 has been estimated at 67.5
pounds per person, based on
carcass weight. For 1973, U. S.
pork consumption was 61.6

Mr. Ives said he was ap
palled at the increase in
unemployment in the county/
“I’m delighted these
programs are available to;i
help us out.
“And while we’re helping
the unemployed we can also
get some badly needed jobs
done.”
The Water Resources Board
of the county, headed by Carr
Purser, has been looking for
the financial means to clean
up the French Broad River to f
increase its esthetic value and
its recreation value.
It is clogged in several
places between Brevard and
Rosman with old autos, logs,
and other debris.
“This might give us a
chance to get that stream
fixed up,” Mr. Ives siad.
Aid Plant
With Good
Light Use
Light, not fertilizer, may
be the house plant’s most
limiting factor during the
winter months. The plant
may need a little help to
make the best use of the ,
light that is available.
Henry J. Smith, exten
sion landscape horticul- J
turist at North Carolina ■
State University, suggests ,
keeping plant leaves clean
as one beneficial measure.
The leaves should be gent
ly washed with soapy
water, if necessary. Re
move all dust and grime.
“Not only will the leaves
look better, but they will
be better able to manufac- ’
ture food,” Smith said. J
