CONWAY — “Although we
have had problems in making
sure our water effluent meets
the standards of one part
phenol to one billion parts
water, as set by the
Department of Natural
Resources, we now believe we
are meeting the standards.
The cost of doing so has run
into thousands of dollars,”
said Frank G. Bock, plant
manager of the Georgia-
Pacific Conway Resin Plant,
in an interview with your
Home Newspaper Wednesday.
Bock stated his plant makes
over two dozen resin products
and the output runs‘to about
six million pounds of phenolic
resins each month. About 10
per cent of the production is
used by the Georgia-Pacific
Hardboard Plant, which is
adjacent to the resin plant.
The remainder is used in
four other Georgia-Pacific
plants, as well as

JACKSON — If you ask a
group of classroom teachers
what they would like to see
happen to their schools,
chances are most of them
would say they would like to
receive assistance in their
classroom activities.
Parents of Eastside
Elementary School, near
Jackson, are giving this
assistance to the teachers and
they are doing it without any
financial remuneration. Their
only reward is the gratitude
they receive from the children
and teachers.
Principal Chester Hawkins
explained to the parents two
months ago at a
Parents Teachers Association
meeting that realignment of
some programs had made it
difficult to carry on library
and other non-teaching
activities. Parents
immediately asked to be

Company policy, according

many who enjoy outdoor
activities and they want a
clean environment, too.

MURFREESBORO — A
four-county rural
transportation system should
be in full operation within 90
days, reports Jim Barnett,
associate director of the
Choanoke Area Development
Association.
The transportation system
is already being utilized by the
Evaluation Center of Halifax
Technical Institute to
transport clients to and from
the center in Weldon to and
from their rural homes.
The transportation system,
the first of its kind in this area
of the country, will operate
under a separate corporation
from CADA. The corporation
has not yet been chartered,
but its formation is expected
in the near future.
