That's the word from County Commissioner Eimo Blackley, who stated that a number of motorists, including himsetf, have destroyed tires while driving over the roads with the sharp-cut stones. Almost a year ago, Blackley com plained to State Highway authori ties about the quality and type of stone being used in stabilization work in Granville. During a trip to Oxford a week ago, Mr. Blackley had three tires damaged or destroyed by the stones, he said Monday. None of the tires, he said, were brand new; but on the other hand, they were not worn out and were good for many miles of use under normal condi tions. Some users have complained that the new three-ply tires are not holding up. but Mr, Blackley said he doesn't believe any tire would hold up when used on roads treat ed with the rough stones being used at this time by the Highway De partment.

Blackley said he understood that the stone is being brought into the county from a quarry in Person County. Acknowledging that he is not an expert on such matters, Mr. Black ley. said he is positive that the stohe being used is a hazard for motorists and their equipment. He said he intends to push for relief in the matter.

' Metro Area Phone Service Proposed For Large Area Creedmoor and Environs Would Have Direct Dialing * with Durham Raleigh A metropolitan area telephone service is being studied for the Durham-Chape! Hill-Raleigh area as a joint venture by six telephone companies. Included would be Creedmoor and the areas of Granville County serv ed by General Telephone Company of Durham. They are Butner, Wil ton, Stem and Northside. If the details are worked out and the program wins approval of tele phone subscribers, Angier, Apex, Cary, Clayton, Chapel Hill, Dur ham, Efland, Fuquay, Hillsborough, Knightdale, Pittsboro, Raleigh, Wake Forest, Wendell and Zebulon would be included. A year or so ago, an attempt was made to bring Creedmoor and Its service area into a metropolitan are with Carolina Telephone, thus link ing Oxford and all areas of the county into direct dialing without toli charges. It was determined at that time that to bring Creedmoor and Its service area into such a program, Durham and areas served by the same company would of necessity have to be included, thus putting the charge out of reach of many patrons of the Durham company. More recently, Carolina Tele phone Company put out a feeler as to whether patrons in the Ox ford area would be interested in paying higher rates for direct dial ing into the Henderson exchange So far as has been revealed, little interest in the plan was manifested at the local level. Involved in the Durham-Raleigh Chapel Hill area proposal for a metropolitan program are United, General, Central, Carolina, Chap el Hill and Southern Bell. The (t^qghane service andat study would enable any telephone user in the Triangle area to dial directly any of the nearly 18SJM0 telephones in the area without go ing through a long-distance opera tor and without paying toll charge. The basic rate to be charged for the service cannot be determined until the studies are completed, and then, before adoption, the rates would require approval of the N. C. Utilities Commission.
