The board's unanimous decision was made in a meeting last week, and the management agreement with CHHS is expected to be signed this week. "We think we've made the right choice for Warren General," said Robertson, in announcing the decision. "We think we're getting the kind of management we need, but the board will still maintain its authority and leadership in hospital affairs," Robertson said. Interim administration will be provide*.' by the CHHS staff, and recruitment for a full-time permanent administrator will begin immediately," said John T. Carlisle, CHHS area vice president who will have management responsibility for Warren General. The CHHS candidate for administrator will be presented to the board for approval. CHHS services will include full-time administration, and financial services. Other back-up support will also be provided in areas that include clinical engineering, physician recruitment, management engineering, health care development, nurse consultation and public relations. CHHS also will provide regional administrative and financial management to the hospital. Because CHHS is a not-for-profit management system, local direction of Warren General will be retained through the Board of Trustees. CHHS has provided services to hospitals in the Southeast, the uxrolinas, and elsewhere since 1969 and through the interest of the North and South Carolina Hospital Associations and The Duke Endowment provided grant funds for development of some services. Granville Hospital in Oxford is also managed by CHHS. Merger Is Planned By Savings Firms The Boards of Directors of Warrenton Savings and Loan Association, Warrenton, N.

Mayor Beverly White presided over the meeting, called following the fourth publication in the town newspaper of the commissioners intent to annex, as was required by law. The visitors were divided into three men sitting on one side of the room and three women sitting on the other. The men were George Koonce, McCarroll Alston, and John Hawkins; the women were Mrs. Candis Miller and her mother, Mrs. Ruth Williams and Mrs. Ada Johnson. All members of the group, with the exception of Mrs. Williams, spoke. Commissioners present were Eddie Clayton, Billy Lanier, A. C. Fair, C. M. White, III, Richard Hunter and A. A. Wood. Absent was Commissioner Gordon Haithcock, due to illness. Also present were Leonard Holden, Department of National Resources and Community Development, who has been assisting the commissioners in planning for the annexation, and Bignall Jones, representing The Warren Record. Mayor White called the meeting to order at 7:30 p. m., distributed maps of each of the two sections to be annexed, and reviewed the history of the commissioners efforts to enlarge the town, and told why these two sections were chosen for annexation. He told the group that infor mation had been mailed to all the persons who would be affected by the proposed annexation. Mayor White said that because of lack of funds at this them, it was not feasible to take in all sections adjacent to the town, particularly those sections where industry is located. He said because less utilities would have to be installed, it was cheaper to meet the requirements of annexation, but less revenue would be received by the town. Because the population of Warrenton has fallen below the 1,000 mark, and state and federal governments sharing are based on population, Warrenton's present need is more people. Annexation of the two adjacent properties under consideration would bring (Continued on page 16) Women's Clubs. Entertainment was by the Burlington Boys Choir.

Whitley, CETA Coordinator, reported to the Board of County Commissioners on Monday morning. He said a contact amendment was received on April 28 which increased the amount of funds available for the Warren program by $13,877. Formal notification was received indicating that June 30, 1981, would be the last day of work for all participating enrolled on the program. Funds will be available for staff costs through July 31, 1981, in order that all record keeping can be finalized. Commenting on the directive, Whitley said: "The CETA Staff is presently organizing two intensive workshops for the participants that will emphasize the formulation of job acquisition skills and career planning. It is hoped that these efforts, along with follow-up sessions after June 30, will enable many participants to obtain unsubsidized employment." Elaborating on Whitley's report, County Manager Newsome said that any Effective June 30 CETA Program Will End Locally hope that the program will not be terminated is very dim. Enrolled in the program now are 42 participants. How widespread has been their use in the county is revealed in his listing of places of employment, as follows: Three will be terminated from Social Services; one from Health Department; four from Gaston Enterprises; three from the Indian Commission; two from Land Fill; one from PRA; one from Courthouse; one from office of Register of Deeds; one from Town of Norlina; one from Town of Warrenton; two from Maria m Boyd School; three from Hawkins School; one from South Warren School; four from North Warren School; one from Northside School; one from John Graham School; one from Vaughan School; three used by County in Senior Citizens Service; five on CETA Staff; one from Tax Supervisor's Office; one from Hospital.

After Long Tenure Mrs. Bertha Forte To Retire July 1 Mrs. Bertha Forte, Home Agent for the Warren County Extension Service, on Monday morning submitted her resignation as Home Agent to the Warren County Board of Commissioners, effective on July 1. She has served with the North Carolina Extension Service in Warren County for 18 years. Mrs. Forte appeared before the commissioners and was presented by L. C. Cooper, Extension Chairman. She said that she had served enough years and had accumulated enough tenure to retire at the end of June. She said that she would continue to live in Warren County and hoped that she would be able to continue to aid the women of Warren County in some of their programs on a voluntary basis. Mrs. Forte told the commissioners that she had thoroughly enjoyed her work here in Warren County and deeply appreciated the cooperation that she had received from the Board of Commissioners and the people of Warren County. "I have tried," she said, "to help the people of Warren County, and while I have not always succeeded to the extent that I would have wished, I do feel that my efforts have met with some success." Members of the Board of Commissioners, led by Chairman Jack Harris, and joined by County Man ager Glenn Newsome, expressed their regret that Mrs. Forte is retiring and thanked her for the splendid service she has rendered Warren County during the many years she has served as a member of the Extension Service. The commissioners unanimously agreed to pass a resolution of appreciation for the services of Mrs. Forte. This resolution will be drawn up and submitted to Mrs. Forte at the July 7 meeting of the board. Although she will no longer on the July date be a county employee, she promised Chairman Jack Harris that she would be present at the regular July meeting of the commissioners, and thanked them for their kindness. Sewer Rates To Rise, Norlina Board Hears Sewage disposal service for the Town of Norlina is expected to rise dramatically before year's end, and with it the sewer charges made to local customers. This was revealed Monday night during a meeting of town engineers and city fathers. Mayor Pro-Tem Jimmy Overby presided in the absence of Mayor Bill Perry. Overby and other commissioners heard L. E. Wooten and Co. engineers describe the higher operating cost of the town's sewer system once the new regional sewage treatment plant near Warren ton is completed. Engineers expect that plant to be completed by November or December. At that time, engineers warned, Norlina must be prepared to significantly increase the sewer rates for town users. That is because of a projected increase of $80,000 in the annual cost of treating municipal sewage. Council members were i told that they need to get forced mains and pumping stations ready for the hookup with the regional system. This is expected to cost $230,000, with the town's share being only $28,000. The bulk of the money will come from federal and state sources. Contract applications for the grants must be made by June 30, town engineers reported. Jack Hawks and Henderson developer John Hoyle Davis were on hand to meet with commissioners concerning Hawks's plan to sell eight building lots near the car wash which he operates near the outskirts of the Town of Norlina Developer Davis said the lots would contain eight residences, each contain ing fromMO to 1,000 apare feet and ranging in cost from $33,000 to $94,000. The appearance of Hawks and Davis at the board meeting was prompted by the men's need to know if sewer service wffl be available in
