So many of our people stay cold all the time, • which goes along with aging, that the sunshine has been a blessing for .them. } I have missed writing *the article for the last two | week, have just been very ' busy and didn't have time to get it done. So many people have asked why they didn't see it in the paper that we will make a concerted effort to get one done each week. We appreciate so many people telling us how much they appreciate our article, and how much they enjoy reading it. We very much enjoy writing it and try to get it done on Sunday morning when we aren't so busy. We have a lot going on here on Sundays, with Mr and Mrs. Clyde Smith holding church services and Mr. James Edmonds teaching Sunday school. Then on Sunday afternoon the Church of God from Henderson comes and holds a song service at 2 p. m. So you can see that our day is filled up. Sunday is also the day that we have the most company so the building is full of people and very busy on Sunday. We have several people having birthdays this month who I am sure would appreciate a card from any of you. Mrs. Gladys Dickens, 6th, James Fuller, 24th, Derah McGill, 4th, Addie Rowe, 19th, Anna Richardson, 15th, Marvin Rook, 6th, Pinkie Shearin, 30th, Ammie Woodard, 30th, Edgar Bullock, 21st, and Dan Kornegay, 12th. 1 The Senior Citizens Band from Norlina came over this past week and presented a musical program for our people. The residents always look forward to this group coming and enjoy them very much. Thanks a lot folks and come again soon. Mrs. Almond and Mr. Shearin, who have been teaching our activity das* es, will be moving to the Lions Den in Warreaton to hold their claaaes the 15th of this month. These two people have meant so very much to our people here that we really hate to see them go. The move is being made due to some cut backs in Mental Health services. Our people will be going over there to still participate in the classes but we will miss seeing them each week. The residents along with the staff have learned to love them but we know they will continue to still do the fine job there that they were doing here.

(Community Schools Photo) Public Hearing Set On Nursing Homes A public meeting win be held in the auditorium of the John Graham High School in Warrenton on Tuesday, June 23, at 7.30 p. m. Purpose of the meeting is to give Warren County residents an opportunity to meet and hear three applicants discuss their proposals to the N. C. Division of Facility Services (DFS) to construct a nursing home in Warren County. The meeting will be conducted by the Capital Health Systems Agency (CHSA) located in Durham. CHS A is the health planning agency for Warren and ten other counties and is the agency which must review all applications at the local level and make recommendations to the state regarding approval of the most appropriate application. Warren County is the only county in the elevencounty planning area that does not have a nursing home. Interested citizens in Warren County, with assistance from the CHSA, petitioned the N. C. Division of Facility Services to allocate 100 additional nursing home beds to the North Carolina State Medical Facilities Plan (SMFP) for Warren County. With Governor Hunt's approval, the beds were allocated. The State, however, in adding the 100 additional beds to the SMFP, allocated the beds to Health Service Area IV (the eleven-county planning area). Henry Pleasant, long term care coordinator for CHSA, explained that this means that any an** all applications to add 100 new beds in the eleven-county area must be reviewed competitively. In this case four applications will be considered and reviewed competitively. One applicant, Pleasant said, is seeking approval to construct a new 100-bed nursing home in Wake County and three applicants are seeking approval to construct a new 100-bed nursing home in Warren County. Pleasant said CHSA will have the responsibility to review each of these four applications in accordance with approved review procedures and criteria (based on consistency, need, cost containment, personnel availability, financial feasibility, accountability and coordination) to determine which proposal should be recommended to DFS for approval. CHSA, he said, may approve one application and disapprove the other three, or may approve more than one application and rank order them according to the degree to which they meet the review criteria. A similar public meeting will be held in Wake County, -Pleasant said. Warren and Wake County citizens are encouraged to attend one or both of these meetings to hear the applicants present their proposals. The four applicants expected to make presentations are: 1. Pine Haven Convalescent Center of Warrenton, Inc., Louise B. Parham and Associates, Henderson. 2. Raleigh Community Nursing Center, Inc., Paul Karseras-Clyde Parker, T-A Raleigh Medical Investors, Virginia Beach, Va.-High Point. 3. Warren Nursing Center, N. L. Williams, Norlina. 4. Warrenton Nursing Center, Inc., Haan, Inc., Construction; James A. Hayes, Winston-Salem, Triad Medical Services, Lessee-Operator, Nolan Brown, Yadkinville. The Wake County public meeting will be held in the Jaycee Module at the Convention Center on Oberlin Road near the Wade Avenue intersection on Thursday, June 25, at 7:30 p. m. Pegram Named Chairman Vance County Commissioner Tim Pegram was elected chairman of the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Government at a May 25 meeting at the Middleburg Steakhouse. Pegram will succeed Warren County Commissioner W. J. "Jack" Harris at the June 25 meeting. Jack Carey, Granville Co. commissioner, was named vice chairman, succeeding 0. E. Perkinson of Kittrell. James Allen of Roxboro will replace Carey as treasurer of the COG. The slate of officers was recommended by a nominating committee composed of James Weathers 'of Franklin County, Hugh Currin from Oxford and B. G. White of Warrenton. Weathers chaired the committee. The COG generally selects officers on a rotating basis among the five participating counties. The annual meeting of the COG will be held at the Lions Den in Warrenton on June 25. Richard Conder, Richmond County commissioner and new president of the National Association of Counties (NACo), will be guest speaker. Inez, Hawtree Certified By County Board Two Warren County Rural Volunteer Fire Departments, Inez and Hawtree (Wise) were certified for the first time as members of the Warren County Fire District by the Board of County Commissioners at its meeting here Monday morning. A third company, Areola, received its annual certification. The purpose of the certifications was to entitle fire company members to share in the benefits of the North Carolina Firemen's Pension Fund Act. All the commissioners were present at the meeting which was convened by Chairman Jack Harris at 9:30 in the petit jury room of the court house, due to a term of Superior Court being held in the court room. Prayer was offered by David Tucker, a ministerial student assisting the Rev. Charles Owens, Methodist minister, here this summer. He visited the commissioners for quite a while on Monday morning.

Tribal Primitive art is the art of tribal peoples who do not read or write. The High Cost Ot Driving (Continuedfrom page 2) the car remains parked in the garage. The fixed and variable costs added together provide the total annual cost of owning and operating the vehicle. A motorist driving 15,000 miles per year would pay $1,226 in variable costs and $2,375 in fixed costs, according to the association. The pamphlet on driving costs also includes a suggested auto vacation budget. Two persons should plan on spending $44 a day for meals, to including cocktails or tips; $44 a day for lodging; and $7.50 for gasoline and oil, etc., for every 100 miles of travel with the car averaging 20 miles per gallon. But those vacation budget figures can vary considerably, it was pointed out In small towns or rural locations, lodging and meal costs might be 25 percent lower, while in large metropolitan areas they could be as much as 75 percent higher. With summer vacations for most people and the peak travel season now at hand, the figures provide a handy reference point for starting plans. Certainly it is plain to see that whatever one plans to do and wherever one may go, it will be necessary to be well-heeled with cash or credit cards if travel is involved.
