Board Has Meeting (Continued from page 1) was chosen to replace L. B. Henderson whose term expired and who asked not to be reappointed. John Hawkins also serves on the Zoning Board. Stephen and Margie Daniel of Norlina Road appeared before the board to request settlement of a problem with service by the regional sewer system. The Daniels asked for and received a hook-up to the system in 1983 because of problems with their private system. They pointed out that they had incurred expenses close to $3,000 for purchase and installation of the sewer pump and that service had been less than satisfactory. Commissioners requested Bill Neal, water and sewer superintendent, to contact a representative of the pump's manufacturer to assess and correct the problem. Statements from the town for sewer service during the time the pump was not operating correctly were forgiven by the board. Police Commissioner A. A. Wood noted that a vacancy had been created within his department withthe resignation of Officer Mack McCowan.

Quick City Hopes For Grant Dashed Hopes that grant funding might be available for rehabilitation of homes in the Quick City community north of Warrenton were dashed last week with the announcement that Warren County's application for a Community Development Block Grant had been denied. The grants are funded by the N.C. Department of Natural Resources and Community Development (NRCD). Applications from 12 counties and 47 cities and municipalities, including Norlina, were approved for a total expenditure of $34.5 million. But Warren County's application for $750,000 for removal of blighted structures, upgrading of water lines, installation of sewer lines, and renovation of approximately 25 houses in Quick City was not among them. "Naturally, we're disappointed," County Manager Charles J. Worth said Thursday. "We thought we had a good application and we had the need, but competition was keen." This year's application was the second on behalf of Quick City. The first was made in 1984, but the county's receipt of a $750,000 grant in connection with Owens-Illinois' location of a plant here precluded the county applying for another NRCD grant in the same fisral year. Norlina requested $750,000 and was granted $533,845. The funds will be used for revitalization of the Washington Street area. Care Center (Continued from page 1) commissioners, the Immediate Care Center "has operated during afternoon and nighttime hours when doctor offices are closed. Effective Monday, the following schedule for the Warren Health Plan will be in effect: Monday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Tuesday, 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Thursday, 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Friday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The facility will be closed on Sunday. "Although The Warren Health Plan will function at different hours than the Immediate Care Center did, a physician wil be available for consultations 24 hours a day," Williams said. '"Die physicians are expected to provide emergency care at Warren General Hospital when it is opened." The Warren Health Plan will operate the Saturday clinic with a six-doctor rotation schedule, using the physicians from The Warren Health Plan and HealthCo. During the hours neither site is open, a physician may be reached by calling 456-2181, 257-3141, or 492-7768. In commenting on the closing of the Immediate Care Center and start-up of the Warren Health Plan, Eva M. Clayton, chairperson of the county commmissioners, said yesterday, "We have accepted their willingness to work with us and their willingness to stay there (at the hospital) until a permanent arrangement can be made." ' A public hearing on that proposal has been scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 28, at 7 p.m. at Warren County Courthouse and the proposal should be on (He in the office of the county manager by Aug. II. Developers Of Proposed Business Must Await Meeting Of Engineers Developers of a convenience store proposed to be built near Warren County High School will have to await a meeting with engineers before learning whether they will be able to tap onto a water line which serves the school. Roy Neal and Milton Ayscue, the developers, appeared Monday night before the August meeting of the Warren County Board of Education to determine if they coud tap on to the regional system. Prior to their request, Supt. Mike Williams told board members that he had discussed the matter of tap-ons with Walter Smith, senior partner of SmithWollager and Associates of Durham, the firm that designed and supervised the installation of the water system to serve the high school. Williams said he had been told that the system was designed and sized to serve only the high school, and that it was possible to overload the system. Neal, who said he was speaking for developers as well as for nearby property owners Bud Endecott and Mrs. Sarah Kearny Watkins, said permission was being sought to tap onto the regional water line not at the school, but at a fire hydrant across U. S. 158 bypass from the school. Neal said that he had been in touch with Warrenton Water Supt. Bill Neal and had been given figures on the availability of water at the hydrant. He said he was informed that there were 864,000 gallons of water available there per day, and that the consumption at the high school was about 5,245 gallons daily. Board members discussed the question of who owned the line, and instructed board attorney A1 Thompson to persue that answer, and asked that engineers meet to determine what the capacity of the system serving the school is. Board Chairman Henry Pitchford appointed himself and board member Leigh Traylor to represent the school system at such a meeting. Developer Neal said his group would be happy to attend any such meeting. In a separate matter, board members Mrs. Cora Watson and Richard Roddy, appointed last month to study reasons why teachers with considerable longevity in the Warren school system have recently left the system, made their report to the board. Among areas of concern they reported hearing from the former teachers were the small size of the local system, the trimester program in use at Warren County High School, and the matter of teacher morale. Among suggestions made by the two board members was a thorough examination of the trimester program since the committee felt "that it occurs often enough as a reason for discontent that it bears examination." The two board members, who interviewed a dozen teachers who have left the system, said better communications need to be established and suggested the formation of a Teacher Council to hear grievances not now being addressed. Finally, the committee said, some avenue needs to be found "to engender greater parent involvement at the secondary level." Board members expressed their appreci ation to the two for the report, and it was suggested that a complete survey of teachers and students now in the system might be conducted. Lunch Prices (Continued from page 1) in the price of lunches sold at a reduced price of 40 cents to qualifying pupils. The largest increase in lunch prices will come for students in grades kindergarten through grade six, who normally pay full price for their meals. Lunch for them during the 198586 school year will be 75 cents, up from 60 cents last year. Students in grades 7-12 who normally pay full price for meals will find their lunches costing 85 cents this year as opposed to 75 cents last year. Adults eating in school cafeterias will pay a nickle more for their lunches, priced at $1.30 for the new year. During the past four years, prices of adult meals had only increased ten cents, board members were told.
