New Emergency Telephone Number Goes Into Effect For Warren Co. By KAY HORNER Newa Editor A new telephone number for emergency assistance is now in ef fect in Warren County and will be manned 24-hours a day by dis patchers in the Warren County Sheriffs Office. The number, 257-3456, was formerly the num ber called to report fires, but can now be used to report any type of emergency, including calls for the county Am bulance Service, Sher iffs Department as well as volunteer fire depart ments, according to Warren County Sheriff Theodore R. Williams. The emergency line will be answered by dispatchers who will also operate the county's Police Information Net work (PIN), formerly housed in the Warrenton Police Department. The PIN equipment, which was recently relocated from the War renton Police Depart ment and updated, puts local law enforcement of ficers In touch with a na tionwide police informa tion system. Among the informa tion accessible through PIN are Division of Motor Vehicle records, inventories of stolen pro perty, accounts of outstanding warrants, and criminal records. Williams said location of the PIN system at the Sheriff's Department and hiring of additional PIN operators would in crease efficient use of the system. The state requires that a certified PIN operator be on hand whenever PIN is in operation, and Warren County's system will be manned around the clock from among five certified operators. Sheriff Williams added that telephone numbers for the Warrenton Police Department and Am bulance Service are still in effect, in addition to the central emergency number. After hours, those calls will be automatically for warded to the dispatcher in the Sheriffs Depart ment for response. PIN also has a new electronic monitoring system for all area banks, with a capacity for up to 24 alarms. Seventy-five percent of the cost of PIN is paid by the county and 25 percent by the Town of War renton. Palmer Gets Honors In AF SSgt Robert C.

(Staff Pbate kjr Kay Heraer) Warren Health Plan To Expand Its Hours Business Is Routine For Board Warren County com missioners, whose regular monthly meeting usually lasts into the afternoon, dispensed with a short agenda Mon day in less than two hours. The board again heard a request from proper tyowners on U.S. 158 Bypass near Warren County High School for assistance in tapping on to the Regional Water System by a line going to the school. Local businessman Roy Neal, accompanied to the meeting by Ben Layton of Rocky Mount who owns a mobile home sales lot on the bypass, suggested that the board meet with Warrenton Water Superintendent Bill Neal to "get the facts" on the availabili ty of the water. Propertyowners in the area who are interested in commercial and residential development have been unsuccessful in their efforts to get per mission from the school board to tap onto the six inch water line running from the intersection of the bypass and U.S 158/401 Business. The school board denied the proper tyowners' request after consultation with the engineer who designed the school's water system. Possible loss of water pressure and con cern over the school system's potential need for additional water at the bypass site were reasons given. Eva M. Clayton, chairperson of the com missioners, again pledg ed the board's help in resolving the matter. "We want to do something and we need to find a way to do it," Mrs. Clayton said. "Part of the problem is owner ship of the line, but where there is sufficient goodwill among in dividuals, you can find a way to do it." County Manager Charles Worth also reported that renova tions at Warren General Hospital, funded by a federal grant, were 96-97 percent complete. The hospital has been closed to In-patient care since February, and Mrs. Clayton said the board hoped to be able to consider a proposal from the local Bute Develop ment Corporation for lease of the facility and its operation as a privately-run hospital by the Nov. 4 meeting. The board also approv ed 57 of 112 corrections in tax listings and one re fund as rscommsnded by County Tax Supervisor Janice Haynes. The re be approved at the Nov. 4i JOHN HALL ?\767-\B33?

Effective Oct. 15 The Vnni e-Warren Compi ?-r.?snsive Health Plan is expanding the hours of its Warren Health Plan, effective Oct. 15, according to Phillip Williams, ex ecutive director of the plan. "Most of the concerns I heard expressed by citizens in attendance at public hearings on War ren General Hospital revolved around the question, who will be there to take care of me in the event I or someone in my family has a sud den illness or accident," Williams said this week. "The expansion of hours will not replace hospital services, but will enable consumers to more read ily obtain medical care." The Warren Health Plan was opened in the hospital facility earlier this year to provide im mediate and urgent care after the financially ail ing hospital closed for renovations and revamp ing of its mode of opera tion. The new schedule pro vides 64 hours of health care coverage at Warren Health Plan from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. According to Williams, statistics collected by the N.C. Office of Rural Health indicate that Warren General Hos pital's emergency room, when in operation, was not utilized as often on Friday evenings. The Saturday clinic was established for a full day, Williams said, in order that those who need to see a physician, but can't afford to take off from work, can visit Warren Health Plan. A physician will con tinue to be on con sultative call during the hours the Warren Health Plan, as well as HealthCo, the Soul City branch of Vance-Warren Comprehensive Health Plan, are not open, Williams said. HealthCo will continue with its current schedule of operation from 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 11 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
