Garbage Disposal
To Be Regulated
The Davie County Board
of Commissioners adopted an
ordinance at their meeting
Monday to regulate the col
lection and disposal cf gar
bage and trash throughout the
county,
H. R. Hendrix, Jr.,' Chair
man of the board of commis
sioners, seid that quite a prob
lem had developed throughout
the county because of indis
criminate disposal of garbage
and in many instances health
hazards were ireated.
The new ordinance will reg
ulate the collection and dis
posal of garbage and trash
in the county outside the in
corporated municipalities and
provides for private contract
collectors to be licensed upon
application by the issuing of
permits by the board of com
missioners. The permits shall
be renewed annually, effective
on the first day of July of
each year. Evidence of the
permit and the permit num
ber is required to be dis
played on each vehicle used
by licensed collectors in the
collection and disposal of gar
bage.
The licensed collectors will
operate in definite designated
areas.
The ordinance provides that
garbage trucks used by the
collectors be constructed as
to be water proof and sub
stantially equipped so as to
prevent wind-blown trash.
The garbage pails are to
be provided by the customer
in a capacity not to exceed
35 gallons and equipped with
a lid to prevent the entrance
of insects or rain. All equip
ment and methods of dump
ing must conform with the
regulations of the County
Health Department.
The minimum garbage col
lection fee will be $1.50 to $2
per month for pickup at the
curb once a week and a mini
mum of $2.50 to $3 per month
for pickup at the door once
a week. Special arrangements
may be made between collec
tors and clients for additional
or special services.
The ordinance provides that
no garbage be stored in any
thing other than a container
equipped with a lid suffici
ently closed to prevent the!
entrance, of insects or rain and
then early for a period not
to exceed one week.
It also provides that no per-*
son shall dispose of gattiege
other than at an approved
sanitary landfill approved by
the District Health Depart
ment. However, this does not 1
prevent any person from Ihe 1
disposal of garbage from- his
own residence or business es
tablishment by burying it in i
a safe and sanitary manner :
on hill own premises. Also,
garbage and trash may be
burned by any person on his :

COOLEEMEE, N. C. THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1966
I Pvt. Jerry Spry, son of Mr. and Mrs. Grady Spry,
jSr. of Cooleemee, is in Korea serving his country and!
at the same time doing something very helpful for a
group of orphans in mat country. Jerry's mother re
ceived a letter from him asking if the ladies of the First
Baptist Church would coatribute clothing to the boys
and girls of Kwang Tan Orphanage in Korea. Mrs. Spry
called the President of the Woman's Missionary Society
about this. Immediately, Mrs. A. T. Lewis, the president,
called the circle chairmen of the four circles and plans
were made to collect clothing and send to Jerry to be
given to the children of this orphanage. The ladies sent
seven large boxes fitted with nice cfcan, used and mend
ed clothes, plus a new'iclotSWftg.
Many of the soldiers in the same barracks with
Jerry, have also helped these small children by helping
. to supply than with the necessities that really means
something for the survival of these children. This is a
wonderful thing for these boys to do with all the trouble
in the various parts of the world. Jerry and the other
soldiers are to be commended for the interest in the
welfare of these orphans. The ladies of the First Bap
tist Church were very happy to be able to send cloth
t ing to Jerry, but when they received the following letter
saying what a nice Christmas they had because of the
clothing, they were so thankful that they had a part
in making a happy Christmas for Jerity and the child
ren.
December 29,1965
Dear Mrs. Lewis and Ladies of W. M. U.:
Hello and a warm Christmas greeting from Korea-
Just a few lines to let you know that we had a very
nice Christmas and was thinking of my family, Mends,
and especially the W. M. U. I want to thank you and
Mrs. Spargo for taking time from your busy day to
pack and mail the boxes. They arrived in very good
shape and in time for Christmas. We took the clothes
down to the orphanage Christmas and I wish each
one of you could have seen all the joy and happiness I
got to see. These kids here are starved for a little love
and need so much help. I made quite a few snapshots
and will send them to you as soon as I get them back.
Things are fine here but its very cold. Tonight Its
down to 8 degrees below zero and we had a white Christ
mas- We still have snow, but its only in spots. It was
hard being away from home but these kids kept me
pretty busy, but I enjoyed every minute. Mrs. Lewis,
thanks very much for making my Christmas and my
orphan kids a happy on?. I am very proud to be a
member of the First Baptist Church which has dedicated
women as we have of the W.M.U. Thanks very much
and these kids will never forget the women of First
Baptist Church.
Thanks very much,
Yours truly,
Jerry Spry

Library Is
OR The Move
By A Staff Member
Well, the notices are out
that we are really working
now on getting a few things
settled in the new library,
preparatory to the final "Great
Moving Day"! Questions are
coming thick and fast as to
just what we are doing since
we are closing each Monday
morning and Wednesday after
noon to work in the new
building. Let us tell you a
little about our acUvities.
If we thudc they are ac
celerated now, we'll probably
find ourselves getting around
as rapidly as those funny
characters in the old "Perils
of Pauline" moving pictures
before things finally quiet
down to some kind at routine
again!
But avan though this project,
teor> M fraught with mipor
periia, Like learning how to
manage light switches, the
telephone intercom system,
thermostats, finding the right
places for myriads of small
items that are needed now to
continue our work, (and even
deciding to paint the inside
of a display case!), several
larger accomplishments are
now ticked off
A good start has been made
on getting the Davie County
History Room in usable order,
and desks are placed and in
use for "Miss Flossie" Martin
and James W. Wall, county
historians.
And the picture file We
have sorted out, partially dis
carded, or organized and re
organized according to subject
matter, boxes and boxes of
picture material which had
been (necessarily) stored in
a most haphazard and unsatis
factory manner in our former
quarters. This is filed in
special files where the refer
ence librarian on duty will be
able to locate it for you with
out being a detective. Oh. joy!
This material will gradually
be increased as more accumu
lates.
Display materials have been
stored in accesible order, too. j
Last week, was also the
week for some of the furni
ture to arrive unassembled
•md be set uo ar.d placed, a
high point of the whole event!
So soon we can beeinr think
ing of "all those books" and
other things which can be
moved. And we are not for
getting what a blessing our
manv kind vohmtwr workers
will be during all this!
Oh. yes! And the coffee pot!
Twice a day we allow our
selves the luxury of a Quick
"UD of coffee, and does it hit
the spot? Reminds us of the
good old New Year's "We'll
take a cup of kindness vet. for
*uld lam? syne" and there
'is' a little tug at the heart
strings when you must leave
a familiar place which has
been filled with many friends
and happy hours. But we look
forward to having those
friends and many more with
us at our new home, with real
satisfaction and happy hours
for all!
