and suggested all of the containers be
?erviced on Mondays, instead of
Monday service for dumpsters nearby
to Raeford and Tuesday pickup of
the outlying areas as is currently
done, according to Mills.
No action was taken by the board
on the recommendation.
The commissioners discussed a
request from the city for placement
of a dumpster at the Raeford airport
and the board unanimously agreed
on a motion from commissioner
John Balfour that the city should
pay for it and the county will pay for
servicing.
The board okayed an
authorization for travel expenses for
new county planner Lester Simpson.
No amount was specified. The
expenses will be drawn against the
contingency fund, T.B. Lester said.
The board took no action on a
$679.09 charge from the region
council of governments for the
county's share of the cost of the
nutrition program which feeds senior
citizens.
Board members expressed surprise
at the charge, claiming they didn't
remember any added costs at the
time the program was begun. Lester
explained the chargc was in "the
overall plan".
Bids on furnishings for the new
county office building were
accepted. Williams Office Equpment
Co. was awarded a bid on nine file
cabinets for $859.50 and also was
low bidder on 200 stacking chairs
with a $17.80 per chair cost. The
chairs are earmarked for the county
agent's office and the social services
office.
Commissioners took a dim view of
a $24 bill from Raeford Plumbing
and Heating for repair of water lines
broken during the beginning of
construciton on the new library
building.
The matter was ordered referred
to the contractor, with the
commissioners agreeing the fault lies
with the firm
In other business, the board
reappointed J.D. McAllister to the
Four-County Community Action
Board and tapped T.B. Lester as the
county's representative for a study of
a computer program scheduled later
by a group from the state
government.
Civil preparedness coordinator
received congratulations from the
state civil preparedness office for
being the first in the state to
complete an updated emergency plan
for the county and submit it. Niven
recently attended a school on
preparing such a plan.
Barnhart was designated by the
board Jp complete a questionaire on
the federal revenue sharing program
on behalf of the county. The
questionaire was sent by the office of
Sen. Bill Brock (D-Tenn.)
Commissioners agreed to look into
a plan which would re-imburse the
county some indirect costs
connected with the Department of
Social Services operations. T.B.
Lester said DDS director Benjamin
Niblock estimated the savings could
be about $3,000. The

inspector jurisdiction to conduct
heating, air-conditioning, and
plumbing inspections within the city.
Merchant Association president
James Wood and Raefords dress shop
owner Theresa McBryde appeared
before the council appealing for
funds for the purchase of Christmas
lights to be placed along Main Street,
but councilmen were cool to the
idea.
Mrs. McBryde said only SI,800
had been received so far for the lights
project and urged the city contribute
to the fund. The lights she wishes to
buy are in the $65-$ 100 range.
Gaddy pointed out there were
problems with putting lights on the
street lamp poles due to agreements
between the telephone company and
Carolina Power and Light Co.
regarding minimum distances
between electrical wires.
No action was taken on the
request except a promise to look into
possible sources of funding.
The council agreed to look into
the possibility of the city leasing the
old Aberdeen and Rockfish railroad
property in the downtown area since
the railroad discontinued activity in
the depot.
Mayor McNeill suggested a lease
might be negotiated for about $100 a
month, taking the view the city
might then improve the appearance
of the property. Willcox agreed to
investigate the possibility.
TTie board also heard a report
from Gaddy on the county's
Tesponse to the city's request that a
garbage dumpster be placed at the
airport to end controversy over
garbage pickup.
Gaddy informed the board the
county commissioners gave their
okay to the request, if the city pays
the cost of the dumpster, which drew
criticism from councilman Morris,
"We ought to quit picking it
(trash) up at the courthouse," he
said.
The council took no action on the
matter.
The council also voted to make a
request for the installation of
stoplight at the Harris Avenue and
Bethel Road and Harris and Magnolia
Street intersections. The state
highway department it to be
contacted.
re-imbursement is to covet certain
administrative costs like check
issuing, Lester explained.
A January - July report of
activities of the rescue squad was
submitted for information. 121 calls
were answered, 28 persons were
transported, and 3,683 miles logged,
according to the report.
House Bill 520, which deals with
the creation of juvenile detention
homes on a regional basis, was
outlined in a letter to the board, but
the board deferred making any
committment until further
information could be learned.
County attorney Charles Hostetler
briefed the board on the status of the
proposed heating, air - conditioning,
and plumbing code and a motion
declaring the intent to approve such
a code at the next regular meeting
was passed unanimously at
Hostetler's urging.
Hostetler also informed the board
the scheduled date of the sale of
bonds to finance the school
construction is Oct. 21. Total
amount of bonds is S325.000, which
carry a six and one half per cent
interest rate, according to Hostetler.
The board okayed five
appointments to the recreation
commission. Robert Taylor, John
McNeill, Warren Pate, Kay Thomas,
and Younger Snead were given three
year terms. Recent resignations were
announced as Palmer Willcox, Dayna
Pate, and Phil Ricks.
Before adjourning, Jimmy
Morrisey appeared before the board
with suggestions for use of the public
service employment funds.

Thursday,October 9, 1975
Read Psalm 34:110
() lasie and see that the Lord is
good: blessed is the man that
trusteth in him. (Psalm 34:8)
Geologists have said that millions
of years ago the desert center of
Australia was probably a vast inland
sea. Occasionally, after unusually
heavy rains to the Northeast, it has
resembled just that, once again.
Everything is swept away before the
surging, spreading flood.
On one of the most recent of these
occasions, a mission station was
completely destroyed, with not a
plank remaining. When rescued, the
distraught missionary said to the
press. "All God's work has been
washed away." How sad to look back
on all those years of service and feel
that the work of God was swept
away as a few buildings collapsed.
The real work of God is in the hearts
of persons. Mis work is redeeming
persons and building up a
relationship of trust and love
between His people and Himself.
PRAYER: Omnipotent God,
Creator of all the natural forces of
wind. wave, and weather, help me to
remember that You are in control.
Let me glimpse for a moment, too.
Your work as You see it. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
God's most important work is in our
hearts.
