Ex-Raeford Pastor Dies A former pastor of the First Baptist Church in Raeford died Saturday of a heart attack after talking to President Carter on a radio talk show. According to a Charlotte Observer news story. The Rev. * James E. Baker was termed "elated" and "happy" by his family following the brief conversation in which he praised the president for his moral leadership and urged him to do something to protect con sumers from unscrupulous business practices. The Rev. Baker, who had moved COUNCIL (Continued from Pag*. 1) planning board. Accord; :.g to Drumwright, Gentry's appoint ment to the city council created a conflict as the council must approve recommendations of the planning board. The council tables any further action on fee collection for the sewers laid in the North Raeford area pending agreement with the North Raeford Water Association Board of Directors. The lines are being put in by the county with the intent that the city would maintain them and collect applicable fees. A resolution was passed to apply for a state grant to pay up to 25 percent of the cost of the sewer to be built from N.C. 21 1 to Cole Ave. Weaver Construction Co. has already made an offer to help * defray construction costs. , The Zoning Board recommended that the area off U.S. 401 College Dr. be rezoned from commercial to residential. Councilmen agreed. An application for a grant of up to $5,000 for an updated com munications system between fire men and the dispatcher was discussed and approved. The total communications system may add up to $12,000. Councilmen are considering a paging type system rather than the current direct telephone lines run into the homes of the men. A request for the extension of a water line into the Shaw Town area was approved on the condition that the applicants pay for the pipe themselves. Councilmen were informed that the assurance form agreeing to abide by regulations required for receipt of the scheduled $94,000 ? revenue sharing award has been processed. Drumwright said that the council discussed a forthcoming meeting of the League of Municipalities to be ? held March 30 in Raleigh, but none of the councilmen indicated their intention to attend. A $3,300 bill from the Chamber of Commerce was presented to the council for the printing of new brochures. The council had agreed earlier to pay half the $2,000 estimated total cost. Voting 3 - 2, the councilmen agreed to pay the $600 above the original $1,000 estimate on the printing. The county will pay the other halt of the bill. Sam Morris and Benny McLeod cast the dissenting votes. TRIP (Continued from Page 1) at the next meeting in April.
