Turkeys Loose In
Truck Crash
A truck wreck Wednesday
night scattered nearly 1,000
turkeys over a wide area
along N.C. 11 north of
Kenansville and caused
nearly $37,000 in damages.
The driver, Julius S.
Sutton, SS, of Route 1,
Warsaw, was treated at
Duplin Genral Hospital for a
cut on the head, and was
released later that night.
The wreck killed 462 of the
1.4S2 turkeys in the semi
trailer load. Sutton told State
Patrolman J.N. Ray that the
lights on the truck went out
when he dimmed them, and
he lost control of the vehicle
due to the darkness. The
Carroll's of Warsaw truck
had loaded the turkeys at the
nearby Woodrow Jackson
farm. Employees of Carroll's
of Warsaw worked more than
five hours Wednesday night
and Thursday morning to
round up the birds which
fluttered to roost in nearby
trees and on vehicles stopped
on the highway.
Joel Coleman of the firm
said the birds weighed about
24 pounds apiece and were
worth about S10 each. He
estimated the damage to the
vehicle and the value of the
birds killed or lost at about
$37,000.

Faison Board
Swears In New Members
By Etnlly KUIette
Faison commissioners
voted to look into changing
the dog ordinance during
their meeting Dec. 20 after
swearing in two new
members of the board.
Rachel Clifton and Billie
Hollingsworth were sworn
in. Both women will be
serving four-year-terms
replacing W. A. Frizzell and
El wood Allen.
Commissioners Helen
Britt, Clifton and Igoe, along
with Mayor Bill Carter, were
selected to a committee to
look into changing the
present dog ordinance, and
make suggestions for pos
sible changes. A report from
the committee is scheduled
for the January meeting.
The board also voted to
amend the dual watermeter
ordinance which had been
charging owners with more
than one residence hooked to
the same water meter the
minimum water rate for each
residence. Many people in
. Faison htal complained, said
Commissioner Fred
Wheless, who is also'super
intendent of public works,
because in some cases each
residence is not in use, and
the town has been charging
those people for water they
have not been using. The
board voted to change the
ordinance to charge the extra
rates to only those residences
that are in use, with the
possibility of amending the
ordinance at the next meet
ing after conducting a study
to determine the best way to
judge when additional resi
dences on water meters are
being used and when they
are vacant. According to
Wheless. there are about 50
water meters in Faison which
serve more than one resi
dence.
Mayor Carter informed the
board that plans to remove
the traffic island on the
corner of Center and Main
Streets are underway. Ac
cording to the mayor, the
stop sign on the island has
been repeatedly torn down
by turning trucks.
A request to restrict park
ing on Main Street to two
hours was brought to the
attention of the board, and
Commissioner Britt has was
asked to talk with the down
town merchants and present
a report at the next meeting.
Commissioner Igoe
presented the audit report
for 1979 and furnished board
members with a brief state
ment of the financial stability
of Faison over the past five,
years. The report showed the
town financially stable each
year except 1978.
Town Administrator Neil
Mallory recommended the
board set Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. as
the time for the public hear
ing on the preapplication to
HUD for community devel
opment funds. Mallory also
informed them that bids for
the appraisal of approved
waste water treatment plant
sites had been received. He
recommended the boa(4
award the contract to Little
ton Realty and Insurance
Agency, Inc. of Goldsboro for
the sum of S2.700, and that
the 45 days to complete the
project begin Dec. 20. The
board agreed, and advised
Mallory to contact the firm to
begin work Dec. 20.
The board was presented a
preliminary plan of a pro
posed county-wide water
system by the engineer. Bob
Pittman of Rivers and Asso
ciates, Inc. of Greenville,
who has been hired by the
county to plan the system.
Also present was William
Costin, chairman of the
county board of commis
sioners; John Gurganus, the
county development director;
and W.A. Frizzell, a member
of the county planning board.
Pittman explained that the
system will be self-support
ing after its completion, and
the minimum water bill will
be about $7.50 for 2.000
gallons of water a month,
and the average bill about
S10-S11 each month.
According to Pittman. the
project is to be funded 56%
by the FmHA, and will cost
$17,500,000. The project is
broken down into two
phases. The first is the
preliminary planning and the
sign-up compaign which will
continue for the next six
months. The sign-up cam
paign is to identify where the
potentiall customers will be,
and then the project will be
redesigned to furnish those
persons with water. Pittman
explained that the engineers
would be meeting with each
town individually to design
the county water system to
avoid interference in the
town's plans for the future,
such as possible annexations
of housing developments.
The engineer emphasized
that each town would not be
required to hook into the
county water system, but if
they did, the towns could
possibly buy water from the
county or sell water to them,
depending upon a future
need.
The county water system
is planned to include six
300,000 storage tanks and 10
deep wells, which will be
located in areas of the county
which require little treatment
to the water. This will cut the
cost of operation, said
Pittman. The system is de
signed to be a homeowner
type project, and would not
be designed to support large
commerical businesses, he
added.
Faison commissioners Igoe
and Wheless both said the
project would be worthwhile
for Duplin citizens.
