Several little tidbits this week. . .First off, have you .4
noticed the colorful, eye-pleasing flowers at the end of L
Kenansville's business district street ? the one that butts
up to the courthouse. 1 am told this beautiful flowering
garden is the' handiwork of Violet Phillips. As Wilming
ton's TV reporter of years gone by, Ben McDonald, used to
say ? "A tip of the old and battered homburg (hat.)"
???*?
At a recent county commissioners meeting, the
commissioners agreed to a salary increase for Ann Hunter.
Mrs. Hunter runs the county computer. Several people
have asked me how much her increase was. . .Well, she
has had no increase in salary as of July 11. The
commissioners failed to state when or how much the salary
increase was to be when they were agreeing she was to
receive one. The only increase of late was for Sylvia
Wiggins at the landfill, who will assume the gate
keeper's duties as well as the ones she had previously. . .
Which sounds like a good deal for the county. . .1 am not
too sure how good a deal it is for Mrs. Wiggins. After all,
there is only so much one can do in an eight-hour period.
Thomas Hodges of Warsaw was complaining of the
recent increase in water rates. . .Well, actually, 1 suppose
the correct term is sewer rates. The sewer rates were
increased. This is a bureaucratic was of increasing the
water rates. . .Rather than saying the water rates are
going to double, they say the sewer rates are going to be
100% of the water rates. . .Now, that sounds like you are
getting something extra for your money. . .It's just a
sneaky way of getting more money. . .But. back to Mr.
Hodges. . .He said the town was wasting money by the
way it handled its labor. Hodges stated he saw two men
reading the water meters with one sitting in a truck
writing down the figures the other man would give him.
"If the man can read meters, why not let him write them
down'.' The man in the truck is not needed," says Hodges.
. .Another incident cited by Hodges. . ."I saw one man
spraying weed-killer on grass in the sidewalk cracks. .
.There was another man along telling him where to
spray." Hodges went on to say he and other taxpayers in
Warsaw have to pay for this wastefulness. > .

Congratulations to Larry Simmons of Warsaw. He was
named the new town maintenance supervisor. I am glad
for him and his advancement; however, I am sorry the
maintenance crew is to lose its best and most dependable '
worker...

I was watching the Nashville Network on cable the other
night and listening to that good old country music when all
of a sudden up pops a couple of familiar faces. The show's
host. Ralph Emery, was talking with couples from Rose
Hill. . .The Whaleys and Bradshaws. The program was
"Nashville Now" and Mrs. Whaley got herself a tee-shirt.
. .Ain't no telling where you might see these Duplin
County folks. . .Son-of-a-Gun
