Manage Your Time Better
If you feel that you do not have
enough hours in your day. you may
need to manage your time better.
The key words here might be organi
zation. delegation and elimination.
Let's take a brief look at each one.
starting with organization. Begin by
answering the question "What is
important to me, both personally and
on the job?" You can do this by
using the popular "things I must get
done today" list and taking it a step
further. Rank all the jobs, so you
know which ones need to be done
first, second and further on down the
line.
Maybe your "to do" list has an
unwieldy number of urgent and
important items. If so, it is tyne to
delegate. Ask the children to prepare
their own snacks or ask your office
assistant to handle routine ques
tions.
You will find that delegating may
take more time in the short run since
you need to teach family members or
co-workers a new task. But consider
it an investment in your future for
freeing up additional time. And.
remember that the other person will
benefit from learning a new skill and
developing a sense of responsibility.
Look over that "to do" list one
more time. How many of these jobs
could you eliminate altogether?
Maybe you can't get everything
done, but if you are organized and
can get the most urgent and im
portant things done, you will still feel
a sense of accomplishment.

Kenansville May Buy Building
For Their First Town Hall
The Town Board voted last week to
buy the former Federal Land Bank
building in Kenansville if arrange
ments can be made with the agency.
The building would become |
Kenansville's first town hay. The
Town Board now uses space in the
, fire department.
The agency is asking $73,000 for
(he one-story, 2,200-square-foot
masonry building on N.C. 24 east of
the courthouse square.
The board directed town attorney
W.E. Craft to study a payment
method.
The board wants to pay $20,000
immediately and the remaining
$53,000 over three years. Town
officials plan to use the town's
federal revenue-sharing money to
buy the property.
North Carolina National Bank
offered to lend the town $53,000 at
nine percent interest for three years
with no penalty for early payment.
UCB offered to lend the town the
money at 65 percent of the prime '
rate. The Federal Land Bank offered
the town the money at 13 percent 3
interest.
Six residents attended the public 1
hearing on the proposed purchase.
"Why do you want a building? '
What's wrong with where you are
now?" Henry Barnett asked.
"All towns need a town hall." said
Mayor Don Suttles. "We've got one '
office for the clerk. We've got one for
the police. The chamber needs
space. We don't have any place to
meet. We don't even have any place
to put a file cabinet.
"We're meeting in this room at 1
the convenience of the fire depart
ment." Suttles said. "We have to
schedule our meetings around the
fire department. It's their building.
They control it and rightly so."
"Most places do have a town
hall." said Town Commissioner Earl
Hatcher. "I've been here 30-some
years and 1 remember when we met
in the back room of a jewelry store.
t's time we move on."
Commissioner Ronnie Bostic
isked: "Is there money to buy the
>uilding? Where are we going to get
he money from?"
Clerk Mary Ann Jenkins said the
building can be paid for in three
years using federal revenue-sharing *
Funds.
"I would like to see us buy it if we
:an afford it, but 1 would hate to see
us tie up all of our revenue sharing
For the next three years in any
project," Bostic said.
"We've been talking about it for
30 years," Hatcher said. "Revenue
sharing won't continue forever. 1
think we should either do it now or
Forget it. If we use this revenue
sharing to run the town with and
they cut it off, we'll have one of the
damnedest tax increases you ever
saw or cut what we're doing drasti
cally."
"Kenansville has always had a
make-shift town hall," said Woody
Brinson, a former mayor and town
administrator.
Brinson suggested that moving
town offices from the center of town
might help town growth.
"Everybody can't be in the center
of town," he said. "If you move the
town hall a block down the road
maybe some other businesses will
move a block down the road."
Pink Hill Town
Board Meets
In openers, Carol Sykes, Pink Hill
town clerk, announced that 99.13%
of the town taxes have been col
lected, when the town board met
Tuesday.
Discussion was entered on a light
and ditch problem complaint on the
Pauline King property. A decision
was made to install a light but the
board agreed that some pruning was
needed, which, in turn, would have
to be made by the property owner,
herself.
A motion was made and carried by
the board to increase the water and
sewer deposit from S25 to $35 for
