Unlucky 13 For Local Rosidonts Rajah and Jean Grady have lived 13 years in their home just past B.F. Grady School at the intersection of Highway 111, from Beulaville, and NC Highway 11. During those 13 years, the Gradys have seen 13 automobile accidents, many of which happened in their vard after starting at the intersection in front of their home. Following a traffic mishap 18 months ago involving a Trailways bus bolting past the stop sign and into Grady's yard, he appeared before the Duplin County Commissioners and the Department of Trans mutation traffic control officials requesting a flashing caution light at the intersection. Grady said his request was denied because DOT officials said there was not enough traffic to warrant the light. Tracks of a semi-truck can still be seen in the Grady's yard that were made about three months ago when the intersection stop sign was missed. Last week the stop sign was missed again, and more than $10,000 in damage was done to Grady's property when a 1973 Buick failed to stop at the intersection. The driver was unharmed. Grady's garage building had just been remodeled and was valued at $20,000 before being hit by the car. Grady said he plans to continue efforts to obtain a flashing caution light at the intersection or a steel guard rail in front of a wooden fence around his year. Pictured above is the Grady's garage building following the accident last Wednesday nigh'..

George Bernard Shaw JSTC Enrollment Up, Plans Approved For Construction Curriculum student enrollment 'or the fall quarter at James Sprunt Technical Collge is up approximately three percent, according to figures reported at the Board of Trustees meeting held Oct. 10. At the close of late registration, 766 students were enrolled in curriculum classes com pared to 743 students for fall quarter 1984. Comparisons for the two fall quarters reflect a twelve percent shift from day to evening enroll ments, a slight increase in vocational (one-year) program enrollments and a slight decrease in technical (two year) enrollments. Figures also re flect a slight shift (five percent) from full-time to part-time students. Sixty-six percent are enrolled in day courses, while 34 percent are enrolled in evening courses. Students enrolled full-time in curri culum classes (12 credit hours or more) comprise 60 percent of total enrollment, while 40 percent are classified as part-time (less than 12 credit hours). Approximately 75 students are enrolled in classes at the Wallace-Rose Hill Center. In other business, approval was given for the use of approximately S800.000 in state and county appro priations for construction of the campus student center and for renovations and repairs to the McGowen Building. Construction bids for the stu -nt center will be opened at 3 p.m. Oct. 31, and construction of the 12,000 square-feet, $600,000 building should begin before the first of the year, according to the business manager, Herman Kight. Kight said he was still hopeful that the new building can be occupied by the start of fall quarter 1986. Approximately $200,000 will be used for exterior and interior repairs and renovations to the McGowan Building, including energy conser vation measures. Plans include re pairs to the roof and drainage system, and replacement of all windows in the 20-year-old building with more energy-efficient ones. Also to be renovated is the Edd Dudley Monk Auditorium in the Hoffler Building. The auditorium will receive new paint and wallpaper, a front curtain and new projection screen. Other Board business included the approval of personnel contracts and changing the home and hospital aide curriculum to a homemaker/home health aide program. Director of Continuing Education Joe Jones also reported on the adult literacy program operated throughout the county by his de partment. During 1984-85, 427 adults wer enrolled in ABE courses to improve their skills in reading, writing and math. According to follow-up studies by Debra Morrisey, assistant director, achievement figures reflect that 55 improved their skills sufficiently to enter another educational program; 48 were removed from welfare; 13 voted for the first time and 65 improved their skills sufficiently to get a job. The ABE program is designed for adults whose literacy is at the 8th-grade level or below. The U.S. nickel is really 75 percent copper and just 25 percent nickel. PRE-CHRISTMAS SALE^t?
