ran^to ten-year reeommendations

Denri'is Fox presented the .sewer i
piaposals and the major 1 >ng j

ommondation was that a new ]
sewage dispfAsal plant to handle
up to four million gallon-s <;f ef-

ial industrial and re:?Klential
depment and further relieve |
long-term inriu-strial pro suroson
the McGill planT. He said a Iw'o-
million gallon plant would co.st
total $821,000.
He also urged immediate a-
d.-^tion of a w'astc use ordinance
to cover industrial cf.Huent.
t^ol. Dickson presented the j
water system recommendations. !

1 The city Tue.sday aceepti»d the
' recommendation of W. D. Ixl-
wards, the city’s consulting en-
■ gincer, to increase (Mst of gas to
I lirm custcmners by eight cent.s
per MCF and to interruptible
customers by .sev<'n cents per
MCF.
I Ihe raises were dictated by a
3.3 increa.se by tlie city's .supp/ji-
I or Transcontinental Gas Tipe-
line Corpjralion, effecti.e Janu-
, ary 10. . . ,
’ Pointing cut ti;it the city had
' absorbed a one-cent inerea-^c* in
1970, Engineer Edwards declared,
t “You can't afford to ab.sorb an-
' other $25,000 inciease."
I Mr. Edwards said the increase
1 for residential u.'^ers. ba.<«d on
average usage should not exceed
: $9.60 per year. He added, “There’s
1 no way to estimate the average
I increa.se for indu-strial or inter-
I ruptible customers. There arc
ten meters on this class of serv
ice and the amount of usage va
ries widely.”
(An interruptible customer is
told to “get off the line” when
demand p<Mks, and maintains
standby fuel for that purpose t
Mr. Edwards pointed out a fur
ther rojuson the city could not
absorb the new increase: passage
in November of the gas safety
act, being administered by the
D(‘pa rt ment of Transport at ion.
“To comply with this act — and
it isn’t a matter of choice—will
i require you to employ at lea.st
one more i»erson in your gas de
partment,” Mr. Edwards jxiinted
rKit. He added there is require
ment for more frequent chtn-ks
for gas leak.s. mui h more exten-
.'-^ive record-keeping, and other j
operational changes.
Mr. Eflw'anls also pointed tltat
the city’s normal operating costs
are escalating, pipe, toofs. dig
ging cfiuipment and other needs.
Pointing to the short supply of
natural gas, as well as i%al and
fuel oil. he held out no hope' that
there would be a roll-back of the
Tran.'^eo increase by the Federal
Power commission.

Finl Team-Teaching inemsion
At Bethwaie: Evans Sives Bcpsrt
...... ......I. .
By EVAN JAMES EVANS
Prinsipcl, Bethware School
(f:d. Note: Kings Mountain's
first incursion into team teach
ing is being eonduicted this
year at Bethware School.)
One of the newer approaches
to education involves three or
four different things that are
necessary if the program is go
ing to be effective. It also in
volves physical plants and per-'
sonnel that are suitable to it’s
introduction and Implementation.
The physical plant can be oh- ,
tained by altering existing build- j
ings at a .srmall cost simply by
removing some walls bet\\een
classrooms (which -incidentally
helps to remove wvills between
teachers and pupils) and open
ing up the areas for large groups.
The pt'rsonnel problem is some-
thing else again. It roquire^i
teachers w'ho are intere.-^ted in
this approach, who want to work
An it, who are willing to and
M ]nt to work with other teachers
“/a "team” situation. There 1*^ |
no need to begin any .such luo-1
gram unless it is at the request ,
of the persons involved. Teajhors i

know .very little about it, unless
. they have a burning desire to
1 learn and d(» the very best pos-
' sible job for eaeli am! every pu-
: pil in their care! Since this new
er approach is gearetl to eacJi
'pupil, on a pers inal b.-i.^^ls, and
I is iiidividualizeil lor him and
' him alone, it is certainly (be best
pasdblc kind of educational op

Thi.s approa.’li is generally j
kmnvn simply as a “ttMm tcaeli-
ing” situatimi. Hawever. it em-
bridles much, nutcli more tlian
merely that. T('am teaching must
bo combined witli Individualized
Instnietion, Continuous Progress
and in most eases, multi-aged
and/or multi-graded grouping. So
it is at loast a three-fold pro
