day ngihts’’.

whom were re-elected during
. the recent elections, are Bill
Camp, Grady Ross, Don Rich
and Jim Howell. Terms of
Mayor Pro Tem Ronald
Queen and Mayor Bill Mc-
Carter do not expire until
1987.
During a special meeting
Monday night, the -commis-
sioners hired a woman police
officer, Donna Treadway, 44,
of Shelby, to replace fired
police officer Phe Tester
and borrowed a patrol car for
her to use from the Cleveland
County Sheriff’s Department
until a new car is delivered in
June. Ms. Treadway will
report to work April 1. The
