2 The Index-Journal, Greenwood, S.C Nov. 4,1981 cal needs CPW investigating cost of study of electri Today CPW members were told that a total of 8.5 million gallons of water were pumped Tuesday, well above the norm forthis season. Grubb also told commissioners that work on the second water main linking the lake plant expansion and the city could begin as early as the first of Gas Department supervisor Hugh Edwards told commision-ers that hook-up and maintenance of natural gas heating units is still behind, but aiathe department is catching up with the demand, although a back-log still remains. "We get this every year," Edwards said. "There really isn't anything we can do about it." such a study would cost.

The study will project the load on the CPW's four electrical substations through 1986, with rough estimates for five years following, according to Grubb, who presented estimated figures for electrical demand through 1986 during a meeting early today. Grubb's figures show that at least two of the substations will be reaching peak demand loads by 1986, which may make it necessary for the CPW to construct and equip a fifth substation to help hanndle the load. Such a substation would cost close to $350,000 to build and equip, Grubb said. I In other action during the brief meeting, CPW members reviewed construction work in progress at the Lake Greenwood Water Plant. Commissioners were told that the lake plant expansion could be pumping water by October 1982.

"We're a little ahead of schedule," Grubb said, while noting that water demand remains higher than normal, due to the extended By VAL PALMER Staff writer A study showing what electrical needs will be over the next five to 10 years is needed, according to members of the Greenwood Commissioners of Public Works, who asked CPW Manager Clarence Grubb to get a rough estimate of how much Parsons.

City log A kitchen fire was reported late Tuesday evening at a Kaye Drive residence. Reports said Northwest Volunteer Fire Department responded to the fire, which did only minor fire damage to the kitchen cabinets. Reports said the fire was apparently caused by food left on the stove.

SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT The following information was taken from reports of the Greenwood County Sheriff Department: A break-in was reported early today at a County Farm Road aaba Dnmwh tnlA a (mnt Ann (Continued from page 1) That's Tom over there'. And I'd go over to the other boy and ask him about the chore and he would say he wasn't Tom and point to yet another boy," Mrs. Parson explained. "Until I finally did learn all of their names and faces, I'd go on the merry-go-round every time." Parson had his own suble way of keeping the boys out of trouble. One of the older boys was fond of slipping down the drainpipe at night to get out after hours.

After Parson heard the boy make his way down one night, he greased the pipe with lard. When the boy returned home and found he couldn't return up his escape route, he knew he had been discovered and was calmly let in by Parson. The Parsons later moved to the newly completed Hamilton Cottage, where they welcomed their first girls into the family. Mrs. Parson's opinion had once been the final word on what tie matched what shirt or if a jacket was snappy enough, the boys asked the girls' opinions on clothes, which they accepted without POLICE DEPARTMENT The following information was taken from reports of the Greenwood Police Department: A Greenwood Garden Apartments resident reported vandalism to his car Monday.

Reports said eggs were thrown at the car while it was parked at the owners residence. The owner of a Cambridge, Road repair shop reported the theft of a chain saw Tuesday. Reports said the saw was discovered missing after a customer left the store. The saw is valued at $195. VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS The following information was taken from reports of the volunteer fire departments Health became more involved with each one and worried over their problems and progress." There's a story behind each qhild, the Parsons agree, each with good times and bad times.

And the Parsons, fondly known to their children as "ma and have played a large role in the development of 109 children who passed through Connie Maxwell Children's Home over the years. Mr. and Mrs. Parson have attended the graduations and weddings of many of their children and keep in touch with 51 through letters and calls. They boast of their' 58 "grandchildren" and enjoy flipping through albums full of school and candid shots of their older children with the children presently at the Hamilton Cottage.

Although they are considering retirement in the next three to four years, it would not mean an end to their years of loving devotion to children. Although they will relinquish their role as cottage parents, Mrs. Parson said, they plan to continue to work with the Connie Maxwell children, and to live within the Greenwood community. Forecast Although the Parsons's lives are packed each day with the routine management of a family, their main task is still the same as 25 years ago. "Not only must we meet the basic needs of the children, but we must provide them with love, understanding, security and a sense of worth.

We do everything a parent does but we don't try to re-. place a parent, Mrs. Parson emphasized. "I guess we're everything bundled in one. We help them study, wait on them when they're sick and help them with their problems" One of the hardest lessons to accept for Mrs.

Parson as a cottage mother was the separation of a child. Because the Department of Social Services moves the children out of Connie Maxwell as rapidly as possible into an adoptive or foster home, they are generaly there for only short periods of time, Mrs. Parson explained, so that the attachement does not become as great. "When we first moved into Hamilton Cottage, which only has a capacity of eight, the superintendent told me I was going to have to stop seeing so much or he'd move me back into a cottage of 18, she the smaller number of children, I Jackets siui c. llcfAl ta oaiu a win uwt was broken in and six cases of beer, valued at $60, taken.

And Burnett predicts a larger number being ordered this year, with more people making the honor roll than in previous years. "The kids are proud to wear them," Burnett said. Burnett said there was a time when mak ing grades was not the "in thing:" But, he added, students are now taking more pride in academics and academics are now becoming the "in thing." The jackets are a way of recognizing students every day, Burnett explained.

"It is a symbol the students can wear to school," Burnett said. "The jackets come a part of the students' every day attire." The jackets, Burnett said, "are going over rather well."

Drummond then promised to check into ways the bed shortage might be eased in the area. Ken Flinchum and Nell Perry were the sole representatives of Greenwood County at the meeting. Greenwood County Council member Belle Kennette and Chairman Carl Seigler said were unable to attend because the meeting was held at the same time as the regular Greenwood County Council meeting. W.D.

Nixon, Abbeville County Council Chairman attended the meeting, representing Abbevil-, Ie County, while County Supervisor Curtis Baggett represented McCormick County. Bag- -gett and Nixon discussed health priorities in their respective counties, agreeing with Naylor that more nursing home beds are needed for the area. The Saluda County representative, County Council chairman Alfred Coleman, did not attend. (Continued from page 1) Chandler Bailey, Three Rivers deputy director for planning, presented a series of health profiles for each county in the Saluda sub-district. The profiles, which were prepared in conjunction with the South Carolina State Development Board, give population statistics including births and deaths, for each county as well as an explanation of health care facilities available in the county.

The mortality rate, with an explanation of the leading causes of mortality, is also listed. During his speech, Sen. Drum-mond also stressed the importance of careful planning and cooperation through the health systems agencies. "We've got to plan carefully to get the most nefit from every dollar we get," he said. Participants discussed an apparent shortage of nursing home beds, with Gary Naylor of Edgefield County complaining that his efforts to use hospital facilities to provide skilled nursing home service were blocked by DSS.

Current CPW Chairman Dick Harter won another six-year term to the commission, garnering 428 votes. Write-in votes for each elected post were cast by town voters, making up for the discrepancy in the number of votes a candidate received compared with the total number of votes cast in the election.

Legislature has modernized ates in a $20 million office complex. Today, the House and Senate are manned with research aides, standing committee staffs and secretaries. In the Senate, there is a secretary for every two senators. The House has a secretarial pool. In addition, the General Assembly has an auditing arm, the Legislative Audit Council; its own bureaucratic watchdog, the State Reorganization Commission; its own computerized information system, Legislative Information Services; and several joint legislative committees.

COLUMBIA (AP) The South Carolina General Assembly has long been regarded as one of the most dominant Legislatures in the country. But ten years ago, the body was ranked last in the nation in having sufficient equipment, staff and facilities to run an effective legislative branch. In 1971, the General Assembly had no research staff, no office space, few secretaries, almost no meeting rooms and operated at a cost of $2.1 million. Today, the legislative branch costs taxpayers $13.8 million to function and it oper Deaths and funerals By The Associated Press Wednesday Temperatures indicate previous day's high and overnight low to 8 a.m. EST.
