8-- Corbin Wednesday, January 12,1977 Truckers had little to do at the Union 76 truck stop as they waited for road conditions to im- prove but eat and drink coffee. The truck stop restaurant ex- pected fo pour 10,000 to 11,000 more cups of coffee than normal this week. Here Jim Strader, of Knoxville, upper right, and Dave Campbell, of Attica, Michigan, enjoy coffee with their meals. Troy Bolin, of Little Rock, Arkan- sas, upper left, said, "I'm ab- solutely floating with coffee, I may never drink another cup." He is drinking a soda. Truckers Are Unhappy With Road Maintenance (Continued From Pagel) Arkansas, said, "It's the inexperienced winter drivers, those not use to it they get scared and slow down so they stop traffic." "Once a truck gets rolling," Strader said, "it's hard to stop it.

They can usually make it as long as there is nothing in the way." Jesse Tyre, 46, of 110 Oaklawn, Corbin, manager of the truck stop restaurant, said he has heard many of these complaints lately. "The bad conditions, and the cars driving carelessly, it makes it kind of dangerous for them," he said. Tyre gave his employees special instructions for han- dling the unusual number of truckers in the restaurant. 'JKeep'em happy, give them all the coffee they want, and give them' good service," the waitresses were told. The manager's motto is "Treat your truckers right and they'll be back tomorrow." But today the truckers are just sitting around, talking, looking at trucks through the windows, and drinking coffee lots of coffee.

"I'm absolutely floating with coffee," Bolan said. "I may never drink another cup." Tyre said he estimates his employees will pour 10,000 to 11,000 more cups of coffee than usual this week, though he said most-of these would be refills rather than individual 'sales. Like most truck stop restaurants, Tyre charges only lor the first cup of coffee. Refills are free. Until the roads improve, truckers have little else to do.

"I'm just getting homesick," Moore said. "I haven't been so long in one town since I don't know when." Saturday Classes Discussed (Contiued From Page!) "We think we're a long way from that," said Herndon, figuring that students in Corbin have missed about 7 days from bad weather, and should get out of school around May 25.

Towards the conclusion of the meeting, Supt. Hampton told the board that Jefferson County school projects had taken all the funds allotted to the state for education under the public works program.

Hampton said be has heard that Congress will attempt to pass a $2 billion public works bill this year.

The superintendent em- phasized that while this may be "pure speculation," the on file in Watlliijgwn will be considered- applications.

Gov. Julian Carooll said Tuesday that the snowstorms and cold "are causing serious though not critical problems. Fuel shortages are now occurring In some sections. "State government is doing everything possible to solve these problems with minimum discomfort to you," Carroll said. "You can be of great help conserving fuel In every way possible." He urged people to "set the thermostat no higher than 68 degrees if your health permits: don't overheat water; use you gas and electric appliances wisely; obey the 59-mile-per- hour speed limit." Commissioner Damon Harrison said subzero weather caused problems at the electrical generating plants of the Tennessee Valley Authority-- which serves much of western Kentucky and some areas In the southeastern part of the state--and Kentucky Utilities, which has customers in central and eastern Kentucky and some areas to the west Harrison also said Columbia Gas of Kentucky--based in Lexington and providing natural gas to customers in wide areas of central, north- central and northeastern Kentucky--will ask large users that can do it to switch to fuel oil for heat.

State and federal government offices and the University of Kentucky will be the largest gas users switching to oil heat, he said, "leaving more gas for schools or industrial plants that have to have gas for their processes. "I don't think there's any crisis," Harrison said. "But everybody needs to really conserve. I don't foresee any crisis, but with weather of this nature, no one can predict what will happen." (Continued From Page 1) Utilities Commission con- tributed $167,000 to the city's coffers, and allowed that they couldn't be as generous this year, unless the city raises utilities for the first time in seven years. Rains said the Utilities Commission plans to spend nearly $593,000 in im- provements to their service this year.

"There's no way we have enough money to meet our own needs, let alone anybody else's," he said. (The last utility hike was in December of 1970. Corbin customers, however, have since been paying a fuel adjustment rate on their monthly bills, dictated by higher costs from the Kentucky Utilities Co.) Rains was concerned with the pricetag of the projects, noting that these were "improvements that must be made immediately in order to provide reliable electric and water service to our customers and comply with state and federal regulations relative to the sewer system." One of the major projects will be a sewer system evaluation study, which will be conducted at an estimated cost of $174,000. Fortunately, the federal government will pay for 79 percent of the study's costs. Rains says the existing sewer system, built In 1973, Is in compliance with the govern- College Results By The Associated Press EAST American 81, Temple 64 Colgate 82, Binghamton St 68 Holy Cross 84, Yale 71 King's, Pa.

Also included in this year's budgeted projects is the con- struction of a $500,000 gallon water tank on the Cumberland Falls road and extension of water lines into that area. The project will be located down U.S. 29W, near the in- terchange with Interstate 75, to the Corinth crossing. John t. Wright, a professional engineer from the Louisville firm of Hazelet Erdal, appeared with plans and specifications for the project, which Rains figures will cost around $329,000.

The water lines will proceed along Cumberland Falls road, explained Wright, turn at the Corinth Crossing and go along KY 727 until they Intersect with the line from Fifth Street. Rains had said earlier last year that the project will In- crease water pressure along Fifth Street, Cumberland Falls Road, Corinth Crossing, and in the Tattersall Trails area. Wright said that bidding will probably be, very competitive, but cautioned the board about thinking that the lowest bid would be the best one. In his specs to the commission, Wright included a section that says "only those bidders possessing good work records will be considered." He said he would look favorably on a company that had built four or five similar structures in the last few years, had a good financial record, and could present Rains and himself with a detailed work timetable. The commission voted to accept Wright's plans and specs for the project, and will open them at the March 8 meeting.

In other business, the com- mission opened bids from several companies on the purchase of a sewer hydraulic cleaning machine, mounted on a three-quarter ton truck. The apparent low bidder was the Blankenship Construction who presented a bid of nieetlng next month, to allow members to review the bids on the sewer cleaners.
