Trash trucks break down Resident* of the various communities surrounding Western Caroline's campus may have noticed the huilcl up of large piles of irash in and around Jackson County's trash containers. The Western Carolinian has been informed this is due to the burning and breakdown of the county's only two sanitation inaks. Seven weeks ago, one of the trucks caught fire and burned on Big Ridge. Jackson County officials said repair work has begun. On November 2.1, the remaining truck's transmission burned up and had to be replaced. Repairs were completed this past Monday, only to have the new transmission fail again yesterday. Officials are hopeful the truck will be operating by Friday. The County's trucks were both 1973 models and with the present condition of the trucks the County is considering purchasing another sanitation truck. no. You had to go do this to your poor father.

You been feedin' her full of that Roman religious crap, fertility and all that hocum? (Hits Joe in the mouth). We're the chosen people you little animal. And it's sick to go around like those Romans, and don't you forget it. (Hits Joe again). Joe walks to the corner tavern to drink a little wine and play backgammon.
