High Point Wins War Over Randolph Zoning Bill
Guilford Rep James Morgan recalls a zoning bill for High Point area near Randolph County after it passed the House. He aims to keep it alive by keeping the measure in committee to pressure Randolph officials to zone the area or risk renewed push in the 1978 session. City officials favor state law leveling zoning for the three mile fringe.

Lawmakers seek 5 million in contingency funds for Kernersville water
Forsyth Senator Carl Totherow and Representative Ned Smith plan a bill to devote 5 million dollars of state contingency funds to Kernersville. It funds a permanent Winston-Salem water line and reservoir cleanup as authorities search for vandals who released toxins into the town reservoir. Federal disaster relief may follow as Carter weighs a declaration. Sheriff Lancaster says a strong lead could bring arrests this week in the Destructo Chemway vandalism. EPA scientists in Georgia identify the toxic substance’s molecular weight while noting fish may return but the lake might not again serve as a water source. Two alternate water supplies keep Kernersville afloat for about 30 days.
