Manufactured Home Builder
Holding Open House July 18
, KEN AUVIL
i Grafton Manufactured Housing is
i expanding in the Eastern Panhandle,
i accoreding to Ken Auvil, who says that
by winter he plans to positon the Graf-
• .ton "Home Team" to help meet the
: ousing need of the growing Eastern
: panhandle.
: Grafton Manufactured Housing is an
"up from the ashes" company form-
ed from the core of New Era Homes
after it was destroyed by fire in
December, 1985. The "Home Team"
his produced 1700 structures, homes,
motels, apartments, classrooms in
West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania
and Maryland.
Auvil says that they/iave recently
tested the market with a limited
brokerage program and now plan to
expand full home sales and construc-
tion services to the Eastern
Panhandle. : ::
"Home Team" projects in the region
include several homes in Martinsubrg,
Bolivar, Berkeley Springs, Sharp-
sburg, Winchester, Berryville, and
Toms Brook, Sea solar homes at Cool-
font and Whitings Neck, classrooms at
Berkeley Sprinss, Capon Bridge and
Augusta, a dmit motel addition to
Town House East in Charles Town, a
72-trait odge at Edgewood, Md.,
a -unit motel at Laurel, Md., and an
8-unit addition to Terrace Motel in
Elkridge, Md.
Auvil says that Grafton Manufac ....
tured Housing is a uniquely different,
high-quality modular manufacturing
company in that it builds what the
buyer wants. It can match the design,
quality and specification of any com-
pany, but offers a variety of options
and designs so the buyer can
"customize" his home.
A VIP Open House for interested
builders, brokers, developers and
lenders wil be held on Monday, July 18
from 1 to 9 p.m. at their tri-level model
home. The model is located on Route
€5 between Martinsburg and
Shepherdstown. Anyone interested is
encouraged to attend.

Welcome back to the Senior Center
to Alice Pendleton and Lula Walker.
They beth traveled to Wheeling for eye
surgery and they are doing fine and
dandy. Alice is the official tea lady for
the staff in the office. We were afraid
Beverly Basore would die from thirst
before Alice made it back. Every day,
like clockwork, tea magically appears
and Bey perks up. It all rather
reminds you of the way the flowers
looked before the rain Tuesday
morning.
The Concerned Citizens Against
Drugs are sponsoring a "Just Say No
To Drugs" in Ranson Saturday, July
23, at the Ranson Elementary School
from 12 to 4. WXVA will host the event
and provide the music. There will also
be games, door prizes, speakers, food
and drinks. All proceeds from the day
will be used for the education of the
children in the Ranson school. Please
take the time to stop by and support
the local police and these interested
citizens.
The convention delegation from
Jackson Perks Post and Unit 71 has
returned from the Department con-
vention. Information for the coming
Lgi/Auxiliary year was distributed
during a meeting packed four days.
Unit 71 received special recognition
for its Field Service work and publici-
ty. One of the highlights of the conven-
tion was an appearance by A. James
Manchin, secretary of the treasury. He
gave one of his usual eloquent
speeches on patriotism, mother and
his love of country. It is ironic that a
West Virginia treasurer should be
Secretary of the Treasuery. Depart-
ment President Irene Weber was
honored by receiving a certificate and
medal naming her an official public
friend to West Virginia.
The next official business for Unit 71
will be to prepare for the coming year.
Programs are directed by the National
organization and local units then work
to fit them to their local community.
Helen Terry and I will be attending the
Fall board meeting in Bridgeport and
the meetings seem to go on and on and
on.
I know that you faithful readers of
this column have been waiting with
sucked-in breath for a fish update. I
am happy to announce that both of my
original fish are doing well, and we
adopted a type of catfish and an
orange snail. I have trained the fish to
swim to the top of th tank when they
see me heading their way, rather the
same way my dog sits by the kitchen
table when food appears. They are fed
twice a day and they are increasing in
size. They do tend to look hungry most
of the time, and Bill gets the same top
swim response when he approaches
the tank. Who can tell ff a fish is tell-
ing the truth when he says he's
hungry ! !

-There has been great news receiv-
ed on the "Garbage War". Magistrate
Gall Viands reported to the County
Clean-Up Committee that permission
has been received to have misde-
meanor offenders put on trash pick-up
detail instead of imposing a quickly
forgotten fine or placing them in jail.
The offender would he sentenced to X
urs of community service work col-
lecting trash along the state roads and
highways. The county has the poten-
tial of having hundreds of "Trash
Troopers", no matter how unwilling,
and perhaps a real dent can he made
il cleaning the county. This sentence
would only apply when no serious
crime was committed, or when no
mandatory jail sentence was called
for.
LDuring the last county-wide trash
day 636 truckloads of garbage were
taken to the landfill. The cars and
trucks were lined up down Leetown
Road and definite progress was made
around the county. November 5 has
been marked as the next all-out effort
td pick up trash for winter. I'm not
sure if the dump will cancel the fee for
that day, but keep reading the Ranson
News to stay current. (What a sneaky
way to increase readership! )
: The Senior Sunshine CTm¢ enter-
inecl recently at the Old Charles
Town Library. Seniors Vergie Oft,
Grace and Isiah Allen, Marie Griffith,
ttie Longerbeam, Catherine Carter,
:Icloma Wright, Hazel Rose, Joe Taylor,
l:teadow Harris, Brooks Evans, Zenia
Hilliard and John and Rosalie Willis
were the featured entertainment for
the afternoon progam. Wallis Magaha
presented each senior with a red car-
nation at the conclusion of the singing.
TJis program is just one of the many
tKat will be presented by Anna
$hrewbridge, Librarian, during the
Summer reader programs.
Lois Mackey and Bertha Holmes
returned home Monday night from
another of their frequent trips. They
-aveled to Arcade, N. Dak. to visit
with Bertha's son Robert Stasio and
family. Son Michael drove in from
B{Lttle Creek, Mich., and completed
the family get-together. While they
Were in Arcade, Bdm and Lois at-
tended a concert given by Bobby Vin-
ton. He sang to them in five languages
and they reported they enjoyed the
show tremendously. Bertha's grand-
daughter also made new combs for
Bertha's hair. The eye should now con-
centrate on which ear the flower rests.
Flowers over one ear means "I'm in-
terested" and the other ear means
"Drop dead". I'll never know the
message she's giving out... I forget
which ear means what.
