No more 'at home' work By Kathe Archdeacon News Journal Staff Writer The head of the county agency that hired outgoing. Special Events Coordinator Ron Mosier said Thursday that in the future he won't allow workers in his program to do their jobs from offices on their own property as Mosier had. Such arrangements are "100 detrimental on the program," said Max Weaver, Public Service Employment Program administrator, because questions arise about such an employee regardless of whether he has been doing his job properly.

Mosier said Wednesday he had resigned from his post, but did not disclose his reasons for doing so. Weaver said it was his understanding that Mosier had been allowed to work outside county offices because there were no county facilities available with the darkroom and recording facilities Moser needed. Mosier served as special events coordinator since April 1977. His job was funded through the PSEP program, which receives its money from the federal government. Mosier's position centered on promotional and public relations activities on behalf of the county.

County executive Ben Hall McFarlin supervised Mosier and could not be reached for comment today. Weaver said that PSEP workers "generally do not work out of their homes" or offices, and "they should never have established" Moser there. "It's not good business," Weaver said, and won't happen a again. Mosier could not be reached today for comments In recent days, questions have. arisen about Mosier's position and how he has been furnished office supplies and equipment.

Budget office information shows that since the 1977-78 fiscal year, Mosier has received approximately $1,200 worth of supplies and equipment through the county executive's accounts.

The Building bids to be opened By Terri Kaminski News Journal Staff Writer Bids for the new judicial building will be opened April 4 in County Executive Ben Hall McFarlin's office, the Public Works Commitee unanimously decided Thursday night.

The $2.5 million project will house courtrooms courts and court offices and allow room for expansion in the five story structure. Morton and Associates a Nashville architectural firm, presented blueprints for the project, pointing out a few areas that still require some work. Architect Howard Morton said the county must decide on a place for storage of building materials. He suggested the county "allocated an area" on the Square and on College Street, which would establish one lane traffic through that area which construction is in progress. "That problem has to be resolved as soon as possible," morton said.

"I should have brought it up at an earlier meeting." Chairman John Mankin agreed to contact Murfreesboro City Manager Clyde Fite on possible storage of materials in the suggested areas. Morton said roofs of neigh- Agency bans spray WASHINGTON (UPI) Citing an alarming link between the herbicide 2.4.5-T and miscarriages in women, the Environmental Protection Agency Thursday invoked a rarely used emergency power to halt most uses of the poison before the spring spraying season can begin. Barbara Blum, deputy EPA administrator. said new studies in the Alsea Basin area of Oregon show a high miscarriage rate among women shortly after the poison was used in forests in that area. "This alarming corelation comes at a time when 7 million pounds of 2.4.5-T are to be used across the nation to control weeds on power lines rights-ofway, to manage forest lands, and to control weeds in pastures." she said.

The agency issued an emergency suspension the most dramatic power it can exercise under the law to halt most uses of the poison before an estimated million persons could be exposed to it. While the suspension remains in effect. studies will be made. to determine whether the herbicide should permanently banned. In the interim the only legal uses of 2.4.5-T will be on range land and rice where the agency, said.

In addition, EPA said it is suspending permission to use a related pesticide called silvex because, it said, it has some of the same problems as. and could be used as an alternative for use since the other poison is suspended. In both cases. EPA said, the poisons contain a chemical called TCDD, a.

dioxin which has shown to cause severe reproductive effects on laboratory animals. In 1970 the government banned the use of 2.4,5-T for the control of broadleaf weeds in the home and garden recreational areas and aquatic sites. Since that time. the herbicide has been mainly used in forest management and along railroad and power line rights-of-way to control unwanted trees. Library report According to a recent study a typical library patron visits the library more than three times a month and borrows one or two books each visit.

However, there are many who read 50 or more books a Most of these readers are women. Fiction is the favorite type of book for many of the ladies who visit Linebaugh Library regularly. Deborah Leigh Carroll and Mrs. James Ridley enjoy reading novels of all types. Mary Jo Rogers, a secretary, reads mostly romantic suspense and spy mysteries.

Historical fiction is the choice of Mrs. E. H. Taylor, a former teacher and curator. Laura Livingston, assistant director of forensics at MTSU, selects books from all sections of the library.

Mrs. Harlon B. Hargis enjoys non-fiction especially books on antiques and china. Mrs. J.

E. Snell is participating in the Home MTCS honor students boring buildings must also be checked to ascertain their condition before work can begin on the judicial building. Morton said it is a preventive measure to protect the builders against any damage suits that may be filed for alleged damage to the roofs. Specifications for the judicial building call for electric heating elevators at the front and rear of the building, a sprinkler system and "sound controled" construction to afford privacy in court and jury rooms. Two statues sculped from stone will be set to either side the building's entrance; one of "Justice" and the other of the "Justice" and the other of the American and State flags.

an In other action, commissioners voted 5-2 to approve a request for $10,000 by County Clerk Sonny Elam to refurnish his office. The request must now go before the Budget Commissoin for approval. Elam was moved to the Murfreesboro Bank and Trust Building in recent weeks, where he will remain indefinitely or until the old court house- is eventually renovated. "In the last four years I've done very little about office furniture and cabinets," Elam told commissioners. "I'd like to fix the office up to look efficient, -a place where people can come to conduct their business." Elam said today in a telephone interview that the furniture he needs could more aptly be described as office equipment.
