The commissioners <aid that Dr. Kornegay has done a fine job in this position. but it is recognized that his limited time did not permit the full functioning of the. department.

I The story which began' around 11:30 at Norlina on Saturday night ended in a. cow pasture between Ridegway and the Vance County line around "4:30 on Sunday "morn ing. It started when Dorseyi Capps, Norlina night police of- j ficer, walked into the Norlina] bus station around 11:30 oni Saturday night where he found that William Harvey Gamble, 16. of Kenlock, Penn., had just attempted to swap a spare) tire for gasoline. The officer t asked for the boy's driver's! license and was told that he; had lost it. Capps told the boy that he would have to go with him to! the office of Noland Hudgins, magistrate, and with Deputy Sheriff Bonnie Stevenson driv-j ing the car, took the boy to j the magistrate's office, where they phoned a Virginia town,, the name of which was not; known to Deputy Stevenson' Fashion Show Is Described As A Complete Success The Woman's Club Fashion Show held at the Armory on Friday night was described by Mrs. Duke Miles this week as being a decided success.

While the officers were so engaged, the boy went to the door to toss awav a chewine gum wrapper, and followed the' wrapper out of the open door' and eluded the officers. After finding out that the car driven by the boy had been stolen, the officers began a search for their former, prisoner that lasted for several hours and took them along^ Highway N'o. 1 as far as the Vance County line before they turned back towards Norlina. As the officers arrived at Ridge way around 4 o'clock on Sunday morning, they noticed a light burning in the service station of Frances Ingram and stopped to investigate. Here they were told by Ingram that he had just driven a burglar from his combination store and service station. Awakened by a noise in the store part of the building. Ingram had startled the intruder who had fled. Again the officers started their search, driving toward the Vance County line. As they neared the line they saw , Gamble standing beside the j road seeking to thumb a ride. I Buyers And 5 a ?i I T~ D? noivcu t u i\c Those who sell or buy a farm or any part of the farm land for any purpose are asked to notify the county ASC office promptly. T. E. Watson, ASC office manager, said yesterday. He said that it is the county ASC committee's responsibility under the marketing quota regulations to see that all farms are properly constituted. Watson said that there are probably some cases in the county where farm land has been sold for residential purposes or for other non-agricultural purposes and not reported to the ofice and no division of the farm has been made. Unless land is acquired by an agency that has the right of eminent domain, it is required that the allotment be divided, even though the land is removed from agricultural production, Watson said. Watson said that the ASC committee has been instructed to make a review of farm land that has been sold for non-agricultural purposes within the last four years. Where cropland is involved, he said, a division of the allotment will be made based on the cropland at the time of the transaction.

Also a ack of practical nurses also prolongs the stay of such ?ases. One of the functions of he health department, Capps idded, is to conduct clinics for ,'xpcctant mothers where they ire taught pre-natal care. Capps said that it is freely reported here that Dr. Robert Huntley, Dr. Thomas Holt and Dr. L. VV. Kornegay will leave VVarrenton should the hospital be closed. He said it would be tragic for this to happen and felt the county should do everything in its power to keep the hospital in operation. One Warrenton physician, commenting on the action of Commits Down As the car halted, the boy recognized the officers and fled across a nearby cow pasture. But this time he reckoned without the young and fleetfooted Capps and the chase lasted for only about two hundred yards, which considering the boy's start was not bad. Deputy Stevenson somewhat older and heavier, said that he was bringing up the rear. The boy was brought to Warronton and Tod;/ed in jail and was given a hearing in Recorder's Court on Thursday morning. At the hearing he was bound over to Warren County Seperior Court and returned to jail. Breaking into a building where the occupant is sleeping in the night time is a capital crime. The officers found as a result of contacting police in the Virginia town where the car had been stolen, that the boy had broken into a garage where he stole a car key. That outside the garage he took a license plate from a car and fitted it to the car which his key fitted, stole the car and drove it to Norlina where he tried to swap a tire for gasoline at the Norlina bus station. sellers Are port Sales Farm Editor Is Speaker At Inez Club Meeting Bill Humphries, farm editor of The News and Observer, was guest speaker at the April meeting of the Inez Community Club held at the community building on Monday night. He was presented by Frank Reams, Warren County farm agent. Humphries cited census figures to show that the farm population i s decreasing in every census and stated that he expected this trend to continue, due to the increased efficiency of the farmer. He said that another trend was for farms to become larger and more mechanized and he also expected this trend to continue as the farmers seek to compete in an economy of volume production. He held out no remedies for the farmer's problems, but only cited trends in farming as he developed his Ihomp nf "Wklph Wa? /at icrrl. culture." Prior to Humphries talk a short business session was held during which committee reports were heard. Mrs. Frederick Williams, club president, presided over the meeting. Following the talk, refreshments were served by a group of ladies from the community.

He said that the employment , of the health officer and nursef would not guarantee the continued operation of the hos' pital, but was one of a number , of essential steps necessary to improve the health climate of ! the county, and was necessary if the hospital is to stay open. This physician said that the hospital needed more and bet; tor paid personnel. He said that if two additional phy sicians could be obtained here that the hospital problem would be largely solved, but it is uiimv;uii iu uoiaui uocwra whore factors operate against their success. He described this as lack of support for both hospital and physicians and said that the charity load required of both is disheartening. Partly to i blame for this condition, he i held, is failure of farmers to | guarantee the payment of I medical bills of their tenants j and to work with and encour| age their tenants to take hospital insurance. I The people of Warren Coun| ty, he continued, have got to make a decision. They can either depend on neighboring ; towns for their hospital servor they can support their hosi pital and their local physicians, i This can only be done through | increased taxes and better fi| nancial support of their doctors Whether or not this will be done, he added, is something that the people of Warren County must decide.
