TOBACCO 1 EDITION VOLUME 64 Warren Com Choose Comr In Balloting 1 Warren County farmers will go to the polls in each of the 12 townships of the county on next Thursday, September 8, to elect community committee IUCU. This election is described by Walter S. Smiley, ASC chairman for Warren County, as being most important for the proper administration of the *-ASC program in the county. Growers in each township of the county will vote for five members of the community for a slate of officers previously nominated. The person re's ceiving the highest vote in each township will be the community committee chairman and the delegate to the county convention to be held at Warrenton on September 23. The ASC farmer-committeemen selected in the balloting on next Thursday will be responsible in 1961 for the local administration of such national farm programs as the Agricultural Conservation Program, Price Support, Acreage Allotments, Marketing Quotas, Storage facilities and others. Smiley said that it is these men who will see to it that such national programs are fjiuirciiy auupieu IU cunuiuuiis in Warren County and to the farms of the county, and it is the background and experience of these same men that will mingle with that of the 135 thousand ASC t'armer-committeemen in the United States in Voters Can ^ | Prejudice, Lo C ^ Warren County voters can not afford to risk the gains of{ a Democratic victory this fall because of blind prejudice of a?man's?religious?faith;?W, V Lunsford Long, life-long Democratic stalwart, said here on Friday night. Long, a delegate to the National Democratic Convention that elected Senator John Kennedy as the Democratic nominee, was guest speaker at a meeting of the Warrenton Lions Club at Hotel Warren. He was presented by Howard Daniel, program chairman. Present at the meeting was a delegation of some twenty Lions from the Townsville Lions Club. Long told the Lions that there was not a man present who did not know that a Democratic victory this fall would be in the best interest of Warren County and - North Carolina. He said that the Democratic Party has two fine canNational tickets, men worthy of the support of all Demos' crats. ij There is no quarrel with the real Republicans, whom we may respect for their views, Long said, but any Democrat who votes against Senator KenPatrol Seeks Pedestrian Fs .A drive against pedestrian traffic accidents is currently underway in Warren County by the State Highway Patrol.

Growers will be eligible to vote for their community committeemen, alternates, and delegates if they have an interest as owner, operator, tenant or share-cropper, on a farm tha|t is participating or is eligible to participate in any program administered during the current calendar year through their County ASC Committee office. The polls will open in previously designated polling places in each of Warren County's twelve townships on next Thursday at 7 a. m. and close at 6 p. m.

The religion of Kennedy can have no real bearing on the discharge?of his duties aa President, and those -who say different are only appealing to prejudice and bigotry. Long said. If we are going to have a victory this fall, we must work hard for it. Long said as he reviewed the fight of 1928 when A1 Smith, a Roman Catholic, was the Democratic candidate opposing Herbert Hoover for the presidency. Long was living in Halifax County and at the time was exceedingly active in the politics of that county. He said that although all but two Anrnh /Innnmi .??-A buiuvu ucuuuiiuauuiu) v?civ lined up with the foes of Smith and that a number of Southern states voted the Republican ticket for the first time in a/ generation, Halifjx County went overwhelmingly for the Democratic candidate.
