ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE
IN WARRENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, UNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS
"Second Class Postage Paid At W^rrenton, N. C."
SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year, $3.00; Six Months, $1.50
A Fine Example
? At a time when the need for edu
cated citizens is becoming more and
imore apparent, the announcement
:that the Warren cotton ai:d Fertilizer
Company of Warrenton will annually
give two $500 scholarships to students
of Warrenton schools is certainly good
news, and adds to the boost given to
education in Warren County by the
recent announcement that the county
ranked high in the number of boys and
girls who continued their education
beyond the high school levt l. So long
as Warren County is willing to sacri
fice to train its boys and girls we feel
that in the long run other things will
take care of themselves.
C. E. Rodwell, president of the
Warren Cotton and Fertilizer Company,
said that the scholarships are being
awarded in appreciation of the fact
that Warren County citizens have been
good to his company and to him. He
said that identical scholarships are
offered to both white and colored
students in recognition of need of
students of both races and in recogni
tion that his business had been built
upon patronage of both races. This
acknowledged recognition, we think,
reflects credit upon Mr. Rodwell.
The size of the scholarships, wei
think, reflects credit upon the busi
ness sense of Mr. Rodwell. While
even the smallest scholarships help
students in their efforts to obtain a
college education, the fact might as
well be faced that $50.00, $100 and
even $200 scholarships are seldom
decisive as to whether a boy or girl
will attend college. But scholarships
of $500 and more can mean the dif
ference between a college education
and no college education.
In extending the thanks of our citi
zens to Mr. Rodweil and his company,
we trust that his example will en
courage other prosperous citizens of
the town and county to give of their
means for the education of our boys
and girls of both races. Such dona
tions, whether to student loan funds,
to individual school foundations, or to
scholarships can mean a great deal to
public education and to the advance
ment of the county.
Student Stockholders
We were intrigued by the little story
telling how the "Business Principles"
class in the Norridge, 111., High School
wrote to Tulsa's Livingston Oil Co.,
asking for the annual report. It seems
the class chtfgari in and boughl a few
shares of stock iif varicins companies.
It has eight shares of Livingston and
so far has a $16 profit in Uiat stock.
One of America's problems is the
vast amount of ignorance among young
Americans as to how free enterprise
works. Impressions range all the way
trom belief that stockholders are big
profiteers down to the assumption that
the stock market is a slot machine,
only crookeder.
Wouldn't it be healthy if a lot of
high schools followed Norridge's ex
ample? Say you have a class of 40
students. Set up an investment trust
with $1 shares and let each student
buy from five to 10 shares preferably
with money he has earned. If the
average purchase is $7.50 you'd have
$300 to play with. Select an invest
ment committee under the chairmanship
of the teacher. Visit a brokerage
house. Buy shares in three companies
Keep a weekly record of the fluctua
tions. Balance dividends againsl
brokerage fees. At the end of the
year, sell out and let the kids pocket
their profits or take their loss.
Tennis, Anyone?
The sturdy Finns, who think nothing
of skiing 50 miles a day, have dis
colsed a national record that ought to
put to shame Americans caught up in
the 50- mile hike craze.
Ia an international contest with
m in 1941, Finnish women .and
in from 10 to 14 were asked to
to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) in less
one hoar and 40 minutes. Men
were required to walk 15 kilometers
(9.3 miles) in less than two hoars and
20 minstes.
In a 22-day period, 1,500,000 Finns
oat of a total population of 3,700,000
passed the required test. They en
abled their country to defeat Sweden
because "only" 954,000 Swedes com
the test.

It is important to learn that money
isn't easily made by those who share
the opportunities and headaches of
private business. But it is also im
portant to learn that even if your $10

ahead of thfe kid who blew his 10

Warren Native Is Subject Of
Article In Norfolk Newspaper
Miss Rebecca Collins, a
native of Warren County, re-[
cently retired after 43 years
service with W. G. Swart*
in Norfolk, where she was
needlecraft instructor, to
make her home with her
sister, Miss Ann Collins at
i Ridgeway. Her work and her
| retirement were noted by the
I Virginian-Pilot in a feature
article, "Needles Reach End
' of Skein," by Cammy Sessa,
as follows:
By CAMMY SESSA
NORFOLK ? Miss Rebecca
Collins won't be needled into
finishing sweaters anymore.
Her woild of "knit two,
purl two," came to an end
Saturday when she retired as
head of the W. G. Swartz
needle-work department. She
had been the needlecraft in
structor there for 43 years.
During that time, she be
came so interested in the i
projects of her students that j
she often finished knitting;
the garments herself.
But, like the shoemaker's
child, Rebecca Collins never
had any time to make any
thing for herself.
"No one ever gave me a;
handknit garment either," shei
said, bright blue eyes flash;
ing. "They may have pre
sumed I had several."
NO GUESSWORK
John A. Watts III, presi-j
dent of W. G. Swartz, didn't j
make that assumption. He se-,
lected a large, handmade;
needlepoint handbag to pre
sent to Miss Collins as a re |
tirement gift.
"Miss Collins will be diffi-l
cult to replace," Watts said.
"We hate to see her leave."
Not only will company exec-1
utives miss her; Customers!
will as well.
Mrs. William S. Davis, who
claims she's been coming to
Swartz since her mother
brought her as a child, said
that there are plenty of peo
ple who can duplicate her
handwork, but few who have
her patience and sweetness.
Under her direction, the
needlework department wasn't
just a place to buy yarn an<^
needles. It was a place where
the novice could learn to cast
on stitches for her first hand
made sweater, a young wife
could untangle bobbins for
husband's argyle socks, and
grandmothers could crochet
the first pair of booties for
a new arrival.
The big table in the center
of this department was a
friendly place where women
could sit and socialize while
learning to knit.
"This department was like
my home," Rebecca Collins
said. "My customers all be
came ny friends.
It wasn't unusual for wo
men to come from Franklin,
Suffolk and North Carolina
towns to spend the entire
day in the needlework de
partment.
Rebecca taught knitting
classes for the YWCA as
well.
GREAT GIFT
"No matter whom she
taught, her great gift was
patience," said a friend, Miss
Delia Grey.
Her patience wore thin at
times, Hobecca admitted.
"Regardless how often I
would say, "knit two, purl,!
two," women would start to
purl first," she said. "But I
always made them pull out
the bad stitches."
She was so vehement about1
ripping out students'mistakes,'
