FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1967 NUMBER 4 Davis Named Director Enforcement Officers From Six-County Area Form Coooerative Bodv Law enforcement officers from Granville County have helped organize a special multt-county group designed to improve training programs affecting officers of the mem ber counties. Officers from a six-county area met in Henderson last week to form the Kerr Lake Law Enforcement Officers Association. Counties repre sented are Granville, Person, Vance, Warren, Franklin and Halifax. The New Organization will provide "a wonderful op portunity for the smaller de partments which do not have the volume to become involved In extended training pro grams," Person County Sheriff Cliff Palmer, an offi cer of the association, said. Other law enforcement of ficers named to direct the as sociation are: J. R, Wllker son, Henderson chief of police, president; Palmer, vicepres ldent; and Johnny Bobbltt, Henderson police officer, sec retary. Two Granville County of ficers were named to the as sociation's Board of Direc tors. They are Sheriff J. C. Cash and Oxford Police Chief Doug White. Other board members are Roxboro Police Chief G. C. Robinson, Vance Sheriff L. B. Faulkner, Loulsburg Police Chief Earl Tharington, Franklin Sheriff William De ment, Roanoke Rapids Police Chief J. Y. Duffey, Wake For est Police Chief Harry New som, Warren Sheriff Clarence Davis and Halifax Sheriff J. R, Daniel. Theerowing awareness that law tfi&'cement Is a highly speclSfzed profession re quiring technical training was cited as the reason for form ing the group. "Every department Is con cerned, just as we are, that people deserve the best they can get. Law enforcement In no longer a matter of just carrying a badge," Palmer said. The Kerr Lake group will work In conjunction with the community college program in Initiating the training schools. Instructors will be furnished by the community college and the first school is slated for March 20-April 14 at Hender son, consisting of 120 hours of instruction. Areas of study Include courts and laws, elements of offense, laws of arrest, search and seizure, laws governing evidence and the general prin ciples of criminal law, motor vehicle laws, liquor laws, police administration, human relations and juveniles and the law. Palmer pointed out that the instructors, employed by the Community College, under stand the every-day problems of law enforcement, being SBI employees, special agent and law officers themselves. Cost to the counties would be minimal, being travel ex penses and a $10 tuition fee. The training school is based upon criteria agreed upon by both the community college and the Kerr Lake group. The co-ordinated efforts of the sheriff, police and ABC forces?in?each?uf the?stx~ counties will provide the op portunity for every depart ment to maintain highlytraln ed staff at all times, since the school wlllbe onarotatlon basis. Measles Day Clinic To Be Held The Warren County Health Department will hold another '^Stop Measles Day" at the Health Center on Tuesday, Jan. 31, from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. Dr. Lloyd Harrison, health director, asks that parents who have a child from one through six years of age to take their child to the Health Center next Tuesday for the measles vaccine. Parents who are not positive about their child having had measles to check the following symptoms: White spots noted on inside of mouth which are followed by redness of eyes, cough, rash, very high temperature. This type fever usually lasts seven or more days, he said. 5 Common measles Incidence $>ln 1966 hit a new 21-year low as a result of efforts of the private physicians, pub lic health departments and the U. S. Public Health Service to V ) vaccinate rusceptlble child ren, Dr. Harrison said. If the remaining "several million" children unprotect ed from measles are vaccinat ed before the spring measles season, the prediction is that 1967 can be the year the U. S. wipes out common measles, according to Dr. William H. Stewart, U. S. Surgeon Gen eral. Since vaccines against com mon measles became avail able In March, 1963, more than 15 million children have been protected against this poten tially dangerous disease. Still, 1966 saw 3.7 million babies i that will need lmmuniza t when they reach their first birthday. The "Stop Measles Day" which has been held by the Warren County Health Depart ment and health departments in many other counties will help to account for the large decrease in the death rate from measles in 1967, Dr. Harrlsoa said, m 1964, he said there were 431 deaths reported thai resulted from ?BMSlM.

Three young women from Finland who visited Mr. and Mrs. Bob Butler during the weekend are shown with Mrs. Butler seated on the steps of their home on Cousin Lucy's Lane Sunday afternoon. Seated, left to right, are Mrs. Pirkko Kuurne of Helsinki, Miss Pirkko Korkala of Oulu, Mrs. Butler, and Mrs. Eirra Terbomaa of Helsinki. Three Young Women From Finland Spend Weekend At Butler Home A young woman from Fin land who visited Warrenton six years ago when she was an Exchange Girl Scout from Fin land to this country, again was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Butler during the weekend. Mrs. Plrkko Kuurne of Hel sinki, now married, was ac companied to thehomeofMrs. Butler by Mrs. Eirra Terbomaa of Helsinki and Miss Perkko Kerkala of Oulu, Finland. The three young wo men have recently completed a six months course in phy sical therapy at the Kaiser Kehabilitatlori center fiT Vallejo, Calif., and after visit ing friends in Georgia, Ral eigh and Mr. and Mrs. But ler In Warrenton, flew back to Finland on Monday night from New York. In Georgia their car broke down and they sold it, and made the journey from War renton to New York by bus Monday. Sitting outdoors at the But ler home on Sunday the three young ladles contrasted the balmy day of midwinter with the snow and cold of Finland at this season of the year. Actually, they said, snow does not begin to fall in Finland until early January, but the ground is covered with snow until April. During the sum mer months the temperature rises to the upper BO'S, but the growing season of four ?nonths is so short that the lumber of crops grown Is very restrictive. Principal :rops are wheat, barley, beets md potatoes. Milk , they said is the fav 5rite drink of the population, and this results in many and large dairy herds. The popu lation also consumes beer and jin-like drink they said was Jistilled from wood. In addi :ion there is some consump :ion of Vodka imported from Russia and whiskeys imported [rom other countries. Ham Durgers, hotdogs and other American foods arepopular in Finland. The reindeer are ised for meat and for draw ing sleighs in the Lapland section of the country, near where Miss Korkala lives. The cities of Finland are similar to cities found in this country and are growing rapidly, the ycung ladies said, >ut most of the inhabitants live n apartments as they must )e built to withstand the bitter :old of winter. Most of the lutomobiles are compact size with the German Volkswagen i favorite. Apples, the only [ruit, as well as coffee, a avorite drink, and tea, have o be imported. Finland also mports its tobacco for the arge number of cigaret smokers, they said. The forests are Finland's >rincipal source of Income ind paper and woods from its Traffic Cases Tried In County Court Ail but two of the sixteen cases called for trial In War ren County Recorder's Court last Friday were concerned with violations of the motor vehicle law& In one of the cases, Mary Helen Vaughan, charged with assault and with using pro fane language, failed to appear in court. Judgment absolute on her bond was ordered. In the other case ? Mary Thomas Petitioner, vs. Eddie Thomas, respondent - the court issued the following order: "It appearing that the defendant is in arrears in his payments under order of Court, It is ordered that he appear in this court on Fri day, January 27, 1967. Let capias issue accordingly." Emanuel Amos Kearney was found guilty of #Uowlng an In toxicated person to operate his motor vehicle, and was or dered to pay a $100 fine and court costs. Leroy Moses Steed, alias Charlie Palmer, was order ed to pay a $25 fine and court costs when he pled guilty to a charge at reckless driving.

David, $10 and oosts; Larry Steve Manner, forests are shipped all over the world. In addition there are many textile plants and some heavy industry, but all ores and coal have to be im ported. The young women spoke and understood English, even the Southern drawl, without any difficulty. They said that they studied English in High School where it is an elective sub ject. They also studied Ger man and other subjects as electlves. Russian is also an elective in the Finish high schools,- but the young women-1 did not take this course. The people of Finland are not too much disturbed by the Russians who are their neighbors, and Finland car ries on regular trade with the communists. "Why should we worry about the Russians," they said, "when we know that if they wish to overrun our country we can not stop them". Finland has a republican form of Government, with only one house of parliament. The president is elected for six years and may succeed him self. There are a number of splinter parties and six maj or parties, Including the communist party, which has representation in parliament. The socialistic party is per haps the strongest party in the country, and the com munist party has failed to show much growth. During summer the sun shines all the time and for a period there is no night. Asked how they could get their courting done when there is no moon, Miss Korkala said with animation, "Oh, you just ought to see our August moon." The blond young women could easily pass for Ameri cans. They expressed the hope that they might again some day return to America and were insistent that Mr. and Mrs. Butler visit them in Finland. Mrs. Butler said, "We might just do that."

"I tried to calm him," she said, "but his mind had gone blank and he was laugh ing like he was out of his mind."

Daniel is a pat ient to Dak* Hospital la Dur he to Warren County school bus drivers may have their sal aries practically doubled un der the temporary federal rul ing that will permit under 18-year-old students to oper ate the buses until the end of the present school year. J. Roger Peeler, Warren school superintendent, said yesterday that he did not know just what the pay of the student drivers would be pending a check of the hours driven. He said that pay for the drivers would probably range from $50 to $80 a month. Student drivers in Warren County are at present receiv ing a salary of $30 a month, but the government has ruled that their pay must be at a minimum of a dollar an hour. Following announcement by Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz last week that under 18-year-old students would be temporarily allowed to oper ate the buses under the $1 an hour wage scale,. it was estimated that the average raise for these drivers would be around 80 per cent. Peeler said that this figure would likely be exceeded in Warren County due to the length of several of the school bus routes. He said that in addition to the 72 students and three adult drivers, salaries of maids will also be increas ed and that lunchroom per sonnel would get some In crease. Around 18 maids are employed In the schools. Bus drivers, maids and lunchroom personnel are paid by the state. PHeler said thaf~ the only direct cost to the county brought about by the government order will be in the maintenance department of the schools. Persons in ^these departments working more than 44 hours a week will have to be paid time and a half for overtime, he said. At the present time, he said, no overtime is being paid. The suspension of the ruling that students under 18 years of age could not drive school buses after Feb. 1, removed a grave threat that many of Warren's school buses could not be operated because of inability to secure adult driv ers in sufficient numbers. North Carolina and South Carolina will be allowed to continue indefinitely using pupils under the age of 18 as school bus drivers. Governor Dan Moore and State Supt. of School Charles Carroll have been In Washing ton this week conferring with Secretary Wirtz in an effort to have him make his temporary ruling on school bus operators permanent. Secretary Wirtz said on Thursday of last week he was suspending action on a new regulation which would have forbidden use of the students as school bus drivers. His action ?"ected North Caro lina, South Carolina, Virginia and 14 other states. Wirtz said he wants to ob tain information on operations In the various states and will decide after the survey, ex pected to be completed by July, whether to make the ref utation permanent or to drop the limitation. mi i1 ACCEPTS POSITION William V.
