<2ttp Barrett Herorii Published Every Friday By The Record Printing Company BIGNALL JONES, Editor ? DUKE JONES, Business Manager Member North Carolina Press Association ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN WARRENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, UNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS "Second Class Postage Paid At Warrenton, N. p." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year, $3.00; Six Months $1.50 Should Dredge River Strong support for a barge chan nel in the Roanoke River from Wil li am ston to Weldon was voiced at a public hearing at Roanoke Rapids last Friday. Proponents of the channel said it would greatly enhance the north east section of the State and sur rounding areas and that use of the River by barges would be an in centive to industrial expansion and provide a boost to sagging agricul ture and recreation. Cost of the channel, which ex tends through six counties, is esti mated at approximately $30 million for dredging and navigation locks. The hearing, sponsored by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, was conducted by Col. Beverly C. Snow, Jr., of Wilmington. We feel that the construction of this project should receive the back ing of citizens of all Northeastern North Carolina, where the need fcr stimulation of industry is the most needed, and that it should also re ceive the backing of Warren Coun ty citizens as cheaper transporta tion rates to nearby Weldon could have a favorable effect on the econ omy of this county. People are becoming increasing ly sensitive to government spend ing for any purpose, but while $30 million dollars is still an appre ciable sum it is not a great sum measured by government stand ards and it would be money well spent and it is quite possible that over the years the government would receive its money back through the development of a section. True eco nomy, it has been said, is not in saving but in the wise expenditure of money. We feel that such would be the case in the construction of the barge channel on the Roanoke. Parents Help Needed, Principal Says The help of parents is es sential if the schools are to do a good job, a school prin cipal told members of the Warrenton Lions Club at its meeting here on last Friday night.

The child entering school, he said, has his first contact away from home and his parents and he must learn to play with other children, to take care of him self and learn. Kindergarten training is a wonderful help to the child as it prepares the child for entering school, he said, and added that he hopes the state will add this to the school system In the near future. Sports play an Important part in the schools, Bartholo mew said in closing. The les sons a student learns on the playing field not only helps him in school and with his ad justments with his fellow stu dents but the lessons learned are beneficial throughout life.
