0ll?r Siarrett SJprnri) 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. C." CTTRCPPT PTT n V D A TPQ ? ONE YEAR. 53.00; SIX MONTHS, $1.50 I\ir 1 1 C-O . OUT OF STATE: ONE YEAR. $4.00; SIX MONTHS. $2.00 Should Combine Efforts The choosing of South Boston, Va., as the site of a $20,000,000 plant, suggests that without relinquishing our efforts to obtain plants in our own county, that it might be well if we could form an area promotional body made up of several counties in an ef fort to draw this type plant into our area. A start has been made in this direction by the Gaston Lake De velopment Association, composed of Warren. Halifax and Northamp ton Counties, which is working to promote the development of Gaston Lake with some degree of success already, and promise of such more to come. It seems to us a similar phut could be worked out embracing these three counties with the addition of Vance, into the Roanoke Develop ment Association, calling upon the four counties for leadership and financial support of an organiza tion large enough to go after the more substantial industries, ones that tend to hire men and large enough to attract the most capa ble type of executives who could make a real contribution to the section. At a time when county lines are becoming less important and the automobile has reduced dis tance it seems to us that such an organization should be entirely fea sible. A government project now under study and giving considerable pro mise of completion is to dredge the Roanoke River to permit navi gation to Weldon, and its comple tion would do a great deal to streng then the appeal that the four counties could make as the site for large manufacturing com panies. The area has tremendous water resources in Kerr and Gaston Lakes, is tapped by two four-lane inter state highways, has good rail fa cilities, and if the Roanoke is dreg ed as planned would have barge facilities at Weldon, accessible to the area. In addition the two lakes afford wonderful rbcreation for workers and executives alike and good golf courses, hospitals, and schools are to be found in the four counties. Carolina Sportswear Factory and Peck Manufacturing Company at Warrenton and Jay-Too at Little ton are making a real contribution to the development of the county, but the spread of their payrolls and their pull on the labor pool does not cover many miles. What this section needs is a banding of our resources to work for plants such as DuPont in Eastern North Carolina, or Westinghouse in Ral eigh. plants that employ thousands and big enough to influence develop ment of an entire area, and let the individual counties continue to work for smaller plants. All Kids At Heart Charlotte Observer In the six and a half decades since 1902, the vast and still growing food industry has undergone one change after another. Diets are different. The independent whole saler and retailer have largely given way to the supermarket. Countless thousands of new products, dressed up in new packaging, have made their way to the shelves, some of them to stay, some to disappear. It was in that year that the National Biscuit Company introduced its little box of "Animal Crackers"?little cookies but in the shape of 13 animals, herded together in a little red circus wagon . . . The recipe is still the same. The box was changed once?in 1911. Nabisco today markets more than 300 products but only 24 outsell the little Barnum boxes. Why? Nabisco doesn't know. Perhaps something of the child is always within us so that we keep buying "Animal Crackers" for a generation of youngsters who will never see a circus wagon roll down Main Street. Whatever the reason, it's sort of comfort ing to knov that in an age of such rapid and total change, a few things remain con stant. Why Taxes Are High The Smithfield Herald To hear some of the politicians talk you would think that the Federal Govern ment Is about to bankrupt Itself by Its spending to fight poverty. Sargent Shriver, director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, put Government spending in perspective Monday when he was interviewed on television. If all anti-poverty programs were elimi nated, the saving would amount to one cent and a half for each $1 of taxes. Mr. Shriv er compared this saving with the 75 cents of each tax dollar that the Federal taxpay er would save If he did not have to bear the expense of past and present wars plus the cost of preparing for possible future wars. Mr. Shriver has a point when he says that If we can spend 75 per cent of Fed eral monies on military wars, surely we can afford to spend 1.5 per cent on a war to free American people from poverty.

North Warren High School Student Among Finalists in Scholastic Program A student at North Warren High School is among 1,028 finalists nationwide in the Na tional Achievement Scholar ship Program for outstanding Negro students, Principal G.

The program Is administered by the Na tional Merit Scholarship Cor poration. Over 35,000 Negro students from more than 4,500 schools were considered in the fourth Achievement Program. About 3,500 candidates were nomi nated directly by their schools and an additional 2,000 endorsed for candidacy by their schools after request ing consideration on the basis Student Named To State Office Veronica C. Davis, a jun ior at North Warren High School, was installed as State Treasurer of the North Car olina Association of Stuaent Councils for 1968 in a simple but impressive ceremony at the 17th annual State Con ference in Greensboro on Nov. 17, Principal G. H. Washing ton announced Monday. The three day meeting open ed Sunday on the A. & T. State University campus. Subse quent meetings were held at the Greensboro Public Lib rary and the O'Henry Hotel. Delegates and Advisors to the conference explored and dis cussed diverse problems which relate to human rela tions, scholarship and academic achievement, social graces and prerequisites for leadership in our changing society. The Conference program featured consultants and stu dent panelists from Greens boro's leading colleges and Universities in group discus sions with student council leaders serving as coordina tors and recorders, Washing ton said.

The 1968 Achievement Scholars, to be announced next March, will be chosen from among the Finalists. Two hun dred National Achievement Scholarships are underwritten by Ford Foundation grant funds and additional awards are povlded by sponsors. In the 1967 program, 55 spon sors underwrote 89 Achieve ment Scholarships. Names of the commended students were sent to all U. S. accredited colleges and uni versities in September. Fur ther information on each Finalist will be sent to the colleges he has indicated a specific Interest in attending. These reports help colleges in their efforts to locate talent ed Negro students, accord ing to Lane. "Many colleges," Lane said, "have expanded their school visiting programs to include the schools from which Finalists and commended stu dents come. This improves the students' chances for college admission and for financial aid." Financial need is not con sidered in selecting Achieve OR IN DA SMITH merit Finalists and scholar ship winners, but does govern how much financial help a winner receives. Startingwith information supplied by the candidate and his family, the student's need is calculated on a formula which takes into account such factors as family income and assets, other chil dren In college, unusual ex penses, debts, and the cost of attending the college chosen by the student. The sum each win ner receives is not made pub lic. The Achievement Program was created by a $7 million Ford Foundation grant to Na tional Merit Scholarship Cor poration in 1964.

WARRENTON, N. C. In Memory Of OSSIAN E. ELLIS who departed this life November 2, 1961 HIS WIFE & CHILDREN THE FIRST THANKSGIVING 0. Pur Pilgrim Fathers experimented with socialism their first two years in America. Every man worked in the fields and each shared the harvest equally?from the most ambitious and industrious to even the laziest and least productive. During those bitter first two years, Governor Bradford in his history observed that food was scarce, and the Pilgrims often went to bed not knowing if they would have anything to eat the next day. After this disastrous experiment, the Pilgrims tried what today we call "free enterprise." And of this, Bradford re marked: "God In His wisdom saw another course fitter for them." This new course permitted each man to "plant for hie own particular" and work or not work?according to his own desires. "This had very good success; for it made all hands very industri ous, so as much mora corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means By harvest time the seeds of their new enterprise had borne fruit. And the result was our first Thanksgiving. As an investor-owned company, Carolina Power & Light is proud to be a part of this free enterprise system, which makes possible the abundance we have today.
