THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1967 NUMBER 51 This is an architect's sketch of tourist welcome centers to be built in Warren and Northampton counties, Welcome Station To Be Built Construction of two Wel come Centers designed to lure tourist dollars to North Car olina is scheduled to begin early in 1968 in Northampton and Warren Counties. The Welcome Center In Warren County will be located on the site of the Rest Cen ter on Interstate Highway No. 85, between Oine and the Vir ginia Line, Frank W. Reams, Industrial Director forW&r ren County, said yesterday. Mrs. Sara Harlson, super visor of the center program, said Wednesday that archi tects are putting the final touches on plans and bids are expected to be sought in Jan uary. The centers are expect ed to open In June. The centers will be built a few miles south of the Vir ginia state line on U. S. High ways 95 and 85. The architecture of the centers has brought forth the criticism of Dean Henry Kam phoefner of N. C. State Uni versity's School of Design. Kamphoefner said earlier that the centers' "Moravian architecture . . . appears to me to be a serious backward step in the State's building cul ture, a step that could dras tically damage the pro gressive image of North Car olina." State officials have coun tered however, that the architecture which they des cribe as "Old Salem," Is typically North Carolinian In origin and can be traced as being native to the State. The welcome center pro gram falls under the jurisdic tion of the tourist and indus try division of the State De partment of Conservation and Development. J. w. (Willie) York of Raleigh is chairmanof the C&D board. The C&D department asked 1967 General Assembly to impropriate about $1 million to finance the costs of build ing seven welcome centers. The legislature pared the re quests to appropriations for only two centers. Total cost of the two initial centers is estimated at $120, 000. Each will contain about 2,800 square feet of space. They will consist of a car peted reception room, storage room, a lounge and office space. Men and women's rest rooms will be open 24 hours a day. The centers will open each day at 8 a. m. and close at 5 p. m. ? except during June, July and August when they will remain open until 8 p. m. They will be built of brick In a Fleming bond pattern and each will have a bay win dow and dormer windows on the second level. The upper story will be used to house heating equipment. The roof will be built with slate shingles. Paneled wain scoting will be built in the re ception room and a fireplace designed after those found In Old Salem will be In each center. NEAL TO SPEAK Dudley Neal, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Neal, will be the speaker Sunday morning at the War ronton Baptist Church. The college and high school students will be In charge of the service.

Office March 1 has been Indi cated as the probable effec tive date for the beginning of operation of the Food Stamp Program in Warren County. Announcement that funds would be eligible for the pro gram in Warren County was made last Tuesday after noon from the office of Con gressman L. H. Fountain by telephone to Amos L. Capps, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, and to Ernest A. Turner, presi dent of the Warren County Chapter of the NAACP. Capps said following receipt of the information that he did not know when the program would become effective. The March 1 date was an nounced last Thursday by Commissioner Clifton M. Craig of the State Depart ment of Public Welfare. Craig said that the Food Stamp Program for low-in come families will be extend ed to seven more North Car olina counties in early 1968. The latest North Carolina counties designated for par ticipation by the Secretary of Agriculture included Blad en, Brunswick, Greens, Gull ford, Rockingham, Union and Warren. They bring the num ber of counties participating In the Food Stamp program in North Carolina to 28. All of the counties with the exception of Bladen and Un ion now offer tfie surplus food commodity distribution program, Craig said. A change to the Food Stamp pro gram was requested by the boards of county commis sioners in each county. The food Stamp program is administered in North Caro lina by the Department of Pub lic Welfare in cooperation with the Consumer and Mar keting Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The food stamp program operates through normal trade channels. Low-Income fami lies exchange the amount of money they could normally be expected to spend for food for coupons worth In most cases almost double this amount. These families,,then, use the coupons to buy food at any authorized retail store at existing prices. Local banks and retail food outlets par ticipate In the program, which not only provides Improved nutrition for low Income fam ilies but boosts the overall economy of participating counties. As of October, a total of 32,725 North Carolinians, including 13,976 recipients of public assistance in the 21 participating counties and 18, 749 others certified as eli gible by county welfare de partments were listed as par ticipants in this program to provide Improved diet and liv ing conditions to low Income citizens.
