He reported that Fishing Creek was not as frozen this week and there had been no trouble at the Water Plant. Neal said that many residents had frozen pipes in their homes.

Schools Receive Notice Of Fuel Supply For Month Warren County schools have been assured of receiving between 15.000 and 18.000 gallons of fuel oil during February, which school officials say will be sufficient barring extremely cold weather. Supt. J. R. Peeler said Monday that oil supplies were being rapidly depleted, and that Northside and North Warren schools had only enough fuel to operate through this week. He said oil could have been shifted from other schools and said notification of February's allotment was welcome news. Continued conservation efforts were urged during a meeting of teachers from throughout the county on Saturday, when principals were told to determine temperature levels on an individual basis following consultation with faculty members. Peeler said that blanket guidelines used in other systems, by which school thermometers would be set at a uniform level throughout the system, would not work in Warren where there are wide spread differences in school construction. Peeler said that students returned to school Friday, which had previously been scheduled as a teacher workday, in order to make up one of two days lost because of had weather. Students will make up the second lost day on April 1. which was also a scheduled teacher work day. Teachers made up their lost work day on Saturday.

Avoid Plants With Dry Roots, Unhealthy Look Starting with a Rood, healthy plant is the first step in assuring yourself of a successful landscaping job. Selecting such a plant is not always easy. One of the most effective safeguards is to buy your plant in a container. Unfortunately, they aren't always available in this form. The other choices are the balled and burlapped plant, and the bare-rooted plant. What makes the plant in the container superior is that its root system is more likely to be intact, and the roots aren't likely to have been allowed to dry at any time. Success can still be yours with balled and burlapped plants, provided they are handled carefully and the root ball kept moist until transplanting. Even bare-rooted plants can be used with good livability. but you must be extra careful in handling. If the plant" is barerooted. chances are it was pulled from the ground and roots stripped away in the process. Legion To Gather Moses Davis Post 260, American Legion will hold its monthly meeting Sunday at 3:30 p. m. Commander Marcus McGrier is asking that all members be present and extends an invitation to all Warren County war veterans to come also.
