and delight comes from her
diligent work at knitting and

dullness can be employed by all
artists to make their piece have
an air of totality.
(Catherine lives in Warren
County. She is married to E. M.
Robinson. She has been making
afghans for several years.
Presently she has three pieces
in the works. Granny squares
color and the effect of sunlight
as well as foreground, back
ground and perspective. And
you don't even need to know
how to draw a straight line to
do this. We will be working at
learning what these principles
mean and how to do them.

to the public and will be open
Mondays through Fridays until

Mrs Robinson's pieces in the
exhibii include two crocheted
afghans. One worked in
off-white yarn is of the square
triple-hitch pattern. Mrs. Rob
inson's other featured piece is
multicolored. It is an afghan in
the zigzag pattern. The yarn
was extra small pieces left over
from her mother's knitting.
Years ago, Katherine made this
afghan using those small pieces.
The afghan is pleasing to look
at because the wool, though
different hues is of similar
intensities. Hue. or color, and
intensity, or brightness, to
are a popular pattern for Mrs.
Robinson. Many of the afghans
she has sold are composed of
granny squares—that is a
blanket made entirely of small
squares attached to each other
at their outer edges.
Since spring weather has
arrived the adult painting class

join us come to the studio on

IfBrown said. She said that t,heir
parents were on welfare in
» Newark.
v Efforts of the board members
Eto persuade Mrs. Brown to send
*the children back to Newark to
finish the present term were to
Jno avail. After Mrs. Brown and
tthe children, age 10 and 11, and
Jin the fourth and fifth grade,
'had departed, the board
members discussed the plight
lof the children, whom they said
ywere their principal concern.
^They decided that Mrs. Brown
was to be notified that if the
. sum of $25 each is paid for the
(children's tuition, they could
attend South Warren School if
room is available.
The board was in executive
(session for nearly an hour

Board- of Health, the State

consolidated high school. These
departments will all inspect the
site. The board agreed, that if
the soil is found suitable for the
use of septic tanks that
permission to use these be
obtained even though it is later
decided to hook up to the
proposed Warrenton-Norlina
section of the Soul City-War
renton sewage line, a contract
for the construction of which
was awarded Monday morning.
The board also briefly
discussed "policy concerning
sales and solicitations" during
school hours and suggested
that the policy might be revised
at another meeting.
The matter of ownership of
cars by the Board of Education
for principals and department
heads was discussed, but action
was postponed to another
meeting.
Late play at school tourna
ments has causcd complaint of
several persons living in the
neighborhood of the playing
fields. The board decided that
while these tournaments will be
permitted and even encourag
ed. that no inning should be
started after 10:30 p. m.

several items that should be
included in the 1977-78 school
budget. He said that this
budget must be submitted to
the Board of County Commis
sioners by May 1 and that for
this reason a special budgetary
session should be held on April
