Dale Haith and Antionette
Creech, Outreach Supervisor of
the Office of Aging Affairs of
the Vance-Granville Commun
ity College, appeared before
the commissioners to explain
their work for the aged, and to
illustrate this need and work by
film.
H. C. Collins, Mrs. Collins
and a neighbor, Mrs. Davis,
appeared before the commis
sioners to complain of his
neighbor's dogs. His neighbor's
have several dogs, including a
young German Shepherd dog,
which are a threat to his way of
life, he said. They not only run
around his home at night, but
will often attack him in the
daytime on his own land. "I
wouldn't mind being bitten by a
dog on my neighbor's land, but
I do object to being bitten by
my neighbor's dog on my land,"
Collins said.
Mrs. Collins said not only did
the dogs frighten her, but they
also attack her own dog which
i~ tied up in her yard.
Collins said that he had called
the dog warden and he
responded but said there was
nothing he could do about it as
his neighbor's dogs have been
vaccinated and wear their tags.
Told by some of the commis
sioners that he would be
justified in shooting a vicious
dog on his own land. Collins
replied that his neighbor had
threatened to shoot him if he
-hot one of his dogs.
The commissioners said that
they would have the county
attornev search the law books
to see if there is any law that
protects a man from his
neighbors' dogs.
Jeff Palmer of Falls Church,
Va., who owns a farm in
Sixpound Township, appeared
before the board at 11:15, with
a request that a road running
from the lake by Hebron
Church be paved. The road.
Palmer said, was established by
the late Howard Palmer in 1901
and five miles on the upper end
has been paved. He said that
paving this road would be a
great service to those who
travel to Gaston Lake, and that
he cannot understand why the
ft ate,...has not paved it.
v years would ap
pear to be long enough, he
added.
Palmer had prepared a
resolution asking that this road
be paved to be signed by the
commissioners. This they did
not do. but agreed to forward
Palmer's request to the State
Highway Commission.
The commissioners also
agreed to forward a petition
signed by adjacent landowners
to SR-1166 running from Vicks
boro community by St. James
Chapel Baptist Church. Mr
Jones said that at times th«
road was impassable and that
people had to take a
round about way to St. James
Baptist Church. He said that it
is traveled by school buses and
that these become stuck and
unable to pull a hill leading
up from a bridge. One bus. he
said, recently turned half way
round in the road and almost
slipped into a ditch. He did not
ask that the road be hardsur
faced. but "fixed," which may
be translated to stabilized,
which means put rock on it.
Mr. Jones received help from
the Rev. Mr. Fogg, pastor of St.
James Baptist Church. He
painted a dark picture of
conditions on the road. One
recent Sunday he said, he
became disturbed when his
congregation failed to appear at
the church. He was really
worried and feared that he had
badly offended his congrega
tion. Later, he said, he found
members of his congregation
stuck in the mud between
Vicksboro and St. James.
County Manager Charles
Hayes reported that 43 persons
are now working for CETA.
and that collections from the
one cent sales tax in February
were $16,002.19.
Hayes said that in response
to his request for an additional
Wildlife Ranger for Warren
County, he was informed that
Rangers are not assigned to
single counties, but to four
county districts, and that the
State Department hopes that it
will be able to assign another
ranger to the district.
