Fleming Commended At Board Meeting Joe Fleming, Street Superin tendent, was commended at th< regular town board meeting Monday night by Mayor W. A Miles for cleaning the street* on Sundays. 'There has been t great deal of improvement in the streets on Sunday morning," Mayor Miles said, "and I am sure our citizens appreciate it." The commissioner's session Monday night was a relatively short one, ending around 9 p. m. The commissioners agreed that the Art Commission might use the services of the town as a tax exempt organization in its handling of funds for public service. Town Manager Bill Davis informed the board that hours of the street department workers had been changed from 8 to 5 to 7 to 4. He said that a great deal more could be accomplished with the earlier start as there is less traffic on the streets and the weather is cooler. The commissioners took no action on a request of George Burwell that a four-way stop sign be installed at the intersection of Bragg Street and Fifth Avenue. During a short discussion the view was expressed that two stop signs and two caution signs at the point of intersection would cause less confusion. The board voted to change the, town auditors. The commissioners decided to employ Lonnie Shupin of Louisburg to replace Haywood Phillips of Henderson who has been Warrenton's auditor for several years. Manager Davis said that Shupin was well recommended and that his charges were considerably leu. Shupin was employed for three years at a cost of $1400 per year. The board voted to transfer S2.000 of Powell Bill Fund from savings to active fund. The commissioners voted that the $50 fund donated to the Girl Scouts be transferred to the Pines of Carolina Girl Scouts Fund, and that the Rural Fire Department donation be charged to the General Fund instead of Revenue Sharing. The North Carolina League of Municipalities is planning a headquarters building in Raleigh and asking that for this reason the annual dues be doubled. The commisioners voted to increase the town's fees to $800 less a discount for early payment. Action on possible establishment of a retirement fund for the town was deferred pending" further study. ' The commissioners agreed to the suggestion of the town manager that instead of having a single town engineer, that it would have multiple engineers working on a contingency basis. Reason for the change in policy was in part due to speed required in applying for the building projects under government grants, and the desirability of carrying on several projects at the same time. The engineers will be interviewed singularly by the board. A request from Dr. Tom Holt that Fairview Street, upon which his office is located, be restricted to parking on one side of the street only was tabled. Following a brief executive session, the meeting adjourned.

Commodity Loon Rote Reduces On April 1, Effective April 1, the yearly rate on outstanding 1974-76 crop commodity loans was reduced from 71 .■ percent to 6 percent, ASCS Director T. E. Watson announced this week. Loans for all 1977 crop commodities will he subject to a ti percent interest rate for the regular loan period, he said. "The interest rate on outstanding storage facility and drying equipment loans which were subject to variable interest rates also was reduced April 1 from T'/ percent to 7 percent. Loans made on or after April 1 will bear interest at the 7 percent rate for the period they are outstanding," Watson said. This changes the policy adjusting interest rates every six months on outstanding loans, but it continues the policy of setting rates at a level sufficient to recover the Commidity Credit Corporation's cost of borrowing money from the U. S. Treasury. In addition to the lower interest rates, this loan program increases the maximum amount to be Wjaned, broadens items which may be included for a loan, and decreases the down payment required. The maximum loan amount is being increased from $25,000 to $50,000. New provisions for loans also include provisions to add concrete and wiring cost for structures and drying equipment and only a 15 percent down payment instead of the previous 30 percent. In determining the amount of the loan, storage needs will be based on two years' farm production instead of one year's production as was required before these changes. These changes and the lowered' interest rate of 7 percent will remain constant for the term of the loan, he said.

Warren Baby Dies Of Infant Syndrome A Warren County baby has become a fatality of Sudden Infant Syndrome, commonly known as "crib death." Milton Mokeith Townes, son of Ms. Mary (Minnie) Townes of the Warren Plains community was found dead in his crib on April 10. Sudden Infant Death kills about 25,000 infants in the United States each year. Autopsy reports normally show no cause of death but viruses are thought to be the most likely kind of causative agent. According to Warren County Health officials, the last report of Sudden Infant death was in October. 1976. The State Board of Health has no statistics on SIDS before 1974-75 when the syndrome became coded as SIDS. Before this period, cause of death was not recorded as SIDS. The Vital Garland To Speak At Chamber Meet Ed Garland, president of the North Carplina Association of Chamber Executives and executive director of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, will be the guest speaker at the regular meeting of the Warren County Chamber of Commerce on Monday night at 6:30 p. m. Garland will discuss the real purposes of the chamber and how to fulfill these purposes. The dinner meeting will be held at the Rafters Steak House. Statistics Division of the State Board of Health reported that SIDS refers to children under one year while SUD or Sudden Unexpected Death, can be up to six years of age. The statistics reveal that Warren County has had four Sudden Infant Deaths within five years. These figures reflect estimates before the syndrome was listed as cause of death so more may have occurred, it was noted. Graveside services for the infant boy were conducted on April 14 at 11 a. m. from the Cooks Chapel Baptist Church cemetery. In addition to his mother, he is survived by his father, Milton L. Hargrove. Smith Creek Firemen Apply For Truck Firemen of the Smith Creek Fire District have applied for a 1,000-gallon tank and body for a new fire truck.
