Information Given
About Beef Vote
By THOMAS E. WATSON
Warren ASCS Director
The Secretary of Agriculture approved a beef research
and information order subject to beef producers'
approval in a referendum. Before the order can take
effect, 50 percent of producers registered and two-thirds
of producers voting must approve it. Registration dates
are June 6 through June 17; voting dates are July 5
through July 15.
REGISTRATION—To be eligible to vote, beef
producers must register with their county Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation Service office between
June 6 and June 17. They can either register at the office
in person or request ASCS to mail them a registration
card. No return postage will be provided to mail the
completed card. Producers who do not register cannot
vote.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?—Any person, such as a rancher,
feed lot operator, or dairy farmer, who was a beef
producer during calendar 1976 can register and vote.
Each production entity—such as a family, partnership,
or corporation—is entitled to one vote. A 4-H or FFA
member may register and vote provided he or she is an
eligible producer separate from his or her family
operation.
VOTERS POSTED—From June 6 through June 17,
ASCS will post daily a list of producers registered to vote
in a conspicuous place at the county ASCS office. A final
list will be posted on June 22. Any person may challenge
the eligibility of any registered voter. County Executive
directors will resolve challenges with appeals
determined by the county ASC committee.
THE VOTE—Producers can vote in person or by mail.
Mail ballots must be requested from the ASCS office. No
ballots will be mailed out before the voting period. No
return postage will be provided for ballots. Voters must
sign ballots; however, only county office personnel
counting the vote will see ballots.
RESULTS—If 50 percent of registered producers vote
and two-thirds of those voting approve, the beef research
and information order will become effective.

Individual Responsibility Stressed By
Peace President At School Graduation
Responsibility of the individual
was the major theme
of the commencement
speaker and student speakers
at the graduating exercises
at Warren Academy on
Friday night when 32
seniors received their diplomas.
Honesty and truthfulness
are the basics for any success
in life, Dr. S. David
Frazier, President of Peace
College in Raleigh, told the
graduating class. Beyond
this there must be a
recognition of one's responsibility
to family, community
and religion, and the
duty of doing one's best in
these fields. To have a
successful life, he said, the
individual must not only
have a respect for himself,
> but he must also have a
respect for his fellowman,
regardless of race, creed or
color, and with this respect
there must be a sense of
compassion for his wt. kness
and a willingness to
lend a helping hand.
Dr. Frazier was presented
by Julius Banzet, III, chairman
of the board of trustees
of the Academy.
More than 450 persons attended
the exercises which
were held in the gymtorium
at 8 p. m. The invocation
was given by the Rev.
Wayne Young, pastor of
> Wesley Memorial Methodist
> Church, who also gave the
> benediction.
> Weldon Clinton (Chip)

Hayes in his remarks
emphasized the value of the
larger capacity of a regional
system for future growth. If
Warren County is to grow at
a rate necessary for its well
beirtg, he said, present
facilities will not be ade!
quate. He pointed out that
f even if Norlina's sewage
f plant were to be upgraded
& that very little additional
| capacity for growth would
be available.
The Engineers told the
commissioners that in laying
the sewage line from
{Soul City to Warrenton that
provision had been made for
Norlina to tap on to the line.
Progress on the line Is
progressing nicely, Hayes
said.
ing of his years at the
Academy as fun years, and
of the depth of gratitude
each graduate owed his or
her parents, and of the
responsibility of meeting the
duties of a good citizen.
John Lawton Capps, uncle
of the salutatorian was
valedictorian. In giving the
class farewell he spoke of
the years of trials and
triumphs at the academy
and the debt of gratitude
they owed their parents.
He echoed the commencement
speaker as he stressed
their responsibility to their
family, community and
church and to their fellowman.
Prior to the valedictorian's
address, Jan Gardner,
class president, made a few
remarks and presented the
members of the graduating
class.
Diplomas were presented
by headmaster B. L. King.
The Academy chorus
rendered three selections
during the evening, "ThreeFold

Song and the Alma

Grand Jury Wants
Witnesses Served
A Warren County grand
jury this week suggested
that subpoenas should be
served on witnesses as well
as grand jurors in order to
expedite the court's business.
In a report submitted
Monday to Judge Harry E.
Canady, members of the
grand jury said a subpoena
system would, in their
opinion, "facilitate the business
of the court."
Grand jurors generally
found county property in a
good state of affairs,
particularly the county
prison unit which was
inspected and found to be in
satisfactory condition.
In a report signed by
Marshall Fleming, jury
foreman, Judge Canady was
informed that a committee
of the jury had found a
handrail loose from the wall
in a ladies bathroom and
that there exists a need for a
blind at the ladies bathroom
window.
A committee which visited
the, Warren County Jail
reported that the facility
was in a satisfactory
condition, but there had
been no progress to date on
a floor for the utility building.
The grand jury was
presented 31 bills of indictment
and returned true bills
in all but one, that of Dennie
Kelley, charged with breaking
and entering and
larceny. A true bill was
found in which Kelly was
charged with receiving.
Hot Season Should
Not Deter Roses
There won't be as many
flowers and they may not be
quite as pretty, but roses
should continue blooming
during the hot summer
months.
North Carolina State
University agricultural extension
specialists say that
roses can produce blooms if
the plants are fertilized,
watered and kept free of
insects and diseases.
A good, deep mulch will
help the watering situation
by conserving moisture.
Feed the plants with a
monthly application of a
complete fertilizer, such as
8-8-8, to keep new growth
and flower buds coining.
County Building
Bids Are Sought
Bida for the renovation of
School Days, former George
Allen home donated to the
county by his heirs, will be
advertised and opened by
the Warren County Commissioners
on July 6, when the
board holds its next regular
meeting.
The old Peter Davis
building, which is also to be
renovated by the county,
will be advertised later after
specifications can be drawn
up, County Manager Charles
Hayes told the commiasioners
at their regular
meeting here Monday morning
after he had announced
that bids for the renovation
of School Days would be
advertised.
The commissioners
agreed to accept sealed bids
for two cars belonging to the
Sheriff's Department at
their July meeting.
Three members of the
Industrial Commission
whose three-year terms
have expired were reappointed
for a second threeyear
term. They were W. D.
Little, Monroe Gardner, and
Luther Paynter.

This Is
The Law
By ROBERT E.LEE
Annual Legal Check Up
Individuals are beginning
to realize, with all the
complexities of modern life,
that they may in the future
have legal troubles which
they can prevent.
A person may enter a
lawyer's office and say "I
have no legal aches or pains,
but tell me — am I in reasonably
good legal health?"
The idea of an annual
legal check-up is founded on
the assumption that lawyers
are more familiar with law
(legal health) than are
non-lawyers. As between a
lawyer and a client, the
lawyer is more able to
determine the client's legal
status than the client
himself.
Most people don't know
whether they are in good
legal health or not. For
example, they have no
clear-cut idea of what would
become of their worldly
possessions if they should
die tonight.
There is a saying that "a
man who is his own lawyer
has a fool for a client."
Stew Sale Planned
Women of the Macon
United Methodist Church

Frank Twitty, dog warden,
reported that he had
received 90 complaints

had picked up 65 dogs and
killed 56 dogs. He said that
one person had been bitten.
The warden said that ha
travelled 2322.2 miles during
the month and had vaccinal
ed 273 dogs. He told tha
commissioners that he feels
the vaccination program is
working well.
The Warren County Planning
Board appeared beffore

copies of revised subdivision
regulations which were

changes before a public
