Hearings Lack Participation
All was quiet on the
municipal front for two
Warren boards holding
public hearings Monday
night.
At Norlina, where the
Board of Commissioners sat
to hear comments on a
proposed budget for the
1977-78 fiscal year, no citizen
put in an appearance, and
commissioners transacted
no other business. Mayor
Bill Perry reported.
Warrenton's commission
ers were likewise lacking
public comments, as a
hearing on proposed expenditure
of the town's
federal revenue sharing
funds failed to produce a
visitor.
Norlina commissioners
are expected to adopt their
budget Monday night, while
Warrenton commissioners
will conduct a public
hearing on their tentative
budget the same night.

Cotton and linen are both
good fibers for this because
they "breathe." Some synthetic
fibers can slow down
or retard moisture escape,
and will cause that hot,
sticky feeling.
Rayon, to some extent, is
a cooling fiber, as is
polyester. When used in
blends with more absorbent
fibers, polyester is a fair
conductor of heat.
Fabrics should also be
loosely woven. The more
tightly woven the fabric is,
the more you tend to get
overwarm and uncomfortable.

Anna Butler. The treasurer's
report was given by
Mrs. Patsy Hargrove, who
had previously called the
roll of delegates and
alternates. Precinct officers
were presented Ly Alvis
Fleming.
Mrs. Clayton was elected
as Warren County's representative
on the Warren
County Executive Committee.
In her report to the
convention Mrs. Clayton
said thai 1977 was a very
good year for Democrats
throughout the Nation,
North Carolina and Warren
County, and that Warren
County Democrats have
reasons to be proud and
pleased by their accomplishments.
She said that
the party had worked to
involve other persons in its
activities. "We were actively
involved in the
Democratic nominee campaign,
including, national,
state and local," Mrs.
Clayton said, adding that
the local committee had
purchased advertisement in
newspaper and radio during
the November election. Mrs.
Clayton said the Warren
County Democrats sponsor
ed its nrsi Meet me
Candidate" affair where the
candidates discussed their
views with citizens of the
county. She said the number
of registered Democrats
greatly increased in 1976.
"Warren County Democrats,"
Mrs. Clayton continued,
"have supported
that State Democratic Party
by attending the many
fund-raising activities. We
also gave a $100 donation
during the November election.
"We have made an honest
effort to communicate with
the precinct leaders. We
now have a postoffice Box
109. We ask that you
communicate with us also.
"The greatest achievements
have been the
involvement of new persons
and the formation of two
new Democratic organizations."
Mrs. Clayton concluded
her remarks by saying that
"These accomplishments
are just the beginning.
Warren County Democrats
will come alive and active to
insure that we are one of the
best Democratic organizations
in the state."
Floyd McKissick, Jr.,
president of the Warren
County Young Democratic
Club, and Mrs. Anna Buuer,
president of the Warren
County Democratic Women,
each reported on the organization
and growth of their
clubs and asked for continued
support. In her talk
Mrs. Patterson told of the
organization of the Democratic
party by Thomas
Jefferson, and its growth in
service to the nation. Its
present and future is bright,
she said.
She mentioned her work
with the Guilford County
Executive Committee,
where conventions last from
seven to nine hours or more,
and told of how she came to
Raleigh at the request of
Governor James Hunt, and
of her work in the successful
campaign of President
Jimmie Carter in North
Carolina. She praised the
work of Carter as president
and mentioned several
interesting anecdotes about
the President during her
contacts with him in Washington.
One of the pleasant goals
of the Party, Mrs. Patterson
said, is the retirement of
Republican Senator Jesse
Helms and the replacing of
him with a good Democratic
Senator. She said it would be
successfully accomplished.

pope, and George Robinson.
Pope confined his brief
remarks to need for the
change in operation of
school buses as he complained
of too frequent stops.
George Robinson had no
comments.
Fleming said that he feels
that the commissioners
should sell the Allen home,
continue to rent office space
for its employees, reduce
payments to the Extension
Department, not hire another
man for Soil Conservation
and suggested that
the rescue squads might do
the work of the Warren
County Ambulance Service
and that the county has
enough schools. He said that
It was Imperative that the
commissioners hold down
the tax rate.
Jules Banzet, when called
upon said, "Mr. Fleming
has largely expressed my
view."
Judge Banzet agreed that
the Allen home should be
sold and expressed his
dissatisfaction with the idea
of tearing down the Hendricks
building, now being
used for office space. He
said he had often been in the
magistrate's office in that
building which he found
very comfortable. He complained
of the "excessive"
valuation placed upon his
real estate.
County Manager Charles
Hayes defended the purchase
of the Allen home,
explained the need for more
office space, said the
Hendricks building was an
eye sore with obsolete
offices and was an embarrassment
to those who were
jealous of the good name of
the county. He said that he
had gone over the budget
carefully with the commissioners
in an effort to hold
down taxes, and that it is
now a choice between tax
rate and service. He said
that in his opinion the 68c
rate was as low as the tax
rate should be cut.
Following a meeting with
the representatives of the
Department of Transportation
here on last Thursday
night, the board again met
for further study of the
budget. They reduced the
proposed tax rate from 68c
to 60c, cutting from the
tentative budget more than
$100,000.
Graveside service! were
held at 11 a. m. Wednesday
at the Fairview Cemetery at
Warrenton.
Miss Ellis is survived by
two sisters, Mrs. A. C.
Husketh of Kittrell and Miss
Agnes Ellis of Raleigh.
