Minor Accidents Reported
Here By Highway Patrol
Several minor accidents
were reported in the area by
the State Highway Patrol
during the past week. Only
two personal injuries were
reported.
Last Wednesday about
7 :35 p m. Shirley Ann Upton
was slightly injured in a
bump up on U. S. 158
business near Three Points
Service Station.
Trooper C. E. Lockley
explained that the Upton
vehicle was following in a
line of three cars when she
attempted to pass. As she
was meeting a car, she cut
back in, hitting the front car
in the line operated by
Dessxe Egerton of Warrenton.
The incident caused the
Egerton vehicle to veer
right into a ditch.
Charges of careless and
reckless driving were lodged
against Ms. Upton of
Stoney Creek, Va. Damages
were set at $1200 to the
Upton vehicle and $225 to the
Egerton auto.
Charges of following too
closely were filed against
John Henry Israel, Jr., of
Norlina following a mishap
on U. S. 1 just north of
Ridgeway at 9 30 Sunday
night.
Trooper Lockley said
Israel was following a
vehicle which slowed down.
Israel was unable to stop
and attempted to pass to
avoid the rear-end collision.
He subsequently lost control
and ran off the roadway,
hitting a tree which caused
his vehicle to turn around
and hit another tree.
No injuries were reported
and damages were estimated
at $1,000.
Cleophus Elam, 19. of Rt.
I, Norlina, was taken to
Maria Parham Hospital and
later transferred to Duke
Hospital for injuries sustained
after he fell asleep while
driving on RPR 1107 about
2.3 miles west of Warrenton
at 2:45 a. m. on October 22.

Warrenton Mayor W. A.
Miles has been re-elected to
a one-year term on the
12-member board of directors
of the N. C League of
Municipalities
Miles's election came
during the 68th annual
convention of the League
held last week in Greensboro

who is a former member
of the League's Resolutions
and Legislative committees,
was named to help direct
activities of the organization

Rocky Mount Mayor Fred
Turnage was elected to head
the League during the
coming year, while Greensboro
Mayor Jim Melvin was
named first vice president.
Miles said that workshop
sessions held in conjunction
with the three-day meeting
were particularly instructive
this year, and that one
theme sounded by state
government officials in
attendance was the need to
bring about increased help
at the federal level for small
cities and communities.
Warrenton has been a
member of the N C. League
of Municipalities since the
early Forties, with Miles
being the only Warrenton
elected official to serve on

LET'S NOT PUT
WARRENTON
BEHIND
THE EIGHT BALL!!
I am genuinely concerned over the
growing number of pool rooms in our
central business district. Already we
have five pool rooms and there are
indications that a sixth is on the way.
Pool rooms have their place, but I do
not believe it is along Main Street, or in
the areas where shops and stores
should be encouraged.
With our town zoning ordinance we
have the tool to make pool rooms a
nonconforming use of business district
property. This will not force existing
pool rooms to close down, but it would
prevent the establishment of additional
ones. And it will make available space
for business outlets which can broaden
our tax base.
As a town board member who has
worked for a comprehensive development
plan, and a workable zoning code,
I believe we can do much to protect the
beauty of our Main Street and we can
do much to encourage quality shops
and stores in our business district.
As mayor, I plan to continue my
efforts toward making Warrenton an
attractive and financially sound community.
I would like your help on
November 8th, and afterwards, in
making this possible.
