dispatched three
trucks and seven men to a
woods fire at the farm of Syd
Cooper on Gaston Lake last

originated from burning
trash and was extinguished
with water. No report of
damage was given.

answered a call to the
home of Arthur Hight on
Saturday at 10:30 a. m., with
12 men and two trucks being
dispatched to the scene.
Sparks from a flue ignited
framing behind a stove. The

at $3,000.

Local Contributions To Match
WVSP Public Radio Grant Urged
Merchants and associations
in Warren, Nash,
Franklin, Vance, Halifax
and surrounding counties
are being challenged to
match a $200 grant offered
by public radio station
WUNC, Chapel Hill, to
public radio station WVSP,
Warrenton.
The announcement was
made Nov. 12 by WUNC
general manager Gary
Shivers to WVSP general
manager Valeria Lee. Both
regional stations are members
of the National Public
Radio network (NPR) and,
as public radio stations,
cannot rely on advertisers
for their support.
WUNC's challenge to area
businesses is good through
the month of November.
WVSP will use the WUNC
and business grants in
December to underwrite the
locally-produced children's
program, "Tickle - Me Think."
Ms. Lee explained that
$200 will pay for two weeks
of "Tickle-Me-Think," the
WVSP program for young
children which usually airs
from 9-9:30 a. m., Monday
through Friday
The program, previously
heard in area homes,
schools and pre-school centers,
is not being aired
currently due to a lack of
underwriting.
"Significant community
good will can come from
public underwriting of
radio," Ms. Lee suggests,
"since the spotlight is on the
organization's contribution
to the community rather
than its specific product."
"Public radio stations,
like commercial stations,
have large operating expenses,"
Ms. Lee notes.
"Major outlays each month
include rent, electricity,
telephone, maintenance,
training and producers'
salaries. Some of WUNCf's
costs are subsidized by its
affiliation with the University
of North Carolina,
whereas WVSP is one of a
handful of public radio stations
in the country that
relies on the community for
support."
WVSP's music format is
primarily jazz, while
WUNC's is classical. Both
stations, on the air since
Amtrak To Stop In Henderson
HENDERSON - The
National Railroad Passenger
Corporation (Amtrak)
will resume its stop in
Henderson, rail officials
announced last week.
The decision to renew
passenger service in Henderson
was made following
negotiations in which Norlina,
in neighboring Warren
County, had also sought a
i
passenger stop. Presently,
there are no stops along the
line from Petersburg, Va.,
to Raleigh. .
Service was earlier projected
to begin Jan. 1, 1978;
however, Amtrak officials
said later in the week that
the date was too early.
Amtrak told community
officials and DOT representatives
last Wednesday
that the government owned
service will pay approximately
50 per cent of the
cost of building a new
$30,000 station in the city.
Joseph Vranich, Amtrak
special representative for
public affairs, said he
"anticipates no problems
with Henderson acquiring
service after they make
their application for funds."
To receive passenger service,
Henderson will be
required to submit an
application for funds under
a 50-50 joint station program
in which Amtrak would pay
$15,000 of the total cost.
The application must be
approved by several offices
before the final allocation is
made.
Under the agreement
reached between Amtrak
and the city, Henderson
would have a Plediglas
shelter with a direct
telephone line hook-up to
Jacksonville, Fla.
Passengers wishing to
ride the train could call

Changes made on the
pre-addressed labels should
also be reported to the

Toys For Tots
Drive Set Planned
The Warren County Jaycees
are again sponsoring
the Toys for Tots drive. Toys
for tots is a program where
used toys and clothing are
collected and redistributed
at Christmas to those less
fortunate.
The Jaycees hope to make
this year's Toys for Tots
drive as successful as those
in the past. If you have any
used toys or clothing which
can be repaired if needed,
take them to Peoples Bank
in Norlina or the the
National Guard Armory in
Warrenton any week day.
