Man Is Still Missing
(Continued from page 1)
bags He said there was no
firewood in the kitchen and
that Cheek's axe was
missing, leading to the
surmise that he had gone
out doors to cut some
wood
Capps reported finding a
black overcoat in a well
behind the house, but a
search of the well found no
body.

the Afton-Elberon and the
Cokesbury fire depart
ments and the Henderson
React Department joined

ton Rural Firemen did not

of the unusually large
number of firemen who

when the company ans
wered three fire alarms.
The search was continu

Town Board Has Meeting

rings installed in another
old truck, for which the
town had been previously
offered $200, at a cost of
$276.88. The repaired
truck, he said, is now
running fine.
This wound up the
regular meeting of the
hoard, but before adjourn
ment was called Commis
sioner Gordon Haithcock
said he felt that there had
been too much delay in
naming a commissioner to
succeed Richard Hunter,
who had resigned following
his appointment as Clerk
of Superior Court.
Commissioner Charles
White told the group that
he had been visited by
former Mayor W. A Miles
who had asked his support,
claiming that his connec
tion with COG and friend
ship with its director would
be of great value to the
town, and that he would
support the former mayor.
Mayor White said that he
felt he knew as much about
the working of COG and
had as many friends on the
agency as did Miles.
However, he added that he
felt he could work with
anyone the board would
appoint. "It is up to the
board. I have told none of
them what I thought about
the appointment and no
commissioner has asked
me how I felt about the
appointment."
Commissioner Billy
Lanier said that Miles had
also approached him, and
that he had also received
information that Ray
Shearin had expressed a
desire to be named and
that Walter Gardner might
be interested Commis
sioner Eddie Clayton said
that he feels that it would
be well if a younger man
could be appointed to the
board.
Bignall Jones, attending
the board meeting, said be
was under the impression
that the board wanted to
reduce the board to five. If
the board wants this done,
it will require a special act
of the Legislature, Mayor
White said.
The commissioners de
cided to take no action due
to the absence of Commis
sioner Scott and agreed
that action should be taken
at a called meeting of the
board.

Warren Error Rate Rate
Among State's Best
Warren County is not one
of the 19 North Carolina
counties with excessive
errors in the adminis
tration of its food stamp
program, according to
Julian Farrar, county
Social Services director.
Farrar said Warren
County has one of the best
food stamp operations in
the state and has
consistently had a low
error rate.
Figures released
recently by the N. C.
Department of Human
Resources, based on a
study of sample cases from
each county, indicated that
North Carolina counties
made incorrect food stamp
payments of $12.1 million
over a six-month period
last year.
Nineteen of the state's
100 counties were singled
out by Dr. Sarah T.
Morrow, secretary of
DHR, as having
"unacceptably high" error
rates.
The error rate nationally
is 12.6 percent, and the
state average is 15.26
percent. However, Warren
County, according to
Farrar, has an error rate
of 5.54 percent, a figure
below both the national and
state averages.
State agencies in North
Carolina allocate $240
million in food stamps to
nearly 600,000 residents
under the federally-funded
food stamp program.
