Gives Statement
About Candidacy
In a written statement
released February 1, Eric
A. Saunders, candidate for
district attorney, Ninth
Judicial District, said,
"While I think the present
district attorney is a good
prosecutor, I do not think
he has implemented any
new programs or proce
dures that would give our
merchants and business
people better legal repre
sentation and some relief
from the crimes of
larceny, shoplifting and
worthless checks, such as.
the identification of repeat
offenders for these types of
crimes."
Saunders, who is oppos
ing incumbent District At
torney David R. Waters,
promises to initiate a
program to recognize
repeat offenders of lar
ceny, shoplifting and
worthless checks.
A Roxboro attorney,
Saunders advocates an
active leadership role for
the district attorney in
working with law enforce
ment officers in the fight
against crime. He sees the
role involving much more
than just prosecuting cases
in the courts.
Saunders was appointed
an assistant district attor
ney in 1976 by Charles
White and served in that
capacity until 1980 when he
went into private practice.

Waters Is Seeking
DA Re-Election
District Attorney David
R. Waters has filed with
the State Board of
Elections for re-election to
his second term as district
attorney for the Ninth
Judicial District. The
district is composed of
Franklin, Granville,
Person, Vance and Warren
counties.
Waters began his first
term in January, 1979,
after winning election in
1978. Prior to that time he
served as assistant district
attorney for four years.
In making his
announcement, Waters
noted the many changes
that have occurred in the
Criminal Justice System in
the eight years he has been
a prosecutor in this area.
The increase in crime
along with the Criminal
Procedure Act, the Speedy
Trial Act and the Fair
Sentencing Act, have
created additional burdens
on the district attorney's
office.
Waters believes that his
office has responded well
to the challenge with his
staff of five assistant dis
trict attorneys who have
been assigned to each of
the five counties. Waters
feels that his assistants, in
addition to their substan
tial courtroom experience,
all have a genuine commit
ment and interest in the
county which they reside.
While serving as district
attorney, Waters success
fully completed the Justice
Executives Program of the
University of North
Carolina at Chapel HiD. He
is now a member of the
North Carolina District At
torneys Association, the
North Carolina College of
Advocacy, the North
Carolina Criminal Justice
Education and Training
Standards Commission,
and the Federal-State Law
Enforcement Coordinating
Committee.
Waters lives in Gran
ville County with his wife,
Susan, and their two
children. He has just
completed a term on the
Board of Trustees of
Oxford United Methodist
Church and is currently
president of the West
Oxford Elementary
Parent-Teacher Organiza
tion.

Growing Plants From Seed
Extends Gardening Season
The time has come for gar
deners to get serious about
seeds. The new catalogues are
at hand and it's only a matter of
weeks until seeds need to be
started so young plants will be
on hand when they are needed.
Raising their own plants in a
homemade hothouse or indoors
is something that many home
gardeners overlook because they
consider it risky or just hold to
the belief that it is easier to go
down and purchase ready-to
use plants when the time is
ripe. The risk is not as great
as many think and there is the
added pleasure of being able to
carefully watch seeds sprout and
grow to healthy young plants.
Raising your own plants from
seeds imposes the same require
ments for success as does the
establishment and nurturing of
store-bought plants. It's a mat
ter of soil, water and care.
Your seed supplier can guide
you in the selection of potting
material and seeds. He can also
tell you, if the seed package
doe* not, the number of weeks
it takes for seed varieties to
devriop into ready-' ie plants.
Whether you grow from seeds
or purchase plants when it is
time to put them into the
ground, remember that you do
take a chance with exotic var
ieties or varieties which have not
been tested and proven in your
area. The agricultural extension
service of most universities an
nually publish and /nake avail
able a listing of varieties which
have shown themselves to be
most productive in area cultiva
tion.
Planning Board Gathers
Subdivision Plans
Given At Meeting
Plans (or a 6.8-acre sub
division between Grove
Hill and Embro were given
preliminary approval
Thursday night during the
January meeting of the
Warren County Planning
Board.
Ms. Jackie James of
Durham, an architect and
representative of Gamma
Development Corporation,
appeared at the meeting to
inform the board of early
plans for the five-lot
subdivision. The subdivi
sion will be created on land
owned by Mable Branch.
Ms. James presented a
preliminary sketch of the
Fishing Creek Township
project and was told what
was required to meet
requirements for a final
plat.
In other business Billy
Ellis, appearing on behalf
of property owned by his
mother, Mrs. Susie K. Ellis
of River Township, was
told that final approval
was in order for the
family's seven-lot subdivi
sion.
During the course of the
brief meeting, Chairman
Selby Benton spoke of the
possibility of changing
several lots in his Lake
Gaston Estates from com
mercial to residential, but
decided to request no
action from the Planning
Board at this time.
Present for the meeting,
in addition to Benton, were
board members William
Brauer, Peete Milliard and
Butch Meek. Palmer King,
sanitarian, and Chet For
rester, Zoning administra
tor, were also present.

Giants
Prehistoric giant ground
sloths weighed about a hundred
times as much as today's two
toed sloths, says National Geo
graphic World magazine. The
skeleton of a ground sloth found
in Daytona Beach, Florida,
measured 16 feet long and stood
12'A feet high.
Faulty Phone
Books Reported
A news article which ap
peared recently stated that
the new 1982 telephone
directories for the
Henderson, Norlina, War
renton, Oxford, Center
ville, Franklin ton, Louis
burg, and Wake Forest
exchanges were in the
process of being delivered
to customers of Carolina
Telephone and Telegraph
Company.
The article asked any
telephone subscribers who
failed to receive their
directories by February 12
ta notify the business office
in Henderson (492-9111).
It has been discovered
that due to a printing error
by the company that prints
the directories, a small
number of books were
printed with the outside
edge of the pages cut too
short.
Please check your
directories when received
and notify Carolina
Telephone if you happen to
have received one of these
directories. The company
will gladly replace any
directory in a damaged
condition.
