Warrenton And Other Newspapers. , , Plus Commercial Printing. Adding To Local Economy ' Local businesses, led by the Louisburg Business Assocla- 1 tion, are now formulating plans to capitalize on the phenomlnal Louisburg growth during the past few yeats. The Franklin Tlmef, one of the oldest, If not the oldest business In the county and inj Louisburg, has been one of the local retail outlets which has contributed to the 112;7 per cent Increase in retail sales recorded by the Department of Conservation and Develop ment. In addition to" the publishing of two issues of the 'newspaper weekly, The Times operates a! growing print job department.: accounting for sales of suchl printed items as forms, letter heads, booklets, pamphlets, bulletins, programs, tickets, circulars, lettejrs, statements, and many other such items. Much of the work is done on; special order, including the! printing of names and address es of local businesses on claim 4 checks, and advertising mater ials. The Times has also printed a number of out-of-town news papers, tabloid Inserts, high school papers and advertising circulars. , Newspapers as far away as Greensboro have been printed during the past few years here In The Times plant. Among these are: THE GUIL FORD GAZETTE (Greensboro, N. C.), THE MEBANE ENTER* PRISE (Mebane and Hillsboro, N. C.); THE WARREN RECORD (Warrenton, N. CJ; THE CARO LINA TIMES (Durham, N. C.); THE SANFORD NEWS-LEAD er (Sanford, N. C.), special editions for THE CASWELL MESSENGER (Yanceyville,' N. C.); THE WAKE WEEKLY n. (Wake Forest, N. C.), THE J SMITHFIELD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (Smithf leld, : Also included iti The Times out-o{-to\vn list are a num ber of school papers including: CARDINAL GAZETTE, GREEN & GOLD, and DEN ECHOES, all in the Mebane-Hlllsboro area, HORNETS, Guilford Col lege, N. C., the Warrenton school paper and, of course, the local Louisburg school paper. The Times plant, one of the most modern in this section of the country is equipped with the newest' in offset printing presses. The cost of such equipment has been prohibitive to many newspapers, leading an evergrowing number to have their newspapers printed away from their own plant. The Times management for saw the trend toward the offset method of printing in 1962 and at great expense converted their letterpress equipment to the newer methods. This has re sulted in a steadly increase in business for The Times, all of which is kept In local circula tion, through salaries and nor mal operational expenditures. With its present equipment, The Times is looking forward to continued business from out side the county area, as well* as improved printing services to local clients. I Negotiations are underway with several out-of-town news papers for their printing work. Many weekly papers are turning j to offset printing, because of the improved quality of pictures [and the cleanliness of opera tion. The Times has the only offset equipment hi the area capable of printing these large Jobs In addition to Its many print ing services, The Times car ries a complete stock of every day office and school supplies, which also add to the overall retail sales figures. Such things as pens, staplers, typewriter ribbons, preprinted forms of all kinds, envelopes^ mimeograph papers and a host of other items, some of which are found no place else in the area. The Times also offers order services1, Including rubber stamps and several -of the finest wedding announcement services available, plus advertising mat erials such as bumper stickers, decals and banners. The Franklin Times news paper, printed in this county for 96 years, has added im mensely to the growth of the entire area since 1870, through its editorial policies, its ad vertisers, and its Influence. Few progressive additions have ?come to the area In which The Times did not have some part. The newspaper, a member of the Loulsburg Business Asso ciation, and-its managing editor, the Association's first presi dent, have saluted the organi zation and the Loulsburg busi nessmen together for the re cord Loulsburg has set to place It Number One lit the entire state. In the complicated process of printing, whether it be a news paper or a small Job, the gen eral public having not been a part of such a process may find it hard to understand. Hie Times, for instance, does only printing of other newspapers. ! It does not have anything what soever to do about the contents of such papers and is not liable for such contents. As In cases of local Job work,- each item is printed according to copy sup plied by the customer No one, for Instance, is allowed in the See TIMES Page 8 Visitors Present Problems To Local Hospital, Survey Shows An 18-month study of hospf- I tals In thjp state has revealed "that the problem of visitors is far greater than meets the cas ual eye. A three-year program Of education for the public has been recommended by the' N. C. Committee on Nursing and Pa tient Care. "The problem Is the same; here as it Is in most every other hospital," reported M. M. Person, Administrator o f Franklin Memorial Hospital, this morping. Person /Said, "Underage children present our greatest problem. They not only hamper the work of hos pital personnel, their presence Is not good for them." The local hospital took part In the study survey made by the Committee in supplying in formation. Crowded conditions in the Fo cal hospital adds" to the overall problem of hospital visitors, the Administrator reported. Head-^ ded that additional visitor wait-i ing rooms will be added in the renovations now planned, to the new part, plus more space for t^is in the present building. Because of the lack of space, the local hospital does not ad here to the hours set for visi tors. Person said It was felt that by allowing visitors .to spread out through the day, it causes less congestion. The visiting hours for the local hospital are: 1 0-12 a.m., 2 4 p.m. arid 7-9 p.m. "It's hard In a community owned hospital to have the peo ple! understand the problem posed by too many visitors," Person added. l Asked about the "professional visitor," persons who walk the | halls looking someone to visit, Person said, "We have some of these, but they are not a problem." He stated he feels i most of the local problems will be eliminated when additional I space Is made available In the new additions. Too Many Visitors? Some of the 66 visitors' automobiles are [ pictured above at Franklin Memorial Hos pital Sunday afternoon. A statewide study of the visiting problerrf# In hospitals has recomended the setting Up of an agenoy to 6ducate the public; on proper visitor pro cedures. Local officials report. the pro blem Is here. Just as In most other hos pitals^ N ?Times Staff Pho'o. Local Guard, Top Unit " Members of the Loulsburg National Guard unit "are shown above at recent Inspection. The local battery, part of the famed 30th Division, Is among the top priority units should the Defense Department order the mobilization of guards-reserv ist units for the war In Viet nam. -Times Staff Photo. Local Guard Unit Among Those Subject To Call-Up North Carolina's 30th (Old Hickory) Infantry Division Is listed as a prime prospect for call-up by the Defense Depart ment if more men are needed in South Vietnam, According to reports . The 113th Field Artillery Bat* talion, which includes units a^ Louisburg, Youngsvllle and Zebulon, would be among those called. A Washington spokes nun said the Army has ten tatively listed a need for 120,000 guardsmen and reservists in the Vietnam situation, .if there is a further siz&ble drain' of regular Army units to the war zone. The 30th Division is one of the top six mentioned by the Defense Department as prime prospects. Col. Charles S. Manooch, Chief of public Affairs for the Adjuntant'Si General's Office, said, J'WeJre Just waiting Jo hear something." General Claud^. T. Bowers, head of the 30th, is out of state. MaJ. Gen. Ivan Hardesty, Division Commander, said he had no word as to whether the divis ion would be called ac.tive duty. He also said it would be unlikely that one unit would be called without calling all units. The Louisburg Guard unit, Headquarters Battery, consists of 10 officers, 2 warrant offi cers and 82 enlisted men. At Youngsvllle, there are 4 offi cers and 41 enlisted men which make up Battery "B" Zebulon '?MUOBHi VMBH has 4 officers and 64 enlisted men to form Battery "A." All units are at full authorized strength and have, a waiting list of recruits. Local guard officials report that they have heard nothing on the matter. Asked about hardship, cases, In the event the Division should be moli llzed, one' spokesman said, "It'll be mighty hard to get out." He used as an illustra tion a one-man farm operation where the guardsman was the sole support of a family as one possible exemption." He did not mention any others. However, a report out of Washington stated that an es timated 20 percent would be discharged or left behind for various reasons in the, event guardsmen were called up. General Hardesty has report ed that the Division could be combat ready in 13 weeks. The local units form a rocket firing group and have been rated among the top in recent years. One guardsman said, "People i who Just a few days ago would hardly say good morning, now want to stop and talk to you. They're beginning to realize there's a war going on." * Based on the releases thus far from Washington and state ments by state officials, most local observers feel there is no immediate chance that the local units "will be called. How ever, these same observers note that the sltiatlon could change rapidly after Defense Secretary McNamara returns to Washington from South Viet nam. , No Injuries Reported In Two Accidents t Two relatively minor acci dents occurred in the area over the weekend without any re ported injuries. State Trooper D. C. Day reports that a car driven fry Kirk "Evlson Faulk - nilr, w ' rn/17, Rt. 2,Warrenton, overturned last Friday after noon around 2:45 p.m. in the Alert Community on Rural Paved Road '1704. Faulkner was not Injured. The accident occurred when the man reportedly took the inside curve and found himself meeting an oil | truck. In an effort to get hack into his lane, the driver lost control, ran in a corn field and overturned after again en tering the highway. The second single car acci dent occurred around 5 p.m. Saturday on Highway 56 near Edward Best High School. John ny Clarence Floyd,, n/m/40, Rt. 4, Loulsburg, was uninjured when' he lost control and ran his car Into a ditch, landing finally in a com field on, the F? E. Dean farm. Several passengers in trie Floyd car escaped injury. Drivers in both accidents were charged with driving on the wrong side of the highway, ac cording to, Trooper Day. . Boxscore Raleigh? The Motor Vehicles Department's summary oftraf flc deaths through 10a.m. Mon day, July IB: KILLED TO DATE 754 KILLED TO DATE 797 LAST YEAR Hail, Wind, Rain Hurt Tobacco Crop Over Weekend The county's tobacco crop continues to Improve despite some damage from hall, wind,' and excess water over the week end says C. T. Dean, Jr., Coun ty Extension Chairman. Dean said that practically all of the tobacco crop Is making a remarkable recovery from the heavy rains In June that caused considerable drowning and leaching of plant nutrients. The recovery has been due to the fact that farmers drained off the excess water from the fields and applied additional amounts of nitrogen and potash to replace the fertilizer that had leached out. The hall and wind damage < Sunday seemed to be confined to small areas In Sandy Creek, Frankllnton, and Lou Is burg Townships. Bruce Wheeler, Harold Wheeler, and L. M. Tomllnson, all of Route 2, Frankllnton; Charles B. Ay cock and Everet Evans of Route 2, Loulsburg; and Elmo May, Route 1, Loulsburg, have I. t ' . ? _ ? _____ reported medium to heavy dim * . age to their crops. Xobacc^j that was blown over by wln<j was set up early Monday morn ing and should recover. To improve quality Dean urg es farmers to allow all tobacco to become thoroughly ripe be fore harvest. Immature tobacco tends to be light In color, slick, > low In aroma and flavor and low in filling power. Tobacco that has had suf ficient or excess fertilizer will generally benefit by thorough ripening and a medium to slow curing rate. Export type to bUcco should be pulled slightly earlier and cured not quite so slow as domestic type tobacco. Tobacco grown with Insuffi cient fertiliser and that which Is washed o\it should be allowed to fully mature. It should not be allowed to get overripe, however, or cured too slowly. Most tobacco growers by ob servation, know when the to bacco has reached the stage of maturity when it' will cure In a manner io as to give a leaf that possesses maximum grain. This Is the stage when It should be primed. Follow a relatively slow cur ing schedule. In many cases, a longer curing time will Irh-^ prove the color, the appearance of j-lpeness and texture of the leaf as well as the chemical balance. Avoid curing tem peratures In excess of 170 de grees F. to prevent scalding and scorching. - ' Overtime And Post Office Washington, D. C. ? Post master General John A. Gro nouskl has ordered a cutback In overtime work by postal em ployes. He authorized po more than 48 hours a week except where essential and then no more than 56. Congress has proved ?,89? postal Job* to re duce overtime, which some times amounted to 70 hours a week. Commissioners Approve Tax Rate Of $1.98 In a special meeting held last Thursday for that purpose, the Franklin County Commission ers gave final approval to the new fiscal budget. The action sets the new county, tax rate at $1.98 per $1.00 valuation, eight cents higher than last year's rate. Taxpayers in the Franklinton and Louisfcurg districts will have additional school debt ser vice. In Franklinton,, this amount^ to .54 and in Louis burg the school debt service is .40. Frankllnton's dropped 1 cent while the Louisburg tax fell five ceftts. As usual, schools get the greatest portion of the tax dol lar locally. Current expense levy for schools moved from last year's 34 cents to 38 cents for the 1965-66" year. Capital Outlay dropped from 50 cents last year to 48 cents in the new budget. Hospital levy Jumped from 4 cents to 9 cents due to the upcoming bond sales for im provements there. Industrial Development dropped a penny from five cents to four, due to help from the Town of Louis burg and a new levy of two cents was added for Court house Repair reserve. General purpose, Health, Vet eran's, County accountant, Farm and Home agents, Welfare departments remained the same as last year. Revaluation drop ped from five cents In the 1964 65 budget to four cents for this year. AH road debt service has been taken care of and no tax Is being levied for this purpose. I This is the first time in many ve^rs county townships have been free of road indebtedness. Consideration and approval of the budget was the only order of business for the CQm missioners in the Thursday meeting. Privilege License Deadline Town Tax Collector R. Lee Johnson announced that Jvily 31 is the deadline for buying town* privilege license. Those who don't meet the June 30th dead line will be given until noon July 31 to buy their business licenses, and those who haven't purchased them by that date will be charged a penalty1 for late payment which is figured from July 1, according to the Collector.
