Allen, who returned to Warren- p ton early yesterday morning, com- c mented. "Everything possible was fl done for our comfort and entertain- r ment. One of the most enjoyable n things about the reunion, however," t. Mr. Allen said, "was the renewing o: of acquaintances and reviewing of deeds of former years." s' Forest Fires Other County Affairs 1 Five hundred dollars was ap- , jropriated by the board of county commissioners here Monday to natch a similar amount from the State for use in the prevention c >f forest fires in Warren. The ap- k jointment of more than 200 warlens will be later announced and d equipment will be sent from the ^ State for use in fighting forest fires. The warden are only to be paid r vhen actually at work, and in no 0 ;vent is the county responsible for nore than $500 for the year. Com- F nissioner Newell could not see the b visdom of the appropriation and c mted no. Wall recorded "not vot- b ng," but Chairman Powell, Buroughs and Skinner carried the h notion. v Other matters before the board v ncluded the payment of $250 for ? 5 sheep belonging to Sam G. Sat- tl erwhite of Manson. These sheep si vere killed by dogs, and Mr. Sat- Ci erwhite said that he could not re- & :over from the owner of the dogs, tj The board paid, according to State aw, the value as shown by the ax books.

The oard instructed its clerk, Joseph Powell, to request Thomas Elngton of Nutbush to appear next irst Monday to show cause why e should have been paid for stills 'hich Commissioner Newell said 'ere 'ice cream freezers," and the Dunty authorities further ordered tiat all stills and all materials aould be brought immediately upon apture to the county jail, delivedd to Jailer Lovell and a recept iken. In the Shearin matter it appears aat a large plant was captured nd brought to Warren jail and aat two men were brought into recorder's court under a charge of , lanufacturing. This was the firsi , londay in May, and Mr. Shearin's j in was paid. It has been an order j f the board, however, for a long , eriod to pay $5 for the still and 15 for the conviction of persons ( nind guilty of manufacturing.

Chairman Powell said that he j lought the funds should come ack as the men had not beenu 1 anvicted under the charge and as 1 ae order of the board was clear. ' a this connection the board was nanimous in wanting to hear from Ir. Ellington about stills which he aptured but which some members hought were not plants in which 1 ooze could be made. It was pointed out that several mes sugar, meal and other inredients of the manufacturers was 1 ither loss or stolen before it came : lto the custody of the sheriff at /arrenton, and the board ordered lat whenever anything was capared at a still that the plant and 11 the accessories be brought to barren jail and that the person elivering this property of the ounty and receive from the jailer a . ;ceipt in itemized form.

NUMBER 23 BOARD RETAINS COUNTY NURSE Welfare Work Also Is Placed In Budget For Another Year In Warren DELEGATION COMES IN Warren County's board of Commissioners on Monday reconsidered its action of a month ago and voted 3-1 to retain a county nurse, ap pointing to this position Mrs. Joseph Jones of Ridgeway at a salary of $125 per month and $50 monthly expense account, half of which is paid by the State. Meeting in the afternoon the board of education and the commissioners re-elected Miss Lucy I. Leach as welfare officer with no opposing vote. This salary was set at $1600 instead of $1200 as formerly but the added $400 is to be paid by the board of education for two days work each week during the schol year when Miss Leach will act as attendance officer. Mrs. Jones was elected for a term of two years and Miss Leach for one. One side of the commissioner's room was crowded with prominent women of the county and the rest of the room with several large taxpayers and other interested citizens when the matter of the county nurse was brought before the board. Mrs. M. C. Winston of Warrenton appealed concisely and eloquently 'for the retention of the work, speaking in behalf of the mothers of the county. She was followed by Miss Amma D. Graham who reviewed her reasons for supporting the nurse, and who spoke pointedly for the retention of Mrs. Jones. Dr. W. D. Rodgers, county health officer, brought to the attention of the commissioners the fact that 73 per cent of the children born in Waren County were attended by midwives, in many cases old and superstitious negro women, might be under her direction and might continue to be instructed in hygiene and some rudiments of medical science. He pointed to the good work already done in this direction, and cited cases where negro women, afflicted with venerial disease, had been refused the right to practice as midwives on account of the infancy and maternity nurse. Mrs. Frank Allen remarked in endorsing the work, "You vote for us, and we will vote for you". Dr. G. H. Macon added his endorsement to the health program. Commissioner Newell moved that the question be reconsidered and John Skinner's second to the motion came in rapid fire. Burroughs made it a majority. Wall voted no, and Chairman Powell called the question. Skinner moved, with Burroughs seconding, that Mrs. Jones be retained as the nurse, and Wall and Newell joined in the acclaim which had a ring of unanimity. The delegation of women departed in high spirits, and the board turned again to routine after settling for a twoyear period a matter which has been buffeted back and forth in a three-cornered cage of politicseconomy--enlightened progress. The delegation felt that progress had won. Election of Miss Leach was particularly quiet after tne more or less "guessing session" of the morning. She was nominated by Skin ner, seconded by Burroughs, and appointed without any apparent opposition. All members of both boards were present. 34 Children Enjoy Story Hour Wednesday Thirty-four children attended ["Children's Story Hour" on the Winston lawn on Wednesday afternoon.
