All principals told of plans made to carry out the Governor's progiam with a special feature group meeting of adults in every township. R. H. Bright, vocational teacher of the John Graham high school, lead in this phase of the meeting. In addition to the live-at-home program the new course of study proposed by the State was outlined. This calls for more emphasis upon citizenship, health and language. Miss Helen Kersey, national Red Cross representative, addressed the teachers upon Red Cross work and rceived reports of the work of the cafeterias in the schools of Norlina Warrenton and Macon. Numbers of school children needing clothing were reported to her. In the afternoon a meeting of the negro principals and teachers v.as held in the court house. The course of study was outlined and live-at-home program discussed. Plans call fc-r meeting of all negro farmers in every township to carry forward this work. A plan for beautifying the negro schools was revealed when more than 200 ornamental shfubs were received. These were paid for by the pennies of the school children and will be used to beautify the school grounds. Is Supported By Road Committee RALEIGH, Feb. 19?The committee substitute bill embodying the main features of Governcr Gardner's road program?State maintenance of county roads, a six-cent gasoline tax, and reorganization of the State Highway Commission?received an overwhelming favorable vote from the House roads committee yesterday afternoon, and is expected to be reported to the Hcuse this morning by Chairman Connor of Wilson. The last difference of opinion among the majority of committee members was ironed out yesterday with the adoption of a compromise section permitting restricted | gasoline tax rebates.

The bill, which it is understood carried the endorsement of all the, county officials and many Warren county citizens, passed the Senate the day it was introduced, and it is expected that it will be ratified and sent to the Warren county com- j missioners in a few days.

A. Tucker, in charge of Red Cross relief work in Warren said yesterday. "It is impossible for the Red Cross to take care of all who are in needy circumstances. Citizens must realize that this is a national disaster with many sections hit t much harder than we are. The Red , Cross is endeavoring to help as I much as possible, but a line has to 1 be drawn. We feel that it is the landlord's duty to look after his tenants wherever he can. The Red Cross is not going to shoulder his burden, unless and until he signs a statement that he has exhausted his own resources. ' We wish our citizens would realize the gravity of the situation," Mr. Tucker continued. "It is an emergency, calling for the same spirit of sacrifice and aid that ruled America during the war. The Red j_ i. 1 X _ 4-V> /-v L/ioss is not nere tu ligntcu mci burdens of any class, but to keep citizens from starving." Kiwanis Club Pays Food Bill; Girls Aid In Charity Work January food bills were paid by the Warrenton Kiwanis club, Miss Lucy I. Leach, welfare officer, announced yesterday. These totalled $168.86. In addition the welfare officer has received $27.65 from the Misses: Lucy Perry, Elizabeth Smith. Net-| tie Cassada, Frances Vick, Martha Ransom and Mary Powell Pippen, proceeds frcm a recent bridge tournament held at Littleton. Expressing her appreciation of these donations, Miss Leach said that it sometimes seems impossible for a man to secure work in order to provide for his family, and that the assistance of citizens was a Godsend. Tornado Relief Work Is Nearly Completed The Red Cross has practically completed its relief work in the tornado section of Warren, Mrs. Wallace Mustian, Norlina lady in charge of this work, announced yesterday. Only the restoration of the Allgood home to its foundation and possible relief for one other family, being held up pending further investigation, remains. In conducting this work which was initiated by the late Mrs. Elise Mulliken the day following the tornado, the Red Cross assisted 12 families, a total of 75 persons, in several cases furnishing a complete outfit of clothing, and other materials and aiding in the restoration of homes. A total of $338.19 'Was expended for this purp6ss. Of this amount the national Red Cross contributed $212.32. -s NO RECORDER'S COURT !

The two warehouses at Warrenton sold this year more than 4,000.000 pounds of the golden leaf, which, according to local tobacconists, represents an increase of approximately one-third over the sales for the previous year. The market averaged slightly above 10 cents a pound. Tobacco has been low in all sections this year, and due to the fact that the Warrenton market nancuea mucn tobacco from drought aceas, tobacconists say it was further handicapped by having to handle a great deal more common tobacco than in usually the case. Young Man In Jail As Result of Wreck Davis Cranmer, young white man I of Brooklyn, N. Y., is in Warren county jail pending the outcome of injuries to an undentified salesman near Manson yesterday afternoon. Cranmer, it is reported, was hitch-hiking when he was picked up by a flour salesman, and shortly thereafter invited to drive the machine, which he did successfully for several miles. Near Manson Cranmer lost control of the ma- J chine and crashed into the side of a building. The salesman was rushed to the hospital. The extent of his injuries is not known. PERSONAL MENTION Messrs.

Mr. Hunt said that the market price prevailing that day would be paid at the car door. Every effort | is being made to have as many farmers as possible sell chickens there Saturday, not only in order to provide much needed cash, but Warren Is Exceeded By Only One County In Its Credit Rating The percentage of bonded debt to ccunty assets in Warren is less than any county in the State with one exception, according to a recent statement of the department of rural social-economics of the University of North Carolina. Cheroke with only 2.1 per cent of its assets in loans is the only county with a better rating than Warren which has 4.3 per cent of its assets in the form of loans. Last year Warren collected more than 96 per cent of its taxes. The commissioners have been working carefully for the past few years to reduce the debt of the county and have succeeded each year in cutting dawn the total indebtedness. This has been done in spite of the fact that Warren's tax rate is comparatively lower than, in many counties. Commenting upon Warren's rating, a citizen remarked yesterday ' that the affairs of Warren were in much better shape than in the I great majority of private concerns, and said that he felt that much credit for this state of affairs was due to the splendid work on the part of the county commissioners. Warren Has Raised Only $87.50 of Its Red Cross Quota Warren county has cnly raised $37.50 of its $1,000 Red Cross quota, according to reports reaching Miss Mamie Gardner, county treasurer. Commenting upon this yesterday, a leading citizen and active Red Cross worker said that many citizens were responding to appeals - - - for aid in a manner mat was 111311ly creditable to any community. He stressed especially the work of many landlords whose efforts have gone unsung, and of other citizens whose means have been reduced. At the same time he pointed out that there were hundreds of citizens whose incomes has not been diminished and said it was to these mainly that the Red Cross call must make its appeal. Says Time Required For Investigations The Red Cross only helps in absolute destitute circumstances and this requires some time in many cases as all investigations should be thorough, Bob White, Norlina citizen, active in Red Cross work in the tornado section, and in other relief measures, said yesterday. This investigation ip many cases works a hardship on the committee in charge as they have to relie on friends of the destitute and those who are in sympathy with them due to the fact that no one else is interested, he continued. He asked the patience and the assistance of all citizens. Those carrying forward the relief work in Warren are giving their time, their money and their efforts without any compensation other that the consciousness of serving humanity. Black Cat Club To j Sell Cakes And Pies The Black Cat Club, an organization of young ladies of Warrenton, will sell pies, cakes and candies, at Heme Furniture & Supply Company's store on Saturday. Proceeds will be donated to charity. ATTEND MEDICAL MEETING Dr. W. D. Rodgers attended the - -- - ?? Tri-State Medical society meeting < held in Richmond this week, iave A i ri Z=T?

Bright, teacher of Vocational Agriculture in the John Graham high school. Fiddlers To Meet At Norlina School On Friday Night They fiddled well when they were fiddling for the fun of it and they have packed the Norlina school building with citizens who enjoyed (heir music. On Friday night at 8 o'clock fiddlers of this section are expected to exceed all former efforts when they gather at the Norlina school auditorium to play for the benefit of unfortunate school children who must have outside aid. Many fiddlers have signified their intention of being present and an interesting program of favorite numbers has been arranged, according to S. G. Chappell, principal of the school, who is being assisted by John Fleming, Bob White and M C. Johnson. Citizens are urged to be present. Mr. Chappell in explaining the purpose of the convention, said in a letter to J. Edward Allen, superintendent of schools, that "We have constantly had calls from students who were and are in a needy condition in order that they may enter or continue in school. While much has been collected in Norl:na for the needy throughout the county there has long been felt a need for a fund more specifically for relief of school children and prospective school children." ] Mrs. Elise Mulliken Dies In Hospital ; Mrs. Elise Marsteller Mulliken, Notional Red Cross representative who served Warren county in relief wcrk following the tornado disaster at Wise, died in Rex hospital, Raleigh, Friday night. Mrs. Mulliken was on duty at Raleigh when she was stricken with influenza, which developed into pneumonia. Her remains were taken to San Antonio, Texas, Saturday where services and interment took place. Mrs. Mulliken made many friends in Warren county during her relief work here. She arrived at Warrentcn the day after the tornado and at cnce took charge of the relief work which resulted with many of the homeless and hungry being given food and shelter. John M.

The Federal government is requiring every farmer borrowing money under its seed loan act to agree to plant a garden. It is pointed out that this is done, not only to provide food at a lower cost, but because it is realized that the man with a good garden i? a better credit risk. The Red Cross is furnishing seed as a part of its rehabilitation work. These seed, however, are only being provided to those familis which is is feeding in the drought area of the county. Miss Lucy Leach, welfare officer, said that it was taking her funds to provide emergency relief, but tliat she was preaching and doing all in her power to se that as many famihes as possible will grow a garden. Family gardens are being especially stressed in all the schools of the county this week as a part of Governor Gardner's Live-at-Home campaign. R. H. Bright, teacher of vocational argiculture, is pushing this form of work. He said yesterday that he would be glad to assist as far as possible in aiding farmers with their garden work this year.. Bolton, agricultural teacher at the Warren County Training School, is pushing this work among members of the negro race. Mr. Bright said that now was the proper time to plant rape, onions, turnips and potatoes. These will provide a quick source of food at a low cost, he said. There are on hand at the John" Graham high school several bulletins on gardens that the vocational teacher said he would be glad to give them to interested citizens. In addition to this work, Mr. Bright is planning to have a school garden at the John Graham school this year. Not only to grow vegetables but to train members of his agricultural class in the proper method of conducting this work. That there is more than the usual interest in gardens was manifested this week when Allen, Son fc Co., lccal merchants, sold 2,000 ;abbage plants in slightly more ;han an hour. A second order was jlaced for 5.000, and these were exit usted the afternoon they arrived. \ third ordr has gone in for 10,000 unro onH Mr Alien savs he an ;icipates no difficulty in selling these. Other local stores are displaying seed and baskets of seed onions ire in front of many of the business establishments. Merchants report sales of seed as being good. W. A. Miles Hardware Co., local merchant who has built a reputation for his window displays, has i very attractive window this week filled with variety of seed, and tainted in large letters across the nirrow in the back of the window s "Have A Garden.
