This Action came after J. V.

The Board refused ia request of
W. P. Alston of Warrenton that he

ings in Warren schools in consideration
of certain concessions in

o do nothing that could be contrued
as encouraging the purchasng
of school jewelry under present
onditions.
Mr. Alston requested that a truck
>e sent beyond the old Connell
;chool house in the Fork section
n order that children might be

It was ordered that the State

Welfare Officer
Asks That Gifts Be
Confined to County
"Many deserving and interesting
:ases in Warren county need aid,"
tfiss Lucy I. Ldach, welfare officer,
vrites this week in asking that citi:ens
confine their contributions to
ocal agencies in order that the peo)le
of this county will receive the
jenefits of the gifts.
The message from the welfare officer
follows:
"Many deserving and interesting
;ases in Warren county need aid.
Vloney is needed to buy books for
school children, and mlany school
children have no decent clothes to
?o to school in. Money is needed
:or medical attention for the poor.
Many have good gardens but absolutely
no money in case of sickness
or misfortune of any kind.
"At the last meeting of the Warren
County Welfare bolard the
members decided to urge Warren
;ounty citizens to keep their money
ind old clothes in the county. The
poor in our county are our responsibility
and we need not expect aid
from outside agencies this year, as
nther counties have their own problems
and financial responsibilities.
"If any individual or organiza
tion wish to help our work, kindly
send check to Miss Gayle Tarwater.
If any prefer helping some parti. J
cular case, I will be glad to tell
them of cases needing aid."

WARRENTON, COUNTY
W.G. ELLINGTON
IS STILL MISSING
Police Unable to Locate Former
Warrenton Man Who
Disappeared Last Week
NO OLUES ARE FOUND
Efforts on the part of police, radio
broadcasting and newspaper publicity
have failed to shed any light
on the strange disappearance of
Williard G. Ellington, 30-year-old
son of W. C. Ellington, who has
beeing missing since Wednesday of
1 o of ttmolr tt?V?AV4 V?<-v
xciot/ wcciv wiicu lie iciu a uiug otuic
at Rocky Mount, where he was employed,
to come to Warrenton for a
visit to his relatives.
Belief of foul play has been expressed
by his father and by the
Rocky Mount police force which
inaugurated a search for the missing
drug clerk when he failed to
return to work Monday morning
and it was learned that he had not
been seen at Warrenton.
Little hope for the well being of
Mr. Ellington was entertained yesterday
afternoon by his father who
stated that his son usually informed
him when he was contemplating
a trip and informed him as to his
whereabouts. The theory that he
wlas robbed and killed while on the
way to Warrenton was avanced by
the Rocky Mount police on Wednesday
after their efforts to get a
trace of the missing man by local
search and through State agencies
failed.
Mr. Ellington asked his employers
at the Rocky Mount drug store to
permit him to visit his relatives in
Warrenton and promised to return
early Thursday. When he had not
returned Sunday, his brother, W.
V. Ellington, learned from his parents
that Ellington had not visited
Warrenton. No trace could be found
of Mr. Ellington and Wednesday
and Thursday broadcasting stations
began a search for him after newspapers
had carried accounts of his
disappearanceDescribed
as five feet ten, light
straight hair, weight 130 pounds,
and has a peculiar red birth mark
on left wrist, Mr. Ellington left
Rocky Mount wearing a light grey
suit and straw hat. It is not known
how he left Rocky Mount, but he
was without an automobile and it
is thought that he was hitch-hiking.
His employers could iadvance no
reason why he should have left suddenly.
They said he was an industrious
worker and they liked his
service. He worked steadily at the
store for two years.

Eels Cause Autos i
To Skid On Bridge
NIANTIC, Conn., Sept. 9.?Just
so long as fishermen left only the
remains of their daytime catches on
the bridge over Niantic river here,
things were all right. But when the
night anglers, fishing at night, left
eels in the roadway, things came to
a pretty pass. Two or three auto accidents
caused by machines skidding
over eels led to selectmen of
the town putting a ban on night
fishing from the bridge.

iY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1931
TOWN BOARD HAS
LENGTHY SESSION
Members Discuss Street Repairs
And Finances; Little
Action Is Taken
CAN ONLY BORROW $2500
Meeting in regular session on
Monday night the Board of Town
Commissioners voted to have Ridgeway
Street shoulder repairing included
in the job of re-conditioning
the town streets now under way.
A recommendation of E. E. Gillam
that a binder be nut on Main street
ihardsurface was rejected after the
board was told that it would cost
approximately $1,000 dollars.
Although one of the longest sessions
in months, the meeting of
Monday night was marked by little
definite action. Most of the time of
the board was taken up with discussion
of street work and town
finances. O. A. Speight, in charge of
the laying of the coating of tar
and gravel on the streets of Warrenton,
was introducsd to the board
members by William Boyd, town
engineer, at which time Mr. Speight
announced that work would be
started the next morning.
E. E. Gillam told the members
that the shoulders on Ridgeway
street were badly washed and that
rocks and dirt were constantly
washing away until the condition
of the street made a hazard of
driving. He recommended that a
tar and gravel binding be placed
there at an estimated cost of around
$186. He also reported that his committee
was making repairs to sidewalks
and recommended a binding
coat for Main Street.
The Street Chairman told the
Doara mat ne naa inspected mam
Street with the town engineer and
that they had found the sealing
coat beginning to break through in
a few places. In the event that
water gets under the asphalt covering,
it would not he long before this
street would be in the same condition
as has been noticed on the
neighboring town of Henderson's
Main thoroughfare. Mr. Gillam was
of the opinion that the work could
be done much cheaper while the
crew repairing the streets were here.
The engineer said that the work
could not be safely neglected much
longer, but might hold up satisfactorily
for another year.
The commissioners agreed to repairing
Ridgeway Street, but turned
thumbs down on the Main Street
proposition. It was pointed, out that
the town could only borrow $2500
under its present charter Without
a special election by the people.
The present street work will cost
around $4,000, and the members
were afraid that in the event that
taxes were slow in coming forward
this year, that they could not finance
the sealing project.
Warrenton's tax rate will remain
at the same $1 figure that has prevailed
for years. Fifty-five cents of
this amount will be used for debt
service and 45 cents for general
fnnri niimARAQ

John Hudson, filling station operator

injuries were bad, he was not seriously
hurt, it was said.

Streets of Warrenton have this
week been undergoing treatment by
the Bituminous Earthroad Corporation
of Raleigh. This work is expected
to be completed by September
20.
Ma^n avenues of travel within
the city Unfits are receiving attention
first as an effort to minimize
inconvenience to traffic, after which
work on the side streets will take
place, it was said.
Work on Main street leading out
of south Warrenton and on the
road leading out by White's gin has
been virtually completed, it is understood,
and the road crew will
probably move to Ridgeway street
next.
The contract for re-surfacing
Warrenton streets was given the
Bituminous Earthroad Corporation
by the town commissioners at a
meeting on the afternoon of August
20 following a meeting of the street
committee which body gave its approval
to the Raleigh concern on a
competitive bid basis. There were
799 square yards to be re-surfaced
at a cost of approximately $3200 to
the town.
Plans Being Made
For Organizing A
1 _ A .
Poultry Association
By R. H. BRIGHT
We are going ahead with plans
for organizing a Poultry Association
in this County. The purpose of this
association will be to market the
surplus of poultry and eggs as well
as to put up a standard product.
We also plan to purchase our feed
in cooperative shipments and save
on the purchase.
A meeting was held in Norlina on
September 8j for the purpose of
drawing up plans and getting the
views of the people on the rriatter.
About twenty persons were present
and they seemed to be very much
interested in the undertaking.
A meeting was also held in War.
renton Sept. 9th, and the number
of persons present indicated that
they were in favor of carrying out
the plans.
This would mean ia yearly income
for the members and also
.more profit on the products. To do
this we must first locate a market
and then proceed to build a reputation
for our products.
Feeding and the cost of feeds are
[the main costs of poultry raising,
j We can purchase feeds of all kinds
I at a great saving if we will only
work together and buy in sufficient
quanities. Miss Julia Dameron is

Requests Older
Students To Stay
In Warren Schools
"I have before me a request from
the Emergency Committee for Employment
appointed by the President
of the United States in which
it is pointed out that under the
present conditions attempts by boys
and girls fourteen to eighteen years
old to obtain employment are practical
useless; and that is such people
obtain employment they only
serve to aggrevate the unemployment
situation among grown people
who must support dependents," J.
Edward Allen, superintendent of
TTT-__?? t.hiS WCCk U1
WfcUXCAA OVUWiw,
'a letter addressed to committeemen
in charge of the eight-month
schools.
"The President and his committee,"
the letter continued, "therefore
urge us to do all that we can
to keep all of the larger boys and
girls in schools during this present
crisis. At their request I bring this
matter by your attention. The President
and his committee also urge
us to provide "Guidance Progriams"
and adequate school facilities to
hold these people in school. This
we have done in this system. And
I believe that we are better prepared
to make school worth while
and interesting to the larger boys
and girls than we have ever been
before."

School Tax
ut 38 Cents
Board of Education Approves
School Budget On Monday
Afternoon
17 CENTS STATE RATE
The co&nty wide school tax rate
is reduced 38 cents as a result of
the State taking over the operation
of the six-month term, it was revealed
in the six months school
budget approved by the board of
education and turned over to the
Board of county Commissioners on
Monday afternoon.
The rate set for the six-moths
term for the present year lis 27
cents, compared with 65 cents for
this purpose last year. Not only will
the rate be lower this year, but valuations
have been reduced 10 per
cent, which means an additional
lightening of the burden on real
estate and personal property.
In arriving at the 27 cents levy
the Board of Education provided 17
cents to raise the 15 per cent of last
year's valuation required by the
state. Current expenses called for
3c; capital outlay, 6c; debt service
lc.
The special district taxes for
schools will have to be paid in addition
to the county-wide levy. Superintendent
Allen said he anticipated
little changes in the district rates
from those of the past year. He
pointed out that in some districts
they would be less, due to various
validation, but over the county as
a whole he though there would be
little change
The county budget has not yet
been approved, but it is expected
that an additional cut will be made
here, due to the fact that the State
has taken over the operation and
maintenance of the roads.
