This Year From St* Fund, Equalizat Warren county's part of the tax reduction fund allotted by the State 1 Board of Equalization to various counties of the State was announc- ' i ed Saturday as being $11,071.50, 1 which is $2,000 less than was given j last year by the State toward the > support of local schools, i The total sum being distributed ; this year by the State is $989,861.70, ^ * i _ A inn AA 1 ? XI. XU/v j wnicn is ^oiu^jo.ou less uian me ( amount appropriated by the 1931 ' ' General Assembly. This fund has ! undergone a reduction along with ( 1 all other State appropriations ex- . 1 cept that for the six months school : ' term. , | In announcing the allotments the ( ! State Board cf Equalization issued , 1 a statement explaining (the appro- , ' priation of the funds, which said, 3 in part: ' ! :? "The allotments from this fund' are made upon a need and ability f" basis. The need is represented by the cost calculated far two months e upon the six months State standard. The ability of the district to g meet this cost is the amount proe duced by 'the levy of a uniform tax rate upon a determined valuation. To illustrate: District A has a valu n ation of $1,000,000?a 17-cent rate ? will produce $1,700?"the cost for two r> months is $3,000?the State aid is 3 the difference between the two, or $1,300. 0 t Dameron To Head Committee In Charge Distributing Flour 1 W. D. Dameron was appointed chairman of a central committee to \ handle distribution of flour among i destitute citizens of Warren county . i at a meeting of the local chapter i of the American Red Cross held In [ the office of the Boyd-Gillam Mo; tor Company on last Friday. W. N. ; Boyd, local chairman, presided. Mr. Berres, field representative, was . present and suggested organization , plans for distributing this flour, given by the American Government through the American Red Cross. ' The central committee is request- ' ed to meet with Mr. Dameron at ' Warren ton on next Monday at 11 ! o'clock. Members of the committee, 3 in addition to Mr. Dameron, are J Evans Coleman, John T. Gupton, Chas. E. Foster, and Hunter Pin- 5 nell. ] Government flour is being dis- ' tributed in the various townships I by the following citizens: Warrenton, H. A. Moseley; Haw- ? tree, B. L. Newell; Nutbush, J. C. t Watkins; Smith Creek, J. P. Wil- c liams; Roanoke, H. L. Wall; Six- c pound, J. H. Gilliland; Judkins, J. I P. Harris; River, S. D. King; Fish- t ing Creek, W. T. Davis; Fork, J. ? C. Powell; Shocco and Sandy Creek, c M. K. Ayccck. t "The above parties," Mr. Boyd I said in notifying Mr. Dameron of his appointment, "have instructions i to make distribution only to the j parties in their respective town- j ships, in order to avoid duplications, r but if you, and your committee, c think advisable to make any I changes in any of the above, use s your own judgment, and it will be I f perfectly agreeable with the oldL committee, which has had charge." ^ Davis Willing To t Give Thief Key "If thq thief who stole the generator and switch off of my Ford i will come to me, I will be glad to! J give him the switch key," John S. Davis, former Warren County represertative, stated yesterday. Mr. Davis said that he had absslutely no use for the key now since he had bought a new switch and that perhaps it would be of t some value to the person who had t the switch for which it was made. The car of the Creek citizen was f l-obbed one night this weak while g ?t his home. s REVIVAL AT HEBRON J A series of revival services will s be conducted at the Hebron Metho- j. disi church, beginning on Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

' e hp m WARRENTON, COUNTY eive $2,000 Less ite Tax Reduction ion Board Announces "The total valuation of all districts operating an extended term ivas fixed at $2,669,646,612. The cost }f all extended terms of two months amounts to $4,221,776.73. This is a reduction of $165,867.38 from the figure of last year and was brought about by the reduction made by this Board in the six months standard and through districts failing to operate last year. In spite of a reduced cost it was necessary because of a reduced fund to increase the uniform rate preprequisite to participating from the 14 cents of last year to 17 cents. Even though an increased State participating rate was made necessary it is believed that economies and in seme instances balances brought over will enable the vast majority of the districts to avoid an increase in their tax rate. "It is now apparent that without even the reduced amount of this fund it would be impossible for 5C per cent of the districts of the State to attempt to keep their school doors open for the proposed eight months, There are 790 districts that share in this fund in amounts ranging from 1 percent of their cost to 90 per cent. This fund is doubtedly doing more to provide equality of educational facilities and at the same time reduce and equalize taxes than any other appropriation the State is making." Boyd Sounds Note Of Warning; Urges Citizens To Can Sounding a note of warning that :he scarcity of money this year will prevent the purchase of food, W. M.

Reports reaching Warrenton from Norlina and Littleton are to the effect that very satisfactory progress is being made towards raising necessary funds. Committees from the Warrenton special school district will report this morning at the office of G. R. Frazier. Mr. Frazier, in charge of solicitations in the district outside of Warrenton, said yesterday that farmers were responding libeirally and indications were that their goal of around $200 would be reached. Efforts are being made to raise a like amount in Warrenton. M. C. McGuire, Bignall Jones, Ed Gillam and R. B. Boyd, solicitors at Warrenton, had not completed, their canvass last night, but expressed optimism over the prospects of reaching their goal. It was learned yesterday from a reliable source that satisfactory arrangements would be made through private subscription among the negro race to retain agricultural teachers at Wise and Warrenton negro schools. The board of education in its school budget for the fiscal year provided for the retention of these five teachers, but the commissioners in special session on July 14, refused to levy a three-cent rate to raise necessary funds, and instead levied a one and one-half cent levy to care for substitue subjects. At that time a petition bearing more than 700 names requesting that these teachers be retained was presented to the board, but the commissioners decided in favor of the reduced levy. Since the commissioners' session special meetings have been held in the special districts where indignation was expressed over the commissioners' action and plans made to keep the teachers through private subscription. Donations have ranged from $1 to $25 with the larger amount being given by a farmer of the Afton-Flberon section with the remark that "I know that Bob Bright saved me at least that much money during the past year." Heavy Rain Brings Relief From Heat A good, heavy rain, beginning late Wednesday afternoon and continuing for an hour and a half, brought relief from the sizzling heat wave which has blanketed Warren f>nnnt.v for the nast three weeks. July has been an unusually hot and dry month and most crops were suffering from abnormally high temperatures and lack of moisture in this section when the rain began falling. From various reports reaching Warrenton the rain was general and its welcome was apparent by the disposition of the people at large.
