PAGE 8 THE TORCH A department conducted for The Warren County Memorial Library By MABEL DAVIS The Librarian . ' I New Books The following new books anrived yesterday and are ready for circulation this morning: "Obscure Destinies," Willa Cather; "The Store," T. S. S'.ribling; "Happiness Hill," Grace Livingston Hill; "Saint ^-1-n.w.kowa,.. "Thp Saturnin," Jean Bunng Bush," Sigrid Undset; "Piartmus Select Works." An order for children's books will be sent In today. The books mentioned need no introduction as the authors are well kown. Willa CaMier ranks high among American novelists. Her "Shadows on the Rock" was awarded the Pulitzer prize, a few months ago. Sigrid Undset, Norwegian writer and winner of the 1931 Nobel prize, has long been popular with our readers. Schlumberger is a distinguished French novelist, playwright and crfcic. Time (magazine) referring to "The Store" by T. S. Stiribling, says it is the most important American novel of the year. *" ? Addition to Jones Memorial Shelf We are indebted to those friends of his, who two years ago contributed funds to maintain a collection of books in memcxry of Brodie Jones, for a copy of "America Adventures", by Julian Street. The author who is not a native of ?the South, writes his appreciation of things southern in this book. Read it you will feel (repaid. More Thanks The librarian acknowledges with thanks the cooperation of "a friend" who, according to her custom of several years standing, left one dollar wocv thp first of the month, nt nit u^uii v*?v - - ? and to Mr. Mabrey, of Hollister, who having heard of our orphaned state, also lefli; one dollair at the desk last month. To them, and to the members of the Fifty-Fifty Club who are so generously supplying new books every months, the librarian feels most grateful. They are strengthening the moral of those who are trying to carry on a greati work. t J 8 NEW TEACHERS1 (Continued from Page 1) I I Miss Ida Holland, Miss Floy Brewer, Miss Lillah Glenn Nelson.

That the quadrennial assessment be abolished and the board of nrvunltr orvmmiccmnorc omnrvWOroH 1/UlUilJ ^V/llUlUOOJ.UllVA 0 wv to make such adjustments in assessed values as they deem necessary each year. 3. Thalt, whereas, it has been impossible for the county commissioners in various counties to reduce the valuation on property to what it should have been on account of the fadt that it would have been impossible to balance the budget of our general fund on account of the constitutional limitations of 15 cents fcr general county purposes, the General Assembly is asked to create special purposes' in order that the property may be put on the tax books at its reasonable value and at the same time balance the budgets. 4. That the time for listing of taxes be changed from May 1 to January 1. 5. Thalt the question of a complete revaluation of real property, op q horizontal reduction in values. Warrenton, North Carolina be left in the discretion of the boards of county commissioners. 6. That the terms of offices of county commissioners be extended from two to four years, the present system of alternate elections being kept in force. Resolutions were also adopted: Endorsing the work and administra1 .ion of Director Charles M. Johnson, of the Local Government Commission. Asking the State Highway Commission to take over the 30-day prisoners insofar as possible. Endorsing the principle of the plan of the Institute of Government to be held at Chapel Hill under the direction of Albert Coates, of the University law school. The retiring president, George L. Salisbury, Greensboro, received the endorsement of the convention when ne suggested the commissioners exchange ideas on ways of taking advantage of the federal relief funds. SCHOOLS TO RUN (Continued from Page 1) lacking only one pupils for an extra teacher, that some relief might be provided by the state board of equalization. A ccpy of this ld;ter was sent to Leroy Martin, Executive Secretary of the State Board of Equalization. On Tuesday Mr. Martin wrote Superintendent Allen that; 'it is not my understanding that this board has agreed to allot a fifth teacher to ihe Af'.cn-Elberon school. With reference to the 25 high school pupils attending the Afton-Elberon school last year, it was the decision of this board when the original allcU.ment of teachers was made that these should be transferred to the Warrenton district. No action rescinding this decision has been taken." Superintendent Allen said that the probable outcome of the matter would be that both Afton-Elberon and Warrenton would begin operation on the same schedule as that cf last year, and that both schools would probably apply for an additional teacher upon the basis of expected increased enrollment. FARMERS MAKE (Continued firom Page 1) '.he tour, joined the group at Hundley's Spring to enjoy lemonade and barbecue and brunswick stew prepared to a queen's taste by Frank Hawks.

Hardy, editor of the Norlina Headlight, Sheriff W. J. Pinnell, W. A. Conneli Jr., and J. C. Howard, government loan agent. Preceding the speechmaking, cards bearing the names of these present were dropped into a box and a hundred pounds of Arcadian Nitrate of Soda awarded to the first five names drawn. Winners were L. H. Kilian, T. W. King, T. T. Hawks, Bignall Jones, and Harry Limer. Accompanying the farmers cn the tour were Bob Bright, teacher of agriculture at Warrenton, C. G. Lawrence, teacher of agriculture a!t Norlina, and A. W. Parker, teacher of agriculture at Littleton. VARIETY OF CASES (Continued from Page 1) by Julius Banzet who argued that the mere smell of whiskey was not sufficient; evidence to convict his client. An appeal was noted after Judge Taylcr had announced his decision. Mack Moore, negro from the Norlina section, was found guilty of assault, and was fined $5.00 and costs and given a four months read sentence. The latter sentence was suspended upon 'the condition that the costs and fine were paid. Tom Hayes, negro, was found guilty of trespass and was sentenced to the reads for a period of two months.
