Small Response To Unemployment Census Taking Judging by the cards which have een returned to the post office ere, that has been no great amount f response in Warren county to the lation-wide census of all unemployd and partly employed persons /hich was started on Tuesday of his week through an act of Conress and under the direction of 'resident Roosevelt. Postmaster Fred Moseley stated esterday that while he would not orm a guess as to the number of ensus cards which had been maild in, that there had been comaratively few and that the census ad not met with the success which j e had hoped it would. The cards were distributed broughout Warren county by the ! lails and through personal delivery j n Tuesday and all those who reeive them have until midnight of tt 4-r\ fill nuf nnfl vn ittbui u<x,y i/u ij.ii i/iicm vjiiu aim i urn them to Washington free of harge through the mails. The purpose of the census is to et as near as possible an accurate ount of the unemployed and part/ employed, and the means of ariving at this information was by lading to every family of the fnited States a census card to be illed out and returned to Washlgton for tabulation and analysis. In a radio speech Sunday night resident Roosevelt explained the urpose of the census and made an rgent plea for all those who are nemployed or partly unemployed nd are able to work and want to ork to fill out the cards. He said lat every unemployed member of family should fill out and return card but that it was not necesiry for those who are already emloyed to fill them out. An "unemloyed" person was defined as a erson of either sex of any color ho is not working, who is able to ork, and who wants to work. A partly unemployed'' person was efined as a person of either sex of ny color who is employed part me, who is able to do more work ad is looking for more work. lev. O. I.

Pour of the five illicit manufacturing plants were picked up in Shocco township on Thursday of last week and a week prior to this date a raid was made in Nutbush township and a large plant was r.anf.iirpri hv Warrpn rnimtv nffirprs. supplemented by men from the Federal department. No men were caught in the act of manufacturing whiskey but as the result of observation and information officers took two negroes, Alfred and Solomon Kearney, into custody following the raid in Shocco township last Thursday and the men, according to Sheriff Pinnell, admitted Friday that they were guilty of manufacturing whiskey. They were tried in Recorder's court Monday and each given a four months road sentence suspended upon the condition that $25 00 fines n n rl rnurt pnctc ho noirl onH fhaf. they remain of good behavior.

Officers made a check of Warrenton, South Hill and Henderson yesterday but were unable to locate the tobacco or find any clues leading to the identity of fhn rnhhnr nr rnhhnrc Two weeks ago Sam Satterwhite of Manson lost several hundred pounds of tobacco to thieves. Whether the same men committed both crimes is a matter of speculation among officers.

Speaking before about 75 persons who had gathered for the meeting, Rev. H. N.

Hunting Season Opens In Warren County Saturday Sportsmen throughout the county eagerly await the dawn of Saturday when the hunting season for quail, rabbit and turkey will open in North Carolina. Ao io iiciiQllxr t.Vio no to fnr t.ViA rvost. several weeks huntsmen have been giving more attention to their dogs, cleaning their guns and oiling their boots for a trek through the fields and woods on the opening day of the season. Many have had their dogs out in the afternoons and on Sunday in an effort to "spot" some coveys of quail and harden their dogs to the point where they will be able to stand a full day of running. While apparently there was a good season for bird raising this past spring, there seems to be no niticeable increase in the supply this year. On the other hand, according to those who should know, the coveys seem to be rather small this year, averaging about ten or twelve birds to the gang. On the eve of the opening of the season, E. Hunter Pinnell, game and fire warden, cautions everyone to be careful with smokes and matches so there will be no forest fires started. He also commented on the fact that a license is necessary to hunt, and staed that these permits may be obtained from the Clerk of Court, hardware stores and from various other places throughout the county. Local Gridders Win Over Enfield, 19-13 Warrenton's high school football team pulled out of a losing streak here Monday by defeating Enfield High to the tune of 19-13. The ball was carried over the goal line by Dick Miles for Warrenton's first touchdown, and CoCaptain Peete made a successful kick for the extra point. Billy Hedgepeth, who starred in the backfield for Warrenton by his gains through the line and good running, scored two touch-downs. Enfield made one of its touchdowns by line plays and the other by intercepting a pass meant for a Warrenton man. Dick Ward and Mac Aycock starred for Warrenton in line plays. The John Graham team plays its Thanksgiving game here next Wednesday afternoon against Norlina. This game, it was predicted, will be a very good and hotly contested due to the fact that these teams played to a scoreless tie earlier in the season. The public is called upon to support the team and attend the games.
