Political Rumors Rise As Primary Draws Nearer With the June primry a little better than two months off, the political bee is beginning to buz;; about the bonnets of a number o;f Warren county persons, but so far no one has received a sting sufficiently forceful to cause him to cry out publicly that he would be a candidate for a county office. Despite the non-committal attitude on the part of those who are said to be sending up trial balloons or feeling out the waters, I rumors persists that there will be opposition to the present membership of the Board of Count}' Commissioners, that Coroner Jasper Shearin will be opposed for office, and that Sheriff W. J. Pinnell will have a race on hand in the June primary. Political prognosticators state with an air of authority that A. D.

Blackburn, Field Social Work Representative of the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, appeared before the Board of County Commissioners to request additional help for the Superintendent of Public Welfare of Warren County and additional money for administrative purposes. A misunderstanding of the purpose of his appearance before the Board and of his remarks made at thattime has led to certain criticism of the County Superintendent which we feel is unjustified and unfounded and should not go unanswered. "While it is regrettably true that Warren County's quota of beneficiaries under the WPA and Social j Security Acts lias not been filled, this deficiency cannot be charged to the County Superintendent and her staff.
