M. Haithcock and Z. M. Newman, representing the Democratic membership, and W. J. Bishop representing the Republican membership on the newly appointed County Board of Elections, met in the court house at Warrenton on Saturday, April 2 for purpose of organizing. C. M. Haithcock of Macon was elected chairman, and Z. M. Newman of Norlina was elected secretary. Upon instructions from the State Board of Elections the local coun ty board announced that all candidates filing for legislative, county and township officers must have their notices of candidacy and filing fees in the possession of the County Board of Elections by 6 o'clock p. m. on Saturday, April 23. Candidates can file with any of the three members of the county board. Section 88 of the Election Law provides that the filing fee required of a county or legislative candidate is one-half of one per cent of the annual salary of the offices contested for. It further provides that candidates for the office of Surveyor, Coroner, County Commissioner, Member of the Board of Education and any township office shall pay a (Continued on page 8) Ton TVacK A WW A J A MViA A A MVI1 Dumped On Streets, Town Board Says A halt must be placed on the practice of dumping unusually large amounts of rubbish on the streets for the town truck to haul off, the board of town commissioners ruled at their meeting here on Monday night. The board expressed itself as being anxious to cooperate with the citizens in removing trash and garbage and extend all the aid it could in helping citizens keep their places attractive, but at the same time members stated that they felt that many citizens were trying to take unfair advantage of a facility provided for the benefit of all the townspeople.

The change of date is due to the early opening and blooming of shrubs and flowers which the warm spring weather caused to unfurl their beauty sooner than was predicted. Other towns of the state which were included in the tour also moved up their dates for inspection for the same reason. Gardens of Warrenton which will be open to the public are those of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jackson, known as tne William isaton nouse j and famous for its box bushes; Mrs. Katherine P. Arrington, also!

Harris has planked down his one dollar and holds the distinction of being the first, and so far the only, person in Warren county seeking a political office to file notice of his candidacy with the County Beard of Elections, as is required of every candidate before he can offer his name to the electorate for the purpose of being chosen to fill a county office, or to represent the county in the General Assembly. Mr. Harris is seeking to become coroner of the county, a position which is now held by Jasper W. Shearin of Churchill. Rumor has it that former Coroner Ed Petar will enter the race before the filing date for county offices expires on April 23rd at 6 o'clock. With the exception of Mr. Harris, who for several weeks had been regarded as a potential candidate, no new candidate definitely waded into the race this week; however, it is regarded as almost a certainty that several other persons will publicly express their intentions of running for a county office next week. Warehouse Is Decorated For Show April 18th The long, hard and tedious task of dressing Boyd's warehouse in colors which will offer a striking scene of beauty to all those who come to Warrenton to attend the Automobile Show and Merchants' Exposition has practically been completed, and those who have visited the warehouse and watched the work progress are unanimous in their opinion that the decorations this year surpass those of last year when the Warrenton Lions Club promoted its first Exposition. The patriotic color scheme of red, white and blue is used beneath the ceiling of the building and along the walls are a variety of colors which have been blended to make attractive the booths that have been purchased by business houses for advertising purposes. In the center of the warehouse automobiles will be displayed, with ample floor space left for the high-class free acts which are to be given each night as a feature of the show. The Exposition is to have its formal opening on Monday evening, April 18, when Carl Goerch, editor of The State magazine, comes here to speak. The next outstanding even will be on Tuesday night when Meyer-Davis' orchestra comes to Warrenton to provide music for a dance which is expected to draw crowds from a radius of many miles. His 11-piece band is regarded as being the highest class orchestra which has ever furnished music for a dance in Warrenton. Low-Flying Planes Disturb Worship, Say Ministers Barnstorming planes flying over Warrenton on Sundays between the hours of 9:30 a. m. until 1 o'clock p. m. are proving to be an annoyance to Sunday School and Church goers of the town, it was pointed out to the board of town commissioners here on Monday night by the Rev.

In authorizing Miss Leach to hire additional help to aacist in clearing her office of the large number of applications with which she has been overrun since the Social Security Program went into effect, the board acted in line with recommendations made last month by Clark W. Blackburn, a representative of the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, who at that time told the commissioners ttiat this county was losing thousands of dollars belonging to eligible claimants due to the fact that their cases were not being investigated and certified to the Raleigh office as fast as they should. As a remedy, he suggested that the county employ another case worker, or a trained interviewer. Accompanying miss Leach oeiore the board, William Taylor Jr., a member of the county welfare board, informed the commissioners of the vast scope of duties connected with the welfare office under the Social Security Program and pointed out the handicap which confronted Miss Leach in carrying out her : work in crowded quarters with insufficient help. Reminding the board that she had only two small offices and that one of these was taken over by the Grand Jury when court was in session, Mr. Taylor said that he doubted if there was another welfare officer in the state attempting to carry on her work in such inadequate space and requested of the commissioners that they attempt to provide her with more room, as well as give her additional help in the form of a trained interviewer and a young lady to do stenographic work. The commissioners said they did not know where they could find more suitable quarters, but agreed to give Miss Leach a (Continued on page 4; Invalid Wants To Ride In Automobile There is an invalid white girl in Warren county who would appreciate a ride in an automobile, iMiss Lucy Leach, welfare officer, states this week in listing five opportunities to render service to the unfortunate at the Lenten season.
