This money, she said, came through the following channels: Old Age Assistance, $1,632; Aid to Dependent Children S415; WPA, $2,388.28; CCC Camps $1,950.00. Due to crop reductions, Mis: Leach said, many persons are find ing memseives not placed on iarnv this year. "Tenants who though they were going to work for th< same landlords this year are bein? told that they will have to look foi other employment, and this is resulting with an added burden or the relief office. We are certifying needy heads of families as fast a; the case workers can certify case; and are trying to get new project: set up as rapidly as possible in ordei to relieve the situation; however this takes some time as every project has to be worked out, spo:nsorec and approved before work can be started." Miss Leach said that there are still a number of uninvestigated cases of old people asking for pensions in her office but that they are being investigated as fast as they can be gotten to. Over 500 Watch Lions Club Win In Donkey Ball Game More than 500 persons gathered at the Fair Grounds on Wednesday night and shook with laughter foi approximately an hour as they witnessed the donkey baseball game between members of the Warrenton Lions Club and a team com ixrsed of persons not belonging to the civic organization. ? The donkeys lived up to their reputation by balking and acting contrary to the desires of the players, and the players lived up to prediction by finding themselves in ridiculous predicaments as they coaxed, slapped, and pulled the stubborn animals around the bases and about the flood-lighted field in quest of the ball. No tragedies resulted from the unique sport, although many players went over their animals; and Eugene Odom fell with such force that he jarred the ground for a distance of several feet. Bob Bright 11? 1 was apparently 'tempuiaiuj uamu when he received a hard blow on the side of the face from the ball which came from the batter's box, but he regained his posture in a moment or so and remained in the game as pitcher. The game ended pretty shortly after "Dynamite," one of the kicking donkeys, was brought out tc furnish transportation around the bases. After knocking the ball out in the field the players met; with little success in approaching this animal for a ride jto first, and the side was soon thrown out. The other animals were rather gentle, so much so that some of the players picked them up by the front feet and made them run for the ball when they refused to go under their own steam The game ended ten to four in favor of the Lions. 7-Year-Old Girl Pliarms In Recital Macon, May 4.?An event unique in the annuals of Warren count] occurred last Tuesday evening ir the Macon High School auditorium when Mrs. John Monroe Colemar presented Margaret MacRae Shaw seven-year-old daughter of Mr. anc Mrs. Robert Hill Shaw of Macon, ir a piano recital.

Highway 43 To Be Surface Treated Within 6 Months The six or seven miles stretch of | * < ' dirt road on highway No. 43, from j Essex to this side of Areola, will , probably be surfaced treated within . the next five or six months, the Board of County Commissioners has , been advised by J.

Replying to requests and recom- r , mendations made by the board in v regard to surfacing this short piece , of read, Mr. Gardner wrote: "I am ] , glad to advise we have already submitted this project for approval to : be included in the next fiscal year's program, beginning July 1, 1938, and ; I hope the work will be done dur- s ing the summer or early fall.'' 1 ; Why the State Highway Commis- 1 ' sion surface treated the road until 8 {it approximately reached the Waij- f i j ren county line and then left a dirt r ! stretch of six or seven miles' on this f I highway has long been a mystery * |1 to Warren county persons and a ? source of complaint among those r ' who are inclined to feel that this 1 county has been discriminated jf against in the state's road building! program. Completion of this short i' strip of road will make it lwssible g to travel from the seashore to the * mountains through Warren county ^ on Highway 43 without leaving the 8 hardsurface. ^ r J At the same time Mr. Gardner ) advised the commissioners that this , project would be submitted for ap- ^ . prcval, he informed the board that , it would be impossible to carry out , their recommendations in regard to ^ , a road in Judkins from U.

On this I s . matter he wrote in part: 1 I [I "I note that the County Commis- j i sioners request that this road be j r completed as soon as possible, and c . in this connection it was not our j t i intention to make any extensive im- j r provement in this road.
