Miss Bowden Here As New George Reed Teacher Miss Lorraine Bowden of Mocks ville arrived here on Tuesday to assume her duties as a George Reed teacher in the John Graham High School, a position which was held last year by Miss Emalyne Evans. Her services consist of outside classroom work a$ well as giving instructions in Home Economics in the school house. Duties of the George Reed teacher, who is employed ten months out of the yaar, are outlined as lows: Teaching in the day school program, supervising and directing home projects for each student, conducting adult classes where communities are interested, pariic ? ? ?/\vw?v?nv?ifTr nnfixrifiao lpailUIl ill UUHilllUIliVJ avwviuiw which have as their objective the betterment of home living. The course of study in the school room includes the following: Instruction in foods, training in home beautification, home nursing, clothing instruction, personal grooming, home and family relationship, and child care and training. Teachers oi vocational subjects are under the supervision of local principals and superintendents, but are not in the class with the regular state allotted number of teachers. Two-thirds of Miss Mowden's salary is paid through the State Division of Vocational Education of the State Department of Public Instruction. During the two months when she is employed when school is not in session, Miss Bowden will devote her time to home visiting, supervising home projects, conducting classes for adults or out-of-school | youths where they are desired andi assisting in other community activities. When not in the field working, Miss Bowden may be located at the John Graham School during work hours- At present she is making her home at Hotel Warren. Says B Company Is Orderly (Jroupi Members of Company B are not only good soldiers who have made a mark for themselves on the drill fields and rifle ranges but they are also a well behaved bunch of men, judging from a letter received this week by Captain Harold R. Skillman from C. G. Ward, division passenger agent of the Seaboard Airj Line Railway, over which the boys( traveled recently to Mississippi where they underwent strenuous training for two weeks. Mr. Ward's reference to the conduct of the men reads as follows: "I want to take this opportunity of again congratulating you on the fine behavior and the good condition that the entire train was left in- It was undoubtedly the best behaved bunch of boys in my experience with troop trains." Half-Holidays End J Here Next Week! Vacation ends next week for employers and employees who have been taking a half-holiday on Wednesday afternoons during the hot summer months. With the coming of September business houses here will remain open on Wednesday afternoons just as they do on other afternoons during the weekMr Graham Boyd left Tuesday, for Williamston tobacco market. I t lir II; lrrenton, county of via NO MT RAKE ARMORY PROJECT Boards Say Fixed Budgets Prohibit Increase Donation This Fiscal Year CAN NOT VOTE BONDS Plans to make a proposed armory here a self-liquidating project through rents to be paid by joint donations from the town and county ended in a stalemate here yesterday when the two boards meeting in a joint session in the court house each declared that its hands were tied so far as any increase for .his year is concerned because the budgets for the present fiscal year have been made up. The joint meeting of the Warren and Warren ton boards followed a meeting of the county commissioners for the purpose of calling an election on October 11 to determine whether the county should Issue bonds to enlarge the court house and to make school additions through PWA aid. Letters from the bonding company attorneys and from the State Attorney General read by County Attorney Julius Banzet revealed that bonds could not be issued by the county for the purposes of erecting an armory and , building a fish pond. The com- ; missioners then issued orders for i an election for the court house and ; school additions projects. After the two boards had been called into joint session, Captain Harold Skillman pointed out that ; the armory could be made a self- ] liquidating project and therefore 1 eligible to be built with funds; bor- : rowed from the government. To do j this however, Company B would ] have to pay a yearly rental of ; around $1200 for the proposed ar- i mory. Money for rent is provided j at present by a donation of $400 i from the councy and $200 from the Town of Warrenton. Only four j hundred dollars of the joint $600 , contribution of town and county goes for rent. Faced with the problem of increasing the rent donations to $1200 annually both , boards stated that present budgets . forbade increase in donations for j the present fiscal year. , Commissioners Powell and Wall of i the county board raised the point whe.her the county commissioners had a legal right to make a donation for a longer period than they | were elected to office. This query received some informal attention 1 but no action as the members had decided that they could make no i increased donation under the present budget. ( Before adjourning the Town Board voted to hold its regular September meeting on September 8 instead of on the first Monday night because several of the members of the board are expected to i be out of town on account of the i Labor Day holiday. ] Racial Ratio For Warren County The Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act provides that funds be made available to eligible tenant families of all races to purchase family-sized ] farms, and there should be no dis crimination based on nationality, ] race, creed, or political affiliations, ( T. F. Stallings, County RR Super- , visor, said this week. The racial ratio for Warren i County is as follows: 1820 tenants. 1 552 white tenants, 30.4 per cent of 1 all tenants. 1268 negro tenants, ] 69.6 per cent of all tenants.

A J r ion Price, $1.50 a Year Board Sets Oct As Bond ] Misunderstanding About Temporary Cards, Says Agent By BOB BRIGHT County Agent 1 There seems to be some misun- ( JJw/. nK/Mtf tV?/\ rV\??0 icxataxxuxxxg auuuu uxxo j obacco marketing cards that we are ssuing. The cards that we are isuing at this time are no; the final illotments. For those producers hat have been producing tobacco ?n the farms they now occupy we ire authorized to issue 400 lbs. per icre for the alloted acres or plantid acres which ever is the smaller. ?or those producers that receive 'C" allotments we may issue 300 , bs. per acre for the allotted acres )r planted acres. The amount sold )n these cards will be deducted , ;rom the final allotted poundsWe hope to have the final mar- . ieting cards before the markets in , iiis section open. The state office aas tried to issue final cards to , those producers in the vicinity of the open markets as the markets open. A few farmers have exceeded their ( allotted acreage in cotton and to- , bacco. We are notifying these farmers as fast as we can and I would appreciate it very much if they mould come in and talk the matter over with the county committeemen or some one in the office qualified to advise with them. In the case of cotton a producer may sell all of the coiton tax free that he produces on the allotted acres, but if he has exceeded the allotted acres he will be required to pay a tax provided he produces in excess af his normal yield times his allotted acres. I sincerely hope that we will not have any producers in this eounty to pay the tax on cotton in 1938. When you receive your notice that you have exceeded your acreage please come in at once and let's try to adjust the matter. Bowers And Men Leave For Matches Major Claude Bowers and three members of Company B departed an Saturday for Camp Perry, Ohio, to participate in the national rifle matches which are to be held there from August 21 to September 10. Major Bowers is captain of the North Carolina Rifle Team which is composed of ten of the best shots in the state militia. The three men who are representing Company B are Clarence E. Ridout, John E. Floyd and Douglas Mustian. Two former members of Company B also made the ten-man state team. They are Jack Riggan, now a member of Company A, Burlington, and Charles Peoples, a member of Co. C, Henderson. Last year Mr. Ridout won his 'first leg" towards the distinguished markmanship medal in the individual contest at the national matches. Onsets Oricrin Of Court Square Bell Where did the bell o nthe court house square come from? Ed Petar ivould like to know. He stated that he has asked a number of citizens this question and 50 far he has been unable to get a satisfactory answer. Mr. Petar said that the bell, which in days of yore was used to summons citizens to a fire and Is now used to announce the opening Df court or a land sale, has a peculiar tone and is constructed difWhere did the bell on the court used to announce the dinner hour on farms. Persons who can throw some light, on this question are requested to notify Mr. Petar or this newspaper. Norman Newell Is Brought Home Norman Newell, deputy clerk of Warren county Superior court, who suffered a stroke of paralysis on Satuday afternoon, August 13, was returned this week from Memorial Hospital in Richmond where he went for observation and treatment and is now resting at the home of his mother, Mrs. John D.

Election Date Citizens to Determine Fate Of Court House And School Projects By Their Vote SO ARMORY, FISH POND Two of the four federal projects vhich are being advocated by in.erested civizens for Warren county ii conjunction wnn uie guverunent's gigantic spending program vill be submitted to voters for approval or rejection in a bond elecion which has been set for October 11, but the other two projects, ?qually as well endorsed, will not be ncluded on the ballot due to the :act the Attorney General has rui;d that the county has 110 authorty 'to vote bonds for their construction. 1 The two projects which are to be I'oted on are remodeling the court house and additions and improvements to the schools of the county. The two projects which will be left pff the ballot as a result of the Attorney General's ruling are the armory and fish pond. Replying to a letter which had been written him by County Attorney Julius Banzet, the Attorney General at first ruled that all four of the projects could be submitted for a vote, but later he advised Mr. Banzet that he had been mistaken in his ruling and that only the court house and school projects could be offered for a vote. Towns and cities, he said, may issue bonds for the construction of an armory or a recreational center but the statute does not give the county this authority. Provided the armory and fish pond projects can be shown to be self-liquidating, the county would have the authority to construct tnem witnout a vo.e of the peopleAdvocates of these two projects contend that they can be made self-liquidating. Holding the same view as the Attorney General, the New York bond attorneys which the Board of County Commissioners had employed to draw up the necessary papers for an election which would make the bonds valid advised the commissioners this week that in their opinion the county was without authority to submit the armory and fish pond questions for a bond vote. This is the same view that the county attorney took when the question was brought before the commissioners at several of their recent meetings. The difference between issuing bonds for erection or work on school houses and court houses is that these two projects are regarded as necessary expenditures while the armory and fish pond projects are not. Plans for the proposed armory have already been drawn and the site for the fish pond has been surveyed. Yes.erday advocates of the armory met with the commissioners in an effort to have the town and county nnance tnis projects witnout a bond issue, and it is expected that some of those interested in the proposed fish pond will appear before the board the first Monday with the view of showing how this project may be made self-liquidating In the meantime plans are going forward for holding the election to dtermine whether bonds shall be issued for improvement of the court house and enlargement of schools to take carre of over-crowded conditions. AH Vancancies In Local Faculty Filled The last vacancy in the faculty of the John Graham High School was filled the latter part of last week when the school board select ed Miss Merwyn Gathright of Goochland Courthouse, Va., to teach the fourth grade as a successor to Miss Maywood Modlin who was recently married. The election of Miss Gathright jj jj gives the local school seven new teachers for the 1938-39 term which begins on the morning of September 7 The others are: Miss Billy Newell of Franklinton, Mrs. William Davis of Warrenton, Mrs. ? Alice Patterson Geddie of Airlie, Miss Biddie Miller of Laurel Springs, Miss Marion Craig cf Wadesboro, and Miss Lorraine Bowden of Mocksville. Mr. Julius Banzet was a visitor at Vinston-Salem this week. f ' ' i
