I ACCURATE, TERSE 9 TIMELY sxxvni IsTUK sirvevs I FISH POND SITE giue-I'rint of 400-Acre Pro jed To He Sent To Game I Warden E. H. Pinneli 1 poi HT OF OBTAINING IT The area of land on Fishing Creek ,juCh has been recommended as I ,n ideal spot for a fish pond to be M cohs.ructed primarily with federal .-mids has been surveyed by an enHpneei' of the Department of Con serration and Development, and I Game and Forest Warden E. Hun ;fr pinneli is expecting to receive biue-priius of the proposed project aI any time now- . According to reports of the en-| Hjmeer. the flow of water and the] topography of the land along the I proposed site is such that a daml Matting $25,000, which it has beenI galea that the government would] jjuiici provided the county donated | I ;he laud, would make it possible to | I tare a rish pond which would easily j I cover four hundred acres. I Although the project has been] recommended by a number of War-] Been county citizens and is looked] I upon favorably by the State De-j partment of Conservation and De-j velopment, there is considerable] aoubt whether this county will ever] Mjet the pond. I When the project was first ad-| Ivocated for this county and carried] ^ aefore the Board of County Com-j nushoners for their approval the commissioners told John Kilian to contact the land owners, work up the project, and intimated that they would purchase the land which aas not donated provided it could be bought for around $1,500 or $2, jOO. Later, upon recommendation of a number of interested citizens, the commissioners agreed to include this project on the ballot with other i ..???/) nrvnn hllf. last projects iu jjc vuwcu ~vw ?? week the Attorney General ruled lut neither this project nor the armory project could be placed on Ithe ballot with the school poject land the court house project. I In tire event it can be shown how I the fish pond could be made a self-liquidating project, it would not be necessary for a vote on this nuestion for the county to buy the .and, which has been estimated to tost between two and three thousland dollars, the Attorney General neld. It is expected that some of those advocating the fish pond will appear before the commissioners nest Monday to argue that the proIject may be made self-liquidating.

WAJ Farmers To Seek J Cause of Tobacco j "Slump" At Meet' Seeking to determine the cause of the current "slump" in tobacco prices and to consider possible means of boosting averages, the North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation Wednesday night called mass meetings in eight tobacco growing counties. Warren is one of the eight counties in which farmers are to gather to discuss the tobacco situation. The meeting will be held in the courthouse at Warrenton on Saturday afternoon of this week at 2:30 o'clock?the same time of the meetings in the other seven counties. Ed Turner will be in charge of the Warren county meeting. Farm Bureau members and other agricultural leaders will direct discussions on the cause of low prices and seek a remedy. Secretary E. F. Arnold of the State Bureau said an effort would be made to dis credit current propaganda that the crop control program is responsible and to gain farmers' assurance that the control program will be continued beyond this year to insure a "parity" price. The mass meetings were called following a meeting in Wilson Wednesday of the Bureau's state executive committee, headed by President J. E. Winslow of Greenville. "We find that prices have slumped from two to five cents a pound since the Border Belt opened, and the trend is downward," Secretary Arnold said after the meeting. "We had no indication that the trend would continue downward, but we hope to bring it upward." Jury Declares Clark Not Guilty On Booze Charge Judge T. O. Rodwell again held a long session of Recorder's court this week, laying aside his gavel at 6:30 o'clock in the afternoon after disposing of more than half a dozen cases, several of which were tried before juries. Commanding major interest on the heavy docket was the indictment against Exom Clark, who had a charge of manufacturing whiskkey written opposite his name as a result of a raid made on his place near Warrenton several weeks ago; when a pit was found near his home containing paraphernalia used in making moonshine whiskey. His claim that he was not aware of the pit and the equipment therein was accepted by a jury and he was found not guiltyClark and Reuben E. James were the only white men tried this week. Judgment was suspended upon payment of costs in the case against James who pled guilty to a charge of speeding with a truck and trailerIvey Allgood, Esther Allgood and """" 1 11 3 ?~ ? *\lno r\f Willie Allgouu enieitu a guilty to a charge of larceny. Each of them was given a 60-day sentence which was suspended upon payment of costs and remaining of good behavior. Plummer Parrish and Robert Booth noted an appeal to Superior court after they had been convicted by a jury on a charge of larceny and sentenced to the road for 90 days. Bond was set at $200. James Young and Albert Middleton were brought, into the temple of justice to face a charge of manufacturing whiskey for the purpose of sale.

Edison and others, it was indicated this week when Russell Cook, field represent- i ative of the Rural Electrification Administration, Washington, D. C? 1 appeared here and stated that the government is willing to string lines 100 miles long anywhere in the county provided as many as three i customers could be secured per mile. Mr- Cook's visit to Warren couuty is expected to result in the people living in the Afton-Elberon section, Sandy Creek township, and that proximity, receiving current earlier than would have probably been the i case had he not appeared here. A survey of this section was made and approved, it was stated, by the Carolina Power & Light Co. approximately two years ago, but 40 Men Rapidly I Laying Curb And Guttering Here With around 40 men on the job daily, the work of laying curb and gutter along the streets of Warrenton is progressing rapidly under the WPA project which was made possible for this town by citizens here rpppnt.lv votiner bonds in the sum of $6,000 for this purpose. The men are at present rushing to completion curb and gutter work on the street east of Center and Tarwater warehouses and unless something unforseen happens this job will be completed by the time the tobacco market opens here on September 13. The same street, which runs east of Boyd's warehouse, has already been done, as well as a number of other streets of the townHarold R. Skillman, who is supervising the work, stated this week that approximately 60 men were signed up under WPA for this work, ! but in order to give more men jobs j and to work five or six days a week i rather than four, only about 40 [ men were working on the job at a time. | Pointing out that the town had only spent $1,700 of the $6,000 vot! ed as Warrenton's part of the federal project, Mr. Skillman expressed the opinion that the town would most likely get the benefit of considerable more curb and gutter work than was anticipated when the bonds were voted. However, he added, surface work along the I efraotc whpfp curb and eutter work I OWVVVU ? ? ? ? w J has gone forward has not yet been done, and this will probably cut a large slice out of the funds raised for improving the streets.
