the identity of a man at one o:

woods before an arrest could b:
made.
Although the officers state thai
they know the man who was manufacturing
whiskey in Nutbusl
township and later had his fathei
identify his hat which he ran oul
from under in his hasty getaway
they are withholding his name until
he can be found and taken ir
custody.
The fugitive, they said, approached
the scene of the still in his automobile
and at that time he coulc
have been seized but the officer:

\ The Light 9f Men's Minds
r By WILLIAM T. POLK
The Hon. Winston Churchill, in his radio speech to
America a few nights ago, said a terrible thing. "All
. over Europe," he said, "the lights are going out." He
meant the lights in men's minds, which are being crushed
,r out by the totalitarian states.
y This country owes to civilization the duty of keeping
those lights trimmed and burning over here. As long as
_ a good free public library is kept open in each community,
. those lights will stay lights.
"Wisdom," we have it on high authority, "is justified
f of all her children." And she has a family, though of late
11 years it does seem that she has been using a tremendous
' amount of birth control. The child of Wisdom and Righte
eousness is Justice, whose body is the law, corpus juris.
if The child of Wisdom and Beauty is Art. The great kindergarten
of the world where the children of men may
, consort with the children of Wisdom is the public library.
Bernard Shaw once said that the longer he lived the
I more he was convinced that the other planets use this
j Earth as a kind of lunatic asylum. The world has forgote
ten that the State, like the Sabbath, was made for man.
_ Now man is being made for the totalitarian states.
Before a German scientist can safely discover truth,
he had better be sure that it is an Aryan brand of truth;
d before an Italian judge administers justice, he must be
e certain that it is a Fascist species of justice; before a
- Russian can create a work of art, he had better make sure
s that the Commissar of Art will not raise the question
t whether it is sabotage. Thus man's noblest search is
8 stultified at its source.

There is only one way to discover truth, administer justice,
create art. It is not the way of the corporation or the

TOWN PROJECT ;
Telegram From Washington
Says Government Okehs
$12,670 Allotment
FOR WORK ON STREETS
A telegram to The Warren Rec
ord from Congressman John H.
Kerr's office in Washington yesterday
afternoon announced that the
Works Progress Administration had
approved a project carrying a federal
allotment of $12,670 for improving
the streets of Warrenton.
The money is to supplement funds
left in the town treasury from the
bond issue which was passed several
months ago to carry on curb
and gutter work and will be used
for widening, grading and draining
streets and laying down new sidewalks
in the town.
The approval of this supplementary
project means that the apDroximatelv
65 men who have been
given employment here for the past
several months laying curb and gutter
and hardsurfacing parts of the
streets will remain on the job and
that the town will receive the benefit
of needed work which should
improve the appearance of Warrenton
and at the same time make
walking and riding more pleasant
within the city limits.
While no particular parts of the
town have been definitely selected
for laying sidewalks, it is believed
that the commissioners will agree
on placing a concrete walk from
Main street down to Warren County
Memorial Library along the edge
of court square and build a sidewalk
on the street from the home
of R. T. Watson down by the residence
of Mrs N. M. Palmer as a
part of the work to be carried on
under the new project.
Since the town started curb and
gutter work several months ago after
a $6000 bond issue had been approved
by voters to raise the necessary
money to supplement federal
funds donated in connection with
the project, around 6,500 feet of
curb and gutter work has been done
here. In addition, approximately
3,000 yards of surface work has
been completed. The surface work
consists of widening streets and
filling in between roadbed and the
mif for
The town decided several weeks
ago to apply for a supplementary
project for improving the streets
of Warrenton after it had been
learned that the town, by practicing
economy and using some of its
own equipment rather than purchase
new, had not spent all the
money raised through the bond issue
for curb and gutter work.
The news brought here yesterday
in the wire from the office of Judge
Kerr, who used his influence to
have the project approved, was wel
corned by town omciais ana orougnt
forth a cheer from one of the WPA
laborers when he learned that his
job would most likely continue for
several more months.
With The Sick
Howard F. Jones Sr. continues to
linger in a serious condition at his
home here, there being no apparent
change in his general condition
since he became seriously 111 nearly
a month ago, although some of
his days are better than others.
Mrs. W. A Burwell is improving
and was able to sit on her front
porch this week after being bedridden
for more than three weeks.
Likewise, Mr. Prank Newell is
improving and is up and about:
however, he remains very weak.
Mr. Walter Fleming, who has
been confined to his home with a
cold, or a mild case of influenza,
returned to his work this week.
