Here Next Week
The 1959-60 fund raising
campaign for the Bright Leaf
Girl Scout Council of North
Carolina, Inc., of which Warren
County is a part, will be
held from November 1 through
November 7, Leonard S. Daniel,
finance chairman for Warren
County, announced yesterday.
> Warren County is one of six
counties within the Bright
Leaf Council that ir, participating
in the yearly drive for
operating funds for the 19591
60 year. The other counties
are Granville, Orange. Person,
Vance and Durham.
Daniel said that the quota
for Warren County is $1400.!
He said that last year Warren 1
County did not contribute any!
funds to the Council, but in j
1957 and 1958 Warren County
citizens gave more than $600. j
Assisting Chairman Daniel:
in the drive will he: W. A.
Delbridge of Norlina, A. L.
Nicholson of Macon, Mrs. Albert
Perkinson of Wise; and
five Slih-ohnirnrten at Wnrron.
ton, Mrs. Tom Hawkins, Mrs.
A. D. Johnson, Mrs. Alice
Jones, Mrs. Ellen S. Moseley,
and H .M. Hardy.
Daniel said that this drive
is not connected with the
Camp Graham Development
^ Drive which was conducted in
the county last year. This is
a drive for the operating budget
for the Council and this
money must be raised to carry
^ on the work of Girl Scouters
in Warren County. "So when
someone knocks on your door
requesting a donation to the
Girl Scouts, please give generously."
All of the money collected
in Warren County will go into
the treasurer of the Council to
operate the troops in all the
six counties, but Warren County
will have more thin $1400
spent within' its area for the
coming year, Daniel said.
Pointing out there there are
five troops in Warren County
now, Daniel said that these
troops can not be operated
without some support from the
adults of the county. He said
that the only other way the
Girl Scouts have for raising
funds is their Cookie Sale each
year and this does not cover
the cost of maintaining the
1' troops within Warren County.
"Wishing does not always
make it so," the chairman con,
tinued. "Hundreds of youngsters
on Girl Scouts waiting
lists have found that out. But
if you wish, your contribution
can change waiting lists into
Girl Scouts to help others.
They count on you to help
them. So give generously to
help the waiting lists of girls
wanting to become Girl Scouts
in Warren County disappear"!
Mrs. R. B. Butler is third
vice president of the A^ea
Council. Mrs. A. D. Johnson
is neighborhhod chairman for
Warrenton; Mrs. A. J. Bobbitt
is neighborhhod chairman for
Norlina; and Mrs. Duke Miles

Warren County voters turned
out ,in small numbers Tues- f
day to give their endorsement 0
to only two of nine items in a s
proposed $34,000,000 state bond t
issue. r
While a tiny fraction of
North Carolina's registered a
j voters turned out to vote their j
(approval of the nine issues, e
Warren citizens returned a fav- r
| orable verdict for only two
items?the state mental insti- 0
| tutions improvement issue and
the state blind rehabilitation r
improvement issue.
Throughout th* state one of ^
the lighest turnouts in years s
stamped decisive approval on .
most of the bond referendum
authorized by the legislature and
the Hodges administration.
Prior to the election, voter
interest remained low in spite 5
of pleas by institution and
agency offichls. The vote
against many of the issues was "
surprising in Warren Comity in
the face of assurances by Gov- t
ernor Hodges and State Treas- urer
Edwin Gill that new or
increased taxes would not be t
required to finance debt ser- vice

The October Civil Term of
Warren County Superior Court
was scheduled to end here
late yesterday afternoon
(Thursday).
The term, which was convened
on Monday with Judge
Hamilton Hobgood of Lruisburg,
presiding, has had little
or no interest throughout the
county and many of the proceedings
were transacted before~an
empty gallery.
One case remained on the

Following Tobacco
SBI Agent,
Arrest Four
The State Bureau of Investigation
teamed up with the
Warren County Sheriff's Department
over the weekend in
a cooperative investigation that
brought charges against four
Warren County men.
Members of the sheriff's department,
assisted by SBI
Agent Linwood Harton of Henderson,
filed charges Sunday
against four Negro men arrested
for allegedly stealing nearly
| 1000 pounds of tobacco from
several county farms.
Arrested after the two law
enforcement bodies had uncoved
information during the
weekend were Sandy Alston,
45; Robert Hamm, 21; Thomas
Hargrove, 51; and Asa Hendricks,
about 33.
The arrests followed a rash
of tobacco thefts from farms
throughout the county. Two
thefts at the farm of Alex and
Charles Katzenstein, another
theft at a farm owned by Tom
Burton, and an additional theft
at a farm owned by the V. F.
Ward estate, prompted action
by the local sheriff's department.
Sheriff's deputies noticed a
tire track at the Burton farm
which fitted the track found at
the Katzenstein farm later. Officers,
after questionsing neighbors
of the two farm families,
learned that Hargrove had
KAAn tu- i-uu?1 a
wvvii otun in iuc uciguuurnuuu
before the thefts.
Officers went to Hargrove's
home and after extensive questioning,
Hargrove admitted taking
an amount of tobacco.
From their interrogation, officers
learned who had taken
part in the thefts and arrested
the other persons.
Following a hearing before
Magistrate J. C. Moore in Warrenton
on Tuesday, three of
the men were lodged in the
Warren County jail here.
| Alston, charged with aiding
and abetting in the disposal
of stolen property, was placed
under a $250 bond; Hamm's
bond was set at $1,000 on
charges of breaking, entering,
larceny, and forgery; Hargrove
and Hendricks, both charged
with breaking, entering and
larceny, were placed under
$500 bonds each.
