Roanoke R
Plan Is Sp
Final Decii
WASHINGTON ? A proposed
power project on the
Roanoke River near the Vir
ginla-North Carolina border
Tuesday was speeded toward
a final decision by the Federal
Power Commission.
p Attorneys| announced agreeures
by the Virginia Electric
& Power Co. in the construction
and operation of its proposed
50 million dollar dam
with a 200,000 kilowatt capicity.
Industrial and fishing interests
downstream had expressed
concern about the quality and
quantity of water which would
be released by the proposed
VEPCO plant near Roanoke
Rapids, N. C.
At a final hearing Tuesday
before Alvin A. Kurtz Feb. 1
was set as the date for a proposed
order by commission
counsel, and Feb. 15 for replies
by interested parties.
VEPCO has proposed completion
of the project in four
years.
Richard T. Sanders of the
North Carolina attorney general's
staff told the examiner

reached. After the hearing, he

By Peeler 1
Three separate construction
proposals, designed to meet
the needs of several Warren
County schools, were outlined
here on Monday night by Warren
School Superintendent J.
Roger Peeler.
Peeler, pointing out the
pressing needs for additional
construction for the 1960-61
fiscal year to members of the
county board of education, called
for the expenditure of at
least $79,000 in county funds
at an early dale.
In a five-point proposal handed
the board, Peeler recommended
that $129,000 be spent
as soon as possible to alleviate
crowded and undesirable condiW
tions at several of the county's
smaller schools.
In this proposal, Peeler expressed
the need of borrowing
some aou.uuu irom cne siaie s
Literary Fund to go along with
approximately 79,000 which will
be available for building purposes.
Whether or not any of
Peeler's proposals will be given
a positive nod will not be
decided until at least January
11, the next meeting of the
board of education.
One proposal drawn up by
the county superintendent included
expenditures at the
North Warren agriculture shop
and at the Hawkins agriculture
shop; at the Hawkins trades
shop and the Hawkins home
economics building; at Hawkins
for central heat for the high
school building; at John
Graham for renovation and
central heat at home economics
and agriculture buildings;

Hit And Run?
A doe deer and an automobile
collided on busy Highway
401 three miles south of here
early Wednesday night.
The results were somewhat
unusual.
Approximately $150 damage
was done to the automobile
and the deer disappeared.
Gene Thompson, 19-year-old
Warren County youth, told
Highway Patrolman V. R.
Vaughan that two deers darted
in front of his car while he
was enroute to Warrenton.
One of the deer got clear, but
Thompson's auto smacked the
other animal.
He said that the deer was
badly mangled and apparently
killed instantly. Thompson left
the deer lying beside his car
and contacted local authorities.
But when police arrived five
minutes later, the deer was
gone.
Hours later a blood trail
was discovered which led into
nearby woods, but officers were
stumped when., the trail played
out in thick underbrush.
They surmised that the injured
deer had either stumbled
from the road into the woods
and escaped discovery, or that
a passing motorist had hidden
the deer and later returned
for a portion of venison/

they voted some 97.3 in favor
of the measures.
Peanut producers, though
small in number, voted 100

The state-wide voting
showed a favorable vote of
98.2 for the peanut quotas.
County-wide tabulations showed
that 520 growers voted in
favor of cotton quotas. The
vote against cotton quotas

lation will increase from

crease of 97.7 per cent.
The projections are based on 9
the assumption that no major
wars, epidemics and other ca-^^|
j tasprohes will take place; that 9
there will be continued high~9

atively high birth and migra- H

The report alsc breaks down I
the population trends of the
next two ten-year periods into
both regional and marketing
areas.
The Raleigh marketing area,
according to the commission's 9
report, is composed of Wake, I
Marnett. Johnston, Franklin and
Warren.
Excluding any of the other I

Wake and Harnett will make
