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 the agreements had been reached. After the hearing, he said North Carolina took the Building N 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; t at Norlina for covered walkf way from main building to Decorations To Be | I Judged Here By Out-ofTown Judges Out-of-town judges will insoect Christinas decorations on Tuesday night to determine who will be the winners of this season's annual Lions Christmas Decorations Contest.

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/ I kTravTn ? ? 1 I NEWS UN BRIEF Christmas Program The annual Christmas program will be held at Jerusalem Methodist Church on Sunday, December 20, at 7:00 p. m.

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 surrounding counties this breakdown shows the "greater" Raleigh area with a total popu- 9 lation by 1980 of 471,500.
