V VOLUME 65 Commmittee , Before Board On Lake Planning I ers on Monday requested the 1 county's representatives in the General Assembly, which met J on Wednesday, to have Warren County included among North Carolina counties which may legally work under a county-wide planning board. * When county planning legis- . >'lation was adopted during the last session of the Legislature Warren County was omitted 1 from its provisions. The com- 1 missioners on Monday after- ' , noon asked that Rep. John ' * Kerr and Senator Frank Ban- 1 zet have repealed those sec- 1 tions of the law removing War- ^ ren County from the operations of the state-wide law. 1 Purpose of the repeal is that < Warren County may operate under the county planning law . in the promoting the orderly ' development of the Gaston j reservoir, much of which will be in Warren County. i Action of the board came after the recently organized ' Warren County committee for ' the development of the Gaston reservoir appeared oerore tnat body. The Warren County com- ! mittee is part of a tri-county 1 committee composed of War- * ren, Halifax and Northampton 1 Counties. Marvin Newsom of Littleton headed the delega- 1 tion and acted as spokesman j for the Warren County com- j mittee. Other members present were Howard Jones, secrtary, 1 Freddie Hicks and Frank Reams. ; Present plans of the tri-county committee is to have the 1 reservoir zoned under the direction of the State Department of Conservation and Develop- ' ment. The cost of Warren's ' share would be $8,700, but the j Federal government would pay 45% of this cost, t Newsom said that Warren County's share would be larger than that of Halifax and North- 1 ampton Counties as the cost is based on miles of short line of the lake. Of the North Caroiina part of the Lake, Newsome said, 23% of the shore line would be in Northampton, 19% in Halifax, and 58% per cent in Warren County. This Gaston reservoir could be "the biggest thing that ever | happened to Warren Cojinty" (See LAKE, page 2^ Board Donates Funds For Planting On Court Square The Board of Commissioners 1 on Monday donated $200.00 to ! the Warrenton Woman's Club to be used toward the beauti- , fication of the court house grounds.

Warren Man Is Nabbed At Vance Whiskey Still HENDERSON ? A Warren County Negro man was taken into custody by Vance and reaerai law eniorcement onicers after a slippery chase during a liquor still raid northeast of Henderson Monday afternoon. .

Martin was awaided a contract for repairing the heat, ing system of the Warren County Health Department by the county commissioners on Monday. His bid was $239.33. I Martin, who had been asked by the commissioners at their January meeting to make a study of the heating problem at the Health Center and report his recommendations at the February meeting. Monday, Martin told the commissioners that he had called in his company's consultant engineer who made a thorough survey of the building and its heating problem, principal ,one of which is to get enough heat in the back rooms of the building. He dismissed as impractical plans to run ducts under the floor. Among the changes recommended was a change in grills, the installation of a larger blower fan, and or to speed up the present fan to force more air through the ducts to balance the system, and to provide more ventilation in the furnace room. M a r ti n submitted several Board Told 58 Curves Mrs. M. W. Alston of Inez told Warren County Commissioners on Monday that curves on Highway 58 as it approaches Shocco Creek are unnecessary and a decided traffic hazard. She asked the commissioners to use their influence to have this hazardous and unnecessary condition remedied. The commissioners agreed with Mrs. Alston that the condition is bad, but had no tangible remedy in sight They suggested that she contact the Inez Community Club with an idea of having the club adopt a plan to have the Highway Commission correct this condition as a community project Mrs. Alston said she had already contacted Roger Dowtin, district engineer, but had received little encouragement from him. She safcd that so far that her efforts had been on an individual basis, and that she was going to keep at it until something was accomplished.

I Peeler said that some $500,000 is needed for the consoli-> < dation and modernization of i Negro schools of the county. < Warren County's share of a ' $50,000,000 state bond issue i several years ago enabled the county to build several new consolidated Negro schools and 1 to consolidate a number of the ! small Negro schools. A half ' Awarded 'or Repair plans, including a heat pump, and a new furnace. Due to the cost of the heat pump, he recommended the installation of a new furnace, with changes in the grills. The cost of such installation would be $987.00, he said. The advantage of the heat pump would be that it also would air condition the building, but the operation cost would be greater, Martin said. He added that an air condition system could be added to the proposed furnace but that it would cost approximately $2400. Martin told the commissioners that speeding up the preSOTlf fan chanuinir *K?? MiriatAM and balancing the system might well solve their problem. He said that this would have to be done even if the new furnace were to be installed. The additional cost, he said, would only be about $20 more if later the new furnace was installed. The commissioners accepted the plan. calling for the smallest outlay and awarded the (See MARTIN, page 2) I Hifirhwav w i Hazardous . The Rev.

Harton, relative to having the road leading to Zion Church from the Norlina-Oine road improved. Mr. Andrews said that the church was used not only on Sunday but for church group meetings during the week, and the road often ; was in bad condition. Mr. Andrews at first requested that this road be hards urfaced, but when told that it was extremely doubtful that the commission would bsrdsurface i the road, but that the county might stabilize it by putting gravel on it, agreed that this would be a big help.

A pav as you go plan is too slow to meet the pressing needs. Peeler told the commissioners, and the cost of the entire project would be difficult for the county to meet. For this reason, he said, the Board of Education has endorsed a state bond issue for school construction. He said that under a $50,000,000 bond issue, it is anticipated that Warren County would receive approximately a half million dollars. Peeler told the commissioners that the reason for his appearance before the board was to request the commissioners to ask. Rep. John Kerr and Senator Frank Banzet to support such a measure in the Legislature. He said that Warren County is represented by very influential men in the State legislature and that their support for the measure would be very valuable. The commissioners reported the request to Kerr and Banzet later in the day but with out recommendation. Neither Rep. Kerr or Senator Banzet committed themselves to a state bond issue, but said they would dicsuss the matter further with the commissioners at their March meeting. Boyce Is Chairman In Campaign For Episcopal Home J. B.

J The campaign is being con- - J ducted separately in each Episcopal church under the general chairmanship of Norman A. Cooke of Charlotte. The home, designed to accomodate a minimum of 40 residents, will be built in -v^j Southern Pines, on a wooded 13-acre mid-town tract given the Diocese by Mrs. James T. Boyd of Southern Pines.
