Underprivileged and unfortunate boys from throughout the state are taken to the home, located ner Lake Waccamaw in Western N.

The home is nonprofit and non-sectarian corporation operated year-round for the neglected and products of broken homes, Mr. McCray said. The home is licensed by the state of North. Carolina and was chartered in 1954. Boys do not go to the home for any definite length of time, but may stay until they complete high school, enter service, or secure employment.

E. Watson. ASC office mans. 1 ger, said this week. The 1474 pounds average for 1960 compares with 1402 pounds in 1958 and 1350 pounds in 1959. These county averages compare with a state average of 1742 pounds in 1958 and 1544 pounds In 1959. Watson said that state averages for 1960 are not yet available. The higher per acre yield in 1960 was reflected in an increased poundage grown in the county last year. Warren County farmers in 1960 produced a total of 8,698,642 pounds of tobacco, compared with 7,190,378 pounds in 1958 and 7,960,632 pounds in 1959. These figures were revealed in computation of tobacco production and yields for 1960, released this week by the ASC office. The computation shows acreage and yield by townships as well as the total production and yield for the county. Hawtree township, according to these figures, is the largest tobacco producing township in the county with a total of 1,454,650 pounds. The per acre yield in this township was 1728 pounds, the highest yield in the county. While state averages are not available for 1960, the figures released by the local ASC office for 1958 and 1959, show a big loss to Warren County as a result of failure to meet the state average in those years. In 1958, Warren's average was 1402 pounds per acre while the state average wis 1742 pounds. This means that Warren in 1958 fell short of the state average by 340 pounds. Multiplied by the 5,128.66 acres harvested in Warren County in 1958, the loss in poundage was 1,742,744.44, or approximately a million dollars in cash yieldHeavy rains in the east in 1950 reduced the state average to 1544 pounds, 294 pounds above Warren's average of 1350 pounds on the 5JH&34 acres harvested. This means a reduction in 1959 from the state average of 1,734,111.88 pounds, and again a loss of approximately a million dollars in revenue. Rep. Kerr On House Committees Representative John Kerr, Jr., of Warren County has been placed by Speaker Joe Hunt to serve on the following committees: Chairman of the committee on rules; vice-chairman of the committee on congressional districts; committee on public utilities; committee on public welfare; joint committee on trustees of the University; committee on water taooiueeo and control; committee on appropriation; committee on bank* and banking; committee en constitutional amendments; and committee on courts and ju- j dicial districts.
