Board Fa
Removal
Plans for gradually removing !
4-H clubs from county schools
and reorganizing them into
community clubs were endorsed
by the board of county com- ;
missioners Monday.
Endorsement of the move
came after County Agent Frank
Reams, Assistant Agent L. B.
Hardage, Home Agent Miss
Emily Ballinger, and Miss Ann
Rackley, assistant home agent,
appeared before the commissions
to explain the plan of
the extension department for ,
a change in operation of 4-H ,
clubs. Hardage acted as
spokesman for the group.
Hardage estimated that the
transition win lane approximately
two years.
The change-over in Warren
County is part of a statewide '
Extension Service plan to reorganize
North Carolina's 4-II
program around community 4-H
clubs under the direction of
local volunteer leaders.
"This change should
strengthen club work and provide
a wonderful opportunity
[for the adult leadership in the
4-H program," Hardage said.
'The shift to community 4-H
clubs will in no way affect the
major objectives, program contents
and special activities of
14-H." 1
j Hardage said that there are
some 500 white 4-H club
members in the nine while
clubs of the county.
HroiniTatlnn of 4.IT olnha In

reckless driving. Vaughan said
that the automobile travelled
526 feet down a ditch bank,
along an embankment before
hitting a driveway, sailing 76
feet through the air, and landing
only to travel 92 more
feet through a wooded area.
Pir.c trees which fell on and

Would you take a job if a
new industrial plant is located
in the Warrenton-Norlina-Littleton
area?
This is the question soon to
be answered by hundreds of
area residents who would be
available for employment if an
industry showed interest in locating
in this area.
Just how many persons in
the three-town area are potential
industrial workers will be
determined as soon as survey I
forms, currently being prepar- I
ed by the Bute Development I
Company and the N. C. Em- |
ployment Security Commission, ^
are ready for distribution.
Target date for the distribu- ^
! tion of 20,000 questionnaire
! forms is April 10, Selby G.
Benton, president of the Bute
, Development Company, said
yesterday. The survey will be I
concluded two weeks later and I
forms will be tabulated by the I
Employment Security Commission.
"The results of this survey
will in all probability weigh ^
heavily in any industry's decis- a
ion to locate in this area," s
Benton said. Scorqs of counties
in Jthe state have already d
conducted labor surveys and y
statistical data compiled from ^
these surveys are passed on to t
various industrial firms.
Not only is the type of in- j
formation gained from a labor n
survey essential for a success- y
ful program of attracting new y
industries, but it serves to n
answer questions local indus ^
tries might have concerning
expansion.
From the compiled data an |
industrial prospect will be able B
to determine the number of n
persons available for work; ^
how many fall into each age t,
group; the number of males
and females; available degrees
of education; and other pertinent
information.
All answers given by indi- u
viduals will be strictly confi- h
dential, Benton said. He urg- n
ed every available worker? n
man, woman or high school a
senior?to fill out a question- c
naire. Deadline for returning t
the forms will be April 22. t
