The question was raised when Auditor A .P. Kodwell, Jr., told the commissioners that the court house fund had enough money in it to pay the cost of the construction, but added, "if it has the right to do it." This reply sent the County Attorney searching through his law books, but at the time of adjournment he had been unable to find any reference to *1.? ...s: Ti. : J L/> uie quwuuii. ne saiu lie would continue his search and notify the commissioners at ... j their April 4 meeting. The matter of the construction of the sidewalk was brought to the attention of the commissioners by Mrs. G. D. Horne and Miss Anne Burwell, representatives of the Warrenton Garden Club which is enV gaged in a project to beautify the court house lawn. Mrs. Horne, who acted as spokesman, told the board members that the parking space for the hnnlrmnhile S&H heen removed and that the town had provided free parking space for the vehicle on Market Street. She said that this space was being seeded to grass and a sidewalk along the west side of the court lawn would protect the grass and add to the beauty of the square. She said that the town had agreed to pay for the labor and supervise the laying of the walk. Mrs. Home also expressed the thanks of the Garden Club to Commissioner A. J. Ellington for the donation of several loads of topsoil and to the t? commissioners for their cooperation. The commissioners in turn expressed their appreciation to the ladies for their work in beautifying the court house square. i* c?r\ ?*aoo 1VVU V Ji V/CJCJ Campaign Underway Volunteer workers in the annual Red Cross fund-raising drive currently being conducted in Warren County are reporting a good response from donors.

PO Lobby j Open Later j The lobby of the Warrenton j postoffice will be open each day until 11 p. m. for the convenience of the patrons of the office, Leonard Daniel, post- , master, announced yesterday. ' Daniel said that through the | town board of commissioners, the Mayor and police department, arrangements have been made to have the police check and lock the lobby each evening at 11 o'clock. However, he cautioned, a word of warning ] is given against loitering in , the post office building. He j said offenders are subject to i arrest and prosecution. Daniel also called attention i to the fact that a stamp vend- I ing machine has been placed in the lobby of the postoffice . where 3c and 4c stamps may , be obtained. I Mailing of chain letters at j the local postoffice has been i observed. It has been noted, Daniel said, that there has been an increase of this within this area. These letters or postal cards that ask someone to make copies and send to other people are classed as chain letters and come under the label of lotteries or frauds. He pointed out that such mail is not mailable and that persons mailing them may be , prosecuted.

Authorization of such a meeting?to be attended by property owners along the future Gaston Lake shoreline in Warren County and other interested persons?was given by the Warren County board of commissioners on Monday In calling for the meeting, commissioners voiced the need to learn the sentiment of lake side property owners before taking steps to regulate subdivisions and create a zoning plan affecting thousands of acres of lands bordering the huge reservoir. Action of the commissioners in calling for the meeting? scheduled to begin at 8 p. m. In the Warren County court house here?was prompted by a renewed request from the county's planning board ,lor j the appropriation of $3300 in % funds for Warren's share in the cost of planning for the entire lake area. Marvin Newsom, chairman of the county's planning board, urged the county's governing : body to allocate funds for [ planning as quickly as possible. ! The flooding of the reservoir i area, scheduled by Virginia | Electric and Power Company I for late 1962, makes it imperative that speedy action be taken by Warren County, he said. Newsom told the commisssioncrs that planning boards in several other counties concerned with the orderly development of the area bordering 350 miles of shoreline in North Carolina and Virginia had already put in requests for fund3 for planning services. At a recent meeting of Halifax County lake property owners unanimous approval was | given a planning program, Newsom said. A similar response on the part of Warren County land owners is expect ed, he said. At the meeting scheduled to be held here March 31, not only property owners, but other interested county citizens as well, will meet to hear the (See SESSION, page It) Grandson Of Mitchells Dies Mr. and Mrs. John Q.
