"Second Class Postage Paid at Warrenton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One year, $3:00; Six Months, $1.50 Attend Meeting The mass meeting to be held at the court house here on Monday tnorrtin *? th? nature o f which i a a ? hearing on the proposed luiopt/ ?. ?! subdivision regnlM"-;* for Warren County a 3 recommended by the Warren County Planning Board?could well be one of the n. jst important meetings held in Warren County in many years. Because of its importance, we hope that the meeting will be well attended. If properly developed, the Gaston res ervoir could mean a turning point in the development of Warren County. It could mean numbers of other people brought to the county for a part of the year at least, with a stimulus to business in the area. It could and no doubt will mean an increase in the real estate values in Warren County, thus to some extent giving tax relief to all our people through the broadening of the county's tax base. It could well mean thousands of dollars additional profits to those owning land on the reservoir, and it could well mean the encouraging of more industries to come to our county. There is little doubt that Warren County will receive some benefit from the reservoir. There is even less doubt that its maximum development will be impossible unless there is regulation of subdivisions that will spring up on the reservoir. But if Warren County is to receive the maximum benefit from the develop ment of the reservoir, the cooperation and the understanding of the public is necessary. Approval of the regulations j by a score of citizens would probably J mean their adoption by the county com-1 missioners. But the job of the planning board will be made easier and more ef ficient if the public has an understand ing of its goals. For this reason, we hope that the meeting will be well at tended. Letters To The Editor ASKS QUESTIONS To The Editor: I read with interest the rather lengthy re ports of Mr. Cooley and Mr. Godfrey as pub lished in your paper of last week. Out of re spect for their respective positions I will not question what they said but rather would like to raise some questions about what they left unsaid. And so I would ask these public ser vants, and perhaps include our local public servants, for an answer to the following: If you know that this year's farm program saved the taxpayers $500,000,000, then you also must have known just how much pre vious year's costs were and how much this year's cost was. Why, then, were these figures not stated, or were you afraid the public wouldn't understand? And if, as you state, the farmer's income will be up by $1,000,000,000 this year, in view of the fact that you claim to have decreased production and yet have achieved little in the way of higher prices, where and to what is this income gain attributed? If this claimed Increase is due to direct land diversion pay ments, would you please verify its exact cost to the taxpayer? I am sure many of us have wondered about the government crop loan program. I wonder if the basic figures concerning its operation over the past 20 years could not be made pub lic. Such questions as the public might like to have the answers to as: What are the total losses to date? What is the volume in government support ed storage at the present time, with each commodity listed separately? What is the condition or quality of these commodities at present? And is it not a fact that all commodities purchased by the government represent a loss to somebody, in that If they are not put on the market the government must take the loss, and If they are put on the market the farmers must take a lower price for current production which in itself is a loss? Is not then the only solution, one in which these sur plus stock are utilized in other than normal channels? Would it not be better to convert these surplus stocks Into alcohol to be mixed with gasoline and used as motor fuel and ththi reduce the inevitable loss to deterioration and storage coats? And are you aware of what was said at the Bright Belt Warehouse Convention held in July of this year? Were not the gloomy pros pects for our export trade cited? I quote, "Foreign competition in leaf production is in creasing and world trade barriers are mount ing", also, "Rhodesia has a good tobacco pro gram and will increase production and im prove quality in the years ahead." Can you dtay these statements and if not, can they be ignored? Furthermore, is it not a fact that our share of the world's tobacco production at one time was 29% and that it is now 22%, and that if ?ur tobacco production had increased in pro portion to the growth in population we would i he producing 14% more tobacco than we Is it net a fact that ail of our farm pro on post history and past perform y, in that for the succeeding I by the fact that a ; buy the right to produce a crop that this cost WQ1 add to of $200 to $200 And is not the of tobacco trpaclad to fan hald at. n very high level, simply in order that it might produce two incomes, one for the farmer and one for the allotment owner? It would be easier sometimes to just keep quiet, to take what I can get now, and ignore the future. Sometimes I even wonder if I am right in my thinking. Perhaps someone will answer these questions in a way that will show me the truth. WILLIAM H. BENDER THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE To The Editor: | In the recent bond election in which the issues were rejected by the voters of North Carolina we have heard the voice of the peo ple In a democracy. Whether the reason for rejection was too many taxes, lack of infor mation or the unpopularity of Governor San ford's education program we do not know. However, we do know that the people have ex pressed themselves. Their voice his been NEWS OF FIVE, TEN AND 25 YEAES AGO Looking Backward Into The Record November 30, 1956 At least 5000 acres of vegetables would be needed if a frozen foods branch plant could be brought to Warren County, Warren farm ers were told at a mass meeting held at War renton and Norlina on Tuesday.

Warren County farmers will lose approxi mately 1500 acres in tobacco allotments if quotas are approved, Clyde M. Coleman, ASC office manager, said yesterday. He said that there is little doubt that the quotas would be approved. Santa Claus will make his official visit to Warren ton on December 10 under the spon-' aorship of the Warrenton Merchants Associa tion. , November 36, 1951 The Warrenton Tobacco Market will close at the end of sales today, with total sales ex pected to exceed the 12,000,000 million pounds mark. Dr. Thomas Holt and family, who have been making their home in Rocky Mount for several yerra, are expected to return to Warrenton this week where they will make1 their home. Warren County exceeded its quota in the Defense Bond Drive which closed November 30, P. B. Boyd, bond sales chairman, said yes terday.

Their decision must stand until they have a change of mind on these mat ters. The Afton-Elberon controver sy a few weeks ago centered aroupd the voice of the people for the education of their chil dren versus the power of the school officials for the educa tion of the children. From all indications the majority of the people in the Afton-Elberon School District felt that the spirit of democracy was with them in trying to keep the sev enth and eighth grades there. j.They felt that our government is. "Of the people, by the peo ple. for the people". The letter of the law was with the school officials and the transfer of I students was made. Although we have had and still have ! genuine respect for our school officials and the law the fact remains that the voice of the people in any school district i must carry great weight. We come now to face a pos , sible county wide bond elec (tion in Warren County for the purpose of erecting adequate buildings for the students. Surely more adequate build (ings are needed and it would be unwise not to provide them. I If a bond issue is needed to POULAN CHAIN SAWS EASY STARTINO PERFECT BALANCE MORE POWER SALES & SERVICE WILLIAMS MOTOR SALES WARRENTON, N. C. get proper buildings then our citizens should vote for it If, however, our citizens fsil to provide necessary funds for buildings we must recognize their voice in the matter. The ideal is that the education of the child come first but In reality the will of the people for the education of their chil dren is first. The people pro vide the children, the taxes and the votes. Their voice must be heard. We sincerely hope that the citizens of Warren j County will see the "need ofj better school buildings and vote to provide them if a bond election is held. J. M.

MOSTL Y iPERSONALl By BIGNA1X JONES The thing that impressed m< most at the banquet for the John Graham High School foot ball players and their glr friends at the Country Club ot Saturday night was the care free laughter of the younf people. The young boys and girl! were a happy group and the] laughed easily and natural!] which made the speakers fee good as their efforts at wil went over big. I would nol downgrade the humor display ed at times by various speak ers, but it took little to make those young' boys and girls laugh. For instance, they wer< convulsed, as Principal Tom Brown said that he had an an nouncement to make, and some one in the group said, "What, no school " And I, too, laugh ed. Shaw once said that youth was too valuable to waste on children, but I am certain that youth was not wasted on the young people at the Country Club Saturday night. Their in nocent fun and laughter, I found, very refreshing in a world where so many seem to have lost the ability to laugh. The banquet was a nice af fair and the mothers and fath ers of the football players arc to be congratulated for this manifestation of appreciation of the fine efforts made by the football players. I was also happy that the manifestation of appreciation took the form of good food, so well prepared. The John Graham football team had the best record in years and the players are an unusually fine group of boys. \s a result the entire commun ity is proud of the squad. Both Coaches Parker and Webb rpoke of the high calibre of the boys making up the squad. Perhaps Coach Webb best ex iressed the feeling of the en tire group when he said, "They ire the finest group of boys I lave ever been associated with. They are so fine that it makes ne feel real humble." Like most people here, I lave known many of the play ers since they entered school, md I am inclined to agree with the coaches that they are i fine group of boys. They are friendly and seemingly unspoil id by the honors and the >laudits bestowed upon them. Jut I think that the natural in clination towards good traits las been encouraged by the ine example set by the two coaches, both men of high deals and with a genuine love or young people. It is nice that the John Iraham team won the confer ence title and went within two >oints of winning the regional itle, but the nicest thing to ne about the season was the mall number of injuries re ceived by the players. Early in he season one player suffer ed a painful, but not serious njury as an opposing player tepped on his back; later an ither player broke a finger, rhis was practically all the lo uries received during the sea eon. Last Friday night, play ng against a heavier, hard charging, hard blocking, hard ackling team at Rocky Mount, lot a single Joh^ Graham play er was forced to leave the ;ame. Another indication of fine coaching was the fact that John Graham did not draw a single penalty during the game. As the football season ends and the boys and girls turn to basketball play, all of us are very proud of our football team and their coaches, and I believe that many of us, as a result, are just a little bit prouder of and have an in creased interest in the entire of the achooL Miss Eaily Bellinger apent the weekend it her home la Guilford College.

I- A. Dear Miss S. L. A.: j shrinkage. However, because Naturally you are heart-1 the satin outer fabric did broken over the condition of your gown. An explanation is in order and, perhaps, may offer a solution. Your gown is lined with a sew-in crisp crinaline lining which is attached to the outer fab ric at the hem and all the seams. This is a common practice to give garments additional weight and drap i n g qualities. Sometimes marquisette or a non-woven fabric is used as a sewn-in lining. The puckering comes when not shrink and the inner lining did. In effect, the puckering resulted. Had the lining been an "under-slip" free at the side seams and hems, in stead of being sewn-in, the puckering or rippling would not have occurred. There is only- one cure for your trou ble and that is to. remove the sewn-in lining and re place it. The dress manu facturer should have used a sizing not soluble in dry cleaning. There was no way your gown is cleaned. The (that your drycleaner could sewn-in lining had a sizing' know this, in it which was removed J when it wis cleaned.
