Littleton Merchants Study Questionnaire By RUTH MINCHER LITTLETON?A group of Littleton merchants and others interested in the town's growth were told Thursday night "the potential is here for the town to grow." The statement came from Roy Cofer of the Community Planning Division, Department of Conservation and Develop ment, who was reporting to the Littleton Planning Board on the results of the recent shopping and marketing ques tionnaire distributed here. Others present from the State C. and D. were George Monaghan, who has been work ing closely with the Littleton group as well as the county planning groups. and Miss Glenda Lackey, an intern with the state government for the summer. She is a native of South Carolina and a student at the University of North Carolina. These representatives were introduced by Joseph P. New som, chairman of the Planning Board, who welcomed the group and told them, "We in Littleton need to ask our selves 'In What Direction Are We Going?' We all know that we've got to change, we need to change. The Planning Board will offer suggestions and rec ommendations and with the help of these C and D repre sentatives, Littleton should grow." "The potential is here." Monaghan told the group. "A plan doesn't ipean anything by itself. It takes people work ing together and especially needs the cooperation and par ticipation of the merchants and the business people." Mayor J. Milton Stokes com mended both the C and D of ficials and the State Depart ment for their fine work with the Littleton group and with other towns in the state. "Never has Littleton had more potential than it has right now," the Mayor said. From the many charts and graphs which have been drawn up and worked out by Cofer and Monaghan, the representa tives said that the graphs "prove conclusively" that Lit tleton has a far greater poten tial than is being used. Cofer said he felt that the response to the questionnaires had been "very good. They gave a variety of answers." Nearly 500 questionnaires were distributed by the Lions, Boy Scouts and others, and a total of 252 were filled in and returned. In reply to the question, "How often do you shop in Littleton?" 155 answered "twice a week or more." There were 56 who checked "once a week;" four answered "twice a month;" 20 checked "seldom or never," and 14 gave no reply to this question. To the question, "Do you live in Littleton," there were 182 (72 per cent) who answ ered "yes," and 70 (28 per cent) checked "no." In listing the shortcomings in Littleton. "Modernization" headed the list with 142 per sons checking this anwer. Sec ond of the shortcomings was "Goods Selection," with 137 checking this one; ? "High Prices" came third with 128 checking. Other shortcomings they list ed were 44 checking parking; 15 street lighting, and 16 chcked courtesy of the sales people Fifteen checked "yes" to the question "Are you planning to leave Littleton within the next five years?" However, this I was attributed to the fact that I some of the families who re side in the trailer court had} filled the questionnaires and will move on when their jobs I on the bridge and dam pro jects are completed In listing the facilities that Littleton should have, 89 said "another doctor." Next on the list was a department store with 78 listing this one. In dustry was listed by 46 and a dentist by 43. More work op portunity was requested by 27. Thirty-seven listed recrea tion facilities and 23 request ed a supermarket, with 17 listing "restaurant." These responses were entire ly voluntary. The people sim ply listed the things that they felt Littleton should have. Reports were given on the population growth and the economic growth with a graph showing the family expendi tures in Littleton and how much is going out of the town each year. There also were charts show ing the developed town land according to acreage and the central business district's struc ture. Thus information will be available to the public in bro chure form later, Cofer said.

Mr. and Mrs. J. m Rhodes. it was burned in 1919 and never rebuilt, but the memory of the college ha? been kept alive by the Littln ton College Alumnae Associa tion.

Harmon was pre sented with a certificate and cash award by the Federal Aviation Agency this week al the Raleigh-Durham Airport ir appreciation of his Outstanding and Superior Performance oi his official duties during the past year. Virgil Frazier, Area Coord! nator, presenting the wards, in behalf of the Southern Re gion's Administrator, Arviti O Basnight, said: "Harmon has constantly devoted himself and much of his own time to pro vide an orderly and progres sive training program for the Raleigh facility, which has con tributed greatly toward the ef ficiency of all personnel in providing the users of our ser vices with the high degree of skill in all functions necessary in improving the service and relationship of the Agency and the Aviation Public. "His keen awareness and broad knowledge of the duties performed in a Flight Service Station, including the numer ous administrative duties re quired for efficient operation, with his demonstrated per formance in maintaining a 1 high productivity of work from those under his supervision is highly commendable.

SCHOOLS ; (Continued from page 1) ably be moved to Hawkins ti alleviate a crowded condition). 11 3. To build a new school in the Bethlehem section of the '! county to serve the Haliwas. Halifax County would be ex pected to share in the cost of building this school, since ap proximately half of the Haliwa pupils reside in Halifax Coun ty. The cost to Warren Coun ty would be approximately $150,000. The foregoing proposals are subject to a study of popula tion trends, as well as a de tailed survey by the Division of Schoolhouse Planning of the State Department of Public In struction. The Board of Education pro poses to continue the operation of the Hecks Grove School, the best of the small schools, un til it can be determined that the Negro school population in the southern part of the opun ty is not on te decrease. The Hecks Grove School would, threfore, serve as a "buffer" against any possible "over-| building." The bonds could be reiired j without an Increase in the tax rate.

As of now the colored peo ple of Warren County have only demonstrated a desire for better schools. This was dem onstrated by the "Snow Hill Incident." A very large delegation ap peared before the Board and expressed themselves unmis takedly that they are unwill ing to continue with the small schools. We believe they mean it. Your serious consideration is invited here because this ac tually can affect every school child in Warren County.
