DUKE JONES, Business Manager Member North Carolina Press Association ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN WARRENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. UNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS "Second Class Postage Paid At Warrenton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year, $3.00; Six Months, $1.50 Firemen To Have Home News that the Weldon Hall prize house on the corner of Front and Col lege Streets will be torn down and will be replaced by a fire house for the War renton Rural Fire Department will be of interest to those who have loved the old in Warrenton and to friends of the rural firemen who are to have a home of their own. The Hall prizehouse is the last of the old type tobacco prizehouses in Warren ton. Three others, on Front Street, where the Freezer Locker Plant and Blaylock's Funeral Home now stand, have been torn down in recent years and only the Hall house remains as a reminder of the antiquity of the War renton Tobacco Market. The prizehouse was built prior to 1880 by Holden and Wynn, and was purchased by Weldon Hall and John Tarwater from J. M. Gardner at a time when Tarwater was learning the tobac co business under Hall. Later when Tarwater became a Reynold's buyer, he sold his interest to Hall. Weldon Hall, Jr., who obtained the property from his father, has agreed to sell the building site to the Rural Fire Department, and the deed is expected to be signed with in the next few days. While E. G. Tarwater has provided quarters for the local fire company as a public service for some time, the quarters arc no longer adequate for the growing and expanding rural fire de partment. The fine record of the War Berlin (The Observer (London) The position in Berlin is as dangerous as it Is tragic. The Communist authorities may hope, by their brutality, to discourage other East Germans from trying to es.'ape, but they are also gojng the best way to encourage a new spirit of nationalism and a longing for revenge among the West Germans. There is a serious danger that they may one day pro voke a West German attack on the Wall or across the frontier which would have incalcu lable consequences. The West Germans cannot be blamed for their indignation?any nation would feel the same. But they should consider whether they have not some responsibility by refusing to countenance any negotiations between Russia and the West which might imply some rec ognition of East Germany or some limitation of West German arms. The Russians are running fearful risks by their bullying and brinkmanship, but at least Mr. Khrushchev seems to be giving the West one more chance to negotiate before he takes the final step of signing a separate peace treaty with East Germany. Whether he is prepared to offer any terms acceptable to the West or do anything to relieve Herr Ulbright's Odious tyranny in East Germany is another matter, but the West cannot afford to dis miss it out of hand. The comfortable argu ment that the best policy for Berlin is to do nothing has proved wrong. With every month that passes the plight of the Berlinerg grows , West Germany grows stronger and impatient of her allies' restraint, and East German regime more precarious in of the WalL This is a nettle that must be grasped.

Any financial help that these friends can give the firemen, who are working on a shoe string, to pay for the erection of a building on the site, we are certain will be deeply appreciated. Haywood Duke Haywood Duke, who died at his home in Greensboro on Saturday, numbered among his many friends a large number in Warrenton where he and Mrs. Duke operated Hotel Warren for a year or more in the early 30's and where he and his family frequently visited. His daughter married Peter Seaman, Jr., of Chapel Hill and Warrenton. The fol lowing tribute from The Greensboro Daily News will be of interest to friends here and in the county: What does a good host mean to a city? It is almost impossible to measure the in fluence of a genial innkeeper. We know that Haywood Duke brought to Greensboro and the King Cotton Hotel and the Edgefield Inn a great number of conventions, religious gath erings and celebrities who brightened the local scene. He served two dioceses of the Episcopal Church in this state, the Eastern diocese where he was lay reader of St. Andrew's-By the-Sea at Nags Head, Christ Church in Eliz abeth City and a mission he helped form in Ahoskie; and the North Carolina Diocese, in which he assisted in selecting a bishop coad jutor, served as a member of the standing committee, helped in the business affairs of Holy Trinity Church, assisted in the forma tion of St. Francis Church, and supported the extension of the church in Greensboro His interests embraced the Salvation Army, the Children's Home Society of North Caro lina and the Boys' Club of America. For a year he battled the debilitating ef fect of a malignancy, but his confidence and faith inspired similar qualities in those who called him a friend. NEWS OF FIVE, TEN AND 25 YEARS AGO Looking Backward Into The Record September 20, 1957 The Warren County Agricultural Fair will open on Monday, September 23, with the Page Combined Shows playing the midway. James B. Boyce, III, a native of Warrenton, was a guest in the home of Albert Schweister at his home in Gunsbach in Alsace last week and heard him play Bach on the organ. Prospects for obtaining a food processing plant for this area are far from bright, Frank Reams, County Agent, said yesterday. No increase in the tax rate may be neces sary to pay off a proposed $160,000 bond issue which will be submitted to the voters on Octo ber 1, it was revealed at a meeting of the Town Comraiissioners on Monday night. September 19, 1952 Brief dedicatory services were held Sunday afternoon on the eve of the opening of tZarlam Boyd Elementary School. Patrolman O. L. Creech has been transferr ed from Warrenton to Concord and his suc cessor is Frank Allsbrook who came here from Elizabeth City. Miss Mary Bland Josey of Tarboro, a Ro tary Exchange student to England, was the guest speaker at a meeting of the Warrenton Rotary Club on Tuesday night. The Booster's Club membership drive offic of 172, President Jimmy Roberts announced Thursday. 17, 1927 Warren County voters will decide on next Tuesday whether or not the county shall Issue $20,000 in bonds for repairing the Jail. The Town of Warrenton will in the next few weeks spend more thai $2,000 on resur facing its streets, according to an order pat ed by the Board of Town Commissioners at a called meeting Monday night The Warrenton Tobacco Market opened on Thnraday with around 100,000 pounds of to official average of 24c a Farm Leader Learns Much On Oregon Trip Know-how coupled with an abundance of initiative, imagi nation and boldness are the ingredients North Carolina needs to take advantage of her agribusiness potential. This is the conclusion reach ed by a prominent North Car olina farmer and businessman, J. Muse McCotter, after view ing agribusiness developments in the Pacific Northwest. McCotter, who visited the Northwest as a member of the 1962 Agribusiness Caravan, re turned with high hopes for the future of North Carolina's food processing and forestry indus tries. "I am sure Gov. Hatfield of Oregon taught us a lesson when he told us 94 per cent of all their fruits and vegeta bles are processed," McCotter said. Oregonians have built a nat ional reputation for their pro ducts, McCotter explained. They also have emphasized close cooperation between the grower, processor and market er, and supported food process ing research at Oregon State Unviersity. Growers attach importance to their contractual agreements with processors, the Tar Heel noted. They honor their con tract regardless of the fresh market price at the time of harvest. "Without such committ ments," McCotter emphasized, "a food processing industry cannot survive and the grower cannot be assured a market for his produce. What we saw was specification farming with a high rate of efficiency." Much of Oregon's production is on small efficiently-manag ed, family-type farms. McCotter said the visit con vinced him that North Caro lina has all the ingredients to produce livestock economically and efficiently. "We have much land whose low fertility or difficult drain age make it unsuitable for row crops," he said. "Such land with proper management can be converted into lush pas tures for profitable cattle pro duction." Economists at North Caro lina State College say N. C. farmers could increase beef cattle income $19.5 million an nually and swine income $20.5 by just producing enough live stock to bring the state's pro cessing plants up to 100 per cent of capacity. McCotter noted poultry can ning plants on the West Coast were turning out a variety of products, such as noodle soup and poultry fat. "I am not a poultryman," he said, "but I understand there is not a poultry canning plant in North Carolina. It seems that our great poultry industry would make one prof itable." Although forestry is big bus iness in North Carolina, Mc Cotter still wonders "if we realize its importance." Are we managing our farm forests properly?" he asked. "And what about all our idle acres that could be planted in trees?" McCotter, a native of Pamli co County and resident of New Bern, has served two trr-ms on the North Carolina State Board of Agriculture, and is active in many agricultural organiza tions. He made the West Coast trip along with 165 other farm and business leaders, under the sponsorship of Wachovia Bank 5c Trust Co. with the coopera tion of the N. C. Department af Agriculture and State Col lege. Visit In Pantego Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Chev ?fisited relatives in Pantego for :he weekend due to the illness >f her father, Mr. Johnson. Ruth Peeling, editor of The Cartaret County News-Times, writes for information on the control of sand spurs in her lawn. I liked her imaginative description of the prickly pests when she compared them to "medieval truncheons with spiked knobs on the end." She also said they were hard on ladies' sheer hose. Dr. Glenn Klingman tells me that we now have no control for the sand spur in lawns. Even if we did cats, dogs and rabbits would re-infest the grass areas, making control rather difficult. It seems that we are having a rash of tree decline and dy ing this summer, especially maples. You may remember that I wrote earlier about a specimen of maple in a lawn which was in a steady state of decline due to root cutting for public utilities and sealing-off oxygen supply and water to roots with pavement and fill I soil. Now a call for help comes from Haywood County about a whole row of maples "dying in the tops." These trees are on a lake shore in beautiful and well maintained grounds. I requested that root sec tions be sent in for examina tion This was done but no root-rot troubles of any con sequence were found. I also requested information on root cutting, filling, etc., and the story is the same?sealing off the oxygen and water supply with pavement and fill soil. City planners should wake up to the fact that trees are important and plan according ly. We zone for this and that, why not give the trees a break? The public utility companies, who are the worst offenders, should join the movement. If you have peach trees around the house or in the home orchard, they should be treated for borers. The larvae of the borer attack the base of the tree just below the soil line. You can detect their presence by the gummy sub stance they exude.
