NERVOUS COWPOKES?An impromptu pistol
twirling contest staged on a Littleton street re
cently by two youthful cowboys resulted in ex
pressions of both apprehension and confidence
on the part of the contestants. In the picture
at left, Scott Bobbitt, three-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Buxton Bobbitt of Littleton, appears
to have the situation well in hand. But Jimmy
Clark, 3, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Clark of
Littleton, appears dubious about the outcome as
he looks on. But in the picture at right, the
situation is reversed?pistol owner Jimmy con
fidently twirls the toy sidearm while Scott ob
serves with a degree of uncertainty.

Time For Listing
Taxes Is Extended
The date for listing taxes
in Warren County was ex
tended from January 31 un
til February 15, by the Board
of County Commissioners
here Monday.
The commissioners, during
a fairly busy day, took note
of the failure" of the State
Highway Commission to com
plete the link in Interstate
Highway No. 85 between
Henderson and Durham.
In a minute requesting that
the State Highway Commis
sion be requested to improve
U. S. Highway 401 between
Norlina and Warren ton by
re-surfacing and widening the
same, the commissioners also
requested that the construc
tion of the missing link in
1-85 between Henderson and
Durham be accelerated.
The commissioners passed
a resolution asking that
Leonard C. Cooper, Negro
Agricultural Agent for War
ren County, be made a trus
tee of A. & T. College in
Greensboro, of which he is
a graduate. The resolution
read:
MRMolved, That the Board
of Commissioners for the
i County of Warren recom
mend to Governor Terry San
ford for his consideration
that Leonard C. Cooper of
Warren County be appointed
as a trustee of A. & T. Col
lege at Greensboro. The
Board leels that Leonard C.
Cooper is well qualified for
the above position."
A. P. Rodwell, Jr., tax col
lector, reported taxes collect
ed to date in the amount of
$278,818.38. Of this amount
$52,791.03 was collected in
January.
Dogs To Receive
One-Year Vaccine
Dogs vaccinated in th<
Warren County Rabies Clinii
to be held in Warren Count;
this spring, will be given one
year vaccine In place of thi
three-year vaccine given foi
the past few year*.
This was proposed by Dr
Donald Gwynn, veterinariai
serving the county, and ap
proved by the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners on Monday
One of the reasons glvei
for the change is that th?
system gives a better checl
upon dogs vaccinated, Dr
Gwynn said.
Dr. Gwynn was accompa
nied to the board meeting bj
Robert Stegall, dog warden
and discussed some of th<
problems ronnoctwl with Um

I enforcement of the dog law.
One of the difficulties is in
catching stray dogs which the
law does not permit to be
shot without the owners per
mission. He said another real
problem is the determination
of ownership of a dog.
It was proposed that the
charge of vaccinating dogs
would be $1.00 each during
the 00 days in which the clin
ic will be operated when the
dogs are brought to the clin
ics. Other-wise, the charge
would be $2.00.
Before any final plans are
concluded, the advice of the

Dr. Young Employed
As Health Officer
Dr. Robert F. Young, j
health director of Halifax j
County for the past 20 years I
or more, will serve Warren |
County on a part-time basis,
beginning on next Wednes
day morning, Feb. 13.
The employment of Dr.
Young was recommended by
the Warren County Board of
Health at a meeting in the
Health Center on Tuesday
night, over which Amos
Capps presided.
Approval of the employ
ment of Dr. Young was given j
by the Board of County
Commissioners on Monday,1
subject to the recommenda
ion of the Board of Health.
Capps, who also serves as
chairman of the Board of
Commissioners, told the com
missioners that in its action

Peeler Says Larger
Quarters Are Needed
Quarters for the Board of
Education are inadequate, J.
Rodger Peeler, superintend-j
ent of school^, told members!
of the Board of Education j
here on Monday.
Peeler said that crowded
quarters, with personnel in
more than one building, and
a storage problem necessitat
ed larger quarters and the
Board of Education would put
in its 1963-64 budget the sum
of $35,000 for a new building.
Better quarters for the
school syfteiri had been rec
ommended by the Grand Jury
at the January term of Court,
and the commissioners were
in agreement with the need.
While the Board of Educa-|
tion prefers new quarters j
tailored to meet the needs of
the schools, Peeler said, it
might be possible for the
Boa. 1 of Education to use
the ikttng now used as an
agrir itural building on the
court square. He said that he
was not too familiar with the
building, but it could prob
ably be uced for the purposes
of the school system.
Frank W. Reams, county
agricultural agent, in the
commissioners' room at the
time of Peeler's appearance,
said that he believed that the
federal government would
pay half the cost of a new
agricultural building under
the Public Works Accelerat
ed program. He estimated
the cost of a new building,
which would be located on
the Hendrick's lot?upon
which the county holds an
option?would be around
$100,000
Reams said that a building
to serve a combination pur
pose and housing both the
Board of Education and gov
ernment agencies, might be
more feasible than the erec
tion of a new agricultural
building. In that event, he
said, the Extension Depart
ment workers would continue
to use the praleot building,
which would be adequate for
its needs.
The board took no action
on the proposals, but indicat
ed 'hat further investigation
and study would be in order.
without a health director
since January 27. when Dr J.
V. Weaver of Vance County,
who had been giving a half
day to the county since the
resignation of Dr. Burns
Jones last October, resigned.
Dr. Weaver, who had been
paid $100 a month plus trav
el expenses, told the com
missioners in January that he
could no longe serve Warren
County.
Dr Young, who agreed to
give Warren County one 10
hour day a week, and more
time in emergencies, will be
paid an annual salary of $3,
456, one-fifth of his total sal
ary of $17,280. Dr. Jones
who divided his timo between
Warren County anu Franklin
County, received $5,600 from
Warren County, plus some
mileage allowance. This
amount had been set up in
the 1962 63 budget, as Dr.
Jones resigned to accept a
position in Raleigh after the
budget had been approved.
Capps said Thursday morn
ing that he feels that the
county is very fortunate to
obtain the services of Dr.
Young. He said that he was
familiar with the fine record
he has made in Halifax Coun-j
ty, and he believes that he
can carry on the work of
Warren County Health Direc
tor iu the time allotted to
this county.
Capps also quoted Dr. Hig
gins, director of Public
'Health for the State of North
Carolina, as saying that Dr.
Young is not only one of the
best health officers in North
Carolina, but is one of the
best in the nation.
