Purpose Dog Program Is Control Of Rabies The main purpose of ? dog program in a county is the control of rabies, Dr. Robert F. Young, part-time Health Officer for Warren County, told the Board of County Con Monday. Elimination. of stray dogs is secondary, he said. Dr. Young, for many years, health officer in Halifax County and now also serving Warren on a part time was before the an a get-acquainted m The Health Offlqar that to impound all The reason for this, he said Is that the dog may be In pounded, and the painfu rabies treatment avoided ii many instances. As for the difficulty o picking up stray dogs, Dr Young illustrated the poln by a hypothetical case ii Halifax County. A parson ii Hollister, for instance, hi mid, may call the dog ward sn at Halifax. If the -rardei inswers the call he woub have a round-trip of aoax 10 milk.

John Graham High School, which reached the finals, was eliminated in the night cap on the same night by William R. Davie by the score of 53 to 48. The Norlina girls had little diff'culty in defeating the hard playing and determined Aurelian Springs . girls who reached the finals by an up set victory over favored En field on Mnday night. After a slow start, due to freezing tactics by the Aurelian Springs girls, the Norlina girls began to find the range, and to pull away from their opponents, winning quite handily. The Norlina girls missed a perfect conference record by a lone defeat at Enfield earlier in the season. This defeat was avenged at a lat er meeting at Norlina when the Norlina girls won to break a string of some 34 straight victories for Enfield. Receiving a bye for the first contest, the Norlina girls, eliminated Davie on Saturday night in the semi finals. The two victories in the tourney gave Norlina a season conference record of 13 wins and one defeat. John Graham reached the finals by defeating Aurelian Springs in their first game on last Friday night, and defeating Enfield in the semi finals on Monday night. In this game the Yellow Jackets hit 75 per cent from the floor during the second half. Facing Davie, a team which It has twice defeated this year, Warrenton on Tuesday night started off as it would get a third victory and a chance to enter district play offs at Rocky Mount, which started Wednesday night. But they reckoned without the second half effort of their opponents. Leading by six points at the half, the yellow Jackets saw this lead whittl ed down to an even count at the end of the third quar ter and a Davie lead in the final quarter which they were unable to overcome, although they were in a basket of a tie at several points. Victory for Davie is attributed to superior rebounding by the Davie team and stellar play ing by Buck Dickens. The win, it is reported, gave Davie its first tourna ment win in the history of the school. W.-rrenton clos ed its season with a confer ence record of 9 wins and civ InccPQ Forty-five Bootleggers Arrested In Wholesale Round Up This Week Wholesale arrests of nearly half a hundred persons charg ed with selling whiskey were made here this week.

The work would be in three stages, with the first stage costing $60,000 accord ing to A. C. Fair, chairman of the Hotel Warren Corpo rate/!, who presided over the meeting. The Hotel Corporation op erates under a lease agree ment with the town. Fair told the group of the necessity for a definite up grading plan if the hotel is to be kept in operation. He pointed out that today com mercial people and the travel ing public want modern ac comodat.ons and will travel on until they find them. Meeting with the group was; Freeman Howard, an expert-' enced operator of hotels, clubs and motels, who has ? completed a survey of the hotel, its needs and possibil ities Freeman explained in detail the results of his sur vey, which included a sug gested modernization program with cost estimates, income and expense figures and a suggested finance plan. The remodeling program includes adding new baths where none now exist and remodeling the old baths so that each room will have a private tiled bath with glass enclosed tub showers. The rooms would be rebuilt in side, using the latest type of stainproof, permanent finish wall panelling with accousti cal tile ceilings. They would have wall-to-wall carpeting, new modern stain resistant furniture, indirect lighting, a telephone and TV in each room and an air circulating system. An elevator would bo installed in the present elevator shaft. Rooms would be available for group meet ings, bridge and other card parties; two-room suites and adjoining rooms for family groups, as well as a few two and three-room efficiency apartment units. "When completed, there will be no finer or more modern facilities within a 50 miles radius of us," Fair said. After the question and answer session which follow ed, preliminary plans for fi nancing the project were dis cussed. Fair said that all those in attendance were en thusiastic and wanted to get the program underway as soot) as possible.

Alston Warren County's Welfare; program came in for a scath-' ing attack Monday by a War renton man who asked the Board of County Commis sions to put an end to al leged abuses. W. Faulk Alston told the commissioners that the Wel fare program was wasting the taxpayers money, carrying persons on the rolls with no right to be there, and that the personnel was grossly overpaid. He said that he wanted "something done about it." He suggested that the sal aries of Welfare workers be cut in half. He said that was more than they are worth and if they quit it would not be hard to find replacements. It would be well for the com missioners, he said, to hirej someone to investigate the whole business. Alston asked that the com missioners call a special meet ing of the board to which the public would be invited and that the list of those on the welfare rolls be submitted at this meeting so that the pub lic could see just how the taxpayers money is being wasted. "Don't try to have the meeting in the court house," Alston said. "Hold it in a warehouse in order that all who are disgusted with the Welfare program may at tend." Julian Farrar, Welfare Sup erintendent, was in the meet-i ing at the time that Alston made his charges. He made i no comment until after Als-I ton's departure, when the I commissioners asked him if! he had any comment to I make. He said that he had none J except that a list of those on | the welfare rolls are turned over to the County Auditor each month ?pd are available! at any timj for-public in spection. The only restric-1 tions, be said, is that the names may not be used for commercial purposes. Farrar also said that if any person knowing of any abuses on the part of those on the welfare rolls would bring it to his attention or to the at tention of Commissioner Al fred J. Ellington, a member of the Welfare Board, he felt sure that the condition would be corrected.
