Faulk Alston's Lopes for the calling of a mass meeting to discuss conditions in the Warren County Wel fare Department came to nothing on Monday morning, when Chairman Amos Capps told him that the commission ers could see no purpose in calling the meeting. Alston had unleased a scaling attack upon the op eration of the Welfare De partment at the March meet ing of the commialoners, when he said that Welfare personnel was overpaid, that unqualified persons were on the relief rolls, that taxpay ers' money was being thrown away, and an investigation was in order. He said that the commissioners should call a mass meeting to diMuaa the matter fully. At that time he said the meeting thould be held in a warehouse, as the court house would not be big enough. With no action upon hi* request forthcoming from the gratulated him upon his ap pearance before the commis sioners and told him that they were in agreement with him. He had with him a notebook containing names, but the commissioners said that they did not consider it necessary that the names should be read. Alston said that he had nothing personally against Julian Farrar, Welfare Su perintendent, or any of the caseworkers, but that the whole Welfare Department was in a terrible mess. He suggested that the commis sioners hire a plainsclothes man to investigate the Wel fare Department, bat Capps said the nest step would be to hire another irta to in vestigate the investigator. "Do that, too," Alston said. "It will save the county money." Business Hoists To Be Open Wriiesdiy The majority of burineas houses of Warren ton will r? main open ant Wednesday after noon, April 10, am to Thousands of acres of forest land were doomed late Thursday afternoon by a forest fire that had already swept over hundreds of acres of land just northeast of Warrenton. In the path of the fire are many homes which are threatened to be consumed by the fire that has been completely out of control for hours and at four o'clock Thursday afternoon was racing toward Vaughan. Battling the flames are forest fire fighters, town fire trucks, all departments of the Warren County Rural Fire Department, and hundreds of volun teers. Lending valiant service is a large gasoline trans fer tru'rk, volunteered by Bullock Oil Company, which has hauled thousands of gallons of water from Warrenton's mains. The fire originated behind Virginia-Carolina Lumber Compar.y around 11 o'clock Thursday. All fire trucks of the Warrenton Rural Fire Depart ment stationed at Warrenton were out fighting other fires, and the Warrenton Fire Department answered the call. As the flames began to spread, all trucks of the Warrenton Rural Fire Depart ment were called in. These included the three trucks at Warrenton, the Areola Truck and the Afton-Elberon truck. Also battling the blaze was the Norlina Fire Department. The Sheriff's Department and the Highway Pa trol are directing traffic, blocking roads and otherwise lending all active assistance possible. The fire a few hours after its origin, raced to Highway 158 where hope had been held that it could be checked, but it jumped the road and spread rapidly, fanned by a brisk wind, racing behind and near the Warrenton Golf Course, and by four o'clock was near Embro, heading toward Vaughan and possibly Littleton.

The commissioners, in reg ular session Monday, had a full day with a number of delegations appearing concern ing roads, a report from Dr. Robert Young, Health Officer, and a discussion upon the use of the armory, although little official action was tak en. Captain Robert L. Duke appeared before the com missioners relatives to re quest for armory use and explaining his policy in re gards to leasng the armory, which was no leasing except for company sponsored pur poses. Duke said the con dition of the armory and the cost of its upkeep caused the policy of no leasing ex cept for company sponsored purposes to be adopted seve ral months ago. He said that he felt that use of the ar mory except for military purposes would cause a heavy bill to the county. The com missioners stated their agree ment with the policy and said that the Armory was In charge of Captain Duke. Dr. Young reviewed the work of the Health Depart ment, praised the coopera tion of hi* staff, and ex pressed his appreciation for the line cooperation of the public.
