Tentative Budaets Submitted
The Warren County Rural
Fire Department on Monday
requested the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners to place in
the 1963-64 budget the sum
of $10,000 to defray the costs
of operating the Warrenton
Rural Fire Department and
its auxiliaries.
Appearing before the board
to submit its budget and re
quest the donation from the
board were Fire Chief Jimmy

Lancaster, A. A. Wood,
Charles Bowen and Monroe
Gardner.
Lancaster also said that the
board would be asked for a
contribution towards the
building of a new fire house
at Warrenton The fire com
pany has a lot, Lancaster
said, but it is estimated that
| the building will cost some
! $18,000 00.
Alston Again Airs
Welfare Dept. Views
W. Faulk Alston, Warren
ton citizen, disturbed about
the way the Warren County
Welfare Department is per
forming or not performing
its duties, appeared before
the Board of County Commis
I sioners on Monday for the
j third straight first Monday to
lodge a protest.
Alston told the commission
ers that some 300 persons had
told him that they thought
he was right in his protest
and that something ought to
be done. He said that he
felt that as a start the com
missioners might fire Julian
Farrar, Welfare Superintend
ent. He was also somewhat
critical of the requirements
that case workers must have
a college education, holding
that a bright high school stu
dent could do the work, at a
considerable saving? to the
county.
More specifically, Alston
named one person on the
rolls, recounting her TV set
and trip to California, and
said that he felt that this was
an outrage. Told that he
should have taken this com
plaint tb the Welfare Board,
Alston said that he was hold
ing the commissioners re
sponsible.
Alston at one point made
an empassioned plea for re
lief from condition? in the
Welfare Department, pound
ing the table at one point
for emphasis. The commis
sioners must give the taxpay
ers some relief from this
condition or else . . he said.
Chairman Amos Capps in-1
quired what Alston meant by '<
his or else and wanted to
know should the board con
sider that a threat? Alston
said no.
Then Capps ended the dis
cussion on a friendly note by
recounting an anectidote.
"That reminds me," Capps
said, "of the man who told
his boss that he was going to
get a raise or else."
When the bos? ""anted to
know what th? man
by or else, he repii?d,
either get the rai"? o. f~.
will keep on work'"' at tis
same salary."
Diverted Wheat Land
May Not Be Grazed
Land which is being di
verted under the 1963 Wheat
Stabilization and Grain Pro
gram may not be grazed
from May 1 until November,
T. E. Watson, office manager
of the local ASCS Committee,
said yesterday. Any grczing
between May 1 and Novem
ber 1 will be a violation of
the Wheat or Feed Grain
agreement.
Watson said any diverted
land which is planted to a
wildlife food plot or to an
oilseed crop, including soy
beans, may not be grazed dur
ing 1963
The delegation received a
friendly welcome and were
complimented upon the fine
service it has rendered the
county Commissioner Richard
Davis noted that in the re
cent forest fire here that the
firemen had saved at least
16 homes, which he estimated
conservatively to total $160,
000 "That would cover many
510,000 donations," he said.
However, the board made no
commitment, and told the
firemen that their request,
would be considered when
other budget requests are
studied.
Much of the time of the
board Monday was consumed
with discussion of tentative
budgets. Julian Farrar asked
for approval of budgets in
four categories of welfare
work: aid to the blind, old
age assistance, aid to depend
ent children and aid to dis
abled. The commissioners re
quested a total budget before
approving these four items.
C. P. Gaston, Warren Coun
ty chairman of the Capital
Area Development Associa
tion, requested $300 to pay
Warren County's part of the
budget for the CADA which
includes seven counties.
Dr. Robert F. Young, health
director, read his budget re
quests and was asked to leave
'onies with A. P. Rodwell,
Nfore the next meeting,
lesr M. White, III, wu
.lended as appointee to

Beer licenses were ordered
issued to Maggie G. Lyles
and Phillip G. Holtzman on

R. B. Butler requested that
the State Highway Commis
sion add to the county road
system a road on his prop
erty at Lake Gaston.
A resolution in regard to
improvement on Highway 158
East was adopted. The reso
ution was requested by the

better east-west highway be
built throughout Northeastern
North Carolina.
