FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1963 NUMBER 20 Warren County Wheat Growers Vote May 211 Warren County wheat grow ers will vote in the national wheat referendum on Tues day, May 21. Polls will open at the various polling places in the county at 6 a. m. and close at 6 p. m. Thomas Watson, ASCS of fice manager, said yesterday that his office was gratified at the large number of wheat growers who have signified their intentions to vote in the referendum and to abide by its results. Watson listed polling places as follows: Fishing Creek ? Pittman's Store and Davis' Store at Areola. Fork?W. K. Thompson's Store. Hawtree?Perkinson's Store Judkins?Triangle Service Station and Mrs. Blanche Stallings Store. Nutbush?J C. Watkins' Store. River?Salmon's Store. Roanoke?Jones' Store. Sandy Creek ? Aycock's Store and Ayscue's Store. Sixpound?Mrs. Edna Har ris' Station and Edmonds' Store. Smith Creek?Mayor's Of fice in Norlina and Paynter's Store. Warrenton ? Agricultural Building. Shocco?Pinnell's Store. A. P. Hassell, Jr., executive director of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation State Committee, in urging wheat growers to vote, said that the referendum on May 21 could affect future legis lation on all farm programs. The attitude of congressional leaders and the entire nation toward supply management programs is at stake, Hassell added. The ASCS official said a favorable vote would indicate that farmers are willing to keep production in line with needs in return for a guaran teed price support. An unfavorable vote, he added, would indicate that farmers want to control on production, and that they are willing to sell their wheat at the going market price. Hassell believes some con gressmen think of the "farm Program" in general. They do not think in terms of the successful programs such as the agricultural conservation program, tobacco program, peanut or cotton programs. "An unfavorable vote would mean to these congressmen that farmers are opposed to all programs," Hassell added. Again, the ASCS official urged farmers to get all the facts and to vote on May 21.

Faulk Alston at the first Monday meeting of the Board of County Commission ers Wednesday this week brought forth an answer from the Warren County Welfare Board. The Board, while not men tioning Alston by name, said that "a citizen of this coun ty launched a vitriolic attack upon the Welfare Depart ment, particularly singling out the local Superintendent in his remarks." The board members said that they re affirm their faith in the local superintendent and the working of the local Depart ment of Public Welfare. Alston had not only charg ed poor handling of the wcl frre program and suggested that Farrar be fired, but had charged that one person on the relief rolls?whom he named?owned a television set and had taken a trip to California?"it was intimated at Welfare expense." "This recipient did not own a tele vision set and did not take a trip to California at Welfare expense," the board members said in their ieply. Also coming in for criti cism was The Warren Record for its report of Alston's re marks. In their signed state ment the Welfare Board members said that "We do not believe that unfounded, libelous, uncorrobrated charges should be given any credence, and that giving front page coverage to same constitutes a very low form of journalism." The article in full follows: A few days ago at a meet ing of the Warren County Commissioners a citizen of this county launched a vitrio lic attack on the local Wel fare Department, particularly singling out the local Super intendent in his remarks. We the undersigned members of the local Welfare Board wish to take this opportunity to reaffirm our faith in the local Superintendent and the work ings of the local Department of Public Welfare. We realize that in any agency of this type there are apt to be certain abuses, but we do not believe that un founded, libelous, uncorrobo rated charges should be given (See WELFARE, page 4) KENNETH H.

(See BRINSON, page 4) Action On School Budget Is Postponed Official action on the War ren County school budget for 1963-64 was postponed until a later meeting by the Board of Education in session hers on Monday night. Supt. Roger Peeler told the board members that he felt that no official action can be taken on the school budget for the next fiscal year until some idea is ob tained of what the Legisla ture is going to do. He suggested that the next board meeting be held on Wednes day, May 29, at 8 p. m., to reviews bida on the new schools and at that time con sider a budget for next year. The board approved the rec ommendation. It had been previously an nounced that May 29 would be the date for receiving bids on the South Warren Elementary School and the Northside addition. Following a discussion on popils in the Norllna school district being transported to the Middleburg school from the Drewry section of county, the board that all Wamn County dent* in the district be .as signed to the Vance school author 4? tus ? af a assignment of pupils were ap proved. The board confirmed the sale of the Snow Hill school to A. J. Ellington for $1100. Supt. Peeler told the board that he had been informed by Supt. Henry Overman of Hali fax County that the Halifax County Board of Education will not include in its 1963 64 capital outlay budget any funds for the construction of a new Hallwa school. Peeler said that since this ac tion delay* the building of a new school for two or possi bly three years, it seems that consideration should be given to the use of part or all of the >79,000 which is being held for the Hallwa school, for construction of new class room* at the North Warren and Hawkins High Schools. He *aid both the Negro high schools will be in desperate need of additional classrooms next year.

Payments Over $1,000,000 Social Security payments in Warren County now total more than $1,000,000 a year. Monthly old-age, survivors, and disability insurance bene fits in Warren County now, top $86,078, John Ingle, Dis trict manager of social se curity in Raleigh, said this: week on releasing his annual county benefit data report. Ingle noted that as of De cember 31, 1962, some 1900 Warren County citizens were collecting about $1,032,936 annual from social security, an increase of nine per cent over 19 1 Month benefits. Ingle said, first became payable in Jan uary 1940, and they have continued without interrup tion for 23 years, accompa nied by a steady growth in the number of beneficiaries In Warren County the new Davis Permitted To Construct Building The State Insurance Com missioner Wednesday ruled that Mr. and Mrs. J. Boyd ; Davis of Warrenton would be permitted to restore a part of the old Norwood House j next to their residence on West Macon Street. Plans to make a storey and a half building out of part of the building left standing in the removal of its major portion, call for a fireproof hipped roof, Mrs. Davis told the town commissioners Mon day night. The building had been con-1 demned by the town and or dered torn down by the town authorities several months ago. Plans to restore a greater part of the building failed to obtain the permis sion of town commissioners and, upon appeal, of the State Insurance Commissioner. Mrs. Davis appeared before the town commissioners Monday night with plans for restoring only a small part of the building. She was told the board had no authority to grant her request, although they expressed sympathy for her plans. The matter rests with the building inspector, Harold Skillman, she was told. Skillman said that under the law he was forbidden to grant a permit for the build ing, but that the State Insur ance Commissioner had the final authority. He said that he would be glad to contact him. The commissioners, upon motion of Commissioner Fred Hurst, seconded by Commis sioner Thomas Gaskill and unanimously adopted, request ed Skillman to contact the Insurance Commissioner. Skillman and Mrs. Davis ./ent to Balei^b Wednesday morning where the Commis sioner granted permission for the remodeling of the build ing Tie held, Skillman said, that the destruction of the major part of the building had removed its proximity to other buildings to the point where he felt that it did not create a fire hazard. His only restriction was that the build ing may not be used for business purposes. Mrs. Davis accompanied by Mrs. Margaret Williams and A1 Williams, building supply manager, was one of three delegations appearing before the board. Jimmy Roberts and A. A. Wood appeared before the board in the inter est of the Warrenton Rural Fire Department; and Mrs. Shipp McCarroll, Mrs. J. Boyd Davis, and Mrs. Clyde Rodwell were before the board in the interest of plans to beautify the town. Mayor W. A. Miles and a full board were present for the meeting as were Harold Skillman, superintendent of the Water Department, R. D Cbewning, Police Chief, and Attorney Charles Johnson. Fire Chief Jimmy Roberts, speaking for his committee, thanked the commissioners for the help given the War renton Rural Fire Department and asked for additional funds if the board could see its way to increase its an nual donation. Chief Roberts pointed out that the county is largely covered by engines and tankers, and that he is of the opinion that within a reasonably short time all sec tions of the county would have units of the Rural Fire Department.

"There is no longer any doubt Social security bene fits are helping to stabilize the income and spending power of many residents: in Warren County."
