Women's Auxiliary Makes Gift
To Warren General Hosoital
The Warren General Hospital
Women's Auxiliary presented
two Building and Loan certi
ficates representing over $1600
In value to the hospital, Dave
Richards, hospital administra
tor, announced yesterday.
This money was accumulat
ed by the Auxiliary by sell
ing candy and other sundries
In the hospital's Hospitality
Shop.
In addition during the past
few weeks the Auxiliary pre
sented the hospital with new
?'-apes to be hung in the front
entrance-way. Miss Emily Bal
linger, Warren County Home
Demonstration Agent, and Ed
ward Rlggan of Warrenton hung
these drapes with a new cornice.
Presenting the certificates to
Richards were Mrs. Roger
Limer, president of the Auxi
liary; Mrs. R. B. Butler, treas
urer; and Miss Balllnger.
"These gifts were received
in a time of extreme need,"
Richards said. "Our present
financial position is terrible.
The hospital needs equipment
and supplies and we can Just
collect enough money from our
patients to meet salary
demands. These gifts lifted our
morale at the hospital, and gave
us the strength to renew the
struggle to hold the hospital
open.
"These ladles and the others
from whom we have received
contributions In the past few
months probably never realize
to a full extent how much good
they really do. My sincere
thanks to all of them."
Wheat Signup Ends October 2
The 1965 Wheat Diversion
program now going on In the
ASC office will continue through
* Oct. 2, T. E. Watson, office
manager, said yesterday.
Watson said he would like to
encourage each person who re
ceived a 1965 wheat allotment
to visit the ASCS office and
find out about his particular
farm. He added that some of
the most Important phases of
the 1965 wheat diversion pro
gram are as follows:
(1) A participant must di
vert an acreage of land equal
to 11.11 percent of his 1965
wheat allotment, which Is re
ferred to as mandatory diver
sion.
(2) In addition to the manda
tory diversion, apartlclpant can
divert up to 15.0 acres (In
cluding the mandatory diver
sion) according to what his
1965 wheat allotment Is. Any
one with a 1965 allotment of
13.5 acres or less can divert
the entire allotment If he does
not want to plant any wheat for
the 1965 crop year.
(3) A participant can divert
the mandatory, diversion and
plant his entire 1965 wheat al
lotment. Under this case, a
diversion payment will not be
made, but certificates will be
paid on the amount of wheat
planted. These certificates are
figured on 80 percent of the
planted times the normal yield
set up for the farm. The first
45 percent Is domestic alloca
tion which Is 75 cents per
bushel, the remaining 35 per
cent Is export allocation which
Is 30 cents per bushel.
(4) A participant may with
draw from the program at any
time and he will have until the
end of the feed grain signup
next spring to revise his In
tentions.
Every wheal grower with an
allotment for 1965 should come
to the county office and find
out more about the program
before October 2, Watson said.

Mlncher of Littleton, and Mar
vin Newaom, in, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Marvin Newaom of Lit

Mrs. Flshel said the Warren
students became seml-flnallsts
through their outstanding per
formance on the National Merit
Scholarship Qualifying Test,
lids teat of educational de
velopment, she said, was givan
In more than 11,000 high schools
Inst March.
They are among 14,000 sen
iors throughout the country who
attained Semlftnallst status.
The flsatflnallst group is ootn
posed of the highest scoring
students In each state and In
United States territories. Each
Semlflnallst now moves a step
closer to winning a four-year
Merit Scholarship to the college
of his choice. Semlflnallsts
must substantiate their qualify
ing test performance on a sec
ond examination, be endorsed
by their schools, and fulfill
certain routine requirements to
become Finalists. All Merit
Scholars are selected from the
Finalist group.
"Semlflnallsts are represen
tative of our country's most
Intellectually able young peo
ple," said John M. Stalnaker,
president of the National Merit
Scholarship Corporation.
"They possess the talents
and qualities necessary for
leadership In the future. They
are resourceful, hard-working,
and ambitious.
"In honoring them for their
attainments, we should recog
nise also that others have con
tributed significantly to their
success by encouraging the
characteristics which produce
high achievement. The Semi
final! sts thus bring honor not
only to themselves, but also to
their families, their teachers,
and their communities."
To Increase their opportuni
ties to obtain financial assis
tance If they need It, the Merit
Corporation sends the names
of Semlflnallsts to all regional
ly accredited colleges and uni
versities and to other scholar
ship-granting agencies and
financial aid from sources other
than the Merit Program.
In past years, about 98 per
cent of the Semlflnall sts have
become Finalists. AH Finalists
receive a Certificate of Merit
In recognition of their outstand
ing performance In the pro
gram. As Finalists, the students
will be eligible for scholar
ship awards sponsored by NMSC
