Mrs. John Mitchell, a mem
ber of the Planning Board, told
the members that she had talk
ed to Kenneth Brlnson, princi
pal of the John Graham School,
and with J. Roger Peeler, su
perintendent of Warren County
schools, relative to plantings

A new labor survey will be
conducted In the Littleton area
following announcement last
Friday by Dennis Rose, pres
ident of the Littleton Develop
ment Company, that Littleton Is
being seriously considered by a
plastic Industry for location of
a new plant in the Littleton De
velopment Company building.
Rose said that this company
would offer employment to a
substantial number of people
and needs to be assured that
an ample supply of labor Is
available from which to choose.
In view of this situation, Rose
said, and because the existing
labor information is over three
years old, a new labor survey
is to be conducted immediately
through the school system and
by having survey forms avail
able In banks, postoffices and
other public places.
Rose said this Information is
needed by November 1 so all
possible efforts will be put
forward to complete the sur
vey. Me said that favorable
results In the survey would
not necessarily guarantee the
location of this new Industry,
but would go a long way toward
Insuring a favorable decision.
Unskilled as well as skilled
labor would be employed, Rose
said.
Application blanks are avail
able at all stores In Warren
ton, Littleton, Norllna and Ma
con and from Hall Brooks at
the ESC Office In Henderson.
