FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1965 NUMBER 13 North Warren School Wins Drama Honors The North Warren High School Drama Guild Is headed ] for the State Drama Festival with an A-l rating and the best actress award, G. H. Wash ington, principal of the school, announced yesterday. Washington said that he re cently received a report that the North Warren group had received the highest possible rating in the Eastern North Car olina Association Drama Festi val held at Darden High School, Wilson. Mrs. Mary Lyman, a UNC graduate, English major, and a dramatic actress on the legiti mate stage, was the critic Judge. She commended the entire case for a real dramatic achieve ment. Miss Doris La Verne Smith was named "Best Actress" for her performance as "Betsy Wells'1 in Elizabeth Welch's "Sunday Child," presented by the thesplans. Other characters were por trayed by the following; "Windy," William E. Williams; "Reverend Wells," Benjamin Stewart; "Mrs. Wells," Sarah Rose Terry; "Debbie," Julia Parks; and "Zach," Larry Sledge. Under - studies and stage assistants were Carolyn Fields, Kenneth Hawkins, Veronica Thrower and George Campbell. Washington said a vast range of schools participating In the educational endeavor "lent a contribution to an ideal and conscientious dramatic study of human emotions and relation ships." The North Warren group will appear at Llgion High School in Raleigh on April 2 and 3 to compete for state honors. Use Of Rifles Aired At Hunters Meeting A majority of Warren Coun ty hunters oppose the use of rifles In hunting deer If a vote taken at a meeting here Mon day Is an Indication. Opposo sltlon, however, Is far from un animous. Twenty hunters voted at the meeting held in the Grand Jury room in favor of legislation to ban rifles in deer hunting; 15 voted against. The meeting, which began at 10 o'clock at the call of Rep. W. R. Drake, who presided, lasted until around noon and during thai period a free dis cussion In which a number of those present Joined was held with various views being ex pressed. Drake had called the meeting to ascertain the wishes of his constituents on the is sue. Prominent parts of the dis cussion dealt with the relative safety of rifles and shotguns, with proponents stating that a shotgun loaded - with buckshot was just as deadly as a rifle, and with opponents pointing out that the range of the shotgun Is only 200 yards while the rifle would kill a man or a cow two or more miles. This cow angle is a factor to be reckoned with in the use of the rifle, it was stated, be cause farmers object to the use of rifles for fear of having their cattle killed. This has re sulted In many farmers posting their lands and may result in many others taking similar ac tion. The" real issue, one spokesman said, is not the issue of shotgun or rifle, but the far mer's position in opposing the use of rifles. After a secret vote was taken, Rep. Drake told the group that he wanted further study on the question and suggested that each side select two spokesmen to confer with him and members of the Wildlife Commission in Ral eigh. No action on this pro posal was taken at the meeting.
