ultfp Warren ffirrnrii Published Every Friday By The Record Printing Company BIGNALL JONES. Editor ? DUKE JONES, Business Manage? Member North Carolina Press Association ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN WARRENTON. NORTH CAROLINA, UNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS "Second Class Postage Paid At Warrenton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year. $3.00; Six Months, $1.50 A Tribute To Sam Allen We hope that it will be many years before this newspaper pays a final tribute to Sam E. Allen, who will resign as Register of Deeds of Warren County on July 6. But meanwhile we would like to eulogize the life of this fine gentleman who for nearly 33 years has so well and so diligently served the people of Warren County. The dinner in Mr. Allen's honor Monday "by court house officials and members of the Bar was a heart warming affair in which a few of his friends paid well earned tribute and many others testified to their admiration and devotion to him by their presence. It was an honor to be included among that group on that occasion of warm fellowship. General Lee is quoted as saying that Duty is the sublimest word in the English language. This was often quoted to the editor by his father who loved General Lee's memory with the same devotion always en tertained for him by Mr. Allen. We seriously question that Mr. Allen ever thought of meeting the respon sibillties of his office as a duty; he instinctively met his responsi bilities as a public office holder and as a private citizen in the manner of the great Lee. Our contacts with Mr. Allen dur ing the time he has served as Regis ter of Deeds have been many. We have ever met with unfailing courtesy, friendly cooperation and kindness from this good man. Any differences have been amicable. The editor is happy that Mr. Allen was his friend before he entered public office and that he leaves office as his friend in spite of many short comings 'of the editor which must have often been manifested in an almost daily contact. Even an editor, who must live by words, often find words inadequate to express deep feelings. Such is now the case with one who is un willing to see a man of Mr. Allen's calibre leaving public life witnout some expression in this newspaper of his service and of his character. We can only wish him many happy years in his retirement, and say with thousands of other citizens of this county, without regard to color, race or creed, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." Leadership Should Lead The Smithfield Herald Governor Moore's treatment of the Speak er Ban issue surprises no one who under stands the current political situation in North Carolina, but It is nevertheless disappointing. The Governor got rid of a hot potato by proposing that the Legislature authorize a study commission to examine the Speaker Ban Law instead-of attempting to amend or repeal it. A careful study will be much more than what the law received before its hurried passage without debate at the close of the 1963 session of the Legislature, but the urgent need is not appointment of a study commission. ' The urgent need Is political leadership that will tell the people repeatedly andforth rlghtly that the Speaker Ban Law is not a pro-Communist law but a pro-democracy law. This law Is not needed to protect us from college or university leaders who seek to promote Communism on the campuses. We have no such leaders In North Caro lina's higher education, It is rather a law which stifles freedom of Inquiry and thus runs against the grain of the purposes of true education. It is a law which imitates the thought-control methods of Communism. Many well-meaning North Carolinians do not understand these things. They have mis conceptions about the nature and workings of democracy. They are confused over the nature and workings of the educational pro To Sponsors The Philadelphia Bulletin A calm - and potentially deadly - ap proach to the problem of unwholesome tele vision fare has been suggested by the editor of the PTA Magazine, Mrs. Herman Grant, of Chicago. Not at all prlggishly, she accepts as a fact of life that sponsors must seek the dol lar, and also that sex is fair as a basic ingredient of drama. But, she explained in an interview at the National Convention of PTA at Albuquerque, this acceptance does not extend to dramas which do not extend not extend to dramas which do not "Illumi nate" the problems - specifically such as "Peyton Place" - that strange town in which practically every inhabitant has "a sordid past, an equivocal present and a fearful future." Starting In September, the PTA Magazine wiii make a point of listing sponsors of TV programs; readers will be urged to write directly expressing their opinions. This seems fair enough. The sponsors of a wide variety of claptrap would be well advlaed to read their mall, along with their cherished ratings.

Popular misconceptions should be cor rected by political leadership, not followed. Governor Moore Is Intelligent. On more than one occasion, he has indicated his aware ness of the weaknesses of the Speaker Ban Law. Some North Carolinians dared to hope that the Governor, who commands wide public respect, would emerge as a statesman by going before the people and explaining to them how the Speaker Ban Law Is out of harmony with American principles of freedom and democracy which our nation has de fended on fields of battle. The Governor could have helped to mold a sound public opinion, but he preferred to give in to a public opinion that Is more emotional than reasonable.

There seems little doubt that this week will ring down the curtain on; tht 1965 General Assembly Ses sion. Probably the only doubt hinges upon further controversy over the "Communist Speaker Ban Law" and whether any pro posal is offered to amend or repeal the law. Governor Moore has pretty well scotched this possibility by his suggestion that the matter be referred to a Study Commission. If thU course is followed, and It prob ably will be, the question then becomes whether a special ses slon will be called to deal with the subject. Frankly, it would appear that the people who want the law abolished are using pretty much the ^ame tactics a3 were used by sponsors of the measure when It was rushed through during the closing days of the 1963 session. I fully good Judgment will prevail in the end. History was uts/i" list when on Wednesday, and within a period of three hours, the gen eral appropriations and capital improvements budget bills were considered and passed by both houses of the legislature. His tory was also made in the size of the budget since it Is North Carolina's first $2 Bllllon-plus biennial appropriation. It In cluded a 10% pay raise for State employees who came un der the Personnel Act plus a salary Increase for teachers amounting to .05% for each of the next two years. It also included an Increase of $22 million for capital improve ments. The most significant increase in funds for Educa tion was in the form of reduc tion of class size in the first three grades. These are con sidered to be the most formative years of Elementary Education and it is imDortant that the Allen (continued from page 1) presented a gift wrapped package to Mr. Allen, which he later opened. It contained a frypar. The dinner was a complete surprise to Mr. Allen and the commissioners have for years been talcing turns in al phabetical order as hosts for the commissioners' first Mon day dinners. Just before the group left for the Inn, Mr. Allen Insisted that It was his time to pay for the dinner. Mr. Allen was appointed by the commissioners on Sep tember 22, 1937, to fill the unexpired term of the late Joseph Cook Powell. In 1940 he stood for election for a four year term for the first time. This time he found four other candidates seeking the office. He beat them all In the first primary. Usually he was with out opposition as he sought ?lection. One ? or twice he had taken resistance, but this never developed Into a serious race. It was the consensus of the board Monday that the people of Warren County would keep Mr. Allen as their Register of Deeds Just as long as he want ed to serve.

R. DRAKE 01 WARREN COUNTY teacher load be reduced In this area as a first step toward reducing class size throughout the entire elementary school. Commenting on the work of this Legislature In general and with particular reference to Education, Governor Moore said In a recent speech: "They have done their Job well. They have fulfilled their responsi bilities as representatives of the people and they have ful filled their responsibilities to the State. They have done more for Education in North caroling than any General Assembly in our history." This certainly is a fine compliment to us and may be a bit flattering. How ever, there is still much that needs to be done and I hope the economy of this great State will continue to afford edu catlonal advancement. 1 On Fridpv of last week, s total of 96 bills were on the House Calendar for _:tion and about 75 of them were dis posed of In a session lasting from 11:00 a-m. to 3:45 p.m. Despite the ongoing rush to adjournment, new bills con tinued to pour Into the hopper in quantity - 136 altogether last week.
