its worst defeat In years at
the hands of Weldon, looked good
last Friday night as they play
ed a strong Oxford Orphanage
team to a 13-13 tie.

Food Stamp Plan Is Not
Available For The County
Board
Endorses
Amendment
The Warren County Board of
Commissioners Monday en
dorsed an amendment to the
State Constitution authorizing
the establishment of an Immed
iate court of appeals. The vot
ers will decide the fate of the
amendment at the Nov. 2 Gen
eral Election.
Also to be decided at the
General Election will be the
fate of a $300,000 road bond
Issue which the commission
ers endorsed at their Septem
ber meeting. At the meeting
Monday the commissioners re
iterated their support of the
bono Issue.
The purpose of the amend
ment authorizing the establish
ment of an intermediate court
of appeals Is to lighten the work
of the State Supreme Court.
Lindsay C. Warren, chairman
of the State of North Carolina
Courts Commission, this week
pointed out In a news release
that the State Supreme Court
Is overworked. He said that In
the fiscal year 1964 the Supreme
Court prepared 419 full written
opinions (Including 142 curiam
opinions). This exceeded the
number prepared by the
Supreme Courts of California,
Florida, Louisiana, Mass
achusetts, Maryland, Minne
sota, New Jersey, Virginia and
Washington.
The number of opinions, in
cluding per curlams, has been
rising steadily over the years,
Warren said, and Is now near
ly 40% higher than It was ten
years ago. In a growing state
the work load Is certain to con
tinue increasing.
The number of written opin
ions, Warren continued, Is only
one indication of the work load
of an appellate court. It Is the
most Important indication, how
ever, since many hours of study,
argument and research precede
the writing of each opinion.
Warren said that the heavy
burden of cases In our Supreme
Court results from our law
with restriction, from any
Judgment or final order or de
cision of the Superior Court.
No matter how routine the case,
or how small the sum of money
Involved, the losing party in the
Superior Court may always ap
peal to the Supreme Court and
obtain another hearing.
BREAKS ARM
Bill Mlnette, director of the
Warren County Industrial Com
mission, broke his left arm
Saturday when his horse fell
with him.
Warren County will not be
able to distribute surplus food
committees under the food
stamp plan during 1965-66,
Julian Farrar, welfare super
intendent, told the board of
county commissioners Monday.
He said the county was not ap
proved for this plan.
Distribution of free food to
I the poor of the county this past
winter raised the protest of
many merchants who said It
badly hurt their business. Sev
eral months ago the welfare
superintendent was asked to
Investigate the possibility of the
stamp plan for Warren County.
Whether or not surplus com
modities will again be distri
buted In the' county this winter
has not been determined. The
commissioners took no action
on the matter at their Monday
session, although Chairman
Amos L. Capps commentedfol
lowlng Farrar's report that
what he had learned of the ex
periences of other countleswlth
the stamp plan would have made
him very reluctant to adopt this.
This statement was concurred
In by one or more of the com
missioners.
Monday was a relatively quiet
day with the commissioners,
although It turned out to be a
day for adopting resolutions.
The board, which had previous
ly approved the passage of a
$300,000,000 state bond Issue,
adopted an official resolution of
endorsement. The board also
passed resolutions endorsing
the establishment of an Immedi
ate court of appeals, asklngper
mlsslon to fish from the Eaton
Ferry bridge and other bridges
across Gaston Lake, to set a
35 mph speed limit from the
corporate limits of Norllna on
highway 401 to where it inter
sects with highway 1.
The resolution endorsing the
road bond Issue reads as fol
lows:
Whereas, theGeneral Assem
bly has authorized a $300 mil
lion state road bond Issue, sub
ject to the approval of the vot
ers on November 2, 1965, and
Whereas, construction of new
and Improved primary, urban,
and secondary roads and high
ways Is vital to the economy
of the state, and
Whereas, the people of War
ren County will benefit farm
projects financed by this road
bond Issue, and
Whereas, the proposed bond
Issue will be financed without
any Increase in taxes, now,
therefore.
Be It resolved, by the board
of county commissioners of
Warren County, that the $300
million state road bond Issue Is
hereby endorsed, and
Be It further resolved, that
the voters of Warren County are
hereby urged to work for, sup
port and vote for the state road
bonds at the General Election
of November 2, 1965.
The board ordered that the
bond of the late Joe N. Ellis,
Clark of Superior Court, be
cancelled as of Nov. 2, 1964,
which was the date of the audit
of his books.
The State Highway Commis
sion was requested to add to
Warren County's road system
that road known as the "Mark
Russell Road" In Smith Creek
Township near Rldgeway, adls
tance of about half a mile.
The board votqd to accept the
tax set^ement of the auditors
with A. P. HOflweU, jr., coun
ty tax collector. The audit show
ed that the tax collected had
been charged with $418,155.74
In the 1964-65 tax levy. He
was credited with cash remit
tances of $389,320.10; penal
ties collected $1,180.50, adver
tising collected $140, and re
leases $1,254.22, leaving abal
ance of uncollected taxes of
$26,260.92.
Julian W. Farrar, welfare
superintendent, requested the
board to employ a female aid
to accompany sheriff's deputies
to mental Institutions when they
were carrying female patients.
He said he recommended this
at the request of the Sheriff
as a protection for both the
patient and the duputy. The cost
was expected to be small, but
the commissioners held that
since a member of the patient's
family accompanied the patient
to the -mental Institutions that
the employment of an aid was
unnecessary.
A. P. Rodwell, jr., tax col
lector, reported $45,707.58
taxes collected during the month
of September.
J. H. Hundley, Register of
Deeds, reported 118 marriage
licenses Issued for the quar
ter ending Sept. 30, 1965 for
which $590.00 was turned Into
the general fund.

pervisor J. H. Beddlngfleld ap
