I am sure you haye received some In formation on the need for this court and actually what the amendment provides but I thought It would be In the In terest of voters of Warren County to generally outline these points. In the last ten years the number of cases being appeal ed to our Supreme Court has Increased by approximately forty per cent. In 1964, the court heard and rendered over (See AMENDMENT, page 2) MISS Ft'MCE SMILEY Norlina Senior Chosen Queen At Homecoming A pretty Norllna High School senior was chosen homecoming queen last Friday night as the Norllna Blue Wave added frost ing to the cake by downing visit ing Nashville by the score of 45 to 20.

C. Banking Commission ac cording to a Joint announcement by John G. Mitchell, chairman | of the board and Pettway B. Boyd, president.

Mr. and Mrs. BicnaQ Jones | and daughter, am, and Mr. Howard Jones at Creed moor spent the weekend in Ch*rtotts| with Miss Mary Also ToVote On Court Amendment The fate of a $500 million dollar road bond issue and a constitutional amendment will be decided by the voters of coun ty and state on next Tuesday, Nov. 2. The road bond Issue, which had been endorsed by the board of county commissioners, the board of town commissioners and a number of other oreaniza tions of the county, and which has received the endorsement of most county and state offi cials, has little opposition. The only organized opposition to the road bond issue is that of the Ku Klux Klan. \vhos<Tofficers have stated that the Klan Is unwilling to put the state in hock in order to make Gover nor Dan K. Moore?a foe of the Klan?look good The prediction -ii?that the hnnrl issue wil] pass in both county and state by a wide margin provided that there is a large turnout of voters. Proponents of the bond issue point out that the money to be provided by the bond Issue Is badly needed If hlghwavs and streets of the state are to be put In good shape, and that thebond issue would cause no Increase In gasoline taxes. Should thebond issue be pass ed, It is expected that Warren County would be allot ed $765,300 from the fund for road construction. Of this amount Warrenton would receive $44, 100; Norlina, $36,400; Littleton, $40,200, and Macon $7,300. Governor Dan K. Moore has given his full endorsement to the bond Issue and has asked the people to support It, "This bond issue," he said, "Is es sential to the continued indus trial and agricultural growth of North Carolina. Our needs for good roads are growing con stantly, and we cannot afford any undue delay in working to meet these needs." He contin ued. "If the bond Issue Is approv ed, half of the funds will be spent on the primary highway system, $75 million for secon dary roads, and $75 million for parts of the highway system that lies within municipalities. This proposed five-year spending program can be paid for without new taxes, since the state will be able to use the one-cent - per-gallon gasoline tax which has financed the secondary road bond Issue of 1940." The Constitutional amend ment would authorize the es tablishment of an immediate court of appeals. The purpose of the amendment is to lighten the work of the State Supreme Court, and also has the en dorsement of the Warren Coun ty Board of Commissioners as well as that of state officials and Legislative leaders. Lindsay C. Warren, chair man of the State of North Car olina Courts Commission, In a recent news release, pointed out that the State Supreme Court !? o"erworked. 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 Su preme Courts of California, Florida, Louisiana, Mass achusetts, Maryland, Minne sota, New Jersey, Virginia and Washington. The number of opinions, in cluding per curiam*, has been rising steadily over the yearn, Warren said, and in now ly 40% higher than it was years ago. la a growing the work toad is certain to tlnue to increase. The number of written ions, Warren continued, one Indication of the work ot the appellate court. It most important n 9m wn, . MRS. BUTLER. MR.
