ull|p Uarrett fiernrb Published Every Friday By The Record Printing Company BIGNALL JONES. Editor ? DUKE JONES, Business Manager 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 W. I Wnnrl One of the most outstanding characteristics of Willard Lloyd Wood, known to thousands as Hick ory Wood, was his loyalty to his friends, to his church and to his town. For a quart er of a century he operated a store in downtown War renton where he made new friends and cemented ties with those of many years standing. One knowing this man through the years was struck not so much by the number of his friends but the sense of loyalty he manifested to those to whom he had given hfs friendship. Mr. Wood had a strong liking for young people and this liking found expression in his support of the athletic programs of the John Gra lam High School as well as the time le was always willing to take up with children. There was no more active member of the John Graham High School Boosters Club. He could always be counted upon to attend the ?neetings of the club, where plans vere made, and few members could exceed him in the number of tick ets he sold each year. For 14 years he served as a town :ommissioner. His energy found ex iression in his work on the import int street committee and he hand ed many difficult situations arisine out of clashes of Interest with fair ness and with dispatch. His first loyalty was to his tow.n and no one can recall where he put his own gain above that of his town and its citizens. Mr. Wood was for many years a member of the American Legion and his loyalty and his energy was well known and was rewarded by appointment as a district command er. He was faithful to his obliga tions as a member of the Baptist Church and for years he served as a deacon of his church. The same trait was found in his fraternal obligations and he worked loyally with the local Masonic Lodge and became a member of the Shrine. Mr. Wood was never content to give only lip service to the things in which he believed, but could al ways be counted upon to carry his fair share of the load of the or ganizations of which he became a part. Sometimes he was outspoken, sometimes he was wrong in his judgment, human and understandable faults, but he harbored no grudges suid he was willing to listen. He did he right as God gave him to see he right and the contributions he nade to his town and his fellow nan will long be remembered. Educational Programs Coming in late from si meeting of the Board of Education Monday night, we tuned in on TV Channel 4 where a panel discussion of the Ku Klux Klan was in progress with Congress man Charles Weltner of Georgia, head of a Congressional committee investigating the Klan, Floyd McKis sick, board chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality (Core), L. P. McLendon, Greensboro attor ney, and Pete Young, Raleigh TV newsman, serving as panelists. Weltner and McLendon wereanti Klan, Young, pro-Klan, and McKis sick in a neutral role. After the discussion each of the panelists answered questions directed from the floor. It was an interesting ?discussion and was informative re gardless of the way one's sympa thies may lie. We mention this because it is just an example of the varied type pro grams that may be heard over an educational TV channel such as Channel 4, originated at the Uni versity of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Raleigh and Greensboro. One can hear and see panel discussions, debates, concerts, stage shows, Quotes Man hare mora problems than women. In the first place, they have to put up with women.?Francolae Sag an.

If a second marriage Is the trtwnph of Imp* over experience, a third marriage must certainly be the victory ot madness over news, history, geography, physics, instruction in mathematics, athle tic contests as they involve the University, and a great many other fine programs. The surprising thing to us, in view of the widespread criticism of TV fare served by many of the commercial stations, is the small number of local persons who tune in on Channel 4 where high type, edu cantional programs are the rule. It could be in part due to lip ser vice paid to culture and education, but it may be in some part to an unawareness of the programs of fered. Our comments are directed at correcting this latter reason. NEWS OF FIVE, TEN. 25 YEARS AGO Looking Backward Into The Record December 16, 1960 Norltna Is to have a new pc '.office with construction expected to start eirly In 1961. Warren County schools will close for the unrisimas noiiaays on December 21. Commissioner H. W. Holt has been ap pointed chairman of the Water Committee of the Town of Warrenton. Vesper services of Christmas music will be held at the Warrenton Baptist Church on Sun day afternoon. December 16, 1955 Announcement that a sportswear factory will be erected at Warrenton in the spring was made yesterday by the Bute Development Company. Governor Luther Hodges has agreed to provide funds for a bridge across the Roa noke River in Warren County. BUI Sharpe, editor of The State Magazine, was a visitor in Warrenton on Wednesday afternoon. John Graham will play its first basket ball game of the season Friday night when it hosts Ay cock in a double-header. December 13, 1940 Ma)or Claude Bowers said yesterday that about 90 per cent of the Warren County guardsmen in camp are expected to leave on December 21 to spend Christmas at their homes. The Warrenton Jaycees plan to give away an automobile in a drawning here on Christ mas Eve. Around $25,000 In Christmas savings was released Monday by the Warrenton Bull ding Robert Scott, deputy Register of Deeds, has been appointed a magistrate by Governor ?,4 i nt tiakh Letter To The Editor To The Editor: I noted and read with muck Interest your editorial concern ing the study of the University trustees with your reprint of the article In The Chapel Hill Week ly which gave pertinent reasons why such a great Institution should not be subjected to poli tical back-scratching and made the pawn erf any political power structure. It Is hoped that the Hodges commission will come up with a solution that will cor rect this state of affairs. The lights that have shown from the halls of this, our own, great university transcends and should blot out any effort to make It a political plum. The candlepower of these lights came from men like Presidents Battle and Graham, Drs. Henderson, MacNlder, Williams, Rosenan?to mention only a few. The administrative policies of Presidents Battle and Graham brought on Pheno minal growth and development without forsaking high stand ards. Few universities harbor ed the peers of Archibald Hen derson and DeBernier Mac Nlder. In the field of mathe matics Dr. Henderson was one of the first, if not the first, mathematicians in this country who explained Einstein's theory of relativity. His avocation was history and biography. He was the only man in this coun try that George Bernard Shaw would authorize to write his biography. In the field of physiology Dr. MacNider's stature places him alongside such men as Claude Barnard and Grown-Se quard. During his tenure he probably did more work on the functions and mal-functions of the kidney ana liver than any man in this country. Dr. Milton Rosenan was to preventive medicine as Sir Wil liam Osier was to the theory and practice of curative medicine. If I remember my reading correctly, Dr. Williams was famous for his clarity in teach ing. Let us hope that the succes sors of these great men will be able to carry on their last ing work. NATHAN P.
