Sportswear
Factory Is
Expanding
Work on a 40,000-foot ex
pansion of the Carolina
Sportswear factory Is now un
derway.
Held up by the recent snow
and freezing weather, con
struction was started last
weekend, and the first blocks
were laid the first of this
week. Target date for comple
tion Is next May. G. W. Kenne
Inc., of Henderson is the con
tractor.
The addition to the build
ing, located on the Warren
ton-Norllna Highway near
War rent on, will provide space
for around 100 additional
workers, John Andrews,
manager of the plant, said.
350 persons, he said.
Carolina Sportswear Fac
tory, a subsidiary of Campus
Sportswear Company, began
business at Warrenton in 1956.
Branch factories are also
operated at Louisburg and La
crosse, Va.
Originally planned to em
ploy around 150persons, Car

Bird Hunters
To Get Extra Days
Tar Heel bird hunters will
be given an extra ten days
of shooting, including two Sat
urdays. No extension will be
given for rabbit shooting.
Alton D. Prldgen, wild
life protector for Warren
County, said this week that the
Wildlife Resources Commls
V/ sion has extended the season
on bob white quail from Tues
day, Psb W, throng* Saturday
Feb. *?.
The commission's action
VM taken after a survey by
? field personnel disclosed that
there is a harvestable supply
of bird* still available, and
an ?tended?hunting season
would not endanger brood
stock for producing next fall's
crop of birds.
Prldgen said that the com
mission gave some consider
ation to extending the rabbit
season, but decided against
this because rabbits have al
ready begun their breeding
cycle.
Bag limits and other regu
lations for taking quail during
the ten-day extension will be
the same as during the sea
son that would have ended Feb.
15.

Machinery
Purchases
Planned
A sewing plant is expect
ed to begin operation In Nor
llna during the month of
| March.
Mrs. Peggy Webber of Long
Island, N. Y., who will manage
the plant, said Tuesday thai
all papers have been signed
between Bute Development Co.
and Warren Industries, and
that she would leave Norllna
during the weekend for New
York where she plans to buy
machinery for the plant, either
there, In Philadelphia or pos
sibly Atlanta.
She said that It Is expect
ed that the plant would begin
operation as a pilot plant
sometimes during March. She
would not set a definite date,
but said that the term "in
March" was used to cover
any delays that might arise.
The plant will make ladles'
dresses, mostly knit fabric,
of a better grade on contract.
It will be strictly a sewing
operation, she said, with the
finished products being de
livered on hangers to the con
tractors. Fabrics will arrive
at the Norllna plant already
pre-cut.
The plant will be located
in the Randolph Rooker build
ing Just off Highway 1 In
Norllna. The building has been
-renovated, air conditioned and
Is ready for the Installation
of the machinery.
Mrs. Webber said that
around 100 persons have ap
plied for work in the factory.
The state will assist In the
training of as many of these
as can be used, under a state
training program. Workers
will be paid during the train
ing period.
Within six months, Mrs.
Webber said, the factory
should be employing 50 work
ers and within two years
should be employing as many
as 150 persons, practically
all of whom will be woman.
Like other Industries In the
county, the new plant will be
fully Integrated.

Make-Up Dates For Lost School
Time Set By Education Board
Warren County school
children will have their Ea??
ter holidays curtailed and will
also attend school on Satur
days In order to make uptime

dents, to be financed by the

as to whether or not the work

ed with social security, with
the school paying put of this
cost. Members said they fa
vored the program If it would
not cost the county any money.
Supt. J. R. Peeler will Investi
gate the cost angle before any
action is taken by the board.
