Fountain of lh? Second Con gressional District has been called upon by the Warren and Halifax County Boards of Ed ucation to obtain a leeway in the Office of Education's new school desegregation guide lines as they apply to the Littleton High School. Action Wis. taken Monday by the Halifax Board as they joined Warren County in trying to solve the situation at tit le ton. The Littleton School is act ually in Warren County and operates under the Warren school system. For years school students from both Warren and Hali fax Counties have been as signed to the Littleton school. The new guidelines sent out by both county boards last week state that no school dis trict lines may be crossed. This means that those who live on the Halifax County side, some in site of the school, must be transported to other Halifax County scnoois. J. R. Peeler, superintendent of Warren County schools, stated Tuesday afternoon In te lephone conversation that a letter from the Warren Board had already been sent to Con gressman Fountain. A letter from the Halifax Board was prepared Tuesday. The educations boards are asking Rep. Fountain to see if the Office of Education will grant leeway so those Hall fax students in Littleton can attend the school here, if they so choose. Warren County has much the same problem with the effect of the guidelines on the Hallwa School near Hol lister. Children of the Hallwa In dians, who also Uve in Hal ifax County attend the Hal iwa School, which is also lo cated in Warren County. The same guidelines will apply to these students too. A group of the patrons of the Hallwa School appeared before the Halifax Board to protest the fact that they t.oi have a choice since they could not choose their Indian School. These patrons were told that they did Save "freedom of choice" In their Halifax County school district. Peeler said that the Hal lwa School would be closed If they couldn't get an agree ment set to allow students from Halifax County to at tend the school In Warren County. In regards to the situation at both the Littleton and Hal twa Schools, Peeler said, "wo are still trying". School choice forms and explanatory letters were sent to parents of school children In both Warren and Halifax Counties on Friday. The school system-; are be ing desegregated under a plan adopted in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act ol 1964. The purpose of the deseg ? regation plan Is to elimin ate from our school system the racial segregation of stu dents and all other forms of discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. Each student or his par ent, or other adult person act ing as parent, is required to choose the school the student will attend next school year. The choice period began April 1 and will close on April 30. Parents and .students, at their option, were asked to return the completed choice forms by hand to the school or by mail to the Superin tendent's office, at any time during the 30-day choice per iod. No preference will be giv en for choosing early during the choice period. A choice is required for each student. No assignment to a school can be made unless a choice Is made first.

JOHN R. LINK Warrenton Minister Writes Book On Bible The Rev. John R. Link, pas- | tor of the Warrenton Baptist Church, has joined the list of Warren County authors. His book, "You Can Under stand The Bible," will go on sale on April 15. Published by The Judson Press of Valley Forge, the book retails for $4.75. In their Introduction to the volume, the publishers say: "It's true. You can under stand the Bible. But, says this I author, understanding comes not through mere cover-to- I cover reading, however dedi cated and persistent. It comes rather through one's recog ni?ing that the Bible Is a library of many books?and through knowing why and how each of these books came Into being. "Making use of the findings of scholars In a reverent and dedicated spirit, he helps the reader to see each book in terms of who wrote It, under what circumstances, and tor what purpose. The author In cludes a suggested program of Bible reading tor understand ing and enrichment." Mr. Link has been pastor of the Warrenton Baptist Church since 1956. He is a graduate of Wake Forest Col lege and of Crozer Theologi cal Seminary, with additional studies at Duke University. He has taught Bible on both the high school and college level and is the author of numerous articles for re ligious periodicals. In a review of "You Can Understand the Bible," David E. Daniel of Louisburg Col lege says: "At last we have a clearly understandable, reliable source of reference In our reading and studying of the Bible. JOhn Link has given the young student, the serious layman, and the level-headed clergy a much needed tool. The language of this book Is crystal clear to all three. "Mr. Link's approach to the Bible and his suggested study of it Is systematic, scholar ly, and edifying. "After the experience of reading and studying thU book, one will have a clearer and more meaningful understand ing of the Bible." High Cost Cause Of Rejection Warren County will not par ticipate in the foodstanippio gram for the fiscal year 1966 67, the board of county com missioners decided at its regular meeting here Mon day. The commissioners in ren dering their decision said that the food stamp program would cost the county approximately $20,000, compared with the ?300 cost of the present pro gram and would necessitate an increase of nearly 10 cents in the tax rate. During the discussion of the stamp program, it was point ed out that funds would have to be set up in the next budget if the county intended to par ticipate in the food stamppro gram and in addition a pro per application would have to be filed to ascertain If it is possible to get under the pro gram during the next fiscal year. It was pointed out that the commissioners had pre viously been advised that the Federal Government had no more available funds for the food stamp program the last time this matter came before the board. The commissi :nor.g^4a#ii. discussed the cost to the coun ty of participating In the food stamp program. It was point ed out that Halifax County was participating in the pro gram, and that the budget of Halifax County for the 1965 66 fiscal year was $16,000 local funds for the program for serving 830 families and paying five employees. Based on these figures the board found that the cost to Warren County for the stamp program would be approxi mately $20,000 per year if the county had the same num ber of families as presently being served under the sur plus commodity program. It was pointed out that this pro gram was a year-round pro gram and that the tax would have to be raised by approxi mately 9 3/4 cents if the county participated In the stamp program for the next fiscal year. It was then determined from the auditor that the existing food distribution program cost the county $308.58 during the past fiscal year, in view of the fact that the food stamp program would cost the coun ty an additional $19,^00 over the existing program to serve the same number of families now served, it was generally agreed that the general public would not want a 9 3/4 cents tax rate increase In order for the county to participate in the program . It was then pointed out that only a small percent of the people had In dicated a desire to parti cipate in the food stamp pro gram. On motion of Commis sioner Richard R. Davis, sec onded by Commissioner John Wilson and unanimously car ried, the following resolution was adopted: "Be It resolved by the Board of Commissioners of Warren County that the county not participate In the food stamp program for the fiscal year 1966-67 for the reason that said program would cost Warren County approximately $19,700 to serve the same number of families and would necessitate a tax rate increase of about 9 3/4 cents, and that the present program costs Warren County only approxi mately $308. N per fiscal year." The commissioners also expressed the view that War ren County Is better served by the preemt four-months program, and that a round program would in the interest <* J|?j
