STATE CHOIR FESTIVAL The junior Choir at the Warrenton Baptist Churoh will participate in the State Choir Festival at Wake Forest Southern Seminary on Sat urday morning, April It. Iri-County Forum To Be Held At Hawkins School Lunchroom To Be Built At Vaughan Rep ? - jntain Issues Guidelines Statement Rep. L. H. Fountain (D-2nd District) Friday Issued the following statement: The Revised Statement of Policies for School Desegre gation Plans issued by the Of fice of Education is, in my Judgment, both unnecessary and unwise. Furthermore, In sofar as this statement ap pears to require that free choice plans result In any specified percentage of pupil Integration, I believe It Is either misleading or contrary to law. The people of my district of both races are deeply and Justifiably concerned about the possible effect of this arbi trary and ill - considered policy statement on our schools. I have been In con tact with the White House and the Commissioner of Ed ucation to express strong op position to this statement, both personally and on behalf of the people of my district. As a result of a two hour conference yesterday with a representative of the Office of Education, It Is my belief that, while the Office of Edu cation Intends to use the per centages of student and facul ty Integration in a school sys tem as a factor In determin ing which programs will be reviewed, that Office will not attempt to deny Federal funds to a school district which has carried out a free choice plan In good faith, simply be cause the freely exercised choices of parents and students have not resulted In a par ticular percentage of Integra tion. If such action were at tempted, I believe it would be illegal. It is my further be lief that the Commissioner of Education has no legal author ity to" require any specified percentage of faculty integra tion as a condition for re ceiving Federal funds. I intend to continue to do everything I can to have this unwise action rescinded or properly modified, and I am sure other members of the North Carolina Congression al delegation will do the same. Another New Business Opened AtWarrenton Another new business was opened In Warrenton this week. W. Monroe Gardner has been appointed an authorized distributor for the Interna tional Leasing System for nine northeastern North Carolina counties. As a distributor Gardner will lease any type or kind of automobile or truck on a long term lease. He will also lease office furniture, motel and restaurant equipment. The leased cars or trucks will be obtained through local dealers or the nearest deal ers, Gardner said. He added that this would assure quick delivery of the leased vehicles. Tommle Frazler will be as sociated with Gardner In the new business as will Mrs. Gardner after the school term Is out. Mr. and Mrs. Gard ner and Frazler attended the Institute on Leasing In Dear born, Mich., April 3, 4, and 5 where all successfully com pleted the course and were awarded certificates. Gardner said the business would operate under the name of International Leasing Sys tem of Northeastern North Carolina. The nine counties In his territory areGranvllle, Vance, Warren, Halifax, Northampton, Hertford, Franklin, Nash and Edge combe. He said that he would probably appoint sub-agents but for the time being the leas ing would be done from the Warrenton office. Gardner said that there are six major reasons for leas ing cars and trucks Instead of buying them. Lease pay ments are 100 per cent tax deductible. There Is no big down payment; no deprecia tion losses; no malntenanceor repairs; no Insurance pay ments; and no tled-up capi tal. DINNER GUEST Miss Mary Richard Vester of Raleigh was a dinner guest In the home of Mr. and Mrs. Blgnall Jones Sunday night. Services To Be Held At Methodist Church Wesley Memorial Methodist Church at Warrenton will be gin a series of special ser vices on Sunday, April 17, the Rev. L. T. Wilson, pastor, announced yesterday. During the series of meet ings, lasting from Sunday night at 8 o'clock and continuing each evening throughout the week, former pastors of the church will'be guest speakers. Proceeding the services the church will observe a 24-hour prayer vigil which begins at 9 a. m. on Saturday and ends at 9 a. m. on Sunday. At the 11 o'clock service Sunday morning the Church will receive Into It* member ship the class of seven young people who have been making pr^aratton during the Lenten season.

Dor ham, now retired and living In Raleigh, will be the first of five former pastors and one of Wesley's own to speak at the evening services. Monday evening, the speak er will be Dr. Cecil Bobbins, president of Louisburg Col lege. Tuesday evening the Rev. L. C. Vereen, Executive Secre tary of the Board of Missions of the North Carolina Confer ence of the Methodist Church, will be the speaker. On Wednesday evening the speaker will be the Rev. H. L.

Friday evening tlM ? will be the Rev. Troy 1 rait of Cary. Mr. Wilson said that a Mi sery win be prorKsd sssfc evening, and that the public Is lavttadto i Federal Funds To Be Used The State Board of Educa tion has ruled that $60,000 provided under Title II of the Federal Education Act maybe used to construct a lunchroom at the Vaughan Elementary School, J. Roger Peeler, told the board of education here Tuesday night. Peeler said that con struction of the lunchroom, needed to carry out the special program in Negro schools of the county, is expected to start immediately. The board members voted to sign from 441-B, giving as surance of compliance with the revised statement of policies for school desegregation plans under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Supt. Peeler read to the board members a letter from John W. Gardner, Secretary of Health, Education and Wel fare, in which Gardner stated that his department is not try ing to impose a formula of racial balance in schools. Gardner said there was a misunderstanding and the per centage set up in the guide lines are merely "an adminis trative guide which helps us to determine those districts requiring further review." In previous guidelines It was suggested that percentages of students transferring from segregated schools that might be "normally expected" in 1966-67 as compared with the progress in 1965-66. Thus a school system where four or five per cent trans ferred last year, at least triple that percentage will be ex pected to move in the next school year. Basic to these suggested expectations is the federal court rule that school dis tricts which start late must move faster in desegregating their schools. Governor Moore and the State Board of Education have condemned the revised guide lines Issued In March by the U. S. Office of Education, as Impractical, Irregular and Illegal." Supt. Carroll contends that this "Implied formula (of ra cial balance) conflicts with free choice, the policy on which Warren County and most of the state school systems are carrying out desegregation. Members of the board of education Tuesday night agreed that the State Super intendent is right In his con tentions. The board members also discussed faculty integration and school matters concero with Hecks Grove, the Hallwa and Littleton schools, but postponed any action until further consultation with Washington. Lions Meet The Warrenton Lions Club'a regular meeting at the coun try club laat Friday night was featured by a atew-cua din ner served by Parkar'sofWil aon and the showing at aoolor film at the 1908 Maatar'aQotf tfi
