uJljr Ularren iKernrii 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 Needs New Thinking As those in business find it in creasingly hard to find good skilled labor and many of the unskilled find it increasingly hard to make a good living, it would seem time that some of our schools in rural North Carolina re-think its training pro gram. Today a girl or boy with good typing and or bookkeeping skill should have little difficulty in find ing employment in almost any sec tion. The same is true of boys with mechanical or electronic skills. It is true that in some of the con solidated high schools such cours es are offered and in most high schools agricultural courses are be ing taught in spite of declining num bers of farmers. It seems to us that where we should do our replanning is in the field of vocational agriculture. It has been our observation that while numbers of high school students have made good records in those fields, and havo learned quite a bit about the practice of farming, that very few boys after taking these courses ever put their skills to work on the farm. Largely, it seems, we are teaching our boys skills that they will never use. While it is possible that 'I Saw Spring Today' By MRS. H. M. COX in The SmithEield Herald I saw spring today. A little boy playing in the sand in his yard. A dog prancing down the street. A young teenage boy follow ing his mother into a store, yellow plaid shirt, tousled head of hair, with spring showing in his happy care free face. Two little sprigs of flowers, about as high asone's hand, pushing their way out from between two slabs of pavement. Their rebirth had been completed, for their dainty small heads were made of blossoms. Yes, 1 saw spring today, and she was adorned like a bride. Oh beautiful, wonder ful, glorious springtime. Overdose Of Praise An overdose of praise is like ten lumps of sugar in coffee; only a very few people can swallow it.?Emily Post. Changes Proposed In Hunting Season The North Carolina Wild life Resources Commission this week announced several minor changes in statewide open season hunting dates, Including a recommendation to change the traditional Oct. 15 deer season opening date to Oct. 14 for the 1966-67 hunt ing season. If the Commissions recom mendations are adopted, this year's open deer, bear and boar season will be from Oct. 14 through Jan. 2. Other open season date change recommendations for 1966-67 include afour-day ad dition to the open season date for turkey, rabbit and quail with the new open season dates extending from Nov. 19 through Feb. 18. Public hearings on the new commission proposals will be held in each of North Caro lina's nine wildlife districts during the month of May. The bearing for district 3, of which Warren County is a part, will be held on May 18, at the city court room in Rocky Mount at 7:30 p. m Following these public hearings, the Commission will meet in Raleigh on June 7 to adopt final regulations for the 1966-67 hunting season. 1 IB Australia, snow falls in and' Christmas can be so hot that the bathing beach es are crowded. thpre may be some cultural value in the program, it is hard to justify the teaching of skills to boys when hardly 10 per cent will ever put this training to practical use. We think that this training should be shifted to adult farmers, persons who really need and will use the training, and the schools should de vote their time to training students for skills needed in an urban societv. We realize that such changes can not be made overnight, but we do think it's time that school authorities give thought to considerable reduc tion in vocational agricultural class es if not aiiolishing them altogether.

The Eighth district voted to start an endowment fund for a scholarship to be awarded Schools (continued from page 1) with some of the funds being provided by Halifax County. This fell through and Halifax County ruled that after this year Halifax County students could not attend the school. This would result in not enough students to operate the high school. The proposal of the Office of Education was that Halifax County pupils not be permitted to attend the Littleton High I School; that the Hallwa school be closed and pupils sent to other schools; and that Hecks Grove, a small elementary school In the southern part of the county be closed. It was I also suggested that a number of Negro high school students now attending Mclver Negro school at Littleton be return ed to Warren County, and that at least 600 Negroes be en rolled in Warren County schools where the enrollment is predominantly white. The school board found this unpolatable. The members instructed Supt. Peeler to seek to find a less harsh remedy. Peeler went to Washington to talk with representatives of the USOE, and has engaged in further communication by let ter and telephone since that time. A few weeks ago Rep. Ken neth Haddock submitted a pro posal that the Haliwa school to a graduate student from the district who wanted to study medicine.

It was voted that each chapter contri bute on a per capita basis, 20? per member. Following the business ses sion, a delightful luncheon was held in the fellowship hall in the church basement. and the Hecks Grove school be closed and that Littleton be continued next year with pupils from Halifax County being permitted to attend this school. In return the county was to attempt to have 600 more Negro students enroll ed in predominantly white schools and with the further suggestion in regard to students attending Mclverthat "Warren bring its children home." Patrons of the Haliwa schools are insistent that the school be continued and much bitterness has arisen over any Cards Of Thanks Copy for cards of thanks must be In this office by Tuesday night, \rller If possible, accompanied by $1.00 to cover cost of In sertion.
