Swing With Increasing Crowds

ren County Fair, off to a slow
start Monday and Tuesday be
cause of rain, was In full

increasing each night and a
banner night predicted for to
night (Friday).
Exhibits are of fine quality
although not In the quantity of
previous years, Miss Emily
Ballinger, home economics
extension agent, said yester
day. She blamed this on the
dry weather and a delay In
the printing and distribution of
the Fair Premium list on the
part of the printers. If more
and more housewives freeze
products, the number of can
ned products tends to de
crease, she pointed out.
Judges, she said, were very
pleased with the quality of the
products. In addition flower
displays and booths of Home
Demonstration Clubs and 4-H
Clubs were outstanding.

holding a lucky number was
won by Bonnie Hamm,

Hamm of Warrenton. A sec
ond pony was scheduled to be
given away on Thursday after
noon, the second school day,
after this newspaper had gone
to press.

fair manager, said Tuesday
that the fair this year promis
es to be one of the county's
finest fairs. He said the fair
management Is pleased with
the midway attractions. He
said the midway contains 15
rides , three free acts twice
each night, and five shows;
as well as several rides new
to the area. One of these Is
a helicopter ride which provt
ed popular at beaches the past
summer.
A feature of the Fair was
the Calf Show on Wednesday

'Girly' Shows Operating
At Warren County Fair
"Glrly" Shows will con
tinue to operate this week at
the Warren County Fair.
The law does not prohibit
the operation of such shows
at a fair properly operated,
County Attorney James H.
Llmer advised Sheriff Clar
ence Davis in a written
opinion Tuesday morning.
Acting on his enterpretatlon
ol the law, Sheriff Davis told
operators of Glrly Shows Mon
day that they would not be per
mitted to open. When the
question of Davis' Interpreta
tion of the law was raised,
he wrote Limer for anoplnlon.
Llmer's letter reads as
follows:
'You have requested advice
as to whether or not you may
prohibit the operation of
'Glrly" shows at a fair.
"After review of Chapter
106 of the General Statutes of
North Carolina which regu
lates fairs, and after talking
to Mr. Bullock of the office
of the Attorney General of I
North Carolina, I am of the '
opinion that you do not have
the authority as such to pro
hibit "glrly" shows from op
erating providing the fair as a
whole Is properly authorized.
This does not mean, however,
that you do not have authority
to arrest and prosecute
persons for vulgarity or any
other acts which would con
stitute a violation of the law
under ordinary circum
stances. The fact that It is
a fair does not clothe them
with authority to engage in
activities or actions which
would ordinarily constitute a
violation of the law."
Sheriff Davis said yesterday
that he and his deputies would
be at the fair to see that the
law Is not violated under the
statute and that law and order
Is carried out.

Free city delivery of mall
at Warrenion, promised for
around Sept. 20, has been de
layed because Post Office of
ficials have indicated that in
sufficient time was allowed to
inaugurate the program, it was
learned Tuesday from the of
fice of Congressman L. H.
Fountain.
There is a possibility that
the delay may result in door
to door delivery in residential
areas instead of curb delivery.
Congressman Fountain said
that he had conferred with Post
Office officials in Washington
and Atlanta about plans to in
augurate city delivery service
to patrons of the Warrenton
Post Office. He said that he
was disappointed over thefact
that curb line service rather
than door to door service had
been approved for residential
areas.
In view of the delay in in
augurating service at War
renton, Congressman Foun
tain said that he had requested
the Post Office Department to
reconsider the entire proposal
with a view of providing door
to door delivery service to
private residents as well as
to the business section of the
town.

Webb Stressed Need
For L. L. Football
Coach Jlmmie Webb of
John Graham High School was
the speaker at the regular
meeting of the Junior Chamber
of Commerce held on Thurs
day night of last week at War
ren Plaza inn. President
Clinton Capps presided.
Webb talked on the need
of Little League Football for
Norllna, Warrenton and Lit
tleton High Schools. Such
teams are a great help to
the varsities and are of great
benefit to boys who par
ticipate, Webb said. Mem
bers of such teams, he con
tinued, learn the value of win
ning and losing, enjoy the sat
isfaction of belonglngto some
thing.
Webb said that the young
children need something to do
and that they are losing the will
to compete because parents
give them too much. Little
League Football would give
these children somethlngto do
and the sense of accomplish
ments by their own efforts.
The cost of such teams,
Webb estimated, would run
from $18 to $25 per boy.
Special guests of the cham
ber were James Peoples and
Carl Ayscue, coaches of Little
League Baseball Teams the
past summer, and Louis
Mustlan and Fred Bartholo
mew.
