Bill Craft and the Rev. Mack Dulln, Methodist minister, on the Zion-Jerusalem Charge, who has recently moved to Norllna. Craft, who said that he was not trying to harm Mrs. Breedlove, told the board members that he simply wanted to clear up somethings that were disturbing him as they were reflected in the be havior of his child. His child, he said, was emotionally dis turbed, and hated to attend school, and he wondered If her teacher was not respon sible for some of this prob lem. He cited examples as related to him and her mother by the child and told of ex periences of other parents tending to show that Mrs Breedlove's methods were un orthodox and might well up set the child. The Rev. Mr. Dulin said that his child who had never had any trouble in the several schools he had attended was badly disturbed this year. He said that his Is a close knit family and the relations be tween him and his child are close and that he has h 1 s child's confidence.

If a dam pro posed by the Army Engineers Is built on the Tar River at Spring Hope In Nash County it would back up water on Fish ing Creek Into Warren Coun ty. A prediction that "only one for two" proposed dam pro ejects on the Tar River will ^be recommended for lmmedl te construction has been lade by Col. Beverly C. Snow, head of the Wilmington Dls rlct of the U. S, Corps of ngineers. Speaking before members of he Tar River Basin Assoc la Jon earlier this month, Col. now said that while all four i projects can beeconoml ly justified, it's "very -probable" that all will not be ^recommended for Immediate ' construction. A proposal by the Corps of Engineers ? currently In charge of a study being made of the Tar River Basin?would locate one dam at Gray Rock In Granville County eight lilies south of Oxford, at an imated cost of $7.8 million ?lars. L Col. Snow said other dam es are expected to be re itmended on the Tar River Spring Hope, on Swift Creek at Salem and on Fish ing Creek at White Oak. The river basin study, started In 1964, Is expected to be completed In 1967, Col. Snow said. Total cost of the four dams Is estimated at $38,200,000. The Spring Hope dam pro ject has a price tag of $14 mil lion and would be located about two and a half miles south west of Spring Hope at the U, S. Highway 64 bridge. The proposed dam on Fish ing Creek would be located about three miles north of Red Oak and would cost an esti mated $6,000,000. Cost of the White Oak dam, to be located 10 miles west of Enfield is expected to be $9,800,000. Following a report on the study and a description of each dam site. Col. Snow outlined some of the benefits that can be expected from the River basin development program. The four reservoir projects would be capable of reducing flood damage by 70 per cent for the basin as a whole and would eliminate more than 90 per cent of Nash County's flood damage, he said.

Nickels Vote To Be Held Next Tuesday Warren County farmers will go to the 31 polling places In the county next Tuesday, Nov. 22, to participate in the statewide referendum which will determine If the Nickels for Know-How program will be continued for another three years.

Nickels for Know Howfunds are extremely Important In the initiation of basic research in the sciences on which our ag ricultural production isfound ed, Paul J. Lancaster, War ren County referendum chair man, said this week In urg ing all farmers to participate In the referendum. "A nickel buys more than five cents worth of research If It's the nickel the farmer contributes to agricultural re search through the Nickels for Know-How program," Lan caster said. "Knowledge in the biolo gical sciences Is necessary If we are to improve plant and animal production beyond pre sent levels and If we are to Improve the efficiency of pro duction," he added. Lancaster explained that large sums of money are available from such agencies as National Science Foun datlon, National Institutes of Health, Atomic Energy Com mission and National Aero nautics and Space Administra tion. "But in order to obtain these funds, he said it Is nec essary to have highly com petent scientists and teachers in the state who can develop some ideas of their own in the research." It is the funds farmers con tribute through Nickels for Know-How that help assure this. The nickel extra he pays for a ton of fertilizer or feed is an Investment that pays off in the dividends of out side grants that are jnany fold the amountsof the "seed" money from Nickels for Know How.
