Wtlson, standing and Speaker Judge Coleman C. Cates at annual Ladles Night Ban quet here on Friday night. Lions Hold Annual Ladies Night From a happy hour at 6:30 until past midnight, Warrenton Lions, their ladies, special guests and prominent Lions from over the state, enjoyed the 33rd anniversary and ladies' night banquet at the Lions Den on Saturday night, and hear an outstanding address by Judge Coleman C, Cates, Jr., of Burlington, on the North Caro lina's most distinguished Lions. Adding to this annual occasion was a musical program pre sented by Lisa Coleman, Janet Gainer, Myra Johnson and JennlfoF-TayTofr~j6hn Graham High School students, who de lighted those present and who responded to several requests for encores. They were accom panied at the piano by Lioness ?Nellie Gartner.-* Presented by F. P. Whitley, deputy district governor, judge Cates, holder of most Lions honors, and outstanding for his work among the blind and Boy's Home activities, was lavish in his praise. He praised the local Lions Club for Its outstanding record during the 33 years since it received its charter in 1936; praised the new fair build ing as one of the finest he has ever visited; praised the special music given by the four young ladles and their accompanist, and gave special praise to the young people of today. A former judge of Juvenile Court at Burlington and still working with young people, Judge Cates said one is often badly disturbed by the conduct of some of our boys and girls in high srhrvdc -irni <-.',1 Influx, TuT the highways and around the 7 land, but he would remind his listeners that this group encom passed only from 5 to 7, and at the most 10 percent of the boys and girls. Ninety percent oi -our-KB^e and girts, he said, are minding their own business, getting an education, preparing themselves for life and bidding fair to being the finest bunch of citizens that this nation has ever known or ever seen. This is exemplified, Judge Fountain Comments On Cigarette Advt. Ban Following a proposal last week by the Federal Communi cations Commission to ban cig arette advertising on radio and television, Congressman L. H. Fountain of the Second North Carolina District issued the following statement: "I have not researched the legal question, but I know of no authority granted the FCC to ban the advertising of cigarettes or any other legitimately manu factured and legally sold pro duct in this counfry. Nor do J know "f any ether ""ltd h??U upon which it could make such a decision. "This attempt by six indivi duals to arrogate to themselves the role of physician, prosecu tor, judge and jury is uncalled for and will, in my opinion, be (ought to the end in the Con gress. "Until there is clear, indis putable, scientifically proven medical and understandable evidence in support of the charge as to the harmful na ture of smoking, no govern ment agency, nor any indivi dual employee or official of the Federal Government has any right, or, in my opinion, authority to render a decision -which?eould?force~imo Dank ruptcy some 625,000 farm faralliestn 10 states wliu make an honest and legitimate living from the production of tobacco and the millions of other good Americans who earn their live lihoods, either* in whole or In part, directly or indirectly, from the handling of tobacco."

Cates said, by the four fine girls from John Graham High School who sang here tonight. We owe a debt of gratitude, he added, to our schools, our churches and our parents for what they are doing for the young people. "I am certainly con cerned about current events and I am concerned about thefuture, but I am not alarmed by either.

Judge Cates said that the Warrenton Lipns Club Is one of the .finest in the state. "I think It has more fun, more social life, and more beautiful women and better food than any club I have ever visited, and I have visited many of them. Judge Cates spoke of the work of the blind and what the work of the Lions has meant to the blind of this state, with its work shops and its programs and with its closeness to the work of the State Commission for the Blind. He also spoke of Lions work among the young people of the state, stating that the Boy's Home at Lake Waccamaw is an outstanding achievement of the Lions and other civic groups of North Carolina. A long time member of the board of that organization, and closely connected with its work since its inception, Judge Cates said that the Lions of North Carolina have made the major contribution to the development of Boy's Home, and are con tributing $30,000 for a fixed annual budget for the boys at Boy's Home. The Lions have built, paid for and maintain a | cottage there, one equal to anyother. Lions have not only contributed money to build a cottage there, but have main tained great Interest In the pro ject and boys there and have given hope and encouragement when the way looked dark.
