ONIt YEAR. 13.00) SIX MONTHS, ll.5? iluxs nAi ess . our op statu one year. <4.ooi six months, ij.oo Don't Ask Us To Omit News The Warren Record would deep ly appreciate not being asked to omit the names of defendants tried in Warren County District Court, mainly for violations of the motor vehicle laws. We try to run an honest news paper and to be fair in our pre sentation of news. It does not seem to us that it would be either hon est or fair to omit the names of the influential and publish only the names "of those~without Influence. No practice could do moretorobthe paper of its good name. We would like nothing better than to print no crime news, and for that matter no bad news because we know that such publication hurts the inno cent. In a world filled With suffer ing, we hate to add any pain. But if only good new? is carried in a community's n^^-paper an honest picture of the community is not given. The publication of court news not only serves to give a record of those tried but it also gives a picture of the operation of the courts. Any favoritism shown in the opera tion of a court would be revealed in the publication of its action. The courts are the foundation of our civilization and they must operate under the light of full publicity. When an editor suppresses this ac tion he is betraying a public trust. Please don't ask us to do this. Commissioners Duty Is To Town We have no particular quarrel with those living on the edge of the town who would resist any attempts of the town to bring them into the town's corporate limits. They like enjoying all the advantages of atown without its largely fancied disad vantage. We do have some quarrel with those so situated who feel that be cause they desire no change they have a moral right to keep the town from growing. If anyone in these (liys oi BipUKBhg (Sdpuiaxibn IS3I that they want to live la try they should go out far enough to avoid the encroachment of a growing town. People a few years ago living ten miles outside of Charlotte, for instance, are now in the city. Of course, Warrenton is no Charlotte, but it will not grow If people on the outskirts are per mitted to block its expansion. However, many people have built on the edge of Warrenton, not be cause they liked country life, but often to escape town taxes. Liv ing within a few hundred yards of the town, they enjoy town advantages, churches, schools, stores, water, sewage, police protection. It is not surprising that many who enjoy these advantages free, object to having to pay for them by being brought into town. If it were possible to pick up the entire town of Warrenton and move it elsewhere, those living on the edge would soon find out that they owe something to the town as they would find that they had to travel several miles to reach a supermarket or chain store, a drug store, or other facilities that make life a bit more enjoyable. They would find, among other things, that the value of their homes would be great ly decreased. ? Ail Wr ffiUrfCtte, towns and tifflifili.Jig*. constantly increasing their limits. -TOwre '-this l?-not true there is not only no growth, but as a rule, a decrease in growth. In every town where the corpor ate limits have been extended there have been people brought into the towns against their wishes, but often to their great advantage. Warrenton should be no exception. The thousand who live within its corporate limits have rights equal with the few hun dreds who live on its edges. The commissioners are elected by the town's citizens to look after the town's interest and not the interest of those who live on its edges. We feel that where the commissioners find an extension of the limits is in the town's interest they should make such extension. Sunday Sale Of Beer ft may well be that the commis sioners are correct In their view that a majority of Warren County citizens do not want Sunday sale of beer In Warren County, but so long as towns within the county are per mitted to sell beer on Sunday, a definite hardship Is Imposed on rural merchants who operate stores on Sunday without diminishing the Sun day supply of beer. Glancing over a recent Issue of a Lawrencevllle newspaper, we noted that the supervisors of Bruns wick County, which adjoins Warren, have approved Sunday sales of both beer and wine, after petitions re vealed 1916 persons were tor Sun day beer sales and MS against _ of the Brunswick board was taken la spite of the appear of a number of ministers and while purchasingbeer often pur chase groceries and other Items. Thus, money that should be spent In Warren County is spent elsewhere with no ban on beer sales. The trouble with the Sunday beer sales proposals Is that many of our citizens try to make a moral issue out of what is a police Issue. B Sunday beer sales offer a police problem they should be barred. B not, we feel, they should be per mitted. Warren Police Officers say that beer la no problem, but that wine la. During the months that beer has been sold on Sunday at Noriina and Macon there Is no evidence that crime haa Increased at all. B a store la already open, sell ing gasoline, bread, and other Items on Sunday, it looks rldiadoos that it cw't sell a carton of beer to be otf the premises. I . * Personal By BIGNALL JONES Robert Davis, Pat ir and I entered tha Uni versity of North Carolina In the fall of 1911 and became mam bara of tha Studaat Army's Training Company ?? wara at first housed In Old South, but In separate rooms. Latar I was transferred to another company and quartered in Old East, which Is tha oldest state college build ing In America, the first dormatory built at the Univer sity. My son also roomed there tor some time when he was a student at Carolina. I was In a room in this building on Nov. 11, 1918, when the Armistice was signed. I remember Maurice Crawley, my room mate, coming into the room announcing that the War was over and my reaction after more than 50 years. Maurice came into the room lamenting the fact that the war was over before we could get into it. I said nothing, for thdre was absolutely nothing heroic about me and I was in the Army only because I considered it a job to be done. Seldom have I heard any announcement with more pleasure for I was sick and tired of being constantly hazed by sophomores who had been elevated to second lieu tenants after 90 days at Plats burg Officers Training School. The only thing that I was taught was the manual of arms and military courtesy, which was mainly jerking off my hat when meeting officer indoors and saluting the same when I met him on the campus, a couple of years in the National Guard In later years showed me that my experience at Chapel Hill was not typical of the Army, but I had learned a distaste for the military that persists to this day. Beyond any personal consid eration, 1 was tired of the kill ing. Edward Davis, Robert's brother, had been killed, as had many young men from Warren ton whom I had known. Some time earlier Pat came up to me on the campus and told me that Edward Davis had been killed and we immediately went to Robert's room to try and com fort him. It was about this time that a paper from home told how a shell had exploded in a company containing a num ber of Warrantee boys and kill ed a large number bt them.' Edward Davis' death was a particularly sad blow, not only because he was the brother of my closest friend, but also be cause he was a close friend Letter To Editor HARVEST FESTIVAL To The Editor: I note with Interest the re cent account of the "Amazing" success of the Fall Festival held at the Warren Academy. All of us connected with the Academy appreciate the pub licity that your paper gave to this event both before and after. That it wu a tremendous suc cess Is now a matter of re cord. Perhaps It Is not important and really only a matter of semantic*, but 1 question the use of the word "amazing." The im plication is that no-one expect ed it to happen. Some of us would have been disappointed hud it not been amazingly suc cessful. No project or cause will ever fail, when a group of people as dedicated and as de termined as the patrons of this school, work together toward a common goal. The Warren Academy ha* become the moat unifying force ever to touch the lives of the people of this coun ty. There la no such thing as geographical division in this effort and no one community la tMwlrlny of -Itself *100*.

After the Armistice we vara discharged tram the Army bat remained at chapel Hlllatpov arnmant expense* until tha Chrlatmaa holidays. Following our discharge, Pat, Rut-art and I found a room in one of tha new dormitories, and enjoyed a few weeka of collage life which strengthened friendships that have persisted to this day. I can not remember the name of this dormitory, but It was a good ways from the older part of the campus. Today it Is In the heart of the expanded campus. When my brother, Brodle, was in school In Chapel Hill with Boyd Davis, Keppel Falk ener and Edward Davis In 1916 1917, there were about 600 students at the University. When I was there In 1918 there were around 1200 students enrolled, I don't know what the enroll ment Is today, but I think it Is around 12,000. Kenan Stadium used to be a long ways out, but now buildings are only a few hundred yards from the stad ium. All the above is recalled as the result of a recent visit to Chapel Hill when I walked by Old East. Earlier we had rid den out to Gimghoul Castle, where I had been a guest of Bill Polk In the thirties. I think Its location Is at what was known as Plney Prospects when I was a student there. We used to walk out there on Sundays. In the thirties one could sit on the wall surrounding the castle and In the day time overlook miles of forests and at night one could see the lights of Dur ham. Now growing trees have shut off the view. National Book Week Being Promoted By Junior Woman's Club National Book Week Is being promoted locally by the War ren ton Junior Woman's Club. Mrs. David Proctor, the club's fine arts chairman, this week submitted the following article on National Book Week: This week Is the 50th year that National Children's Book Week has been held. Two men, one a writer of children's books and the other an editor, started Book Week In 1919. Plan.* for Book Week are made today by the people at the Children's Book Council in New York. They sent out posters and informa tion to let people know about Book Week. Book Week makes everybody think about Children's books. Once upon a time, and not too very long ago, children's books were not very interesting. Most were written in a very dull way. Now that has changed. Chil dren's books now can be ex citing and thrilling. Once upon a time, too, if a child wanted to hear a good story, his mother or father had to read it to him. Good stories just were not written so that children could read them. That, too, has changed. So, why not read your parents a good book? There are lots on the library shelf that the whole family would like to hear. How To Read To Parents: 1. Turn off the TV 2. TeU them a little about the book. S. Read with expression and look up often. This way it will be more interesting for them and will give you a chance to see if they are listening. 4. Be sure to show them the pictures. 5. Don't read too slowly. You will find this will put them to sleep. 6. H they get restless, tell them you will finish the story the next nlgM. 7. Praise them if they listen well. You could take them to the library and la', them pick out their next book. They might have a favorite of their own. HOW TO CAKE FOR BOOKS: 1. Do not write la books. a. Do not fold covers back so they touch each other. This will break the books' backs wd the pages will fall out. S. Be certain your hands are dean. _ 4. Do not tun a book face down when it is open. 5.

Cooking methods not recom mended: (1) Turkey Is prepared, stuffed and trussed, and com pletely wrapped In aluminum often should be covered. 6. Stand up books straight on shelves so they do not lean or droop. 7. Keep your books away from younger brothers and sisters who do not know how to care for them. 8.
