s A'
Soybean Contest To Be
Held In Warren In 1970
By L. B. HARDAGE
Extension Chairman
The Warren County CADA
Agricultural Committee and the
Warren County Extension Ser
vice will sponsor a soybean con
test In 1970. The county will
enter t!? state contest.
If you are interested in this
soybean contest, please contact
Frederick Williams, John Kll
lan or L. B. Hardage and leave
your name and address. It
will be necessary for you to
follow certain rules In this
contest.
Clean-lip Week
I understand the 3rd week In
May will be designated as clean
up week in Warren County. Ex
amine your place and see if
there Is something you can do
to make It more attractive.
To The Hunters
If you are interested in dove,
quail or other types of hunting,
now Is the time to plant crops
for the wildlife to harvest this
fall and winter. Are you willing
to spend some time and money
to help with your hunting en
joyment? Further information
can be obtained on what to
plant, etc., from this office,
the agricultural teachers and
the local game warden.
It Pays To Side
Dress Vegetables
Side dressing with readily
available nitrogen is a
necessary practice to obtain
rapid continuous growth for
most vegetable crops such as
pole and bush beans, tomatoes,
watermelons, cantaloupes,
squash and leafy vegetables es
pecially cabbage, lettuce, kale
and spinach. For pole and
bush beans apply the nitrogen
when the first beans form.
Apply 2 cups of sodium ni
trate, calnltro, or ANL; or 1
cup of Ammonium nitrate for
100 feet of row. Side dress in
dividual plants or hills with a
level teaspoonful of fertilizer.
Keep the fertilizer off the foil
age to avoid burnlngthe plant.
To avoid using too much nitro
gen at one time make two
light applications two or three
weeks apart.
It Pays To Mulch
Small Fruits
Are you getting tired of fight
ing grass or weeds around your
raspberry plants, dewberry
vines and grape vines? Why
not save yourself the job of
hoeing by applying mulch
around your planting? Mulch
will not only help keep down
grass and weeds, but will also
keep the soil cool In summer
and warm In winter, reduces
root pruning, helps prevent ero
sion, maintains organic mat
ter, and helps to maintain soil
uniform moisture.
Use such materials as pine
straw, leaves, sawdust, shav
ings, corncobs, straw, black
plastic or treated paper.
If straw Is used, apply one
to six Inches as soon as pos
sible after plants have been
set. For black raspberries
and dewberries, since you re
move all of the old cane^ at
planting time, mulching should
be delayed until the new growth
Is six to 12 Inches high. Add
extra nitrogen to offset the
loss of nitrogen that is tied up
In the decomposition of organic
mulches.

TO THE PEOPLE

WASHINGTON, D. C. - The
grave developments of recent
days, both In Southeast Asia and
on the college campuses of eur
nation, are- ??deep eoao*i<n *>>
all thinking Americans.
Out pf obMiffis" sb'mSflMe's tlpP
pear to be Insurmountable. And
I am convinced that today, per
haps more than ever before,
we need to pray for God's
guidance and wisdom to help
us find our way through the
tangled paths of the present and
the future.
Frankly, I have some reser
vations about the President's
decision to send American
troops Into Cambodia. The pos
sibilities of escalatlngthe war
are disquieting, to say the least;
and, of course, no President can
guarantee that there will be no
increase in the fighting at one
stage or another. But, when
those of us on the House
Foreign Affairs and Senate
Foreign Relations Committees
met with him recently at the
White House, he firmly stated
that this mission will be limit
ed both in scope and duration?
from six weeks to two months,
and that it is for the purpose of
saving American lives and
withdrawing ourtroopson sche
dule- 150,000 within the next 12
months.
The latest college campus un
rest resulting from Cambodian
developments is also disturbing
and has already resulted in the
tragic deaths of apparently in
nocent students in the midwest.
The impatience of many of our
young people with Administra
tion defense policy is under
standable. It would be nice if we
could transform this into the
"best of all possible worlds"
overnight, but we simply can't
do this. Progressive, responsi
ble change requires time.
B can't be hastily accomplish
ed ? certainly not overnight.
However, I am confident
that the great mass of stu
dents will, in the final instance,
not be led astray by a small
cadre of radicals; that they
will recognize that our Ameri
can system of government,
though not perfect, does amply
provide for the expression of
all points of view in order
ly established channels; and
that there are proper ways
to achieve chance open to them.
Burning down BOTC buildings,
throwing chunks of cement *
policemen, and otherwise en
dangering the internal security
of our nation are no{ answers.
Concerning Cambodia. U is
?B/lor us to remember that
ant troops into
??fia-iiMs"
For at least five years Amer
ican military leaders have
wanted to clear out these mili
tary 'staging areas. Many
'Americans have-been killed by
North Vietnamese soldiers who
then promptly retreated to the
safety of these sanctuaries.
Several years ago the North
Vietnamese moved Into this
part of Cambodia next to South
Vietnam, subjugated the people,
threw out the Cambodian
government officials and pro
ceeded to set up military
bases which wore safe from
American retaliation.
The prime minister of Cam
bodia could not even visit these
parts of his own country because
of the occupation by foreign
troops.
All these North Vietnamese
actions are clearly In violation
of the Geneva Accords of 1954?
signed by North Vietnam?
which guarantee the independ
ence of Cambodia. This simply
illustrates the fact that It is
fruitless to put too much faith
In diplomatic agreements sign
ed by Communists. They don't
live up to their agreements
unless It is advantageous to
them or unless they are forced
to do so.
The fact remains that, at our
meeting with the President, he
was convinced that his limited
military action against Cam
bodian sanctuaries will help
save American lives and will
assure the continued withdraw
al of our troops from Vietnam.
Because of our great anx
iety over this "no-wln" war
and such a strong desire to
get our men home, I can un
derstand opposition to the
Preside it lrjj thi^ (patter, but
under ttie Circumstances, un

wrong, and I hope he won't be, I
think" we?*hoq|d give him our
support. y

Open House Observed
At Head Start Centers
Open house was observed at
all of the 12 Head Start centers
of Franklin, Vance and Warren
Counties yesterday (Wednes
day) under the sponsorship of
Franklin - Vance - Warren Op
portunities, Inc.
The event was the highlight of
Head Start Week beingobserved
over the three counties this
week. Cornell Manning, pro
ject director, said that North
Carolina is the first state to
set aside a week to acknowledge
the advances of the Head Start
program.
During the week a number
of business firms in the three
counties will have on display
art works of the children in ob
servance of Head Start Week.
The Head Start program is
designed for the development
of disadvantaged children, with
90% of the enrolled children re
quired to meet OEO poverty
guidelines, Manning said.
There are 360 pre-school aged
(beginning at 3) children enroll
ed in the nine-months program.
Of these 105 are enrolled in
Franklin County, 120 In Vance
County and 135 in Warren Coun
ty
Head Start Is staffed by 90
regular employees, 24 of whom
are teachers. The other 66 are
serving in various capacities,
such as assistant teachers,
cooks, and in furnishing trans

from the centers. Other volun
Vance County To Have
Ail-Year Registration
HENDERSON ? Beginning on
June l,Vance County will have
full-time voter registration,
doing away with registrations
preceding each election in the
county.
George W. Harrison, secre
tary of the Vance County Board
of Elections, Is visiting Har
nett and other counties in cen
tral North Carolina which has
full-time year-around regis
tration service for voters to
familiarize himself with the new
procedure.
Beginning June 1, the local
board will transfer all Its func
tions to office quarters In the
Dennis building, the former
post office, and Harrison will be
In charge there on a fulltlme
basis to enroll eligibles for
elections.
Occupancy of the new quart
er follows the spring primar
ies. Under state law, counties
with more than 15,000 names
on their books must maintain
permanent full-time services.
Harrison said that at present
there are some 15,300 names
on the registration books In this
county.

teers help out from time to time.
The program has an operating
budget of $424,616. Of this
amount $31,370 is donated
locally in the form of space ant'
facilities.
Manning said that in the pro
gram's three years of opera
tion it has benefitted a num
ber of families, but serves less
than 21% of the children who
meet eligibility guidelines. The
program is currently being
operated nine months, six hours
per day. Manning said he would
like to see the program extend
ed to a full-day, full-year basis.
Manning says he feels that the
program has improved race re
lations by changing some of the
attitudes about integration and
hopefully will Instill a sense of
community responsibility for
the welfare of the children. He
said the most important contri
bution of the program, however,
will be in the adult lives of the
children participating in the
Head Start program."
The five Head Start centers
?in Warren County are the Old
Cool firing school building near
.Warrenton; a building provid
ed by Robert Thomas at Ridge
way; the Community Center
at Warrenton; Ashley Grove
Baptist Church at Vaughan; and
St. Stephen Baptist Church at
Inez.
