Ground Broken For New Eiberon Church Facility Members of Sulphur Springs Baptist Church in Elberon recently held their groundbreaking service for a new fellowship hall. Construction is expected to begin immediately. The fellowship hall had been in the chui-ch's long range plans for several years. However, several weeks ago, a pledge day was held and members gave more than $12,450. The building committee had decided that the church needed to raise at least $12,000 to add to what was already in the building fund before construction could begin. When the pledges were added up, they were $450 over the needed $12,000. The church will con Warrenton Club Has Yuletide Tea The Warrenton Woman's Club observed Christmas early by having a Christ mas Tea at the Depot on December 17.

Work Often Needed On National Papers WASHINGTON - There is a tiny hole in the Atlantic Charter, and a little brown spot where a second hole may develop. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and a host of other Allied leaders signed the Charter, a sort of bill of rights for all nations after World Warn. Now the priceless document is in the preservation laboratory of the National Archives in downtown Washington, where specialists are trying to figure out how to repair the damage and protect it. The Charter is one of about 150 so-called treasures of the National Archives that are part of a pilot project to identify the condition of documents and determine what needs to be done to preserve them. Story of Nation Reading the list of treasures is like a lesson in the basics of American history. They include Washington's acceptance of the post of commander in chief of the continental army, the Treaty of Paris that ended the Revolutionary War, the Louisiana Purchase, the United Nations Charter, and the 1963 Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Also included are some oddities, such as Washington's Revolution ary War account book and designs for the Great Seal of the United States. Preservation is a major problem at the National Archives. Alan Calmes, the agency's preservation officer, says preservation has the highest priority - with limitations. "The National Archives has 3 billion document pages in its custody, and we can proem only about 300,000 a yew," he says. "So, if all of them needed to be preserved in their original state, it would take about 1,000 years." Fortunately, not all need to be kept in their original state. Many are more important for the information they contain than for their intrinsic value, and can be duplicated, either by microfilming or by photocopying. But nobody knows how many documents are in which category, which is why the "treasures" project is a first step. These are papers that everyone agrees are intrinsically valuable. The question now is: What shape are they in? Page by Page To find out, the Archives has contracted with two paper conservators from the Library of Congress, who are going over the treasures page by page. A contract was necessary because the Archives has no paper conservators of its own. The budget for the new fiscal year calls for hiring two such experts, and approval is expected despite budget slashing. Once the experts report on the condition of the treasures, Archives officials will decide what to do neat. "A pot of money, about $150,000, has been set aside for that purpose," says William Leary, preservation officer on the Archives' program coordination staff. Preservationists also are concerned with saving records on materials other than paper, such as film, much of which is highly flammable. But for paper, the key culprit Is acid "Some papers start out acidic," says Chandra Shahani, chief of the preservation laboratory.

House and Senate and the state's congressional seats will be open at noon on February^ 15 and will close at noon oil Monday, March 1. Fees for those seats will be paid to Hospital Working \ Hours Reduced Because of the low patient census at Warren General Hospital, the board of trustees has reduced working hours for employees. A 32-hour week will be in effect until the average patient census increases, according to Lynn Orfgen, hospital ad ministrator. Orfgen said the hospital is maintaining an average census of IS patients, but has been staffed for the 18 to 19-patient range. The shortened work week will be effective until the average patient census increases to around 20. Orfgen said that the census usually improves during the winter months. The hospital employs the equivalent of 55 full-time employees. In other action designed to help reduce costs, the board voted to have Kevin O'Leary, comptroller who came to the hospital last year through Carolina Hospital and Health Ser vice, transferred from Warren General. Hie board felt, according to Orfgen, that a full-time comptroller could not be justified given present financial considerations. the county Board of Elections. There will be no U. S. Senate race in 1982. Unless the pending law suit challenging redistrict ing plans postpones the primaries, the first one will be held on May 4 and the second, if necessary, on June 1.
