The summer has been the hottest I can remem ber. We have all suffer ed, and we are all glad to see some cool days. The extremes of the sea sons are hard on our old people, but I know we have to be thankful for all of it. We have had a lot of visitors in the last couple of weeks and several of our folks have gone home to be with their families. Nancy Carter has gone to the beach with her sisters, Edward Spence has gone home with his daughter, James Scott is going home with his sister to stay awhile, Sara Burchette has been home with her sisters, Tommie Harris has been with his father for a few days, and many more have been home for the day or out to eat with some member of their families. Birthdays for the month include: Colum bus Bryant 12th, Rudolph Lamm 21st, Travis Lamm 1st, Ossie Hines 29th, Andrew Stansbury 10th, Francis Green 12th, Herbert Murphy 17th, Mattie Davis 8th and Clifton Braddy 18th. I am sure they would all ap preciate a card from any of you on their special day. There haven't been very many things going on at the rest home due to the extreme heat, but we will be having some events during the month of September. We are planning to have an open house some time this fall. The date has not been set yet, but will let all of you know about it in plenty of time. Residents having visitors this past week end were: Louise Kear ney, Mollie Dye, Ed ward Spence, Pattie Arlington, Mina Reid, Williams. Surviving are four daughters, Mrs. Edna W. Mustian of Rich mond, Va., Mrs. Stella W. Rose of Norlina, Mrs. Odell W. O'Con of Rich mond, Va., and Mrs. Arline W. King of Warrenton; one son, Jesse C. Williams of Richmond. Four bro thers, Jack Satterwhite of Chester, Va., Nolton Satterwhite of Clarks ville, Va., Stephen Sat terwhite of Alexandria, Va., and Creed Satter white of Warrenton; one sister, Mrs. Flaudia Coley of Palmer Springs; 12 grandchil dren, 22 great-grand children and two great great-grandchildren.

The family will be at Blaylock Funeral Home in Warrenton from 7 un til 9 o'clock tonight. Paid Homage Mr. and Mrs. Robert Zimmerman of Jamaica, N. Y. recently paid homage to their deceased son, Donald Zimmerman, by holding graveside prayer at Greenwood Baptist Church in Warren Coun ty. Other friends and relatives present were his Godparent, Mrs. Hazel Laws; his God sister, Mrs. Dorothy Young and children, Bobbie and Stephanie, all of Jamaica. Earl Bobbitt, Dora Collier, David Gay, George Ellington, John Patrick, Walter Rich, Harvey Carroll, Earl Pollard, fommie Harris, Eula and Walter Rivers, Joe Faulcon, Ammie Woodard, and probably several others that I failed to see. Please, please, if you have a family mem ber in any kind of home, try to go and visit as of ten as you can. It is very depressing for these folks to stay here day af ter day with no visitors. I want to dispel a rumor that has gotten around town that the management at the rest home will be changing and that Ruby Clary and I will be leaving. This is in fact just a rumor. It is not true. I hope to spend the rest of my working days as manager of this home, and I am sure Ruby does, too. Several people have asked us about it, and we just want to make sure that everyone knows that it is just a rumor. There are going to be some personnel changes made at a later date, but it will not be in the managerial position. We want to say a special "thank you" to a couple of people for sen ding us a truck load of watermelons, which were very much enjoyed by the residents. William Ellington gave the melons and Ms. Judy Stainback delivered them. Thanks a lot folks. We had a watermelon party on Labor Day and everyone had all they wanted to eat. We also want to say "Thank You" to Mrs. Walley who is Mrs. Pearl Bobbitt's cousin for a car load of beautiful plants she brought for our living room and office. They were really very pretty and the residents have enjoyed looking at them. Till next week, God bless.

Parking (Continued from page 1) Vaughan submitted and explained the budget amendments for fiscal year 1963-84. The com missioners voted to direct Mrs. Carolyn Robertson, finance of ficer, to make the necessary corrections in the budget. —Fire Department —Commissioner Phil Daniel announced that he had met with Fire Chief Lee Cheek and that the recently repair ed pagers were operat ing satisfactorily. He expressed a need for additional pagers for firemen to use at their places of work. —Street Department —It was reported by Commissioner Bobby Edmonds that improve ments planned by one of the property owners in the West Franklin-South Main - Market - Front Street block would possibly interfere with garbage pick-up and fire protection for a number of businesses in that block and with access to the taxi stand on the corner. White, Edmonds and Vaughan planned to meet with the property owner to learn whether an alternate plan might be possible. Board members voted, however, to designate two parking spaces on South Main Street for taxis if needed. Wastewater Depart ment — Commissioner W. A. Miles indicated that lightning damage had been repaired and that although every thing was in working or der, additional work was needed. Concern was expressed over a sewer leak behind Currin's Minute Mart on Ridgeway Street, and plans were made to in vestigate. Mayor White an nounced that Warrenton had again qualified for the Community of Ex cellence Award to be presented at a meeting at the Civic Center in Raleigh on September 19. He reported that six reservations have been made on Warrenton's behalf. According to the mayor, the Town of Warrenton has received reimbursement from the State of N. C. in the amount of $1,912 for ex penses incurred during the search for prison escapees from Virginia during the summer. Vaughan reported receipt of a letter from the Department of Transportation in dicating plans to time the traffic signals in Warrenton in order to allow traffic to flow more smoothly. The mayor adjourned the meeting shortly af ter 9 p. m. Litter Campaign Plans Announced It is that time of year again. Time to start prepar ing for the Fall State wide Clean Up Litter Week. The North Carolina Department of Trans portation (NCDOT) and the Agricultural Ex tension Service will conduct their fall clean up litter campaign Sept. 16-22. During the campaign at least three NCDOT maintenance crews will be assigned to pick up litter in each county. Also, large litter bags will be provided to volunteers who par ticipate in the campaign through the County Department of Trans portation and Agricul tural Extension Service. Sept. 22 will be pro claimed Youth In volvement Day by Governor Jim Hunt. If your group, club or Training Site (Continued from page 1) visiting associations, would be held at the cen ter. Meek estimated that it will take at least 18 months to complete the project after the necessary land is ob tained. He also said that the center would probably be built on the north side of Qine Creek, where the pond is located. The advantages of Norlina as a site for the proposed center are that it is located near an ample supply of water, that it is centrally located, and that it is far enough away from any other habitations to per mit damage through smoke, smell and other matters connected with fire fighting. Discussion of matters concerned with the pro posed fire fighting train ing center was the only new business discussed by the commissioners. Old business consisted of the reading of the minutes of the August meeting when it was decided to replace the town's mercury street lights with sodium lights. When Town Clerk Mae Gums said that she had not yet attended to this matter, Commis sioner Eleanor Hayes expressed her regret that she had voted for the change, but she received no support for rescinding the motion. Present for the hour long meeting were Mayor E. L. "Bill" Perry, and Commission ers Eleanor Hayes, Dwight Pierce, James Vaughan and Kenneth Severance. community organiza tion is interested in par- ' ticipating, you may con tact Miss Margaret J. Woods, associate Home Economics Extension agent at 257-3640 or Glenwood Rose at the Warren County Depart ment of Transportation. Some Plants Favored By Fungi Powdery mildew is one of the most common diseases of landscape plants. If you have some of the more highly sus ceptible plants, the easy way out may be to replace them. The following plants are likely targets of the fungus caused powdery mildew: Crepe myrtle, lilac, euony mus, drooping Ieucothoe, a number of oaks, roses, some chrysanthemums, and occasionally azaleas, hybrid rhododendrons, zinnias and phlox. Damage caused by pow dery mildew can range from slight to severe. The disease generally occurs in shady areas during the spring and fall when the weather is cool and the humidity is relatively high. The characteristic symptom of powdery mildew is a fluffy white to light gray fungus growth on succulent stems, leaves, buds and flowers. Young plants and actively growing shoots are more severely damaged than older plants, leaves or branches. Infected leaves may be dwarf ed, curled or deformed. Powdery mildew can de stroy the blossoms on crepe myrtle. Small dead flecks in the leaves and defoliation may occur in some varieties of azalea and rhododendron. Highly susceptible plants, such as euonymus, should be replaced with plants that are not susceptible to pow dery mildew. If damage is severe and susceptible plants must be grown, apply Ben late as a foliar spray. Two or three applications are usually sufficient. Follow label directions. Another fungicide which will control powdery mildew is Karathane. Spray with Karathane every seven days or as needed. Follow label instructions for the rate and list of plants on which it can be used. Sulfur can also be used as a spray for powdery mildew.
