Parker, pastor of the Warrenton Baptist Church on N. Main Street, is attempting to address current issues confronting North Carolinians, and War rentonians in particular, in a series of sermons which he has dubbed "Hot Topics." The series grew from his perception that "church people need to be in formed about such issues, and they need to gain a Christian per spective on them." For the past three weeks, Dr. Parker has focused on one of the "hot topics" during the 11 a. m. worship service at the church. Secular humanism, women's ordination and ministry and capital punishment have been considered. Among the subjects of other sermons in the series are politics and religion, abortion, prayer in the public schools, world hunger, separation of church and state and racism. Graduates Alan L. Jones, son of the late Dorothy and James Jones of the Af ton community, recent ly graduated from the Gumpton-Jones College of Mortuary Science in Atlanta, Ga. Jones at tended John Graham High school and was af filiated with Harris Turner Funeral Home in Warrenton. He is currently residing in Atlanta and has plans for returning to this area. Rice Varieties Burma could offer the world an agricultural revolu tion of its own, reports Na tional Geographic. As many as 30,000 rice varieties may exist in the country's northern areas. Many plant geneticists believe them to be among a handful of dwindling zones in the world that preserve the genetic history of commer cial food crops. A conserve is a jam or preserve-like product that contains nuts and often raisins. Dr. Parker states that "the point is that the church needs to be ad dressing the issues that are talked about at the barber shop and beauty shop. The church cannot afford to be silent on matters of utmost con cern to people. To do so is to say that faith does not relate to everyday issues." Community Watch Group Has Meet The Warren County Community Watch Association held its semi-annual meeting on Oct. 25 at the Warren County Courthouse. Mrs. Eva Hcli7.n.ann, president, called the meeting to order and gave an appropriate devotional entitled "The Guiding Light," which she ended with a prayer. Everlyna Norwood, secretary, read the minutes of the previous meeting. The program, "Crime Prevention," was presented by Miss Margaret Woods, home extension agent. She was assisted by Mrs. Betsy Frazier of the Warren County Sheriff's Department. The program gave advice on how to install better locks on windows and doors, how to put up security lights, and how to get neighbors in volved in reporting unusual activity or strange vehicles in an area. Mrs. Holtzmann gave a report on the state meeting, which she at tended on June 23 at the Jane S. McKinnon Cen ter in Raleigh. She reported that a highlight of the meeting was an appearance by the Fort Bragg Police Dogs and their trainers. There was a demonstration of the dogs' ability to search out drug users and to attract and hold them to be searched by the officers. A puppet show on "Rape and Child Molestation" and a film showing the use of a VCR for recording the valuable m one's home were also presented, ac cording to Mrs. Holtz mann. Sheriff T. R. Williams gave a report on some of the recent crimes in Warren County, in cluding several purse snatchings. He suggested that, if possible, one should never go out alone. For a project, the Community Watch Association decided to sell McGruff calendar! for $1.50 each. Anyone interested in purchasing one should contact any of the officers. The officers for 1965 are: president, Eva Holtzmann; vice president, Ruby Jones; secretary, Everlyna Norwood; and treasur er, Dale O'Berg.
