Water Waster
Leaks in toilet tanks can
waste 200 gallons of water a
day without making a sound.
A simple way to check for this
type of leak is to remove the
tank cover and place a few drops
of food coloring in the tank,
preferably when the toilet will
not be used for several hours.
If the color seeps into the bowl,
there is a leak.
Election Year
Moves Made
Democrats in Warren County
are launching their election year
activities with their annual
precinct meetings on Thursday,
March 6, at 8 p. m. Any regis
tered Democrat is invited to at
tend.
Theaoseus T. Clayton, chair
man of the Warren County
Democratic Party, said the pre
cinct meetings are an import
ant step in the party's overall
election year strategy. "We're a
ground-up party," said Clayton.
"Our strength has always been
in the hundreds of good people
we have in precincts across the
state. The precinct is the build
ing block of the whole structure.
If our precincts are strong, our
county organizations are strong
and our state party is strong."
Each precinct will elect dele
gates to the Warren County con
vention on April 5. Precincts
will have the chance to pass
resolutions expressing their
views on political and public
policy issues.
Clayton said he expected a
good turn-out for the March 6
precinct meetings. "It's
amazing how much energy and
enthusiasm there is among
Democrats these days. They're
bound and determined to win
this year, and they're willing to
do the nitty-gritty work that's
needed."
Precinct meetings are held at
each precinct polling place.
Anybody who needs to know the
location of his or her polling
place or who wants more infor
mation about the precinct
meetings should call T. T.
Qayton at 257-3195.
Involving Warehouse
Commissioners Give
Blessing To Rezoning
Warrenton's commissioners
cleared the way Monday evening
for a manufacturing enterprise to
use the front portion of the Cen
tre Warehouse property on
Ridgeway Street by sanctioning
a recommendation of the War
renton Planning Board that the
property be rezoned from C-2
Highway Business to Industrial.
The Planning Board's approval
of the rezoning was given follow
ing a public hearing on the re
quest Feb. 10.
A spokesperson in the town of
fice said on Tuesday that plans
were for the property to be used
for the manufacture of ladies'
undergarments.
The company, Stretch-Knit
Elastics of North Carolina, Inc.,
announced its plans to locate in
Warrenton last month.
Prospects appeared favorable
for a full five-member police
force again in Warrenton with a
report of the recent hiring of two
new policemen.
Police Commissioner A. A.
Wood reported that Robert Cox of
Northampton County and Peter
Lennon of Warrenton will begin
their schooling March 3. Cox
plans to move to Warrenton,
Wood said. Both men will begin
work in the police department
upon completion of their school
ing and should alleviate the
heavy load now carried by the
town's three policemen as well as
cut the mounting overtime pay,
commissioners noted.
Mayor B. G. White informed
the commissioners of the necessi
ty of selecting a project for use of
$9,600 available to the town in
matching grant funds from the
General Assembly. White noted
the existence of a number of
possible projects and said the
selection must be made and the
application prepared prior to
April 1.
