The driver of the truck, Gino Scali, 36, of Houston, Tex., said the brakes locked when he tried to avoid hitting a vehicle which changed lanes in front of him as he was veering left to pass another vehicle driven by William Edward Harris, 35, of Macon, who had sig nalled to pull off on the right. The tractor went out of control and struck the 1975 Pontiac driven by Harris, causing Harris to cross a ditch and knock down a mailbox and newspaper receptacle. The other vehicle which the tractor had braked to avoid continued traveling west on the roadway, according to a report in the State Highway Patrol office in Henderson. Harris and Scali suffered minor injuries in the mishap and damages to Harris's automobile were estimated at $3,000. (Photo by Brenda Clarke) Cable Television Expansion Ruling Tabled By Warren Commissioners By THURLETTA M. BROWN Staff Writer Warren County Commissioners in their regular meeting Monday tabled further action on the pro posed franchise for Warren CATV, Inc.'s expansion into the county. Only two Gaston Lake area residents had been present for the public hearing citing as the reason for poor attendance the 9 a.m. scheduling of the session. The Henderson-based firm has been in operation since 1968. With existing franchises in Oxford, Norlina, parts of Granville Coun ty and Warrenton, the corpora tion wishes to expand services in to areas in Warren County which are outside of municipal boun daries. Bobby W. Rogers, Henderson attorney and member of the CATV board of directors, and Jim Terry, son of CATV owner Ben Terry, provided infor mation relating to the financial solvency of the firm and sketch ed plans for expansion. Chairperson Eva M. Clayton asked where initial expansion would be located. Terry indicated that the area out N. Main Street, Ridgeway Road and the U.S. 1 area in Wise were likely can didates. According to Terry, the Soul City area and Macon are not feasible options at this point. Pro hibitive expense of cable installa tion in new areas and a requisite residential density of 40 homes within one mile of an existing trunk cable were cited as bar riers for these and other areas in the county. Commissioner George Shearin noted that the "40 per mile" re quirement would be difficult to satisfy. Terry indicated that War ren CATV would be able to pro vide installation if the customer were willing to share the cost. "We try to make it easy to get customers," he said. Warren CATV's fee for basic service is $9 per month. The Movie Channel is available for an additional $9 per month. The one time installation in homes satis fying the "40 per mile" require ment is $15. In future years, War renton residents will be offered new options, among them Home Box Office (HBO), the Disney Channel and a tier service pro viding additional stations. Commissioner J. T. Fleming indicated his satisfaction with the service received from Warren CATV. "It is one of the best buys in athletics and recreation, but if there is something that you don't like, the service can be terminated." Chairman Clayton indicated that she was not a cable subscriber, but that she had heard from some citizens who were dissatisfied with their ser vice. She suggested that the mat ter be considered in more detail and that it be put on the agenda for the next meetingK, The board also accepted the Community Development Block Grant agreements between the county and the North Carolina Department of Natural Re sources and Community Devel opment for the Perdue Water/Sewer Extension and Quick City Community Revita lization projects. Signatory forms empowering the chairman, finan cial officer and deputy financial officer to sign requisitions for CDBG funds were approved with the stipulation that two sig natures be required before funds are disbursed. "Warren County is especially fortunate to have been among the seven counties receiving such a large amount of money from the Department of Natural Re sources," chairperson Clayton commented, "but this is likely to be it for the rest of the year." In a related matter, the board approved the request for a com munity development admini strator for the Quick City project to be responsible for planning and implementing the project. Ap plicants are to be interviewed jointly by the county manager and economic development direc tor. Supervisory responsibility will be shared equally by the two offices. In other business, the board: ?Approved the CBA program agreement for the *-H day camp for next summer and allocated $1,390 from contingency funds to (Continued on Page 12) Unclaimed Monies Are Listed Holders of unclaimed monies belonging to residents of the state are required to file an escheat report of the property.

The new schedule will replace a policy by which customers received statements by the fifth day of the month. Payment deadline remains the 20th of each month and the board expressed that the earlier billing could facilitate more prompt pay ment by customers. The board also adopted two grant project ordinances, both local option projects under the Community Development Block Grant program of the N.C. Department of Natural Resources. One project calls for $100,700 to be applied toward street improvements on Access Road and the second is tagged at $49,300 for Darden Street water improvements. In other action, the commis sioners voted to help purchase Christmas lights for decorating a tree for the holiday season in the town. Outstanding Math Teacher Is Named Melissa Hollingsworth, first grade teacher of South Warren Elementary School, has been selected as the Outstanding Elementary Mathematics Tea cher for 1986 from the Warren County Schools. Ms. Hollings worth feels that mathematics is best learned when children use manipulatives to help them see concrete evidence of abstract skills. She has created centers with materials which allow students to work individually with materials. Games are used to provide motivation, reinforce ment and practice. Her students make booklets to reinforce numbers and number words. They do art projects to reinforce skills. She conducts contests and activities which in clude math fact drills, estimating the number of Jelly beans in a Jar and holding a circus day where students add up points won to get the total. They set up a store to reinforce concepts relating to money and they used popcorn? freshly popped in class, of course, (Continued on Page 12) Democrats Turn Aside GOP Challenge Locally Former Gov. Terry Sanford led a Democratic sweep through Warren County Tuesday, claim ing victory in all 14 precincts en route to a state-wide victory over Republican incumbent Jim Broyhill in the U. S. Senate race. Sanford, last elected to public office in 1960, fashioned a con vincing win in Warren, compil ing a lead of almost 3-1 over Broyhill, who was appointed earlier in the year to fill the vacancy created by the death of former Republican Senator John East. Less than half of Warren's 10,000 eligible voters turned out for Tuesday's election, but they voted overwhelmingly Demo cratic. Sanford got 3,572 Warren votes, Broyhill 1249. Second District Congressman Tim Valentine won a handy vic tory over challenger Bud McElhaney of Durham Valen tine, a Nashville lawyer, re ceived 4,370 votes to 744 for McElhaney. Like Sanford, Valentine carried every pre cinct. In one of many judicial races up for grabs this autumn, James Exum defeated Rhoda Billings, 3,814 to 940 in Warren County in their campaign to become chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. The Exum-Bill ings race had attracted the most attention in judicial races which normally feature casual voter interest. In the race for a seat in the 7th House District, Democrat Thomas Hardaway topped Scot land Neck attorney Jesse Shearin, Jr., easily in the seven Warren precincts included in the district formerly represented by Warrenton attorney Frank Bal lance. Hardaway had 1859 votes to 830 for Shearin, a registered Republican who got on the ballot as an unaffiliated candidate following the circulation of petitions in his behalf throughout the multi-county district. Voters gave their approval to the three constitutional amend ments determined on Tuesday. Veterans Service Office Relocated The Veterans Service Office has moved from the Warren County Courthouse to new quarters, 136A South Main Street. The office building is located in the block with Hunter Drug Store and across the street from Wood's Cash Grocery. The telephone number remains 257-3385. Amendment 1 carried in Warren, 2,588 to 1,468; Amend ment 2 carried 2,491 to 1,224; ana Amendment 3 was successful by a vote of 2,372 to 1,327. Perdue Start Formally Set Construction is underway on a Perdue Farms, Inc. parent breeder hatchery to be located on S.R. 1132 in Manson. The Salisbury, Md. based company will construct a 20,000 square foot facility with machinery and equipment to hatch 241,920 eggs per week. Approximately 30 per sons will be employed at the facility. A groundbreaking ceremony will be held Monday, Nov. 10, at 11:30 a.m. at the hatchery site. Frank Perdue, chairman of the board of directors of Perdue, and Jim Graham, commissioner of agriculture, will be in attendance along with local Perdue staff members and county officials. The eggs to be hatched at the Manson hatchery will come from primary breeder growers in the surrounding area. After hatching in the Manson hatchery, the chickens will supply regular broiler breeder houses in the area. When fully developed, these chickens will lay eggs that will be hatched at the Halifax hatchery and end up, ultimately, on our tables. The location of the parent breeder hatchery in Warren County is the result of many months of planning. A grant in the amount of $110,480 was ap proved by the North Carolina Department of Natural Re sources and Community Devel opment for Warren County to supplement with $25,000 in local resources for construction of water and sewer lines to serve the hatchery site. Perdue's operations in North Carolina with 4,300 employees and a $50 million payroll current ly represent one-half of the com pany's total investment and pro duction. Perdue has broiler pro duction contracts with over 1,000 North Carolina fanners and spends nearly $100 million in the state each year for corn, soy beans and other feed supplies. Perdue's total investment in Warren County is estimated at $7 million. Hiis amount includes the hatchery facility, $2 million in breeder houses already con structed and approximately $2 million in breeder houses to be built. New Ladies Store Opens In Downtown Warrenton "I wish we had a store like this in Warrenton. Our Leggett store is closing and we won't have anywhere to shop." As a result of this comment overheard by Hugh Pillow in his Roanoke Rapids store, Warren toil was selected as the site of the fourth Pillow's Fashions. "I knew that I was going to move my Roanoke Rapids store and after looking over the situation, War renton seemed like a good place to go," the Raleigh businessman said. The University of Oklahoma graduate brings *7 years of ex perience in retail merchandising to the area. Opening its doors for business two weeks ago, the establishment offers such braids as Personal, Lee and Chic, Prospect Hill, Lord Isaacs and Exquisite Form for ladies and their daughters. Pillow acknowledges the need for stores in small communities. "I have always felt that there was a need so that ladies would be able to shop at home without having to drive to larger towns." Stores in Franklinton, Wake For est and Spring Hope have been successful. "We try to cater to all women by offering junior and missy sizes as well as larger sizes at very competitive prices," Pillow added. The day-to-day operations of the store are managed by Mrs. Margaret Mustian. "We are very fortunate to have her and value the experience gained in her years at Leggett" An official opening has been planned for later this month, but the store is open for business nav Monday through Saturday, I until 5:30 pan.
