Town N' Country
Club Has Meeting
The Town N' County Garden
Club met at the Rafters for the
February meeting. Mrs. Georgia
Exum was hostess for the
evening.
Dinner was enjoyed by the
members and guest speaker.
Before the business session was
held, L. C. Cooper gave a slide
presentation on perennials, which
included dahlias, gladi
olus, begonia, lilies and cannas.
Cooper said the hardy bulbs can
be divided to produce more
flowers each year. They should
be planted three to four inches
deep and the same distance apart
in the spring. He advised
members to mulch to keep out
grass and the keep the soil moist.
To control pests, Cooper sug
gested the use of appropriate
sprays and not chemicals which
will seep into the soil and damage
bulbs. There are a wide variety
of colors and sizes of each flower
to enhance the home gardens, he
said.
Gladiolus are very hardy bulbs
which came from South Africa
and they grow best in sunny
places. Dahlias originated in
Mexico and thrive in warm, sun
ny gardens. Begonias are called
the "queen of the garden" and
came from England. They love
shade and cool weather. Some of
the flowers are as large as dinner
plates or miniature. Lilies and
cannas are the hardiest and
bloom from spring to frost.
During the business session,
the president read the state mot
to. Minutes were read and
approved.
A letter from the state presi
dent of N.C. Federation of
Garden Clubs was read concern
ing the state convention this year.
Committee reports were post
poned until the next meeting.
The House and Garden Show in
Raleigh was discussed and
members were asked to attend if
possible. Plants were sent to sick
members.
The hostess was thanked for a
pleasant evening. The meeting
was adjourned.
The unity conference provides
a forum for statewide Native
American concerns. The theme
for this year's conference is
"Preservation of the Indian Com
munities Through Economic Self
Sufficiency." Among the topics
expected to be discussed are the
present state of North Caorlina
Indians and issues dealing with
the 1990 census.
The inter-tribal powwow will be
held March 12 from 7 to 11 p.m.
Registration forms are avail
able from the Lumbee Regional

especialiy at night," he said,
emphasizing that night officer
James Ciiampion appeared to be
doing all he could to protect the
town.
Officer Champion reiterated
Robinson's concerns, noting that
since Jan. 1, the town had record
ed 19 breakins with damages to
buildings and stolen or damaged
items estimated at $10,000 to
$12,000. "We've solved four of the
19 cases," he reported.
"We're up about 80 percent
from January of last year in the
number of breakins," Champion
added. "From August to
December we had eight
break-ins."
On behalf of the board, Mayor
Bill Perry sympathized with
Robinson's concerns, which were
voiced also by Clyde Champion,
and explained the difficulty of
finding certified officers in addi
tion to the cost of maintaining a
larger police force.
Later in the meeting, Commis
sioner Dwight Pearce suggested
the councilmen schedule a
meeting to study budget
priorities, including police pro
tection, in preparation for the
next fiscal year.
Officer Champion reported on
progress in contacting Norlina
vehicle owners who have yet to
purchase town tags. He
estimated there remained about
52 people who had not purchased
the tags and indicated he would
continue making contacts.
Town Clerk Mae Gums said the
price of tags, which is increasing
at the rate of one dollar per day,
would reach the maximum of $15
on March 10. Citations will be
issued after that date, she said,
and violators will be assessed
court costs in addition to the cost
of the tags.
The commissioners commend
ed the police department on their
efforts to enforce the regulation.
Mrs. Gums read a letter to
Norlina resident John G. Mustian
from Exxon Company, U.S.A. an
nouncing the gift of $1,000 to the
Norlina Volunteer Fire Depart
ment in appreciation and
recognition of Mustian's con
tributions to the fire company.
Mrs. Gums noted this was the se
cond donation the fire depart
ment had received from Exxon
on Mustian's behalf.
Mrs. Gums said she had
learned in conversation with the
state highway department that
equipment and operators would
be made available to work on the
shoulders and ditches in Norlina
as soon as weather permits and
a list of jobs is submitted.

inspection.
Harris told board members
that he was concerned that no in
spector was present continually
at the site until Neal was hired,
"after 8,000 feet of the project had
been completed."
Mrs. Clayton waid that state
approval was given the engineer
ing firm supervising the job and
that it was not felt necessary that
a full-time inspector should be
hired to oversee the project.
Fleming's motion came after
Harris told the board that sec

Bloodmobile Visit
Is Deemed Success
The Feb. 25 bloodmobile spon
sored by the Warrenton Lioness
Club was deemed a success, ac
cording to Mrs. Alice R. Robert
son, Warren County Blood Ser
vices chairman.
Ninety-four pints of blood were
donated to the American Red
Cross, including 21 by employees
of Carolina Sportswear, 20 from
Central Sportswear, 26 from
Cochrane Eastern and five from
Warren Nursing Center. Twenty
one persons who offered to give
blood were deferred because of
low iron, Mrs. Robertson said.
Mrs. Robertson expressed
thanks to Mary and Jack Groves
for co-chairing the project and to
the Girl Scouts for donating
cookies which were served to
donors.
Receiving a pin for one-gallon
donation was Mamie 0. Rodwell
of Littleton. Margaret Ann
Brame of Norlina received a two
gallon pin.
The county is currently 85 pints
behind in collections, the blood
services chairman noted. She en

port upcoming bloodmobiles: on
May 25 from 9 a.m. until 2:30
p.m. at Warren County High
School; and on June 23 during the
same hours at the Lions Den,
sponsored by the Warrenton
Woman's Club.
Groups interested in sponsor
ing bloodmobile visits and in
dividuals interested in serving as
volunteers for the bloodmobile
are asked to contact Mrs. Robert
son at 257-2542.
