KOONCE The temporary headquarters for Buck Spring 4-H Camp received a facelift during the weekend with two coats of paint being applied by 13 members of the Warren County Jaycees and two members of the Littleton Jaycees. Some 109 manhours were donated by these two organizations that took in an all day workday on Saturday and an afternoon work period on Sun day. The painting of the frame residence was carried out as part of a community project un der the leadership of Lynn Henry and Scott Mulchi, co chairmen. According to N. Macon Robertson, president of the Warren County Jaycees, this project officially begins the start of the new year for community service activities to be carried out by the Jaycees. Painting of the house at Buck Spring is the third project since 1985 that the Warren County Jaycees have undertaken to help develop the camp facility. The two previous projects included the development of nature trails on the 71-acre site and carrying out a fundraising project with a donation of $770. The residence painted by the Jaycees was stripped of all old paint a week ago and on Satur day the Jaycees used an oil based primer for the first coat. They returned Sunday afternoon to put the finishing coat of paint on the building. The residence is now a brilliant white-finished structure that is a real com plement to the total develop ment of the project. Jaycee members participat ing in the project and furnishing much of their own equipment were: Macon Robertson, Ricky Bryant, Lynn Henry, Randy Pegram, David Crowe, William Cox, Mike Norwood, Arnold Williams, Macy Bolton, Danny Bartholomew, Scott Mulchi, Gary Williams and Kenny Clayton of the Warren County Jaycees and Dallas Rodwell and Clyde Johnston of the Littleton Jaycees. Also, Edward Hunter volunteered his services by mow ing all the grass with a riding lawnmower that was provided for him. The Warren County 4-H Office is deeply indebted to this great community minded organization that is always looking for the op portunity to do a good deed for the community.

Carroll Named Head Of Scouting Program Brad Carroll will be the chair man of the 1988 Warren County Investment in Character pro gram for the Great Northern District of the Boy Scouts of America, according to Tim Thomas, finance committee chairman. The Investment in Character program is a fundraising cam paign among members, parents and friends of scouting. Thomas said that the campaign will pro vide the funds needed to operate scouting in Warren, Vance and part of Granville counties. Thomas explained that the campaign is part of a 12-county effort covering an area called the Occoneechee Council. The Coun cil receives about 48 percent of its operating budget from the United Way, with the balance coming from the Investment in Charac ter campaign. The Occoneechee Council provides program serv ices directly related to local youth and their scouting units. These services include camping, training, advancement, activites and organization, according to Thomas. In 1967, over $1,250 was raised in Warren County for the Invest ment in Character campaign. Carroll said that approximately $1,400 has been raised this year so far in Warren County, only slight ly lower than the $1,500 goal that Carroll set for the campaign. The district goal? the total amount from Warren, Vance and Granville counties? has been set for $16,000. Contributions from the community is the only way the goal can be met Contributors can pledge amounts for the year and fulfill their pledge in in stallments, according to Carroll. Carroll, who is vice president of First Citixens Bank in Warren ton, Is a former scout himself. Having grown up in Johnston County, he remembers the days when "scouts weren't financial ly able to participate in activities that are available today such as camporees or day camps." "I've always been grateful for the citizenship training the scouts gave me, and I'm glad to give something back to scouting," Carroll said. As an adult, Carroll had been a scout volunteer, hold ing the position of District Chair man in 1963-84. During that time, he and Warren County High School principal James Wilker son were instrumental in setting up a Career Awareness Post at tiie high school. Carroll is also involved in com munity organizations such as the Warrenton Rotary Club and War ren County Ducks Unlimited. "I can confidently say that youth benefit greatly from the development opportunities they are given by scouting. Each of us can make an investment in our community by supporting the leaders of tomorrow? our scouts!" Carroll said.
