Over 7,000 Babies In 46 Years Dr. Warren-’Country Doctor In Finest Tradition By MRS. J. H. WARREN June of this year marks Dr. R. F. Warren's 4«tli year of medical practice and service to Prospect Hill and adjoining communities, Son of the late W. A Waj-ren Said Lula Hester Warren, Dr. barren was born Jan. 6. 1884 in the Gordon ton community in Parson County. His father was an outstanding land owner and chit leader, who rep resented PerAm County during sev eral sessions of the N. C. General Assembly. His lather was a mem ber of the Primitive Baptist Church and his mother was a Methodist, Dr. Warren’ * education began in Person County public schools at Wheeler's School 'near the present Wheeler’s Church and later he spent two years at Oak Ridge Military In stitute. Then he went to Raleigh to attend the Agricultural and Mech anical College fnow State College), where he was graduated. * Although he had his degree, he u as not satisfied. Somehow' he felt that his real desire and mission in life was to study medicine and be a pountry doctor. HU personal aim was to take his knowledge to a little 1 developed part of the state where the work would be a real challenge. In order to realize this ambitioir. Dr. Warren went to Cuba and rais led tobacco for the American T<> bacco Company. Immediately after | his return from Cuba, he entered medical school, where he made an outstanding success in bis studies ; j During his senior year in November 1 before acquiring his license to prac tice in June. Dr. S. A. Molloy asked Dr. Warren to take over his practice so that he oouid enter the hospital for an appendectomy. Thus Dr. Warren’s first experience in the practice of medicine was the two, cveeks in Yanceyville during Dr. MoHoy’s absence. UNDEVELOPED AREA Dr. Warren became a licensed 'physician in June, 19X1,—and ful filled bis desire to go to an unde j veloped area to settle down, for that is Just what the territory which he has served for the past 46 years was at that time. There were es sentially no roads and travel was toy horseback or horse and buggy Because of this poor mode of travel the'“doctor had to go to the patient rather than; bring the ]>atient to the doctor. However, there* was a telephone system in operation throughout the section, which ex tended far beyond hi., hpme Com munity. including much of Caswell and parts of Person. Orange and Alamance Counties. Dr Warren lived upstairs at Warren's Store—Uie brick general merchandise store now‘operated by a cousin, ft. D. Warren- and board ed at the home of his aunt, Mrs. Molly Malone. Upon his marriage to Mary Fos ter. Nov. 29. 1918. daughter of John R. Foster of Burlington. Dr. and Mrs. Warren lived at Aunt Molly's until another aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Williams, built a large two-storv house at tike cross roads near the store. The»e they started housekeeping in an apart ment and lived until several years hater when they built near the store a home in which Dr Warren still livjk Hits office for several years was in the front of this house. ■ ' -' AT LIFE WAS HARD A country’ doctor's life was hard then. Winters were cold witit little means of. protection against them. .Fee* were small—t-vyn tlie delivery j of a baby, irvually the largest j«v was about ten dollars. Adverse con ditions did not affect the fees asked. The doctor was. expected 40 accept these conditions and make the best of them. .*• Such were tlie conditious once when Dr. Warren received a caB j ’ (from Mrs. Pink Newman' at Leas burg, saying tik e was a woman there in labor and him to come at once. He answered that he did not see how he could go that dis tance in severely cold weather—that 1 he would freeze. She replied: ,* You'ie nothin? but a doctor, no way." Dr. Warren immediately sad dled his horse and went to Leasburg. 5 When he returned to "Prospect" Hill the next dav. his horse’s hoofs were frozen and Weeding, it was not un usual to stay on a labor ca*e a day or day and a half. Dr. 'Warren owned one of the [ (9ee DR , WARREN. Page 9) ! ' Ward Named President Hillsboro Lions Club Ira. A..

In Ganaral Assembly Racing Ban Action - I»y JOHN W. UMSTEAB (Orange County Representativel On last Monday night the House of Representatives passed the La nierBttF banmTtg wtrto- racing-« Orange County on Sunday* with an amendment proposed by me in committee which will ban such racing after six P. M. on other days of the week. Blfore the. bill was 'passed l bad a communication fro* the Cpunty Commissioner* staling that they had passed a motion rescind ing their funner action in regard to s Sunday racing ' ip (fringe County. Jhe communication thou stated “Commissioner Stanford then made a motion that no race track in Orange County be per mitted to operate more than 4 days a year. This motion, duly seconded by Commissioner Pope, was passed by the following vpte: Ayes 3; Nays 1." Although the motion dogs not say. so I took it that the commissioners meant to allow racing on four Sunda.Vs. For the first- time since I have been representing Orange Conn tv in the assembly I found myself in disagreement with the com missioners My reason' for tfls agreeing with them are as follows: IV When- the hearing on the bilf was' held in Raleigh before the House: Committee on Counties. Cities and Towns the owner of the “jalopy" trpi-k was the only person who appeared To oppose the bill; ‘ 2. On the other-hand, some 15 or 20 prominent citizens of the county appeared as proponents Df the bill. Among these, were rive or six prominent ministers. In addition to those appearing I Senator Scott Speaks Sunday At Cane Creek Homecjiirilng services . will be bel<Lat Cane Creek Baptist Church Sunday. MajMjft' The Rev. B L. Gupton. former pastor of the church, will be speaker at the II o'clock morning service. Senator W. Kerr Scott will bring an address at the af ernoon service at 2 o'clock Lunch will be served at noon lour. All former members and iriends of the church are invited o attend. * • t BTC RIMING TO NORMALCY Operations are returning to normalcy ai a "verv alee pace." Sidney Eller, president of Reverie Lingerie, said , yetderday. Vs ion members are still picket ing the plant an Highway 7*. bot virtually a full complement of workers has been hired to replace those on strike. The new,workers are progressing “very satisfactor ily." he said. had communications from a num ber of other citizens of the coun ty saying that they favored this legislation. And. % 3, After the county commiss ioners changed their mind I had further communications from prominent citizens asking me to disregard the recommendation of ihe county commissioners. For these reasons 1 felt that a -majori ty of .ill persons directly con cerned with this problem favored the bill. .. Under the hill as passed a«|o racing may take pine* on boli tlSys and at dtoffTiiiuro t p.in. on other days than Sundays. This will allow those who own these tracks an opportunity to pul on races for those who like atito racing at times that will not interfere in any way with church servio -s or other observance of the Sabbath Day. In this connection- many experts in the highway safety field and-' almost all highway patrolmen think .tlitil auto racing definitely . promotes racing and speeding on the public highways of the state. It they are right and I am in clined to think that jhc-y are. then any curbing of auto racing is good legislation. At best large numbers of North Carolinians are going to be killed e:ich year in auto wrecks. AVe should bend our every energy to preventing accidents through ” s|K-ed-and should not in any way do- anything that could be con strued to promote speeding on the highways — - ' Local PO Hours Are Clarified y.- -' - In Statement Since the ro diH orders from Post master General Hummerfield for curtailment of Postal services, there seems to be some confusion coo corning Pest, Office hours at the HHlsboru .Office. - .
