Passage of Law For Control of Syphilis Urged in Congress State Health Officer Ap pears Before Committee Monday Congressman A. L Bulwinkle of Gastoma. who was the co-introducer, with Senator LaFollette, and Dr. ?arl V. Reynolds, state health offi fore a congressional committee in Washington, yesterday, to urge pas sage of the proposed federal syphilis control measure Making this announcement. Dr Reynolds said: **If the press of the nation wilt give this measure the same enthu siastic support the newspapers of North Carolina are giving the battle against syphilis in our own state, this j will, I believe, greatly encourage our federal lawmakers and help the pas sage of the bill in congress. It was introduced January 19. I was in Washington at the time and was \ery much encouraged over the manner in which it was given a number promptly, referred to com mittee of which Senator Royal S. Copeland, himself a physician, is the chairman. The supporters will pre sent the strongest argument at our command Dr Reynolds said he would in form the committee officially of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation's benefaction and of the progress North Carolina has made on the w?jr against syphilis "I see no reason." he declared, "why America should not be made as free from syphilis as the Scandanavian countries, where con trol measures have succeeded in very satisfactory manner. But this will take money, time and patient endeavor. North Carolina was a pioneer State in the enactment of a law for the control of syphilis and Major Bulu inkle was delighted to be one of the co-introducers of the federal measure which, if passed, will pro vide $3,000,000 the first year, $6,000. 000 the weci?d year. >12,000.000 the third year, and $25,000,000 the fourth and each succeeding year "With the proper backing we ha\e hopes that the measure will be Congress," Dr Reynolds concluded. I am proud of North Carolina's achievements, as I believe all public Ilea 1th minded citizens are and 1 am convinced that what we have done, including the Smith Reynolds Foundation gift, ought to go a long way toward stimulating interest along national lines Surgeon-Gener al Parran recently wrote me sharing this view."

Martins Defeated By Roliersonville The all-Williamston Martins were eliminated from the Bethel tourna ment last Friday night by a team se lected from all over Martin County and representing the Robersonville Aces. It was by far one of the best games of the tourney and was a lot closer than the 38-24 score would in dicate The game opened fast and by the end of the first quarter the Aces hafl run up an ft 2 Pur, ing the second period, paced by Sam Edwards, who played a stellar game, found he range and had turned the tide in their favor by a 12-10 count, by half-time. After intermission, Robersonville really got "hot" and scored 19 points, while holding the Martins to only 4 during the third period. The locals came back in the fourth verse to play the winners on better than even terms, but were never able to overcome the lead which the Aces had amassed Very outstanding for Williamston was Sam Edwards, who hit the meshes for a total of 15 points and played a bang-up floor game as well, while Tom Rose and Oscar Ander son turned in good performances. Best for the Aces were Jimmy Brown, who shot 13 points, and Skeets Atkinson, Rocky Mount Y ace. who played a good floor game. The Martins will not play any home games this week, due to the high school tournament, which is be ing held in the local gym. The next home performance will be next Mon day night, Feb 21st., when they will be host to the Robersonville Aces, in the rubber game of a three game series More Readers Enter The Enterprise Mailing List | Roy Ward.

Passage Of Farm Bill Yesterday In Senate (Continued (torn Tage One) acres will be allowed 3 2 acres, and larnis with 3.5 acres or less will be allowed to plant 90 per cent of their base. These figures are not definite, but are subject to variations Group C faims are those with no established tobacco base but on which tobacco was planted in 1934 1937 The acreage on .these farms wilt be determined after the same pat tern followed in establishing bases for Group A farms, with the follow, ing exceptions , "If tobacco was grown on the farm in both the years 1936 and 1937 not more than 2-3 of the average acreage tonsidered as the "past acreage", and grown in 1936 and 1937 should be the recommended usual acreage for the farm should in no case exceed 83 per cent of the recommended usual acreage for similar farms under Group A If tobacco was grown on the farm only in 1937 not more than l-2of the acreage grown in 1937 should be considered as the "past acreage", and the recommended us ual acreage for the farm should in no case exceed 73 per cent of the recom mended usual acreage for similar farms under Group A. The recommended usual acreage for farms falling in Group C should be based on the factors listed for Group A other than the past acreage of tobacco, but in no case should the recommended usual acreage for any such farm exceed 75 per cent of the usual acreage for farms under Group A. nor, should the recommended us ual acreage for any such farm ex ceed four acres. The Group C farms are those upon which tobacco is be-| ing planted in 1933 for the first time since 1933. The base cannot exceed four acres, and It Is possible that the base will stand as low as b acres, or even less, depending upon the size oT the county goal. Briefly stated, the 1938 program i allotments are based to a great ex-1 tent upon allotments under the old | triple A or soil program with a wide lange for those factors that deter mine the final goals.

ECONOMY AUTO SUPPLY Easy Tei and Batteries I ESSE CRAWFORD HERE THURSDAY JESSE CRAWFORD PLAYING THE HAMMOND ORGAN The internationally famed "poet of the organ," Jes*c Crawfird, who conies to the Watts Theatre on Thursday, Feb 17, actually began his musical career at the age of 14. when he got a job playing the piano in a small fly-by-night orchestra on the Pacific coast Long before that how ever, he was a busy little musician on his own, starting on the harmoni ca at the age of three in an orphan age where he spent his early years. Subsequently he received instruc tion there on the cornet and trom bone and at the age of 12 was pro gressing rapidly with the reed or gan and piano. During the ensuing days when organ music in the aver age motion picture house was more or less a necessary evil to the pa trons, he was enabled to try his hand at the console and despite his lack of formal organ lessons "got by" due to the theatregoers being enthralled with the picture and paying little heed to the wheezing old pipes or reeds. It was invaluable practice for young Crawford nevertheless, and he soon acquired poise and instinctive ly knew how to iron out the kinks in the most dilapidated instrument. At 18. he graduated to the latest type oKtiieatre organ and having perfect ed hism^chnique and acquired a style of his owh. he found himself among the big-timers almost over night. With the coming of electrical aids to the pipe organ Crawford's march to fame as a soloist is one of the highlights in the history of motion picture theatre showmanship, after playing for Sid Grauman in San Francisco, he opened in Los Angeles at Grauman's Million Dollar theatre and the name of Jesse Crawford was in huge electric lights, a virtuoso without a sompetitor. one who never took a lesson on the instrument he mastered so well. Crawford and the theatre organ tame east to Chicago, headlining at the Tivoli and then the Chicago theatre in New York he played the Paramount as organ soloist for six consecutive years. Ra dio and recording companies sought him out. On the air he built up an audience of millions of listeners.
