Reviews Activities Of Social Security Program in County (Continued from page one) workers in Martin county, who were eligible, have received $T2,076. ;00 in benefit payments. We have in Mar tin county 34 employers who are covered by our Unemployment com pensation act who are paying contri butions for the protection of 1050 employees. Claims for benefits fil_ ed from this county since January 1 of last year number 813. This does not mean that 813 of the 1050 cosher ed workers in this county are un employed and are drawing benefits Several of those who filed claims are found not to be eligible for ben efits because they did not work for a covered employer last year Oth ers have filed two. or three or even four claims, one for each time they became unemployed since last Jan uary 1. _ ' "Our policy in trying to distribute fairly equitably over the State the workers we have put on temporarily m our Raleigh office has resulted in giving jobn to three Marin applicants, out of the 27 that have applied for work from this county." Mrs. Spitman pointed out that through Wednesday, June 15, the commission had paid out $4,207, 214.96 to unemployed or partially unemployed eligible workers in the State since the latter part of last January to approximately 150,000 employees. The number of new claims filed reached 275,369 Wed nesday, but, as she explained, some of the workers have filed two, three or even four claims, one for each time they became unemployed. The number of checks issued in the State through yesterday was 555,388, while the commission is continuing to issue checks in numbers ranging "from?0,000 tu ? 9.000?a?chr^r?thtr amounts of which range from $40, 000 to $60,000 a day. Last week, for example, the commission issued, in five and one-half days a total of 35,006 checks for a total of $246, 357.99 "This distribution of nearly four and one-fourth millions of dollars in North Carolina during the past five months has furnished food for many an empty stomach and a home for many families that would other wise have H^ftf^no'shelter during the recession of the past eight months," said Mrs. Spilman ?^bese ftmds g<r to~tbe unomploy-. ed workers first, but their next movement is into the hands of the merchants, the property holders and the doctors." Mrs Spilman said Probably no member of the Kiwan-j is club would ever draw unemploy-J ment benefits directly, but many of them get these benefits indirectly in payments from their customers, ten ants or clients, she said. I Officers Capture Two More Stills This Week Continuing their work, enforce ment officers in tills t'UUUlJ isptus ed two additional stills this week after landing a big one on Monday A large copper .still was wrecked along with 20 gallons of beer in the Free Union section of Jamesville Township on Tuesday, and on Wed nesday a still and a small quantity of beer were captured in Hamilton Township. So far this month, the officers, led by J. H. Roebuck, have captured lght liquor stills, and poured out 4 550 gallons of beer and four and one-half gallons of liquor. Many Attending Meeting \ At Swainsland Chapel Opened last Monday evening, the series of revival services in the Swainsland Chapel at Batts' Cross Roads, have attracted capacity con gregatkms. Rev. Edgar Harden, Nor folk minister, will bring the meeting to a close tonight it was announced by Mi J. D. Taylor, who has been assisting in the services. Mr.v Spilfnan referred t?.? criticism by some individuals .and in some newspapers of the work being done by the Unemployment Compensa tion Commission in this State, but probably the most of it is from peo ple who do not understand the full importance of the Social Security program in general and th# Unem ployment Compensation division will play in the lives of the people of the State and nation, in the years to come Governor Hoey issued a statement recently, she pointed out. in which he showed that North Carolina was among the first of the 25 states the nation which are now paying benefits to unemployed workers. In this statement, Governor Hoey uliowed that North Carolina?ranks fifth in the 25 states in the total number of claims received, third in the preparation of initial determina* tions?which are sheets showing the wage credits of the claimants? and fourth in numbers of weeks for which payments have been made. This Stale ranks tenth in the 25 states in numbers of workers cover ed by the Unemployment Compen sation law, yet it is fourth in the numbers of claims for benefits. The North Cttroliiui Commission has-operated: 24 hours a day, with three shifts, since January, in its efforts to pav unemployed workers who an- due benefits. In the begin ning the work was behind two or three weeks. Mrs. Spilman said newspaper reports showed that New York and Pennsylvania were be hind eight and ten weeks. "We are now 'current', or up to date on in dividual claims, and are just about up on partial claims," said Mrs. Spil Reita Theatre?Washington Monday-Tuesday June 20-21 "Rascals" with Jane Withers and Robert Kent Wednesday-Thursday June 22-23 "Arsenv Lupin Returns" with Virginia Bruce and Melvyn Douglas Friday-Saturday June 21 >5 'The Kid Comes Back" with Wayne Morris and June Travis Visit Our Booth At The Lion's Exposition June 20th through 25th FREE!

Directing a nation-wMc appeal to Americans throughout the country to support the Bowl of Rice parties to be held on June 17th in mord than 1,500 cities and towns throughout the country, Colonel Roosevelt said the funds will be used for relief of the mil lions of women and children who have been left homeless and starving in the wake of the Jap anese aggression. Approximately 5,000.000 chil dren like these pictu eu here are without shelter, ade_j 'a* ? food or medical care. Colonel Roosevelt said In the Shanghai area alone 1,800 babies born in refugee I camps during the past four months are close to death. "Every dollar contributed through the National Bowl of Rice parties on June 17th will help to save the lives of these women and helpless children," Colonel Roosevelt said in his ap peal. Funds raised through the Bowl of Rice parties will be allocated to accredited relief agencies in China through the American Ad visory Committee, an interna tionally known group composed of nine American leaders in Shanghai, he concluded.

Rains Interrupt Cucumber Sales Scheduled to have been nearing a peak this week, cucumber market ing at this point is progressing slow ly as a result of heavy rains falling last week-end. It will be a week or ten days before the season fully gets underway, reports from the sellers indicating that the vines will have taken a second growth by that time, weather conditions being favorable. Beaten by three heavy rains last Friday and Sunday, the vines shed ded many of the cucumbers just as they were forming. "But it is not too late for the vines to take on a sec ond growth and produce heavily," said C. N. Johnson, who is handling cucumbers from approximately 200 acres planted under contract with farmers in this county and nearby communities. Several hundred bushels of the crop have been moved from this point by express during the past few days, and the first solid carload is being moved today to the Brooklyn market. Prices arc averaging around 45 to 50 cents a bushel, reports stating that the unfavorable growing sea son has greatly affected the quality Quite a few graders are working at the receiving station at the Coast Line station, and others are being held in readiness for work when the marketing seasun uallies a cli' Everetts Christian Church | Revival Begins Monday Rev.

SUPPORTING THE CHURCH If you are numbered among those who feel that the Church has failed in its work, and is doomed to pass out of the pic ture, remember, that Jesus, Himself, has given His word of honor* that the Church shall never fail. "I will build My church.,", sjild JesttgL "and the gates of llell shall not prevail against it." The church is being solely pressed by the forces of evil these days, but it is heart ening to know that all that Sa tan can do, cannot destroy the church. The church is the only institution that is assured of its continual ex it tenet*. When the Tale J. B. Duke was looking around for an institu tion to which he could leave his vast fortune, he said. "The church is the only institution that survives, henceforth, the good that I shall do, I will do it through the church." To the young people of Martin County, we ask these questions: Do you expect to be married in the church or by a minister? Do you expect the minister of the church to pronoiyice God's blessings upon your little ones and to admin ister to them the rite of baptism? Do you expect to have the minis ter visit you in sickness and stand with you when deathi enters your home? * If so. then d*> you ?m>T-think that yOu should be 100 per cent for the church which provides for you the minister arid?his services, in times of happiness and sorrow? Fair play, honesty and common sense all demand and insist that the church be supported. Jesus was not afraid To give the church His wholehearted support. ,Jesus gave His life for. the church If lie is your Savior, you too will support it. Total Assessments Are Highest In A Number Of Years (Continued from page one) der the real estate holding. No di vision of the properties had been made at the time of this survey. Real estate listings jumped from $7,313, 795 to $7,810,102, a gain of $496,217 <jr 6 8 per cent. All things being equal, the in crease in the total county listings or dinarily would effect a decrease in the county tax rate of about five cents on the $100 assessed valuation, j That a decrease in the rate is likely no one will venture to say until the corporation listings are certified to the county, and some definite in formation ii raeaivnd from Raleigh as to what to expect in the way of income froiff solvenl credits taken from the counties and placed in the hands of State tax authorities.

O. Manning Conditions in China Warrant Liberal Aid By American People No Bowl of Rice Celebra tion Is Scheduled Locally (By Attorney Paul Roberson) On June 17th there will be held Bowl of Rice Celebrations all overj the United States. These celebra tions have tor their purpose the col lection of money for the needy in China. The form of the celebrations will be dances, hay-rides, parties of various kinds and beauty contests. Governor Clyde R. Hoey has wir ed from Raleigh to the United Coun cil tor Civilian Relief in China: "Am issuing a statement in behalf ot Bowl of Rice parties on June 17th in furtherance of civilian relief for China and I hope that North Caro lina will fully participate in this hu manitarian effort." The refugee situation in China which has caused such great inter est to be taken in this humanitarian event is briefly as follows: Fifty million men, women and children iinn-cnmbiitiintii arc?refu gees in China. This figure is from carefdl estimates made, to include May 15th, and now we know there are several million more. The suffering of these refugees is beyond description. If every city and town in the United States west of the Mississippi were to be wiped out, every home destroyed and the entire population without shelter and starving, the destitution would not equal that in China today. The flight of these refugees be fore the Japanese invader is more like a mass movement of population than anything that has ever before occurred in history. The present movement covers an area much wid er and includes more provinces of Cliinu thun any previous migration from whatever cause. Large bands of refugees have moved from south ern Hopei, southern and eastern Shantung, northern Honan. Ank wei, Kaingsu and Shansi. Even larg er scale migration has taken place in the regions of the lower Yang tze valley since the Japanese occu pied Shanghai, Nanking and Hang chow. While fully detailed figures are lacKing, examples show "the situa tion? HangehoW," kvttfr" V pre-war population of approximately 600, 000, now contains about 10.000:1 Nanking, with* over 1,000,000. is now about 300,000; Wusih, former ly- with 300,000 reports less tlianJ 10.000. From within one area, the triable of Shanghai-Nanking-Hang chow, 16,000,000 refugees have fled westward. A factory-worker's cen sus of Shanghai reveals that of an original 150,000 about 35,000 now remain. In North China, in the re gion of Paoting, investigation of fif teen villages shows that where thi average number of families wai 120, with five in a family, there now remains only 45 men and 118 wo men. Approximately 25 per cent ol the village population of t?us pari of China are now refugees. I Health services have been dis rupted by the invasion. The massinf of ill and wounded refugees, with out adequate shelter, sanitation food or medical care, has created s situation leading to the highesi probability of the greatest plagut the world has faced in mod err times. The diseases appearing art smallpox, typhoid, typhus, malaria No parties have been schedulec in this county, but our people an urged to participate in the humani cause.
