York, Paul "Red" O'Malley, skip per of the local baseball club, im mediately started making plans for the coming season. His first day here found him making no wild 4 promises, but a strong assuram * that the Martins would have a hard working group of ball players, a group that could be expected to fight to the last ditch. And that's about all O'Malley had to say about prospects. However, he dwelt at length on actual happenings, re viewed his tour of the nation by let ter, telephone, telegram and grape > vine connections looking for prom- t isin? baseball material And he says \ he is not disappointed to date, and t that there's more just aroux^j the ' corner with contracts now pending * with one or two college stars of last v season. 1 Attention is now being centered on the training camp which opens on April 7 instead of on the 10th as was announced some weeks ago Transportation was sent out yester- j day for the boys, and week after next many states all over the na tion will be sending representatives! here for berths on the local club j Just prior to opening the regular ing plans for a trial camp opening on April 3 Quite a few boys have already spoken for reservations, and O'Malley is anxious to get more i Martin County youths interested in j the camp. Any young man who can "'chunk," catch or run is invit- j ed to partlctpate" ui tiie~tnai camprf including high school youths. Four additional players were add ed to the Martin roster over the j week-end, running the count to 23. Charles Sellers, of Belle Plaine, Iowa, was signed for work in the field, and James Hoff, of Cincinna ' ti. has been booked for work at sec ond base. Two husky gentlemen of the mound have been signed, the num ber on the roster for that position now standing one short of a round dozen. There's Charles Misek, New York righthander, ' slightly over six feet, tips the scales at a bare 200 and has a hand that he wraps all around a baseball Harley Lewis Nebel, a 19-year-old youth of Lomira, Wis, will pair off with Mi sek Nebel weighs 200 pounds and stands six foot two. Jimmy Hamilton, of the Buffalo club, is sending Sellers and Hoff to his old friend, the Skipper, here Contracts for five" players, includ ing a shortstop, are ponding, O'Mal ley stating this morning that h ? would possibly have more informa tion to offer in connection with Blew plkyef blo*becls lallei mUT" week. contract with the Martins has not j i been heard from officially i am very anxious to try him "out, and p hope to get in touch with him short ly," O'Malley said. $14,612.80 Received By Tornado \ id i nis The sum of $14,61280 has been expended in the interest of the stricken families of the Greens Cross section whq were victims of the recent disastrous tornado from J L.

"You will present no one for en y, hatred or malice; neither shall ou leave anyone iinpresented for ear, favor or affection, reward or he hope of reward, but you shall urscnt all things truly?as the; ome to your knowledge, according o the best of your understanding." Judge Thompson offered no com ient on general crime conditions as hey exist today, but he did call special attention to the violation of hose laws designed for the safety f people using the highways "You an hardly ever pick up a newspa >cr now a-days without seeing /here some horrible motor accident ias happened ? which accident night have been avoided if those in -olved had obeyed the laws enact d for their safety and the safety of (thers Something must be done to :ompel obedience to those laws and charge you, Mr. Foreman and gen tlemen, that it is your duty to care ully investigate any violations of he motor vehicle laws of which no jther tribunal has taken cogniz tnce." ?? :? Grand jury procedure in handling /ills was reviewed, and the duties of nvestigating public offices and pro perties and the guardian list were briefly outlined, the jurist instruct ing the jurymen that when they lad completed their labors they a/ill return to the court a report of ^hat they had done.

"But in your desire to bring the guilty to punishment you must still take care to guard the innocent from injury, and you will, therefore, in every case that may come before you carefully weigh the testimony offered and present no one unless in your delihoiafi' jnHflmnnt tha dence before you is sufficient, in the absence of any other proof, to jus- , tify the conviction of the accused." ! * Judge Thompson expressed his confidence in the group of men be fore him in that they will discharge with fidelity and dispatch the im poilanl duties before them. tyr G.

Golds boro and Clyde Silverthorne Has Long Record In County Courts (Continued from page one) appeared in the courts the following February for violating the liquor Jaws, he was sentenced by the county recorder to the roads for nine months. He appealed, the su perior court reducing the sentence to six months, but the same court just three days later dismissed the case charging him with disorderly conduct. Calmed down for a little over a year, Silverthorne reappeared in the courts on May 31, 1932, for al- j leged drunkenness. The case was no! pressed. Charged with being drunk and disorderly and resisting an officer in November of the same year, he was sentenced to the roads for a period of twelve mortths, the court suspending the sentence. The following April found him in the courts again for being drunk and disorderly and resisting an officer. He was sentenced to the roads for a term of six months. Returning from the roads, Silver thorne straightened himself up and remained clear of the courts until Jtrly when he was sen tenced to the roads for thirty days on a disorderly conduct charge. A week later he was booked on a sim ilar charge, the judge ordering him placed in a State hospital. The orde;' was later changed and the defen dant was sentenced to the roads for thirty days, the court suspending the sentence. The terms of the sus pension were violated the next month, and Clyde went to the roads for a short period. He cleared the road term..just in time to get home and get booked in the superior court for allegedly disorderly conduct and trespassing, me judge ordering him l)lace$. j.n a veterans' hospital Five inontlis later he was dismissed, and for more than a year the courts managed to get along without him. Last July Silverthorne got drunk and wrecked some property, the court suspending a three-months sentence under the condition that lie re-enter a veterans' hospital. Six months later or the early part "oTTHis year, Silverthorne beat his wife, but she withdrew the war rant and rendered the court help less. And now he is in the courts again for beating his wife.

In addition to the 69.000 treated, an even greater number, judged able to pay for such services, were refer red to their family dentist for treat ment. The state-wide program, he ex plained, is under the direction of Dr. E A. Branch, of Raleigh, who is director of this department. . I)r F.ycai#i || f1.? nn ^ cent of the million children in the publie schools need dental care, that a dentist's office is unknown to 55 per cent of these children. He pointed out thai the degenera plained to the postmaster how well he could handle a sling shot. "Take a good shot," Pete advised him. Painfully Burned When Fire Destroys His Car Mai com Barefoot, young farmer living near here, was painfully burned on the face and hands when fire destroyed his 1938 Ford car on Sunday afternoon. While Mr Bare foot was riding along the old Wil hamston and Greenville Road in RfihersfinvilU' Township, fire broke out under the dash board. When he opened the door the fire blazed up into his face. He jumped from the burning machine as it ran into a ditch. Two companions escaped un hurt. live diseases, such as those of the heart, lungs and kidneys are on the increase in North Carolina anH fhnt 75 per cent of these diseases enter the body through the mouth or nose. The mouth is a perfect incubator for germs. Hence the importance of a clean, healthy mouth. "One-third of the children in our public schools are repeaters in their grades, and surveys have shown that this fact is due largely to poor health, in many instances bad teeth," Dr. Evans continued. The program has a two fold pur pose. Dr Evans explained. "It is educational and corrective. In addi tion to 69,000 children treated last year, our dentist gave lectures on ttitr care of ihe mouth before au biences totaling half a million "We realize that our men cannot do all the work that needs to be done, but by showing the need for oral hygiene we feel that we arc building up a sentiment that will bear fruit later on The corrective part of the program, of course, con sists mainly of cleaning the teeth, extracting those that cannot be ^aved, and filling cavitie.s" The best preventive dentistry, Dr. Evans said, is before the child is born when the mother should take :are to eat the proper foods.
