National Income Around 70 Billions Secretary of Comerce Harry L Hopkins in a statement reviewing the business upturn of the year, which in all sections of the economy was better than last year, suggest ed to business that a continuation of the favorable conditions depended upon proper pricing policies and the willingness of business to risk new t nterprm "During the year 1938 the trend of business was toward higher levels," Mr. Hopkins said "In all sections of the economy?industry, trade and agriculture?1939 was a better year than 1933 "The extent of economic improve ment during the year may be meas ured by the department's data on in come payment*?an inclusive indi cator since it measures the flow of purchasing power derived from cur rent productive activity. The esti mated total for 1939 is $70,000.(100.000 ?$4,000,000,000 more than in 1938. and $2,000,000,000 less than in 1937 A large part of this increase?$2,300, 000.000?went to labor, through an increase in the number employed and in more regular employment. "The number of persons employed in the latter part of 1939 was one and one-half million above the total of a year ago "Profits increased to a very mark ed degree, particularly in the late months of the year This bas meant higher dividend payments, as well as larger business savings available for reinvestment Foreign trade in 1939 continued to provide an outlet for a signifi cantly large portion of the produce of farms and factories and was a vi tal factor in our economy The value of goods shipped abroad was approx imately the same as the total of slightly more than $3,000,000,000 in 1938 Martins Returning to The Hardwood Tonite | SkUTKK OF TOBS v Frank Rodgers. skipper of the Wilson Tubs, is signing up a bis regiment of rookies for the com ing season. He, with Allie Flem ing. lias signed nine of the boys of the baby classification to date. Bu si ii ess Ch art in {i tier nines Difficult The charting of any reliable line -f or f tm? te 11 inft-the course of business in 1940 gets more difficult as the year gets into stride and rather wide ly varying figures come to hand from different sources. About the only point of general agreement is that "before the year is out." we shall see a strong revival ol the re covery trend. No on<? scorns willing to "say when," though. Meanwhile, here are two hearten ing notes American women this win ter have been buying 25 per cent more fur coats and neckpieces than in the same months of the 1938-39 season?which rnav indicate there is some good in the "ill winds" that have made things so cold gem-rally this winter, but also reflects great er profits, wider employment, gains ui purchasing power, And the latter lis also mirrored clearly in a 10 per cent rise in jewelry sales for the fi nal quarter of 1939. since this is an almost 100 per cent luxury field, and is entirely ai ihe mercy or tluctua tion's' in the business cycle a stimulus to our domestic economy in 1940. such prospects must remain highly uncertain under existing cir cumstances, and the outlook must be appraised largely in the light of domestic conditions." Play ^ ashington Gunners, A Strong Semi - Pro Outfit Tii Meel Three Strong Teams Here During Next Week Williamston's Martins will return to the hardwood battles tonight when they journey over to Wash- I tngtfiA it> meet the same team which they recently defeated in the finals of the tournament held in the Beau fort County capital This team, play ing under the colors of the Washing ton Gunners, will have the one and only Jim Waller, and his former teammate at Wake Forest, Boyd Owen, -in the starring roles, proba bly aided and abetted by some other "ringers". As will be recalled, the last meeting of these two teams pro duced a mighty good conflict, and another fine and hotly-contested bat tle is forecast for tonight The game will be played in the Washington Armory, and will begin at 8 o'clock. Let's all go over and give the locals plenty of support. Local basketball fans will be giv en an opportunity to see four of the best basketball teams in the State next week when the Martins play host to three invading clubs. On Tuesday night, the fast-stepping five of Atlantic Christian College will play the locals in a return game. Wednesday night. Manager Lionel Weil will bring his crack Goldsboro All-Stars here to battle the Martins, and on Thursday night the Martins will entertain the strong Erwin Red' Birds. The locals have met and lost to all three of these clubs during the current campaign, in games played on the victor's court, and you can rest assured that they will be out for revenge in each of these contests. They ex pec t to have the squad in top physical condition by then, and will be in a position to offer the fans some brilliant basketball. All the invading teams will be studded with stars, and it is a rare chance for the local fans to see three such top flight teams against the Martins in so short a time. All games will be gin at eight o'clock. ?Tickets will be placed on sale in advance by the Junior class of the high school, in an effort to raise money fui tlieir^ Annual Junior-Sen -' ior banquet. The price,for the three games is reasonable, so buy a block of tickets to help a good cause, and see some good basketball at the same time. Mrs.lCF. Bullock Died Last Monday Mrs K.
