Williamston To Play Goldsboro All-Stars Here On Wednesday Co into Action .Against Atlan tic Christian College Here Tonight ? Williamston's Martins will return to action tonight at eight o'clock when they meet the Bulldogs of At lantic Christian College in the local gym. This is a return meeting of the two teams, and the Martins will be seeking revenge for a defeat hand ed them a month ago by the Christ ians, in a game played in Wilson. He Bulldogs are boasting one of their best teams in recent years, and the Martins will be hard pressed to turn in a victory tonight, but they will be giving their best, and the en tire team is expected to be in top shape. The Bulldogs are coached by Bill Herring, who needs no introduction to local sports fans. Tomorrow night the Martins w ill battle one of the best semi-pro teams in the state when Manager Lionel Weil brings his Goldsboro All-Stars to town to face the locals. The visi tors have a record of 25 wins in 27 starts for the season, and one of those wins was over the Martins early in the current campaign. The All-Stars present a well-bal anced team, headed by Doigt Mor ris, Don Dixon. Jimmy Peacock, Glenn Smith and several other star players, but the Martins will be loaded with good talent, also, as Don Brock and George Lauteres will be wearing Martin uniforms, along with the local boys. The game for Thursday night be tween the Martins and Erwin Red Birds has been cancelled, due to the Birds being unable to make the trip here. Although Manager Critcher has a game pending with the Wake For est All-Stars, to be played here, it is probable that the Martin-Goldsboro games this season, so come out to night and tomorrow night and see two good games. ? b Getting Along Very Well Mr. Harry Waldo is getting along very satisfactorily at his home in Hamilton, following an operation in a Richmond hospital several weeks Jamesville 'Dudes' Win From Colerain By JIMMIE KEDOICK The Jamesville All-Stars changed their name last night to the James ville Dudes and defeated the Cole rain Red Devils by a score of 63-30. The Dudes have a very unique uni form, red pants, white dress shirts and black bow ties. "Spit" Martin led the Dudes with 20 points, while "Shorty" Corey was next with 14. D. Holliday followed with 13 Walters and Brown played excellent floor games and the uncan ny shots and passes of Walters were superb. _ ______ Thursday night the Dudes will journey to Elizabeth City to play the Aces. The Dudes won their first game with the Aces by a score of The Jamesville All-Star girls, led by the Martin sisters, Margie and Louise, will also play that night in the Pasquotank capital. The following night (Friday) the Dudes will meet the Red Devils of Colerain in a Terurtt battle in the Jamesville gym and a fine display is expected from the Jamesville stars. On that same night the Jamesville girls will meet the Chowan College girls in the opening game. The Dudes have won six out of seven games this season, the defeats including Williamston, Elizabeth City, and Washington. The girls have not been defeated and have won ov er such teams as Elizabeth City and Washington. 1 Teachers Take Time To "Spank' Students On Basketball C.onrt Tho Williamston teachers will step down from their pedagogical pedes tals on Thursday night to challenge the local high basketball teams for me cAmpos supremacy.?The first game will begin at 7:30 o'clock in the high school gym and there is "no tell ing" when it will stop The men's division will feature such big stars as C, B. Toxey. Bob Barrett, C. B. Toxey, Captain Hix, Sam Edwards, C. B. Toxey, M B. Dunn. J. C. Manning and Mr. Tox ey. According to latest bulletins the men are engaging the services of Williamston's king trickster, Pappy Diem, to outwit the Green Wave quint. A regular parade of talent will be displayed by the squad of the fair sex including Irene Mizelle, Mil dred Talley, Dorcas Knowles, Grace Talton, Mary Benson, Josephine Har rison, Dorothy Godwin, Betty Ev erett. Kathryn Mewborn, Nanay Glover, Lullian Edwards, t. u. Harn hill, Ethelyn Simpson, Mary Whitley and Ruth Manning. Weather Plays Big Part In Business Everybody talks about the wea ther, of course. And with business people it isn't just "small talk," ei ther, for the weather is a more im portant factor than many realize, in almost all busifregr and industry. For instance, rising incomes on railroads, especially western lines, arc credit ed to consistently heavy coal ship ments this winter as a result of the severe and widespread cold weather. Some roads also see an improved crop outlook for next summer as a result of timely recent snowfalls. And King Winter's almost unpre cedented wallop at the Sunny South will be felt on many a northern breakfast table for months to come, in higher orange and grapefruit prices. Citrus growers of the Rio Grande valley had about half their $20,000,000 crop harvested, at what they termed 'unsatisfactory" prices, before the killing frosts arrived . ? . now they expect price increases to reimburse them for the large part of the crop that was destroyed. Some what the same situation may be ex pected with respect to southern grown cabbage, beets, spinach and other vegetables. On the other hand, canned grapefruit juice may become more plentiful and cheap, as pack ers hustle to "process" large quanti ties of fruit which was ruined for fresh shipment but reclamable for canning. Martins Are Felled By the Washington Gunners, 47 To 37 Amleraon and Beaird Lead Of ? with 19 ami I 1 Points Respectively Washington'i Gunners avenged a recent defeat handed them by the Williamston Martins when they scored a 47-37 victory over the lo cals in a wild and wooly basketball j game, played Friday night in the Beaufort County capital as the tea- ] ture of a doubleheader attraction be fore a large crowd. Washington gained the tip-off. but I the Martins soon took possession of ' the ball and at the 40-second mark Oscar Anderson dropped in a field goal from side court. Beaird was true on a beauty from way out and then Anderson dropped in another to give the locals a 6-0 advantage, which had increased to 10-2 as the first quar ter ended Washington came back stronger in the next quarter and scored 11 points while holding the locals to 3 to make the first half end 13-all The third quarter found Pap Diem leaving the game via the personal foul route, and he was replaced by Ace Villepique, who made his first appearance in a game since before Christmas, due to a long siege of typhoid fever. Ace played a nice game despite the fact that his ill ness left him very weak. Washing ton pulled away from the Martins in this period as everything didn't go so well with the locals and the winners soon built up a lead which could not be overtaken, despite a last period rally headed by Ander sen and Beaird. Outstanding for the Martins was Anderson who scored 19 points and played a fine floor game, and Beaird. who was next with 14. Breezy also turned in another good defensive dis play as he held Jim Waller to seven | field goals, half of which were made" I from crip shots as Waller gathered | up loose balls near mldcourt. Boyd Owen, with 20 markers, was high scorer for the evening.

Swift, Raleigh, state director of the Farm Security Administration. "Appropriations having been lim ited by Congress to only a few loans in each county designated for ten ant-purchase loans, it is estimated that only about 450 to 500 loans can be made in this state this year to buy farms," Mr. Smith said. "How ever, many applications, once on file, may be reconsidered when ad ditional money is appropriated by Congress." Funds are allocated to the various states on the basis of farm population and prevalence of tenancy. In 1938-39, first two years the ten ant-purchase program was in ef fect, 7021 applications were receiv ed for the 395 loans available. The program was started in 1938 in only 17 North Carolina counties, was spread in 1939 to 50 counties, and this year to 100 or to every county in the State. The Bankhead-Jones act was pass ed by Congress in 1937 in an effort to stop the alarming increase in ten ancy. "Hie 1935 census had disclosed that 42 per cent of American farm ers as compared with only 20 per cent fifty years ago, and that a third of these tenantss, or about a million families, move every year at a huge cost to themselves, their landlords and the nation. Mr. Swift pointed out that tenants usually move in mid winter, taking children out of school in the middle of the term, and leaving friends and community ties. He further pointed out that tenants with short-time leases do not havC the same incenHve cMe to improve buildings, to plant ct^er crops or plan other soil-building practices as do farm owners.

He has carried projects running all the way from personal health to j growing turnip greens and was suc cessful in-nearly all of them."
