Princeville Grays
Forfeited Contest I
Several causes conspired to pre
vent the Williamston Quicksteps, lo
cal colored baseball aggregation
from running off their scheduled
game with Pnnceville's Grays Sun
day Among these was ram. liul per
haps the most important was the
failure of the Grays to show up
The Grays had promised swift re
taliation for an earlier loss to the I
Quicksteps So upon their failure to
show up. the Quickstep owner. Char
lie Mack Johnson, promptly credit
ed their absence to their lack of
preparedness and an inability to
handle the Quicksteps in accordance
with their vain boast.
However, to compensate follow
ers of the sport for Sunday's disap
pointment. several of Williamston's
COkifed baaelmH magnates have ar
ranged a classic for Wednesday af
ternoon af-two o'clock between the
fats' and the "leans". Charlie John
son and Noah Hogland will pitch I
and catch respectively for the "fats"
and Willie Bunch and Moses Lin
coln .an employee of the Central I
Service Station, will handle the
battery duties for the "leans". The
contest, which is expected to pro
vide comedy in huge and slim lots,
is being sponsored?by a?- unan
nounced Negro social organization.
Proceeds will not doubt be pooled
towards the lodge's annual outing

THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
Martin County motorists co
operated splendidly during the
past week to chalk up a very
favorable report for the weekly
highway accident record. Not a
single accident was reported on
the highways of the county dur
ing the week, meaning that no
damage bills are to be paid, that
no one is confined to his bed for
treatment, and that someone is
living today who might other
wise have lost his life by one of
numerous unfortunate acts that
have cost the lives of so many
in time past When the accident
record carries a favorable re
port. motorists and others, too.
hove much to be thankful for
because the auto is still claim
ing more lives than war
The 29th week in the year is
proving to be a fairly safe one.
Last year motorists on Martin
County highways traveled an
entire week without accident

Phoney Peace Terms

he has beaten down curse him and

shall sally forth and return blow
for blow
"We shall assuredly not disappoint
them.
"Then will come the day of final
reckoning when Hitler's made plans
for Europe will be shattered by the
unconquerable passion of man for
freedom."
He called upon the British people
to pray "because we know that we
are trying to resist things which
cannot be according to God's will."
and concluded.
"We shall go forward seeing clear
ly both the splendor and the perils
of the task, but strengthened by
faith, through which with God's help
as we try to do his service we shall
prevail."
Earlier in the day Britain's flat
rejection of Hitler's peace offer was
indicated when Minister of Labor
Ernest Bevin called on arms fac-1
tory workers to keep up top-speed i
production "to get this wretched job
over with on our terms."
