Martin Elected To
Head Committee
As 1941 Chairman
(Continu M from page one)
the work handled under the Agri
cultural Adjustment Administration
program, the voters apparently
worked for a redistribution of the
committee representation. Hereto
fore, the lower part of the county has
been without direct representation,
the members, J. R Winslow coming
from Robersonville. W M. Harrison
from Bear Grass, and J F Crisp from i
Oak City
The new Jioard, taking office the
first of next month, comes from
Jamesville. Williamston and Goose
Nest, the first alternate from Cross
Roads and the seeond alternate from
Bear Grass.
The last Saturday morning meet
ing created much interest among the
elected delegates and voting, carried
into three ballots was spirited. The
following nominations were record
ed. J R. Winslow by H H. Rober
son; J. F. Crisp by W. L. Ausbon; W
M Harrison by T. L. Roberson; C. C
Martin by R. T. Griffin; George C
Griffin by T. L. Roberson; W. L
Ausbon by R. T. Griffin; R. T. Grif
fin by George C. Griffin and Charles
L Daniel by D. R. Edmondson. Frosty
Martin copped the chairmanship on
the first ballot and Jesse Crisp was
elected vice chairman on the first
count. W. L. Ausbon and R. T Griffin
tied at 5-all, Griffin winning the
place of regular member and Aus
bon, first alternate on the second
ballot. Daniel, Harrison and Wins
low polled four each and G. C. Grif
fin three on the first. On the third
ballot Harrison was elected second
alternate.
All districts were represented at
the Saturday morning election.
The last three of the community
meetings were held last Friday eve
ning, the office of the county agent
announcing the following results:
Jamesville: C. C. Martin, C. G.
Gurkin. A. L. Modlin. P. M. Holli
day and Dan Fagan. The election of
Mr. Martin automatically relieves
him of the community post and C.
G. Gurkin steps up as chairman, the
others moving up accordingly.
Williams: Vernon Griffin, C. L.
Daniel, O. S. Green, R. J. Hardison
and Floyd Moore.
Williamston-Poplar Point: Luther
M Peel. R T Griffin, J. E. Corey,
M. E. Rogers and W. M Hardison.
His election to the {county commit
tee removed Mr. Griffin from the
community post and J. E. Corey
moves up to the vice chairmanship.
?With one or two exceptions?the
community elections were poorly at
tended, one report stating that sev
eral had to be called in to handle
the business.

THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
Off the main highway* and
at an unexpected place, death
bobbed up again last week-end
to claim it* third life on the
highways in this county, the
Grim Reaper snuffing out one
life and injuring a second per
son.
Received with a marked de
gree of indifference by those
who are left to operate vehicles
on the highways, the road deaths
this year in Martin County are
about half the number of those
from tins county who lost their
lives in the first World War. *
Highway deaths in the first
three quarters of this year ran
considerably below the number
for the corresponding periods in
1939 tiut the frightful business
is off to an hurried start in the
current quarter.
