The slot machine racket asserted its power this week when a threat was addressed to Judge R Hunt Par ker. While it is apparent that the backbone of the racket has been broken, the big bosses and some few proprietors who house the gambling devices are strong in favor of defy ing the law. according to late inform at ion received here It was also learned here this morn ing that punchboard distributors were gathering up the boards in this county. Possibly no outward action will be taken within the noxt few days or even weeks, but if the gambling devices are maintained and the racket is allowed to continue, ac tion by the March grand jury in this county is certain Six New Cases On Recorder's Docket With sixteen cases already on the docket for trial next Monday, Judge W Hubert Cobum is surely earning his pay since taking over the bench in the Martin County Recorder's Court Ten cases were continued during tin session on Monday, December 2.

She has been chairman of the production unit of her chapter and Kinston is now among the first 75 chapters of the whole country for drugs, gar ments and supplies sent to war torn England, Greece, Finland and Pol and. but principally to England. She -made a mmt appealing request to the women of Williamston to organ ize a unit in cooperation with the local chapter. She stated that Wil liamston had one during the World War No. 1 and that help is needed badly by our friends and allies now ! suffering so from the wholesale de struction being wrought on them. She pleaded for Americans every where to join in this great work. She gave explicit rules for setting up such an organization and show ed some samples of the warm and serviceable clothing being turned out by the Red Cross. The local club in featuring high way safety and organization of production units was working with the State Federation which has selected these as its main objectives for the year. At a short business session it was voted to give ten dollars to the local cheer fund and five dollars to the Greek refugee fund }fticers Wrecked Five Distilleries The illicit liquor business is ex periencing repeated set-backs in the county this holiday season accord ing to a report released late yester day by ABC. Officer J. H. Roe buck Raiding in two districts two days this week, the officer, accompanied by Deputies Roy Peel, Julian Roe buck and A B C. officers from Beau fort County, wrecked nine plants, six yesterday in the Free Union sec tion of Jame8vi!le Township and three in Bear Grass the day before. Anticipating the raids, the opera tors successfully hid the kettles in most cases. The officers poured out nearly 2,500 gallons of b?*r Famine According to New York medical opinion, famine is inevitable in Eu rope, and only a miracle can pre vent the outbreak of diaeases that have followed mass starvation since man's earliest history. Location Of Air Bane In Tyrrell I* Certain The location of a non-rigid air base in Tyrrell County near Travis is now considered almost certain, accord - ing to unofficial reports released this week. Few details have been made public in connection with the pro posed location of the base in this sec tion of North Carolina. Two Colored Men Enter The Army James Earl Hyman and Walter Louis White, colored, are reporting today for service in Uncle Sam's Army at Fort Bragg under the Se lective Service Act. Receiving their tickets and credentials from the county draft board this morning at 10:30 the two men left by bus for the induction station a short time later. In case they do not pass the physi cal examinations at the fort, Daniel Williarps and James Oliver Andrews will be called into the service im mediately. * As far as it could be learned from the county draft botftd here today, Ellis Clifton Wynne and Leslie Worth Pierce, the first two white men to enter the army from this county under the Selective Service Act, were acceptea into the service last Tuesday. All members of the draft board were present for a meeting here this morning and to see White and Hy man off. Classification work is be ing handled by the board, prepara tory to filling a large quota expect ed the early part of next year Assured that more men would be entering the army soon from this county, Hyman said, "Send 'em on down and we'll take care of them." White, commonly known as "Light ning" in and around the hotel where he had worked for several years, was a bit worried over his drinking wluskey. "If 1 just can get out once in a while, 1 can take care of that," he was quoted as saying. The draftees were escorted to the bus b ya few of their friends, but without formal ceremony and fan fare. Market Is Literally Swamped With Big Peanut Deliveries (Continued from page one) many lots of peanuts before they arc thoroughly dry, together with gener al heavy deliveries to marketing points from the farm, millers have been buying only in small volume and prices offered by millers have weakened," Parker said. But with continuation of government buying throughout the season, Parker point ed out that there is no reason why farmers with a lot of good peanuts should rush them on the market at this time. "Ample funds have been made available for continuing the gov ernment buying program through out the season, regardless of what quantity may be delivered." Par ker declared, "and the only difficul ty any farmer may experience in selling his peanuts to the coopera tive warehouse may be that of a 'bottle neck' in finding sufficient storage space to receive the pea nuts." In those communities where this situation arises, it will be re lieved as fast as possible by moving peanuts from warehouse to oil crushers and securing additional warehouse space where available, he said. According to reports of the State Federal Marketing Service, it is in creasingly evident that millers are going to have a difficult time of it this year in putting out peanuts of the handpick class of even fairly good quality. Reports of millers and buyers indicate that lots of large peanuts suitable for fancy trade are unusually scarce and consequently peanuts of this type are in demand, although the commercial market on other grades has weakened under heavy offerings Miss Myrtle Daniel, head nurse at the Brown Community hospital since it was opened a year and a half ago, has accepted a position in the Edge* combe General Hospital, Tarboro. She will enter upon her new duties there next Monday. Mr. James L. Coltrain continues critically ill at his home in the Farm Life community. Addresses Study Group Wednesday Mr R. S. Marshall, manager of the Social Security Board in Rocky Mount .addressed the Public Wel fare Study Group here Wednesday night in their regular weekly meet ing in the welfare department of fices. Mr* Marshall discussed the mean ing of social security and why we have social security legislation. He explained Old Age and Survivors' insurance which his office adminis ters covering eligibility require ments, industries, pay periods and computation of benefits. Mr Marshall said in his remarks that employers had been extremely interested in their employees as they became eligible for benefits, and they were very helpful in aiding the board with the necessary investiga tions. , Although in this section of the State we have fewer covered indus tries, and many employees are not eligible for this type of insurance, it is necessary that the public be in formed regarding benefits in order that they may know who is eligible," Mr. Marshall said. Those attending the meeting were Martin County welfare staff, Bertie and Washington County staffs, WPA district social workers and field rep resentative for the State Board of Charities and Publi^' Welfare O utility Of Poultry S botes A Marked Improvement A marked improvement in the quality of poultry produced in Polk County has been apparent for the past few years, says S.
