Missionary Tells
Of Conditions In
Conquered China
???
Dr. Chas. A. Leonard Pleads
For Foreign Mission in
Baptist Church Talk
?
Speaking in the Baptist Church
here last Sunday morning, Dr. Chas.
A Leonard, Sr., told of the tragic
conditions existing in China and
pleaded for a continued support of
foreign missions Dr. Leonard, ac
companied by Mrs Leonard, is
spending a few months in this coun
try before returning to China to
continue his work behind the battle
lines. Talking on conditions in Man
churia, Dr. Leonard said:
"It is hard for us over here to real
ize how little it takes to carry's mis
sionary or preacher for a year. We
were once lost just like the people in
China. Let us not forget whence our
blessings have come. $150.00 will
support a lady missionary for a
whole year Manchdria missionaries
are supported by individuals. There
is so much responsibility that I feel
very humble and little in doing the
bit that I do but there are so many
men and women who can be support
ed by you China is looking to us for
support for those people over there.
The work must be carried on and
unless it is done, all past work will
be in vain Wouldn't you like to have
a church building in Manchuria or
China as a memorial? It is impossi
ble for them to build a church with
out outside aid and it is impossible
for the gospel to go to them unless
we make it possible for the mission
aries to go out in this evangelistic
work.
"We, Mrs. Leonard and I, have
come over here in order that . we
might go back. We have come over
here in order that we might prepare
for future work and go back again.
The Lord wants us to go and lead
those people out there and we are
thankful for those who are making
it possible for us to go. I want you to
realize that there are two sides of
the picture, that it is just as bright
as it is dark This morning I want to
show you the dark side. It is neces
sary for us to see the actual needs in
order to realize the needs there.
First, let me speak of the poverty
of the Chinese people. You can't
realize how poor these people ac
tually are The people are so poor
that before daylight people are pick
ing leaves up off the streets and the
roots of the grass to use them for
fuel. Often they fight over these
leaves and roots The people are so
poor that they are underfed The
Chinese people, who have given
themselves to the Lord's work eat
still less. Yout average meal over
here is such that they would have
at a feast or wedding. Now since Ja
pan has come there and ruined the
set-up, the conditions are even worse.
When we go back around the first
of January, we are planning to go
back in that part of China called
Free China, back of the Chinese and
Japanese lines in order that we might
meet some of the needs in that part
of the world. Our work in Manchuria
has largely been pioneering.
"Where the Japanese have come
in, they have greatly increased the
poverty of the people The spiritual
poverty of the people is as great or
greater than the physical poverty.
"There are several different phases
of practice which 1 would like for
you to look into this morning. First,
there is the practice of foot binding
The origin of foot-binding is so old
that they do not know when it be
gan. A little girl around three or four
years old, little toes are bent over
and bound with canvas and some
times infection sets in and joints and
bones are taken out of the foot. Be
cause of this terrible practice, they
are unable to work and have to hob
ble and hop around and have to
work on their hands. Baby girls are
slapped when they cry over their
bound feet but the mothers tell them
that they had to come up the same
way when they were little girls and
that if their feet are large, they can't
sell them Those Chinese, who have
become Christians, no longer prac
tice this, but millions still practice

Woman Run Down
By Car Saturday
>
Beatrice, 30-year-old colored wo
man, suffered a broken arm and
bruises about the body on Washing
ton Street here last Saturday eve
ning about 8:30 o'clock when she
darted into the street and was run
down by a car driven by Warren
Riddick, young colored man. Her
left arm was broken in three places
and she was badly bruised on her
hip when she was knocked under
another car across the street. She
crawled from under the second ve
hicle and ran away. One report stat
ed that another motorist carried her
to a doctor, but after visiting all the
doctors' offices, Riddick and officers
were unable to find her. Yesterday
morning she reported for treatment.
Riddick was driving slowly on
the street in front of the old Buck
Speller store on Washington Street.
Cart were parked on both sides of
the street, and people crowded the
sidewalk and street, making a dan
gerous setting for pedestrians as
Market Has One Of Its Most
Successful Sales Of Season
Selling 268.424 pounds, the local
tobacco market had one of its most
successful sales of the season yes
terday, the entire sale averaging
right at 39 cents a pound The pound
age was much larger than was ex
pected, and the floors were barely
cleared at closing time in the after
noon. However, observers declare
that every bit of 90 per cent of the
crop has been marketed, and that
sales will gradually dimmish from
now until the end of the season Ap
proximately 76,000 pounds were
placed on the floors this morning and
sales were completed before noon.
Prices today were reported hardly
as strong as they were yesterday,
but the sales were interrupted fair
ly frequently by damaged lots, the
good tobaccos holding to the level
reported yesterday.
Dozens of farmers sold the last of
their crops yesterday, but the mar
ket operators are expecting fairly
large sales during the next week or
ten days No closing date has been
definitely mentioned, but this morn
ing it was fairly evident that the
crop will have been disposed of in
its entirety by the latter part of this
month.
Including the day's sales, the mar
ket has sold approximately 5,tiUO.OOO
pounds, the average for the season
standing right at 29 cents. Sales dur
ing the past few days have consid
erably boosted the average, several
sales ranging as high as 40 cents hav
ing been reported for entire breaks
in first one and then another of the
houses.
No general per acre price average
has been figured, but individual far
mers have reported receipts running
as high as $550 and $600 an acre
Gymnasium Projects
Approved In County
DEFENSE BONDS
The people of this section may
be for an all-out defense, but re
liable reports clearly Indicate
that they are not quite ready to
help finance It. Repeated appeals
have been made, urging the peo
ple to help finance the defense
program and at the same time
lay aside extra cash to help
cushion the shock that is certain
to come when the present de
bacle is ended. The purchase of
bonds by small-scale folks is be
ing urged, but apparently most
of the sales have been to those in
the higher finance brackets.
Since May 1, the people in this
immediate community or section
have invested $25,381.25 in de
fense bonds. The sales were un
officially reported by months,
as follows:
May, $2,137.50; June, $0,018.75;
July, $8,525.00; August $3,131.25
and September, $5,568.75.
New German Drive

Reported Underway,
Tim-*- Million Men Are Said lo

One of the greatest offensives in
war annals was reported in the mak
ing this morning when unconfirmed
reports declared that three million
GermAis, 5,000 tanks and 5,000
planes had been turned on Moscow.
Russian ? reports, ignoring?the?news
telling of the vast offensive, declar
ed that the Soviet lines were hold-'
ing and that costly attacks had been
made at widely scattered points
against the invaders. Germany's high
command merely stated that the of
fensive was advancing according to
plan, offering no details and making
no staggering claims which have
been embraced in most of all the
Nazi reports.
Spending nearly four months in
Russia, Hitler apparently is disap
pointed with the progress of his arm
ies there. Failing in his drive against
Leningrad, Hitler is apparently shift

ital and to the rich Ukraine basin
and Russia's valuable industrial
Military observers in London to
day were quoted as saying that Hit

quick and decisive drive into Rus

in on him. There is no doubt but
what some great offensive is brew

making every effort to seal his east

west and to the task of invading the
British Isles.
All is not well with Germany's al

ed, Board Orders
Virtually "abandoned when the
Works Progress Administration
shifted its straggling forces from
public and semi-public projects to
strictly defense undertakings, the
proposed gymnasiums for Farm Life I
and Bear Grass yesterday were tak
en under the financial wing of the
county by the board of county com
missioners at the- suggestion of the
board of education. The authorities
approved a $5,000 loan which will
be handled through the State liter
ary fund for building the playhouses,
repairing school buildings in Ham
ilton and Hasscll and completing the
vocational building in Oak City.
A baffling situation surrounded
the proposed gymnasium projects.
The WPA had agreed, or virtually
so, to cooperate in the construction
?ernhe two buildings War plans up
Iset the program and the WPA was
forced to virtually withdraw when
its dwindling forces reached almost
bottom and a shift was made to de
fense projects Patrons in the two
districts had already made liberal i
donations, and it was to match those
donations that the loan was approv
ed.
Approximtely $3,500 was set aside
for the gym projects, the remaining
$1,500 to be spent equally on repairs
jo_fee__niade at Hamilton and Has
sell and the remaining $500~TO~btr^
spent in completing the vocational
building ill Oak City.
It was later learned that tlie Farm
Life patrons will pool their labor and
build the gymnasium there and
that possibly some WPA labor will
be made available to the Bear Grass
project as soon as the Oak City vo
cational building is completed. It is
understood however that most of
the labor for both projects will have
to come from private ranks Each
school will share equally in the $3,
500, it was pointed out. If Farm Life
can build its gym for $1,000, the re
mainder of its share of the $1,750
will be used for equipping the build
ing, according to one report heard
following the.meeting otthe ..S|ra
ti?n group here yesterday.
The new Parmele colored school
was inspected, and the new teacher
age in Robersonville was also in
spected and approved. Occupancy
expected possibly tomorrow, will be

Farm Bureau Drive

The Martin County Farm Bureau
membership drive, launched in ev
ery section of the county week be

vanced but incomplete reports indi
cating that the organization has al
ready added more members to its
rolls than ever before. Some believe
the drive is nearing its goal of 1 000
members.
Hard work on the part of many of
the membership canvassers has been
reported One canvasser claims that
while he was serving as a pallbear
er at a funeral some few days ago
? competitor in the campaign was
writing memberships on the fringe
of the crowd. Another report tells
how one member is helping finance
membership in the organization, and
still another tells about bargain
memberships with the 'canvasser
making up the difference. Contrary
to reports, the canvassers are receiv

the satisfaction of knowing they are

Lend-lease Expediter Harriman
and Lord Beaverbrook. heads of the
y. S. and British missions to Moscow, i
announced in a joint statement the!
United States and Great Britain have
?decided to place at the disposal of i
the Soviet Government practically!
every requirement for which the So-1
viet military and civil authorities
have asked " The President told his
press conference his rule of thumb
of 50-50 allocation of war material
production between this country and
anti-Axis foreign powers is still in
effect on the average.
Agriculture Secretary Wickard.
speaking in Memphis, Tenn., said
this country has shipped or bought
for England about half a billion dol- j
lars worth of food, and "within the I
next year we expect to ship or buy
at least another billion dollars
worth " Federal Loan Administrator
Jones announced the third disburse
ment of $75,000,000 on the $425,000.
000 loan to tsriiaihTHe also announc
ed a second disbursement of $20,
000.000 of the $100,000,000 authorized
for the Amtorg Trading Corporation,
a U S. corporation owned by Rus
sian interests.
Freedom of Religion in Russia
President Roosevelt told his press
conference that W Averell Harri
man. chief of the American Mission
to Moscow, has been specifically in
structed to take up with the Russian
Government the question of religious
freedom in the Soviet Union. Earlier
he issued a statement that "it is
hoped an entering wedge for the
practice of complete freedom of re
ligion is definitely on its way" in
Russia.
Post-War International Cooperation
Supreme Court Justice Jackson
told the annual convention of the
American Bar Association that "at
the end of this war we must either
throw the full weight of American
influence to the support of an inter
national order based on law, or we
must outstrip the world in naval and
air and perhaps 411 military force."
The tragedy and irony of the present
position of the United States, he said,
is that this country which would not
join a League of Nations which ad
vocated economic sanctions, is "now
imposing those very sanctions against
half the world in an effort to turn
the fortunes of war."
Inflation Control
Price Administrator Henderson,
speaking in New York, said that the
country is now experiencing the
"jagged, irregular price advances"
with which inflation starts. Unless
inflation is restricted, he said, it will
prevent arming and undermine the
priorities system because "the get
ting of materials will depend not 011
tin- buyer's need but the seller's
greed ?
He said a doubling of prices means
a reduction in value by 50 per cent
of every insurance policy, annuity,
savings account, pension or other
form of savings.
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau,
speaking 111 Chicago, said the Treas
urv is anxious to divert into defense
j stamps and bonds spending produced
by pay increases and bonuses. He
suggested every Christmas bonus be
paid in defense bunds or stamps.
Partially to combat inflation, the
President plans to ask Congress to
extend tin- Social Security program
to 80,000,000 persons double the
number now covered. Increased pay

Committee Admits
Nothing Has Been
Done At Cemetery
Col Id-lion of lluck. Taxes Now
Underway; Warrants Due
Within Short Time
Representing the chamber of com
merce, a special committee appear
ed before the regular meeting of the
town commissioners here last eve
ning and asked a minute study of
the complicated parking problem on
local streets While the committee
merely discussed the problem in gen
eral, the spokesman, Mr J, [), Wool
ard, asked that new plans be given
a trial The possibility of parallel
parking on one side of Main Street,
one- and two-hour parking in the
business district, and of opening up J
the back lots to care for overflow
parking wus proposed A weak dis
cussion followed, the board taking
no action other than ordering an
investigation of the possibility of
lighting the backlots and opening
them to parking.
The commerce group also appeal
ed to the board about sanitary facili
ties, and in addition to suggesting
the opening of public rest rooms
mentioned the possibility of mstull
Ing drinking fountains. The sugges
lions were dismissed for the pres
ent.
Reporting to the buard the prog
less made in the round-up of buck
taxes, Mayor J L. Ilussell said that
$225 had been collected, and that u
similar amount is still due. Warning
the non-payers of their obligation
some time ago, the town'Is making'
plans to issue warrants in those cases
where the past-due accounts have
not been paid The first of the war
rants are due the early part of next
week.
While the proposed improvement
program may not be as dead as some
of those old citizens who now lie at
Jest there, a member yf the commit
tee admitted that nothing had been
done about enlarging the cemetery
No mention was made about an all
time keeper for the cemetery. Mem
bers of the committee agreed, how
ever, that something should be done,
and some action is expected within
the next few days. It was pointed out
that the town's street employees had
almost cleaned the weeds and much
of the rubbish from the plots and
drives.
All members of the board were
present for the meeting which was
one of the shortest held in recent
months.

Luther Peel Given
$3,000 A Year Job
In County Shakeup
?
Status of Tax Collection Sys
tem Not Definitely Deter
mined at This Time
$
Breaking away from an age-old
system under which the sheriffs of
fice handled tax collections, the Mar
tin County Commissioners in regu
lar session here yesterday named an
all-time tax collector, the appoint
ment going to Mr Luther Peel and
i-aFrying a salary of $3,000 a year
plus a limit of $900 for clerical help.
The collector, it was pointed out in
the meeting minutes, is to furnish
his own transportation.
The status of the tax collection sys
tem as proposed has not been defi
nitely determined, leaving the new
plan to adjust itself after the new
and all-time collector qualifies for
the job Mr. Peel, accepting the job
night that he could arrange bond
night htat he could arrange bond
required in the sum of $40,000 with
ing a few days. As it is understood
at this time. Mr. Peel is to start off
with a clean slate, so to speak. He
will take the 1941 books from the
auditor's office jfisjt as soon as he
qualifies and sets up his office, leav
ing the 1940 bonks in the hands of
the sheriff for the time being, and
leaving all previous accounts in the
hands of a special collector until
they are properly settled It is the
apparent aim of the commissioners
to eliminate, the jobs handled by
special collectors, meaning that be
ginnihg in 1941 all accounts will be
paid or the collector will turn to the
courts for action In other words,
there'll be no accounts in arrears
from the 1941 levy and future lev
ies,
Mi Peel stated that he would
hardly be interested in the job if all
past-due accounts were placed in his
hands for collection. He is of the
opinion that starting off with
clean slate now, it will be possible to
keep it clean in the future.
Just how much the new plan will
alter the expense of county govern
ment was not set forth in the min
utes As it appears now, the new plan
will add $3,000 to the budget cost. At
the present time, the sheriff's office
is receiving $475 a month The jail
er gets $20 from that amount. The
deputy sheriff jjets $100 a month
from that amount, and tiavel ex
pense, averaging $100 a month, is
deducted from that amount, leaving
about $255 m salary, or about $5 a
month more than the salary and
tiavel to be appropriated for the all
time collectors job.
No plans for opening a collector's
affice were made at the meeting yes
terday, and while the commission
ers recommended one for the cltri
i-al position, the appointment is to be
made by the collector. Kegister of
Deeds J Sam Getsinger was named
temporary collector, and 1941 taxes
are payable to him in the register's
iff ice.
I he commissioners were in session
.intil almost six o'clock, much time
having been- used in discussing the
collection of back taxes and a per
centage of allowance. No definite
decision was reached, the board de
ciding to consider the problem when
i final audit is made.
