pledge of 4-H clubs who have pledg
ed their organization, heads for
clearer thinking, hearts to greater
loyalty, hands to greater service and
health to better living
She cited the wonderful work of
4-H clubs and showed instances
where members of this organization
had risen to positions of responsi

Among the objectives mentioned
were a doubling of the membership
during the coming year, better plan
ning in the home and on the farm
and more garden crops and more can
^ ning of fruits and vegetables, a great
en of farm tools and machinery next
especially should great cam be tak
en of far m too Is and machinery next
year even IF we have" the money fo
buy, they might not be obtainable.
She said that every one on the farm
could do their bit in national defense
by conserving everything in the
home and on the farm. She was glad
that the young people realized the
crisis of the nation at this time and
were facing the grave problems with
courage and that it is in the youth of
America that our hope is anchored
to keep America safe and free.

Renewing Drive
On Illicit Business
Bobbing up here and there in the
county during the illness of ABC Of
ficer J. H. Roebuck, the Illicit liquor
manufacturing business is now fac
ing a renewed attack, according to a
report coming from the officer yes
terday.
Hardly recovered from an appen
dicitis operation, the officer with as
sistants, has wrecked several plants
in recent days, and if he has no re
lapse the raids will continue in an
effort to curb an attempted come
back by the illicit operators.
Friday night near Dardens officers
wrecked a plant and poured out 100
gallons of beer. Sunday afternoon,
the raiders wrecked a plant on the
Martin-Beaufort line near Sweet
Home Church and captured a 100
gallon capacity kettle. The opera
tors had just completed a "run" and
the fire under the boiler was still
smoking.
Yesterday afternoon Wheeler
Smith, colored, was arrested by Dep
uty Roy Peel as he (Smith) was
walking to the plant with a copper
kettle on his back, making ready to
start operations. A second man was
at the plant but he escaped. The offi
cers confiscated the manufacturing
equipment and poured out 1,400 gal
lons of beer.

are spending from two to four
dollars to operate their cars a

Red Cross Canvass
Progressing After
Miserable Fashion
Totul of SI46.08 Ha* Been
Reported in County Chap
ter Up To Thin Time
Based on incomplete reports, the
Bed Cross annual membership roll
call is progressing after a miserable
fashion in this chapter. Assigned a
quota of $1,100 the chapter through
its roll call canvassers yesterday an
nounced a total of $146 08 collected.
No public report has been filed by
Harry Biggs, titular head of the
drive in this county. Mr. Biggs, as
far as it could be learned, has made
no appeal, direct or indirect, in the
name of suffering humanity or in
support of the drive. Woman's club
members, aiding the membership
drive, have been the only ones heard
from to date. The roll call is slated
to end on Saturday of this week, and
according to the last accounting,
there is yet to be raised if the quota
is to be met a total of $853 92.

Mrs. Sarah J. Perry
Died Early Sunday
Mrs. Sarah Jane Perry, aged Wil
liams Township resident and widow
of Louis Perry, died at her home
early Sunday morning following a
long period of declining health. She
was 75 years old, the daughter of the
late Tom Harris and wife, of this
county.
Funeral services were conducted
at Riddick's Grove Baptist Church
yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
by Rev. W. B. Harrington, pastor.
Burial was in the church cemetery.
Leading an unpretentious and
humble life, Mrs. Perry had exper
ienced many hardships in life. Her
adversities were accepted without
complaint. Some time ago she was
hurt when a horse-drawn cart in
which she was riding was struck by
an automobile while she was going
home from Williamston. A little ov
er a year ago she was forced from
her old home in the islands section
of Williams Township by high wa
ter. She continued to contribute to
her support and even extended aid
to others.
Martin County Will
Hardly Measure Up
To All Expectations
Committee Visiting Farmers
To Give Allotments, I)is
enss Defense Urogram
Plans for the 1942 farm defense
program are being carried direct to
Martin County farmers this week by
members of the community commit
tees who are also releasing the 1942
allotments for cotton, peanuts and
tobacco. Early reports are that this
countv will hardlv measure un to all
the defense requirements. While far
mers have and are expressing a will
ingness to cooperate in the program,
the reports rtrrte that they are asking
information about prices, guarantees
Asked to plant 11,000 acres of pea- j
nuts in addition to their regular al
lotments. the early reports indicate
that the surplus acreage will "hard7"
ly exceed 4.500 acres. Agricultural
authorities explained that the 11,000
acres would over-tax the land, and
asked that the amount be reduced
to 8,000 acres. It is possible that
about half of that acreage will be
planted to peanuts for oil. Reports
from the office of the county agent
today stated that no accurate esti
mate on the surplus plantings for oil
could be had on the few scattered
returns coming in following the com
mittee members' visits, that a great
er participation in the food for de
fense program could possibly be ex
pected in other areas. Out of the first
twelve farmers questioned in pne
township, two said they could not
plant land to peanuts for oil. One
agreed to plant a lone acre for oil.
Seven agreed to plant two acres each.
One said he would plant three acres
and another said he would plant four
acres for oil.
No check on other plantings could
be had. but it is believed that a siz
able increase will follow in the acre
age to be planted to soybeans. The
farmers had little to say about in
creased milk production, but there
is a fairly definite trend toward an
increase in poultry and eggs. Possi
bly 45-cent eggs will support that
trend for ihe present, at least. ~~
Participation in the farm defense
program is entirrly votuntary. If the
farmers do'not see their way clear to
.plant surplus acres to peanuts, soy
i beans and other designated crops and
cooperate with other features of the
i plan there is absolutely nothing that
I any one can do ajxiut it.
The situation is being explained
I to the farmers, and it is entirely up

Prison Chaplain
Issues Challenge
r
Speaking to a religious group here
last Sunday evening, Rev Lawrence
A Watts, head of the religious pro
gram for the North Carolina State
Prison System, pleaded for the aid
of the general public in rehabilita
tion of those young men and women
who have paid their debts to society
in the prisons of our State
The speaker, offering an interest
ing review of the penal system and
describing conditions in some of the
prison units as tragic, declared that
few persons were jailed for stealing
out of necessity "They have not had
the proper moral training in the
home, the Sunday school or the
church,"? the chaplain declared.
"There are three worlds in society
today," Rev. Watts explained. "One
of these worlds knows nothing about
the Bible. The second knows about
the Bible but is indifferent to its
teachings. The third is one in which
the faithful few are striving to leave
a better posterity for others who fol
low," he said, pointing out that most
of the prisoners comes from the first
and second groups.
The minister expressed an abiding
faith in those- unfortunates who are
paying their debts to society. "Out
of the 9,000 persons in the prisons of
our State, I sincerely believe all but
about 200 can be depended upon to
contribute something good to socie
ty. If you were to open the prison
gates tomorrow, all but abut 200
would remain and settle their debt
to society," he said.
He challenged the Christian peo
ple of this State to help rehabilitate
the man or woman who returns from
prison.

Headed by Chief Brooks Parham,
field auditors of the North Carolina
State Department of Revenue are in
the district this week clearing up de
linquent special privilege license and

yesterday morning. They will work
out of here during the next ten days
or two weeks in Bertie, Washington

Russian Capital Is in
Serious ^ay Before
Renewed Nazi Drive
British ami Nazis Struggle for
Control of Libya in
North Africa
?Beating off constant attack for
more than five months, embattled
Russians were said to be in a serious
plight today before Moscow where
they are fighting one of the most crit
ical battles of the war. Piercing the
first lines of defense, the invaders
bolstered by more than 600,000 fresh
troops and about forty equipped tank
divisions are gradually pushing on
toward Moscow, some rcportsrplacittg^
the Nazis within 35 miles of the key
city Russian authorities admitted to
day that Moscow's fate hangs in the
balance. So serious is the situation
before Moscow that counterattacks
have been necessary on the northern
and southern flanks where the Rus
sians made some progress in driv
-mfr-the invading hordes back.
Russian gains in the south were
reassuring, and the defenders around
Moscow with the aid of British tanks
were said to be offering an increas
ed resistance.
While the Russians are fighting
with their backs?tothe- wall in an
effort to save their capital, British
and Nazi forces are struggling for
control of Libya in North Africa.
The forces are fighting what has
been described as a "show-down bat
tle" with American tanks taking part
in great numbers for the4 British.
Both sides^are said to have lost heav
ily in the more than two-day battle,
the fury of which had never before
been seen in the desert.
The British were said to be hard
pressed in the African fight at the
end of 65 hours when their tank
strength began to decline and infan
try forces had to take over. Ger
many was said to be rushing rein
forcements by transport planes, and
a stalemate in the battle was pre
dicted by some.
Japan, maintaining a militant atti
tude. is said to be pushing toward
Thailand with the expressed hope
that there'll be no fighting In Wash
ington the odds are three to one
against a compromise, doubt for a
peaceful settlement of the situation
in the Far EastMiaving re-entered the
picture after hope for a settlement
had been expressed last week.
With complete accord from the
Dutch and Brazilian authorities, the
United States is moving to occupy
Huteh Gniapn in South America, not
far from the-equator. Troops were
withdrawn from the Carolina- ma
m-uvers last week and outfitted a1

Local Mans Leg
P
Amputated Today
Sufft ring a sudden return of Buer
ger's (tiM-ase eat ly-yesterdaymorn
ing. Judge W. Hubert Coburn had
his remaining leg amputated in a
Rocky Mount hospital at noon today.
His condition following?the?emer
gency operation was described as
"satisfactory" by a member of the
hospital staff at two o'clock this af
ternoon The limb was amputated
above the knee, the hospital staff
member stating the operatio*h was
similar to tin* one performed nearly
five years ago when the disease
started spreading to other parts of
his body.
Attacked about five years ago, Mr
Cobuin lay critically ill in a Rich
mond hospital several weeks before
his. first leg was amputated to save
his life. He apparently recovered,
and was apparently getting along
very well until early yesterday
morning when he started to get up
shortly before seven o'clock. He felt
a pain in his foot and returned to
bed. After applying a heating pad to
it for almost two hours, he got up
and was shaving when his condition
suddenly became serious. He was re
moved to the hospital that morning,
and late yesterday his condition was
thought to have shown improvement.
A marked turn for the worse was re
ported this morning, and arrange
ment were made immediately for the
operation.
If there are no complications and
none U expected, Mr. Coburn should
be able to return home within the
next three weeks, according to a re
port coming from a member of the
hospital staff this afternoon.
PARKING
"If voluntary cooperation in
the movement calling for limit
ed parking by local people fail*
to materialize between now and
the week-end, it la quite likely
that representatives of the local
Chamber of Commerce will ap
pear before the board of commis
sioners next Monday and de
mand police action," a repre
sentative of the organization was
quoted aJTsaying today.
Since the voluntary action was
suggested last week, many local
people have cooperated, but It
is understood that a few have in
sisted on leaving their ears park
ed in the main business districts
for hours at a time.

the trial of civil cases ordered an
other recess billowing a brief ses
sion yesterday morning Idle today,
the court will resume its activities
tomorrow morning, unofficial re
ports stating that the tribunal will
adjourn for the term before the day
j is spent Although the court has
I met only every now and then so far
during the current term, quite a few
eases have been removed from the
j docket by agreement Several of the
leases scheduled for trial tomorrow
have already been continued, mem
h'ers of the bar explaining that they
will hardly he called for trial before
next March.
Few persons were m attendance
upon the session yesterday morning,
and the courtroom was virtually de
serted by the time court was recess
cd at 11 o'clock.
The i-ase of Van Council against
Archie Council was settled by agree
ment.
Notice of appeal was givui in tin
case of Mrs. Susie A Hunting against
P. L. Salsbury, the court having
ruled last week in favor of the plain
tiff.
The ease of Willie Bullock against
M. O. Minges has been continued,
the court ordering tin- plaintiff to
file a bill of particulars for the dc
fense. The defense is calling for
dates, names and other information

Make Changes In
Bus Station Here
Crowded conditions in and around
the local bus station of the Norfolk
Southern Bus Corporation will be
greatly relieved following the com
pletion of an improvement program
now underway. The interior of the
station has been slightly altered, and
the loading operations now being
handled on all sides will be center
ed principally in the rear and on one
side of the station.
A greater part of the main street
lot will be paved and surfaced and
loading and unloading sheds are be
ing built back of the station. The
new improvements will make it pos
sible to load and unload seven busses
at one time without parking some of
the busses in the street or on the side
walk. Much of the work has already
been handled and the project will be
completed within the next week or
ten days, Foreman Kader Rogerson
