After maintaining an almost perfect record week before last, motorists on Martin County highways last week returned to the old business of cutting cap ers. Two motorists tried to straighten out curves and a third drove in front of another While they are classed as accidents, they would appear to be little more than a deliberate effort to wreck something. The following tabulations of fer a comparison of the accident trend: first, by corresponding weeks in this year and last and for each year lo the present time. 4th Week Comparison Accidents Inj'd Killed Dam'ge 1942 3 2 0 $ 900 1941 310 35 Comparison To Date 1942 7 4 0 $1530 1941 4 2 0 95 Infantile Paralysis Council Formed in County Last Week (Continued from page one) had helped so many less fortunate children to overcome the effects of paralysis. Mr W I Skinner, chairman of the present campaign for funds, stated that one-half?of the-money raised would be sent to the foundation to help support research w?oTk and the Warm Springs Foundation. The qth er half will be held in a special fund for the use of any child in this coun ty. Mr. Skinner stating that it is quite possible that funds may be pro-1 cured from the foundation to supple ment the work in this county when needed. American Troops In Ireland For All-Out ^ ar Against Hitler ..(Continued from page one) ing disclosed, there is evidence of a stronger opposition developing against the yellow-ooated Japs in the Southwest Pacific. The tempo of the war in that area was Nmater iaMy increased over the week-end when at least thirty-four Jap ships, including an airplane carrier, cruis ers and many troop transports, were t ither sunk or badly damaged in the Macassar Strait Working in perfect cooperation sea and air forces of the American and Dutch virtually wreck ed a big Japanese convoy between Borneo and the Celebes Islands last Friday. And then there was another torpedo boat dash into Subic Bay in the Philippines in which Ensign George Cox. of Watertown, N. Y., drove a torpedo into a 5,000-ton Jap ship. J??? In all the fighting, the allied forces did riot lose a single ship or plane and only four men were wounded. British forces are suffering re verses 111 Libya, but the approxi mately 150-mile gain by the Axis is not causing a great deal of concern, the observers stating that some solu tion there can be expected. In Malaya, the British forces have been thrown back from their main lines, and the Japs continue their push toward Singapore. While en dangering Australia the action in Malaya and in New Guinea does not in the eyes of some observers mean that Australia will be invaded. Prime Minister Churchill voiced that be lief in a bitter debate in the House i of Commons this afternoon Church ill did warn that additional re verses were to be expected. Church ill threw light on Rudolph Hess's flight to Scotland months ago. "He came to overthrow our government and to set up ^another that would bow down to Germany's peace terms. In the Philippines no ground fight ing has been reported past 24 hours, meaning that MacAr thur and his men are still holding at Bataan. The British admitted the loss of a battleship sunk last November with the loss of more than 500 lives. Quentin Reynolds, in a broadcast last night, stated that Britain had lost five times as many men than her other allies, not including Rus sia. that he had seen the British dead nitting in the Libyan desert, and he referred to the Prince of Wales, the | Repulse and hundreds of other ships ; lost by England. He recalled the thousands killed in Coventry, in Plymouth and in other areas of the Isles. Russia is continuing its march ? toward Berlin. Substantial gains have made in the past few days, and the casual German retreat is taking on a far more serious aspect for Adolf Hitler who has moved his base almost to the Polish border. Late reports state that the Japs in the five-day naval battle at Macas sar had' lost 25,000 men, that sinking of a plane carrier had be< established and that another Jap bt tleship had been sunk today, runnii the~Tdtat,to"29 ship losses in the fi days. Argentina and Chile are trying persuade Brazil to reconsider i break with the Axis, and the Rio < Janeiro conference, scheduled to ei today, drags into another day. Dr and Mrs. John D. Biggs re turned yesterday afternoon from a pleasant and enjoyable trip to Mex ico City. Mrs. R L. Coburn, Mrs. V. J. Spi ey. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Parker a children.

Trucks and Tires The WPB ordered all production of passenger cars and light trucks for any purpose halted February 13V The announcement of the order said all military demands can be filled from hte stockpile of autos that will be on hand by that date and which ! cannot be sold without Government: permission. OPA announced that! [ there is no prospect of rationing for used cars or of commandeering of private cars. OPA amended the auto freezing order to permit transfer of title to any vehicle under the terms of installment contracts drawn up before January 1st and repossession of any vehicle involved in a breach of such contract. The agency also amended its tire freezing rules to allow some clergymen to purchase new tires and tubes. OPA put a ceil ing price on materials used in re treading used tires Transportation The Interstate Commerce Commis sion granted railroads permission Ui increase passenger fares 10 per cent. Exempt from the increase are spec ial fares granted to military or naval men on furlough Permission was also granted to the Railway Express Agency. Inc., to make an emergen cy additional charge of 10 cents per package sent at first, second or third class rates. Army The President said the United Na tions are collaborating--with-the? S. to effect transfers to the Ameri can armed service of the Americans who had enlisted before the war un der foreign flags. War Secretary Stimson announced completion of plans for the formation of a 6th Ar inored Division and two additional all-Negro units; an infantry division and an air pursuit squadron. The House passed and sent to the Senate legislation appropriating $12,500, 000,000 to provide 33,000 new Army planes and equipment for them. Navy President Roosevelt asked Con gress for $15,960,000,000 for the Navy and signed a bill authorizing establishment of a special limited service Marine Corps composed of World War veterans and older men to be used in patrolling and guard ing vital facilities. The Navy an nounced that students in school or college who have not yet reached their 20th birthday may enlist in the Naval Reserve with permission to complete the current school year be fore reporting for duty. Civilian Defense President Roosevelt asked Con gress for $100,000,000 to be used by the OCD for air raid protection of civilians Congress authorized the appropriation and formally placed the responsibility for civilian pro tection with the OCD. The FBI an nounced it will conduct special war traffic schools for police Of 120 strategicly located cities. The War Department announced that in coop eration with the OCD it will estab lish six more schools to teach civil ian defense workers protection against chemical weapons such as in cendiary bombs. tabor Labor Secretary Perkins reported hourly earnings of wage earners in manufacturing industries rose 15 per cent to a new high of 78.1 per cent?15 per cent above the same time last year. Average hours work ed per week (40 3) hours) were 4 per cent above last year and week ly earnings ($32 81), 2 per cent high er. Agriculture The Department of Agriculture announced it will increase purchases of eggs to support market prices at a level at least 85 per cent of par ity! The Commodity Credit Corpora jtion announced it will ofer 100,000, 000 bushels of wheat for sale to aid livestock ^producers to attain new production goals. Agricultural Mar keting Administrator Henderson re ported more than 2,650,000,000 pounds of agricultural commodities valued at $300,000,000 had been ship ped to Britain under the Lend Lease program up to December 1st. He said the war in the Pacific had not changed the basic program for agri cultural operations?"we are contin uing heavy purchases to make avail able the vital supply of foods for England and Russia." Priority Unemployment President Roosevelt asked Con gress for $300,000,000 to aid workers who lose their jobs temporarily be cause of conversion of civilian in dustry to war production, if the worker is willing to take special training to fit him for a war indus try job. Under the program workers would receive a weekly benefit pay ment equal to 60 per cent of regular earnings, but in no case more than $24 a week in henafits for 26 weeks, __ ? WtCR3. I7ie Federal grant would make up the difference between unemploy ment compensation paid by the State and the 60 percent war dislocation benefit. The WPA announced it is working e program U>-shift-to WPA tolls. those workers dislocated by the war who do not fall within the scope of the program outlined by the Presi dent. Rationing Of Sugar Is Scheduled To Go Into Effect Shortly (Continued from page one) imports from Hawaii have been ma terially reduced. It is believed, how ever. that purchases in Cuba can be increased to offset the losses from Pacific sources, but the bulk of the Cuban crop will not be available within the next six or eight weeks. For Defense Wearing an all-cotton "k^ep 'em flying" mechanics suit designed for women working in defense in dustries, pretty Carol Lloyd of Memphis goes all-out for defense bonds and stamps. The snit * orn is one of a number of eottor gar ments designed by. the Bureau of Home Economics and leading man ufacturers. for heary duty wear in defense factories. Definite Trend Is Feature Of Varied Activity Programs (Continued from page one) publicity he received some years ago when he visited President Cool id ge and Congress. "Things" merely coasted along un til about the middle of May when in terested citizens met in Roberson ville and laid the foundation for a county-wide library service. The tentative program was approved by county authorities on Juno. 3 and on June 24th the Tri-County or Region al Library unit was created. Its work has been reviewed. In June. Martin County citizens showed their first signs of patriotism when they over-subscribed a quota for the United Service Organizations. On July 1. 135 young men register ed in the second draft registration, and three weeks later truck loads of scrap aluminum were collected, 'marking the ever-increasing trend m preparations for war. During the meanwhile, Martin farmers, despite dry weather, were growing a valuable tobacco crop, the markets opening on August 26th with prices approximating those received in the first World's War. While blazing no strictly experi mental trails, the county, anxious to keep up with the times, instituted a permanent grand jury system on September 15th. While its work has not measured up to all expectations, much is expected of it in the future. The potential 'strength of the na tion's armed forces was displayed on Williamslon streets on September 27 when 3U2 motorized vehicles moved from Camp Pendleton through- here for the Carolina maneuvers. The peace-time movement faded out of the picture and on December 10th, three days after the yellow Japs made their sneaking attack, an eight hour convoy, moving several thous and men with guns in hands, field guns and "other equipment, traveled through here for positions apparent ly along the coast. Movements have been advanced on fairly frequent schedules but not- on ?uch a large scale since that time and today the movements are almost commonplace. On October 6, Martin County had its first full-time tax collector ap pointed. Good times were reflected in the small delinquent tax list published in October.. Williamston's public library was dedicated in appropriate ceremonies on November 10th. Minor and trivial, the happenings may be in the eyes of the world, the events recorded pointed to a balanc ed program of business, industry and culture for Williamston and Martin County. But now the war! What hap pens to our economy now is of small moment compared to the task of preparing for anH u. inning final vic tory. But with a united and unself ish effort, Martin County with its balanced programs and vast re sources can expect to hold its place in the forward movement be it for war or for peace.
