Episcopalians Hold Church Anniversary Observance Sunday (Continued from page one) In Colonial times this was known as St. Martin's Parish, but was "des titute of the sendees of the Church for a long series of years after the Revolution." Between the years of 1842 and 1850 occasional services were held by the rectors of Grace Church. Plymouth. Through the ef forts of one of these ministers, the Rev Alfred A Watson (later bishop I a church was built, and on the 26th day of April, 1850, was consecrated, and given the name "The Church of the Advent." The Parish was organized on May 25th of that year, and was admitted into union with the Diocese at the Convention in Christ Church, Eliza beth City, five days later. Since this ?hiT?r.ry mn*.*ieal mainly with the life of the Parish for the past twen ty-five years proper respect cannot be paid to the Rev. Thomas B Haughton, and to the many others who have in so consecrated and her oic manner shared in the earlier life of the Church. We have searched the -records and found that the congregation twenty five years ago numbered 70 persons one colored; that services were held on two Sunday each month by a res ident minister, (heretofore services had been held only once a month); and that the Parish was receiving f?. sL ,t TV--*'?-- C f\l) i 111 iinnrlit 4 - v 1 ironi mc Uiyccsr "r[ help carry on the work here. In the Spring of 1916 the Rev. Malcolm Maynard broke the ground for the present building. Photographs taken then show a group of those at tending the service, among whom were A. D. Mizelle and Henry Gur kin, the latter not a communicant of the Church but an interested member of the Bible Class so active then. In the summer the cornerstone was laid and the lovely lines of the Gothic structure began to take form under the appreciative eyes of Mrs. James Grist Staton, the donor, and the other members of the congrega tion. On April 26, 1917, the 67th anni versary of the Parish the new home of the Church of the Advent became a reality with the consecration of the building. The Rt. Rev. Thomas C. Darst was the consecrator; the p sermon was preached bv rector, the Rev. Morrison Retheti.' Miss Helen Maynard was the organ ist. The choir, newly vested for the occasion, led the procession, singing '-'Ria<vc-rftwm*d..wdh light "-Mpmh(>r< of that choir were: Mrs. J. H. Saun ders, Mrs. J. S. Rhodes, Mrs. C B Hassell. Mrs. Alonzo Hassell. Mrs K. B. Crawford, Miss Hattie Throw er, Miss Irene Smith, Miss Mayo Lamb, Miss Annie Lamb. W. G. Lamb, Jr.. Alonzo Hassell. K. B. Crawford. H M. Stubbs. P. F. Apfel; Richard H Smith, Crucifer. Colonel Wilson G. Lamb was Sen ior Warden for fifty years prior to his resignation in 1918, and was in deed the father of this parish Mr. Lamb, "Miss Sallie" Biggs, "Miss Irene" Smith, Mrs. W R. Fowden, "Miss Chloe" Lanier, "Miss Fannie" Carstarphen. "Miss Ella" and "Miss Fannie" Hassell, and Miss Hattie Thrower Ware some of the members of the Church of the Advent who lean but happy years, and go for ward with new vigor upon the com pletion of the new building. In years when there was no minister. Mrs. Fowden would lead the Lenten serv ices. The women of the parish, always busy and interested in doing their part in the work of the church, functioned under the name of the Womans Auxiliary and Parochial Society, holding bazaars and suppers and serving meals at the county fairs to make money to meet the obliga tions of the organization. Later, with Mrs Staton ingenuously reorganiz ing and planning, this group became the present Woman's Auxiliary. For a good many years meetings were held in the homes of the members, but in 1918 Mrs. Staton converted the second floor of an uptown build ing into a Parish Hall, and many of the parish activities were carried on there for g few years We recall with devotion the rec tors who have served the Church of the Advent during the last twenty five years, each making a definite contribution to the life of the Par iah: The Rev. Clarence H. Jordan, 1916 1919; The Rev. J. Harry Garner, 1919-1921; The Rev William B Clark, 1921-1923: The Rev. J. E. War ner, 1923-19241 The Rev. Clarence Or Pardo, 1924-1926 (Who died and buried here): The Rev. Arthur H Marshall, 1929-1931; The Rev Ed win F. Moseley, 1932-1938: The Rev John W. Hardy, 1938-. During 1924 the Rectory was mov ed and a part of the original lot sold to the Standard Oil Company. Some changes were made in the Rectory and the Pardo family was the first to enjoy the newly renovated house In 1929 the Parish was fortunate in having the number of services in creased from two to three Sundays a month Today our records show a mem ber*hip of 138 persons, with services being held regularly each Sunday The parish is self supporting. And the efforts of those who hsve gone before are bearing fruit. Our Service Flag during the World War carried the names of: John W Hassan, who died in the service of his country; Joseph Hubbard Saun ders, Whit Purvis, Luke Lamb, Jack Robert S. Biggs, Charles S.

Farmers Are Asked To Save Old Bags Burlap bags, once plentiful about the farm, are now in about the same position as automobile tires, says Dr. I. O. Schaub, director of the N. C. State College Extension Service. War in the Pacific has cut off nor mal supplies of the material used in making these bags, causing the Gov ernment to announce a bag conser vation program. Secretary of Agriculture Wickard has sent, out an appeal to all agri cultural agencies, asking them to en courage farmers to conserve the bags they receive supplier In and hasten them back into trade chan nels. Dr. Schaub pointed out sugges tions on bag conservation that would further the program. They include: .Open bags by untying strings. Dun t cut the bag. Protect filled bags from rodents. Rats and mice are the Number 1 enemy of bags. Store filled bags in dry, ventilated places. This will protect both the bags and their contents. Remove acid-containing chemi cals (fertilizers, etc.) from bags as soon as possible. Do not place bags near oil, manure, or objectionable chemicals. Empty all bags as soon as possible. They will last longer if emptied, beaten, and hung over a wire. If bags get wet, dry them in the sun to prevent mildew and rot. Sell the bags not needed, so that they may do double duty. Sort bags by fabric (cotton or bur lap) and by size. During the emergency. Dr. Schaub said, it is important that no bag be wasted, that no bag be carelessly damaged, and that all bags be used promptly. ? More Hofft In Martin County Than Ever Before Because of the importance of swine in the Nation's food program, there are more hogs in Martin County this year than ever before, says John L Eagles, assistant farm agent For about the first if not the first time this year, motorists on Martin County highways travel ed around a week without acci dent, according to official re ports coming from the highway patrol office here. The accom plishment, and it is an accom plishment, well proves that safe ty is something real and not merely something to be talked about. Little by little, the accident wreckord is showing up better this year than the one last year did at the same time, the im provement possibly being traced to reduced travel?and to saner driving, possibly. The following tabulations of fer a comparison of the accident trend: first, by corresponding weeks in this year and last and for each year to the present time. . 17th Week Comparison .

Last year, it was pointed out, 95 per cent of land cooperated with the program in this Stat? and there were less than 35 cases where tobac co allotments were violated as com pared wth more than 100 cases in j single counties in 1940. R Flake Shaw, secretary of the N. C. Farm Bureau, briefly address ed the group and explained that Martin County played a prominent part in holding the State organiza tion together, that morale was low in September, 1940, ancf that possibly the organization would have fold ed up had it not been for the pro gressive work advanced in this and one or two other counties. "We know what the Farm Bureau is, but we may forget. It was created to stabilize prices, and it has held to that objective,vf?rtM4y fUffHTg legis lation guaranteeing 85 per cent Wart datory parity loans on farm com modities. He reviewed other farm legislation and the stand taken by the Farm Bureau in supporting or working against certain acts. It is only fair for the farmer to sell on equal terms with others, and parity is designed to provide just that and nothing more. Parity is the kite and farm prices are the tail. Farm prices | can't go up until the kite goes up." Continuing Mr. Shaw expressed the hope that Martin County will keep the faith and continue to push forward, adding that in a post-war economy with parity and soil con servation payments eliminated, we will hit bottom and pull the rest in on us. "We need to carry on with out let up," he concluded. J. E. Winslow, president of the State organization, was called on for a few remarks, and he stressed the need for a strong organization in the years .ahead, "Wc arc assured good prices^ for tobacco, cotton, peanuts and beans, and today about all the farmer has to worry about as far as the farm program is concerned is the weather," he said According to Mr. Winslow ' the lend-lease program will take about 307 million pounds of the 1942 tobacco crop, that the crop was included in the program with the support of the American Farm Bureau with fair prices assur ed. "There'll be many adjustments after this war, and I believe the far mer will suffer unless he has strong organization along with the National Association of Manufactur ers which is spending about two million dollars a year in Washing ton and the CIO which is spending over a million a year," he conclud ed Special guests, including W. T. Parker, manager of the Growers' Peanut Cooperative, of Waverly, Va., and J M. Parker, president, of Ahos-1 kie, were recognized by Farm Agent | Tom Brandon. Aluminum Plant Will Be Erected Detroit?A plant which will in crease by millions oT pounds month ly the aluminum forging necessary to expand aircraft output in the United States will be erected by Chevrolet, it was announced today by M. E. Coyle, general manager. A building permit for the new con struction has been applied for. The new plant will be one of the largest plants of its kind in the world, Mr. Coyle said. Construction and operation of the new factory by Chevrolet has been authorized by the U. S. government. The plant will be built on land adjoining another Chevrolet war production unit. Output of the new aluminum forge plant will augment Chevrolet's large aircraft engine contract, which is already in production. > Alleged Car Thief Said To Be In Virginia Jail a Alleged to have stolen the car of R. E. Holliday in Jamesville last week-end. A. J. Hardiaon, young county white man. was reported to [have been arrested and jailed in Newport News yesterday. The report could not be confirmed immediately by officers of the Virginia city, but County Officers J. H. Roebuck and Bill Haialip left shortly before noon for Newport News to investigate the Atlantic Seaboard War came to the Atlantic seaboard in the most emphatic way thus far, with news that gasoline rationing is really just around the corner?to go into effect May 15th in 17 eastern states. In this area live about 54,000, 000 people, almost two-fifths of the nation's population. Individual mo torists for the most part were philo sophical, but businesses that are de pendent upon the continued com ings and goings of the great Ameri can automobile?and there are a lot of such businesses, come to think of it?found the actual rationing an nouncement a stiff blow. Filling sta tion dealers, of course, were distress ed, and somewhat inclined to pro test that the "dealer rationing" sys ter had been working out all right. The New England tourist industry, used car dealers, and financing com panies which have been depending on used-car financing are three oth er industries severely staggered by doubt about what the actual gallon age of the ration would be?but no doubt that it would be vastly less than the national average consump tion, in 1941, of 55 gallons per month per car.
