4-H Club Youths Enjoy White Lake Outing Recently More Than Hundred Boys and Girl* from Two Counties Attend Camp By VERA PEARL WILLIAMS One hundred and twenty-four Martin and Bertie 4-H boys and girls spent a very enjoyable week at White Lake. June 29th through July 4th. *nie two groups met at Everetts and then traveled together on two large trucks. We left Everetts about nine o'clock and after making three stops reached White Lake at 2:30 p. m. We spent most of Monday after noon unpacking and looking around the camp and registering. It was the first trip for many of the children, and their big interest was the wa ter. the cabins and the dining hall. To most of them the lake was fasci nating. the water at the lake is clear and the bottom pure white sand. Before the week was over Til throw you in the Lake,'-' had become a favorite expression, but none real ly minded being thrown in the lake, not even Mr. Eagles whose birthday was Wednesday. Immediately after we had looked over and become familiar with the camp, an assembly meeting was call ed. The boys and girls were divid ed into four groups?Head, Heart. Hands and Health Throughout the week these four groups competed . against each other in swimming, baseball, volley ball, programs and conduct in" order to score the h igh est number of points. At the end of the week the Head group whose ad visor and captain were Miss Lou Al lie Taylor and Billy Jenkins had scored the highest number of points The Heart group whose advisor and captain were Miss Vera Pearl Wil liams and Henry Harmon ranked second. The daily program began with the sound of a whistle. At 6 45 o'clock the rising whistle was blown, 7.00 a. m. Flag Raising, 7:10 a m.

During the week the youths naa to perform -such tasks as preparing the vegetables, serving the meals, getting up vesper programs and pa triotic programs and cleaning up the cabins and grounds. Wednesday afternoon we rode around the lake on speed boats and Friday afternoon we hiked to Gals ton and Crystal Beach which were about a mile and a half from our camp To many of the smaller chil dren these two beaches seemed like a fair, because they could ride on the ferns wheel, merry-go-round and various other things. We were fortunate to have with us part of the week Miss Frances McGregor, who is assistant 4-H lead er in our State The night that she spent with us she was in charge of the recreation We danced several folk dances, sang the club pledge and then did the grand march. We concluded the evening by singing Taps and then went quietly to our cabins to go to bed. Friday night a banquet marked the climax to a week of work and fun. The dining hall was~cfecorated with native moss and fern. Cold boiled ham, mashed potatoes, combination salad, rolls, grape juice, ginger bread and mints were served. On Saturday morning at an as sembly meeting James Harding and Joyce Quinn were voted as being the best senior campers and Billy Ed wards and Shirley White the best junior campers. Miss Lora E. Sleeper. Martin Coun ty Home Agent, and Mr. John Eagles, Martin County Assistant Farm Agent; Miss Clara Robertson. Bertie Home Agent, and Mr. Bob Smith. Bertie Assistant Farm Agent, and Mr. R. R. Kissam, ? camp director. were in charge of th*> youngsters during the week. Those assisting them were Miss Elizabeth Norfleet, who was in charge of the dining hall; Miss Eva Peele, patriotic programs; Dolly Myers, vesper programs; Mr. I25.H REWARD FOR LEAST IN formation leading to recovery of 10 or 12 pigs stolen from my pen near G and H Builders Supply Com pany Sunday night.

Russia Desperately Tries To Stop Axis ^ ith Counterattack (Continued from page one) A wave of sabotage is sweeping across Europe today as the French people observe Bastille day. The pa triots there are now waving flags and shooting firecrackers, but they are making progress against Hitler I with bombs and hand grenades. I Numbers of wrecks have been re ported following the work of sabo teurs. In Yugoslavia, the chief of the gestapo was reported killed. Numbers of hostages have been rounded up and the firing squads will be busy in the coming days While Russia totters and while liberty-loving people in conquered Europe surrender their lives, this country argues over who'll get rich out of the synthetic rubber business. The Standard Oil Company, appar ently aided by dollar-a-year traitors. hiiS hepn?virtually ciedited?with threatening the safety of this coun try by delaying the synthetic rubber i program. It is a long story and one j that stinks to high heaven. Despite these facts. Donald Nelson. WPB chief, says there'll be plenty of rub ber bye and bye. An oil fire i/i Waynesville today killed five persons and destroyed much property. Another oil fire in Tuscaloosa wrecked a big plant there destroying 1.000 tons of lubricating oils there this morning. H M Ellis, of Raleigh, taught the class in woodwork, and Mr. and Mrs | John Eagles taught first aid; Iaju Allie Taylor and Vera Pearl Wil liams acted as junior councellors. Even though a few of the campers were tired and ready to come back home Saturday morning, a great many of us looked at the camp with a longing eye as we left. We realiz ed that the week had been too short and we wished that it were Monday instead of Saturday; but we bade our friends goodbye and left hoping to return again next year. Even though . we had been complete strangers to the Bertie group the I first of the week, we were good friends after a week of camp life to gether and many friendships were formed that will, not be broken.

No bles, said to have been drinking al so, whipped out his knife and failed to score in an attack on the officer. He then turned on Blount and left a gash several inches long and about half an inch deep in the white boy's back. During the meantime, one of Nobles' knife blows missed its mark and registered in Gee's leg. The officer finally carried his man to the street and responsible citi zens, white and colored, balked Gee and Nobles in their attack on Blount Green, eighteen years old, had volunteered for service in the arm ed forces and in the court Monday he explained that he was to leave today for induction, me coun nol prossed the case on the condition that if he is accepted by the Army the charge will be dropped, but if he is rejected the trial will be sched uled and the defendant will face a charge of an assault and resisting ar rest. The report of the disturbance ac companied another telling how white and colored citizens in the thriving little town had joined together to j more than double the township's USO quota. The report is not at all representative of the community but reflects a mean trend among a few irresponsible persons who once they: are liquored up will challenge law j and order. Final Collections Will Likely Boost The Total Figures (Continued from page one) sonville, handled around 6,000 pounds of the scrap. While there are a few who believ ed that there is a fairly large quan tity of old rubber still uncollected, others believe that the drive was all inclusive, that there is little of the scrap material left in the by-ways and hedges around these parts. As far as it could be learned no plans for shipping the scrap to the manufacturers have been released to the oil distributors, and it is quite likely that the old material will lie in warehouses and lots for some months before it is moved to the channels of manufacture. With some few exceptions, the sales were made at one-cent a pound, the collectors in those few cases turned over the receipts to the USO or other agencies directly or closely associated with the war effort Truck Operators To Get Cards At Office Of Rationing Board (Continued from page one) proximately 1,000 truck owners had their applications prepared during the registration period last week, making it unnecessary for them to make a visit to the board before the cards are issued. Those automobile operators apply ing for supplemental gas rations can hardly expect action until the serv ice and non-highway rations have been issued. Many of the supplement al applications have already been prepared and are now in the office of the rationing board. At the meeting on Thursday, the rationing board will hurry through with its routine business such as tire rationing and start considering gas applications. Those persons desiring sugar for canning are urged to wait until the gas rationing program is completed the latter part of next week before appearing before the board.

Two more accidents were add ed to the wreekord totals in this county last week to continue the doubt that decreased traffic has resulted in a decrease in the number of highway accidents. It is true that the accident picture is better for the first 28 weeks of this year than it was for the corresponding period in 1941, but the improvement is not up to expectations. Apparently much of the wrong kind of traf fic oh the roads is still moving. It is quite possible that the new rationing system going into ef fect next week will have some bearing on the accident figures. 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. 28th Week Comparison Accidents Inj'd Killed Dam'ge 1942 2 1 0?S?438? 1941 1 0 0 12S Comparison To Date 1942 44 27 1 $ 5,943 1941 52 44 2 17.125 The 30th Week Of The War (Continued from page one) cmy cruiser and sank a transport in the Aleutian Islands. In addition, Navy submarines sank three destroy ers The situation in the Islands "has not changed materially," however, in the past two weeks, the Navy re port said The Office of Indian Af fairs announced all of the Aleutian Islands west of Dutch Harbor, as well as the Pribilof Islands, have been classified as parts of a total evacuation zone, liie Office said nearly 1,000 civilians have been re moved from these areas by the Navy and transferred to the American mainland. The first communique from U. S. headquarters of the European thea ter reported six U. S. Douglas light bombers manned by U. S. pilots suc cessfully attacked targets by day light in German-occupied territory in a joint operation with RAF bomb ers. Two American planes were re ported missing. The Navy said U. S. bombers carried out a second at tack on Japanese-held Wake Island. The Navy also announced the U. S, Aircraft Carrier Wasp carried aer ial reinforcements to the British Island of Malta in the Mediterran ean. Gen. MacArthur's Australian headquarters reported repeated air raids on Japanese-held territory in that area. The sinking of 17 more United Nations merchant vessels by enemy submarine action was an nounced. Scrap Salvage The WPB said a new and greatly intensified campaign to salvage vi tal scrap materials will be formally opened July 13th, because the only way the U. S. can meet materials requirements of war production is "to collect every last bit of scrap from every farm and home, and from every commercial enterprise and industry in the country The iron and steel industry has raised about $1,500,000 and the glycerin industry about $500,000 to finance national advertising to stimulate scrap col lection, the Board said. The Farm Implement Industry has offered to assist the country's 12,000 state and local salvage committees in the col lection of rural scrap Materials to be sought in particular are iron and steel, rubber and waste fats. The Rubber Scrap Salvage cam paign will close at midnight July 10. The Public Buildings Adminis tration reported 15,000 pounds of scrap rubber were salvaged from Federal Buildings during the first two weeks of the campaign. The War Department said the Army faces a 250,000 ton rubber shortage by the end of 1943, but present plans do not include military requisition ing of civilian tires. Rationing Price Administrator Henderson said consumers may purchase an ex tra two pounds of sugar between July 10 and August 22, in addition to the basic half-pound-a-week ra tion. He said the new East Coast coupon system for gasoline rationing will grant a fraction of a gallon more per week than temporary A cards, but the conditions that must be met to obtain supplemental rations un der the permanent system are so strict that most motorists will have to get along on the minimum Motor ists will register for A books July 9, 10 and 11. Small boat owners will he issued E and R gasoline ration books and will receive a basic six months ration of four gallons for each horsepower for inboard motors and five gallons for outboard motors. The OPA set the quota of passen ger automobiles for rationing dur ing July at 25,000, excluding state and national reserves, which will re duce the original inventory of about 402,000 cars to about 260,000. Be tween July 9th and August 31st, the office will release 230,000 bicycles for rationing?180,000 to the states, 20,000 to state reserves and 30,000 for a national reserve. Transportation Transportation Director Eastman banned for the duration all automo bile, midget car and motorcycle rac ing meets, effective July 1. also asked that State and County Fairs be postponed for the duration to help relieve the strain on transport facili ties. The ODT postponed until July 15th the date on which over-the-road carriers will be required to be load ed to at least 75 per cent of capacity for return trips and on which tank trucks will be limited to one delivery daily. The office reported the ma jority of milk dealers have put their deliveries on an every-other-day basis and have reduced mileage by an average of 25 per cent. The office authorized its 51 field offices to be gin action immediately upon appli cations for special permits under the truck conservation regulations. Shipbuilding | The Maritime Commission said shipbuilding has not yet equaled to tal sinkings, but delivery of 66 ships totaling 73,000 tons by American shipyards in June set a new world's \ record for steel ship construction and represented an increase of 450 per cent in volume of construction since Pearl Harbor. .The War Ship ping Administration reported the U. S. will operate between 2,200 and 2,600 merchant vessels this year. Housing FHA field offices resumed the processing of applications for prior ity assistance in the construction of privately financed homes for war workers. Processing was suspended late in May. The agency said a new simplified procedure combines pref erence rating applications for the electricity, gas, water and sewer con nections of proposed war housing projects with the corresponding ap plications covering the housing it self. The joint applications will be processed entirely in the field by the FHA offices and by NHA and WPB regional offices. NHA adminis trator Blandford issued a simplify ing order to empower qualified creditors or lenders to decide wheth er a proposed remodeling project is ^wa^housing^VUiu^ exempting the project from credit restrictions set up by the Federal Reserve Board. Army Expansion President Roosevelt signed the $42 billion Army Supply bill for fis cal 1943. The War Department said men now in Class 1-B because of minor physical defects will be in ducted into limited military service under a regular quota system in or der to release fully qualified soldiers for duty with task forces. Only those 1-B's "who are able to bring to the army a useful vocation which was followed in civil life" will be called.
