Forty-eight persons, nearly half

persons are needed to properly han

inconveniencing anyone The need
for a constant watch has been stress

Opened on a part-time schedule
by Mr and Mrs Hugh Spruill at the
river bridge last December 11th, the
post has reported nearly 1,000 planes
up until a short time ago. "We main
tained a watch from early morning
until almost midnight seven days
each week, and it is possible that a
few went by unnoticed in those few
off hours," Mr. Spruill said. It is an
established fact that the two vol
unteers at the part-time post and
those at the eleven other posts in
the county have done a good job in
so far as they were able to do so
without volunteered assistance.
The observer's task is limited as
far as actual effort is concerned, and
the work is quite simple, representa
tives of the army stating that the
most important thing about the ob
servation program is to have a 24
hour watch maintained.
Several other posts in the county
are making ready to go on a 24-hour
schedule, and it is hoped that the
entire system will be improved. Mar
tin County is trailing in the work,
but renewed interest has been cre
?ted and in nffnr-n.,. system is rrr
tain to grow out of that interest.

Three Curing Barns
Destroyed By Fire
Curtailed by adverse weather con
ditions, tobacco production is under
going still another reduction in this
county. Fire is already making it
self felt in various parts of the coun
ty, three farmers having reported
barn losses so far this season in the
county.
Farmer A. F. Weaver lost a barn
and his first "pullings" some days
ago on his farm near Haasell. Mrs.
C. C. Fleming lost a barn by fire on
her farm near Hassell. Mrs. C. C.
Fleming lost a barn by fire on her
farm near Jamesville last Saturday,
and Farmer J. L. Mizelle, of Goose
Nest, had a barn burned on his farm
there last Tuesday night The first
two barns were equipped with
furnaces, and the third was using
oil burners. Mr Mizelle stated that
no one was at the barn at the time,
that a high heat was being main
tained to "kill out" the stems. In
addition to the loss of the bam and
contents a quantity of green tobac
co was destroyed on racks nearby.
The barn is one of very few to
have been destroyed by fire in this
county. Farmer Mizelle estimated his
loss at about $400.
As far as it could be learned no
insurance was carried on any of the
those hams
Tobacco curing is well advanced
in the county at this time, many
farmers stating that the quality and
color of the curings are good.
To Start Delivering Rations
For County Trucks Saturday
Working day after day, the Martin
County Rationing Board plans to
start delivering gas ration cards to
truck owners and operators tomor- i
row, Chairman C. C. Martin an-|
nounced this morning. Remaining in
extra session and incidently without I
remunerations, the board hopes to
handle the applications for 313 truck
ration cards by late today or early
tomorrow. Late applications will be
considered in the order in which they
are received. Applicants will find
ll nnrnrnnr in noil r?r th|| (n|r|r pn
tion cards at the office in Williams
ton.
Acting in accordance with rules
and regulations, the board is finding
it necessary to tailor or reduce the
applications in many instances but
every effort is being made to allot
sufficient gas to carry on essential
work.
Up until late yesterday applica
tions had been received for 314 non
IMPORTANT
Holders of basic A and D gas
rationing cards for passenger
and motorcycles respective
?y, are warned to examine their
Uttie books and see if there are
Pa*?* ?f stamps between the
covers. In a few cases one or two
of the stamp pages were miss
ing from the books.
If anything is wrong with the
book, the rationing board ad
vises the holder to have it cor
rected not later than July 21st.
No corrections will be effected
after that time, and if the hold
er does not discover the error In
time, It will be just too bad.
Long Session Of
The County Court
Held Last Monday
Sixteen Cases Are Caller! By
Judge Coburn; Vagrancy
Drive Flops
Enjoying a holiday on Monday of
last week, the Martin County Re
corder's court was in a lengthy ses
sion this week clearing the docket.
Judge Robert L. Coburn called six
teen cases, but several of them were
continued. Solicitor Paul D Rob
erson scored convictions in all the
contested cases but one.
The drive against vagrancy in this
county apparently ended before it
got started. No mention of the united
sons of rest was made at the session
last Monday, indicating that every
living person is busily engaged!
Illicit liquor dealers had a hard
day in the court when record fines
were imposed in two cases and the
judge took definite action that will
likely dishearten the illegal opera
tors.
Proceedings in the court:
"Kelly Purvis, charged"" wTth is-1
saulting a female, pleaded not guil
ty. Adjudged guilty, he was released
under a suspended judgment but re
quired to pay the case costs.
Columbus Ward, charged with
drunken driving, was sentenced to
the roads for sixty days. The road
sentence was suspended upon the
payment of a $50 fine and the case
costs. His license to operate a motor
vehicle was revoked for one year.
The case charging C. W Burrus
was drunken driving was continued
for the defendant until August 17th.
Pleading not guilty, Stephen Grif
fin was adjudged guilty in the case
charging him with reckless driving.
A thirty a?y rnnd ficntcnca was bus
pended on condition that he pay the
case costs and $20 for damage done
to Louis Harris' car. The defendant
appealed and bond was required in

-A
Travel Exchange Is
Established Locally
The office of Civilian Defense in
cooperation with the rationing board
is setting up a "travelers exchange."
The exchange will be operated by
the Civilian Defense secretary, Mrs.
Brewer, in the old Farmers and Mer
chants Bank building.
The idea and purpose of the ex
change, according to Mr. Iverson
Skinner, coordinator for the local
chapter, Civilian Defense, is to a
sist in saving gasoline and rubber
and render every service possible to
the public. It will function as fol
lows:
1. Anyone traveling from William
ston is asked to register with Mrs.
Brewer, giving information upon
registering as to where he is going
and how long he will be gone and
volunteer to take someone in his va
cant auto seat; X Anyone desiring to
go out of town and having no means
of transportation should register and
if possible, will be given a seat in
someone's auto that has registered
and is traveling wherever the party
wishes to f?
, This plan is strictly of a local na
ture and the traveling public is ask
ed to cooperate in this effort to aid
in the conservation of rubber and
gas. The telephone number is S40.
highway gas rationing cards. Tliese
will also be considered as quickly as
possible, Mr Martin stating that
quite a few of this particular type of
card would be ready for the appli
cants along with the truck cards to
morrow. All of those applications
now before the board will be made
ready for distribution of cards by
next Tuesday. The supply of appli
cation forms for non-highway gas
rations has been exhausted and it is
quite likely that some farmers and
others will not be ah 1?< tn get their
rations by the time the new ration
?
mg system goes into effect next
Wednesday.
Those persons who failed to get
their basic or car gas rations will
have to wait until next Friday to
register. Those persons needing su
gar for canning are again urged to
wait until the gas rationing program
is completed before filing applica
tions.
Big Number Claims
For Tires Is Carried
Over By Ratiooers
No New Car Tire* Rationed by
County Board in Regular
Meeting Tliur?day
After allotting thirteen truck and
trailer tires, including several of the
obsolete and recapped types, the
Martin County Rationing Board in j
regular session here yesterday car
ried over for later consideration ap
plications for eighteen car and forty
four truck tires. If ever the need for
gas rationing was demonstrated, it j
was demonstrated at the meeting of
the board yesterday. A troubled wi
dow explained that she had been
borrowing and begging her neigh
bors' vehicles to haul hands to help
house her crops, that that means of
transportation was about ended for
her. The application filed by the la
dy is waiting its turn, but there are
so many applications and so few
tires for rationing. For some the tire
shortage is becoming serious; for
others the situation is far more ser
ious than they apparently realize, j
New truck tires were allotted as j
follows:
Roberson Slaughter House, Wil- ,
liamston, two tires and two tubes
for wholesale meat deliveries.
Farmville-Woodward Lumber Co., I
Williamston, tfiree tires and three
tubes for hauling lumber.
J. C. Norris, Williamston, one tire |
and tube for plumbing and metal
work.
John Gurkin, RFD 1, Williamston,
one tire and tube for hauling lum
bor
A recapped truck tire and a tube I
were allotted to W A Manning.
RFD 1, Williamston, for farm use. |
Obsolete tires and tubes were al
lotted as follows for farms:
Redden Tyre, RFD, Williamston,
two trailer tires and tubes.
trailer tire and tube.
Bennie Bryant, RFD 1, Hobgood,
one trailer tire and tube.
Howard Coltrain, RFD 1, William
ston, one trailer tire.
An application filed by Gaines and
Kirkman, Jamesville lumber firm,
for a truck tire and tube, was re
jected.
Applications for 18 car and 44
truck tires were received since the
last meeting. The board, having ex
hausted its current weekly quota,
carried them over for consideration
at a later meeting. It should be noted
that none of them was allowed, and
it should also be noted that because
the applications were filed it does
not mean that the requests will be
met. The applications filed since the
last meeting and carried over follow:
For automobiles:
John Henry Peel, Williamston, two
recaps for farming
Jim Scott, Hamilton, two new
tires and one tube for hauling labor
to and from log woods
Herman H. Williams. Everetts, one
tire for farming.
Alvin Lowe Thompson, two recap
tires for hauling machinist.
Mrs Martha M Rawls, Hassell,
three tires for farm use. |
J. H. Hopkins, RFD. Williamston, 1
two recap tires and two tubes for|
farm use.

Police Here Arrest
Officers Assailant
James H. Mayo, alias James H.
Pittman, was arrested by local offi
cers here yesterday and jailed for
allegedly assaulting John S. Ayers,
late chief of police of Hamilton.
Mayo, claiming he had been in and
around Robersonville, since the al
leged attack the early part of June,
will be given a hearing this evening
at 8:30 o'clock.
Mayo admits taking a walking
stick from the officer as the officer
was arresting his (Mayo's) relative,
but denies he struck the officer. He

UNCLE
SAM
BATTLING TO UPHOLD
America's
Freedom
THE 31ST WEEK OF THE WAR
War Production Chairman. Nelson,
speaking in Detroit, said the U. S.
will hit the "Real" peak of its war
production program by next March.
Mr. Nelson said "our ability to pro
duce is mucn greater ihan any one
dreamed. The armament objectives
as announced by President Roose
velt last winter?and which seem
ed too vast at the time?will be read
ily realized . . Our productive ca
pacity is apparently limited only by
the raw materials available.
"The Engineering Genius of Am
erican Production, when turned from
peace to war. has proved a reservoir
no one could gauge," Mr Nelson
said. "When American men and ma
chines stopped competing with each
other and turned all their competi
tive energy and abilities against Hit
ler and Hirohito, it knocked all
previous calculations of our product
ive powers into a cocked hat . The
real problem now is not one of pro
duction. It is the problem of a bet
ter distribution of the materials from
which war production springs."
Chairman Nelson said "at all costs
We must not get mto the frame of
mind that this is either an easy or a
short job. If people build on false
hopes of an easy victory or a short
war, then they are certain to feel
let down when the bad days come, as
they will . . "
Production and Subcontracting
WPB Chairman Nelson announced
a "Realignment" of the Board to per
mit him to devote his time to essen
tial allocation policies between the
needs of the armed forces and the
civilian economy.
He said essential civilian needs,
such as those for the communications
and transportation systems, must be
met. The civilian economy. though
"Thin," must be kept healthy, he
said. William L. Batt and James S.
Knowlson were named vice chair
men of the board.
Lou E. Holland, formerly presi
dent of the Double Rotary Sprinkler
Corp., of Kansas City. Mo . was ap
pointed WPB Deputy Chairman in
charge of the smaller war plants cor
poration. Chairman Nelson said the
corporation should attempt to con
fine the manufacture of relatively
simple war items to smaller factor
ies, increase the farming out of man
ufacture of bits and pieces of large
corporations which hold prime con
tracts, and encourage conversion of
additional small plants to essential
civilian production.
The WPB said expenditures for
war purposes by U. S. Government
agencies* in June were at the aver
age daily rate of $158,000,000, 6 per
cent higher than in May. Congress

Bus Operators Are
_ facing Big Problem
Taxed with a mushroom business
and unable to get all the equipment
necessary, bus line operators
some cases, it is understood, are
about to give up in despair when it
comes to handling drunken draftees
and some service men.
A group traveling through here
this week had to be transferred from
a regular schedule and placed on a
special bus. The case was called to
the attention of the traffic manager
and when he tried to place them on
a regular bus and save the extra
travel, the group commandered the
special bus and driver and threaten
ed to take the traffic manager along
too.
Returning from an induction cen
ter, approximately eighteen young
white men stopped at several times
and by the time their feet hit the
ground runners opened a trail to the
liquor "control" stores.
While most of them did not "stick"
the group of colored draftees leaving
this county a few days ago was de
scribed as the best behaved seen at
the local bus terminal in many
weeks.
SUPPLEMENTAL CAS
Quite a few ear owners and
operators are appearing before
the rationing board aeeking sup
plemental gas rations under the
new program going into effect
neat Wednesday. It is assumed
that all car owners have suffi
cient rations on their basic ra
tion cards to last them for a few
days after the new program goes
into effect. No supplemental ra
tions for cars will be issued un
til after next Wednesday.
The board is calling in the fol
lowing men to help deteruaine
identities and answer any ques
tions they may be able to answer
in connection with the issuance
of supplemental rations: J. P.
Crisp, Ernest Edmoodsoo. T. B.

Slav Joins Army To Avenge

Awake to the real meaning of this

seriousness, a native of Yugoslavia
stopped in Wiliiamston for a short
while on a recent night en route with
other comrades to a point they knew

more, but there was something
about this fellow that prompted a j
conversation between him and Night j
Officer John Roebuck.

the soldier came to this country w hen
he was sixteen years old He saw j
service in France with the mighty j
81st Division, and troubled by tragic ;
news coming from his homeland he 1
volunteered for service again three j
months ago. He had learned that his I
184 vear-old father and his 82-year
old mother and a sister had been |
inurdered by Hitler's mad men back'

cording to the latest reports reach

rillas who are causing the Germans
so much trouble in the little Bal
