THE COUNTY
OF MARTIN
M. L. PEEL, Tax Collector
REJECTED
At least ten of the approxi
mately 33 Martin County color
ed draftees reporting for Army
service a few days ago were ac
cepted, according to unofficial
Information received here today.
It is possible that a few of the
other 23 will be accepted, but
apparently a majority of the
group will be rejected as physi
cally unfit.
Under a new ruling, draftees
accepted by the Army are given
a fourteen-day furlough to re
turn home to handle any busi
ness they may have. The new
ruling accounts for the return of
so many selectees.
Germans Pushing on
Toward Vital Points
In Russia And Egypt
(Continued from page one)
all encouraging.
There is little talk coming from
official circles about a second front
these days, but the time is ripe for
a second front if Russia is to con
tinue in the fight and Hitler's plans
to knock out Russia and prepare for
a drive in the west are thwarted.
Burdened by the struggle itself, the |
Allies are also experiencing discom
forts on other fronts, too. -There are |
seven French warships at Alexan
dria, and a quarrel is likely to fol-1
low their disposal. The United States |
has proposed to escort them to safe
ty, but France's traitor, Laval, will
not agree to such a move. It is fair
ly certain that the ships will be put
out of commission before they are
allowed to fall into the hands of the
German when and if the invaders
reach that port.
Yugoslavia guerrillas are still
fighting, reports today stating that
the Serbs have just successfully en
gaged the enemy in several large
scale battles.
Relations between this country and
little Finland have been strained to
the breaking point, and the consu
lates of the two are to be closed.
London today had its first daylight
air raid alarm in four months, but
no damage was done. Yesterday, the
RAF visited the Ruhr and also
bombed German submarine bases.
A Red Cross mercy ship was at
tacked and sunk Tn the Mediterran
ean after it had unloaded 3,000 tons
of wheat for the starving Greeks.
Hie Greek minister of information,
speaking in this country last night,
said that 40,000 of his countrymen
had died of starvation in the city of
Athens alone during recent months.
But the Greeks are still fighting and
opposing the new order that had
brought poverty, want and starva
tion to his people, he declared.
Tokio admitted today that an Am
erican sub had sunk a Jap ship and
killed all aboard. There is little news
on the Pacific front, observers stat
ing that Japan is making ready to
strike somewhere. The situation in
India is considered grave, but in
China the defenders apparently are
holding their own after experiencing
costly losses recently.
In this country there is growing
talk about lowering the draft age
limit to include 18-year-old lads, but
action calling for the boys is not ex
pected immediately.
The President -is asking for a bet
ter control over inflation, and more
telling effects on the economic front
are to be expected.
There'll be plenty of soap, but
powder, face paint and lipstick will
be on the scarce list in this country
ere long . Steps are being taken to
save 17 million pounds of materials
ordinarily going into their manufac
ture.
Fort Bragg Visitors

Visitors to this largest of Army
posts are required to state their bus
iness on the reservation and Military
Police at Control Stations will ap
prove admittance only after the par

If for some reason arrangements
are not made in advance, visitors are
advised to make sure of the exact
location of the person they wish to
