is not painted .

Williamston and vicinity was vis

for them the patronage of Martin
County farmers, and wishes them
much success. .
Mr. C. H. McLaurin, the principal
of the Robersonville High School,
was in town Tuesday. He gave The
Enterprise Printery a nice order of
advertising matter, and also a nice
"ad" for the paper. Mr. McLaurin is
a young man, but seemingly of much
ability, and we predict for him and
his school great success.
Quite a sensation was created last
Saturday afternoon when a mad dog
was killed on Main Street in front
of the Dennis Simmons Lumber Co.'s
office. The dog came from the direc
tion of the river and snapped at ev
ery dog that came near him. He fi
nally bit another dog and then
tackled a cart wheel. The dog that
was bitten was killed also. The own
er of that cart had better apply a
mad Stone to the affected parts.
Mr. J. T. Thompson, who resides
near Ballads, a prosperous farmer
and a faithful subscriber to *nie En
terprise brought us a very fine wa
termelon last Saturday. It was the
largest melon we have seen this

we have never eaten a better melon.

mensely, and extend our sincereat
thanks to Mr. Thompson for such a
fine treat.

$1,200 Mr Ballard's corn and cot
ton crops were damaged consider
able. The estimated damage total
amounted to about $2,500.

town Wednesday afternoon about
five o'clock, lasting about 15 min
utes. Limbs from several trees on
Main Street were blown down and
the large flag staff and flag on the
Peel building was torn off and came
njjrfalling^n^M^Anderaor^who^
drives the town cart. It looked at
one time as if all the trees near the
Enterprise office would be torn up.

office was blown down.

More evidence of the demands that

?makes upon cross-country travel
facilities here in North America is
seen in the report of George A. Kel
ly, vice president of the Pullman
Company, that troop movements
handled by the company in June hit
an all-time high, while civilian trav
el, now running 30 per cent ahead of
last year, reached this year's peak in
that same month, with July figures
not yet available. The number of
soldiers, sailors and marines trans
ported in "organized movements" in
June totaled 565,200?and the total
for the first six months was more
than 3,000,000, he reported, explain
ing that those figures did not include
men of the armed forces traveling
alone on furloughs, nor inductees re
porting to camps.
State College Hints
I'or Farm Homes
By RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent
The watermelon is one of nature's
prize packages of summer refresh
ment. And it's nice to know that a
big red slice contains a good supply
of vitamin C. also some Vitamin A |
and Bl.
"Ice cold'' is the only important
rule for serving watermelon. Slice
it either lengthwise or crosswise;
serve with or without salt. It is the
perfect dessert for a hot day because
it refreshes without bringing new
thirsts. And watermelon is an ideal
way to 4,top off" a picnic dinner.
When buying watermelons, it's
not always easy to pick a "winner."
Taste is the only final "proof of the
melon." If you can buy watermelon
halves, or get your dealer to "plug"
the melon, you can pet a nrettv pood '
idea of its color and texture. If you j
can't buy melons this way, you may !
be able to choose by color, weight. I
or sound. The best watermelons are '
bright lustrous green with a creamy !
yellow on the underside. They're
heavy for their size, and they have j
a deep sound when thumped.
Cooking apples is easy. "Be spar
ing with water" is .the only caution
the experts give. That's because ap
ples naturally have plenty of water
themselves. When you make apple
sauce or baked apples use just en
ough water to keep the fruit from
sticking and scorching.
Spices blend well with the flavor :
of apple dishes if you use them in
moderation. A pinch of salt helps and ,
either cinnamon or nutmeg will add !
something to the delicate apple fla
vor without stealing the taste spot- j
light. But don't let applesauce stand I
with nutmeg in it?that makes it <
44m* brtter.?
If you'd like reliable directions j
for making apple jelly, write to the |
Homd Demonstration Department, j
State College, Raleigh. Apples are |
high in natural pectin, so they're
ideal for jelly-making. I
Social Security
?/?
Records Important (
It is important that owners and (
Operators of seasonal business con- c
corns should know the requirements t
for reporting the social security ac- ; '
count number and wage records of
their employees, according to Mar- 1
shall H. Barney, manager of the v
Rocky Mount field office.
This return is made quarterly by |11
the employer to the Bureau of In- '
ternal Revenue and gives the name, !
the social security account number| c
and the amount of wages earned by I1
every employee during the three- ^
month period. ;a
In order that there may be no mis- J
take in properly entering the earn- 1
ings on the record, the employer
must not only report the name, but
also the social security account num- P
ber. For that same reason, it is im
portant that the employer see the
social security account number in
order that it may be correctly rec
v
orded.
This information is used by the
Social Security Board in setting up
its wage records system. Mr Barney

JUNK
needed fot War
'What's it good for?"
'Guns, tanks, and maybe
lart of a plane"
In the barnyards and gullies
of farms and in the basements
and attics of homes is a lot of
Junk which is doing no good
where it is, but which is needed
at once to help smash the
Japs and Nazis.
Scrap iron and steel, for example.
Even in peacetime, scrap provided
about SO% of the raw material for steel.
It may be rusty, old "scrap" to you,
but it is actually refined steel ? with
most impurities removed, and can be
quickly melted with new metal in the
form of pig iron to produce highest
quality steel for our war machines.
The production of steel has gone
up, up, UP, until today America is
turning out as much steel as all the rest
of the world combined. But unless at
least 6,000,000 additional tons of scrap
steel is uncovered promptly, the full
rate of production cannot be attained
or increased; the necessary tanks, guns
and ships cannot be produced.
The rubber situation is also critical.
In spite of the recent rubber drive,
there is a continuing need for large
quantities of scrap rul >bcr. Also for other
wu3te materials and metals like brass,
copper, zinc, lead and tin.
The Junk which you collect is bought
by industry from scrap dealers at estab
lished, government-controlled prices.
Will you help?
First?collect all of your waste ma
terial and pile it up.
Then?sell it to u Junk dealer, give
it to a charity, take it yourself to the
nearest collection point, or get in touch
with your Local Salvage Committee.
If you live on a farm, consult your
County War Board or your furnt imple
ment dealer.
Throw YOUR scrap into the fight!
