States attack their joint production
problems, says an American Steel
Mission is goinc to England to work
out plans for a more efficient meth
od of using steel, and to study Brit
ish methods of collecting scrap
We must forget that we are the
richest country in the world, until
the war is won we must live as
though the U. S. A. were a poor
country, without resources. Last
week WPB ordered that men's work
clothes must have fewer pockets,
fewer buttons and buckles and must
consume less cloth. Another order
cut use of rubber in manufacture of
products intended not for civilian
use, but for the armed forces. The
order prohibited use of rubber in
Wp li.t r.f military products, in
eluding cartridge clip boxes and gun
grips WPB called on the wood furn
iture industry to help relieve civil
ian shortages by using wood to make
articles normally made of metal
such as lockers, ice boxes, wash
tubs .pails, lamps, trailers, truck and
bus bodies, but WPB warned that
the highest quality lumber must be
used primarily for military purposes
and that only lower grades would be
available for the substitutes
Transportation Problem Grows
The problems of war tune trans
portation increase with the turning
wheels and the passing days. In a
sense, transportation is the key to
victory? or rather, one of many
keys with which we must unlock
many doors before we win Produc
tion. mass assembly line production,
is really a matter of distribution?a
matter of getting material to pro
cessing plants, thence to fabricating
factories, eventually to the point of
final assembly and ultimately to
where it is needed on the fighting
fronts The only way in which we
can depend on our transportation
systems, local and long haul, to do
their job is by cutting civilian de
mands on these systems to the bar
est possible minimum And that is
what we are doing."
Buy Coal Now, OUT Warns
The Office of Defense Transporta
tion announced last week that by
cutting out duplicate passenger train
and bus schedules in the first half
of 1942, the railways have gained
114 locomotives and 553 passenger
cars to meet the needs of war traf
fic The greatest civilian long dis
?tance transportation problem is that
which affects Eastern States facing
next winter with a shortage of fuel
especially fuel oil.
The railroads are moving great 60
car tank trains on limited schedules
to the East, but there is a point be
yond which we may not count on
the supplies so received. WPB has
set aside 11,000 tons of scarce iron
and steel for makers of grates and
other equipment needed to change
oil burners and furnaces so that they
will burn coal. People in the East
who have oil furnaces which can be
changed over should do so at once
?and they should buy their coal
now. too, because there is a gruwing
shortage of railway cars and it may
not be possible to move the coal af
ter cold weather sets in.
The problem of local transporta
tion is something which Concerns ev
erybody and it is a critical problem
today Every time the big rubber
tires of a delivery truck revolve they
bring nearer the time when that
truck must be laid up Whether such
trucks serve America until the war
is won, or whether our system of dis
tribution by truck breaks down, de
pends largely on the way the trucks
are used. ODT, working with owners
and drivers of our five million trucks
has made plans to save trucks and
tires as much as possible, but no
plan will work unless everyone
helps. Plan ahead, when you buy, buy
for as long a period as possible ?
that means fewer trips for the truck
Carry your own packages when you
can. For years we have depended on
department stores and groceries
laundries and dry cleaners, baker
tea and dairies and drug stores for
all sorts of deliveries which were
convenient -but unnecessary

Braves vs. Cardinals
Yesterday was a dreary day tor
the Martins, both literally and fig
uratively, as they dropped a dou
bleheader to the hustling Dodgers
in a pair of five inning games. Play
ed under dreary skies, it was al
most time to turn on the lights be
fore the nightcap was finished. The
twin-win gave the Dodgers undis
puted hold on second place, a half
game behind the Cards.
With his regular pitchers absent,
Capt. Harx-nm Grimes took?tbe
mound for the losers, and with the
score tied at 8-all after four innings
he gave way to Pittman. The Dodg
ers scored four more times in the
fifth to account for the 12-8 outcome
The nightcap proved to be a real
thriller, with the Dodgers coming
out on the top of a 3-2 score, the
game enduig with the Martins leav
ing the tying run on third base. Jack
Manning limited the losers to four
hits 111 this contest, while the win
ners were held to a half-dozen by
Pittman.
The league's batting leader, D.
Cobb, fattened his average by hit
ting safely" four times in five trips
for the afternoon, to account for four
of the Martins' 11 hits in the two
games.
In the first game, Capt Jack Man
ning hit 3 for 3 to lead the way.
Boykin was next with 3 for 4, while
Wobbleton and Thrower had 2 for
3. The six Dodgers hits in the sec
ond affair were divided among as
many players.

Soldier Addresses
Plea To The Girls
Corporal Thomas L. Taylor, Ham
ilton youth who is maneuvering with
the armed forces some where in the
west recently addressed the follow
ing plea to the girls back home:
BE TRt'E TO THE 80LDIERS
Girls be true to the soldiers,
Who have sacrificed their life,
For your liberty and justice,
To make the future free from strife.
Don't two-time the boys, girls;
Just because they're far away; <
They'll hope to find you waiting
On returning some future day.
While they are march daily,
Their comfort is your face,
And the cherished memory of you
Is no one can take your place.
Marching, marching, daily marching.
Their feet are stuck with tacks,
While carrying a heavy rifle,
With equipment on their back.
So why go out with another.
And grieve your soldier's heart;
While he's fighting for your liberty,
Even though you are miles apart.
Life is not always sunshine
For shadows often fall;
But you can be true and loyal,
While he answers his country's call.

writing his people at home and has
not missed a Sunday church service.

Devastating Attack
On .Germany By Air

(Continued from page one)
around Port Moresby where the Japs
are apparently trying to gain a
stronger foothold in New Guinea to
offset their losses in the Solomons.
There's little action in Egypt at the
present, and the main attention of
the war continues for the present
along the hard-pressed Russian de
fense lines before Stalingrad and in
the Caucasus. The Kuban river has
been crossed by the Germans as they
continue their march into the Cau
casus, and a crossing of the Don at
its bend on the Kletskaya front is
expected almost at any time. It is
now apparent that Russia's great
Don Bason, rich in grain and manu
facturing, is in the hands of the in
vaders, that the Germans have gain
ed important supplies and are fast
making themselves independent
while robbing the Russians of vital
materials.
Indirect reports from Turkey state
that the German officials are cer
tain that Russia will crumble before
the year is spent, that the Nazis will
then propose some kind of peace
with the U. S. and Britain. On the
other hand, the German people were
said not to be optimistic in the face
of food shortages and adverse re
ports on casualties.
Angered by the sinking of five of
her ships by German subs and the
loss of betwen 750 and 1,000 aoldiars
from one of the ships, Brazil today
was said to be considering a declara
tion of war against Germany.
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Harrell and
children, of Roanoka Rapids, visited
relatives here Sunday.
Plans Go Forward
For County Fair
"After a thorough study and an
analysis was made of conditions sur
rounding the holding of this year's
fair, and serious consideration giv
en the impression that fairs would
be detrimental to the war effort, the
directors have decided to go ahead
with the Martin County Agricultur
al Fair this year," Mr. W. E. Dunn,
manager, said last week.
It was pointed out by the manager
that the holding of the fair would not
drain any more of the transporta
tion facilities than the customary or
normal market day for farm fam
ilies who will find it convenient, as
well as educational and enjoyable,
to visit the fair and that it would
not be unpatriotic to hold the annual
fair.
; According to Mr. Dunn, visitors
from outside Williamston who wish
to attend will do so in most part,
when making a regular monthly or
weekly business trip to our town. "As
mutter uf fact we urge that these
prospective visitors take advantage
of the fair only on such trips and not
make special trips to attend," he
said.
Naturally the amusement aspect of
the fair serves an important fune
tion. first, being necessary to pro
vide funds to pay premiums and ex~
penses; second, such diversion is re
quired to attract visitors to see the
many improvements of farm and
home life.
The manager, Mr. Dunn, says in
addition to these benefits, the fair
can admirably serve the government
in helping in the sale of War Savings
Bonds and Stamps.
"On information secured with re
gard to other fairs of the country it
was found that at least 800 fairs ov
er the country are making plans to
operate this year," Mr. Dunn said
"Of course, many are not operating
and many have closed for the year
due to the fact that their grounds are
being used by the Government."
Premium books will be mailed out
the latter part of next week and ac
cording to the manager all free acts
have been booked for the season.
Kaus' shows will be on the midway
again this year, and "America on
Parade," large stage production will
be the main feature of the fair. Pro
fessional directors will have com
plete charge of training the cast
which will be composed of both lo
cal and professional talent. Special
scenery and lighting effects will be
brought in to create the proper at
mosphere for the many scenes to be
shown on the outdoor stage.

Supplies of fresh vegetables for

Local Girl MmM First
Lady In Washington
Mix Rosa Moore, formerly of Wil
liamston, has been visiting her mo
ther, Mrs. Sudie Moore, in James
ville. Miss Moore is now associat
ed with the general accounting of
fice in Washington City. Miss Moore,
who has only been in Washington
about four months, has been very
fortunate in having met our First
Lady. Miss Moore attended a tea
given in honor of Mrs. Delano Roose
velt. Everyone invited to the tea
arrived at the hotel between three
and four o'clock. Mrs. Roosevelt
came in at 4:30. She wore a white
afternoon dress, black and white hat,
white shoes and carried a white bag.
The receiving line formed immed
iately and each guest was introduced
to our First Lady.
Then she related a few of her ex
periences in her early life. She told
about being abroad at Christmas all
alone with no one to even talk to, and
she said she hoped the people com
ing to Washington to work would
not have any trouble making friends.
Then the refreshments were served
which cSfBisted of tea, cookies and
sandwiches. Miss Moore also at
tended a garden party and met the
vice president and Mrs. Henry Wal
lace
Miss Moore has returned to Wash
ington City, being accompanied by
Miss Mary Ellen Sawyer, of James
viHe, who will visit her aunt, Mrs.
Fannie Roberson.

It is with gratification that S. Claude Griffin and Jimmy Tay

service and high prices that have characterized their efforts
for an ever-growing patronage in past years.
Earnest in our efforts in conserving materials such as tires, gas
oline and equipment, we have not been able to contact you per
sonally this season. But here and now with all sincerity at our
command we invite you to joiu*our happy throng of custom
ers, and let us work for you during the season at hand.
It is our honest belief that farmers can properly sort their to

when divided into too any small piles. Bring your tobacco to

in the past, get you the high dollar for every pound. We pledge
you our every effort, experience and knowledge with unstinted
hacking in getting you the top price for your entire crop.
