Farmers Dubious As To Real Meaning Of Priee - Fixing Plans (Continued from page one) indicate that prices have not been affected one way or the other by the price ceiling ordered by the Of fice of Price Administration. It was also claimed that the markets had virtually been stabilized and that current prices will obtain during the remainder of the season or as long as the ceiling is in effect without much variation. If any thing, the ceiling had a stimulating effect on the local mar ket yesterday and today, farmers, themselves, declaring that the price trend was stronger than it was dur ing the latter part of the week. The better quality grades were holding to their opening-day levels with pos sibly an increase of one <jent per pound in the market top. Blocked sales, reported here yes terday, were cleared in a short time this morning and sales today will be concluded just about closing time, if not a little before that hour. Price averages vary from row to row, but the over-all average is being battered by the large quantity of tips and oth er inferior grades being offered at this time. This morning the average for one row would approximate 40 cents almost while the next would drop down into the twenties. Far mers. as a whole, are complaining lit of the tie or none at all, and many of th em declare they are getting good sales considering the quality. One farmer said yesterday that he had some to bacco so sorry that he did not even consider it worthwhile to fertilize his land with it. Offering the trash for sale, he received two cents a pound for it. That's an extreme case to be sure, but it offers some idea about the quality of the crop produc ed in this section this year. Jos. W. Cowen Dies Suddenly at Home Friday Afternoon (Continued from page one) fleeting a noble character. Funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, by Rev. W. B. Harring ton, county Baptist minister, and Kev. B '1'. Hurley, pastor of the lo ^al Methodist church. Interment was in the family plot in the local ceme tery. Mr. Cowen is also survived by two brothe rs, Messrs Herbert H. Cowen, Sr.. of Williamston, and Chas. Cow en. of Beaufort County. Church Benefit Is Turned into Rough House In Griffins (Continued from page one) while in a critical condition, is ex pected to recover, according to the last reports coming from a Wash ington hospital where he was car ried for treatment. Earlier in the day, Officers J H. Roebuck and Roy Peel, assisted by Officer Hoy O'Neal, of Beaufort, raided in Griffins Township and found about, two gallons of liquor m that section. It was intimated that the officers did not get but half of the amount in. the community, that the other half went into action late that night. Nazis Launch Drive Aimed At Important Suez Canal in Egypt (Continued from page one) and 2,000 dead Germans, had been inflicted. The Germans were said to 1m> rushing in fresh troops and more supplies, the action indicating that the drive against Stalingrad will be continued regardless of cost, late re ports stating that the invaders are only fifteen miles from the city. The tempo of the Caucasus fight ing is increasing, the Germans claim ing that their forces had reached the Black Sea below the Kuban River and were only about 30 miles from the important port of Novorossisk. In the Rzhev sector of the eastern front, the Russians are recapturing much territory lost to the invaders nearly a year ago and inflicting heavy losses. The Allies are continuing their gains in the Southwest Pacific, pil ing up successes at Milne Bay where the Japs were trapped. The success at the southeastern tip of New Gui nea was rated by some observers as another important turn in the war But another report stated that the Japs were pushing across a mountain range and driving on toward Port Moresby in New Guinea. China is still pushing on against the Japs, and American airmen have blasted important airfields in Bur ma to feature the fighting in that part of the world. Japan's foreign minister Togo has resigned, the action leaving observ ers guessing. Some say the Japs are troubled over the losses suffered at Milne Bay. Others say the action points to an attack on Siberia, that the minister, once an envoy to Rus sia, was not in favor of subbing Rus sia in the back and, therefore, was removed. Today marks the beginning of the fourth year of the war, and a grim anniversary it is, too An offensive somewhere has been promised this year, and the world is looking to "M WILLIAMSTON It.

The 37th Week Of The War Army and Navy The War Department said it will inaugurate this fall a voluntary pre induction training program utilizing existing facilities of schools and col leges to meet present and future needs for properly trained personnel in the armed forces. Out of every 100 men inducted into the army, about 63 are assigned to duties re quiring specialized training, the de partment said The Army said it is organizing and training port batta lions (composed mostly of former stevedores) for duty overseas to in-1 sure prompt handling of U. S. mili tary equipment for forces stationed throughout the world. The depart ment said checks in payment of al lowances to dependents of enlisted men of the army, covering the first applications to be approved, will go out shortly after September 1. The Navy announced recruiting of enlisted personnel of the Women s Naval Reserve will begin Septem ber 11. and training will start Oc tober 9th at the University of Wis consin, Indiana University and Okla homa A. and M. College. Selective Service Selective Service Director Hershey .said draft boards will begin calling men with dependents before Christ mas. lie said single men with "sec ondary" dependents, such as aged or crippled relatives, will be called f ir<i ? marred -men? w hose wives work, next, then men with depend ent wives, and finally men who have wives and children. He said the res ervoir of 1 A men throughout the country is "practically exhausted." Selective Service headquarters said Class 1-B (men fit for limited mili tary service only) will be eliminat ed. and beginning September 1, all registrants who are not totally dis qualified will be reclassified in 1-A, while those not suited for any mili tary service will be placed in 4-F. In the case of men reclassified in -A. the army will determine after induction whether they will be as signed to full or limited service. Stabilization of Farm Prices Secretary of Agriculture Wickard said he would approve a plan of live stock ceiling prices which "must not permit abnormal profits to anyone in the industry at the expense of the producers or consumers." Mr. Wickard also said he now favors re peal of the provision of the price control act "that prohibits ceilings on processed farm products if the celling price reflects a farm price of less than 110 per cent of parity " He said farm prices "have reached parity on an average" The WPB food requirements committee asked the armed' forces, the Lend-Lease Administration and the War Pro duction board to collaborate in working out a program for alloca tion of all government meat pur liases as equitably as possible among federally inspected packers. The Agricultural Marketing Administra tion bought $137,900,000 worth of foodstuffs during July for the United Nations and other requirements, in luding 80,000 pounds of dehydrated beef. Oil and Gasoline WPB Chairman Nelson appointed under Secretary of War Patterson, Petroleum Coordinator Ickes and Price Administrator Henderson as u ommitlee to determine whether fuel oil should be rationed in the East Coast area this winter. Because of the shortage of fuel oil in the area, Mr. Ickes prohibited the hauling of automotive gasoline by rail in 20 middle Western and Southwestern states in order to divert enough tank cars to carry 100,000 barrels of fuel oil daily to the rationed area. If the withdrawal of these 5,000 to 7,000 tank cars creates a shortage, ration ing should be extended, Mr Ickes said. Swimming Context In Mimici/ml Pool Here ? On Thursday afternoon from two until six o'clock, there will be a swimming meet held at the local pool for children whose ages range from 9 to 16. There will be a 50-yard dash, diving contest, relay races, and 100-yard dash, and the groups will be divided according to the ages of the contestants. * Celling Along Ifell In Great Britain These Days In a cablegram received a few days ago, Robert "Dock" Taylor ad vised his parents. Mr. and Mrs. S. E Taylor, of RFD 3. Williamston, that he was getting along well, en joying the best of health and having a great time in ole England. "Tell all my friends hello, and tell them to remember old 'Dock'," he said. Mr. Simon Edwin Hardison, of Gainesville, Fla., arrived last week to spend some time with relatives in the county. S Undergoing treatment in a Wash ington hospital for about two weeks, Mr. Jack Biggs is returning home to day to spend a short while before continuing his treatment in a Fay etteville hospital. a Eggs Nearly 1 1-2 billion dozen eggs must be produced in the United States during the remainder of this year if the 1942 goal to meet war time requirements is attained.

Death struck on the highways of this county last week for the second time this year, claiming the life of a little child in an un usual accident. A marked reduc tion in traffic is claimed this year as compared with the vol ume a year ago. but the acci dent and death figures have not dropped accordingly, making it quite clear that we are still care less or even reckless when we turn to the highways.
