S. Hopkins and for for ty years a resident of this county, died at the home of her daughter in Aulander early Sunday morning following a stroke of paralysis. The daughter of the late H. S. and Annie Woodley Hopkins, she was born in Washington County 80 years ago the 24th of last January. Some time after her marriage, she moved to this county and located in Griffins Township where she lived until her husband's death back in 1932. Since that time she has made her home with the children, spending the last four years with her daughter, Mrs Wilson Rogers, in Aulander. When in Washington County she joined the Episcopal church, but moved her membership to the church at Mace donia after moving to this county. Besides her daughter in Aulander she is survived by two sons, Leamon Hopkins, of Williamston, and Tom Hopkins, of Wilmington, and a daughter, Mrs. Wilson Holliday, of Roanoke Rapids. Funeral services were conducted at the grave side in the Lilley Cem etery in Griffins Township yester day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Green Wave Loses To Columbia, 7 to 0 WiUiamston High's Green Wave was defeated by Columbia here last Friday night by a score of 7-0, Col umbia's winning touchdown coming in the fourth period as a result of brilliant running by Pledger and Corcum. The stage for the winning score was set midway of the fourth per iod when Lilley fumbled on the Wil liamston 23 yard line. Pledger and Corcum charged through the Wil liamston line for two first downs to place the ball on the three, from which point Corcum scored. Rhodes caught a pass in the end zone to make the score 7-0 for the visitors The locals played good ball at times, but were never able to launch any converted attack. In the third period a recovery of a fumbled punt gave WiUiamston the ball on the vis itors eight yard line, but an attempt ed pass fell into the hands of the en emy, denying the Green Wave fur ther chance to score. The teams were very nearly matched, much of the play for the first three periods being between the twenty yard lines. Fred Hardi sun's fine kicking kept the locals from trouble several times during the evening In addition to fine kicking. Hardi son played an excellent game at tackle, and was probably the out standing player of the game. Collin Peelc at center played his usual fine game, as did John Goff, right guard. The Columbia game marked the end of the season for WiUiamston High School. While the locals were able to win only two games, their season was by no means unsuccess ful. Starting without a coach, they defeated Hertford and Windsor and tied Manteo. They went down in de feat before Edenton, Washington, Plymouth and Columbia. Their hardest game was the Wash ington game; their best play came during the Hertford game when their fine spirit and coordinated attack made them unbeatable I nderfioes Operations In Baltimore Hospital Undergoing operations on his ears in a Baltimore hospital about ten days ago, O. S Anderson, Jr., is re covering rapidly and after a short stay here with relatives left this morning for his base in Waycross, Ga. The young man was until recent ly stationed at Aberdeen, Md. War As It Relates To Home Front Is Reviewed for Week (Continued from page one) The combined raw materials board in some instances cuts out steps in shipping or manufacture in order to speed up results. For example, the practice of sending U. S. tungsten to England for manufacture into fer ro-tungsten, which was shipped back to Canada, has been stopped. We now supply Canada directly with ferro tungsten, and instead of sending Russia more manufactured rubber tires made to Russian dimensions, we are sending a tire manufacturing plant, bought by the Gbvernment from the Ford Motor Company. Within our own borders, economic war planning is carried on with in creasing vigor. A long-range plan for controlling the flow of critical ma terials into war production ? the controlled materials plan?has been put into effect by the War Produc tion Board. The plan tightens con trol of critical materials and puts in to effect a system of allotments to war contractors from available sup plies of these materials, in order to assure that war plants can meet pro duction requirements. The first ma teria Ls to come under the new plan are carbon and alloy steel, copper, and aluminum.

Turning Point Is Believed Reached In War On Hitler (Continued from page one) Russia, receiving the African news jubilantly, continues to wipe out the Germans and hold strong on a 1000 mile front. Attacks in Stalingrad have been repulsed, and the Russians have gained in the Central Caucasus territory. During the past three weeks, forty German subs have either been sunk or damaged. And today the air over the English Channel is alive with fliers, scuttling across to attack Ger man and occupied territories. Hitler, with added fronts to guard, is on the hot spot just now, but it must be remembered that the Allies started in Fiance last war and that today they have not reached that starting point. Reports Scrapped From The Nation Wilmington, N. C.?The Atlantic I Coast Line Railroad predicts a col lection of more than 100 million pounds before the end of 1942 in its scrap salvage drive. Patrolman W. S Hunt, of Mur freesboro, visited here this after noon. THE RECORD SPEAKS . . . For the second consecutive time, Martin County motorists traveled through a week with out a single accident. It is one of the few times in years that a per fect record was established in two weeks running. Highway patrolmen state that traffic duirng the week has reached a low point in the coun ty and possibly that accounts for the perfect record. However, the patrolmen point out that traffic continues unusually hea vy during the week-ends, and that would indicate that motor ists are exercising greater care in their operations. The following tabulations of fer a comparison of the accident trend: first, by corresponding weeks in this year and last and for each year to the present time. 45th Week Comparison Accidents InJ'd Killed Dam'ge 1942 0 0 0 $ 000 1941 4 2 0 500 Comparison To Bate 1942 58 35 4 $ 7,208 1941 84 51 6 21,330 Big Percentage Of Draftees From the County Is Rejected (Continued from page one) Edward Butler These men are to report back to the induction center very shortly.
