Man Jailed Here For

but was chased away. The intruder
there left a pair of prison shoes on
the door steps, and while officers be
lieve they were left ther by Cham
bless they have not definitely con
nected him with that case Sheriff
C. B. Roebuck, arresting Chamblee
just as he started walking on the riv
er bridge, is investigating both cases
further, and the evidence already
uncovered would seem to indicate
that Chamblee is facing another
term on the roads.
According to reports coming from
Ahoskie, citizens there had promis
ed Chamblee a hot time if he ever
returned to prowl around their
homes.
Hears Nothing More
From Missing Son
"We haven't heard no definite
lews since he was reported missing
ollowing the sinking of the U. S. S.
bruiser Quincy last August," Mr.
Dan Hot-buck, of near Hamilton, said
,-esterday when asked if there was
tny news?of his son.
Young Roebuck's shipmate, a boy
ay the name of Focht, wired Mr.
Roebuck a short time ago. stating
:hat they were good friends and
ivorked in adjoining rooms on the
ship. But Focht explained that he did
not know what became of his friend,
that the attack was so sudden and
the confusion so great that he hard
ly knew what or how it all happen
ed.
Plan Another Big
Scrap Harvest In
The County Soon
(Continued from page one)
?and for the sake of the hundreds
of Martin County lads on the far
flung^ battle fronts of the world to
day, not to mention the millions of
other lads who are also deserving
every consideration it is humanly
possible for us to advance on the
home front.
The government does not wish to
employ compulsory tactics in order
to get every pound of .scrap iron, but
it can be expected to take some ac
tion in those cases where reason
able cooperation is withheld. It is
understood that the government au
thorities have already sent warning
letters to several owners who have
been slow to move their scrap into
the fight.
Peanut Market Sags
Under Heavy Sales
The Past Few Days
?
(Continued from page one)
just as long as it is possible to get
men to work. Unloading operations
went forward late last night, and
some farmers, anxious to deliver
their crops, brought their own labor
to assist the delivery work
Whether the market will regain
the quarter of a cent loss or hold
strong at seven cents-is problemati
cal It is fairly certain, however, that
there is a strong demand for peanut
products and that even with a large
crop there'll hardly be enough of the
goobers to supply all of the trade.
The fury and dissatisfaction over
the peanut oil market are not so ram
pant as was the case a few days ago.
The little fellows with one, two.
three and occasionally a dozen bags
are doing most of the complaining
while those growing fifty to a hun
dred or more bags are beginning to
make deliveries with some degree of
satisfaction. Most farmers are find
ing that they are not having to sell
as many peanuts for oil as they once
thought they would. However, in
some few cases where the farmers
over-estimated their acreages, the
oil deliveries are running higher
than was first expected by the grow
ers.
Finding some delivery points glut
ted, individual farmers were heard
to say this morning that they plan
ned to store their crops for a while.
Deliveries to the government houses
are expected to increase gradually.
e
Income
Net income, including Govern
ment payments, of farm operators
in 1942, is now forecast at about $9,
785,000,000, an increase of 45 per
cent over the total for 1941.
HERE'S HOW
Here's the way your new 1943
auto license tab will look when
attached to the rear 1942 license
plate of the car. Motorists must
retain both front and rear li
censes for 1942. The tab certifies
they have renewed their license
and must be affixed by January
1, 1943.
Outlook In Solomon
Islands Much Better
After Fierce Battle
(Continued from page one)
sweeping successes in North Africa,
the Allies are now entering what
may be a major fight in Tunisia. It
was first reported that the Axis were
withdrawing from that area and go
ing to safer ground on the continent.
Later reports state that the Germans
are moving in in fairly large num
bers and have already engaged the
Allied forces in minor skirmishes.
Rommel's forces continue their back
ward march after a rapid fashion
toward Tripoli, and the Allies are
making every effort to trap part of
tin* beleaguered columns. As a whole
the African situation looks encour
aging, but some fighting is to be ex
pected as the Allies push toward
Tunis and Bizerte.
In Russia the plight of the Ger
mans is approaching the pathetic.
They are still plugging at the Rus
sians, but captured Germans around
Stalingrad were found to be still
wearing summer underwear snatch
ed from the peasants. The Russians
have scored successes with counter
attacks in the Caucasus and are slow
ly pushing the invaders back at
Stalingrad. There is some talk of a
counter Russian attack in the Lenin
grad area, one report stating that the
Russians had regained one import
ant point in that area.
In New Guinea, combined Aus
tralian and American forces led by
General MacArthur are beating the
Japs at their own game in land fight
ing and are gradually, closing .in on
the important Jap base at Buna.
Livestock Sale At
State Prison Farm
???
Raleigh ? Farmers in eastern
North Carolina will be given a
chance to pick up good working
mules and horses as well as dairy
cattle at the forthcoming sale at
Caledonia Prison Farm near Til
lery in Halifax County, Tuesday,
November 24th.
Prison Director Oscar Pitts say
the sale will start promptly at 11
o'clock in the morning and will be
handled through the State Division
of Purchase and Contract.
Offend for sale are 30 good Hoi
stein milk cows, one registered Hol
stein bull. 7 good llolstein heifers
and 10 good Holstrin calves.
Working stock offered for sale will
consist of 30 good farm mules and
7 work horses.
Pitts said the sale of the working
animals was directly in line with a
policy to sell off all extra mules and
horses at the state farm. During the
past years more and more work has
been done with tractors, which has
meant the gradual reduction of work
animals from almost 300 to about
50.
The sale will be a public auction,
all animals sold to the highest bid
der. The animals may be inspected
at the farm prior to the sale.

//?* Sergeant l.onis
White, II. S. Army, Now
It's Sergeant Louis White, U. S.
Army, now, friends, both white and
colored, were humbly informed by
the sergeant when he took advan
tage of a short leave to visit the town
last week-end.
Better known as "Lightning," the
sergeant explained he annexed his
stripes through hard work, and add
ed that he was getting along all right
in the Army. He was anxious to get
home for a little home-cooking
around Mrs. Grace Swain's kitchen
at the hotel, even though he admit
ted that Uncle Sam amply provided
for him and all the othefs.
"Lightning" is a changed man, too.
He used to take his "toddies" by the
tumblerful. Now, he just sips a
spoonful or two. The former hotel
bellhop was one of the first Martin
County colored men to volunteer,
and early next month he will have
been in the service two years.

Rationing System For
Liquor Salet Proposed
According to information TSCStved
here this morning, alcoholic bever
age control authorities are in a dis
trict meeting at Kinston today to dis
cuss a proposed plan for rationing li
quors Just how the authorities plan
to ration the fluid could not be team
ed.
Selling more than they could get,
the ABC stores in this county have
reduced their selling hours. Opening
it 9 o'clock in the morning, the stores
ire cloeing at 5 p. m.. effectii
if Monday, November 16. There was
i bit of weeping and moaning at the
closed doors of the local store last
light when the new hours went into
effect without notice.
War As It Relates
To Home Front Is
Reviewed for Week
(Continued from page one)
The fuel shortage, starting with
fuel oil, has struck in many direc
tions. There has been a sharp in
crease in the demand for heating
itoves that burn coal and wood, and
to meet the expected shortage in
this type of stove, production of coal
and wood-burning cooking stoves
has been halted until January 1,
1943. With an expected consumption
next year of three trillion cubic feet
of natural gas, shortage of gas for
home use is likely to develop in the
Middle West.
Travel Crows, Transport Short
Although we have the best all
round transportation system in the
world, we now are short of travel
facilities. After World War I the rail
roads were losing passenger busi
ness to the private passenger auto
and to the rapidly extending inter
city bus lines, and so did not replace
many coaches, pullman cars, and
locomotives. The wartime shortage
of critical materials now makes it
impossible to add very much either
to bus or railroad travel facilities,
although intercity traffic is 50 per
cent greater than a year ago ? in
some localities, twice as great. Mili
tary travel accounts for more than
a million passengers a month. These
men in war service have first call
on travel space, the rest of us must
give up all unnecessary trips.
While the public is asked to coop
erate in travel saving, the Govern
ment has acted to make the best pos
sible use of present bus facilities.
Bus service between many points
has been adjusted so that tickets be
tween all points common to more
than one line are interchangeable,
overloads are relieved by diverting
traffic to less crowded lines, sched
ule for departure of competing buses
are adjusted so that they do not du
plicate each other, and traffic and
operations are being pooled.
Will Need 180,000 More Women
Our transportation industry, which
now employs about 120,000 women,
will need 180,000 more to take the
place of men going into the armed
services and of those attracted to
war industries. Women are now
working in the big aircraft plants,
in many of the munitions plants, and
in the instruments industry, but
they can be used in mining, lumber
ing and many other fields and will
have to be recruited in even larger
numbers.
Beginning November 29, our su
gar ration books will serve also for
coffee rations. Stamps number 20
to 28 have been designated as coffee
stamps and the first coffee stamp is
Number 27. The arrangement of the
stamps in the book makes it neces
sary to use them in order 27, 28, 25,
26, and so forth. Each customer will
have to see that the right stamp is
removed, and that coffee stamps are
not taken from books showing the
age of the holder to be fifteen years
or less. The fifteen-year-old limit
for coffee rations was set in order
jto allow larger rations or the adult
population, but heavy coffee drink
i ers will have to learn to get along
on a great deal less, and we should
remember that our sailors risked
their lives bringing coffee to us from
South and Central America.
Slashing Use of Metal
American technicians are trying
in every way to cut out or reduce the
use of metal in various products.
We'er not building our war machines
out of the same steels we used two
years ago, new steel alloys have been
perfected. The 1943 farm tractor and
farm engine program calls for dras
tic reductions in the use of copper
in these machines. The drug industry
is urged to find substitutes for metal
containers in such materials as glass,
ceramics, and wood. Tubes are now
made of cellulose acetate, with a
plastic top, or even of lead with pa
per lining. More canned soups and
infant foods will be packed in glass
containers.
Prices have been fixed for all
kinds of fall and winter outer cloth
ing . . . The Government is prepar
ing to take action against thousands
of retailers, chiefly grocery stores,
guilty of violating the regulations
that keep down prices . . . Galvaniz
ed ware of every sort, from water
ing pots and dippers to coal scuttles
and ash cans, will be limited to few
er types, and their distribution will
be restricted in order to save both
the metals that go into them and the
surface finishing materials . . . More
than half a billion pounds of food
stuffs . and other farm commodities
were delivered for shipment to the
allied nations in September. Dried
and concentrated foods have be
come increasingly important, they
save shipping space. There'll be very
little outdoor Christmas lighting this
year, electricity is needed to light
war homes and as power for war
plants. Hunters and trappers are
asked to save every bit of fat from
large and small game aniamls, and
to send in the down and small body
feather of wild fowl, they're all
needed for war.

County Man Promoted
To Captaincy In ^rmy|
J Wootard Peel, son of Mrs. Ger
trude Peed and the late J. S. Peel, of
Everetts, has been promoted to the
rank of Captain in the U. S. Army,
according to information received by
his wife yesterday.
Captain Peel, the third Martin
County man to be promoted to that
rank during the current war, receiv
ed his basic training in the reserve
officers' training corps. State Col
lege, and at Citizens Military Train

THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
After two weeks straight run
ning without an accident, motor
ists broke into the column last
Saturday. One person was in
jured and another $1Q0 loss was
chalked up in the property
damage row. But even though
the accident was a bit serious,
the record last week looks good
compared with the one for the
46th week in 1941 when there
were six accidents and an in
crease in the number of injured.
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.

New State License
Tags One-tenth As
Large As Old Ones
(Continued from page one)
With these things done already
the applicant presents himself to
the nearest license sale branch.
There, the clerk will fill into the
blanks the old 1942 license plate
number, which, of course, the mo
torist retains for another year. The
1942 pocket card itself is left with the
clerk.
The tab the applicant will receive
will be affixed to the rear license
plate, but the front license plate must
be retained. Do not, caution the Mo
tor Vehicle officials, throw away ei
ther of your old plates? you still
have the same old number that you
had in 1942
Migration Worry
Another worry arising in this
year's license plate sale comes from
the fact that thousands of motorists
have moved into defense areas. Many
of these people, Ward thinks, will
not receive their new 1943 pocket
registration cards. If any motorist
has not received such a card by Dec.
10th he should immediately get busy
and notify the Motdr Vehicle De
partment in Raleigh of the fact so
that the mis-directed card can be
substituted and sent on to him at his
new address.
"We anticipate that it will take
three times as long to sell a tab this
year as it took to sell two plates last
year," Ward explained. "Therefore,
unless motorists want to stand in
line and even be without their plates
for several days, every effort should
be made to clear up any doubts at
the start of the sale period. We have
30 days in which to sell the tabs, and
there will be no extension of time
beyond December 31, 1942."
Ward said the department was
short of help, and that persons who
have to get old 1942 cards replaced,
or get new 1943 cards which failed to
reach them, may experience consid
erable delay in obtaining these cards
from Raleigh.
