Police Catch Hit-Run Auto Driver Quickly Quick action on the part of Roanoke Rapids police last night resulted in the arrest of a hit and-run driver who had run in to two parked automobiles. Roy Gillam, local youth, was arrested by Captain C. R. Green and officer J. W. High in the first block of Washington street at 7:30. Police officials said he was charged with operating an automobile while under the influence of alcohol and two charges of hit-and-run and damage to property. He was jailed pending the posting of a $200 bond on the drunken driving charge and at $500 bond on the hit-and-run of fenses. He is charged with running into the automobile of E. H.

Rent Your Rooms By Using Herald Classified Ads We can thank Mrs. J. O. Mathews, 1026 Hamilton St., for coming to tha aid of the tourists and traveling business folks staying in our city. The lack of a hotel has left many a tourist stranded. Mrs. Mathews found the best way to let folks know that the had rooms for rent was to place an ad in the Daily Her ald, the ad enabled out of town folks to find s room for the night or the week. The classified ad played a double part in the case, re sults in renting a room for Mrs. Mathews and a room for fbe tourist. Therein lies one of the great values of the Herald elaaalfled ad. Put one to work right now. just write or Phone 11-616 or R-6621. Ruth CoojSsr. Wilbur Garner Wins Two Honor At Eastern Carolina Dairy Show Wilbur Garner of Route two, Roanoke Rapids, walked off with two honors at the Eastern Carolina Dairy show at Clinton Friday, where approximately 200 4-H club boy* and girl* ex hibited their purebred dairy hei fers, G. B. DeLoatche, Assistant County Agent said today. Garner’s animal “Chockyotte Starlight”, placed in the blue ribbon group in her class. Wil bur placed second in competi tion for showmanship and fitting among all Guernsey exhibitors. For this award, he was given a large framed picture of a pure bred Guernsey bull and cow. James Hale, of Route Two, Littleton, showing his animal “Cedarook Holli Cherry”, also placed in the blue ribbon group of his class. Bobby Medlin of Route Two, Halifax, exhibited his purebred heifer, “Wakefield Warrior Cindy” and placed in the red ribbon group of his class. Also showing two good ani mals that placed in the white ribbon group were Robert Ed Gardner and Lawrence Best of Route Two, Halifax. These heifers were a part of the Dairy Heifer Chain sponsor ed by the Kiwanis Club of Roa noke Rapids. The sponsors h.f/e made available prize money as follows: blue ribbons—$10.00 to Wilbur Garner and $10.00 to James Hale; red ribbons—$7.00 to Bobby Medlin; white rfbbon— $4.00 to Robert Ed Gardner and $4.00 to Lawrence Best. It was evident that consider able time had been given to fit ting, grooming and training these animals to show, DeLoatche said. This show was the first dairy heifer show in which any of these boys had ever competed. It marks the first time in many years that Halifax County has participated in a purebred show. It seems there is definitely a growing interest in developing and breeding good dairy animals in this county. The civic-minded people are anxiously awaiting the time that the interest ef our rural people will justify estab lishing a cattle show in Halifax County. Improvement in Prices Shown On All Flue-Cured Tobacco Belts in State During Week BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS An improvement in price aver ages in all flue-cured tobacco belts operating in North Caro - lina was noted last week by the U. S. and N. C. Departments of Agriculture. On the Eastern belt, strong de mand was in evidence during the seventh week of sales and re sulted in the highest averages of the season for practically all grades. For the week ending Sept. 30, averages increased 25 cents to $7 a hundred compared with the previous week. Most telling gains were made in leaf and lugs, which comprised two-thirds of the marketings. These grades were up generally from $3 to $6. Smoking leaf and primings increased $1 to $4, and cutters were steady to stronger. The Eastern Belt’s volume of sales last week totalled 37,765,517 pounds averaging $54.53, exceed ing last week’s average by $4.13. On the Old Belt, most grades were steady to $2 higher last week. Primings end nondescript showed the greatest gains. How ever, considerable variation oc curred in lower qualities. Sales were chiefly commom to good leaf, low to good smoking leaf, fair to fine lugs, and fair cutters. Gross sales amounted to 32,666, 573 pounds averaging $54. This was an increase of 77 cents last week. On the Middle Belt, prices and quality reached their highest points of the season. Prices climbed $1 to $3 in most instances. Practically all leaf and nondes cript increased. Common to fair smoking leaf and the major por tion of primings also advanced. Other grades were generally steady. The week’s price average was $53.61 on gross sales of 17,320,000 pounds, which boosted the sea son’s volume to 74,712,693 pounds averaging $41.09. The previous week’s average was $51.41. Peron Discredits Correspondents Buenos Aires, Oct 2-{/P)~ The Argentine Goverenment suspend ed without explanation today the credentials of five foreign cor pondents. Four were from Jhe United States. Cable companies received in structions from the director of communications to refuse dis patches from Joseph F. McEvoy of the Associated Press; Milton Bracker and Virginia Lee War ren of the New York Times; Herbert M. Clark, who represents the New York Daily News, Chi cago Sun - Times, Buffalo Courier Express, London Tele graph, and the ABC Broadcast ing chain; Jose Arrieta, a Urug uayan who is News manager here for Reuters, the British Agency. The order came eight days after President Juan D. Peron assailed foreign correspondents as “spies and saboteurs” in a speech in which he gave details of police charges that a plot was afoot to assassinate him and his wife next Oct. 12. J*eron didnot imply that any correspondents were involved in the alleged plot, but he has fre guently accused foreign news men in general of misrepresent ing hia policies. Norwegian Plane Crttsh Kills 22 Oslo, Norway, Oct. 2—(JF)— A Norwegian flying boat capsized and sank near Trondheim today apparently killing 22 of the 48 persons aboard. Earl Bertrand Russell, 76, the British philosopher, was saved soon after he had been plunged into the water. He was en route to Trondheim to lecture. The Norwegian Airlines said three were killed, 19 are missing and 26 \yere saved. As there was no response to radio calls for missing survivors to report, it now appears certain all the miss ing drowned. Three of them were babies. The fate of the missing prob ably will not be determined fin ally until the Sandringham fly ing boat is brought to the sur face. Darkness and rough wea ther forced reseuers to abandon work late tonight. A board of inquiry is trying to find the cause of the mishap. The four-engine plane sank swiftly while trying to land ir heavy wind and a rough sea • about 700 yards off Hommelvik, a village mat el Trondheim. ♦ THANKS Herald readers are getting their football news from around the nation and various other events of interest this. morning because of some overtime work put in last night by Beaman Helms of the local Western Union office. When a mechanical breakdown caused a failure in one of the Associated Press news teletypes at the Herald office, the press service re-routed from Charlotte through Richmond and into the local Western office, where Helms gladly agreed to remain past his usual 7:30 p. m. closing hour in order to handle the news ser vice copy for the Sunday Herald. The fact that this morning’s Herald carries complete football scores and a lot of other in formation is due in no small part to Helm's overtime work in keeping the public informed. We thank him! Manager of Local Store Gets Promoted To Columbia, S. C. T. B. Acker, manager of the McCrory’s store here for the past 15 months has been pro moted to the managership ®f one of the company’s largest stores in Columbia, S. C. Acker left yesterday afternoon to assume his new duties. The name of the man replac ing Acker as manager of the local store has not been annouc ed. Acker is married and has one child. He said before he left that his family would remain here until he could find living quarters in Columbia. Soviet Berlin Boss SaysU.N. Can Not . Solve Berlin Crisis Berlin, Oct. 2—(/P)—'The Rus sian commander in Germany told the world tonight to expect no solution of the Berlin crisis from the United Nations. He said agreement could be reached only by direct negotiation with the Soviet. Debate on the blockade starts Monday in Paris. The U. S., Bri tain and France referred the ex plosive issue to the U. N. Sec urity Council, accusing Russia of endangering peace and security. Marshal Vassily Sokolovsky said in a long statement the main price of any agreement is a dissolution of the Western Ger man State which the Western Powers are forming. Western officials have said many times they witll not abandon their plan. Sokolovsky gave a strong indi cation the Western Powers' re fusal to give up the West Ger man state was the real reason for the collapse of Big Four talks after an apparent agree ment had been reached. “Trying to get a solution of this question in other ways is only aiming at continuing the ab normal situation,” he said, and it “will not lead to the results the western occupation powers hoDe for.” Coming just as the U. N. dis cussion on Berlin is about to be gin, Sokolovsky’s statement was taken here as a warning that the Soviet Union would not agree nor abide by any U. N. action. The Soviet commanded in a long statement on Soviet aims in Germany, gave the first inkling of why the agreements reached by the Big Four in Moscow with Premier Stalin were sabotaged in subsequent Berlin talk^. Ne gotiations were broken off early this week after the Russians de manded control of the Allied air lift to Berlin. Sokolovsky also gave what is probably a preview__of the Rus sian line before the United Na tions in the Berlin dispute. He stressed that the rail, road and barge routes to Berlin were blocked in June because of what he called “the partitioning of ducted by the it suggested Soviet Union decided at some stage during the Moscow talks that an agree ment on Berlin would come only if the U. S., Britain and France abandoned their plans in west ern Germany. Sokolovsky asserted the Four Power air agreement for traffic to and from Berlin gave the Western Powers the right “only to serve the requirements of oc cupation troops of the western powers in Berlin.” Halifax Woman Named Head of State U. D. C. Charlotte, N. C., Oct. 2—(/P)— Mrs. Quentin Gregoiy of Hali fax was elected president of the North Carolina Division, United Daughters of the Confedracy, here today.

Applewhite of Hali fax was elected corresponding secretary. Consumers Said To Blame for High Meat Prices Washington, Oct.2 - (^P) - The Agriculture Department said to day consumers can expect little relief in meat prices unless they cut down on meat buying. It predicted the 1949 supply per person will be between 140 and 145 pounds. This compares with 145 pounds this year, 155 in 1947 and an average of 134 in 1937-41. But next year should be the turning point, the department said, in a downtrend in meat animal production. Bumper feed crops this year are expected to encourage farmers to expand pro duction again. A short corn crop last year discouraged pro duction. The department said more of next year’s supply will be grain-fed and as a consequence beef will be of better grades than this year. Season shortages — particular ly during the summer may be less acute than this year. Betting Is 15-1 In Favor of Dewey St. Louis, Oct. 2—(/P)— Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York is a 15 to 1 favorite to win the presidential election next month, acording to Betting Commission er James J. Carroll. Odds on President Truman’s re-election are 1 to 8. On a national scale the figures mean that a prospective bettor must put up $15 to win $1 on Dewey or $1 to win $8 on the President. Among the key states Gov. De wey’s odds to carry New York and Pennsylvania are highest, figured at 6 to 1. The odds for carrying Missouri are 4 to 3 for ! Dewey and even for Mr. Truman. Justice Steals Spotlight Second Straight Week as Northwestern Steps Into Center of Grid Stagei New York, Oct. 2— (IP)— Northwestern stepped boldly to the center of the national col legiate football stage today with a 21 to 0 conquest of Purdue. The Evanston, 111., Wildcats, winners by a 19 to 0 score over UCLA a week ago, battered the team that outgained Notre Dame last Saturday only to lose by a point. Northwestern's victory was the highlight of the second Sat urday of football, a Saturday that also saw Harvard open a new coaching regime by spill ing Columbia, 33 to 24; North Carolina have to come from be hind to beat Georgia, 21 to 14; four major Southern games end in ties and two Coast elevens conquered in the middlewest. Notre Dame had it much eas ier this time, toying with the feeble Pittsburgh Panthers, 40 to 0, while Michigan, chief rival of the Irish for national honors a year ago, had another trouble some day. The Wolverines fin ally stopped Norman Van Brocklin long enough to beat Oregon, 14 to 0 . Southern t-aiuornia was uia other Coast League team to regret its invasion of the Mid dle West, bowing to Ohio State in general and Joe Whisler in particular, 20 to 0. Individual honors for the day, however, probably were earned by Charles (Choo Choo) Justice of North Carolina, who scored all his team’s touchdowns in beating an aroused Georgia out J fit, 21 to 14. Art Valpey began his carer as Harvard coach officially by knocking off Columbia, an upset that was even greater than Brown’s 23 to 20 verdict over Princeton or Yale’s labored 7 to 0 verdict over little Connecticut. Duke, deadlocked last week by North Carolina State, stayed in the same rut today by playing Tennessee to a 7 to 7 standoff. Alabama and Vanderbilt played a 14 to 14 tie and Baylor earned a 7 to 7 draw with Mississippi State, regarded by many as having the best all-around back field in the country. The fourth Dixie deadlock was Louisiana Tech and Auburn, each with 13 points. Indiana moved to the top of the Big Nina with a 7 to 0 ver diet over Iowa in which blond Harry Jagade loped 20 yards for the only score. Wisconsin’s Bob Petruska hurried 49 yards with a Illinois kickoff that gave his mates a chance to score the late touchdown that brought a 20 to 16 victory. Michigan State, Notre Dame’s next opponent, worked out at the expense of Hawaii, 68 to 21. Arnw gained momentum in crushing Lafayette, 54 to 7, and Cornell pounded another defeat on the growing list of Navy, 13 to 7. The Middies last triumph came a year ago against the up-state New Yorkers. Between yawns, Pennsylvania traveled over Dartmouth, 26 to 13, and Bill Osmanski’s Holy Cross student’s came up with another top grade exhibition to defeat Syracuse, 33 to 7. A1 Egler’ of Colgate went 86 and 95 yards the first two times he touched the ball but it wasn’t enough as the Red Raiders bow ed to Rutgers, 34 to 19. Penn State, champion of the east a year ago, opened its 1948 drive for similar honors with a 35 to 0 verdict over Bucknell. Nebraska stepped outside the Big Seven and'got trounced by Minnesota, 39 to 13. Only Minne sota’s last touchdown was "earn ed,” all the others coming from fumbles or pass interceptions. Oklahoma and Oklahoma A and M each registered convincing triumphs, the Sooners mastering Texas A and M, 42 to 14, and the Aggies nicking Denver, 27 to 7. Iowa State increased Kansas State’s string of defeats to 28 with a 20 to 0 verdict and Kan sas inducted Colorado into the Big Seven 40 to 7. The two big teams of the Southwest Conference, Texas and Southern Methodist, spent the day against minor foes. Texas bumped New Mexico, 47 to 0, and SMU walloped Texas Tech, 41 to 6. California, showing no ill ef fects of its trans-continental journey for last week's Navy game, mastered St. Mary's 20 to 0, and Washington State sha dowed Stanford, 14 to 7, on a last period touchdown. Oregon State and Washington tied, 14 to 14. UCLA pasted up an easy vic tory, 28 to 12, at the expense of Idaho. Russia Asks U.N Ban A-Bomb And Set Atom Controls Northampton Has First Polio Case Jackson—Nortampton County’s first case of infantile paralysis in the waning North Carolina polio epidemic was officially reported by the State Board of Healt today.

Pilot Dogfights ‘Flying Saucer’ In North Dakota Fargo, N. D., Oct. 2—(AP)— A National Guard fighter pilot today told a story of a 30-minute encounter with a mysterious fly ing object over this city in the darkness and his account was supported by two contrn' tower operators and another flier. In a signed statement iGr Air Force Intelligence, the p(l#t, Lt. George Gorman of the 178th fighter squadron. North Dakota Air National Guard, claimed he chased and did aerial maneuvers last night with a lighted, disk like object which outran and out maneuvered him. Watching him and the object with binoculars were Lloyd Jen son and H. E. Johnson, both of Fargo, control tower operators at Hector airport here. Both said in statements today that no oth er aircraft had reported to the tower besides Gorman’s F-51 fighter and a Cub, whose pilot, Dr. A. E. Cannon of Fargo, also reported watching Gorman and the object dogfight around Far go. WEATHER North Carolina — Partly cloudy, not much changa in temperature Sunday and Mon day, a few light showers near the coast Sunday morning. Paris, Oct. 2 —{/P)— Rus sia changed signals unexpectedly today and demanded the United Nations ban the atomis bomb and set up atomic energy con trols at the same time. The soviet Union still insisted however upon veto over the con trol machinery. Western power delegates saw no compromise in the surprise move nor any break in the deadlock over atomic energy control. They said they were going straight ahead with plans to demand a vote of confidence in their stand from the U. N. General Assembly. Warren R. Austin, U. S. dele gate, told newsmen the Soviet proposal was a typically “Orien tal maneuver”. He said the American delegation saw no as surance Russia is ready to ac cept the central plan of the U.N, atomic energy commission, “the only effectice system Arhich would insure the harnessing of atomic energy in the service of mankind.” Andrei Vishinsky, Soviet De puty Foreign Minister, put the Soviet resolution before the 58 nation political committee of the assembly at the end of his sec on d blast in two days at the Western powers. Once more Vishinsky hit at President Truman, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and David E. Lilien thal, chairman of the U. S. Atom ic Energy Commission. inis came when he charged former Premier Paul Ramadier of France with attempting to justify a course “expounded by as Messrs. Dewey, Truman, Lil ienthal and others.” Vishinsky's resolution called upon the assembly to recommend to the Security Council and to the Atomic Energy Commission that they continue their work toward finding an atomic sol ution. It called for the council and the commission to draw up one treaty banning atomic weapons and another on the establish ment of effective international control over atomic energy, & *- •< Wavy Plans Long-Range Flight Combat Planes _ Pearl Harbor, Oct. 2 —(AP)— The Navy plans to fly 12 short-! range combat planes from Calif ornia to Hawaii next Tuesday using two aircraft carrier! as refueling bases at 800-mile in tervals. The operation, from Moffett; Field, near San Francisco, to Barbers Point, on Oahu, will be the first long-range overwater ferrying flight of its sort. The Navy announcement call ed it "A fast and practical” metod which ‘‘will demonstrate that needed aircraft can be fer ried over vast ocean reaches, usng the shortest geographical point-to-point route.” It said that this use of car riers would permit routes to a void “areas of possible enemy action” or bad weather. Probe Of City Code Book Shows Average Person May Be Guilty Lots Of Things By BILL DAVEY A few Sunday mornings ago a resident of Roanoke Rapids got up at the usual time, watch ed his wife scrub some vege tables she was going to prepare for dinner while she watched her young son skate by the window on the sidewalk about 20 feet away, ate his breakfast and left the house. He very carefully drove down town at 20 miles per hour, went into his office to catch up on some loose, ends of work, walk ed next door to the cafe for a quick soda pop and told the man behind the counter that he was looking forward to going to the baseball game that afternoon. Apparently there was nothing unusual about this citizen’s be havior that Sunday morning, but by the time he had driven home again he or members of his fam ily had laid themselves liable to fines of $170 by violating di rectly or indirectly six ordin ances of the City of Roanoke Rapids. Does that sound incredible? Well, in a way it is, however the book containing the ordin ances of the city clearly shows that the violations were made. There is a possibility, of course, that a lot of the laws are just a little outmoded or not enforced, but they are laws just the same. According to the ordi nance book, adopted June 13, 1921, the following laws were violated in the foregoing se quence of the solid citizen on a calm Sunday morning: The man’s wife was scrubbing vegetables at a sink less than 25 feet from the street in di rect violation of Article VI, Sec tion 4 which plainly states that “It shall be unlawful to wash meats, clothes, vegetables, etc, within twenty-five feet of any street, well or pump. . . . within the corporate limits of the town. Any person violating this section shall be guilty of a misdemean or and, upon conviction, shall pay a fine of five dollars." Al ready an expensive morning! Well, there’s that child roller skating out on the sidewalk. He’s breaking Article II, Section 21, which says “That no person shall be allowed to skate on roller skates on any granolihic or paved sidewalk in the town of Roa noke Rapids. Any person violat ing this ordinance shall be deem ed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall pay a fine of five dollars.” Might as web throw away those skates! Our good citizen drives care fully down town at 20 miles per hour, little realizing that he is liable for a fine of $50 for a 20-mile-per-hour trip each way because of Article IV, Section 1, which says "That it shall be un lawful for any person to drive an automobile, motor car, motor cycle, or any other vehicle pro pelled by s'eam, gasoline or eh tricity, within the corporate lir its of the town of RopnnS* Ra pids at a rate of speed in er cess of ei^t,,ck,i i,. .a ,,our in the residence portion of town and at a rate of speed in ex cess of ten miles per hour in the business portion of the town.” This is clearly a reason to take it slow and easyl Of course, there is no law against a man’s going to his place of business any day, but to do a little work on Sunday is an other matter entirely. Just look at this one: Article II, Section 41, says "Any tradesman, artifi cer, laborer or other person who shall on Sunday, do, or perform any labor, business or wdrfc, shall upon conviction be fin*d Ten Dollars for every violation of this section; provided, how ever, that this section shall not apply to works of charity and necessity." Better nrit try to catch up on that unnecessary labor! Of course there can’t be any harm in going over for li mid morning pop, or can there? Sec tion 29 of Article II states that “It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to open any house, shop, store or stand on Sunday for the purpose of buying or selling, except in case of absolute necessity, and if any store shall be found open it shall be prima facie evidence that the same was opened by the proprietor or his agent for the purpose of selling; provided, however, drug stores may be kept open at all times on Sun day for the sale of drugs and medicines only, and hotels, cafes and restaurants for the selling and serving of cooked food only to the public; provided, however, that it shall be unlawful for any hotel, cafe or restaurant to sell or serve any carbonated, bottled, fountain, or soft drinks of any kind on Sunday or to serve the same with a meal or meals on Sunday.” The fine for thii ia $25, so that is a right expensive overhead on a five-cent drink! Naturally there is a right for any good fan to go out and cheer for the Jays, especially for a good Sunday double-header. Ac tually there is nothing wrong with it except that the ball game is against the law. Section 40 of Article 11 of the Ordinances states definitely that “It shall be unlawful for any person to play at any game on Sunday within the limits of the town. Any per son violating this section shall be deemed guilty of a .nlsde? meanor and, upon conviction • shall be fined Twenty-five dol lars.” And that is not cheap ■ a ball gamft! Actually John Q. Citizen, !l he doesn’t want to lay himself liable to the law as it is print ed, will find that he hid beltm just say in bed all the Horn .7 It's aU in the book, i * r
