A Good Investment During the past five months, the Works Pro gress Administration, the county health depart ment and individuals have invested approxi mately $4,000 in a sanitation project, and when all facts and figures are considered the invest ment is recognized as one of the most valuable ever made In this county. It is hard to measure the results from such a program, but the cost of the program as com pared with allied undertakings really throws light on the subject. Municipalities have spent as much as $600 to provide sanitary conditions in a single home, while the sanitation program now underway?is aiding' hundreds to better health for the small sum of $16 per family. Surely, the larger expenditure made possible conveniences that are not available under the rugged individual system", but when the facts are boiled down to a final analysis the man making the small investment is enjoying health benefits that compare favorably with those en joyed under the more expensive system. The people of Martin County can well afford to give the sanitation problenjgpore serious con sideration. Some deplorable conditions exist in this munly, and public opinion sltould support the health department and its representatives in their attempt to remedy those conditions. There are few or no property owners in this county who are not able to invest $16 wiiere necessary for the protection of their own health and the health of the general public. JSeeing Only One Side Few times in this generation has the public press, or a large portion of it, used headlines in featuring one class of news and shutting its eyes to other classes to a greater extent than it is doing today. In Japan the press leads its people to believe that American citizens ap prove the invasion of China. If the truth were known, the American people are being held in the dark and don't realize it. In Japan, the press is directed to build up false representations; in this country, a conservative press, while yelling about its freedom, chooses for the people what they are to and what they are not to read. Some of those who have been loud in de nouncing the New Deal, the labor leaders and the policies of the administration have sug gested an ex-convict for the Presidency because the ex-convict led an attack against strikers and condemned labor in its claim to the right of collective bargaining. Not until the Senate Civil Liberties Committee made its investiga tion was the shooting of strikers by company police generally carried in the press of the country. While these and similar incidents have been all but ignored, no single item that tended to prejudice the people against the President and his administration has escaped elaboration in the columnist's column and in the big headlines of the conservative press. Few of those who are so bitter against-John L. Lewis stop to think that he was reared in the bowels of the earth, that he witnessed star vation in the coal mines, that he is pleading for a depressed people whose fare is so seldom mentioned in the press. The Hollywood star, the politician; the sportsman and others have their life histories placed before the people through the public press day by day. There is no biographies for John L. Lewis and other men who are devoting their lives to the down trodden. They merely point them out as com munists and quit at that. The press invariably points out that workers are striking for higher wages; it seldom points out that a manufacturing establishment, en joying great prosperity, refuses to pay a living wage. The way happenings in this country are chronicled is about as misleading as when one refers to an establishment selling low-priced articles as a five-cent stare. The Citizen's Part Hertford County Herald. "If we want a decent government in Ameri ca, we must begin at home. Our people turned out every four years for a great national refer endum, but almost half of them ignore their own local elections," says Thomas E. Dewey, district attorney of New York, widely known fur his racket-busting activities and successful defiance of politically-protected crime in his home city. There is no doubt concerning the truth of this statement. If local conditions are unsatisfactory, it is the result of the indiffer ence of the citizens themselves to their owh re sponsibility and interest. Local government is quick to respond to the wishes of the people, but when the-public is unconcerned^ and lndlf ferent about the management of local govern ment it is only to be expected that they will get an indifferent management in return. Every citizen then should take an active and lively in- * terest in local affairs. Knowledge of and partic ipation in them makes for better local govern ment, better communities, better citizens, and fmally, as the statement quoted above says, a better government nationally Freedom About 162 years ago, the forefathers started a war for freedom, a year-around freedom. They got it after a long struggle, but some where along the line the freedom they fought for has been lost to the masses. Blessed with a double-holiday, millions who are held as slaves to typewriters and machines the year long with little interruption, tried to crowd a lot of freedom into the short period. For millions, freedom blossomed forth late last Saturday afternoon just to die 48 hours later as they returned to the role of slaves at the feet of mass industry where they toil to meet the obligations of debt and buy the necessities ol life. And when you think about it, the American people are not so hard to please, after all. Un der the present schedule, the masses report for work day after day and are satisfied when they get a few days off to celebrate the fight for lib erty on the glorious Fourth, the cause of labor on the First Monday in September and the birth of Christ in December. Some few get sum mer vacations, but most of them are without pay. W. H. Basnight & Co., Inc. AHOSK1K, N. C.

Now, according to the shape of the situation on all sides, is the time to slip right up to the top of the league, and win that pennant Overcome Bull Jinx On Friday afternoon, the William ston Martins overcame Bull Hamons for their first time and eked out a 3-1 victory over New Bern. Red Swain, now a big shot in the league's pitching department, hurl ed excellent ball, allowing three hits, striking out five and walking three. Williamston's first marker came in the second as a result of a walk, error and a double. In the fifth, Red Swain doubled, went to third on a sacrifice, and came home on an in field out. In the ninth, Steve Lakatos sin gled, went to second on a wild throw, third on a sacrifice,?and. scored the third run on Swain's long fly. Ace Villepique was the leading batten of- the-day, gatherings three safeties for four trips to the plate. Eddie Ignasiak followed with a dou ble and single for three tries. Little Man Earp featured afield with three put-outs and three as sists. e Too Many Homers Ekcept for the three home runs made by Ayden here Saturday af leiiiuuii, Hit?Mat tins wuuld?have won another ball game?as it was, they lost an 11-inning affair by the score of 5-4. Bill Averette did a fine job on the mound for the locals, but his team mates were unable to overcome the three balls he threw "over the fence." Howard Earp, Ace Villepique and Steve Lakatos each got two for four to lead at bat. * Aid to Batting Averages The majority of the Williamston batting averages were aided great ly Sunday afternoon against Ayden when they hit three pitchers for 17 hits to win 13-4. In the second inning the Martins batted around and then some to score nine runs. In the eighth, Eddie Ignasiak homered with a man on to score another pair. Larry Wade, on the mound for Williamston allowed eight hits while walking 4 and striking out 7. ! "Donald Duck" Wilcox, was the slugger of the day, getting four for fiye. He was followed by Dutch; Stanley and Eddie Ignasiak, both having three for four. The Famous Squeese Play With the signal, for the "squeeze play" on in the fourth inning. Low lery bunted down first base line. Eddie Ignasiak didn't make a clean I I pickup, and the runner crossed the^ I plate, scoring the lone run of the I morning game yesterday. . I Charlie Wry dueled with Robin I son for nine innings on even terms 1 except for that play, giving up six safeties and striking out six Both Breezy Beaird, pinch-bitting for Rhinehardt, gave local fans a thrill when he knocked a drive, foul by inches, that would have scored two | runs. Eddie Ignasiak was the only Mar tin to obtain more than one base I knock, his first missing the top, of the left field fence by Inches. Same Day?Same Ball Clubs But Different Pitchers Yesteiday afternoon, climaxing the July Fourth celebrations, Wil liamston waded into Siemenski for nine runs in the first two frames before one of the largest crowds to I attend this season, gaining revenge lover Tarboro, 10-1. Breezy Beaird was right, and with the big lead, practitally un | beatable: Featuring in the batting depart I ment for the day was the home run I over right field fence by Eddie Ig nasiak, Ace Villeplque's four hits land the two doubles by Steve la> jkatoa in the second inning.

Havjjtgseen the activi ties of our sistaf counties and real izing that Martin County, my home county, is so far behind I cannot help but say something. Maybe I should not, and T heli?\^ jn trying? to remedy things sometimes before they happen, and don't have any patience with the class who says it can't be done. *? The critics who have fared better the past six years than ever in their lives get more comfort by going about cussin' Franklin Roosevelt, Harold Ickes, Harry Wallace and in our section, Lindsay Warren, and others, than they do trying to do something. There never has been a day when the U. S. Government stood with outstretched hands to tin.', people nf high and low esto as today and as all historians know Jesus Christ himself looked back on Jerusalem and told them what he would have done for, them, but they were a stiff necked, rebellious peo ple. So we are today. But come what may, there is none who can say that Franklin D. Roosevelt did not personally or through the var ious government agencies, offer them and all people a chance.
