Committee Elections ? ? i Scheduled in Countv APPROVAL v. Although prices were not up to general expectations when to bacco sales were resumed on the markets this week, farmers for the most part expressed ap preciation for the help offered by the federal government in re lieving a bad situation surround ing the marketing of thr current tobacco crop. There was some dissatisfaction expressed on the markets early Tuesday, but as prices climbed to about a 15-eent level later in the day. farmers began to recog nize the valur of thr efforts ad vanced by the government. "Prices may not be high, but I hate to think what thrv would have brrn had the control meas ure failed of passage." a farmer said. Martin Native Died Wednesday at Home In Beaufort County I 1111? i.11 for Mrs. I.oii Peel l*| lli-DI at (iedar llram-li N esterday Funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the Cedar Branch Baptist church,) near Jamesville, by Rev W B. Har rington, for Mrs. Annie Roberson FVel. who died in Beaufort County, near Pinetwwn, Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Suffering with Blight's and a complication of diseases, Mrs. Peel, wife of Mr Lawrence Peel, had [ experienced failing health for number of months She was able to I he up until alxiut six weeks ago) when her condition became worse. The last few days of ht*r life were marked by intense suffering, but she bravely bore her affliction apd with nut murmur : The daughter of the late Asa and Nancy Peel Roberson. she was born | in Griffins Township, this county, forty-nine years ago In early wo-1 manhood, she as married to Mr Peel and lived in various parts of | the county while he was engaged in | school teaching and farming Dur ing the early part of this year the I family moved to Beaufort Courtty.l locating <ni a farm about eight miles] from Pinetown. Several years ago and while the family was making its home near Jamesville. she joined the Baptist church at Cedar Branch. She was faithful in her worship there and her membership was valued by church leaders. Mrs. Peel was a good neighbor, a devoted mother and a thoughtful wife. She was held in high esteem by all who knew her, and she enjoyed a large friendship circle in those communities where the fam ily had made its home. Besides her husband she leaves) five children, three sons, Haney J. Peel, Luther D. Peel and James A Peel, all of Beaufort County, and two | daughters. Mrs Jack Roberson and | mouth, Va She is also survived by) four brothers, Messrs. Eddie Rober son, of Griffins Township; John H. j and Sanford Roberson, both of Wil liamston, and one sister, Mrs. Tillie Gannell. of Portsmouth, New Damp- | shire. , Following the church service at Cedar Branch, burial was made in the family plot at the Hardison Mill in the Farm Life community of Grif fins Township Appreciative Group Hears Mordelia Trio i Pietro Mordelia and his two love ly daughters. Flora and Rita, have probably played to larger audiences but not to a more appreciative one than they did here last night. The high school auditorium was by no means full, but those who went out for the high-class entertainment were well rewarded. Pietro Mordelia, the son of an Ital ian who made the first piano-accor du.n in this country, gave his au dience fust consideration, playing what it wanted a!nd asked for. Most of the numbers !^jvere confined to scmi-classics and popular music. Flora, a graduate in music at Bos ton University and the winner of the Beethoven pF&e- for sopranos two years ago in New England, did the solo work, accompanied by her fa ther either with the accordian or the piano. Rita Mordelia gave several hum orous * impersonations and readings that were enjoyed by the entire au dience. - Truly a musical and interesting family, Pietro and his daughters gave their audience all they asked for. The program was interesting from begin ning to end and those who were for tunate enough to be present were unanimous in their approval and ap preciation of the entire program. Number of the Old Mend)ers Ineligible For Future Servie e Farmers Will Name (loiumit tee Members Week After Next In Thin County Machinery for placing the Agricul tural Adjustment Administration Act back in operation will be set up week after next when tobacco growers arc to elect their community and coun ty committeemen who will assign acreage quotas and administer the act locally. Plans for holding the dis trict elections were formulated by the county committee in meeting here Wednesday afternoon. Instruc tions for holding the meetings will be advanced at a meeting of the community committee chairmen here on Monday, October 23, at 2:00 p. m. The first community elections will get underway the evening of Octo ber 2f jaccording to a schedule pre pared by the county committee. Much of the criticism directed against the control program has been centered in and around the lo cal and county committee activities, A review of the activities prove that | many, if not all. the complaints have been biased and without firm foun- I dation, but the new elections will | give farmers an opportunity to ef feet any changes in the committee personnel, and every tobacco grow er in the county is invited and urged I to participate in the elections. At | least eighteen of the old committee men have through excessive plant ings rendered themselves ineligible for service as committeemen for the coming year It is also possible fori the farmers to elect new committees | in their entirety, but it is reasonable to believe that when the time comes, the growers will re-elect quite a few if not most of the old committeemen ] who are eligible to continue in their positions. teernen are, as follows: Bear Grass: E C Harrison.

The first of the community elec tions will be held on Tuesday, Octo ber 24. at 7:30 p. m. at Bear Grass, Rohersoiiville, and Oak City. On Wednesday, October 25. at the same hour, elections will be held in Hamilton, Cross Roads and Griffins Townships. The last of the scheduled elections will be held at the same hour on Thursday, October 2(3, in Williams ton. Jamesville and Williams Town ships.

Arthur H. Marshall, one-time lector of the Church of the Advent here and St. Martin's Parish, Hamil^ ton, died last Monday night in a Columbia (S.C.) hospital. The jovial minister came here from Plymouth in 1929 and from that time until he left for Belhaven in 1932 he carried on an able work in the religious field and entered readily upon the duties so frequent ly assigned to community leaders. Gassed during the war, Mr. Mar shall experienced feeble health dur ing much of the time, but he carried on his work until about three weeks agoi when he entered the hospital at Columbia. ' ' During the past few years he was rector of the Episcopal church in Southport, and working out of there he plied the waterways of North Carolina with a small boat, carrying religious messages to isolated peo ple over a wide territory. His work, touching more than 100 small points along the waterways, attracted na tional attention. Funeral services were conducted at Southport yesterday afternoon Leaf Sales Resumed \\ itli Priee Average r Showing An Increase ??? Salrt> To Ortohrr I Jiisl :i Km Million Cmlrr TIiom* of The Past V cur ? That North Carolina tobacco grow ers will receive loss money for the bumper crop this year than they re ceived for a small crop last year is clearly indicated m the official re ports showing comparative sales and prices up to October 1 this year a-nd for the corresponding period in 1938. Despite the holiday that held the "markets idle during more than half of September, sales so far this year are just a little over thirty million pounds less than they were to Octo ber 1, last year, when there was no interruption in the marketing activ ities. North Carolina tobacco ware houses sold 235,049,504 pounds of producers' tobacco at an average sea son's price of $14.7(1 up to the first of this month as compared with 265. 153.771 pounds for an average of $22.25 for the same period a year ago As a result of the markets being closed on September 13th, Septem her sales for this year totaled only 91,958,277 pounds as compared with 182,065,634 pounds for September of last year. This year's September price averaged $12 76 which is more than 3 cents less than August sales average and almost 0 cents less than September of 1938. Tn this belt, the thirteen markets sold 55.141,918 pounds during the twelve selling days m September for an average price of $12.61 against a price average of $21.80 during Sep tember of last year. Season sales on the thirteen markets,up to the time the holiday ended on Tuesday of this week amounted to 118.295.460 pounds The price average was $13.89 as against $2198 paid the growers for thi" corresponding period in 1938 No official sales figures m the belt, as a whole, are available for the per iod since the markets opened on Tuesday of this week, but reliable estimates show that the price trend during the four-dav selling period this week has been upward with the prices averaging from two and one half to tlnee rents highei?than the average reported for the- month ?it September. The1 Williamston market sold well ove-r four million pounds before- the first of Octobe-r at an average- of $13.93 as against the- be lt ave rage of $13.89. The1 re-port was incomplete as two warcheiuses had iie?t filed them sales figures for the- period. Tells Experience As Tobacco ( urer Indanada Recently Mnrkrd Variation in CiixIoiiih Th ere And in I oiled Stairs Leslie Smith, county man, had some rich cxponrnn'.s to relate fol lowing his recent return from Can ada where he cured tnhacco during the past season The work m some sections of Canada is all right, and the young man is ready and willing to return but Tie is not so kern about going back to the farm where he was located this year Stationed on a large farm nearly 40 miles from any town, Smith said he found himself in a Hungarian community, that there was a mark ed variation in their customs as com pared with those back in the States Reporting to the farm owner, a doc tor who lived in a town sixty miles distant, Smith said he did nut see his boss but twice during the entire sea son. It was tough going for the young man to get accustomed to the ways of the Hungarians and after recognizing it impossible to live as they lived he started cooking for himself. He : bought small sausages from a store not far from the farm where he worked and set up house-keeping in and around the tobacco barns, and lived there most of the time "The Hungarians would kill a hog, wrap him in sacks and sawdust and set fire to sawdust and sacks Then they would take him out, rake off the hair, dress him and the meat was then ready for serving," Smith ex plained. A human being at death was rec ognized no more than any other ani mal. While Sunday observance us un known among some groups, a per mit for Sunday work is required in other communities. In some sections, according to Smith, there is a high standard of living and the people are unusually friendly and nice. While the Martin County man experienced no trouble or ill feeling, he is not so keen oil spending several months with the Hungarians next summer. The farmers in Canada, as a.gen eral rule, are learning tobacco cul ture mighty slow, according to Smith, who said that they were doing fair ly well in cultivating the crop.

The department was entered in the 19 Hi) health conservation contest whieh is sponsored by the United States Chamber of Commerce and the American Public Health Asso ciation. We have started a county wide! campaign against municipal unelean liuess The town of Hamilton and the! town of Williamston have called special meetings of their commission , crs asking the Martin County Health | Department to direct campaigns in their towns Those towns have coop crated by. sponsoring the movement and giving" it publicity It is our pur pose to make these campaigns per manent In Williamston particularly, there has been a decided increase m the cleanliness of the back alleys of the business section. This campaign was publicized in the news-letter of the health consei viition contest. During this quarter we were for tunate in having an assistant health officer, and an additional nurse for six weeks, withop.t cost to the coun ty They helped m completing our instruction and supervision of the midwives. They also made it easier for the personnel to take much need ed vacations without hindering the progress of our work The maternity and infancy cen ters were fairly well attended with a total of 33 patients being exumin ed The venereal disease clinics had a slump in attendance due proba I?I y to tin* harvesting of the -tobacco .crop. 2H22 patients came to the veil i real disease clinics for eithei treat nieiit .examination, or advice during the quarter. Plans for an extensive school health program were studied and several new procedures were start ed. All applicants for school bus driv < is' permits were given a visual test, and exactly one third failed. To re quire a bus driver to have good vi sion is a safeguard against many highway accidents" and injuries to school children It was decided to stress the importance of visual health in examining the school children, and to determine the relationship be tween visual defects and poor illum ination and to determine the num her of repeaters due to poor eyesight.

Hitler said a few days ago that unless his peace terms were accepted, Germany would fight to a finish Daladier, speaking for the French, and Chamberlain, speak-'i ing for the English, said no peace could be founrled on the invasion of Poland and that peace could not be considered as long as Hltlcrisrn pre vails in Germany. England and France declare th#*y are ready, to fight to a finish Some observers predict peace will be considered. Other observers pre dict a fight to a finish, and that a strong German offensive can be ex peeled shortly. While Germany is accepting inva sion costs, Russia is reaching out for more territory to aggravate the gen eral European situation Finland and Sweden are fast setting up a defense against Russia while Italy, occupy ing a precarious position on the pro verbial limb, is quiet. Italy has ver bally attacked Hitler's friends on the one hand and his enemies on the other. England has negotiated trade agreements with Russia and Ger many is complaining about the in ferior quality goods she is receiving from Russia.

The large American manufactured car carried a French license and the group of three ? a chauffeur and two French women?was traveling South. Coming to this country just a short time ago, the members of the party could not speak Fug lish very well and withheld all comment on the foreign situa lion.
