During Shortest Session in Week" With only three >ases on the dock et, tfie county recorder's court last Mon?ay held its shortest session in recent weeks The proceedings at- ! traded very little attention and the smallest crowcj to attend the court this year was in the oourtroom. The action of the court in handling the lone liquor case on the docket stands out in that Judge H. O. Peel sentenced the defendant, James Leake, to the roads for a period of six months. He was directed to pay the costs of the case, the sentcnoe to begin at the direction of the court at any time within the nest two years. Tendering no plea in the case charging him with bastardy, Wil liam Ourkin was adjudged guilty. The court continued the e?ae under prayer for judgment until the first Monday in May, 1944 Charged with counseling a minor to steal, Carey Wh|tehurst entered a plea of not guilty. At the conclusion of the evidence for the State, the de fense made a motion for a verdict as of not guilty. "Hie motion was al lowed.

Marjorir lllip Adilreniirs Kepn-M-iitaliveii From Fifteen Coimtir* Sixty or more representative* from fifteen of more counties in this aec tion of tlie State heard Mrs Marjorie B. Ilhg. national Commander of the Field Army of the American Society for the Control of Cancer, in an ap pealing address at the Baptist church here today in which she urged her listeners to deal with cancer in its beginning She gave first the historical back ground of the fight against this dreaded disease, which began with Hippocrates, the Greek philosopher, who recognized even in his time the need to work in its earliest stages The army which was organized in 11136 has listed in its 166.000 mem bership the most noted physicians, surgeons and scientists in the coun try. She gave the results of the work by statistical evidence that more people are having annual health check-ups, having examinations earl ier when a danger signal presents itself and pathologists getting spec imens in the earlier stages of the dreaded disease. Another thing the army is respon sible for is bringing the disease out into the open especially those com mon among women, and which are more amenable to cure. She said of 33,000 deaths among women last year 22.000 died needlessly. The symptoms or danger signals are. /is follows: 1. Any lump, no matter how small, in any part of body."especially nr the breast. 2. Any wart or mole that changes in size or color. 3. Any case of persistent indiges tion, especially, if accompanied by loss of weight. 4. Any abnormal discharge from any body opening. 3. Any body sore that does not heal, particularly sores of the mouth. After stressing the importance of seeing a competent physician at once When a symptom is found and getting one or more-of the throe methods of cure, X-ray, radium and surgery. Mrs. Illig made a strong plea to the women of this section to join the army. Join the fight to save the lives of mothers, fathers and children who die needlessly each year because they are not educated to have early examinations when they have the disease. Mrs. Illig was. introduced by Mrs. D. S. Coltrane. of Raleigh, state commander Mrs. Coltrane said that funds which are raised through membership dues .have so far been insufficient to do more than dissem inate literature, but great projects were in the minds of the state lead ers. The ultimate object is to establish hospitals and clinics but in the near future it hopes to endow beds in the hospitals over the state for those unable to get hospital service. Estab lish loan funds, provide transpor tation to and from treatments and have competent persons follow up the eases to see if permanent cure is effected. Mrs. W. L. Beaslcy, Wake County commander, was present. Mrs. W. S. Stincmate. of Elizabeth City, district commander, was in charge of the meeting. ? : Health Report For February Released Martin County's health record re leaned this week by the health de partment carries 2B contagious dis ease cases, the number of such cases showing ? slight gain over the record for the month of January Chicken pox, centered among the white population in Williamston and community, led the list In number of rases Seventeen little tots were victims of the pox during the per iod, later reports stating that it is spreading locally.
