The meeting will continue j for the week but no Sunday service except the evening THE RECORD SPEAKS . . . For the first time in recent weeks, Martin County motorists chalked up a clean record for the week ending yesterday morning. Not a single accident was officially reported, the care exercised by drivers and pedes trians possibly meaning that some person ? your child or mine-?is living today because of that care and thought given to the proper operation of motor vehicles. It seems hard to eliminate ac cidents. but as difficult as it may . be, the task can be han dled to a greater advantage than it is now being handled. It is good for life. limb and proper ty when motorists make the hon or roll, of careful drivers. Keep the good work up. Drive slow ly and save a life. Observe the rules of the road and save prop erty losses Careful driving pays dividends. Nothing raises the price of a blessing like removal. Don't remove the blessing of life! just to learn later its real value.* 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. 37th Week Comparison Accidents Inj'd Killed Dam'ge 1940 0 0 0 $ 000 1939 1 1 0 000 Comparison To Date 1940 64 42 2 $7780 1939 43 37 7 $8815 \\ eekly Review Of The Farm Markets In North Carolina Raleigh?Feed markets strength ened slightly during the past week with moderate offerings of wheat feeds and a fair demand for immed iate and prompt shipment, according to the U. S. and North Carolina De partments of Agriculture in the Weekly Market News Service Re view. Tin index number of wholesale feedstuff prices advanced slightly to 105.6 compared with 105.0 for the previous week and 124.1 for the cor responding week last year. The demand fur farmer's stock Virginia type peanuts in Eastern North Carolina and Virginia was very light and the market weaken ed somewhat during the past week; also very little change in prices from last week's quotations for cleaned and shelled Virginias is evident. On an F.O.B delivery point basis best jumbos commanded from 4 to 4 1-8 cents and best bunch from 3 1-2 to 3 5-8 cents per pound. Meanwhile, the recent weather conditions have been more favorable for maturing of the 1941 crop. Candled and graded U S. extras large and U S. standards large eggs and colored hens were stronger while other grades of eggs and live poul try were steady in the Raleigh area this week A good demand existed for all offerings except current coi-_ lection eggs and fryers. As a result, white U. S. extras large eggs closed at 31 to 32 cents per dozen; U. S. standards large at 27 to 28 cents; hen nery whites at 27 to 28 and current tuated only mildly this week, clos hens gained 2 cents per pound to 15 and 16 cents while fryers held steady at 17 to 18 cents. Though the seasonal decline in creamery butter output continued the past week, production remained at levels much higher than a year earl ier. due to favorable conditions in the major butter-producing states. A 5 per cent decrease was shown in production for the week ending Sep tember 12 compared with the pre ceding week. Output ^as 7 per cent higher than a year earlier, however. At Chicago, fat steers prices fluc Strictly good and choice steers with ing steady to 25 cents lower, the loss still being placed on yearlings and on medium and good grades of steers. Strictly godo and choice steers with weight maintained last week's prices. Hog prices were not materially changed on weights upward to 2ou pounds, but demand has shifted to the weightier hogs and weights from 250 pounds and up show an advance of 15 to 25 cents as did sows. Light hogs under 260 pounds continued a drag on the market and are barely steady. Top of 6,90 was paid for weights up to 250 pounds. Spring lambs declined 25 to 35 cents this week, closing at a top of 9.10 as against 9.50 last Friday. Most west ern springers made 9.25 to 9.35. One lot closely sorted native lambs reach ed 9.65.

More Help Offered To Flood Families Increased aid to low-income farm families hard hit by recent floods has been announced by Miss Ruth Current, director of home demon stration work for the State College Extension Service. The mattress-making program which formerly limited families with an income of less than $400 last year to one free mattress has been broad ened to allow one mattress to each two members of a family in seven teen flooded counties. The counties are: Ashe. Avery. Bertie, Caldwell. Halifax. Haywood, Jackson. McDowell, Martin. North ampton, Polk, Rutherford, Swain, Watauga. Wilkes. Yadkin and Yan cey. Five other counties were af fected by floods, but will not be covered by the new provision either because their damage was slight or because the mattress program is not in effect there. Many families have been left al most destitute in the wake of these floods, Miss Current said. Household belongings as well as crops, live stock and feed on hand were swept away or ruined by the water. By supplying the affected low income families with fret1 mattresses and giving them other possible aid, it is hoped they will recover from the floods' ravages much sooner, the State College home demonstration leader said. Miss Curreni also reported that EXECUTOR'S NOTICE Having this day qualified as exec utor of the estate of Mrs. J. F Jack son, deceased, late of Martin County, North Carolina, this is to notify all persons having claims against the estate to present them to the tinder signed on or before September 20. 1941, or this notice will be pleaded in bar of their recovery.
