ESTABLISHED 1899 Governor Appoints Goodmon Hea d Of United Service Unit To Meet Governor This VI eek For Discu^ion of Plan** For Organization Raymond H. Goodmon, already titled with a number of public jobs offering no remuneration, has been called to service again. This time he has been named Martin County chairman for United Service Organ ization Work, the appointment com ing from Governor J. M Broughton last week-end. The following letter received by Mr. Goodmon from R M. Hanes, State Chairman, explains the ap pointment and the work of the new organization: "Governor Broughton has notified me that he has appointed you chair man for your county for the pur pose of organizing the work of the United Service Organizations. I earnestly hope, with him, that you will accept this call to service. I know you will agree with me that every man and woman who is not directly connected with our armed forces should have some part in sup porting those who have been called to the colors. "The United Service Organizations is a merger of the activities, for war work, of the Y.M.C.A., the National Catholic Community Service, the Salvation Army, the Y.W.C.A., the Jewish Welfare Board, and the Na tional Travelers Aid Association. This cooperation effort will eliminate competition and duplication of ef- , fort whlcl\ were prevalent in the last war, reduce expense and in crease efficiency. "The-.,Government gives the boys in service every care while on the military reservation, but when they leave on week-ends to visit nearby towns, which m many cases are very small and unable to provide whole some recreation facilities and suffi cient religious environment, they therefore become victims of "juke joints," "trailer palaces," bootleg shacks, and other places of the low est order. The United Service Or ganizations proposes to change these conditions by offering, in buildings and on grounds provided by the Gov ernment, wholesome and decent leis ure-time activities and a homelike atmosphere, to the end that our boys may return to their homes improved physically, mentally and in charac ter. "This movement was initiated at the request of the President of the United States, backed by the full support of the War and Navy De partments. I know you will feel that you should have a part in this most important work and that you will meet Governor Broughton and the national leaders of this movement at the Sid Walter Hotel, Raleigh, 10:30 a. m., May 22, where full details and information will be made available to you. I hope that you will not only come, but will bring with you as many outstanding citizens in your county as possible, together with a representative, from cactLof the par ticipating agencies in this movement, post commanders of the American Legion, and ministers. "The need for service is great, the call is yours, and I am sure you will not fail the Governor." Three-way Race For Congressional Seat $ Early developments on the First Congressional political front indicate that a warm battle is in the offing for congressman from this district. Following Herbert Leary's formal announcement of his candidacy ten days ago. M. K. Blount, well known Greenville attorney and business man. tossed his hat into the ring last week-end. Herbert Bonner, who took over the post made vacant last year by Lindsay Warren's resignation, is admittedly in the race. Announcing his candidacy, Mr. Blount pointed out that it was Pitt County's time to have the post, that the county had not been represent ed in Congress by one of its sons in half a century. No official statement has been issued by Mr. Blount in connection with his candidacy other .than that he did say "that the'con gressman chosen next year should come from Pitt County" and that it was his intention to make the race. Storm Does Little Damage In County ??? A wind and hail storm, aweeping ovc - a large section of eastern Car olina last Saturday evening, did no great damage in this county.

"We are making a slow start, but with good weather and 'luck* we should be pumping water out of the deep well early in July," C. H Brown, representative of the Layne- I Atlantic Company and superinten dent of the project here, said yester- I day. Mr. Brown explained that it was difficult to get material, that his company brought piping from a branch office in George Sunday, but that most of the equipment would be furnished by the Norfolk depot* Work on the derrick for handling the drills is almost completed, and by the latter part of next week the out come of the test well should be de termined. Mr. Brown explaining that a test is made before work on the main well is started. Work on the street project is pro gressing rapidly. Representative Ho cutt of the J M. Gregory Contract ing firm, stating yesterday that the foundations for the surfacing will be ready on or about the second day of June, that only a few days will be required to complete the work.

Defense Movement Is Looking to the Farm NO MEETING Organized some lime ago in an effort to start a back-to church movement, the William ston Greater Church Association after remaining idle for several last night to pump new life into its own veins, but did not suc ceed. The group with three of the ministers missing and with only two or three laymen reporting went no further than the church steps. After waiting the greater part of an hour, the group dis persed. Disturbed over the ever-de creasing attendance upon the church services, local ministers and interested laymen several months ago organized the Wil liamson Greater Church Asso ciation. The organization has not been very active for one rea son or another and its accom plishments have been limited.

Ask Adequate Food Supply For Meeting In A War Emergency -$ Alnrliii ( inmt\ F?riiH'r?i ni|?l Farm Women Crged To Take Fart in Program Without offering to excite anyone, national leaders are appealing to all classes to join together in meeting the grave situation facing this na tion and the world, the latest appeal being directed to the farmers and farm wives, the groups who form the backbone of the nation. The authorities do not say so in so many words, but there is some reason to believe that this nation is heading into a food and feed short age If the needs of starving peoples in other lands are met. the supply in this nation will be virtually ex hdusted In a meeting of agricultural work ers held in the county agricultural building here yesterday, the serious ness of the situation as it applies to food and feed was not mentioned. The group, one of thousands to meet throughout th& country, did ap proach the problem from the stand point that should an emergency pre sent itself it could be handled, and at the same time effect a better diet for all people. There is a nation-wide movement being advanced to get all farm fam ilies to make themselves virtually independent upon others for food? and feeds In tfiis county, as in oth er counties of North Carolina, far mers, large and small and white and colored, are being asked to co operate in the program, to pledge their efforts in the movement to meet any national emergency that may arise. Pledge cards, carrying no stipulated responsibility other than by voluntary action, are being plac ed in the hands of about 3.000 far mers in this county. Every farmer is asked and urged to read the card carefully and decide whether he is ready and willing to help meet the great emergency now facing this country. Committees are being nam ed in the several townships to assist any one in filling in the cards Far mers are asked to contact the com mittee members or a representative of the home or county agent's of fice and act in support of the pro gram. Any farm family preserving 75 per cent of its food supply will got recognition from the governor of the State. The farmer, signing one of the cards, promises to, 1. Produce ade quate food to feed all people living on the farm This means a garden of at least 1-10 acre per person, milk and poultry products, a meat sup ply and conserving of surplus foods (Continued on page six) Several Forest Fires Re[M)rted In (lounty Following a siege that kept war dens going night and day for more than a week last month, forest fires broke out in the county again last week, but on a comparatively small scale. County Warden Marvin Leggctt said yesterday that two small fires were reported, that no great dam age resulted. Thought to have been fired by a train, fire burned over about 15 acres on the C. A. Hough farm in Jamesville Township. The second fire, believed to have been started by a carleess smoker, burn ed over alx>ut 30 acres belonging to Henr^C. florman in Cross Roads Township. Forest fires, burning later than usual for the season of the year, have caused extensive damage in other areas during the past few days, but they have been well controlled in this county by the forest protection service and by a cooperating pub Ik. Big Battle Raging On Island of Crete Following Invasion ? More Hum I (MMHI Drrmaih Said To Hum* I'mhI Glid ers To Kcuch Island ? A furious battle was reported to be raging on the little Greek island of Crete in the Mediterranean this morning, following an invasion of more than 10,000 German soldiers by parachutes, transport planes and gliders. No news of the battle could be gained, but it was declared that the Nazis were striking with force and |x>ssibly cutting out a pattern for the invasion attempt on the Brit ish Isles later on. British. New Zealand and Greek troops are defending the island where the Greek government offi cials took refuge following the in vasion of their country. The number of troops engaged in the defense of the island, a strategic spot in the Mediterranean area, was not disclos ed. It was the first time in history that gliders have been used by the enemy in invading another's terri tory. The estimates of the number of pcrman soldiers flying down on the island ranged as^rtgl'i "!1SvIZ()00 men. but the ammJit and nature^ equipment carried Vith them were not revealed In addiYion to the at tack led by thpzsoldigrs who made the 70-mile sea hops^erman airmen were said to bo**fx>unding the terri tory after a furious fashion. The outlook was described in some quar tcrs as serious for the island defend. ers. While the combined forces were defending Crete, the British, with the aid of DcGaulie's Free French, are trying to bring the Iraq situation un der control before material aid can be sent there by Germany. The Free French forces were said to have used effectively American-made planes 111 the attack on German air bases in Syria and Iraq There were the week-end bomb ings. but tlie war in the air over England has been comparatively quiet during the past day or two. The battle of the Atlantic grows nlore serious day, by day. the Germans claiming they had sent to the bottom during the past 24 hours more than 45.1)00 tons of British shipping. 1 he fight in Ethiopia Is about over for the Wops, and the British can now repair to Africa to take part In the fight against the Germans there. No startling developments have been reported over a wide war front, but the general situation, it is gener ally believed. Is rapidly becoming more serious not bnly for Britain but for this country also. Every effort is being made to g.urn the Ameri can people uboul the dangers uhead without undue ularm of excitement. The French position, swinging from one point to the other extreme, is causing much concern, and it is fair ly apparent that French leaders such as ageing Petain and obstinate Har lan are anxious for a German vic tory. France has said that she will fight i(_the United States moves tu take over Martinique and other French possessions in this part of the world, meaning that Germany will recognize it us an act of war In this country there are repeat ed reports about industrialists re fusing to withdraw aid to Germany on account of the possibility of "hurting" business.

Curne, well known resident of Jamesville Township, died in a Washington hospital yes terday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock fol lowing an illness of only a few weeks duration. She had been in the hos pital for treatment two weeks, the exact cause of her death not being determined. Subjected suddenly to a terrible cough about two months ago.

Crime Front Marked by Peace And Quietness in the County Peace and quiet have marked the I crime front in this county during the | past several days, according to a re- | port released yesterday by Sheriff j C. B. Roebuck. Two or three drunks were jailed over the week-end and there is evidence that the illicit li quor business continues operations. Two of the illicit plants were wreck ed and a man was arrested at a still in the Free Union Section of James ville Township early Sunday. "For the first time in several days we have received no crime reports, not even one relating to chicken stealing, shop-lifting or other petty crimes." the high sheriff declared. The officer was of the opinion that last week was one of the dullest for crime of any like period since he has been in office. Unable to offer any detailed ex planation for the inactivity on the crime front, the sheriff is of the opin ion that nearly everyone is employ ed. that the devil has few work shops in idle minds, ami that the needs of many are not >o urgent that they ar?' forced to resort to stealing Their bodies tired from increased toil in the fields, factories and other places of employment, those guys who enjoy a rough.house or act with out thinking, as a rule, have remain ed peaceful in recent days. That crime is shrinking up for the present, at least, is also indicated in the size of the county court criminal docket A Tone case was scheduled for trial Monday, and the session was ended in less than ten minutes "You can never tell, however," the sheriff sighed, explaining that the lid may blow off at any time and cause the common jail to he filled to overflowing A late unofficial report not includ ?>d m the shei iff's crime summary, tells of a $200 feed warehouse rob bery in ftolK't'sonville la t Saturday night. Prisoner Is Almost Suffocated In Jail Fire Early Sunday 1-1? Leon Hull KuhIs Hemoved \From Oil in IJncoiiM'ioih Condition i ? Leon Hall Bawls, young county white man. was almost suffocated by smoke from a burning mattress and blanket in the county jail here early last Sunday morning, officers of the night watch declaring that they thought the prisoner was dying at one time soon after he had been re moved from his cell. Removed from the smoked cell in an unconscious condition. Bawls did not recover consciousness for about an hour. Officers, calling a doctor to the jail, worked with the man, ap plying cold towels to his face and head. His condition was much im proved and he was able to mumble a few words when medical aid reach ed him. His recovery was fairly rap id after that and he was released un der bond later in the day. While he carried the smell of burned cotton with him and possibly much smoke in his system, his condition was said to be fairly normal when he left the jail. Charged with being drunk and dis orderly, Bawls after being warned by police to go ahead home, was jailed by Officers John Roebuck and John Gurganus about 5 o'clock Hun day morning. He was said to have threatened the life of a man at a filling station after he had received | the warning. According to reports, the arresting police wore subjected | to a heavy bombardment of curse | words and threats. Regaining con- j sctmisness after the smoke ordeal. I Bawls talked humbly, but it was said at the time he was released he de clared that he would never be jailed alive again, that he was going to be preparer! next time: Details of the fire could not be learned, and while it is possible that he fired the mattress accidentally, it is thought by some he fired mattress and blanket intentionally When the smoke began to form, Rawls yelled for help. "I am stifling to death," he cried. Mrs. Roy Peel, the jailer's wife, ripened the blind door to the fire-proof cell and town officers, in the temporary absence of the jail er .answered the call for help. They reached him just about the time he lost consciousness. "I thought he was going to choke to death," Officer Gurganus said, adding that the or deal apparently helped sober him up. Rawls, said to be dependable when .sober, acts with little discretion when under the influence of liquor, it was explained. A hearing in the case is scheduled tonight before Justice J. L.

As a tiny infant she experienced the hardships growing out of war and later out of reconstruction. Those experience's gained in her tender years no doubt taught her to share the sorrows of others, to make her wishes and likes secondary to those of her family and fedlowman. Her walk through life, while unpreten tious, served as a guiding example for others to follow.
