Large Crowd Sees
W edding in School
A large crowd witnessed the Tom
Thumb Wedding held in the high
school auditorium last evening under
the sponsorship of the Williamston
Parent-Teacher Association. Fifty
pre-.1 chool children, assisted by a
choir of first and second graders,
participated in the affair, which was
marked by colorful costumes and a
beautiful stage settling. The little
''its performed their roles with con
fidence and skill, and the splendid
program proceeded without mishap
< xcept for the "thumping of two nog
gins" as an enthusiastic usher put all
of his energies into a sweeping bow
which almost floored both usher and
guest
Admissions from the audience,
composed largely of adults, netted
approximately sixty-five dollars for
the finance committee of the local
association. which sponsored the
program. The funds will be used to
promote parent-teacher projects in
the local schools. ;

Russians Again Ask
Creation Of Second
Front Against Nazis
(Continued from page one)
ture of Moscow today had been up
set. The situation, however, looked
dark in the Crimea as the strong Nazi
forces pushed on toward the Black
Sea.
Encouraging reports came out of
Finland, indicating that the Finns
would halt their military action
against Russia. It was also intimated
that Hitler was withdrawing his
planes from the Leningrad and Mos
cow areas, a recognized admission
that the drives there had not been
up to expectations.
While no second front is in the off
ing in the West, aid to Russia is be
ing increased by this country. A bil
lion dollars worth of supplies are to
be made available under lease-lend
terms.
Talk of a gun attack on Mussolini |
has not been confirmed.
Japan is sending a special envoy,
Saburo Kurusu, to this country, to
tell us that her patience is exhausted,
abou the situation in the Far East.
There'll be no more appeasement j
here, observers think.
Peanut Market Is
Slightly Weaker
Possibly because millers have been j
literally "swamped" hv heavy de
liveries during recent days, peanut
prices began sagging under the pres
sure this week. After climbing to a
faiily stable market at &vt^ cents a
|X)iind, the prices are ranging around
four and three-quarters today, one
report stating that it has to be a
good p? anut to eommund a prico
above that figure While a five-cent
market was reported, few sales were
being made at that figure today.
General rains willv delay thresh
ing operations until some time next
week, but no material decrease in
deliveries was noticed today.
Reliable reports state that 75 per
cent of. the crop in this immediate
area has been harvested and that
well over half of it has moved to
market.
Rains Are General
In This Section
Water levels continue at a low
point in wells and creeks, but gen
eral rains falling in this section yes
terday greatly relieved the serious
condition created by prolonged dry
weather.
Precipitation for the year, to date,
is still far below normal, the total
rainfall for the past three months
being 9.14 inches below the amount
n-f-nrHi-d fur August S..pt??mhpr and
October of last year. October rainfall
measured exactly two inches, most
of that amount falling on Monday
of last week. Yesterday 1.27 inches
of rain fell here, reports stating that
the fall was much heavier in other
sections of the county and in ad
joining territory. So far this month,
1.52 inches of rain have been record
ed at this point.
Reporting the October rainfall,
Hugh Spruill, bi ldgekeeper, stated
that there was a trace of rain on
October 2, followed by 1.91 inches on
the 27th and .09 of an inch on the
28th.

Interesting Chapel
Programs In School

this morning by the toy orchestra
composed of second grade children
enrolled in Miss Benson's room. The
youthful musicians creditably ren
dered several numbers including
The Star Spangled Banner", to the
piano accompaniment of Miss Mew
born.
A number of parents visited the
school to hear the program, which
marked the first appearance of the
toy orchestra during the present
school term.
Assembly programs at both schools
continue to prove interesting and
entertaining to the pupils Themes
of programs presented last week
were "Safety" and "Halloween."
Grades one, two and three assemble
on Fridays; four, five, six and seven
on Tuesdays.
Rev. Piephoff addressed the high
school students on Wednesday.

an opportunity to hear James C.

Number Of Bears
Killed In County
Bears are paying with their Uvea
(or raids made on farmers' corn and
(or visiting wells in Griffins Town
ship during the past two weeks.
Their sources of water dried up and
apparently experiencing a food
shortage, bears have wandered out
of the old J. and W. pocosin in fair
ly large numbers to find water and
food As far as it could be learned
no hogs or other animals have been
attacked by the bears, but com
fields and oak trees have been raid
ed. Several bears were killea in oak
trees, Elder P. E. Getsinger knocking
out a small one yesterday morning
after the animal had torn several
his home. Two or three bears have
been killed in corn fields.
According to Farmer Arthur Rob
erson, Hunter Jim Gurkin had a
fairly narrow escape from an at
tack by a big 230-pound bear a few
days ago. The first one or two shots
only made the bear run. The hunter
continued after him, and after he
had been shot several more times,
the animal turned and was heading
toward Mr Gurkin with his paws
outstretched when an eleventh snot
brought him down dead.
It is understood that fifteen or
more bears have been killed in the
county during the past few weeks.
Best Way To Treat Soft
Rot Of Street Potatoes
If sweet potato soft rot becomes
severe at any time during the stor
age period, the house should be heat
ed until the potatoes are dried out
and the moisture disappears. The
diseased potatoes will dry up and
should not be removed. Once stor
ed, it should be remembered that po
tatoes should not be handled until
ready to ship or sell.
