ishment values similar to the "red
meats"?fruits, cereals, dry beans,
soybeans, peas, peanuts, milk and
cheese, poultry, fish, eggs and the
like. Meat bones, included in the ra
tion quota, will go more than ever {
to soup stocks and we'll be serving
such things as kidneys, brains and
heart?not on the ration list?more
often. Farmers who slaughter their
own meats and butchers who handle
them are obligated to keep to the
same rations as the rest of us.
Inflation Fight Makes Big Gain
Rubber boots and work shoes now
are being rationed to war workers
and others who must have them, not
by coupons but by certificates which
eligible purchasers obtain from lo
cal rationing boards. Ordinary over
shoes, which can be made mainly of
reclaimed rubber, aren't affected.
We made a big gain in our fight
to keep down living costs when max
imum prices were fixed for nearly
all foods previously not under con
trol. The only important foods ?
about one-tenth of the total?not now
under price ceilings are fresh fruits
and vegetables, fresh fish and pea
nuts. Rent control?a most import
ant weapon against rising living
costs?is being extended to the en
tire country, in addition to the 396
defense rental areas where rents al
ready have been rolled back.
Automobiles and tires are among
our big problems, whether in storage
or in use. Owners of commercial ve
hicles who are allowed new tires for
essential operations must take spec
ial care of them, have them checked
every 5,000 miles or every 60 days.
And all drivers are expected to drive
as little as possible, keep to the 35
mile maximum speed limit, be sure
tires are properly inflated, share
their cars with others. Used tires
and tubes, which cannot be sold at
present, soon will be rationed ...
Workers' suggestions for increasing
our war output are being "ploughed
back" into industry through 1,600
labor-management committees. La
bor-management cooperation, al
ready established in railway trans
portation, is being extended to the
motor truck industry . . . Women
workers, now heavily employed in
the munitions industry, soon will
make up two-thirds of the labor force ,
in munitions plants. Four-fifths of
all war jobs can be performed by
women, next year we'll need anoth
er five million of them working in
war and other employment . . . The ,
E
letter "S" (for simplified) on work !
clothes means they are up to gov
ernment standards?and under price i
control . . Trainloads of "victory I
scrap" are rolling toward the steel
mills, but there must be no letdown
in the national scrap drive if steel
production is not to lag . . . Pelts for
felt hats are so scarce that there is
a campaign to hunt wild rabbits for
their fur . . . Home canning, storing
or drying of fruits and vegetables
will save labor and materials at the
canning plants? another household
contribution to the war program.

C. Hough will also address the af-1
ternoon meeting which will also hear j
committee reports and special music
by representatives from the Kenne
dy Home. Adjournment is schedul
ed for 3:50 o'clock.
Following the evening meal, the
association will open its last session
at 7 o'clock with a song service.
Special music will be furnished by
the Washington choir, and the pro
gram, planned by Miss Mary Lee
Earnest and associates, will embrace
timely topics relating to Christian
Education, the B T. U. and B. S. U.
All seventy-one churches are ex
pected to have delegates present for |
the meeting here, Dr. Burrell stat-!
ing that we are looking and prepar
ing for them and that all indications
pointed to a great assembly of the
religious group. Commenting briefly
on the size and activity of the asso-'
ciations, Dr. Burrell said, "All phases
of Baptist work sponsored by the i
Baptist State Convention has been j
steadily increasing until the 17,000
church members in the Roanoke have
given to all denominational objects !
around $200,000 during the past
year."

Two Suffer Broken

on the motorcycle. No head-on colli- I
sion resulted, but the vehicles side
swiped one another, catching the i
left legs of Mizelle, the driver, and
Latham between the car and the
two-wheeled vehicle.
Hines was arrested and jailed and
is being held until a hearing is held
or until bond can be arranged.
Damage to the two vehicles was
estimated at $100.
No one was hurt and no great dam
age resulted last Sunday morning
THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
Death broke through repeated
safety appeals, regulations for
decreased speeds and gas and
tire rationing to claim another
human life and threaten sever-'
al others on the highways of this
county last week. Two years ago,
two lives were snuffed out on
Martin County highways in the
same corresponding week, and
strangely enough it has been
years since motorists traveled
through the month of October in
this county without one being
knocked into eternity. Some
would say stay off the highways
in October. That's hardly neces
sary, but everyone can exercise
a greater care in October and the
other eleven months, too.
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.

the scene where Bonnie Latham was
fatally injured a few days before.
Bunn started to turn off the high

two cars at $200 including a ruined

Cruiser Sinkings In
Solomons Stinging
Blow To The Allies!
(Continued from page one)
weight of the fighting had shifted
during the Stalingrad lull .the high
command reported new Russian suc
cesses. Earlier front dispatches said
the Red army had seized the initia
tive on both wings of the Caucasus
front above the Grozny oil fields
and in the Black Sea region.
On the other fronts, the Allies are
still advancing in New Guinea and
are now within twelve miles of the
strategic center of Kokoda.
There is much activity in the air
over the Mediterranean and Egypt,
the Allies blasting away at German
supply bases while the Axis are
pounding away at Malta. Late re
ports from the little Mediterranean
island fortress state that the Axis
have lost 24 planes and had 50 oth
ers damaged during recent fighting
there.
American forces are pouring it
into the Japs in and around the Sol
omons. The Marines, taking the of
fensive, have strengthened their po
sitions on Guadalcanal Island, and
two Jap cruisers were damaged and
15 planes were downed in recent
fighting in that area. High naval au
thorities declare that the Allied
forces can hold their positions in that
area despite frantic efforts by the
Japs to land reinforcements.
An Allied merchantship was re
ported sunk today off the west coast,
presumably by a Jap submarine. Sur
vivors have been landed.
Hitler today issued an ultimatum
to Laval, warning him that all of
France would be occupied if a great
er collaboration is not forthcoming
by the first of the year.
Munitions factories in Delaware
and Maryland were ordered "under
control by the armed forces when
wholesale bribery charges were
lodged against the companies and
certain citizens.
Speaking to the nation last night.
President Roosevelt stressed the need
for lowering the draft age to 18
years, and hinted that local commun
ities would work out their manpow
er problems or a manpower draft
could be expected.
Bear Grass Quartet To
Give Benefit Program
The Bear Grass quartet will ap
pear in a benefit program on Friday
evening of this week at 8:30 o'clock
in the Bear Grass school auditorium,
it was announced. Proceeds from a
small admission charge will be used
for the construction of a new air
plane observation post there.
Leslie T. Foteden Enters
Hospital For Treatment
Mr. Leslie T. Fowden, recently re
tired local postmaster, entered a
Richmond hospital Sunday for treat
ment. Making the trip in a Biggs
ambulance, he was accompanied by
his son, Pete Fowden, and Mr. J.
Paul Simpson. Late reports state
that he is getting along very well.
Care Should Be Taken In
Storing Tractor for Winter
Proper steps should be taken in
storing a tractor for the winter.
If the tractor is equipped with rub
ber tires, block it up so the tires car
ry no weight. It is best to keep the
machine under cover so the tires will
not be exposed to the sun. Also see
that there is no oil or grease on the
tires. Start the tractor every week
or so and allow it to idle until the
engine is warm. This will coat all
engine parts, particularly the cylin
der walls, with fresh hot oil and
will prevent rust due to moisture
condensation. The storage battery
should be kept fully charged

Legion To Maintain
Recruiting Station
Cooperating with the government
in every way possible and forming
one of many units handled by the
American Legion, the John Walton
Hassell Post will open shortly a Na
vy recruiting station in the hut on
Watts Street. The establishment of
the station was unanimously approv
ed at a regular meeting of about 65
post members here last evening
when Chef John A. Ward served the
group 120 squirrels and several
chickens.
"We are planning to keep a re
cruiting officer at the hut during
regularly scheduled hours," Post
Commander John D. Biggs said, add
ing that any young man wishing to
join the Navy could report to the hut
or see him personally. This county
has been assigned a quota of six re
cruits to be met by October 27th.
Young men, subject to immediate
call to the Army, are invited to con
tact the recruiting station and dis
cuss their plans.
Reporting on the post membership
drive, the commander stated that
more than 100 veterans had joined
during the past few weeks.
