had been confined to her bed for sev
eral months.
The daughter of the late Joseph

Croom was born in Beaufort Coun
ty 82 years ago. She had just ob
served her birthday two days before
her death. Marrying Mr. Croom 52
years ago she moved to this county
to make her home and take an ac
tive part in the religious and com
munity affairs in her adopted home.
She was a charter member of the
Robersonville Christian Church, and

Health Department
Employs Sanitarian
Recently employed by the Martin
County Health Department as sani
tarian, Mr. Garland Coltrain is en
tering upon his new duties this week
after a month's training under State
inspectors at Wilmington. During the
first few days he will be assisted in
Leonard, former sanitarian in this
county but who is now connected
with the health department in Ber
tie and Chowan Counties.
| Commenting on the new appoint- |
Iment, Health Officer John Williams
said:
"The work is new to Mr. Coltrain
I but he has had adequate training un
! der good men from the State Board
of Health with work in the defense
[areas where they insist that all laws
made fo rthe protection of the public
, be carried out to the letter. With
such training he may seem strict to
some of the food handling: proprie
tors who are not careful with the U.
S. Public Health Service, the State
and County Board of Health insist
ing that such law be enforced it is
going to be a case of clean up or close
up with many of our places. It is just
as important that every place which
handles food for public consumption
be as clean as those places which sell
drinks or food to our soldiers.
"We feel sure that the new in
spector will find our proprietors co
operative and will do all in their
power to make his work pleasant."
Succeeds Hinton In
Revenue Post Here
Mr J. Roy Overby, formerly of
Norlina but for some months sta

here today. He plans to move his
family here later.
Mr. Hinton, the collector who has
made many friends here and in the
district during the past three years,
is being transferred to Henderson
by the department. "I would have
vigorously objected to the transfer,
if that would have done ahy good,
had it not been that I'll be nearer
home," Mr. Hinton said this morn
ing as he made ready to go into the
next territory.

Stamp Sales Here
Reach High Figure
For Third Quarter
(Continued from page one)
third quarter possibly hit the low
est point in ten years, the amount of
business dropping from $51,952.65 in
July, August and September of last
year to $46,38194. And the decrease
came during a month when income
stood close to a record peak.
While the amount of money sent
away through the local office reflect
ed a decrease, money orders cashed
by the local office showed a fairly
sizable increase. In the third quar
ter of last year the office here cashed
money orders in the sum of $8,174.52
Last quarter the amount was more
than doubled, standing at $19,876.94.
A large portion of that amount was
sent back home by service men to
their families. Some of it is being
placed in savings accounts, some in
bonds and some to help meet the
family budget needs. Possibly a
greater portion of the total is be
ing sent home for safe keeping by
workers who left the community to
work in war industries.
