Hardly before the group was sift ed out and the small portion of the December call inducted into service, another group, answering the Jan uary call, reported to be run through the sifter. Most of the men making the trip to the induction center this week are understood rejected With the exc^WPB^^ae or two th< men returned late last night, ant those who were accepted will enjoj a seven-day furlough before return ing for actual service. The group was one of the largest, if not the largest to report from this county. Williamston Native Missing In Action Lieutenant Walter Earl Brown, na tive of Williamston and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Brown, of Wil son, was reported missing by the Na vy Department in a special commun ication received by relatives last week-end. The young man, a mem ber fo the Medical Corps, United Slates Navy, was reported missing following action in the performance of his duty and in the service of his country, the message first received by his wife, Mrs. Mary Dickinson Brown, of Fremont, stated. He was last heard from by letter last No vember 9th. Brown, 29 years old, lived here as a child, going when quite young with his-parents to Baltimore. Tht fam ily later located in Wilson where he completed high school. He was grad uated from the University of North Carolina and completed his medical course at Duke, later doing his in terne work in a Rocky Mount hospi tal. Volunteering his services, he en tered the Navy’s Medical Corps in 1940. He married Miss Mary Dickinson Hooks in 1939, and is a nephew of Mr. R. B. Brown and Mrs. C. O. Moore, of Williamston. Three Fail To Report When Called By Army Three colored registrants, sched uled to answer a current draft call, failed to report this week in this county, and their names are being turned over to the authorities. Two others, unable to get transportation to town, reported late and they were sent down on regular busses, the others, numbering approximately 100 men, made the trip to the induction center in two special tractor-trailer busses. program during January and early February follow: Coffee—Coupon No. 27 in War Ra - tion Book One good for purchase of one pound of coffee until February 8th.

P^t Year Hectie Qtt For Illegal Business ROUND-UP 1 J The law’s regular round-up of alleged violators of the peace again fell below its general av erage last week-end when only six persons were arrested and jailed. There was a marked scarcity of drunks; at least, only two were booked on that count during the period. Possi bly one or more escaped the claws of local police, but the staggering nuisances were not as brazen as they generally are on the streets on Saturdays. One was booked for drunken driving, one for being drunk on the streets, another for larceny, another for investigation and two others for assaults with deadly weapon. Three of the six were young white men. County Mutual Fire Insurance Officers - Stockholders Meet -* Sylvester Peel, President, and All Other Officers Are Re-elected Saturday Holding their annual meeting in the county courthouse last Saturday, stockholders of the Martin County Branch of the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Association, re-elected all their officers and directors and heard a review of the branch’s operations during the past year.

The association had a very success ful year in 1942. Fire losses amount id to only $3,551.54.

Paul Simpson, of the county Air Raid Warning Service. The public is in vited and urged to attend the meet ing. Lieutenant R. E. Manchee, of the First Fighter Command, Norfolk, will attend the meeting ,and an in teresting and instructive program is being planned. Representatives from the county civilian defense corps are invited and urged to attend the meet ing. Seventy-one Liquor Stills Captured By Enforcement Unit -9 Sugar Rationing and Shortage In Other Materials I'Jaee Bootleggers on Spot The nation’s normal economy will long remember the depression per iod back in the early thirties, but the difficulties and uncertainties exper ienced in that day and time are nothing compared with the hectic days experienced in 1942 by the Mar tin County illicit liquor manufactur er and the illegal traffic, in general. Serving as deputy sheriff and en forcement officer for the Martin County Alcoholic Beverages Control Board, Officer Joe H. Roebuck never slowed down in his efforts to make the business miserable for the opera . tors, and then in the spring sugar ra tioning was introduced to complicate matters for the manufacturers of the ; illicit stuff. These conditions were aggravated by a copper shortage which with the other two factors gave the business something to re member for a long time. Reviewing the enforcement bur eau’s activities for the past year, Of ficer Roebuck explained that the il [ licit business flourished during the first several months. Numbers of ar rests were made and much liquor was confiscated during last January, but the continued work of the bur eau, aided by sugar rationing, vir tually eliminated one-half of the bus iness by early summer. Bill there I was no let up in the enforcement ' work, and it is believed that the il licit manufacturer and handler of bootleg liquor came nearer to find ing out the real meaning of prohibi tion during the year than he did back yonder under national prohibi tion. The period saw a marked shift from the RFB brands to the legal brands. During last year, Officer Roebuck aided mainly by his assistant, Roy Peel, wrecked 71 stills as compared with 134 in 1941. Valued at about $25 each, the stills represented an in vestment of about $2,000. The sugar pinch is reflected in the number of gallons of beer poured out in 1942, the report showing that 19,245 gal lons of the brew were destroyed as (Continued on pagt si*) Mule Is Killed In Highway Accident --. In one of the first road accidents of the new year in this county a rm;le was killed and one person was painfully but nol seriously hurl. The accident also turned up one of the first apparent violators of the pleas ure driving ban, and resulted in a property damage estimated at about $200 by Patrolman Whit Saunders, the investigator. Purchasing his weekly rations in Bear Grass, John Daniel Mason, col ored, had carried them home and was on his way early Saturday night to Williamston to buy a pint of liquor, according to his own admission. He had traveled only a short distance out of Bear Grass when he crashed into the rear of a mule and cart driv en by Louis Sheppard. The cart driver was thrown in one direction, the cart in another and the mule, fa tally hurt, was knocked to the side of the road. Sheppard was given medical treatment and is understood to be getting along all right now. Mason explained that he was meet ing a car and did not see the cart un til he was right on it or too late to avoid the crash. The mule-drawn ve hicle had no light on it. and the driv er was booked for operating on the highways at night without a light. W ar As Mielates mi Hitler and His Nazi Party Round Out 10 Years of Power in Germain Ten years ago this month Adolf Hitler and his Naz^Party came into i%wer in%ermany. In one of his first Speeches he declared that the Nazis would .nev fce guilty “Uss. or swindles,” and a few months la ter disclaimed any aggressive inten tions toward his European neigh bors. The record of Hitler and his in famous associates speaks for itself —in the ruin of civilized countries, in the enslavement, torture, and slaughter of millions. After a decade of destruction without parallel in human history, it is plain that his ambitions reached beyond the sub J^Aion of Germany, (of which he nol a native!, embrace the greater part of the world, leaving the rest of it to his partners in crime. ‘Unholy Program’ Answered w A year ago, this January, the Unit ed Nations answered this unholy program with a solemn declaration |of mutual assistance against com mon enemies—-a pact strengthened by force of arms which have grown mightier month by month. And this voluntary association of free peo ples in a war against the forces of modern barbarism lias been further ed by Lease-Lend arrangements whereby we have supplied food and the weapons and materials of war to our Allies in return for the lives they have risked and given on the battle fronts, and the goods and services they have placed at our disposal where they were most needed. This mutual exchange of war goods and war services still is going on, and must go on—for Lend-Lease is a vi tal part of our whole war strategy. To the Nazis and the Jap militar ists can be attributed the shortages and inconveniences which began to liter our ways of living last year, and during the coming year will place far greater restriction on all our activities. East To Feel Full Impact These restrictions will affect the whole country but they will bear down most heavily along the Atlan tic Seaboard. For example, the 17 eastern states and the District of Columbia have just been struck with what amounts to a social revolution by a blanket ban on automobile pleasure driving. Anyone who goes out for a “Sunday drive” or motors to a basketball game or takes a spin over to A.unt Martha’s for a bridge game may forfeit his gasoline ra tion book. In effect, it means that the motorist is going to have less gas in his car so he can have some oil in his fuel tank. At the same time, every structure (Continued on page six) Tire Inspectors Will Hold Meet Thursday Suspicious Character Is Jailed Saturday Night Operators of tire inspection sta tions are to hold a meeting in the county agricultural building on Thursday afternoon of this week at 2 o’clock for a discussion of the rules and regulations for handling tire in spections under the rationing pro gram. All stations are being directed to have a representative present at the meeting. An inspector from the State OPA office will meet with the station in spectors and outline in detail their duties and changes in the system. Frank White, 23 years old and a suspicious character, was arrested in a woods near Hassell !aa«t Satur day and placed in the county jail for investigation by Patrolman Whit Saunders. According to identification cards carried on his person, White registered in Florence, S. C., but his .home is in Emanuel, Ga. Almost barefooted and carrying a spoiled herring, the man was found hovering around a small fire about 10:30 that mght Ho stated that he had been released from the chain gang at Keriansville the Monday be fore and was on his way home. He had not traveled very far, but his course was away from home. LEGIONNAIRE N ! The John Walton Hassell Post of the American Legion recruit ed its first member from World War If ranks recently when C. C. Moore, of Jamesville, receiv ed an honorable discharge from the Army and became eligible for membership. It is generally believed that the Legion mem bership will jump to high fig ures when the present war is ended and the vets become eligi ble to join, Dr. John D. Biggs, commander of the county post, explained. At the present time, the post has a total of 166 members, the largest in the history of the or ganization in this county. Plans Go Forward For-Farm WtlobiITzattrfiPffFFfits County' frMiMggggfc TS^gTiwiaawpB^ iural leaders in a meeting in the courthouse here today for mobilizing agriculture on an all-out production scale for the current year. Few de tails could be had immediately as the meeting was still in piogress at noon today, but there was a keen in terest i/ the movement and there is ‘-.V-'iUjjr :^„t, lu, K . . , County fanners will stretch every point- in answering President Roose velt? appeal for increases in food and feed crops in 1943. More than thirty farm leaders are in attend ance upon the meeting today, and they are being charged with the task of carrying the program back to the several communities. Dates have not been set for carrying the mobiliza tion plans to the farmers direct, but it is planned to start the movement in the various communities possi time and other details of the program will be announced within the next few days. Allotments for most of the princi ple crops grown in this county will remain little changed from those of last year, but sizable increases ar ('ts throughout the main agricultu. al stater will be asked to tend every effort toward an increased produc tion. A ten per cent increase is being asked in peanut production. It was pointed out in the meeting early this morning that details for handling the increase and the price question would be cleared up shortly It has peanut allotments and establish a price in the neighborhood of six cents for the entire cron. It is possi ble for farmers in this county to sub stitute peanuts for short staple cot ton and still hold on to their cotton allotments under certain conditions. It is quite apparent that the mo bilization plans»will not fit every in dividual case, but if honest-to-good ness action was ever needed or, the home front, it is needed now. The President has appealed to agricul ture, and while n iuci-* ant to act it is believed most Martin .County farmers will strain every point to answer that appeal in behalf of those who carry guns, in behalf of those who fight with us, and in behalf of world decency and peace. Start Closing In On \iolators Of Gas Ban ESSENTIAL? v. ^Crashing into a mule and cart last Saturday night near Bear Grass, John D. Mason, colored, was asked what mission he was on at the time. "I was on my way to Williamston to get a pint of li quor,” Mason admitted to Sheriff Roebuck. Informed that that could only be classed as pleasure or certainly unnecessary driving Mason, according to the high sheriff, asked, “Why, ain't that essential?” The man’s number is being ’reported to the rationing board, and it is quite possible that he will lose his gas rations. Several Numbers To Be Turned Over To Ration Board Here Special Government A^enl Makes Investigation Aided Bv \ arions Officers That federal rationing authorities meant what they said when an order was issued banning all pleasure driv ing is being firmly established as a fact in many of the eastern states. Few details have been officially re leased in connection with the en forcement program, but it was learn ed here that special agents are mak ing an extensive investigation and that .hey with the aid of local coun ty and highway patrolmen can be expected to "crack down" on viola tors. Even before details could be com pleted for handling the violations, in vestigators were making their rounds, visiting various spots in this county. No statement could be had directly from the OPA representa tive who visited this county last Sat urday night, but one charge is ex pected to grow out of his visit The numbers had not been reported to the county rationing board here this morning, but it is understood that quite a few cases will be reported to the hoard just as soon as final plans for handling them can be completed. The county rationing board was only notified officially of its duties in handling such cases yesterday after noon. The instructions, defining pleasure driving, are almost identi cal with those released through the press last week. Since then, howev er, it has been ruled that w'hile per sons may drive to their work in the morning and home in the evening they are violating the meaning of the ruling when they ride to and from lunch. It was also specifically stated that driving to civic clubs is unlawful. The owner of an “A" card may use bis car for essential business and shopping after a reasonable plan, but it is unlawful for a person to use his car to make a trip to the store for the purchase of a drink or some minor (Continued on pace six) Lanier Will Filed In Court Recently Written back in 1939, the will of Miss Mamie Lanier was filed in the clerk of court’s office in this county last week. Leaving an estate, esti mated to be worth from $30,000 to $35,000, Miss Lanier left the greater part of her earthly goods to distant relatives in Oklahoma and Mississip pi. The J. R. Lanier farm in Williams Township was left to Grover C. Godard under certain conditions. Mr. Godard is to pay to the executor, C. D. Carstarphen, the sum of $4,000 within twelve months and the amount is to be turned over to Lucy Riggs Martin, of Oklahoma, and Maggie Biggs Tucker, of Mississip >i. Minnie Dupree Parker, John Hen ry Dupree, Emma Dupree Surnmer 'in and Mollie Ricks Brade, of the Rocky Mount section, were left $1, >00 each. The remaining portion of a $5,000 annuity insurance policy, vas left to R. D. Trevathan and G. G. Trevatham, also of Rocky Mount. The remainder of the property, both -eal and personal, was left to the rel atives in Oklahoma and Mississippi. Miss Lanier provided for the pay ment of any outstanding debts and all burial expenses. Griffin Gets Eleven Important Places On House Committees Assignments Mean Busy Term For Representative in The Legislature Drawing e'ievi u important com mittee assignments in the Ifao- , Representative Clarence Griffin of this county is in for a busy time dur ing the current session of the North Carolina General Assembly, The work of several of the com mittees of which Mr, Griffin is a member, is certain to attract consid erable attention since it will be con nected directly or indirectly with the war. Especially is this true in the case of the Federal Relations Com mittee. It is very well established that North Carolina will cooperate in every way possible toward ad vancing closer and more effective relatives between State and Feder al agencies and groups. Mr. Griffin is on the Finance Committee and al ready that group is in the limelight with a proposal to create a post-war surplus. The committee on Mental Institutions, facing startling revela tions coming from an inquiry into conditions existing in institutions for the insane, is expected to take some drastic action to make certain that those conditions are relieved and that the disgrace is removed from this State. The Public Welfare commit tee, of which Mr. Griffin is also a member, is facing no immediate problems, but its members will havo to look to the future and chart their course accordingly. Other committee assignments giv en Representative Griffin include the following: Conservation and Devel opment,- ©efp'sseiion:'. Courts and Ju dicial Districts, Engrossed Bills, Higher Education, Journal, Judiciary No. 2, and Justices of the Peace. Man Admits Theft, Gives Up Money Breaking into "Scrap” Baker’s home on East Hatton Street here last Saturday just before night, John Lee Freeman, young colored man, stole $85 in cash. He gained an entrance through the back door and forced the lock on a trunk where the money was left by Baker for safe keeping. Picking up a lead in the case late that night, Officer Chas. R. Moore arrested Freeman at his home about. 2 o’clock Sunday morning and plac ed him in jail. Questioned at length, Freeman finally admitted that he stole the money and carried the of ficer to the spot where it was hid den. The money was recovered by the owner in its full amount. Home Front To Foe! Killians’ Comiter-Of Connives Continue to Meet with Croat Sihtpss * Wliile Russia’s great offensives , continue to roll the Gomans back, ’ war is breaking out on the home . front in the form of a budget in the ( teen odTamdoflartax'^n^'^forcecr £ savings program proposed by Pres ident Roosevelt in his message to ‘ Congress yesterday. In his accompanying message_ a " document firm, yet conciliatory _ President Roosevelt called it a “max imum program for waging war” that “reflects the determination of civil ians to ‘pass the ammunition’." War outlays alone wiil take an estimated $100,000,000,000 roughly the amount the government spent front its birth in 1789 through 1930, and w cents out of "very .! \\.-r bi the over all budget. 1 he President's lax recommenda . lions—which he did not define, but wnich propose compulsory savings and . r. A form of pay-as-you-go plan —would raise present gross Treasury revenues from $35,000,000,000 to $51, 000,000,000, thus requiring the peo ple to shoulder half the cost of fight ing the war. Lacking these new revenues, he said at a budget seminar with news papermen on Saturday, the govern ment faces a deficit of $71,047,679,923 in I he coming fiscal year, and the national debt—now approximately $113,000,000,000—will soar to an as tronomical $210,000,000,000 by the end of that pe»god. The debt will pass the present stat utory limit— $125,000,000,000— by $10,000,000,000 during the current fiscal year, lie added, and Congress therefore must prepare to raise the ceiling. “To do this is sound,” Mr. Roose velt said, “for such a debt can and will be repaid. “The nation is soundly solvent.” Of his program as a whole, he said it must, of necessity, “be harsh”; that everyone should remember “it is a war for existence, and not taxation, which compels us to devote more than one-half of all our resources to war use.” The President hewed to the line with these other hard facts: Civilians can anticipate spending only $500 each for goods and services in fiscal 1944. This is about 25 per cent less than the $625 they spent in calendar 1941, a record consumption year. He added, however, that tin y would still be better fed, clothed and housed than people anywhere else in the world. On the actual battlefronts, Russia is still making the main news with continued counter-offensives, the Red Army having restored most of its lines p.s of last November. The Russians have also recovered a large portion of the territory taken from them since last June.

Rev. John W. Hardy was asked yes teiday if it would be possible for lo cal people to entertain a dozen Brit ish seamen for a few days. Several standing invitations were accepted and the minister is seeking homes for the remaining ones. None of these men has been here before, but it is understood that the entertainment accorded the group of sailors here during the holiday season impressed the Britishers greatly and the men are eagerly locking forward to their stay in local homes after many long months on the oceans. Two of the nu-n arriving tomorrow evening at (1:20 will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J M. Saunders. Ten others are expected here Thursday evening at the same hour. Local peo ple who will find it convenient to do so, and it is sincerely believed that many will find it that way, are ask ed to contact Parson Hardy at once and advise him they'll be glad to have the visitors in their homes dur ing the short period. The special vis itors are to return Sunday. -» Doff Crashes Window To Get To Her Ten Puppies Locked in an upstairs room, a dog belonging to Van Respass, crashed a 14 by 36 glass window in the sec ond floor of the home on Sycamore Street to get to her ten three-week old puppies in the dog house in the yard. Aroused by the crash about 4 o’clock yesterday morning, Respass reached the window just in time to keep the mother dog from jumping from a porch roof to the ground. *nie animal apparently was not hurt in crashing through the window.
