ESTABLISHED 1899 Plans For Invading European Fortress Made by Eisenhower a»- ——— Red Army Continues Sweep ing Drive; American Fifth Near Cassino Reporting in London following a secret trip to this country, General Dwight Eisenhower is now apparent ly formulating final plans for the invasion of Hitler’s European Fort ress which is almost certain to be launched within the next two or two and one-half months. While there has been much talk about a possible invasion of the continent, time and places and other details have been closely guarded. Observers have done a bit of guessing, and if they are ’/ right, Hitler can expect blows from all sides at one and the same time. Lt. General Omar Bradley has been named by Eisenhower to lead the American land forces for the all out invasion, the appointment com pleting the western invasion com mand in all its important details. Meantime, there is talk about a possible invasion of the continent through Southern France and pos sibly through the Balkans, too. During the meantime, the Red Army is continuing its sweeping drives on the Eastern Front and the American Fifth is knocking at the doors of German-defended Cassino in Italy. No late developments have been reported on the land fronts in the Pacific theater, but Allied air men are still busy dishing out blows against the Japs there. Churchill returned to London early this morning and went almost direct ly to the House of Commons where he was cheered. He is expected to issue a statement on the war soon. The Russian newspaper Pravda created great sensational news over the week-end when it carried a story claiming that German and British of ficials had met presumably some where in Spain and discussed peace proposals. Official government pa pers in Moscow did not recognize the report, and while British offi cials denied such a meeting had been held or even considered, the impli cations drawn from the story are running wild. Some think the story is related in some way to the Russo Poiish boundary dispute, but just •*« why the story was carried by the newspaper remains unknown. In Russia, the Red Army last week-end launched about the thir teenth offensive in a little over six months, the latest drive pointing to the Latvian border about 70 miles away. General Vatutin’s army is some over 100 miles from the Russo Polish border and is still going strong, unofficial reports stating that the Ukrainian Army had killed 100, 000 Germans and captured 7,000 more in a little over three weeks. In Italy, the American Fifth Ari^y ha* Ju*t about Hoped out outer' avionsr># and is within two miles of Cassino, its immediate goal. During the meantime, Allied airmen have been pounding the objective and also attacking rail communica tions further to the north with great A success. British patrols, experienc ing terrible weather and a stubborn resistance on the Adriatic side, were reported to have made satisfactory progress during the past few days. On the home front, Congress is considering appeals for eliminating the contract renogiation law which was designed to hold down war profits, and which has already saved around five billion dollars to the tax payers. Miss Sallie Leggett Dies in Cross Roads -« Miss Sallie Jane Leggett, number ed among the oldest citizens of this county, died at the home of her niece, Mrs. Jodie Ayers, in Cross Roads Township this morning at 8 o’clock, following a long period of declining health. Born in that township 91 years ago, MLo Leg&e-tt 1.S.J tfessE-e” her many jears With ► a sister, and later making her home w ith her nieces. While she had been in declining health for a number of years, she was able to be up most of the time until about four months ago when she fell and broke her hip. She had been confined i her bed since that time, but her condition was not considered critical until just a short time ago when she suffered an attack of influenza which was fol lowed by pneumonia and which with complications resulted in death. Miss Leggett was the daughter oi the late W .A. Leggett and wife She was a member of the church at Christian Chapel for about three quarters of a century, remaining faithful in its service down through the years or until failing health limited her activities. She was the t last member of her immediate family- ... . , Services will be held in the church at Cross Roads Wednesday afternoor at 4 o’clock by her pastor, Rev. Den nis Warren Davis, and intermem will follow in the Wynne Cemeterj in Cross Roads Township. Will Submit New War Food Plan To Farmers This Week ---- The new 1944 War Food program will lx. submitted to Martin County farmers on Friday and Saturday of this week in their respective districts following an instructional meeting being held for county and township committeemen here today. Farmers will be asked to list their 1943 acreages planted to all crops, plan their production practices un der the soil building program and in ventory their livestock and poultry as of January 1, this year. They will then be asked to list their intended acreages for 1944 and anticipate their inventories as of January 1, 1945. In addition to tha* information they will be asked to list the “names and ages of every man and boy, 12 years or over, who lives or works on the indi vidual's farm, giving correct ad dress.” The 1944 farm plan, it is to be re membered, will again be closely re lated to the manpower problem and the draft. As for the proposed pro gram itself, an actual decrease in the production of most food and feed crops is suggested, with an even greater offset increase asked for in tobacco acreages. The tobacco allot ment has now been boosted by twen ty per cent, but before any farmer holding a “C” draft classification boosts his tobacco acreage he should remember that only three acres will be recognized when it comes to al lowing production credits. In other words, an individual farmer may have four acres of tobacco, but only three of them are recognized, mean ing that he will find it necessary to diversify his farm program and in clude other crops if he desires to maintain his preferred rating with the draft board. Bond Drive Is Off To Good Start In County ROUND-UP For the most part, crime is taking a holiday in the county at the present time. A week ago, of ficers arrested and jailed no one, and last week-end only two al leged violators found their way into the hoosegow at the direc tion of officers. One of the two was arrested for public drunkenness and the other was booked for allegedly operating a motor vehicle with out a driver’s license. Both were colored men and were over years of age. Mrs. Jno. D. Lilley Dies at Home Near Here I^ast Evening . , <t> —— Funerul Services Will Be Con ducted at 2:30 P. M. Tomorrow -® Mrs. John D. Lilley, highly respect ed county citizen, died at her home near here on the Washington High way last evening at 8 o’clock follow ing a stroke of paralysis suffered while visiting her daughter, Mrs. Hubert Biggs, on Warren Street here last Friday afternoon. Left in a semi conscious condition, she gradually i as worse, and the end was not un K: MavL.:11vj bad been in de clining health for '> long number of years, but her condition had shown some improvemc nt in recent months and she was able to be up and attend to many of her household duties up until she was stricken last Friday. She was feeling possibly better than usual that morning and came in to visit her two daughters here. The daughter of the late John Gray and Prudence Corey, she was born in Griffins Township on April 15, 1890. She attended the schools in her community, and following the death of her parents she made her home • with a sister until hat.rrirriage to Mr. Liliey on June 23, 1912, when she moved to make her home in Jamesville. About ten years later the family moved to Farm Life, lo cating in Wiliiamston about 1926 while Mr. Lilley was deputy clerk of the Martin County Superior Court. For the past several years they had made their home on the farm near here. Mrs. Lilley joined the Christian Church in Jamesville more than a quarter of a century ago, remaining faithful :n its service until she ex perienced failing health, but then (Continued on page six) First Mule Clinic Is Well Attended —• —. A mule and horse clinic, the first ever held in this county, met with mai ked success down at Dardens yes terday morning, Assistant County Agent L. L. McLendon said today. Eighteen animals were delivered there for examination and treatment and the owners were said to have been very well pleased with the plan. Nearly every one of the animals were treated for bad teeth and para sites, Drs. A. J. Osteen and R. G Hicks, who is associated with the county veterinarian, working unti. almost 2 o’clock handling the clinic work. The clinic prices were declared un usually reasonable by the anirna owners, and it is believed that ever larger patronages will follow at oth er clinics to be held in various parti , of the county during the remaindei of this month and a part of Febru ary. Several Townships Announce Special Campaign Workers -;<» — Considerable Interest In Be* in# Shown in Tank lo Float $729,000 Roml Issue -» First reports coming from the Fourth War Bond Drive, opening in the county today, were very encour aging, according to a first statement issued at noon today by Chairman Herman A. Bowen. Nearly everyone of the townships had completed its organization for the all-out, nook and-corner canvass, and work was well underway in several of them at the start early this morning. Considerable interest is being ad vanced by various civic organizations and school children are already be hind the drive to raise the $729,000 county quota. It is proposed to raise $315,000 of the $729,000 in Series E bonds. The most encouraging report on the drive so far was released just be fore noon today when Williamston Township chairmen reported over $30,000 in E bond sales during the early hours of the campaign. No other reports could be had to day, but it is understood that sever al districts had started a preliminary work before the campaign even got underway, that they were planning to push the drive to'an early ar,t! successful close. I! has been claimed that the task is a big one, but compared with what others are doing the assignment is most reasonable. In addition to help ing finance the war, the successful handling of the drive will have its moral effect when the approximately I, 750 Martin County boys in the service learn what the home front is doing. For that reason, if no oth er, Martin County must not fail in meeting its quota. Chairman Chas. Davenport an nounced his canvass committee last week.

The young man, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Cunningham, expressed the hope that he’d never see another battle as "bloody as Tarawa.’’ The drive on the beach was de scribed as the bloodiest he had ever seen and was rated the bloodie-. ir Marine history.

The men, having successfully “ne gotiated” the draft hump in 1943, are soon to be asked to submit their 1944 plans.

SPREADING \ . -- The fame of Bear Crass con tinues to spread, and it is noth ing to walk into a store as far away as Chicago and have some one ask you about the thriving little county center, according to a report released last Friday evening by Martin County dele gates to the Farm Bureau Fed eration's annual convention held in the windy city last month. “We walked into a store to buy some ‘more’ gun shells and the clerk asked us about Bear Grass,” one of the delegates said in making his report to the county organization in the court house. “We told him we knew Bear Grass and its good people, but nothing else was said,” Mr. Chas. L. Daniel, the spokesman, declared. It was intimated that the dele gates brought back quite a few gun shells. Special Service Is Held Here-Sunday Evening i --—s DR. W. R. BURRELL j Dr. Wm. R. Burrell, pastor of the Williamston Memorial Bap tist Church, completed fifty years of work in the Gospel min istry here last Sunday evening when a special service was held commemorating the splendid record. Defendant Is Bound Over At Hearing In Manslaughter Case -a Jus. Garland Ito^crs To Fare Superior Gourt as Result of Fatal Gar Accident -<■> James Garland Rogers, young Bear Grass white man, was bound over to the superior court by Justice J. L. Hassell here last evening when prob able' cause of guilt was found in the case charging him with reckless driv ng and manslaughter. The $500 re quired bond was raised and the de fendant was dismissed under a pledge to fare trial in the superior [court convening here on March 20. Rogers was a bit bewildered as he sat with his attorney, E. S. Peel, in the office of the justice and heard the several witnesses offer what was con sidered as damaging testimony. At torneys Wheeler Martin and Clar ence Griffin appeared for the pri vate prosecution, and it is fairly ap parent that the case will be vigor ously contested. The hearing last evening was a short one. The Stale called four wit nesses, but the testimony of one was ! indirectly ruled out Taking the stand hrxt, pair..liman W. E. Saunders who investigated the accident, described weather and road conditions and reviewed his findings when he reached the scene shortly after Herbert Harrison, 28-year-old Bear Grass white man and a pas senger in the Rogers car, was fatal ly hurt. The wreck took place late in the afternoon on Sunday, Janu ary 2, near Old Mill Inn on the Washington Highway. Emma Moore, the second witness in the case, stated that she went out on her back porch to get some wood arid heard a car roaring up the hjgh ■%/ a v, > 14v«>lispra*ifely be t wt■<<&'aC i and ou iiiiios an hour.

D. Roebuck of near Hamil ton, were conducted last Sunday aft ernoon in the Hamilton Baptist Church by Rev. E. C. Wilkie assist ed by Rev. J. M. Perry. Interment was in the Hamilton Cemetery. Young Roebuck died in a Tarboro hospital last Wednesday afternoon following an illness of short dura tion. The last rites, scheduled to have been held last Saturday afternoon, were postponed until Sunday on ac count of bad weather. The services were well attended despite the change in time, proving the high esteem in which the youth was held. Dr. Win. R. Burrell Completes Fiftieth Year In Ministry • Noble Record Commemorat ed at Union Service in Bap tist Clinreb Here Sunday ——<* Commemorating fifty years of un tiring work in the Gospel ministry by Dr. William R. Burrell, a union service was held in the local Baptist Church last Sunday evening. The service, a most impressive one, was attended by a large congregation made up of representatives of the various denominations. Few events here have received a greater response from all people regardless of church affiliation than the service com memorating an able, unselfish and untiring work handled by Dr. Bur rell during the past half century. Rev. John L. Goff, of the Christ ian Church, and Rev. B. T. Hurley, Methodist minister, conducted the service, Rev. Hurley reviewing the "Values of a Lengthy Ministry.” "It has compensations and rewards far greater than pecuniary returns,” Rev. Hurley said, adding that what a great value experience and wise leadership carry in troublous times. The Rev. Mr. Goff talked briefly on the “Value of a Minister to His Com munity.” The brief messages blended beau tifully with Dr. Burrell’s life in the ministry, for he is remembered here as a guiding force during those un certain days in the early part of the last war. It was then that he consol ed the troubled, worked untiringly at his own tasks and found time to handle other duties. But even with the heavy schedule of duties, the minister was not content to remain behind and he volunteered for serv ice that carried him to distant parts of the world. His leadership was welcomed when he returned here as war again engulfed the world, his presence and counsel allaying the fears and un certainties of a troubled people. De spite his half century of devoted service, the minister is still young enough to see young Martin County men off on the early buses for duty in the armed forces, to distribute small Red Cross kit bags and wish the young men Godspeed in their new assignments. Dr. Burrell has moved forward with the times, dismissing the ac cumulated years and finding strength and encouragement in his daily tasks as they relate to the work of the church, the welfare of his people and (1 upbuilding of his conm.unify. Neai the close of the service, Dr. Ben r. D cupiod' "W.< pV.ij-.t (*!",’.r press his deep appreciation for the kindness shown him by his friends here. Speaking of his wife who died just a week before and who said a short time before the end how she wished to be present at the service marking the completion of his fifty years in the ministry, Dr. Burrell paid a brief but fitting and touching tribute to her memory. “Had it not been for her, I could have been shorn of nine-tenths of what little power I have hud,” he said, adding, “And while she is not with us here this evening in person, she is with us in spirit.” The mnister, still young and active even though lie has passed the three score and ten-mark, declared that lus greatest compensations were found in the privilege to walk with the members of the Christian cb'irche.M, “fnH r tha/jIsJClod for the, office bearers of His churches.” The able churchman, though it was evident that he was impressed by the service and that sorrow weighed heavily upon his heart, arose to the occasion and in striking but mellow voice, counselled ids people. “There have been times when the way was (Continued m.page j|tx) County Young Man Now a Lieutenant ■ • — Aviation Cadet Robert A.

Bureau Gets “Report Prom Delegates To Chicago Convention —*— Hrge Continuance of Quotas Cor Tobacco; Predict Livestock Decrease Attending the annual convention >f the American Farm Bureau Fed ’ration in Chicago last month, four Martin County delegates reviewed he work of the meeting before nembers of the Martin County Farm 3ureau in the courthouse last Fri day evening. An unusually large -rowd was present, and while the ielegates limited their review to he convention's business, the re sorts were heard with much interest. \ fifth delegate, Carl Griffin, was enable to attend the meeting and report. Immediately after the meeting was spenod, D. V. Clayton reviewed Martin County’s record maintained in past war bond drives and urged the Farm Bureau members to get be hind and work for the Fourth War Bond sale now underway in this county and throughout the nation. Its our war and we want to do our part," Farm Bureau President Chas. 1. Daniel commented following Mr. Clayton’s plea for an all-out support of the campaign. In his report on the convention, Mr. Clayton stated it was a great meeting. Ho attended the Rural Youth Committee conference and was greatly impressed by the lead ership assummed by the nation’s farm youth. “They discussed and worked for solutions to vital ques tions,” Mr. Clayton said, suggesting that the Martin County Farm Bureau could render a valuable service by sponsoring a similar movement for the rural youth in this section. "I attended as many meetings as possible,” Farmer Linwood Knowles, a second delegate to the annual meeting in Chicago, said, but we centered our time on the tobacco and peanut committee conference. “There were heated arguments over tobacco quotas,” Mr. Knowles said. “One representative from Ken tucky alleged that some sections have a monopoly on tobacco acreage. After the problem was discussed at length, the meeting and the con vention later going on record for the continuance of quotas for both to bacco and peanuts, the body also recommending parity prices for pea nuts.” Mr. Knowles told of conservations he hud with other farmers while in Chicago. “A farmer from Iowa ex plained that he had been farming for 35 years and had never sold a dollar's wortli of crop. He generally sold about 100 head of hogs and 15 or 20 beef calves annually,” Mr. Knowles said. “The hogs farrowed on cement and stayed on cement un til they were loaded for market, the fanner fattening them to about, i’iST' J,« in. *•« finer - was able to do that by raising about 00 bushels of corn to the acre and without using much fertilizer. He practiced a perfect system of rota tion,” Mr. Knowles said. “A Virginia farmer told me how a group of farmers had bought an old peanut mill and operated it last year at a profit, and I believe that similar cooperative undertakings could be handled in this section,” Mr. Knowles pointed out, adding that he went all the way to Chicago to learn that a neighbor from Plymouth had (Conting 1 &r mge six) Former Resident Dies In Hospital . — • ivirs.
