Victory Over japs
In Marshall Islands
——#—
Russians Trap Ten Divisions
South of Kiev; Fifth
Army in Cassino
-»
Outmaneuvering the yellow Japs,
the Americans have scored a great
victory in the Marshall Islands, late
reports stating that control of the
group is now firmly in American
hands. The last of the Japs are be
ing cleared from a corner of the
Kwajalein. More than 2,000 Japs
were found there when the Ameri
cans invaded the large mandated is
land group almost a week ago. All
but 750 of the group were wiped out
while American losses were limited
to 27 dead and a comparatively small
number of missing and wounded.
The area is not entirely clear of
the yellow scoundrels, but Navy
Seabees and Army engineeis are said
to have moved in and are patching
up the big airfield on Roi island and
it is expected that Allied planes will
be using the field to help clean out
the entire Marshall group.
In the Pacific, the Allies are now
just about 1,000 miles from that
great Jap base of Truk. There is a
possibility that the Allies will try to
neutralize it rather than invade the
base. Wake Island, where the Amer
ican defenders offered such a noble
defense during the few days follow
ing the war’s outbreak, will likely
be vacated by the Japs, or else be
driven off. That the Jap navy will
be drawn out is still a possibility,
but no sea engagements have yet
been reported. The latest blow de
livered against the Japs place the
Allies approximately 500 miles
northwest of Makin in the Gilberts.
In Italy, the American Fifth Army
entered the city of Cassino yester
day, and its fall is expected within a
matter of hours, according to late re
ports. Nearer Rome, the recent in
vasion is being extended against ev
er-growing resistance.
The Germans are making big news
all along the 1,200-mile Eastern
Front, the feature of the late reports
being centered sputh of Kiev where
ten German divisions—nine infan
try and one panzer—numbering from
80,000 to 200,000 men, have been
trapped. The trapped rats have not
yet surrendered, and it is not known
whether they'll attempt to fight their
way out.
No raids have been made over Ber- |
lin in recent nights, but the city is
still groggy from the last attacks.
During the meantime, American and
British airforces have been carry
ing on an effective offensive against
other strategic centers and the
French invasion coast. In their gi
gantic raid on Wilhelmshaven yes
terday, the Americans lost only four
bombers and nine fighters.
Chief of Staff General George
Marshall yesterday said that great
battles lie just ahead, and urged peo
,mtm'"TV iy ii„ wwiR' ui'
and necessity for sacrifice.”
Following the release of the Jap
atrocity stories, the yellow beasts
are said to have changed their bru

For the presentation of the em

Marriage Licenses
Hold To Average
Number in January
MokI of Contracting Parties
In Their Late Teens or
Early Twenties
-——
Despite war, high water and all
that, the number of marriage li
censes issued in this county during
the first month of 1944 held to about
a normal average. However, it
looked at one time as if the issuance
would reach a new low point. Less
than half a dozen marriage contracts
were issued by Register of Deeds
J. Sam Getsinger before the 28th of
the month, but those youths in their
late teens or early twenties boost
ed the business during the last few
days. There were very few con
tracting parties over 30 years of
age.
Five licenses were issued to white
and ten to colored couples in the
county last month, as follows:

TIRE QUOTAS

Despite an announced “tight
ening” of rationing regulations
for Grade I car tires, the cur
rent month tire quotas are al
most ar large as they were for
January, according to informa
tion released this week by Mrs.
Irene Blount, chief rationing
board clerk. •
The quotas for January and
February are compared as fol
lows with the January allot
ments being shown first: Grade
I tires, 106 and 104; Grade UTs,
144 and 137; F«asenge»\ tire
tubes, 126 and 20,7; Truck tires,
35 and 34; Truck tires tubes, 37
and 34.
No cars were allotted the
county tor the current month.
Postal Receipts Reached An
All-Time High Last Year
Postal receipts reached an all-time
high figure here last year, a report
from the post office stating that the
revenue jumped from $24,870.89 in
1942 to $28,849.56, an increase of a I
most $4,000. The gain, according to
Assistant Postmaster F. Earl Wynne,
is not traceable to any one source,
but was supported mostly by indi
viduals. Possibly the increased cor
respondence directed to servicemen
accounts for a greater part of the
increase. Postal employees handling
the rural free deliveries are convinc
ed that the volume of mail coming
from the rural communities reach
ed an all-time high during last
year.
The record increase is reflected in
stamp sales for each of the four
quarters. Reporting revenue in the
sum of $6,603.43 for the first three
months of 1943 as compared with
$6,030.73 for the corresponding per
iod in 1942, the office here had an
income of $6,908.44 in the second
quarter as compared with $5,576.90
for the months of April, May and
June, 1942. In the third quarter of
last year, revenue jumped to $6,
679.36 from $6,094.64 recorded in the
corresponding period of the preced
ing year. When the office patrons
opened their Christmas mail bar
rage in the third quarter mostly for
the servicemen, they boosted the
stamp sales from $7,168.62 in 1942 to
$8,757.34 for the last three months
of 1943. The increase of nearly $1,
600 represents a sizable increase in
the sale of 3-cont stamps.
Money order business jumped from
$147,351.22 m 1942 to $179,248.02 last
year, the business reaching a peak
last September when $25,261.46 was
sent mostly to mail order houses.
The steady annual business in
crease enjoyed by the post office for
the past ten years is reflected in the
following stamp sales:
1933 $12,488.13
1934 15,394.95
1935 17,477.19
1936 17,935.26
1937 20,702.69
1938 20,721.76
1939 20,985.40
1940 22,010.11

Vandals Break Out
Store Wiudaus.?J< t«4
Vandals ran loose on Washington
Street here some time during the
early morning Wednesday, breaking
out several store windows. As far as
it could he learned, nothing was miss
ed from any of the stores, police stat
ing that apparently the destructive
acts were prompted by thoughtless
ness or down-right, common mean
ness.
A large hole was knocked into the
plate glass in one of the Martin Sup
ply Company windows, the owners
finding a small piece of pipe wrap
ped with tape inside. A small hole
was knocked in a panel glass in the
door leading into Claude Leggett’s
store, and the large plate glass win

Police, covering their beat on the

No one would offer an esti

questioned in the county during
recent days are agreed that a
record yardage has been planted
to tobacco seed this season. With
favorable weather prevailing in
recent days, an estimated 95
percent of the growers in this

As a general rule, the yardage
has been increased by 20 percent

Short Session Of
Recorders Court Is
Held Last Monday
Small Attendance KeporttMl
For Trial of Five Cases of
Little Consequence
Law violations are holding to an
unusually low point in the county
these days, the records showing that
Judge J. Calvin Smith has the sit
uation well under control for the
present, at least. A crime outbreak
may develop at any time, but the
disturbers of the peace have not been
creating enough business to keep the
Martin County Recorder’s Court in
session very long during recent
weeks. Occasionally, the trial of a
case carrying little weight will be
dragged on and on in the court by a
tiresome and sometimes disgusting
argument, but for the most part,
the trials have been short and snap
py during recent sessions.
Last Monday, the court was in ses
sion less than an hour, Judge Smith
calling only five cases. The docket
carried very little interest, and
the attendance while larger than it
was the week before, continue! very
small. At one time during the ses

Fi'w Dark Spots Appearing in
Some Districts As Drive
Enters Third Week
——<*
Martin County’s Fourth War Bond
drive today is approximately $250,
000.00 short of the assigned goal,
causing some to express doubt if the
goal will be reached. County Chair
man Herman A. Bowen is confined
to his bed by illness and could not
be reached for a statement, but fol
lowing a bond rally in Bear Grass
Wednesday evening he was optimis
tic over the outlook The bond pic
ture is bright in several townships,
but m others it is a bit dark. Com
plete reports could not be had, but
a semi-official tabulation of the
drive figures last night showed that
the sales during the past week fell
below $100,000, and unless the tempo
is increased in several townships,
the campaign will fall short of its
goal. One of the dark spots in the
bond picture is found right here in
WUliamston w'here the drive is little
more than half complete with a
greater portion of the total being
represented in "negotiable” securi
ties. Kobersonville, with a quota of
$220,000, lias already handled more
than $100,000 in "E” bonds alone. Ac
cording to the latest but apparently
not complete figures, the drive in
Williams Township is hardly more
than one-fifth complete. It is about
three-fourths complete in Griffins,
about $51,000 short in Kobersonville,
and approximately one-third com
plete in Hamilton, and Goose Nest,
and a little over three-fifths finish
ed in Poplar Point.
There are only nine more days in
which to purchase “negotiable” bonds
and credit for “E” bond purchases
will be allowed only through the
29th of this month. Unless a spirit
ed punch is delivered soon, the coun
ty will hardly reach the goal.
The bright side of the picture is
found in Jamesville and Bear Grass
Townships where the drive has
reached and passed the district goals
by wide margins. Cross Roads was
-eported to have reached its quota
earlier in the week, and there is a
good possibility it has, but several is
suing agencies could not be contact
ed in time to complete the tabula
tion for that district. The report for
WUliamston is not quite complete,
