Tells About Trip To
Army Pre-Induction
Center List Friday
Frank Carstarphen Declares
He Was Well Received hy
M>rt Bragg .Wen
A large group of Martin County
white men, reflecting the most ser
ious mood ot any to leave here since
the war started, reported for pre
induction examinations last week
end. Most of them had individual
stories to tell about the trip, but for
the most part each account held to
a serious note.
Frank Carstarphen, popular and
well-liked local young man, yester
day recalled a few of the high spots
of his trip. He declared that he was
well received by the Army men, that
his fare was all right. The eats were
good and sleeping quarters were very
comfortable, but he admitted that he
slept very littie that Friday night
before the examination the follow
ing morning.
Lqj>t from the main Martin Coun
ty contingent while in the “Baby
Ray’’ examining room, Mr. Carstar
phen was associated- with a Lenoir !
County group. “The first thing we'
were told to do was ‘Hurry Up', and
we hurried up just to wait one hour
or two hours in line.”
Taking his place in the “shake
down line,” ’Starphener was hurried
along, and just as he was nearing the
end he saw that no red marks had
been placed on his paper. “I told
one of the doctors that I had a bad
left ankle, and he wrote with ink
across my belly. ‘R. Ankle.' But that
was only one red mark, and then I
pointed out that I had a weak wrist \
and a bad knee, but I don’t think
that information was fully appre- j
dated,” the young man said, admit
ting that he had that cocked left
eye working perfectly. Some of the
boys declared he practiced with that
eye all the way down to the Fort, but
other observers declared he played
fair in every way.
“The psychiatrist asked me about
my health, and wanted to know if 1
ever heard voices when no one was
around. I asked what he meant by
’voices,’ and then I told him I thought
I had heard someone call when no
one was around,” Carstarphener ex
plained.
At the end of the line and with
only one red mark on his paper, Car
starphen was told by the doctor that
he had a bad right ankle. “No, sir.
J.t is my left one,” he explained. “The
paper says it is your right one,” the
doctor said. And then Frank said, “I
am sorry, sir, but it is my left an
kle.” Obeying orders ,the young man
stood on one foot against the wall.
"Oh, you are all right,” the doctor
said, “and I knew I was in the
Army,” Frank said as he walked ov
er to see his examination sheet. Af
ter waving gently the rubber stamp,
the doctor inked it and rejected his
charge. “Rejected, rejected,” Frank
said, thinking out loud. “Yes, we
don’t want you, and now you may
get out,” the doctor said. “Thank
you," Carstarphen was quoted as
saying and he got out.
The boys maintained that Frank
ate but little before the examina
tion, that he almost made a circle
out of the cafeteria line after the
examination, but the young man
declares he did not "slip” under the
line railing more than three times.

Kids Have Big Time
In Supply Building
Two kids, Jot* Lewis, 8, and Lam
bert Brown, about the same age,
were prowling around the premises
of the Williamston Supply Company
here last Sunday afternoon, and,
; finding an unlatched window, they
I went inside the building. It is quite
certain that the lads had no criminal
intent, but they played the part of
the bull m a china shop. They play
! i d with the adding machines, weigh
j ed nails, scribbled with pen and ink
and wandered aimlessly around for
quit * a while. Leaving the building,
the lads eani.ed a number of sou
venir or advertising pencils, but
nothing else was missing. The iads
were apprehended when they dis
played the pencils at school.
Carried before Judge L B Wynne’s
juvenile court, the two boys told all
about their escapade, and were re
leased by Judge Wynne with a prom
ise from their mothers that a paddle
would be used after an appropriate
fashion and at the right spot.

Three Districts In
County Chapter Go
Over Their Quotas
Complete Reports for All the
liistriots Are Not Yet
Available
With three townships—Williams
ton, Bear Grass and Griffins— al
ready over the top and with other
sections continuing to make progress,
the annual Red Cross War Fund
Drive is nearing its goal in this
chapter, Fund Chairman V. J. Spi
vey announced late last evening.
While there has been no doubt about
the success of the drive in the chap
ter's five townships, present indica
tions are that the goal will be pass
ed by a considerable margin. It will
be remembered that this chapter ex
ceeded its goal a year ago along with
the entire nation, that had it not been
for that surplus activities of the or
ganization would have been, out of
necessity, curtailed.
Fund Chairman Spivey is anxious
to complete the drive as soon as pos
sible, and those districts where the
compaign has not been completed are
asked to continue the work even
though their quotas may have been
reached.
Williamston passed its $3,650 goal
early yesterday and the drive is still
being continued. To date, $3,890.73
has been reported, and Chairman
Spivey believes it will be increased
to about $4,500. One or two rural
communities in the township are yet
to report and the amounts raised
m the schools are to be included
along with a few contributions from
one or two residential streets and
business houses.
“We have our quota,” Mrs. Pete
Mendenhall, chairman of the Bear
Grass drive, said in presenting Chair
man V. J. Spivey with a bagful of
money yesterday. Announcing the
drive complete there, Mrs. Menden
hall turned over $533.85, the district
exceeding its quota by $33.85.
M's. J. Eason Lilley, reporting for
Griffins Township, a short time la
ter said that her district was over
the ton. but a final accounting was
delayed. “Every one cooperated
splendidly in the drive,” Mrs Lilley
said.
Mrs. R. J. Hardison, chairman of
the drive in Williams Township, was
taken sick about the middle of the
week and could make no complete
report. At that time the little district
had raised $118.00 of its $150 quota.
Others are expected to push the drive
to a successful completion, possibly
over the week-end.
No report could be had from
Jamesville, but there is no doubt but
what the people of that township
will reach and pass the $600 goal.
Little has been heard from the
drive for $800 among the colored
population in the five townships, but
they are said to be plugging away,
and Charman Spivey is depending
on the contributions from that quar
ter and from Jamesville to put the
drive safely across with some to
spare.
To date, a total of $5,032.58 has
been reported and banked, leaving
the chapter to raise $1,167.42 before
leaching its assigned quota.
No late report could be had from
the Rol c i sunville Chapter, the sec
ond in this county, but last Monday,
Rev. E. C. Wilkie, the chairman, was
quoted a.- saying that $700 of the $1,~
800 quot i I id been raised, and that
the drive was progressing satisfac
torily.

Twenty-five Civil
(!ases on Calendar
In Superior Court
Oiou! Half lh»* eases Are
Brought By Plaintiffs
—- Divorces
Twenty-five cases have been plac
ed nr. the civil calendar for trial dur
ing (In' second week of a two weeks’
term of the Martin County Super
ior Court opening here next Monday.
In twelve of the cases, the plaintiffs
a:v seeking divorces and basing their
claims on two years of separation.
Fu,- the most part, the calendar car
ries few cases of any great lmport
snce, and the civil proceedings are
not likely to attract very much at
tention.
Most of the twelve divorce cases
were booked for colored litigants. In
a few instances, the plaintiffs con
template duty in the armed services
and do not “relish” the idea of sup
porting allotments for their estrang
ed wives. Ordinarily there are very
lew divorce cases brought by mem
b< i s of the colored race, and the
number on the calendar for trial
week after next approaches an all
time record, it is believed.
The calendar is briefly reviewed,
as follows:
Standard Fertilizer Co. is suing
Farter and Monk for an account.
Robert Nelson is asking $125 dam
ages of D. M. Roberson as a result
of a motor vehicle wreck on the
Hamilton Highway on August 23,
1941.

docket, the plaintiffs seeking to re
eover $1,509 damages alleged to have
resulted when their truck collided
with the defendant’s on the Hamil
Ion Highway on April 8, 1943. The
ease was tried last November, the
judge setting aside the verdict al
lowing the plaintiffs $750. The court,
it is understood, held that if the de
fendant’s agent was negligent the
full amount should have been allow -
ed.
Will Roberson is seeking to recov
er $345 from the Farm Bureau Insur
ance Company allegedly due him as
a result of a truck fire.
Roberson’s Slaughter House is ask
ing $400 damages of the Maxwell
Company as a result of a wreck on
West Mam Street on August 17, 1943.
Lonnie Manning is suing J. C. Ruf
