being held to maik an all-out start

of this or early next week.

Seaman Monk Gobi)
On Beach 'Vacation
After cleaning kitchens at Camp
Peary for several weeks, Seaman
Monk Cobb, former Martin County
Draft Board clerk, has been giv
en the opportunity to clean himself
up a bit. He is now “vacationing” at
Virginia Beach.
In a week-end letter, the second
class seaman said:
“Well, here 1 am from poor to
riches, and I mean we are living
swell. I’m afraid I’m going to awake
any minute now and find myself
back at Camp Peary on K. P. duty.
Just to show you that they were
consistent about policy, when we
returned there from our leave, they
sent us out on a detail to build a bri
dle pat hthrough the woods in order
for the ‘"T'’ am to have ttomewh» «
ence. We excav’a*ed hills and filled
holes with a jeep (wheelbarrow) and
shovel. One boy made a peculiar
wish, Quote: “I hope the captain lives
to be a thousand years old and has
the itch every day.”
• They soon had a draft that took
us from Camp Peary and on the way
over by bus we sang quite a few
songs, beginning with “Onward
Christian Soldiers,” and ending with
the w'eil-known tune of “Inky-Dinky
Parley Vous,” the stanzas hardly
standing up in print.
“Well, we are here now and they
are shoving things at us so fast that
if you lean over to tie a shoe string,
you’ll miss two years of high school.
Be sure and tell any potential sail
ors if they are qualified for any spe
cific line or branch, to be sure and
list everything, then they’ll use ’em
somewhere else.”
In conclusion, Seaman Cobb stat
ed that he was getting along all
right, that if he had to do it all over
again, his attitude wouldn’t change.
PROSPECTS
V__*
Prospects for the current to
bacco crop in this county as a
whole are still not at all encour
aging:. according to reports heard
here over the week-end and yes
terday. Some farmers were still
resetting the middle of last
wek, the continued dry and hot
weather during subsequent days
nullifying their work almost to
the last plant. For the most part,
the crop is “broken" aud its
growth is unusuallv late.
However, there are a few good
crops scattered in the county
and in some areas where rains
fell last week the prospects are
fairly bright. Farmer T. II.
Wynne, KFI) 3, stated last week
that he had blossoms on his to
bacco on invasion day, and Far
mer Bud Mobley reported blos
soms a few days later.

Interesting Fuels About IVIen
Revealed by Office of
War Information
In a story just released by the
Office of War Information some in
teresting facts about the “lost" men
are revealed. The story, for the
most part, is applicable to the camp
here even though there are less than
500 German pi isoners of war here
at the present time. The story
reads:
Of more than 180.000 prisoners of
war now held in over 100 permanent
camps in the United States, 130,000
are Germans and 50.000 are Italians,
the Office of War Information re
ports. Only 200 Japanese prisoners
of war, taken captive on the high
seas or in isolated outposts have been
brought to this country.
German and Italian prisoners are
here for three reasons: 1, it is more
economical to bring them to this
country than to ship food overseas
for them; 2, it is dangerous to keep
a large group of the enemy in the
rear of fighting troops; and 3, Ameri
can soldiers overseas may be better
utilized otherwise limn in guarding
prisoners of war.
Although Japan did not, ratify the
Geneva Convention, which governs
most of the civilized nations in their
internment of prisoners of war, this
country treats Japanese with the
same consideration given Germans
and Italians. Japan agreed to follow
the convention "so far as applicable”
hut has not permitted "neutral ob
servers to visit camps where Ameri
cans are held.
Japanese Considered Dead At Home
While Japanese prisoners in this
country may be visited by represen

Taken ill suddenly last Saturday
morning, Dr. Victor E. Brown was
removed to Durham hospital late
that day for treatment. The nature
of his illness could not be learned
immediately, but it was stated that
he was almost overcome by ex
haustion that morning, that he had
a severe chill a short time later and
that his fever continued upward
when it was thought advisable to
remove him to Durham. No late

PURPLE HEAR]
Recognition for bravery in the
line of foreign service has come
to Pfc. William Harcum Capps,
Williamston youth who was
wounded about May 13th in the
battle in Italy, with the presen
tation of the purple heart. The
medal was received by his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Capps,
here this week.
The last message from young
Capps was received about three
weeks ago and stated that he
was getting along very well in
a hospital in Italy. He was
wounded in the leg, and at the
last report was still using
crutches.

Driving across the Cherbouri

to be one of the major strokes i:
the second phase of the invasion bat
tie. Driving from Quiricville, Ameri
can forces overcame stubborn re
sistance to complete a path acros:
the territory to a point near Carteret
The accomplishment brought witl
it addl'd problems for the Allies a:
well as worries for the enemy. Whili
the Allies are progressing in theii
march toward Cherbourg, it is ;
bitter struggle, the entrapped enemj
apparently choosing to fight and dii
rather than surrender. The possibili
ty of reenforced counterattacks bj
the enemy is now recognized. Bir
al! in all, the invasion fight is going
very well.
American losses in the invasior
have be"n placed roughly at 16,000
the figure including about 3,64f
killed.
A few casualty reports on the in
vasion battle have been received it:
widely scattered areas in this coun

been received in this county, as fat
as it could he learned here early
today.
While hardly attracting as much
attention as the invasion front news
developments in the Pacific are be

schedule on the Continent. Ad

Hitler’s supermen arc still run

The Russians arc making progress
in their inc" to neutralize then

of the most powerful drives now in
the making on the Eastern front. It
is believed by some that Russia will
start at least a two-pronged drive
aimed at Berlin some lime about oi
before tin- middle of July.
Another encouraging bit of news
on the war front comes from Yu

County l>oy Praises
Clannci Pate, young Martin Coun
ty youth now serving with the Mer
chant Marine, in a letter to the En
terprise discusses the importance of
the service in the winning of the
war.
Professing a great pride in being
a merchant marine, he says, “Since
the entry of this country into war,
the American Merchant Marine has
been cited by Admiral Nimitz. Gen
eral Eisenhower, General MacAr
thur, and General Montgomery as
one of the most vital services in
bringing victory. Its vessels have
carried troops and supplies to every
fighting front. They have been sub
jected to every form of assault the
enemy has devised to prevent the
completion of their missions. They
have been bombed, torpedoed and
subjected to shell fire. Many, but
not enough, people remember the
heroism of these men who fought to
maintain this lifeline of existence
alone and unaided in the early days
of the war.
'Tn fact, so many of our merchant
-hips were h< ing sunk at lie !••#»*•
'll. it is ,?^ia?f^UTat
some 1U to 15 ships were being sunk
in a single week. In February, 1942,
the War Shipping Administration
was set up by order of President
Roosevelt, to take over all merchant
shipping. The government started
putting ample protection on each
vessel before it came out of the ship
yards. Today the merchant ship trav
els in convoys with Naval protection
on the seven seas wherever the
fighting men require the tools ol
war.
"The armed forces know and the
public should realize, the valor with
which the seamen have pumped the
life blood of supply through the
arteries of the Allied armies.”

The Martin County Superior Court,
convening yesterday for the trial
of both criminal and civil eases, was
nearing a close today after clearing
a lone criminal case and handling
five divorce actions during short
sessions yesterday morning and
a fternoon.
The court itself attracted very
little attention, the number of spec
tutors hardly measuring up in num
ber to an average size attendance
upon a session of the county tribu
nal. Judge C’ Everett Thompson of
Elizabeth City opened the session on
lime and after a two-minute chat
with the "permanent” grandjury
ordered the first case for trial The
criminal docket carried only four
cases and not a single one of them
reached the jury. The case charg
ing Claude Spruill with bastardy
was nol pressed when the prosecut
ing witness admitted that she had
accused the defendant wrongly.
Anxious to do justice. Solicitor Don
Gilliam asked the name of the guilty
| party. The young mother, offering
I a tiny tot as evidence, said it was a
' hoy.' "And what's the boy's name?”
asked the solicitor. "I did not ask
him his name,” the prosecuting wit
ness replied. Case dismissed.
A continuance was granted in the
case charging Henry Daniel and
Arzelia Keel Langley with bigamy
i'he action was taken when it was
explained Hud a divojee was pend
ing.
James Douglas, charged with
breaking into and robbing the
Jumesville liquor store the latter
part of last January, failed to answer
when called and Judge Thompson
offered his $500 bond forfeited.
Papers for the man's arrest were
issued.
Lion Parker, charged with rape,
pleaded guilty of an assault upon
a female The plea wits accepted
and Hie defendant was sentenced
to the roads for eighteen months, the
court suspending the sentence upon
the payment of the costs and after
placing him on probation.
Five divorces, all based on two
years i f separation, were granted,
as follows:
Samuel Sneed against Lizzie Mae
Sneed, Lula Pittman against Charlie
Pittman, Johnnie Powell against
Mary Eliza Powell, Linwood S.
Wonthersbec against Essie Warren
