The fantastic Jap claims in the re cent battle area have been declared unfounded, and instead of the Am erican fleet being wiped out, Admir al Chester Nimitz explains that the enemy after venturing out and see ing what was afloat turned tail and scooted for safety. Accepting their own Tokyo pro paganda, the Jap imperial sea lords paraded their ships out to sea, chink ing their increased airpower had wip ed out the American fleet. They soon learned how fantastic the claims were and withdrew before a shot was fired. The enemy air at tack, according to Admiral Nimitz, struck two medium-sized American ships, possibly light cruisers, mak ing it necessary for them to with draw from battle formation. Casual ties were light. The score in the eight-day battle centered around the Philippines and Formosa shows that the Japs lost 828 planes, including 35 probables, and 146 surface ships. The land de struction was too great to mention. Our losses were 58 planes. While these large-scale activities were being reported, the situation for the Chinese in China steadily grows worse. On the Western Front, those men in the front lines were said not to be very optimistic, but that their morale was high. No marked changes have been reported there during the past few days. An example in de struction is being offered at Aachen and it is still believed that the Al lies are working to advance a gen eral and all-out offensive against the enemy “soon.” However, the Germans, acting more as mad men than as soldiers, have countered with daring thrusts, apparently trying to find a weak spot for a strong coun terattack. The city of Aachen is now completely isolated, and late reports state that 1,300 Fortresses and Lib erators today are pounding Cologne, the apparent next objective in the Allied march. The Canadians are reported to have made much progress in their drive to liberate the approaches to the great Belgian port of Antwerp. A move to liberate Greece and trap many of the enemy there is progressing. In Hungary turmoil is rampant with the Hungarians fight ing the Allies, the Germans, and among themselves.

This lat est shipment makes a total of 18O, 000 smokes that the club has been able to send overseas since it began its project in June, and the club wishes to thank everyone who makes a contribution to this worthwhile cause by dropping their donations in one of the Lims cigarette fund jars. In a recent talk with a local soldier ’ffiffne fiom two years of service ov-1 erscas, a member of the club’s cigar- i ette committee finds that the boys “over there” really do appreciate what this club, and other clubs, are doing to make their tasks on the bat tlefront easier, by sending them these comforts from home. Accord ing to this soldier, it makes it much easier for overseas servicemen to do a better job when they know that the folks at home are supporting them, and have not forgotten them. The club’s committee has just com pleted another round of collections and it wishes to recognize the follow ing firms where the largest dona tions were made. In first place and with an all-time high to date was the jar located at Pender’s Grocery, where Lion Ronald Nichols and oth er employees really emphasized this fine work, and as a result, a total of $15.15 was raised. Second place honors went to the jar at Terry Brothess store at Bear Grass, where an outstanding job is always done, largely through the efforts of Mrs. 1 win Terry. $7 31 was raised there. Rounding out the “big three” was, another jar that usually ranks high, j this one being the Clark’s Pharmacy jar, where $4.71 was realized, thanks to the boys and girls at the fountain. | First Reports on United War rFnnd Drive / Firs* reports reaching here late yest- relay clearly indicated that thi: county would reach and pars it! current United War Fund quota Chairman N. C. Green stated tha the preliminary reports were verj encouraging, and that while ht knew the task would require mucl work he was certain that the gooc people of Martin County would re member our boys in the service anc support the humane cause in the name of suffering humanity across the world. No detailed reports could be had as the drive only got underway yes terday morning, but several canvass ers were quoted as saying that they had not had the first refusal, thal the people were responding liberal ly and willingly. It isn’t likely that the drive will be completed in the county this week, but several com munities are working to reach their goals as quickly as possible. Some FIGHTING SPIRIT v. His left arm almost torn off in an automobile accident near here early last Thursday night, Pfc. C. C. Thompson expressed a strong determination to get into actual combat. The young Silver Spring (Md.) Marine asked Dr. Brown if an artificial limb could be supplied one that would permit him to hold a gun. Behind an obliging smile, the doctor said, “Possibly so.” The Marine replied, “That will be fine. You know that old so-and-so left hand never was much use, anyway.” News of the accident was quite a shock to Mrs. Thompson and their two small children. She was said to have broke down and cried over the telephone, the two children joining her. The young Marine has been transferred to a government hos pital, late reports stating that he was getting along remark ably well.

ROUND-UP V./ Last week-end was a compar atively quiet period despite the fair and the larger-tban-usual crowds that poured into town. Only five arrests were made by cooperating offscers. Two per sons were jailed for drunken driving, two for public drunken ness, and one for allegedly as saulting anoithet-yAth a deadly weapon. Four of the group were white, and their ages ranged from 22 to 51 years. I sizable contributions have been made but if the challenge is to be met more individuals will have to share in the great opportunity to do good for and help others. Martin County is being asked tc raise $9,537.02 for the fund this month. Appeals have been directed to the people from the press, radio, windows, pulpits and schools. It is sincerely hoped that our people will rally in support of the drive and not inconvenience those who are giving of their time ard means to carry the campaign into every community in the county. Chairman Green stated yesterday that he was much pleased with the response received when he appealed to citizens in the various townships to lead the drive in their respective communities. All of them are busy, and many have contributed freely of th<’ir time and means in the past for the war effort. Tells Of Chaplain In Field Service The following account, centering around Rev. Z T. Piephoff, former local minister, and taken from the “Howitzer,” Camp Howze (Texas) newspaper, tells about the Army chaplain in field service: “When Battalions of the 140th go out in the field for bivouac, all mem bers of the units live, sleep and eat in the open, including the chaplains. “The average non-bivouacer might wonder just what the chaplain, re moved from the chapel, does in the field A visit to the 140th’s Second Battalion, parked out in the open ‘somewhere in Texas’ would reveal Chaplain Zachary T. Piephoff’s set up—an open air shelter with can dles, a velvet back drop and golden crucifix arranged beneath perhaps one of the largest oak trees in Tex as, near the center o’f the bivouac area. Beside the altar is the Chap lain’s tent, where most of the Chap lain’s business is conducted—corre spondence, interviews and the like. It's a large tent, complete with field desk, table, book racks full of re ligious literature and a victrola out fitted with religious, classical and popular records which plays at var ious times during the day and night when the men are in the area. “The men do not lack for music, for the portable organ is ready for duty every night with Pfc. Jack Sweat at the keys. The organ sounds off during chow and in the evening men will gather around for varieties of barber shop group sings and solos. Another morale builder supervised by the Chaplains is the Battalion PX, carted out to the field every day, selling anywhere from $60 to $70 a day. "Although each chaplain must re turn to the 14'1*h Chapel every third day..m jiwv.nn..tnp regular, dtitigs there, all chaplains must sleep every night out in the field. Night time will find Chaplain Piephoff bearing up under the rigors of open air slumber, on a cot perched on top of his jeep’s trailer.” Side Of Car Ripped Off On Main Street • Driving down the main street here last Friday afternoon at 4:50 o’clock Alton Raynor, 20-year-old Plymouth man, tore into the rear of M.

Ben Hopkins, and, no doubt, will be read with much interest. A few words were cut out by the cen sors in Australia.—-Ed.) Others may boast of bloody hat ties, and of night-fighting in the jungles, but Martin County's sons— eleven of them—in the Engineers, are just as proud of the vital supply work they are doing in the *ome times dubbed “fighting engineers.” The boys, from Williamston and the vicinity, are: Ben Hopkins, Hay wood Wynne, Maurice Pate, Gilbert Ward, Leslie Manning, all from Wil liamston; Robert E. James and Bus sell Roebuck, of Robersonville; Mor ris Stalls, of Everetts; William C. Thomas, of Oak City; Dick Slade, of Hamilton, and John Gurganus, of Bear Grass. Although the nature of their work falls under the heading of military information, and cannot be detailed here, the boys are by no means bored with New Guinea life, and their do ings would furnish a comparison to Pvt. Hargrove’s famous work. To gether since their induction into the Army on February 4, 1943, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the eleven have seen five months of Texas and eight months of the California des ert, not to mention incidental lime spent en route elsewhere and the six months spent so far in New Guinea.

Haywood JVynne, of Doodle Hill and old Coast al Plain League ballplayer, says he Would rather bat at the ball than the Japs. Bgt.

B.—The young ladies of Williamston may be interested to know that Sgt, “Sport” Hopkins is now the proud possessor of a full grown beard, which gives him an un usually fierce appearance. He is mostly noted for his ability in talk ing. Says Sgt. Hopkins, Belk-Tyler is a much better place than this. Cpl Leslie W. Manning, a former electrician employed at Plymouth, N. C., now does wiring, carpenter ing, and general repair work in the army. He has recently been put in business as a G. I. shearer, the bowl style. Pfc.
