Plan To Pave Alleyways and
Handle Several Other
Improvements
In a lengthy session last evening,
the local town commissioners went
on a regular spending “spree,” or
dering the purchase of motorized
equipment, a cement mixer, water
pipe and fire hose. It was pointed
out that some action was almost
imperative, that it was dangerous
in some instances to delay action any
longer.
Going before the board, Dr. John
Williams cited several drainage
problems and asked the board to
consider paving some of the alley
ways and the installment of storm
sewers. In their discussion, the board
members agreed *hat the alleys lead
ing into Main, Smithwick and Wash
ington Streets should be paved and
instructed the superintendent of the
streets to purchase a $1,000 cement
mixer and handle the work as soon
as possible. It was pointed out that
the town would have much concrete
work in the future, and the invest
ment would prove economical.
The street superintendent was al
so instructed to purchase a new truck
for use in hauling garbage. The de
partment’s rolling stock is in bad
repair and garbage collections are
subject to fail unless some of the
equipment is replaced soon.
Pointing out that the water sup
ply for fire protection on Grace
Street and near the high school was
not adequate, the commissioners in
structed the water department sup
erintendent to connect two lines
which will afford circulation and a
greater source of water. Less than
200 feet of mains will have to be
laid.
A several hundred foot extension
of the water lines beyond the fair
grounds was ordered, the superin
tendent of the water department ex
plaining that applications for several
connections were pending.
Reporting to the board, a special
committee said that a town lot on
the corner of South Haughton and
West Warren Streets had been sold
for $355, that the town had several
other lots for sale.
The fire department head explain
ed that the supply of fire hose was
running dangerously low, that ap-!
proximately 1,500 feet of 2 1-2 inch
hose and 200 feet of 1 1-2 inch hose
plus connections were needed to
equip the new truck expected with
in the next few weeks and to meet
present needs.
Mayor J. L. Hassell and Fire Chief
G. P. Hall were appointed a commit
tee to make a study of the several
streets and name those with no offi
cial title.

Firemen Called To Plant
Of Lindtley Ice Company
Firemen were called to the plant
of the Lindsley Ice Company last
Friday when fire started pouring
iiuin the exhaust of the ice plant en
gine. No damage was done.
The owners and operators recog
nized no danger, but other parties
hastened tp call out the firemen
when they saw iire spouting from
the engine’s exhaust pipe.
So far this year, local firemen have
received fewer calls than in any
other like period in years.
Meeting Will Discuss Rural
Electrification In This Area
Meeting here tomorrow morning,
twenty or more representatives of
the Virginia Electric and Power
Company, headed by Mr. Clark
Spellman of the Richmond office,
will discuss plans for a post-war
rural electrification expansion pro
gram in this, the Albemarle District,
it was learned today from R. H.
Goodmon, district manager.
Representatives from thirteen
counties—Edgecombe, Halifax, Pitt,
Martin, Washington, Tyrrell, Cho
wan, Perquimans, Camden, Gates,
Pasquotank, Currituck and Dare —
are expected to be present.
No details of the proposed pro
gram have been made public, but
it is understood that the company
is planning a far-reaching program
that wiil fit in with a recognized
post-war economy. The company re
cently cancelled ail its rural electri
fication contracts, giving rural pa
trons the same minimum rate al
lowed urban customers. It is cer
tain that the new program will of
fer an attractive contract to the ru
ral people throughout this district,
that it is possible the use of light and
power will be made available to just
about every rural home in the coun
ty and district.
Anticipating one of the greatest
expansions in rural electrification
the country has yet seen, the com
pany, it is understood, has made
requisitions for equipment and ma
terials and will start work just as
soon as possible on the rural service
expansion program. No membership
fee is required and it is believed that
the contract is the most liberal to
be found anywhere. No estimate on
the line mileage was offered and the
number of potential customers the
expansion program will serve could
not be learned, but it is fairly cer
tain that it will place power and
light in reach of nearly every rural
home.

Delegations Appear
For Aid In Opening
School Lunch Rooms
—®—
Shortage of Spare Obstacle
In Opening Rooms At
Present Time
-®
Appearing before the members of
the county board of education here
yesterday morning, delegations from
several schools in the county asked
for assistance in opening lunch
rooms. There were seven delegates
from Jamesville, twelve from Farm
Life and five from Everetts. Bear
Grass had no delegation at the meet
ing but its appeal was advanced
along with the others. Much inter
est was shown in the proposed school
projects, but the shortage of space
offers a serious obstacle.
After hearing the appeals, the
board called in the county commis
sioners and a general discussion fol
lowed. The superintendent was in
structed to contact W. L. Credle, di
rector of school house planning for
the State School Commission, and
determine the type and cost of con
structing the necessary buildings.
The federal government is lending
valuable assistance in the operation
of school lunch rooms, but they do
not participate in the maintainance
of lunch rooms in those schools.
At the present time, lunch rooms
are being maintained in the white
schools at Oak City, Hassell, Ham
ilton, Kobersonville and Williams
ton, and in the colored schools at
Robersonville, Oak City and Sals-1
bury.
Appearing before the board, rep

Rural People Plead
To Commissioners
For Better Roads
—«—
Authorities Discuss a Varied
Business Calendar In Long
Session Monday
-*
Meeting in regular session here
yesterday, the members of the Mar
tin County Board of Commissioners
heard a goodly number of urgent
pleas for improved roads and the in
clusion of others in the Slate system.
The authorities were in session until
late in the afternoon discussing a
varied business calendar. They will
meet in special session on March 9
as a board of equalization and re
view.
Several petitions were placed be
fore the board and others appeared
in person to plead for better roads.
In accordance with the wishes of the
people, the board recommended that
the road in Bear Grass leading from
Bear Grass to Cross Roads at Fannie
Harris Mill via Delmus Rogerson,
Mrs. H. A. Salsbury, Walter Bailey
and others be widened. The road,
about 2 1-2 miles long, is mighty
narrow, it was pointed out.
The second request was that the
road leading off the Bear Grass-Wil
liamstcn road near John Daniel
Biggs’, thence north to the Prison
Camp dr old Greenville Road, a dis
tance of one mile, be included in the
State system.
It was also requested that the road
in Jamesville Township, running
from Cedar Branch Church a west
erly direction to residence of Horton
Modlin be included in the State sys
lem. The mile-long road serves six
families and is traveled by RFD
carrier.
A community road in Griffins
Township was also asked to be plac
ed on the State map. Starting at Jas.
A. Roberson’s, the road runs about
eight-tenths of a mile to Marshall
or Harry Corey place via farms of
W. T. Roberson, Sylvester Lilley, Ru
fus Coltrain, John Coltrain and W. B.
Harrington.
The State is also being asked to
improve the Gus Lane road leading
from Jodie Ayers’ to Joe Ausbon’s
via Stanley Ayers, Simon Rogers,
Charlie Roberson, St. Paul colored
church and school. The road serves
nine families and is traveled by mail
carriers.
A petition carrying fifty signatures
was presented urging that that por
tion of the old Jamesville-Plymouth
Road abandoned when U. S. Route
64 was established be placed on the
highway map.
At the f«qaeet of-Atrterr.oy-- Wadi
Dickens of Halifax County, and in
the absence of requests from others,
the board endorsed J. Waldo Whit
aker, Enfeild man, for State High
way Commissioner in this district.
I. Mayo Little, Robersonville man,
was reappointed a member of the
County Welfare Board to serve for
two years, his new term to begin
April 1st.
W. Clarence Wallace was appoint
ed constable for Jamesville Town
ship, his term to run until the first
of December, 1946. A $500 bond, sub
mitted by Wallace, was approved.
The board provided for the in
stallation of a telephone in the as
sistant home agent’s office in the
agricultural building.

Rev. J. W. Vinson
Gains His Freedom
—$—
Rev. Jack W. Vinson, former local
minister, and Mrs. Vinson were lib
erated a few weeks ago from a Jap
anese prison camp in the Philippines,
presumably in the Manila area when
the Americans returned there last
month. No direct word has been re
ceived from the minister who serv
ed as assistant to Rev. Z. T. Piephoff
in the churches here and at Bear
Grass, Roberson's Chapel and Poplar
Point for some time. However, an
Army chaplain has advised relatives
in this county that he had talked
with the minister and his wife, that
they were well and looking forward
to returning to the States.
The minister has a brother, Dr. T.
C. Vinson, a medical missionary in
the Philippines, but no word of his
liberation has been received. He was
last heard from at Los Banos Camp,
about 35 miles south of Manila.
Rev. Vinson gave up his work here
to return to the mission fields in
China. Just before the outbreak of
the war, he was transferred to the
Philippines where he was interned
along with other American subjects
before they could continue the trip
home.

WOUNDED
l ___
Pvt. Winford Mobley was
slightly wounded in Germany on
February 23, his wife, the for
mer Miss Catherine Wynne, of
RFD 3, Williamston, was noti
fied by the War Department yes
terday afternoon. The young man
is now in an Army hospital, pre
sumably in France.
Pvt. Mobley, son of Mr. and
Mrs. 1. D. Mobley, of near Wil
liamston, entered the service last
July 19 and went overseas short
ly after spending a fourteen-day
furlough in the county with his
i family.
The casualty message was the
second known to have been re

Red Gross Drive Half
Completed In Chapter
Original Goals Are
Exceeded by Two
Of Five Townships
Willianistou Reports $1,508.
In Ilaiui at End of First
Four Days of Drive
Accorded a liberal and willing sup
port in nearly every quarter, the
1945 Red Cross War Fund Drive is
making marked progress, but Chair
man V. J. Spivey late yesterday in
timated that the outlook was not
overly encouraging locally. Reduc
tions in some of the larger contribu
tions received by the organization in
past drives, are to be expected, it
was pointed out, and it might be
that a second solicitation will be
necessary unless all individual quo
tas are met and oversubscribed in
quite a few cases.
Up until last night a total of $2,
770.80 had been collected and report
ed by four of the five townships in
the chapter. It is fairly certain that
a sizable amount had been collected
in addition to that amount, that it
will be included in the next report.
Two of the townships, Bear Grass
and Griffins, have virtually com
pleted their campaigns. Bear Grass,
reporting $502.50 yesterday after
noon, exceeded its quota last Satur
day, Mrs. Fete Mendenhall, chair
man, explained. Mis. J. Eason Lilley,
chairman for Griffins, announced
yesterday that the $450 goal in her
district had been oversubscribed,
and that the school would possibly
boost the total to a figure in excess
of $500. Mrs. Mendenhall explained
that the Bear Grass School had not
reported, that possibly late contri
butions would send the total figure
for that district to $100 in excess of
the $450 quota.
Mrs. Claude Jenkins, canvassing
the community out on the Hamilton
Road, reported the campaign com
plete there. The people there, rais
ing $42.2;'), more than double the 1944
contribution. Several canvassers
completed their work here last week
and Mrs. Elbert Price Sherman yes
terday completed the first canvass
in the residential section. The Jun
ior Woman’s Club members are
handling the canvass on the north
side of Main Street, and members
from the Senior Club are canvassing
the residential areas south of the
street.
James die, with only three can
vassers reporting, accounted for ap
proximately $300 up until early yes
terday , ft i neon.
No rc port lias been received from
Willian : The drive among the col
ored cum. ns in the five townships
is making progress ,but is possibly
far from complete a*t this time.
The Martin County chapter is be
ing asked to raise $6,600.00 William
ston reported $1,508.30 collected up
until last night, the amount being
just a little over one-third of the
total quota assigned the township.
The fund chairman explains that
liberal contributions will be abso
lutely necessary if the township goal
is to be reached. There is no doubt
now about the progress of the drive
in the other townships in the chap
ter.

That Ia*vu* II. Davis Was
Given (iliristian Burial
In a letter received by his mother,
Mrs. Mattie Gurkin Davis, RFD 1,
Jamesville, just a short time ago,
Chaplain Gerald J. Rabe told that
Pfc. I.evie II. Davis, Jr., who was
killed somewhere in France on June
19, 1944, was given a Christian bur

The officers and enlisted men of
the 22nd Infantry Regiment, join
me in the regret that we must extend
to your our sincerest sympathy on
the death of your son, Private First
Class Levie II. Davis, Jr., ASN
14039158. Your boy was a part of our
"Famous Fourth'1 Division, as much
as he was a part of your own home.
We shall miss him, even as you your
self will miss him. We were proud
to have had him with us!
We hasten to communicate a few
facts concerning your boy which, we
trust, will prove of some comfort to
you in this hour of trial.
Your soli was killed in action,
somewhere in France, on June 19,
1944. lie now lies buried in an Am

he would have wished it, appropri

for him by a Protestant Army Chap

As a soldier, your son bravely
fought and bravely died, to stamp
out the threat of slavery which hangs
over the world today. As a member
of our great Allied Armies, he
brought liberation, new hope, and
new life to nations that had been in
sulted, robbed, toitured, defiled, and
enslaved by their conquerors. With
such courage and strength in his
heart, he walked humbly with his
God, and was therefore worthy to
conquer.
Almighty God has received the1
Supreme Sacrifice of your boy. It is,
therefore, • with- the utmost confi

‘‘May the Angels receive him at
his coming, and lead him into Para

While you grieve the death of your

Crossing Of Rhine
s Next Objective on
The Western Front
—®—
Americans Taking Over Co*
logne; Russian Attack In
The Hast Awaited
After ripping to shreds the great
er part of two German armies in
their great offensive launched just
ten days ago at the Roer River, the
American First and Ninth Armies
are now almost at a great turning
point in the war. And the next ob
jective is crossing the Rhine. Wheth
er the Allies will attempt an immed
iate crossing of the quarter-mile
stream or whether they will man
euver for positions while supplies
are brought up only time will tell.
It isn’t likely that the move will be
easy in either case.
Today, the American First Army
is mopping up Cologne, Germany's
fourth largest city with a normal
population of three-quarters of a
million people. Many of the batter
ed German troops crossed the Rhine
there, leaving remnants to carry on
a delaying action. The fight for the
city is still bitter, but the people’s
army has crumbled and the people
themselves are proving far more
friendly than Allied military lead
ers had expected. In fact, the fra
ternization of American troops with
the German people in Cologne is al
ready recognized as a problem, the
military leaders having anticipated
a cold shoulder and snipers' bullets.
The American First Army’s Third
Armored Division pulled into the
city yesterday morning at 7:11), fol
lowed about two hours later by the
104th Infantry. The Cologne resi
dents are said to have actually wel
comed the invasion and expressed
relief in the fact that the shooting
war was about over for them.
To the north, the American Ninth
joined by the Canadians are mop
ping up the west bank of the Rhine.
South of Cologne, General Patton’s
Third Army is pushing toward Cob
lenz, the action going forward under
a virtual news blackout. Still far
ther south, the American Seventh
is increasing its tempo and driving
toward Saarbruecken.
Having just about anchored their
northern flunk to the Baltic coast
and driving hard with the view of
knocking out Stettin, the Russians
are expected soon to renew their
steamroller push on Berlin. Reports
declare that the Russians have en
countered a costly and bitter fight
m mopping up isolated German pock
ets left behind in their last great of
fensive.
In the Pacific, the Marines are
bringing up vast quantities of equip
ment and material for a final drive
to wipe the remaining Japs on Iwo
Jima off the face of the earth. The
last drive possibly is already under
way. Un Luzon in the Philippines,
six Jap divisions or nearly 100,000
Japs have been accounted for. Tokyo
is still on the receiving end.
