A representative of the Freezer Locker Corporation will be present to lead the discussion and answer questions in connection with the proposed plant and its operation Farmers are cordially urged to at tend and the general public is inv't here, according to Assistant County Agent Claude J. Goodman. The proposed building will be 80 feet by 60 feet and will include the following divisions: office, process- j mg room, quick freeze space, aging room, storage room, loom for pick ing and processing chickens, and 500 food lockers. The estimated cost of the plant will be $50,000 excluding the building lot This will include the building insula tion, modern machine for picking chickens, lockers and other equip ment. The plant will be so construct ed as it may be enlarged, whenever there is a sufficient demand for ad ditional lockers. Small feeder plants will be constructed within other areas of the county so that it can serve the farmers more efficiently. Mr. J. E. Coad, of the Coad and As sociates, Inc., of Raleigh met with the county agents and a group of in terested business-men of the county and outlined the procedure for freez er locker plant construction. Mr. Coad explained that his com pany would operate on either of three plans: 1. Build, own and oper ate. 2. Build and operate with locally financed. 3. Build and sell to in terested local men. Before priorities can be obtained for this construction, it will be neces sary for an education campaign to be conducted within the county. The plant is to be first of all for the benefit of the farmers. At least 200 of fhe proposed 500 lockers must bt 3#8u--‘to farmers The remaining lockcro then may be sold to business men. The rental price of the lockers will be about $15.00 per year per six cubic feet of locker space. Any per son may have more than one locker if it is desired. The rent of the lock er must be paid in advance and money deposited in the local bank. Abut 50 per cent of the lockers must be sold before any construction on the building may begin. Complete Contracts For War Prisoners Coming in as early as 6 o’clock Monday morning, hundreds of Mar tin County farmers applied for Ger man prisoners of war to help with the 1945 peanut crop harvest. All contracts were completed by early afternoon, and other contracts will j be considered only in cases where _ there are cancellations. It was im possible to get a check on the con tracts and the number of acres the approximately 200 prisoners are scheduled to harvest beginning on or about next Monday. It was learned that the labor contracted Monday will cost approximately $14,000. No contracts were made for after October 13, one report stating that the prisoners would either be turned back to industry or returned to Ger 4 many about that time. Last year prisoners of war har vested 2,100 acres of peanuts in this country. -« Filling Station Ls Robbed Near Here Forcing an entrance by tearing a lock from the front door, robbers entered Henry Harris’ filling station in Bear Grass Township last Friday night and stole about $17 or $18 in pennies, nickels and dimes. Apparently looking for sugar, the robbers literally tore up the inside of the station-store, upsetting soft drink bottles, bags of seed, boxes and other goods. Other than the money, very little was missed from the store, officers said. -- Hi ft' Ba/lly Beaten By Husband Last Saturday According to reports heard here yesterday, Ned Stokes badly beat his wife, Sarah, last Saturday afternoon. Said to have been drinking, Stckes struck his wife with a piece of 2 by 4 timber, inflicting a 4-stitch gash under one of her eyes. • ACTION After issuing- repeated warn ings, members of the North Caro lina Highway Patrol are now taking action against the opera tion of motor vehicles improper ly equipped. The drive against operating motor vehicles with improper brakes and inadequate lights netted about twenty alleg ed violators, including one or two speedsters and a drunken driver last week-end. Accompanying the action was a solemn warning issued by County Judge J. C. Smith at the regular session of his court this week. "Some business man in this countv wanted to know what would be done if his driv ers were not licensed operators. Well, tell him they will be brought into the courts. And the speed limit is still 35 miles an hoar" ^ " Increase Noted In Draft Registration For the Past Month —•— Forty-three Men, Mostly Boys In Eighteen-Year-Old Group, Signed Forty-three Martin County men,1 nost of them just past their ■ighteenth birthday, registered last nonth for possible service in the rrmed forces. Thirty-six of the num ber are just eighteen years old rwenty-one of them are white. A few of the registrants, entering the service before the draft was created, tave served long periods of time rverseas. Just recently the Draft Board ivarned that some youths had not egistered after reaching their eighteenth birthday. Following that learning, an increase has been noted n the registration.

Gen. Hideki Tojo Is Near Death Resalt • Of Suicide Attempt rffpiortans May Bisajsrct^WW Cause of Pacific War. Tojo Declared General Hideki Tojo, the war making premie*- whose government planned and executed the attack on Pearl Harbor nearly four years ago, was reported early today to be at the point of death as a result of a self-inflicted gun wound. Few de tails of the suicide attempt could be had immediately, but it was point ed out that the wound is certain to prove fatal, that the old war lord and iron-hand dictator may have al ready died. The suicide attempt was made just a short time after the No. 1 crimi nal In the Pacific w-ar had given an interview in which he declared that America can place the blame for war, but that historians 500 or 1,000 years from now may judge different ly. While Tojo was denying blame for the war, he was particular not to mention the treatment accorded l.-y *)7,btis of^m^fna.sier race. j The occupation 'of "Jiipa'W is 'gfffiig forward rapidly, but at the same time, Jap armies entertain the idea that they have not been beaten, re ports indicating that they are mark ing time until they can prepare for another sneak attack. Other reports maintain that an underground move ment is forming, that there is talk of the Japs trying to perfect a super atomic bomb for another fling at de struction Just now the enemy is being lounded up in his last lairs. General Louis Mountbatten is scheduled to accept the surrender of the Japs at Singapore tomorrow, and the disso lution of the Japs' military machine has been ordered by General Mac Arthur. On the home front, Congress is taking up the question of demobili sation with requests pouring in for the release of more men faster and a limit on the number of draftees. The draft problem is being shifted to a voluntary enlistment basis, but so far it is making very little prog ress. The end of meat rationing is in sight for October 1, but it is not cer tain. Boots and other rubber foot -wear have been removed from the ration list. A return to standard time is pro posed for September 30.

M. on Thursday | Unable to get their floors cleared immediately following a sale, the pioprietors of the Planters Ware house here today stated that it would prove advantageous to all con cerned to wait until Thursday at 1 o’clock to start receiving tobacco following the sale there tomorrow. A special plea is being directed to farmers, urging them to deliver their tobacco in a dry condition. r AFTER THREE YEARS ] V—,— -------/ After spending 37 months in a Japanese prison camp in the „ , Philippines Rev. an<J 3frs. Jack Vinson recently returned to the "••States and last week they spent ■Will IU.,„ €»».«, n>c guests of Mr. and Mrs. Kneezer Harrison. Rev. Vinson, a former assistant pastor to the YVilliamston and Martin County Presbyterian Churches, spent several months here before he went to China as a missionary. From China he was sent to the Philippines where he and Mrs. Vinson were stationed when the attack on Pearl Harbor was made. Barbadians Return Home Reluctantly Alter 90 Days Work -—» Many Of The Men Were Gootl Workers And Wanted To Remain In IT. S. dians who have been c ployed in the county for the past 90 days in local building supply work and the pulp industries left this area for eventual return to their home. Twelve employed by the G. and H. Builders Supply Company left Tues day morning. Twenty-eight went from the N. C. Pulp Company on Sunday, September 2 The men were sent to Rocky Mount by bus, and then boarded the train for Camp Murphy, Fla. All travel ex penses to Camp Murphy were paid by the employing companies. In ad-. dition, each man was given from $2 | to $3 spending money by the com panies for the trip. These workers, who have been with the county concerns since June 4, are a part of a group of 1,644 Bar- j badians who docked at Norfolk on June 3. They were brought to the j county by the government to relieve the serious manpower shortage pre valent at that time and were assign ed to work in the lumber and pulp industries by contracts negotiated through the War Manpower Com mission. Their native island of Bar bados is a British Crown Colony, one of the Winward Islands in the lesser Antilles group, and is near the coast of Venezuela. These workers were returned be cause their initial 90-day contract has been automatically terminated and the War Manpower Commission in Washington and the immigration authorities have ruled that all for ■iytfn workers he retorted at once. This action was taken because the end of the war is expected to alleviate the shortage of labor in this country, and with the huge number of war veterans that arc returning home, it was considered imperative to take all possible steps to avoid an anticipated congested labor market condition. Mr. Griffin of the G and H. Build ers Supply Company said all his men expressed a reluctance to leave, and indicated that they would prefer staying here to returning to the crowded conditions and low wage scale of Barbados. Although they accepted their departure in a resign ed manner most of the men stated that they would return here if it was humanly possible. “Eight of the men were excellent workmen, one fair and the other three were of local caliber," Mr. Griffin said. “It was unfortunate for us that they had to leave soon after they had got accustomed to oui work and had acclimated them selves.” Mr. Griffin stated that the Bar badians did not have large, fine qual ity mules in their native land. One of the men, according to the local employer, became devoted to a pair of mules owned by Messrs Griffin and Bill Harrison. He would feed and nurse them as if they were babies. When he left, with tears in his eyes, he told them to be good to his mules for he would return just as soon as he could. It is doubtful whether high Ameri can wages resulted in the return of any new-made capitalists to Barba does. In addition to the regular withholding tax and social security payments extracted by Uncle Sam, the employers sent a flat 25 per cent of each man’s gross wages to the British government. Local Boy Travels The Stilwell Road * Ledo, Assam, India.—Pfc. Robert J. H.

Despite in creasing amounts of damaged leaf the price aveago last Friday for 307,706 pounds was $43.38. Sales through last Friday totaled 3,226.590 pounds, reports from the market this morning indicating that the day's offerings would boost the season total to date to well over three and one-half million pounds.

Realizing that it is impossible to keep their tobacco from spoiling when packed on warehouse floors days head of the sales, some farmers have quit preparing any for market. However, the rush is still on in a big way, and it is feared in some quar ters that a price drop will follow. During the meantime there is a pos sibility that selling schedules will be altered again, some observers declar ing that the one day holiday each week is not offering needed relief in redrying plants and factories. Williamstoirs School Plant To Be Expanded To Center Around High School Site County Superintendent Says Present Facilities Are Non Filled To Capacity A building program for the Wil liamston school system in the near future is regarded as necessary by County Superintendent J. C. Man ning, who declares that vital statis tics indicate present facilities will he wholly inadequate soon. In an impromptu talk before the Kiwanis Club Thursday night, Sup erintendent Manning told of the vex atious problems with which school authorities everywhere are now com pelled to contend. Some of them, he said, are met and solved as they come up. Others have to be handled as well as possible with whatever relief is available. The teacher problem has been a serious one, as it has all over the j slate, but all classes in the county are j provided with the best available teachers now although some of the veterans members of the county staff were lost to other counties pay ing supplements to the teachers to! increase their pay over the amount paid in every county by the State. Lack of housing facilities here had complicated the teacher problem, Mr. Manning said, adding that the jjifiTcipal oi Vue 'V/iUiun,Stars School had not been able to locate living quarters here for his family. Despite the increased pay now al lowed teachers by the State School authorities, Superintendent Manning does not anticipate a rapid return of men to the teaching profession they were called upon to leave because of the war. It will be some years and perhaps only after a change in the national economic picture before the men return to the class rooms, he believes. There used to be half a dozen men on the high school faculty list, he said. | While there are 25 teachers in the Williafnston school this year, there will be 28 next year on the basis of present figuies, two in the high school and one in the elementary de partment. I Speaking of the imminence of a building program for the Williams ton schools, Superintendent Manning | said that no further expansion was possible within the limits of the pres ent facilities and that expansion would have to be by way of new buildings. The elementary school property is not capable of handling expanded facilities as any further building there would not leave suf ficient room for playgrounds, he said An increased enrollment would not, he added, permit the children room to run and play when they were out of classes. “It has been 10 years since we did (Continued on page six) -<*, Jamesville Board Seeks Teaeherage Appearing before the members of the Martin County Board of Educa tion Monday, Messrs.

The board took the request under advisement. The Gold Point School consolida tion plan came up for discussion at the meeting, but no definite action was taken to move the children to Robersonville. Howevf . the super intendent was instructed to move one of the two teachers there to the .school in Robersonville. leaving the other with 43 pupils. It was tenta tively agreed iast year that no ac tion would be taken to consolidate the school with the one at Roberson ville as long as attendance figures averaged 45 or more. All board members except Mem ber Leslie Hardison attended the meeting. One of (lie difficulties which have haunted school officials for the past several years, appears to be well taken care of this year. Superintendent .1. C. Manning of the county schools says that all buses lo he operated dtiring the year have been assigned to drivers approved by the Safety Department of the State High way Commission. Besides the re - quirement that they he compe tent drivers, they must also be more than 1<> years of age, lie said. The last vacancy was filled last week when an applicant who had previously passed other tests observed his Kith birthday.

Along with the removal of ; point-value charts and the post ing of “No Point” signs, says the Monitor, one grocer was observ ed taking down a wall sign that said: “Please be kind to our clerks—they are harder to get than customers.” In its place went another sign: “The customer is always right.” Two Nearly Cut To Death HeroDnrm" The Past Few Days Drunk" \\ allow In Street* and ftr»Yrt leaser* in Special (ionvenlion Monday Alcoholic beverage control all but lost its grip on the liquor situation in this immediate section last week-end when the drunks moved in on Wil liamston in numbers and two persons were dangerously assaulted with knives, axes and baseball bats, the crime orgy being climaxed by a big convention of alleged bootleggers in the county court on Monday. During the periofl, the Proctor Shoppe was entered, possibly on Sunday night Approximately seventeen drunks were counted on the streets Saturday night. Exact locations could not be had for all, but one report declared that two were stretched out in front of the new dime store, one in front of the old dime store, one in a yard on the main streets, two at the Two Way Service Station. Two were plac ^injai! all, <E<T) Wiggins ..the k sUMW * Davis wit!, a knife on Washington Street late that night and almost killed him. The victim, dangerously stabbed in the back and cut on the side of the head, was removed to a Washington hospital. Wiggins was arrested yesterday by Officers John Roebuck and Chas. R. Moore and placed in jail. A hearing is being delayed pending the outcome of the attack victim’s condition, which was described as serious late yesterday. Early yesterday afternoon, Daisy Thompson and Harry Reddick at tacked John Wilder at his home on Elm Street. Using a knife, axe and baseball bat, the two nearly killed the victim. A had gash was made in his shoulder with the axe One ear was almost cut off and there were knife gashes on his head and face. Thirty-one stitches were necessary to close the wounds. Reddick W'as held for the higher courts. One re port stated that the attack had its origin over a fifty-cent debt, the at tackers claimed Wilder made about a month ago when he bought a drink el' liquor. As an aftermath to the deadly weapon attack, the Thompson woman and Nellie Wilder, the daughter of John Wilder, engaged in an affray. Each of them was fined $15 and tax ed with $7-50 costs. The drunks and the attacks attract ((1 little public attention, hut the trials of a goodly number of alleged bootleggers in the county court yes terday attracted big crowds. Some calk'd the meeting a special conven tion 't-i-s, but it was an**""' thing blit a happy one. There was much moaning and groaning heard during the convention, and unusual evidence was offered before the ses sion was brought to a close late in the afternoon. One defendant was said to have canned her case direct to Judge J. C. Smith, explaining that she was disgusted with the liquor business, that she was guilty and wanted to get her trial over with. In court yesterday afternoon she plead ed not guilty. The defendant was sentenced to jail for ninety days, the court suspending the term upon the payment of a $20 fine, the approxi mate profit from the sale of two or three quarts. As far as it could be learned noth ing was missed from the Proctor Shoppe, officers staling that the back door to tlie store was found open yesterday morning. Limp And Seed Are To I5r Distributed Applications for lime will be re ceived in the Triple A office in the Martin County agricultural building in Williamston on Saturday of this week, il was announced this week. Deliveries will be made in October. Last spring, approximately 1,400 tons of the lime were delivered to farm ers in this county. The1 farmer pays 95 cents cash plus $3.40 which will be deducted from his soil payments for each ton he contracts for. Orders are also being taken for Italian rye grass seed, the office ex plaining that 4,000 pounds had al ready been delivered and that 6,000 more pounds are now available. The seed cost 10 cents a pOund, but the purchase price is deducted from soil payments without any cash cost to the farmer, it was explained. Several Injured In Creek Bridge Wreck Three persons were hurt, two of them badly, when their car crashed into an abutment on Conine Creek Bridge on Highway 17 early yester day morning.
