S. Whitehurst Reviews Record Of Martin County Young Man Wa? On Famout Ship i Mir ing Pacific Campaign (Telling the story of the Shangri La, Seaman James Whitehurst, in previous installments, recalled the hectic days the big carrier spent off Okinawa. In the current installment he recalls the preparations made at Ulithi for a return to the fight.—Ed.) Ulithi, Sweat, Rest and Mail Our return to Ulithi was supposed to give us a rest from the rigors of fighting, but somehow we all felt like we would prefer to stay in the battle area with the Japs. Ulithi meant we could let down a bit, but at the same time, it meant back-breaking loading of stores and repairing equipment that needed attention. It meant too, that we were back in that tropical heat and would sw'elter 24 hours a day once more. Frankly, we prefer red the Japs and cooler weather to the heat and possible security of eight days. But whether we wanted to or not, three days later we w>ere back in those torrid little coral reefs, where our bodies broke out with heat rash over night and we slept in pools of perspiration. Ulithi did give us a chance to play once again in spite of the work. Hardly had we dropped anchor than the basketball games were started on the hangar deck and continued until we left. Movies were shown once again and all hands had the op portunity to go on one of those fam ous South Sea Island beer parties on a little island known as “Mog-Mog." The facilities were crude and the heat intense, yet there was a sort of tropica! lure to the tiny desert isle with its towering palms, sun scorch ed huts and crumbling grave stones. After a long spell at sea, a few cans of beer and a plunge in the surf made any spot in the vast wild erness of the Pacific look like an is land paradise. It was the escape from the ship and diversion from routine that helped more than any thing else . . . and Mog-Mog appar ently offered us that. It was surprising what a change had come over the crew since we had last been to Ulithi. On our first trip, most of us were overly conscious of the fart that Japs were still on Yap and Truk nearby. This time since we had been right up to the Jap’s front door, we felt as safe as though we had been in Pearl Harbor. . . . hardly giving the Jap a thought ex cept to envy him a bit sitting up on his home island where it was cool while we rotted and prickled in our sweat. On May 18, Vice-Admiral John S. McCain hoisted his flag and quarter ed his staff, bringing to this new car rier, which had operated in the for ward area for less than a month, the distinction of being the flagship of the Third Fleet’s Aerial Armada. This brought a flurry of excite ment for the crew who now wonder ed what this might mean to their daily lives. After a couple of days of cleaning and polishing, the Flag was well settled and the crew hardly knew there had been a change. Then after a couple of holiday rou tines, we upped anchor once more on the morning of May 24 and re turned to the Okinawa battle zone once again. Back To Okinawa We knew our strike days would be more strenuous this lime than on our first trip for now we would stay at our General Quarters Stations from before dawn until well after sunset in order to insure maximum readi ness in the event of a raid and local ization of fires and casualties in the event of a hit. vyp naa me ngures ccia uua uaiu from ships that had been hit while at General Quarters as compared with those who had been taken by h station.' > manned and the answer was plain. Though it would cause more hard ship on our part, still we were thank ful that our officers were fore-sight ed enough to take this precaution. When we read the plan of the day ' for our first strike day we received quite a jolt. There it was . . . Re veille at 2:45 A. M. and we would remain at “GQ” until after 8 P. M. Wow! war was going to be hell after all. We piled into our bunks early that night to catch every possible extra minute of sleep, but the night was gone before any of us knew just where and we found ourselves grop ing bleery eyed down the passage way for breakfast before taking our stations. Succeeding nights seemed to fly by even faster than the first. Except for our mental state of mind we really were not suffering too much from the all day “GQ” . . .

Local Post Office Misses First Class Rating by About $3,000 1,1 ■. ff .p,1 IBF'H* ceipts over the 1944 figures, the local nost office last year missed a first class rating L> approximately $3,000, Postmaster W. E. Dunn said this week. However, iocal post authori ties are optimistic over the outlook for 1946 and believe the receipts will pass $40,000, a figure that must be reached before a first-class rating can be assigned to a post office. Reviewing the office receipts by quarters, Postmaster Dunn stated that substantial gains were made during the first three periods of 1945. but a slump came last October when only a comparatively small number of packages were mailed to the boys overseas. Thousands of Christmas gifts were mailed in Oc tober, 1944, to boost the office re ceipts for the fourth quarter of that year. Receipts for the fourth quar ► V,C:t’.

Before the slump last Oc confident at the end of the third quarter that requirements for a first class rating would be met, but in stead of maintaining the upward trend, fourth quarter receipts showed a loss, leaving the office $3,168.44 short of the desired rating. In 1944 the receipts amounted to $34,152.22 and last year they total ed $36,831.56, a gain of $2,679.34. The money order business at the office here pushed on toward a record figure. In 1944, money order business amounted to $174,740.64 compared with $210,833.06 last year, an increase of $36,082.42. Over half the 1945 gain over 1944 came in the fourth quarter when money orders 'jumped from $59,299.21 to $78,123.68. jNew Hotel Proposed By Club Committees IL ROIJN1MJP After a hilarious and warbling time during the first week of the New Year, Martin County sub jects with a very few exceptions, steered a straight and narrow course last week. At least only five persons were rounded up and jailed last week. Three of the number forgot the war was over and engaged in promiscu ous shooting and fighting. One was booked for public drunken ness and still another was charg ed with drunken driving. All five were colored and their ages ranged from 30 to 50 years. Faculty Positions Filled In County Following a little flash flood of resignations just before the Christ mas holidays, nearly all faculty posi- I lions in the county school system j have again been filled, according to a report coming from the office of | the superintendent this week. Two or three positions were filled temp orarily, but as far as it could be learned all classes are being met, and I it is believed that the seriousness of I the teacher shortage is now begin ning to subside. Professor Harvey Yates, out sev eral weeks for an appendicitis opera tion, returned Monday to his post in the Robersonville High School. Mrs. Yates returned the Mondav before after a short time spent with her hua j band in a Rocky Mount hospital. Miss Patsy King has accepted the eighth grade in the Williamston School, Professor Sam Edwards switching to the science department. Mrs. Marjorie B. James has suc ceeded Mrs. Miriam J. James as sixth grade teacher in the Everetts School. Mrs. Miriam James resign ed to join her husband who recently returned from overseas. Mrs. Minton Beach is joining the !Oak City faculty, it was learned, to .complete the teacher roster there. -- Truck Knocks Down Railing On Bridge If the highway commission doesn’t j hurry up and v. iden the l iver bridge, trucks and cais and busses will tear the old one down. Time and again large sections of tlie guard rail have j been ripped off and torn down. At and a bus load of passengS^Mlffely scaped with theirs on the narrow J bridge. Lost Fnday noon, a produce truck | driven by James Wade White . of Windsor blew a tire and crashed in . to the guard rail just beyond the draw bridge. Seven sections of the guard rail were torn down and shat lered before the driver could stop. No one was hurt, and damage to truck and bridge was estimated at $500 by Hunt and Saunders of the highway patrol. Working on Deep Well at Skewarkey Equipment was moved here and set up last week for drilling a deep well at Skewarkey for the town’s . uter system. rihe town authorities propose to sink a well there about *0(J feet deep and if the water supply is not sufficient at that source, a sec ond supporting well will be sunk j in that area. Tests from the well now being dug (show a very small salt content, and it is fairly certain that tne trouble rlaguing the system will be relieved when the new hook-up is effected within the next few months. The cost of the two wells will be little more than the contract amount for the one deep one first proposed. Quite A Few Willing To Invest In Stock To Promote Project —»— Need For New and Enlarged Hotel Aeeonnnodationa Pointed Out By Group Recognizing the long existing and urgent need for larger hotel accom modations here, representatives of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Lions and Kiwanis Clubs held a pre liminary organizational meeting last week and discussed the possibilities ! of promoting such a project. Jaycees A. J. Manning, William ! Everett, J. Paul Simpson, Lions George Sfetsos, Frank Weston and j Ben Courtney and Kiwanians N. C i Green, Garland Woolard and Frank | Margolis were named by their re ' spective organizations to study the proposal and report to the three groups. Meeting in the Lotus Club, the representatives discussed the pro ject from every possible angle, and while the undertaking is quite a large one, the group was very much encouraged. The committee approached the task from two different angles, either of which will attract considerable sup port, the members believe. One of the proposals calls for the organiza tion of a stock company with plans for regular investments. The other would be advanced on a cooperative plan by which gifts would be made outright. While no large return is expected from the investment under the first plan, the promoters are of the opin ion that the project would liquidate itself in time. A greater portion of the stock, the committee believes, would have to be raised locally, but it has been intimated that a hotel chain would be glad to cooperate. Under the second plan, a fairly sizable amount would have to be raised, but at the same time outside interests would be willing to invest more because there would be no ob ligation to other investors. It was estimated by the special committee that possibly $100,000 could be raised locally under the first plan, that between twenty-five and thirty thousand could be raised un der the second plan. Following the meeting, members of the committee wc;re assured by quite a few local people that they would be willing to cooperate under either plan in pro moting the project. Several declar ed they would be willing to donate .s much »s $1,000 each, ».nd one said he would willingly pledge even a greater amount in helping meet one of the town’s most urgent needs. No assessments were considered at the meeting, but the committee brief ly reviewed the field and come to the conclusion that there are suffi cient people here who have benefi ted and thrived in the town’s pro gressive march who would now con sider it no more than fair to turn around and invest or donate out right goodly sums to insure the j town’s progressive march. The project is a town-wide under taking and is deserving of everyone’s support. Unless hotel facilities are enlarged, the progress of the town in the future will become more dif ficult, and it is indeed about time to recognize the facts as they exist and take constructive action. Members of the committee will gladly accept any recommendation the public may offer and are anxious to discuss the , proposal with interested parties. Other towns, facing similar condi tions as those existing here, are tak ing progressive steps to remedy con ditions, and the committee believes Williarr.ston is in possibly a more ad vantageous postion to act than some of tile others. A committee composed of G. P. Hall, Geo. A. Harris and James Sta ton Ayers was named by the Fire Department last evening to work with the committee members from the several civic organizations. Lists Items Needed For The Relief Of| —®— Quirk and libera! Regpoas**! -- -!« Urged For Clothing Drive Now Under Way Sponsored by the local Lions Club under the chairmanship of Bob Tark enton, the Victory Clothing Drive is oleading for a list of fifteen clothing items for the relief of ragged war victims in many lands across the seas. The list, Chairman Tarkenton said, includes, overcoats, topcoats, suits, jackets, pants, shoes, dresses, skirts, gloves caps sweaters, robes, underwear, pajamas and bedding. Hats, it was pointed out, are not solicited because they can not be properly packed without being da maged. Receiving stations are now open in Jamesville, Farm Life, Bear Grass, Williamston, Everetts, Robersonville, Hamilton. The collection is to be completed by the last of this month, but the sponsors of the drive which is being advanced on a nation-wide scale are anxious to receive and pack as many clothes as possible during the next few days. In April and May of last year, sev eral thousand pounds of used cloth ing were collected in this county and sent overseas. As a result of that drive throughout the nation, twenty five million ragged people were clothed in war stricken countries of Europe, and in China and the Philip pines. That number is a small per centage of the destitute nnd ragged millions of war victims still in des perate need. Our people are being ! asked not to forget the others. The current collection is seeking 100 mil lion garments in addition to shoes and bedding. The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Adminis tration will move the clothing and gifts overseas promptly, and estab lished agencies, including the Red Cross will see that every article is properly distributed. Reports from the first distribution | following the collection last April ideally indicate that Americans by giving their old clothing made new friends. Writing from Russia, Leo Gruliow, representative, said, “Again and again I heard these word, ‘Will you please sav thanks to our Ameri can friends for the gifts of cloth ing?’ ” Mr. Gruliow reports that on a visit to the almost totally destroyed cities of Voroshilovgrad and Stalino in the heavily devastated Dombas region he saw women and children in Ameri can clothing rebuilding homes “brick by brick.” Mr. Gruliow explained that the first job in reconstruction was pick ing up bricks, one by one. They must be cut for re-use because the j local brick plants were destroyed ' along with everything else. Even charred timbers are used over again, land even the nails are pulled from the burnt wood for re-use. “The point for the American people to re member,” he said, “and the point that the Russian people themselves stress in their expressions of grati tude, is that they would be unable to carry on this work without the gifts of clothing from America.” Little Ttfts Spend Hours at The Movie ———— Four little tots, their ages ranging from four to about nine years, left Oak City early last Saturday after noon by bus and came to Williams ton to see the movies. The four lit tle brothers, one of them having re covered from infantile paralysis some months ago, witnessed one show and sat through another and another. Shortly before midnight 1 and after the last hus to Oak City l had long been gone, the little folks left the theater and found themselv es bup.stnhvnp An accommodating taxi driver car ! ried the boys home. Families Airing Furniture On Marlin County Roads School officials, postal workers and others are of the opinion that moving will approach a new high record in the county this year. “I’ve never seen so many families airing out their household goods and earth ly possessions,” one official said. Most of the moving is within the school districts, it was pointed out. In the Everetts district, the school lost fifteen pupils but eleven new ones moved in. SIGNUP v. Approximately 1,325 Martin County farmers or about 74 per cent of the 1,650 in the county have signed their applications for soil building practices, it was learned from Miss Mary Car starphen at the office of the county agent this week. Quite a few are reporting to the agent’s office to file their applications, and others are warned that their applications should be in not later than Fri day of next week. Ten Persons V ictims of I Gun Athieknl Everetts J. S^^toore Taken Into Custody Short Time After Shooting John L. Daniel Arrested and Charged With Aiding Gun Assault -« Ton persons were painfully but | not seriously hurt about 10 o'clock last Saturday night when John Sam | Moore, colored man, fired a load of j gun shot into them at Everetts. Sev eral barely escaped with their eye sight and all carried away with them from two to an estimated 75 of No. 6 shot. Tire victims were Fabian Barn hill, Durand Beach, Horace Johnson, Herbert Jackson, Raymond Stalls, Jr., Bill and Irving Bullock, Thur man and Verban Peaks and James Eason Barnhill. One report stated that possibly two or there others were slightly glazed by a few shot, but their names could not be learn- I cd. One or two others in the group were not hit, but even if he missed one or two, Moore is believed to have established an all-time record as a marksman. I The victims were treated m the1 local hospital and in doctors’ offices here and in Robersonville, reports stating that while the wounds were | quite painful they were not serious, j Several of the victims are certain to ! carry scars for a long time, and pos- ' sihly all the shot will not be remov ed from the victims' flesh. Fabian Barnhill apparently stop ped a greater portion of the load, the young man stating that about 75 shot buried themselves in his head, shoul ders and in his back to his hips. Sev eral pierced the fingers and thumb on his left hand. Horace Johnson was shot in the neck and three shot struck him in the forehead, a scant inch from his right eye. Other vic tims were peppered at various parts of their anatomy. Shot in the stom ach and thigh, Irving Bullock called for help when blood started spurting from his thigh wounds and was quot ed as saying, “Some body help me. I’m nearly killed.’’ The group engaged in conversa tion at the side of Barnhill’s store near the front, hardly realized what had happened, some stating that they thought a firecracker had exploded among them. When they felt the sting of the shot and blood started pouring from the wounds, the ten victims quickly dispersed and ran for their homes. The community was soon stirred up and a large crowd gathered to add to the excite ment. Sheriff C. B. Roebuck and W. | S. Hunt and W. E. Saunders of the highway patrol moved in, but other than the shot gun attack, there was no disorder or trouble reported. Moore, charged with the assault, was arrested at his home near Ev eretts by the officers shortly after the attack was reported, and John L. Daniel, also colored, was arrested Sunday and formally charged with aiding and abetting the crime. No official version of the attack or the acts leading up to the attack could be had immediately. Accord ing to reliable reports, Clarence Wil liams, colored man, was drinking and cursing on the streets shortly be fore 10 o’clock that night. He was politely reprimanded for his act, and John Sam Moore, said to have been half drunk, moved in with an open knife and started to attack H. M (Buck) Ayers. Horace Johnson, to counter the attack, struck Moore, and the first phase of the trouble ended there. Moore was quoted as saying that he was going home, that he would be back and be prepared to handle the ... No great attention was paid to the threat and the group of citizens met at Barnhill’s store and ♦o go home when behind the stoi i j and fired into the group hardly 75 I feet away. Using a 12-gauge gun, j Moore fired only once, but the vic I tims find it hard to explain how so many shot could be packed into one J shell. Daniel, seen on the town streets that night, was questioned by offic trs, and the man declared that he tried to persuade Moore not to shoot. Failing to stop Moore, Daniel was said to have told Moore, "If you do shoot, you had better run like the devil,” or words to that effect. It later developed that Moore, after returning to Everetts with his gun, was stopped by Henry Lawrence who advised against the attack. Moore said in jail that he listened to Law rence and started back home when Daniel called to him and prompted him to go ahead with the attack. Moore denied the attack at first, but Itaer admitted it and involved Daniel as his accessory. Officers found Moore at his home after getting a lead from Daniel. Moore had reloaded his gun with a No. 4 shell, officers recovering the weapon from its biding place behind a trunk m the home. The defendants waived nre'imir ary examination at an informal hear ing before Justice C. B. Riddick Mon day and bond was offered. Daniel’s $200 bond was arranged, but Moore was unable to raise his bond in the sum of $1,000. _idv Moore came irorn Omujm; *I».»hk.ssk«m V,-✓ As an aftermath of all the moving- to and fro within the county and many workers re turning home from the war plants and industry. The Enter prise force is having a great time trying to keep the paper’s mail ing list in order. Over 100 changes in addresses were hand led last week, and yesterday the requests for changes were even more numerous. Quite a few of those request ing changes in their mailing ad dresses fail to list their old ad dresses, making it quite difficult for the mailing department to make the changes. Subscribers, changing their addresses, are earnestly ashed to list their old addresses when making requests for changes. Mrs. Tapina Harris Funeral Held Here Saturday Afternoon -» Native Of County Died At Home Of Craiiddaiigliter In l*itl County Friday Mrs. Tapina Perry Harris, highly respected native of this county, died at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. Chas. Simpson, in Pitt County near Winterville last Friday morning at 10:15 o’clock. Mrs. Harris had been in declining health following a fall about three years ago, but her condition was little changed until some over a week ago. She had been critically ill since January 6 and the end was expected. The daughter of the late Robert and Martha Perry, she was born in this county on June 14, 1887, and was married to Nathan T. Harris in 1884. Following her husband’s death about twenty-five years ago she had made her home with her children and grandchildren and had spent some time in the Simpson home during the past twelve months. Mrs. Harris, held in high esteem by a large circle of friends, was a faithful member of the Pentecostal Holiness Church here for twenty years. She was a good neighbor and thoughtful of others. The last member of her immediate family, Mrs. Harris is survived by three sons, Henry Harris of Peters burg, S. Tom Harris of Williamston I and Robert Harris of this county; sixteen grandchildren, twenty-four great-grandchildren and nine great great -grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted in the local Pentecostal Holiness church last Saturday afternoon at 2:80 o'clock by Rev. I). J. Little, Holiness minister of Morehead City, and her pastor, Rev. H. M. Pope. Interment was in Woodlawn Cemetery here. Wreck Victim Back In Local Hospital Critically injured when his car turned over in Bear Grass on the night of December 14, James Russell Cherry, Martin County farmer, was returned to the local hospital last Friday after undergoing two major operations in Raleigh. His back broken in two places, Cherry is paralyzed from his waist town and continues in a serious con dition, it is understood. Apparently his condition was little improved by the operations. Cherry lost control of his car in front of the Rogers home in Bear Grass and ' 1, treatment in the local hospital he was removed to Raleigh a few days later and returned here last week end. Slightly Injured In Auto Accident Gene Rawls, young Martin County man, was slightly injured when his car turned over on the Bear Grass Washington Road in Beaufort County last Thursday evening about 7:30 o’clock. Although he carried the im print of the car’s steering wheel, Rawls was able to leave the local hospital a few hours after he was admitted for treatment. Buddy Peel and another passenger in the car were not hurt. Rawls was passing a car when he met another. He cut back to his light hurriedly and lost control of the car which left the road and turn ed over. The car was wrecked. -m Locals Walloped By Bear Crass Quint Lost Friday I Williamston High School's basket ball quint was walloped by ihe strong Beai Gia.-.s Five at Bear Grass last Friday night by a score of 36 to 6.

Rr*»i ui.e..B,H{»onsj1>t!ify For Accidents Endorsed by motorists throughout North Carolina, a long-range pro gram prepared for consideration of the State Legislature was outlined recently by the Carolina Motor Club. Coleman W. Roberts, president of the club, said that a complete draft of the proposals with an accompanying ex planation was being sent to each member of the legislature. According to the proposal, North Carolina’s Safetv Responsioility Law, now under scrutiny of a legislative commission, would be modified to provide full responsibility on the part of motorists at fault in acci dents, and should force them to prove their responsibility before being al lowed to resume operation of their cars. The commission appointed by Gov ernor R. Gregg Cherry to investigate such legislation met recently to study ispects of compulsory insurance, but reached no conclusions. The inquiry was deferred until a February meet ing. In regard to the motor club’s pro oosed law, Mr. Robert explained, ‘Compulsory insurance would not be a prerequisite of such legislation, al though car owners might find insur ince of increasing convenience.” Per sons against who damages were judg ed would be subject to driver's li cense revocation pending full settle nient of damages and satisfaction of strict personal requirements. “Such 1 law would do much to help rid our highways of reckless and irresponsi ble drivers,” he said. Decrying the presence of inapt and irresponsible drivers on the high ways, the club’s program urged that North Carolina legislators institute a law requiring that driver's licenses be subject to expiration every two years, and that drivers face reexam ination before having them renewed. “Licenses should be suspended or re voked in cases of major violation,” it added. The proposed driver’s license law would also see that requirements for obtaining driver’s licenses are made more stringent. According to the proposal, a more comprehensive ex amination should be given to those applying for licenses, including a “thorough behind-the wheel test of . . aptitude in parking, maneuver ing in heavy traffic and on 'if It terrain, and reaction to traffic situa tions requiring quick judgment. ' Another measure aimed by the automobile club at improving the abilities of automobile drivers is the installation of driver training courses in schools and colleges. The instruc tion recommended would provide "indoctrination in safety rules, traf fic laws, and customs and courtesies d the road, and would go into the technique of good driving, and sim ile automobile mechanics.” Actual driving experience was also prescrib ed for those under instruction. The club suggested that “ns an ul timate aim,” the driver training pro gram should be administered by the State, but stressed the importance of independent action of schools and colleges in adding the course to their ■urrieulum in cases where this was practicable. The motor club’s legislative pro gram advocated the creation of spec ial bureaus to deal with minor in fractions of the traffic laws, to be administered by municipal or county governments, but under the jurisdic tion of recorder’s courts. The bu reaus recommended would levy fines according to a fixed scale against new offenders, while habitual or seri ous cases would be bound over to a higher authority. Of the proposed bureaus Mr. Roberts said, “They would make it possible to deal uni formly and expeditiously with traf fic cases, would relieve the cluttered dockets of the courts now handling ■Phases, and would.• the need of keeping patrolmen off the highways to act as witnesses." In its program the automobile club objected strenuously to differ ences existing in the traffic laws and court practices. Claiming that “the conscientious motorist is hamstrung in his efforts to follow the law by the confusion which its multiplicity generates,” the document suggested to legislators that their course of ac [ tion lies in unification of municipal laws governing motor vehicle traffic. The poor mechanical condition of some automobiles on the highways was held to be an important factor in the State’s accident toll; and laws requiring their regular inspection was urged as a remedy. The propos al called for routine inspections to be made at least every six months, and emphasized that in cases where a car had been wrecked or exposed (Continued on page six) -* Hunter hills Hog On Farm In County Last Saturday Hunting on the farm of Ulysses Jones in the county last Saturday afternoon o hunter rho* vni.-v^ a sow leaving a number b* small pigs.
