The regular meeting of the town commissioners was postponed last Monday night on account of the may or’s absence, but no date for the session has been announced. Activities Fast Returning To Normal Along Roanoke Here Virtually at a standstill for months on account of flood waters, activities on and along the Roanoke River in this section are rapidly returning to normal with the expectation that they will be considerably increased when the herring and rock fishing season gets under way in the next ten days or two weeks. It was point I ed out that during the past three months, the river was in flood stage 67 days. Logging firms, almost idle since the latter part of last November, are returning to the river lowlands and tugs and barges are again traveling the stream. Closed down for months, .the large lumber plant of the Saun ders and Cox company is now op erating on a regular schedule, one report stating that several barge loads of logs had been brought down the river during the past few days. Unable to maintain operations in the lowlands, an Elizabeth City mill shifted its loggers to the hill sides and trucked logs over the highways la distance of nearly 80 miles for sev eral weeks. The company’s barges are now returning to the river and normal operations are anticipated during the next few weeks, at least The winter season now nearing an end possibly offered the greatest ob stacles encountered by plants de pending upon the lowlands for then raw materials than any other one in several years. Little progress was reported this week but nets are being made in large numbers preparatory to launching large-scale operations within the next few days. C. C. Flem ing, owner-operator of the commer cial fishery at Jamesville, stated that arrangements were about complete for opening the season there about Monday, March 18. "We will hard ly start before that date, and it is possible we will wait a few days after that, depending on conditions,” Mr. Fleming said this week. FARMING With favorable weather pre vailing earlier this week, many Martin farmers started breaking land and making preparations for another season. Fertilizer movements have been fairly heavy during the past several weeks. Most of the irish potato acreage has been planted. To bacco plants are up, and sap is rising in the trees. There are a few more days in the winter calendar, but spring gained a fairly firm hold during recent j days. Post Human Bond In Unusual Case C;ish bonds, ranging up to $50,0f)0, have been known in this section, but in one of the few if not the first case ever recorded in this county a hu man bond was posted this week. Two brothers, Curtis and Willie B. Yarn'll, were carried into the coun ty court for being drunk and assault ing officers. Each of them was sen tenced to the roads for four months. Judge J C. Smith, having compas sion on them, suspended the road terms on condition that they pay $40 fines and the court costs. The terms of the judgment were agreeable, but the brothers, just recently out of the armed forces, explained that they left their money at home in Pitt County when they went off on a spree the early part of last week and landed in jail here. Unable to get in touch with rela tives or friends, the two brothers re mained in jail. And their plight was little improved after judgment had been pronounced. Finally, it was agreed that one of the brothers should go home and get the money for the fines and costs and that the other would remain in jail until the fust one returned. It was also agreed in the event the first brother did not return, the second one was to serve eight instead of four months on the roads. Chosen for the mission, Curtis went home, got the money and re turned to free his brother and clear his record before 5 o’clock last Mon day afternoon. -# ■. , ■ — Five Called For Army Examination -a Five Martin County colored men were called last Tuesday to report to Fort Bragg for pre-induction exam inations.

Recent Letter Says Louis Holliday Died On December 7,1942 —*— County Young Man Ship* wrecked And Taken Pris oner At Corregidor Last week Mrs. K. E. Baker receiv ed further information concerning the death of her brother, Louis T. Holliday, machinists' mate first class, United States Navy, who was on the U. S. S. Finch and died in World War II. The information was re ceived by Lt. Cmdr. David Nash, of New Jersey, and P. M. M. Leonard O. Bellstrom of Portland, Oregon. Lt. Cmdr. Nash who collected data for the Navy reported Louis Died Doc. 7, 1942, instead of May 3, 1943, as had been previously reported by the Navy Department. December 7, 1942, has now been accepted as the official date. Mr. Bellstrom who was on the U. S. S. Finch wrote Mrs. Baker the fol lowing letter: Dear Mrs. Baker, In regards to your letter of the 19th I will answer to the best of my ability the questions you have asked me. I first met your brother Louis shortly after I reported aboard the U. S. S. Finch for duty, about Sep tember the 19th 1941. There were a number of times that your brother and I worked together on the differ ent machines that are in the engine room on the U. S. S. Finch. After the war was declared Louis stayed in the engine room to stand guard and repair if necessary, while I was assigned to man a gun on the weather dec*. Louis had the harder job of the two of us. After the ship was sunk by a bomb, which exploded close to the ship, the crew was ordered to Cor regidor to different duties. Louis and I were assigned to guard the Navy tunnels. Louis was guarding Tunnel No. 7 and I guarded the en trance to Queen’s Tunnel until Cor regidor surrendered. I saw Louis every day on Corregidor. After the surrender I lost track of him until we met at the prison camp at Cabatuana in the Philippines. Louis and I were in the same bar racks until a detail or the detail that Louis and I were on, that went to Hoten Camp, Manchuria. After we arrived in Manchuria, we lost one another for a few days. I found out he had been put in the hospital there in the prison camp. On the ship go ing to Manchuria, I knew that he was sick but didn’t know just how sick he was. While on the ship I did what I could for Louis. Also on the train from Tusan, Korea, to Ho ten, Manchuria, I did all that I could for Louis even though I was a little uck myself. On the rvigfe*. 7 1942, Louis passed away and two lays later was buried. I helped car ray Louis to where he was buried. While in the Philippines Louis 'alked a lot about his sister and father and I kept encouraging him as much as I possibly could to keep up his morale, even though mine was low. I guess everybody’s morale was ow at that time but we had our hopes and that is what kept a lot of us going. Sincerely, Leonard O. Bellstrom. Louis was the son of the late W. II. Holliday and Mrs. Beulah Holli lay of the State Hospital in Raleigh. i.uunly Man Discharged By Army Last Sunday -§ Luther Cleveland Modlin, elec trician’s mate, first class, was dis charged from the Navy at Camp jhelton, Va., last Sunday.

Estimates placed the at tendance between 750 and 1,000, the crowds packing the old wooden structure from stem to stern and from side to side. Bear Grass pushed two teams to the semi-finals and Robersonville and Farm Life scored victories in the .opening rounds of the tourney while the Jamesville and Oak City girls and the Robersonville and Williams ton boys drew a bye. In the first game of the tourna ment, the Robersonville and Wil liamston girls battled nip and tuck all the way, the Robersonville sextet winning 27 to 25 in what was describ ed as the feature on the card that evening.

The Carolina Magazine won the nation’s highest award for college publications in 1942.

Four Cars Figure In Road Accident Near Here Tuesday -—— Two Boys Painfully Hurt In Second Accident Short Time Later Two persons were painfully hurt and several others were scratched and bruised slightly in a series of motor accidents on U. S. 64 near here last Tuesday evening. Gilbert Hop tins, suffering a shoulder injury and a bad cut on one finger, and his thirteen-year-old brother, Gordon Hopkins, bruised and skinned almost from head to foot, were removed to Brown’s Community Hospital here for treatment. Victims of another accident earlier that evening did not report for medical attention. The first of the accidents was re oorted close to Bethlehem church in 'Williams Township about 7:30 that evening. Nathaniel Coy Hardison, olored man, was driving toward Williamston when he stopped to keep from running over a loose horse, said to belong to Farmer Joe Johnson W. J. Miller, Sr., driving behind Hardison, stopped within a few feet of the Hardison car. James W. Jones, third in line, also stopped, but a fourth car, driven by William Alexander Holliday, plowed into the Jones car which plowed into the Mil ier car which, in quick order, plowed into the Hardison’s or the No. 1 car. Several of the cars were “welded” together in the crash and had to be broken loose by a wrecker. Investigating the accident involv ing the four cars, Patrolman Whit Saunders said that they were meet ing traffic, that the drivers were either blinded or they realized they could not turn out and miss the cars stopped in the highway. Damage to the cars was estimated by Patrolman Saunders, as follows: Hardison’s 1940 Tudor Ford, $50; Miller’s 1941 Plymouth, $250 to $300; Jones’s 1940 Chevrolet, $350, and Holliday’s 1940 Ford, $350.

Those listed from North Carolina in the opposition were Barden, Dough ton, Durham and Ervin. It was point ed out that many of the other con gressmen did not participate it; the vote, that the bill to provide a $600, 000,000 subsidy housing program for war veterans was defeated 161 to 92. While the congressmen in Wash ington were voting against the hous ing program, many of them at the bidding of one of the most powerful lobbies ever to hand around Wash ington, Martin County boys return ing from overseas declare that fine hotels and other buildings are being constructed for officers in foreign lands. .—-<» Nylon Supply To Be Short For While Yet In New York the other day, manu fact urns and whoii-sutectt tried to spell out the facts on hose for wo men. They were not very cheerful. The net result of all their statistics seems to be just this: in 1946, hosiery production will run only ten pairs per woman against the expected 14. This despite a super-effort by ny lon. The 1946 nylon production is expected to reach thirty million doz en pairs, some three times above that of 1941. About 90 per cent of all nylon yarn produced by DuPont is going to the hosiery industry. More over, some 171 manufacturers are making nylon stockings today who never made them before. But pro duction of rayon stockings this year will be only about a third of what it was during the war, according to the New York meeting. The shortage is the real reason for the bleak stock ing outlook for 1946. -® County Young Man Recently Discharged From the Army -$ After serving seventeen months in the Army, thirteen of the number overseas in the European theater, Garland C.
