Tin’ Martin County Triple A of
fice is working overtime this
week preparing tobacco market
ing cards for the approximately
1.500 farmers. White cards will
be placed in the mails next Mon
day and Tuesday for all those
farmers whose tobacco acreage
has been measured and no excess
plantings were found.
The approximately 230 farmers
known to have planted in excess
of their allotments will find it
necessary to call at the county
agricultural building and get
their cards. Before they call for
their cards, however, they are
asked to contact their respective
township committeeman, have
him go with them and estimate
the total poundage of their crops,
get a signed statement of the esti
mate and submit the statement
to the county agent's office. The
farmer, speaking of the one who
overplanted, may pay the penal

Approximately 1,300 farms
have beer checked in the county
to date, leaving about 300 to be

are working as hard as possible in
an effort to measure all the farms
and clear the records in time for
ovrey tobacco farmer to get his
marketing card before the mar

In the few cases where farmers
planted tobacco without any al

their acre age measured, contact
their committeeman, get an esti

and report to the agent’s office
where they will be given a red
marketing card. No one is ex

Health of The TB
Patient Is Aided
By Consideration

An IiM'i'iilivr for I’ulicnt
To fir! Will
-<$>
(I he following is one in a series
of articles prepared by the North
Carolina Tuberculosis Association
and sponsored by civic organiza
tions.—cd.)
Tile family of the tuberculosis
patient cun aid him greatly if a
sincere effort is made to under
stand his problems. In entering
j a sanatorium for treatment, the
j patient may be separated from
| home for the first time. Natural
ly, he is homesick and anxious.
| Since tuberculosis is a disease
| affecting the whole body, the pa
tient is irritable at times, perhaps
for the first time in his life. He
cannot understand his irritability,
so believes there must be some
I thing wrong with his new sur
' roundings. .He may be worried
1 about his own condition, without
being aware of this.
Such anxiety is apt to show it
self in his gi nei al attitude toward
his fellow patients, those working
about him, or his family, llis re
quests may seem unreasonable,
but to the patient they are very
important and real.
Sometimes a patient finds “an
escape” in being able to -omplain
to some one about the food, the
nurses, lj>s lack of privacy, or
the boring routine, and so he
pours out all his grievances to
members of the family when they
visit him. These may not be
pleasant topics of conversation
but if it relieves the patient, it is
thi- duty of.tlie visitor to be sym
pathetic. rITie complaints may be
will founded at times.
The patient needs to be encour
aged to get well. He needs an in
centive to follow doctor’s orders.
Only then will he cooperate with
the hospital and the staff. He
needs to want to get wi ll.
Probably never belt re in Ins
life has the patient had so much
solitude, so much time to think.
He should be helped to spend his
• ’me t >) i n k i try ■ cor.at-Hjotk* «
thoughts. After awhile, he will
be able to face his new life with
renewed hope and faith.
The fact that a patient must
rest does not mean that he cun
have no interests, lie should nut
be shut out from the world. He
should be made to feel he still
has a part in the life beyond the
hospital walls, the life to which
he will eventually return. The

Opinion Folk
Show Atomic
Doubts, Fears
-&
From Coast to Coast People
Aim! Their Mews
During Fast Year
Washington. — Public opinion
polkas have been busy, during
Atomic Year 1. asking a great
many citizens a great many ques
tions. From coast to coast people
have aired their viv-ws on the po
tentialities of atomic power and
on means for its control, have
confided their fears and revealed
the misconceptions under which
they have been laboring. Enough
answers have been analyzed by
the poll takers to allow some gen
eral conclusions about John Q.
Citizen’s state of mind at the end
of Atomic Year 1.
First of all, of course, he wants I
peace, not war. Beyond that, he
acknowledges that a profoundly
important change has come about,
but is not clear about what it's
going to mean and what lie’s go
ing to do about it.
Since the explosion over Hiro
shima he has listened to many
terrifying reports of what may
happen to him and to his city
should another war come, and he
has also grown uneasy about the
condition of the world in general.
As an example, the June survey
of the National Opinion Research
Center reported that (iti percent of
the public believe we will fight in
another war within 25 years: 75
percent thing that if this happens
atomic bombs will be used against
American cities. Sometimes John
0. Citizen decides he’d just like to
git away for a while and go fish
ing. Most often, fortunately, he
has been trying to figure a way
out.
By and large the public seems
to believe that the release of
atomic enerby has ushered in a
"new age.’ And about 50 per
cent believe in a somewhat shaky
fashlort, that tin' development of
atomic onergv for industry and
other peacetime uses will take
place within ten years. For the
most part, people concentrate
their atomic opinion on problems
having to do with war, not peace.
The polls show very decidedly
that tin’ months since Hiroshima
have been months of change in
public opinion. Since last fall an
increasing number of Americans
have become aware of the dan
gers of uncontrolled atomic weap
ons and, in the same period, more
and more people have accepted
the necessity for international
control. The Gallup poll showed
an increase of 3 percent in six
months not very large but nov
el llicli sh a gain on a highly diffi
cult subject. Despite the worry
ing stale of UN affairs during this
year, there has been a growth in
tin number of people who are op
timistic about the success of an
inti rnational control plan. This
group is now a sizable minority.
The fact remains that the ma
jority ol people have not yet come
to accept the testimony of the sci
entists and statesmen, that inter
national control of atomic energy
is the only road away from fear
and toward security. Security
through strength is an idea which
fs'ca’y to grasp’, t he idea of se
curity through cooperation, it ap
pears, comes harder.
Opinion pulls have recorded va
•>.- ye.V V.-,' ...wH*. ' ■ v1..!-.. . if.
curity: (1) refusal to accept evi
dence that the bomb is “anything
to worry about’’; (2) insistence,
despite the evidence of the ex
perts, that we can “keep the se
cret”; (3) unwillingness t» have
the United Stale relinquish “the
secret’’ in international negotia
tions; (4) the argument that the
only safety for the United States
lies in continuing to manufacture
atomic bombs.

Board Makes Conditional
Offer For Brown Property
After weeks of investigation,
Williamston's local school com
mittee this week took semi-final
action to relieve the housing
shortage for its teachers and prin
cipal. Two of the three men on
the committee voted to offer $(>,
000 for the S. S. Brown property
on North Huughton Street, the
third member merely voting pres
ent. It was explained, however,
that tlve offer was made provid
ed certain conditions can be met.
There is some doubt if possession
can be had in time to start the
school term without more inter
ruptions which have plagued the
school here for three years. It was
also pointed out that certain re
pairs are necessary, that some al
terations should be made.
The offer was also advanced
subject to final discussion and ap
proval by the members of the
county board of education. The
county board had agreed to pay
$ 15,000 of the $20,000 asked Ou
tlie K. B. Crawford property on
North Smithwick Street, but
it could not be learned how’ much,
if any. of the cost would be in
cepted by the county for the
Brown property. The purchase of
the Crawford property, including
a fairly sizable lot adjoining the
present school property, was vir
tually stopped when a heating
problt m presented itself. It was
learned this week that new equip
ment had been purchased by the
owner, but it could not be learned
if this latest development would
reopen negotiations for the prop
erty.
Principal G. B. Stewart in a
conversation with local school of
ficials this week explained that
they were about to "put him out”
of the house he occupies in Drap
er, and wanted to know if he
could move his family here at

Tobacco Harvest
About Completed
With the exception of a very
few cases, Martin County farmers
are completing the annual tobac
co harvest this week. A goodly
number finished the task last
week, and a few barned their last
•‘pullings” week before last.
The crop, said to be of medium
quality, is unusually light.
Completing the harvest early
this week, Squire J. K. Whitfield
of Oak City said he cleaned up
I and expressed the hope that no
| snake would crawl near him be
j cause he was so tiled that he did
! not want to raise a hand in his
' defense.
THE RECORD

Still waiting for the completion
of the annua! audit, the local
town corrwni sinners in their regu
lar meeting thi- week delayed
action on the new fiscal y or bud
get and limited their discussion to
a varied but uneventful calendar.
Speaking for residents in the
North llaughton Str. cl neighbor
hood, David Moore pleaded with
the commissioners for more re
cognition for the people there.
"We have been paying town taxes
for twenty years without any of
the advantages enjoyed else
where in town. We would like to
have water and sewer lines and
we badly need pavedvidewalks,”
Mr. Moore said. The voting man
was assured that water would be
made available possibly within
the next three or four weeks.
Tt ntative plans weie made short
ly before the war to lay -ewer
lines in that area and on Franklin
and several other streets near
the high school. The plans were
interrupted and costs and labor
conditions existing today are
causing f u it In r delay. The board
members declared they would
consider building sidewalks from
the freezi r locker plant on the
corner of Houghton and Grace
Streets to the town limits if the
property owners signed the neces
sary petitions.
Health Officer John W. Wil
liam; asked tin* commissioners to
paint the department headquart
ers, and the request was granted.
License for the sale of wines for
off premises consumption was
granted Kddie Watts Brown.
No definite action was taken,
but the board asked for a survey
I of the back lots with the likely in
tention of laving .1 iewer line
down the alleyway leading from
the Watts theater to Church
Street.
The treasurer udvi-ed the board
that nppi oximatelv $1,S)(M) in in

by the state revenue department,
the amount being about $255
[greater than last year's figures.
: It was also i xplaincd that the

the State for maintenance of
those streets serving highway
