800 Persons

Approximately 800 stockhold
ers, patrons and friends of the
Martin County Farmers Coopera
tive Exchange held their annual
meeting at the high school here
last Thursday afternoon, the un
usually large but most orderly
group enjoying various contests,
prize drawings, a big barbecue
supper and a timely and forceful
speech.
The program got under way
about 4:30 that afternoon when a
goodly number volunteered to
participate in the various con
tests. Wining the horse shoe
pitching contest, Herman Dicker
son, RFD 1, Jamesville, was given
a set of horse shoes and stakes
and a free trip to Raleigh where
he will compete in the state tour
nament on September 24. James
Gardner, RFD 1, Williamston,
holding a close second position in
the contest score, received a water
bag.
A rolling pin throwing contest
proved that most of the house
wives in this section are just
mediocre “chunkers,” that all this
talk about the effective use of
rolling pins on husbands’ heads is
without foundation. However, the
practice is not altogether a lost
art. A few landed direct blows
on the contest target, but the
prize, fruit jars and canning set,
was won by Mrs. R. L. Bray of
Belcross, Camden County. This
contest attracted much attention
from most'of the men, but the
husbands of the contestants had
serious looks on their faces until
the target was missed.
The outdoor contests concluded,
the large crowd moved into the
auditorium, almost overflowing
the large room.
Mr. V. G. Taylor of Everetts
was made chairman of the meet
ing which was opened there by a
song and prayer. A. M. Fussell,
manager of the local store, wel
group andh^caslatur
^m^misecretary.
Mi- H. C F'1 rebec of Camden
sent this district on the State FCX
Board of Directors, and Messrs.
V. G. Taylor of Everetts, G. A.
Oglesby of Hamilton. J. H. Lillard
of Oak City, W. M. Hardison. RFD
3. Williamston. and T. R. Slade of
flnnflnfnifTOruii.y FCX ser
vice for the coming year.
In one of the first contests held
in the auditorium, Mrs. Floyd
Matthews of Hertford was award
ed a $5 bill for guessing within
$1,000 the amount of business
handled by the local store last
year. Mrs. L. P. Holliday, RFD 1,
Jamesville, was awarded a box of
candy. The award was based on
age, Mrs. Holliday, 76 years old,
being the oldest mother present.
Quite a few offered guesses on
the number of pennies in a jar,
but Mrs. Perlie Lilley, RFD 1,
Williamston, with a guess of 613
won the prize, a milk churn.
There were 612 pennies in the jar.
Following General Manager M.
G. Mann’s address, tickets were
drawn. Albert Tyre, RFD 1, Wil
liamston, receiving a table model
radio, and J. H. Coltrain, RFD 1,
Robersonville, receiving a pres
sure cooker.
The Martin FCX Service was
made available to the people of
this section on January 26. 1935,
about six months after the organi
zation was first created in the
State. From an humble begin
ning, it has enjoyed a steady
growth, reports showing that the
store handled a $136,042 business
last year, boosting its volume
since its establishment to $825,621.
Its net worth is now placed at
$20,601.66, and while it has rend
ered an able service, its future is
extremely bright in this area and
expansion is to be expected.

i Higher Attendance Figures \
| Urged In County Schools j
As an important part of an in
tensive drive to improve the
schools in this county, education
leaders stated this week that
every effort would be made to
hold average daily attendance fig
ures to a high peak during the
term opening on Monday of this
week. Violations of the compul
sory attendance law will be
checked and where necessary the
defendants will be carried into
the courts, it was declared.
Last year several cases were
cited to the courts in this county
and convictions followed. At
tendance figures improved during
the remainder of the term, but
they did not measure up to the
best expectations. “We do not
wish to prosecute anyone, but we '
consider it of vital importance for
every child in this county to at- J
tend school regularly and, if nec- j
essary, we will resort to the i
courts in behalf of the child's wel
fare. ' .an official was quoted as
saying this week. The coopera
tion of all parents and patrons is
earnestly sought in the movement
to hold attendance figures to the
highest level ever reported in the
schools.
The law requires all children
between the ages of six and six
teen years of age to attend school
regularly, provided the child be
comes six years of age on or be
fore next October 1.
Last year, 258 children—125
white and 133 colored.—quit
school between the fifth and elev
enth grades, inclusive, in this
county. In addition to that shock
ing number, there were quite a
few girls and boys who never
entered school during the term.
Every effort will be made to cor
rect what appears to be a deplor
able condition.

While the condition is pos

September 4tli

Recognizing crowded conditions
in redrying plants and tobacco
factories and observing a general
decline in prices for many types,
a special flue-cured tobacco mar
keting committee last week-end
ordered sales suspended for one
week on all markets in the Bright
and Border Belts and delayed
opening dates for markets in
other section.:. The holiday will
go into effect at the close of sales
on Wednesday of this week and
on Thursday morning, September
Awiniing tu^¥pmTs* reaching
here, Fred S. Royster, chairman
of the committee, declared that
the holiday was ordered in an ef
fort to bolster sagging prices in
the two belts and to clear up
near-critical conditions in many
The markets in this belt will re
open with the same selling sched
ule now in effect but a reduction
in the selling hours from five to
four ea'-h day is exnocicd within
a short time after the reopening.
During tlie meantime, farmers are
being asked to make plans for
the orderly marketing of the
crop, the committee members
pointing out that orderly market
ing would be in the best interest
of farmers, buyers, and ware
housemen. They appealed for the
full cooperation of all concerned.
It was fairly apparent that sag
ging prices prompted the sudden
action, and it is believed that
plans will be formulated to throw
the full support of the Flue-Cured
Tobacco Cooperative Stabilization
Corporation “ "TbiehThd" the price
schedule and check the price de
crease noted from day to day
since the markets opened on Mon
day of last week in this belt. It is
possible that the plan will help
-eturn prices to tile level report
ed on opening day, especially
those offered for the inferior
grades.
It was pointed out that about
forty farmers joined the corpora*
ion last Friday on the Williams
m market, and it is likely that
others will join in large numbers
f the prices continue to sag.
There is little or no red tape to
he plan, warehousemen point
cut. If a farmer offers a pile of
:obaceo for sale, and the price is
lot up to parity as shown on the
lack of the government grade
sheet, the farmer may join the or
ganization by paying a $5 fee and
share in the government’s price
support program. If the pile of
tobacco is sold for fifteen cents a
pound and the 90 percent of pari
ty or “advance” price is 25 cents
a pound, then the farmer is en
titled to the ten-cent differential
if he is a member of the organiza
tion. Payment is made gt the
time of sale. The government

After sagging to the lowest lev

bacco prices on the local market
showed considerable strength
yesterday, observers declaring
that the average for the day
would range well over $50 per

or $53 for the entire sale. It was
pointed out that the medium
grades had regained possibly all
their losses and were averaging
around 10 cents a pound higher
than they did the latter part of
last week.
While the top grades still rang
ed around 65 cents a pound, a few'
were taken by the buying com
panies at 67 cents Monday. Pos
sibly the poor or nondescript
types were some stronger, too.

went for less than ten cents and
that less than half dozen farmers

grades.
Approximately 300,060 pounds
were on the floors, but official
poundage and price figures could
not be had late Monday.
Tobacco is moving in fairly
rapidly for the sales scheduled
for the remaining days before the
holiday goes into effect at the
close of sales Wednesday after
noon. The first and second sales
were just about filled for Tues
day Monday afternoon, and farm
ers were making plans at that
time for deliveries Tuesday for
the sale on Wednesday.
Including Tuesday’s sales the
market has sold within about 10p,

Review Of Effect
Air Power Had In
European Area
Excerpts Taken From Re
port of Commander To
His Chiefs of Staff
The following are some perti
nent excerpts on air power taken
from the report of the Supreme
Commander to the combined
ehiefs of staff on the operations in
Europe of the Allied Expedition
ary Force, just publicly released a
short time ago:
1. "As part of our basic strategy,
and in accordance with the task
given to the Strategic Air Force
under the Casablanca Directive
in January 1943, the bombing of
Germany, begun early in the war
by the British Bomber Command,
was intensified in May 1943 and
continued with mounting strength
to the end of the campaign. Neith
er tire contemplated invasion of
Europe nor the direct attack on
the German industrial and eco
nomic system would be feasible
until we had achieved supremacy
over the German Air Force. This
struggle for air supremacy, which
had been going on throughout the
war, was given added impetus by
a new directive (known as Point
Blank in January 1943 which aim
ed at subjugating the enemy air
force by the spring of 1944. In
the event, German air might was
thoroughly dominated by D-day
and we were fife to apply the im
mense strength of the Allied Air
forces in the manner we wished
and to launch the invasion confi
dortt that our plans could not be
seriously upset by the German air
force. In addition, air bombard
ment had disrupted the German
communications system, immeas
urably aiding our ground forces
by impeding enemy movements.”
2. “Prior to my arrival in the
Theater, the Combined Chiefs of
Staff hud approved a combined
bomber offensive plan against
Germany which included the stra
tegic bombing of critical* indus
trial and military targets in the
Reich. It had been determined
that Germany’s vulnerability lay
terns indispensable to the Ger
,_ _
craft, ball bearings, oil, ruboer,
and communications. Of these six
targets, aircraft, oil, and com
munications became the three
which were to occupy the con
tinuing attention of the Strategic
Air Forces throughout the war,
targets were to assist materially
in weakening the enemy’s po
tentiality to resist our offensives
and immeasurably to aid our
ground forces in their advances.”
.5. “This mastery ot the air was
maintained1 throughout 1944 and
1945 by continuing attacks against
production centers. But the ene
my was able, through factory re
construction and dispersal, to
gether witli the development of
jet aircraft, to maintain into 1945
a fighter force of a theoretical
strength by no means negligible.
Nevertheless, it still was not
qualitatively good and proved in
competent to perform successfully
for any substantial period any of
:he normal missions of an air
force. . . : ” ■ ■-‘•mm
4 “In addition to iho strategic
rombing of oil, aircraft, and com
nunications targets, we were,
luring the campaign, to call upon
he Strategic Air Forces for lac
teal support. At the time of the
rreakthrough in Normandy and
several times later, including the
3attic of the Ardennes, strategic
combers were employed in
itrength to attack enemy posi
ions, supply bases immediately
aipporting the enemy front, and
itrongpoints and communication
■enters within the battle area. In
hese instances of tactical assist
ince, the Strategic Air Forces aid
id immeasurably in turning the
lecision of battle in our fav
ir. . . .”
5. ‘‘While our assault forces
vere tossing on the dark waters
if the Channel en route for
■'ranee, the night bombers which
vere to herald our approach pass
'd overhead. Shortly after mid
nght the bombing commenced,
ind by dawn 1,136 aircraft of RAF
3omber Command had dropped
1,853 tons of bombs on 10 select
id coastal batteries lining the Bay
if the Seine between Cherbourg
ind Lellavre. As the day broke,

Special Meeting Of Farm \
Bureau To Be Held Friday j
Holding a special meeting in the
county courthouse Friday evening
of this v.eek at 8 00 o'clock Farm
Bureau leaders will lead a discus
sion of the government's tobacco
support price plan advanced
through the Flue-Cured Coopera
tive Stabilization corporation.
Plans will also be mapped for ad
vancing the 1946-47 membership
campaign for the Farm Bureau,
President Chas. L. Daniel an
nounced Monday morning.
President Daniel attended a re
cent meeting where the price
stabilization plan was fully ex
plained and discussed, and he is
in a position to outline the pro
gram in detail in the event a rep
resentative of the organization
finds it impossible to attend. Mr.
Daniel, discussing the plan brief
ly, explained that the price sup
port program applies to a farm
er’s crop by grades. If one grade
sells above the guaranteed price
it is untouched by the corpora
tion. If another grad" f-ti- belov
the average, then that grade can
be turned over to the corporation.
The plan applies to all grades
where necessary, but the corpora
tion cannot accept wet or dam
aged tobacco, it was explained.
These and other facts will be ex
plained at the meeting by the
president who pointed out that
the Farm Bureau with the help
of other organizations had done
much to have the program estab
lished. It can mean millions of
dollars to tobacco farmers, es
pecially to those whose crops do
not measure up in quality as a re
sult of heavy rains during the
growing season.
Appealing for a strong mem
bership in support of the work
done by the Farm Bureau, Presi
dent Daniel believes over 2,000
Martin farmers will rally behind
the organization for the year
1946-47.

planned to get as many children
as possible off the school grounds
before the busses arrived. The
high school will be dismissed at
3:10 each afternoon. On rainy
days, Principal Stewart said that
parents calling for their children

Federal Plan To
Medical Program
I*i\ Frank Graham Speaks
At Farm-Home Week
In Raleigli
Addressing the opening session
of the 30th annual North Carolina
Farm and Home Week at State
College laj|L week. President
Frank P. C frail am of the consoli
dated University of North Caro
lina emphasized the "primary
meaning of the Medical Care and
Hospital Program for the rural
people” of this State.
“The proponents of this state
program,” he said, “have been the
most active in advocating the pas
sage of the Hill-Burton Bill which
recently became law with the sig
nature of President Truman.
“This Federal act provides fed
eral aid to states and localities for
building hospitals in reach of rur
al people and fits in admirably
with the North Carolina program
on a three-way basis of financial
cooperation between the nation,
the state and locality with local
autonomy preserved.”
President Graham said the
North Carolina program is ac
knowledged throughout the na
tion to be the best now proposed
by any state. "North Carolina,
now at the bottom in hospital and
medical facilities, plans to move
up toward the front in medical
and hospital care.”
I resident Graham explained
that the North Carolina plan is a
six point program with two main
objectives:
' 1- To provide more hospitals
and rural health centers, and 2.
To train in North Carolina moje
doctors, nurses and medical tech
nicians for those hospitals and
centers.

On these two pillars,” he said,
‘ the program stands or falls to

di inline either pillar are strik

ignostic facilities strategically

“A few opponents of this total

jraham said. "This six-point
irogram for providing more hos
pitals and diagnostic facilities and
or training more doctors and
