Review Of Effect
Air Power Had In
European Area
--
Excerpts Taken From Re
port of Commander To
His Chiefs of Staff
-m
(Additional excerpts from the
report of the supreme commander
to the Chiefs of Staff, presented
below, continue the description of
air power’s role in the victory in
Europe.—Ed.)
“The heavy bomber attacks
achieved their object and made
the closer-range attacks against
road movements all the more ef
fective in helping to strangle von
Rundstedt’s efforts. Thorughout
the period the Strategic Air
Forces battered marshalling yards
east of the Rhine and blocked cen
ters of movement such as St.-Vith,
while the medium and light
bombers of the Tactical Air
Forces destroyed bridges, head
quarters dumps .and other targets
in the battle area. The fighter
bombers ranged far and wide in
and beyond the battle area cre
ating havoc in enemy road and
rail movement, their efficacy in
starving the enemy of fuel, food,
and ammunition being amply tes
tified to by prisoners. A concert
ed attack on the German Air
Force airfields on 24 December
helped to reduce the activity of
the enemy fighters and thus af
forded our fighter-bombers still
greater opportunity for concen
tration on ground targets rather
than on air fighting, which had
up to this time been as intense as
any the enemy had proved cap
able of offering since D-day . . .”
10. “In connection with the Al
lied air activities during the early
months of 1945, the operation
known as Clarion, carried out on
22 February, is worthy of special
mention. Nearly 9,000 aircraft,
from bases in England, France,
Holland. Belgium and Italy, took
part in this gigantic onsiaugnt,
which involved targets covering
an area of a quarter of a million
square miles, extending from Em
den to Berlin, Dresden, Vienna,
and Mulhouse. The aim was to
attack incidental communications
facilities, such as railroad signal
points and grade crossings, canal
locks, and junctions, in order to
experienced in keeping open the
German life lines. It had been
found by experience that such
local attacks, complementary to
large ones, had far-reaching ef
fects in slowing down enemy
movemnet, and it was hoped that
Clarion would spread the paraly
sis throughout Germany. It was
a bold scheme, demanding great
skill and daring on the part of all
involved. Confounded by the
widespread nature of the blow,
the enemy’s attempts at defense
were completely ineffective. . .
11. “The German communica
tions network running west of the
intersection line toward the Rhine
was also heavily attacked from
the air during the weeks preced
ing the assault across the river.
A very important operation com
prised blows delivered by Bomber
Command on 11 and 12 March.
On the 11th a record was. estab
lished for the loud of bombs drop
ped on a single target in one raid
when 1,079 heavy bombers rained
some 5,000 tons on the Essen rail
center. The record was surpass
ed on the 12th when 1,108 heavies
dropped 5,487 tons on Dortmund.
These communications attacks
were energentically supported by
fighters and fighter-bombers of
the RAF Second Tactical Air
Force and the U. S. XXIX Tacti
cal Air Command. The resulting
chaos was such as to prove far be
yond the powers of the Reichs
bahn repair organization to re
medy, depsite its immense efforts
to keep the lines open. . .

of the excellent work performed,
in preparation for the ground as

Since Stores Open
--
Sales Last Quarter Are
$52,817 Larger Than
One Year Ago
Legal liquor sales, pushing to
ward the three-million-dollar
mark, continue to show increases
over previous records, the gross
income in the four Martin County
stores during the second quarter
of this year exceeding those for
the corresponding period in 1945
by $52,817.40. Only in three other
three-month periods were greater
sales reported, the liquor business
apparently having reached a peak
in the last three months of 1945
when sales climbed to $217,671.65.
Despite shortages and alleged
inferior quality, liquor was in
great demand during the three
months ending last June 30. The
four stores reported sales in the
amount of $155,624.20 to establish
an all-time record for that period
of the year. While they were over
$50,000 in excess of those reported
just a year ago, the sales last
quarter were $134,040.15 larger
1 than they were in the months of
April, May and Juno, ten years

New Drug Offers
Hay Fever V ictim
Hope For Relief
\hiIi^11hu Fffeelive Tn Wos!
rases of Hay Frver Re
gardless of Cause
(The following is one in a series
of articles prepared by the North
Carolina Tuberculosis Association
and sponsored by civic organiza
tions.—ed.)
About five million Americans
have taken new hope over the
prospect of a cure for their com
mon ailment—hay fever. These
and other members of the hand
kerchief brigade whose allergies
to pollen, dusts and foods cause
them to suffer from hay fever,
hive s, eczema and certain kinds of
asthma have found little relief in
treatment—up to now. Treat
ments that wi re available were
uncertain, inconvenient, expen
sive.
But allergy sufferers are apt to
have one trait in common—they
will try anything to relieve them
of the sneezes, the burning throat,
the running nose, the weeping
eyes or whatever symptoms their
own peculiar allergy chooses.
The promised relief lies in a
new drug called anthallan. Care
! ful tests indicate that anthallan
is effective in most allergy cases
j regardless of cause. The drug is
I easy for the doctor to administer
] and is said to be entirely safe in
| reasonable doses.
The cause of most hay fever
I sufferers’ misery is ragweed—a
| plant that seems to thrive in many
'sections of the country with no
encouragement whatever. Its
I pollen floats in the air almost
everywhere from the middle of
August until frost comes.
The annoying symtoms of hay
fever result from the sensitive
ness of the mueuous membranes
of the eyes, nose and upper re
spiratory tract to this pollen. Be
sides tiie well known and uncon
trollable sneeze, itching, redness
and swelling of the eyes and nose
result from this sensitiveness.
Unfortunately, hay fever vic
tims can be sensitive to more than
one substance. Sometimes hay
fever is complicated try sinusitis
! or asthma. Nor is all hay fever
confined to the fall months. What

I may occur at any time and can
be duo to an allergy to any one
or mo.e of a long list of things
including milk, eggs, house dust
or your wife’s dandruff.
Should anthallan prove to be
the long-sought cure for hay fev
er it will relieve an increasing
army of sufferers of what is said
to be man’s most common ail

New Sugar Stamp
Declared Valid
Sparc Stamp No. 4!). good for
five pounds of sugar and schedul
ed to expire last Saturday night,
continues good throughout Sep
tember because of the shortage of
sugar in some areas due to mal
distribution, OPA District Direc
tor Theodore S. Johnson explain
ed in Raleigh today.
At the same time, he announced
that Spare Stamp No. 51 became
valid last Sunday, also for five
pounds, in line with the regular
ration pattern followed for the
past several months. This stamp
continues good for the balance of
this year, he said, adding that un
certainty about the extent of the
coming Cuban crop makes it im
possible to increase the present
sugar ration.
Johnson also announced that
OPA District Offices now have
authority to close the ration bank
accounts of wholesalers and re
tailers who overdraw their sugar
accounts and thus temporarily ob
tain more than their fair share of
this scarce commodity. This clos
ing of a seller's ration hank ac
count. will not prevent OPA from
taking necessary enforcement ac
tion against any violator of ration
regulations, Johnson said.

Tobacco Sales Are Resumed;
Report Stronger Price Trend
Thousands Of Dollars In
Excess Penalties Collected
-A.
More than $12,000 in penalties
placed on excess tobacco plant
ings have been collected in this
county so far from farmers mar
keting their 1946 crop, it was
learned from the office of the
county agent this week. The pen
alties range from a few dollars
to as much as $578 on individual
farms, and where combined op
erations were figured, the penalty
ranged right up to $1,000 in one
case.
Approximately 167 of the near
ly 1.500 farms in the county had
excess acreage, it was learned.
Nearly fifty marketing cards are
yet to be delivered, the office ex
plaining that in most of those cas
es the pena'ties are yet to be col
lected. The penalty collections,
based on an excess of 121,760
pounds, are estimated and are
subject to correction when the
excess planters have sold all of
their crop.
It was pointed out by the office
that none of those planting in ex
cess had complained about paying
' the penalty. Most of the growers
I with excess acreage elected to pay
[the estimated penalty in its en
tirety. Less than half a dozen
chose the red marketing card
I which calls for the payment of
j the penalty when the tobacco is
: sold.
While the figures would seem
I to indicate that the county plant
l ed in excess of its over-all allot
! ment, the agent’s office explained
that quite a few farmers did not
plant their full allotment, that
j each would just about offset the
other.
A reduction of around 14 per
j cent has been mentioned as a pos
I sibility for the 1947 crop, and a
[ new penalty schedule s being ad
I vanced.
Capetown Citizen
Thrilled By U. S.
“Wo could never quite under
stand the altitude of the Ameri
j cans who came to Capetown,” re
marked Miss Helen Godfrey of
Capetown, South Africa, during a
I brief call on friends here recently.
“They exhibited endless con
fidence in themselves and what
we thought was exaggerated
pride in their country.”
Bu1 having come to America to
undergo an operation which was
dangerous and expensive, she re
mained for a while to see some
thing of the country aside from
New York where the operation
was done.
"To say that 1 am impressed
with the greatness that is Ameri
ca and with the vastness of it, is to
put it mildly," she said. "For my
part I can understand now why
there was never an expression of
I States to make their home in any
?,tiier part of the world. Their
pride and self-assurance is well
supported by what the traveler
finds here."
Miss Godfrey, who has two
brothers who are active in the
business affairs of Capetown, is
especially fond of the south. The
hospitality of the southern people
amazed her. She had spent every
spare hour while in the north and
cast set ing the sights and visiting
places and tilings of importance
and had not expected to see the
rest of the country. Her family
urged her to stay a little longer
to give the operation a chance to
heal thoroughly and undergo tests
so she came south. She stopped
by the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lee
Reynolds on her way to see the
old church at Bath.
“The English came to Capetown
and always they were impressed
with the large country we had
and the contrast it offered to the
tight little British isles,” she said.
“People from other countries told
us how much they would like
to be able to settle down around
Capetown. But never a single
American thought any place com
parable to the U. S. A."
To keep her appointment in
New York, something it some
times takes years to get, Miss
Godfrey came over on an Ameri
can transport Accommodations
were none too good, she said, but
blamed much of this on some of
the passengers. The American
medical man proved unusually
courteous and considerate when
she turned an ankle during the
voyage.
Freezer Locker Here
Note Nearing Completion
The fiFezer locker plant., under
const ruction here for months, is
almost, ready, for operation, it was
i unofficially learned today.
Equipment, delayed in ship
ment for months, was delivered
last week-end and workers are
installing it. this week. The elec
tricians are expected to wire it
next week, removing the last ob
stacle for the opening which will
be announced soon.
A lew remaining lockers are
being placed on sale tin* week.
INCREASE
J
According' to unofficial re
ports heard here this week,
a general increase of 15 per
cent In building material
costs is to be expected within
a short time. No details on
the proposed price increase
could be had, but observers
expressed the opinion that
much contemplated construc
tion by those earning nominal
salaries would be abandoned.
It was also pointed out that a
general price rise will hardly
increase the supply of build
materials.
Few Cases Heard
I In Mayor s Court
After handling fairly heavy
dockets for several weeks, Justice
'Ik jxir&ided a^sJaick
ening in his court activities this
wei'k. Only three defendants
were carried before him, but one
was booked on two counts.
Hubert Cherry, drunk and dis
orderly, was fined $5 and taxed
with $7.50 costs.
Dave Purvis, Jr., charged with
assaulting Clara Louise Williams,
was bound over to the county
court under bond in the sum of
$100. In a second case, Purvis was
charged with assaulting Blanche
Brown, and the arresting officer,
Chas. R. Moore. He was placed
under bond in the sum of $100.
Williams Jones, charged with
being drunk and disorderly, was
fined $5 and required to pay $9.50
costs.
Funeral Held For
Leland Barrett
Funeral services were conduct
ed in a Norfolk funeral home last
Sunday afternoon for Leland Bar
rett, 49, who died suddenly at his
home, 1129 Lilac Avenue, in the
Virginia city last Friday. Burial
was in Ilillcrest Cemetery in Suf

Swarm Of Locusts
Reported Locally
Swarms of locusts were report
ed to have ascended on the town
this week. Mrs. J. D. Thrower,
walking in her yard, saw so many
shells that she ntade a count and
within a few minutes she had
156.
Turning to a pear tree in the
yard, Mrs. Thrower picked a
goodly number ot large pears and
then broke a few limbs crowded
with blossoms from the same
tree.

Two-Day Block On Market
And Tobacco Continues
To Pour In
Reopening following a one
j week declared holiday, the local
tobacco market Thursday report
ed a stronger price trend for a
number of grades and a general
price average several cents high
er than the one recorded on Wed
nesday of last week when sales
were suspended to help relieve
congestion in the tobacco fac
tories and redrying plants.
According to conservative esti
mates, the Wilhamston market
Thursday sold some over 300,000
pounds for an unofficial average
of $52.00 per hundred. Observ
ers were of the opinion that the
quality of the leaf was better
Thursday than that reported
when the markets closed for the
one-week holiday on Wednesday
of last week. However, there
were many tipvs fitting into those
grades for which there is appar
ently no big demand. A conser
vative buyer during the first
eight days of the current season,
the Export Company pushed for
ward Thursday and made fairly
heavy purchases, offering strong
competition for some grades.
The Flue-Cured Tobacco Stab
ilization Corporation was also in
operation here Thursday, and ils
activities apparently had some ef
fect in stabilizing the price aver
age. Several farmers joined the
organization Thursday, it was
| learned.
A small crowd compared with
the one present on August 2«)
when the fiisl sales were held
attended the second opening here
Thursday.
Cooler weather apparently put
more vigor in the business and
J there was more pep in the selling
I and buying corps personnel.
I Willi
tors of a million pounds on the
market at noon Thursday, farm
ers continued to make deliveries.
The market, at that time, was
blocked for the last two selling
days of this week and indications
at that time pointed to block sales
next week, a greater part of the
sale scheduled for next Monday
having been filled.
Observers are of the opinion
that the near-record or record de
liveries and sales would cause a
second glut in the factories and
that another holiday would have
to be declared within a short
time, possibly a week or ten days.
Unofficial reports state that some
of the redrying plants had not
been able to clear the glut dur
ing the week holiday, ending
Wednesday.
Stepping in to help maintain
orderly marketing conditions and
head off a price drop, govern
ment represeptatives were in the
*iarket Thursday checking the
selling schedule. Everything was
found in order, and the sales re
cord shows that the local market
has been adhering to the rules
and regulations advanced in be
half of orderly marketing
Clearing IIur gi eater part of two
warehouse floors Thursday, the
local market is in a position to re
ceive over half million pounds
between now and Monday for sale
Tuesday and Wednesday, it was
learned.
