So profitable is Giornale Allea to, Price says, that, althougl newsprint limitations force it tt turn down more titan half tin advertising offered, it pays tin freight for the Slovene Journal which accepts no advertising, anc still has something left over. It is going so well that Alliec Information Service (sutci ssur t< the Psychological W arfari Branch) has cut it loose from of licial subsidy and set it up as at independent operation.

The father of several children one of whom is a victim of rheu matic fever, Mr. Rawls held one iicKet'Ut a v'tiatn't,.n up proximatcly 6,500. He had retir ed for the night when a friend and relative went to the home to apprise him of his good fortune “I just can’t believe it,” he was quoted as saying. One report de clared that he was so excited that he started to leave the home with out his shoes, that while on his way to get the car he felt to see it he had put on his clothes. The farmer’s old 1927 Model A was just about worn out. All gassed up the new car was used for the first time Sunday morning to carry most of the family to Sunday school, one report stated. With an estimated crowd of ap proximately four thousand people looking on, blindfolded Miss Joan Peel, daughter of Mrs. John Peel of East. Main Street reached deep into the special ‘‘squirrel cage” containing several hundred ticket stubs and drew out one. This drawing of the lucky number was held Saturday night at 10:30 at the Lions Club's second annual Harvest Festival. Miss Peel handed this lucky stub to Clerk of Court L- Bruce Wynne, who read out the number 4-1-7-S. which was flashed over the loud speaker system as a moment of hushed anxiety prevailed. Then came the name of Claudie .Raw Is, Wil liamston Route No. 2 who was an nounced as being the winner of the new 1946 Ford tudor sedan. ■C!u h A1et} i ha *s,41 v, Mak i ? ig Ready For Fat Stock Shoio -$ i Approximately forty Marti: Cou.ity 4-II club momhi'rs, in * eluding several girls, are eagevl} making preparations to compete for prizes in the county’s fourt! annual fat stock show tentative!} . scheduled to be held the lattei - part of next April.

Sponsored by the Martin Coun ty Farm Bureau and the various civic organizations in the county, the show will offer valuable i prizes <o the winners. No one knows what the meat situation j will be next April, but it is fairly evident that a strong market will prevail at the stock show sale, j Last April most of the sales were made to retail outlets and res taurants. A large freezer locker | plant is now in operation in the county, and it is quite likely that 1 individuals will compete in the | sales and make for a strong mar 1 ket. I t CHICKENS There's a beef and pork shortage but people in this section are taking steps to head off hunger by raiding the poultry yards. A report from the local freezer locker plant states that over 400 chickens were killed, cleaned and packed in private lockers there last Thursday. Opera tions were delayed until that afternoon and the plant miss ed its 1,000 capacity for the day. Thursday of this week will be chicken day at the plant again. Beef is being placed in the plant in reasonable quantities and a few hogs arc being stor ed. There is a possibility that some ill the storerooms will be filled w ithin a few' days.

Proper Diet \ ital But ft Is No Cure For Tuberculosis —— Man\ \ii'<«>ii(c|i|iun» (itm crriiiii^ \\ Imi ill Pa tient SiionM Eat I (The following is one in a series of articles prepared by the North Carolina Tuberculosis Assbciation and sponsored by civic organiza tions.—ed.) There are so many supersti tions and misconceptions about tuberculosis that the facts about tins dia use cannot be repeated too frequently if people are to it im a right attitude about the disease, its control and its treat ment. Many false notions center around the diet of tuberculosis patients. That may be because people, on the whole, are apt to get “food fads” from time to time and to try to win others over to i their ways of eating. Then, too, food assume. - a particularly im j portant part in the life of the TB patient who must spend weeks 1 in bed. I Both patients and their fami 1 should ignori ail the well-mean-j ling suggestions made by friends I about food which “cures” TB. There is no foot! that “euro >” TB. A diet high in caloric value and in vitamins is important in the luatmenl of the tuberculosis pa tient because it builds up the strength he needs for his body to fight the disease. His physician will recommend such a diet and jthe dietician in the hospital will plan meals which provide the ne cessary calorics and vitamins. There are still people who think the TB patient should di ink a much nmk as he can hold during the course of a day. However, if he docs this he will not be able to eat other foods which he should agreed that a quart of milk a day is sufficient for the TB patient. Eggs should be included in the diet, but that does not me an, as some people still believe, that raw eggs must be swallowed in quan tities. Cooked eggs for breakfast, with the addition of such egg dishes as custards from time to time, should be sufficient, par ticularly if other proteins such « cheese, fish and meat are avail able. Another popular misconc! ; tion is that condiments are injurious to the TB patient. However, salt and pepper and other seasonings in reasonable amounts will not harm the patient. Of course, the TB patient, like other p< ople, may have some other condition which v ill be aggravated by the misuse of seasonings. If this is true, his doctor will so advise him. Nor is there anything harmful, per se, in tea or coffee for the pa tient. If he thinks these drinks stimulate him too much in the evening, then he might omit them from his evening meal but he may drink tea or coffee in the morn ing if he likes—and as he like.-, with sugar, cream, milk or lemon. The use of alcoholic beverages, however, should be avoided. They do not help the patient. The doc tor's advice should be followed on whether an occasional alcoholic drink would be harmful. \ijpi!»(*!*<»; Trials | Detailed In Books ! Printed Bn U. S. -,t W hole W orld \\ ili U,< U,!r SO Riv.il l ads Vltoul Tilt1 \a/i ('rimes Even as the twenty odd top Nazi leaders, who stood as de fendants before the four power military tribunal at Nurnberg, await the verdict of that court, the great presses of the United States Government Printing Office at ! Washington are already impress ing their words and the evidence of their probably guilt in perma nent volumes for all the world to see. The mass of documentary evi dence collected by the American and British prosecuting staffs in cluding the material relative to the trial, fills eight volumes which are to be made available to the general public for $18 per set through the superintendent of documents. Government Printing Office. Washington, D. C. Goosing and Hess, von Papon, von Ribbentrop, Schacht and the others, wrote letters and notes on their conferences in their work of en.-laving the continent of Europe. Now the letters and notes, taken fr. m captured Nazi files, will be available in English translation for all to read and ponder over the coldness, the hardness, the brutality which these Nazi con spirators u: od to gain their ends. Two volumi s of the eight vol ume .ft have already been print ed and bound. Contained in these volumes are documents relating to the treatment of prisoners, the use t>t enforced labor, the battle of the Warsaw Ghetto, the en slovoiTient of Austria, Czechoslo vakia and Poland, and the work of Hiilei's propaganda machine. IK re are iot the words of foreign obso 'vi rs but the actual words and thought- and attitudes of the Gi i mail leaders; themselves and the - ganCations through which they worked. These messages and papers h. ave no doubt of the pro bable guilt of those on trial at Nurnberg. Thise volumes begin with the setting up of the International Military Tribunal, the indictments against the top Nazis and their organizations, the means used by tin conspirators to gain control of the German state, the embark ing upon the wars of aggression, the specific ci iminal acts perform ed, and a setting forth of the indi cated individual responsibility of I’li defendants. Then comes the weight of i vidence in the form of j documents, niessagt. , copies of sped tie .personal and official lct tcinobs of conferences, and drafts of statutes and laws—all authentic translations which all Americans may read. The publication of these vol ume- on “'Na/i Conspiracy and Aggression” i- of historical sig nificance. Nurnberg was the first lull rnatiunal Military Tribunal of its kind. Euily in World War 11 it was agreed that this time the leaders, who through their con spiracy ami aggression brought on ilie world r inflii l would not mi a.- in World Vvavr 1 but would -land trial and pay for their crimes. These printed volume will preserve the fruition of that agreement. Contemporary writers of history will have the documents and records available to them rather than tucked away in the archives of one particular nation, accessible to only a few.

Native Of Countv Jailed On False Pretense Charge ^ O Jaiuo* floury Jackson Ad« mils* Flooring (loloml Hoys Friday James Henry Jackson, a native of this county, is being held in the county jail for allegedly fleecing Mayo and Henry Land, colored brothers, of a rifle, watch and small sums of money last Friday. His arrest by Officer Chas. R. Moore of the local police foVce was the third in recent years on similar charges, the man ad mitted. Meeting the two Land brothers on a taxi, Jackson who gave his age at 67 years but who appears to be no more than 45, soon gain ed their confidence. He learned that one was worried or ‘‘troubl ed” over a love affair and that the other was on the “sick list.” "I'm the very man you need,” Jackson was quoted as saying. He premised them sure relief, ex plaining that he could clear up the love triangle and get the other brother off the sick list in one hour flat. Mayo Land advanced $5 in cash and a watch and Henry Land offered $3 cash and a rifle in advance for the man’s services. When Jackson did not show up as promised, the boys came to town from their home a short dis tance out on the McCaskey Road and they spotted him boarding a Inis for Norfolk. Police were noti fied just in time to stop the bus in front of the police station. Ask ed What he was doing with the rifle, Jackson stated that he came down from Norfolk to do a little hunting. No other questions were asked and Jackson was removed from the bus and questioned. Moving from this county to Farmville some years ago, Jack son was sentenced to the roads for six months in this county back in 1939 for allegedly obtaining money under false pretense. He drew a two to three-year road sentence in 1943 for a similar of li use in another county. He had $61 m cash on his person when ar rested and could not raise a $100 cash bond. Jackson is the fourth man ar rested in this section during re cent months for trying to get money the easy way. Two of the other three jumped their $200 rash bonds and have not been heard Horn since they were re leased. Man Fined $25 In Court This Week -$) Failing to answer when he was called for jury service in the Mar tin County Superior Court Mon day morning, Agriculturist W Harrell Everett was fined $25 by Judge W. II. S. Burgwyn. Stroll ing into the old hall of justice a few minutes later, the farmer ex plained that he was unloading some tobacco, that his watch was a few minutes slow. Judge Bur gwyn accented the excuse anti lifted the fine. The presiding officer means business when it comes to calling jurors and excuses have to carry real weight. Hi nnie Baldree took leave when he pressed his claim to ex emption because he was a volun teer fireman. Willie R. Glover was excused after the jurist weighed his claim a few minutes, the juror explain ing that he was badly needed in ihe construction of rural electric lines. Noan R. Peel, one of his ribs broken in a fall last Saturday, ivas excused, end C. O. Edwards ivas excused on the strength of a lector's cerlificate. Calling two Druthers from the same business, the court excused S. E.

B. Saunders against H. A. Bowen. When the case was tentatively fixed for trial, it was explained by the plaintiff’s attor neys, Martin and Griffin, that a greater part of today and possibly a part of tomorrow would be spent in hearing the case. Action was taken in about five cases Monday, but in most of them it was a delaying action as far as actual settlement is concerned. A divorce, based on two years’ separation was granted Willie Combs in his case against Mary Ella Combs. One other divorce was originally scheduled for trial today, and il is possible that sev eral of those continued: last, week will be sandwiched into the pro ceedings. The suit brought by the Univer sal Finance Company against Steve R.
