Launch Infantile
lit Martin County!
.——s
Chairman L. B. Wynne
Calls Upon People To
Support Campaign
Looking to the school folks for
help and appealing to the genera!
public for liberal support, Chair
man L. Bruce Wynne is launching
the 1947 infantile paralysis fund
drive in the county this week.
Asked to raise $2,120 this year,
the chairman is appealing to 400
of the leading citizens by direct
mail, urging them and others to
reply promptly and after a willing
and liberal fashion. Twelve coin
collectors are being “planted” in
Williamston and Robersonville.
Special collections will be taken
in the several county theaters.
And much dependence for support
is being placed in school leaders
and pupils, both white and color
ed.
The drive follows closely the
TB seal sale, runs almost paral
lel with the drive for a veterans’
memorial and precedes by a few
weeks the Red Cross campaign.
But the paralysis fund drive must
meet with success, the chairman
explains. Last year over $2,200
was spent for the treatment of
two polio victims and for the care
of four post polio cases. The fund
in the county is over drawn, but
the treasurer, Mr. Clyde Griffin,
pulled $100 out of his own pocket
to make certain that the one pa
tient remaining in the hospital
would receive every possible at
tention without interruption. No
one knows who’ll be the next vic
tim, but regardless of who it is
and irrespective of race or creed,
the county fund should be ready
to help meet the emergency.
Scheduled to get underway on
Wednesday of this week, the
drive is* to run through January
30.
The National Foundation is ask
ing the nation to raise $24,000,000
this year in the March of Dimes
to carry on vital research and of
fer treatment of victims.
Last year the Foundation rais
ed less than sixteen million dol
lars and the year’s polio epidemic
virtually exhausted the funds.
There were 25,204 paralysis cases
in the country, worst since the U.
S. Public Health Service began
compiling figures, except for 1916
when 27,363 persons were strick
en.
Thirty years ago one out of four
paralysis victims died. Last year
the depth toll was reduced to one
victi* out of ten. Much progress
ha* followed since the Foundation
yas established just a few years
Jpgo- The work must go on, and
for it to continue, r.ur people
must contribute liberally during
the drive this month.
I Find Patients
Much Improved
— ..
Friends, visiting Mayor John L.
Hassell in a Washington hospital,
and Attorney Wheeler Martin in a
hospital at Rocky Mount, last
week-end found both patients
much improved.
Attorney Martin was said by
several friends to be unusually
cheerful and bright, that they
were expecting him home in early
February. Specialists from an
other hospital visited Mr. Martin
and studied his case lust Saturday,
and it was stated that their re
port was encouraging.
Sunday, Mayor Hassell, a vic
tim of high blood pressure, was
said to be the brightest he had
been since entering the hospital
there on December 26. It could
not be learned when he would be
discharged.

Six Robberies Reported In
Town During the Past
Week-End
-1
A wave of robberies and thefts
launched locally the early part of
last month, swept on unabated
last week-end when six more
places were entered to boost the
total to fifteen since December 9.
No statement has been made by
local police who, reports state,
have not been able to establish a
single lead in the first case.
Entering six places of business
in the town in early December,
the robbers were idle until the
fourth of this month when they
broke into the Lindsley Ice Com
pany store. Four nights later they
broke into the Blue Star Cleaners
and the Greene Oil Company sta
tion on Washington Street for the
second time, and added a new vic
tim, the laundry, to their list.
Last Thursday night robbers us
ed a crow bar to pry their way
into Charlie Mack Johnson’s store
on Church Street. They got
about $15 or $20 worth of canned
goods, cigarettes and other items.
Going to Elm Street the following
night, the robbers pulled a staple
I and went into Walter Mizelle's
stort? and carried away a small
amount of change and possibly a
few items from the stock.
Last Friday night the Lindsley
store was entered for the second
time in less than a week. A few
dollars were stolen from the cash
register and possibly a few cig
arettes were carried away. The
robbers used the same window
DOin limes in lorciug ail cimuncc
into tho Lindsley store.
Tearing a lock from the tool
house where Dr. and Mrs. Chas.
Harris are building their home on
School Drive, robbers stole a
number of tools there Thursday
night. Other tools were said to
have been shoplifted from count
ers in the Thrower Appliance
Company stoic. A. j. Hardison
young white man, was detained in
connection with the shoplifting
and for the alleged theft of cloth
ing from boarders in a rooming
house here. The clothes and most,
if not all the tools, were recover
ed.
Nothing was missed from Kus
sell Griffin’s Sinclair filling sta
tion at the corner of Washington
and HuughUm Streets.
Breaking into Hollywood Inn
once known as Duck Inn, the rob
bers stole cigarettes and severa
crates of beer.
Patrolling the section early Sat
urday morning, a night officei
said he heard someone in Holly
wood Inn, that he returned to the
police station for re-enforce
ments, that when they returned
the robbers were gone but they
discovered the breuk-m.
The robberies here representec
only one phase of disregard foi
law and order in this section dur
ing last week. A filling statior
was robbed on the Hamilton Roac
and an attempted holdup was re
ported several miles out on thi
Washington road. Sheriff C. B
Roebuck stated yesterday that hi
had made extensive investiga
tions, but so far hud been unable
to establish a lead in either of tin
two cases outside the town.
Eleven persons were arrestee
and jailed duiing the week foi
various alleged law violations,
climax was reached early Sunday
morning when the sheriff arrest
ed drunken driver, jailed him anc
delivered the man’s girl com
panion to her home in the coun
try. The gas supply in the offic
er's car ran out near Holly
Springs church in Williams Town
ship, and he walked all the way
to town, reaching here about 4:31
o’clock that morning. “I callec
at a home, but received no answci
except from the yard dogs.” thi
officer explained, adding that hi
felt as if he had walked eighteei
miles when he reached town.
Williamston apparently is no
the only town plagued by robbers
reports stating that a garage it
Goldsboro just across the stree
from the police department wa:
entered and robbed of more that
$2,000 recently.

Delegates Report
Farm Convention
—<t>—
Eight Representatives Ask
ed To Attend the State
Farm Bureau Meeting
Attending a special meeting in
the county courthouse last Friday
evening a goodly representation
of the Martin Farm Bureau mem
bership heard the three county
delegates report on their trip to
the national convention of the
American Farm Bureau Federa
tion held in San Francisco last
month.
Opening the meeting, President
Chas. L. Daniel called for the sec
retary’s report. T. B. Brandon an
nounced that there were 2,148
members in the county organiza
tion and that the treasury had a
balance of $1,648, a goodly part
of which is to be used in financ
ing the annual barbecue in late
April or early May.
Strongly endorsing the State's
proposed Good Health program,
the Farm Bureau, according to
President Daniel, has been advis
ed that some strong opposition
will be offered against the plan
by certain groups. Mr. Daniel
said that this state ranks first in
the South in Farm Bureau mem
bers and sixth in the nation, that
there are now 62,000 members.
Eight members were asked to
represent the Martin Farm Bu
reau at the state convention to be
held in Winston-Salem next
momn.
The business schedule complet
ed, D. V. Clayton, delegate to the
San Francisco meeting, reported
on the trip, jokingly offering a
few sidelights at his own expense,
“Something was said about get
ting lost,” Clayton said, and went
on, “Well, I was lost from the
time I left until I returned. As
for getting left, I managed to gel
as far as the Grand Canyon with
the group. But one fellow got left
before the special train reached
South Carolina. The man caught
a plane in Goldsboro and caughl
up with us in Atlanta,” the dele
gate said.
Reaching Atlanta and consider
ing it a safe distance from home
one member of the delegation
’ was accused there of trying tc
I employ a good-looking secretary
, but secretaries were ruled oul
I and the party proceeded to New
Orleans where a five-hour sight
seeing tour was included in the
■ schedule. Mr. Clayton said thal
it was a beautiful city with its
multi-million dollar buildings.
' Moving into Texas, the delegate
, was a bit disappointed when he
saw very few cows on the vas'
, rolling plains, “and those we die
, see were of mixed breeds.”
San Antonio is a beautiful city
according to the story which di
gressed from the trip long enougl
to say something about Van G
Taylor making the front page ir
j one of the papers there with hi:
picture. No exhibit was offered.
, Puffing its way on across tin
. one-state nation, the nineteen ca:
North Carolina special had onlj
one diner to serve several hun
dred persons, so Clayton got Var
up or Van got Clayton up at 1
o’clock in the morning to get i
| first seat at the breakfast table.
“Part of Texas is a great cottor
country. We saw thousands o
acres of the staple which is pro
t’ duced at the rate of two bales pel
acre. Mexicans, paid $2.50 pci
hundred, were picking the last o

were seen unprotected beside thi
railroad,” Mr. Clayton said.

Report Series Of
-Accidents In The
County Last Week

Richard Davis, Kim Over
By Large Trurk, Dies
In Hospital
-+
One person was fatally injured
and at least four others were
hurt, one badly, in a series of five
highway accidents on Martin
County highways last*week, ac
cording to information furnished
by members of the highway oa
trol. Property damage was lim
ited to a nominal amount, the of
ficers said,
Richard Davis, 39-year-old col
ored man of near Oak City, was
fatally injured when he jumped
out of a burning truck and was
run over by the vehicle on High
way No. 125, six miles out uf Wil
liamston, last Friday afternoon
about 1:00 o'clock. The rear
wheels of the truck ran over the
man's leg and he quickly twisted
his body but failed to get out of
the path of the trailer wheels
which ran over his head. Several
ribs were broken and his skull
was badly fractured. Given first
aid in a Williamston doctor's of
fice, he was later removed in a
taxi to a Washington hospital
where he died at 5:45 o’clock that
afternoon.
Although he was fatally hurt,
Davis was said to have been able
to walk after the accident, and
that he was conscious and talked
up until just a short time before
he died.
Hitchhiking with James Bunch
and Alexander Savage who we:"
operating G. H. Manning's truck
and trailer loaded with peanuts,
Davis said he felt his feet getting
hot. Looking down he and the
other two men saw smoke rising.
Davis did not take time to open
the door, but crawled out the door
window and either jumped or fell
under the truck wheels. Savage,
riding in the middle, also crawled
out the window behind Davis but
held on until the truck was stop
ped. Bunch, driving the vehicle,
opened the left door and steered
the truck from the running board
down the road for about 100
yards, stopping it on the shoulder.
He and Savage beat out the fire
which apparently started from a
burning cigarette behind the seat
cushion.
Neither Bunch or Savage knew
what had happened to Davis until
a aevs&TKt truck, driven by Joe
t Mayo right behind the Manning
truck, told them that the man had
been run over. The accident was
t also witnessed by Willie Jones
i Dickens and Oscar Staton, occu
j pants of the Moye truck.
r Bunch and Savage said that rio
one had been smoking since tiny
left Hamilton, and they did not
know how the fire satrted. Very
little damage was done to the
truck, according to Cpl. W. T.
Simpson who made the investiga
tion.
It was the first fatal accident
r on a highway in this county in the
new year.
j Mrs. Whit Moore was badly
hurt when she fell out of a mule
drawn cart near her holm; be
tween Everetts and Williamston
last Wednesday. Standing in the
cart, Mrs. Moore was driving tiie
mule on the highway when a
truck passed and the animal stop
ped quickly. Mrs. Moore was
’ thrown out of flu: cur on to the
concrete and suffered a fracture
of the left arm and a bad cut on
1 her forehead. She was treated m
