FIRST MONDAY
"\
I
Present indications point to
a quiet and uneventful meet
ing for the Martin County
commissioners when they
meet in regular session here
next Monday morning. The
current fiscal year budget is
scheduled for formal adop
tion, but other than that and
routine matters, no business
is scheduled for consideration
by the board at that time.
No meeting of the county
board of education has been
i scheduled for next Monday,
| but one will be held later in
the month, it was learned.
Lighting Contract
Here Liberalized
A supplemental contract, offer
ing more illumination at no addi
(tional cc t and eliminating instal
lation charges, has been entered
into by the local town commis
sioners and the Virginia Electric
and Power Company.
In accordance with the terms of
I the original street lighting con
tract, Williamston received 100
street lights free. At the time the
allotment was greater than the
need, but the growth of the town
called for and continues to call
for more lights. After the 100 al
lotment was exhausted, a charge
for installation was made and the
lights were energized and main
tained for a yearly cost of $30.
The cost of energizing and main
taining the lights in excess of the
100 unit allotment is now $16.50
per year per unit, and the illumi
nation is being increased from
1,000 to 2,500 lumens.

Arrested Alleged
Robber This Week
In New York City
— ■ ♦
Harold Clark Wanted Here
For Robbing The Blue
Star Cleaners
Wanted here in connection with
the robbery of the Blue Star
Cleaners on Washington Street
last April 5, Harold Clark, young
white man, was arrested in New
York Monday, the sheriff’s office
was notified this week.
Officers had been working on
the case for months, but no trace
of the man could be found until
this week when he was arrested
by New York police who checked
his linger mints and learned he
was wanted in connection with
the robbery here. Clark, 21 years
old and a former resident of
Washington, N. C., declared he
would resist his forced return to
this section, and local officers are
now preparing extradition papers
with the aid of District Solicitor
George Fountain. There is no
reason to believe that the extra
dition papers will not be honored
by New York's governor, Thos.
Dewey, and that Clark will be re
turned here within a few days.
New York City police were asked
by special message to detain the
man until the papers could be
cleared in the governors' offices
in the two states.
Clark, reported to have spent
some time in reformatories, en
tered the Blue Star building here
on Washington Street by break
ing through a side window on the
night of Saturday, April 5 or early
on Easter Morning, the 6th. He
carried away several suits, one or
two coats and a sport jacket. Said
to have been (raveling on foe* hn
stopped at the H. C. Green farm
between here and Washington
Sunday morning and sold an over
coat to Grover Woolard for $1,
and sold a suit to Booker T. Wool
ard.
The next edition of The Enter
prise carried an account of the
robbery and Mr. Green and the
purchasers of the clothes reported
to officers and cooperated with
them in identifying the man. His
identity determined, Clark was
trailed to Washington, but the
search was blocked there and fed
eral enforcement agencies were
asked io check., finger prints and
aid in the search.
Clark was seen in Wdliamston
and was Questioned by local po
lice on some other minor charge
the evening before the robbery
was discovered the following
morning.
A later telegram received from
‘New York’s chief police inspector
plated that Clark, apparently
realizing he could not successfully
fight extradition, announced he
would return voluntarily. De
puty Murray Holloman, accom
panied by Bernard Harrison, is
now in New York for the alleged
robber. They are expected to re
turn Friday.

Badly Hurt In
Auto Accident
John L. Goff, Jr., local young
man was badly but not critically
hurt and Dr. H. S. Hilley, presi
dent of Atlantic Christian Col
lege, was critically injured in an
automobile accident at Cobb’s
Cross Roads between Tarboro and
Pinetops last Wednesday after
noon. Three other persons in a
second car were injured but their
names and the extent of their in
juries could not be learned imme
diately.
The local young man and Dr.
Hilley both suffered head injuries
and were removed to a Tarboro
hospital. Dr. Hilley continues in
a semi-conscious condition, but
the local boy was able to talk and
is expected to be able to leave
the hospital shortly.
The Goff boy was riding with
Dr. Hilley and they were en route
to Wilson.

Examinations Are
Removing Few Old
Drivers From Road
—®—
l.ii'liict ii «>f Twenty-one A|»
lilirmil!! Pass Test Here
Wednesday
The fairly general belief that
the new driver's license exami
nation would take many drivers
from under the steering wheel
was dispelled . here Wednesday
when Safety Examiner James
Boyce tested twenty-one appli
cants and passed eighteen of
them. While the tests are certain
to rule out the entirely unfit
driver, it is equally certain that
those who already have drivers’
licenses will be able to get the
new type without much difficul
ty, that new applicants need not
consider the new system a buga
boo.
Eighteen of the twenty-one
persons applying for licenses m
this county Wednesday pussed the
tests, one was rejected because
his car did not meet safety re
quirements, and the two failing
the test had never applied for li
censes, ‘They were a bit scared
for some reason, and, no doubt,
will be able to pass it later,” the
examiner said.
The issuance of the new four
year type licenses was off to a
fairly slow start here on account
of the bad weather Wednesday
morning and some of those re
porting decided to return later.
Mrs. Dora Perry Bland, 10!) N.
SmithwU k Street, Williamston,
was the first to get one of the
new type licenses. She passed
the written exam and returned
after the rain had stopped and
successfully took the road test.
Ft was poUitcd Wt that while
the regular, mechanical inspec
tions will not be made until after
the first of next January, the
person applying for the new type
license must have a vehicle—
car or jeep—that is in a safe con
dition for use, and that lie must
use his own car or that of the
family or employer.
Only those persons whose
names begin with the letter A
or the letter B are supposed to
apply for the new type licens
at the present time. Several per
sons whose names begin with a
letter farther down in the alpha
bet reported lor licenses Wednes
day and were advised to return
later, possibly not before some
limp next year.
The license bureau, located in
the county courthouse, will not
be open this Saturday, but it
will be open all day next Wed
nesday and Saturday morning of
next week. More examiners are
being trained and as soon as
they are available Examiner
Boyce will spend more time in
this county. The schedule will
be announced later.
Those persons becoming of age
shall apply immediately regard
less of what initials their names
start with if they plan to oper
ate a motor vehicle.

Drivers’ License
Examination Not
Difficult To Pass
First Applicants Assured
No Trick Instructions
Are Given
The first applicants reporting
to the State Automobile Drivers’
License Bureau in the County
courthouse last Wednesday found
; the examination and tests very
! easy, one declaring that the ques
j tions and instructions were quite
! simple.
Possibly one of the baffling fea
tures about the examination was
the belief on the part of some of
the applicants that they were be
ing given trick questions or in
structions. Taking the road test,
one applicant, when instructed to
turn his car around in the middle
of a block, was quoted as saying,
“That’s not proper, and if I do
turn around in the middle of a
block you will refuse me my li
cense,’’ The examiner assured the
driver that it was unlawful to
turn a car around in the middle
of a block in most instances, but
the task was part of a maneuver
I to tost the driver’s skill in handl
j ing a car. "It's no trick,” Exam
iner James Boyce assured each of
the drivers taking the test, but
! oven then some were dubious un
til they had their applications ap
proved.
Briefly reviewed the road test
j calls for:
* Quick stops, the examiner
I checking the reaction time,
The driver is asked back his car
fifty feet,
To turn around in the middle
of a block,
i To park parallel to the curb,
To -tiii^ar on grade or hill.
To make left and right "nuTTs’’"
and give proper hand signals,
To demonstrate use of gears,
clutch and brakes,
To use horn properly,
To test reaction to stop signs,
slow signs and traffic lights where
; installed
To keep in proper lane and
j what to do when overtaking a
car or when being overtaken by
another car, and to determine
who has right of way.
The driver is graded on posture,
the examiner stating that points
' will he subtracted frorii the grade
L ihe driver .dumps in i,i.> seat,
rides partly out the door window
•jiici 1 hen tne driver is
| graded on the attention his gives
'to his job. If the driver lights a
c igarette or turns on the radio, so
many points are deducted.
The written test provides 25
! questions under three headings.
Five of the questions are to be
filled in; lot instance, The speed
; limit is , the applicant to
till in the maximum speed allow
ed in business areas, residential
sections and on the highways.
In the next group of five ques
tions the applicant is to select the
right answer. For instance the
question, “What should you do
when you back your car”? is ask
ed, and several optional answers
are listed. In this case, for ex
ample: Watch rear view mirror;
Blow your horn; Ask somebody to
watch for you; Back slowly and
look to rear at all times. The pro
tier selection to the question is,
"Back slowly and look to the rear
at all times."
Then there are fifteen "light”
j or "wrong” questions, the appli
cant to check which is right and
| which is wrong. For instance the
test may list the following: “When
you stop your car on a hill, turn
your front wheels from the curb.”
Well, the applicant naturally
would mark that wrong, and so on
the questions run, the last task be
ing to identify five road signs.
