Cowen. Installed by the Virginia Elec tric and Power Company and . Jack Gray, local electrician, the lights w'ere tested Wednesday aft ernoon. The signals are to W'ork on just about a fifteen-second frequency. To install the lights, the w'orkmen had to raise the Williamston Tobacco Market sign about five feet and shift the street lights at the two intersec tions from the middle to the side. A certain amount of confusion j is to be expected following the introduction of the new traffic j lights, but plans are being work- ! ed out by a special committee to ! have traffic move as orderly as i possible. With the exception of the Washington-Main Street in tersection. the operation of the lights will automatically elimi nate all “U” turns in the Main Street business district. Traffic, now making a “U" turn at the Watts and Haughton intersections it to be routed around the block. Some traffic is expected to turn right on Smithwick, travel one block to the railroad and turn right there to gain an outlet to the south of town via Washington Street. Other traffic is expected to turn left either on Smithwick or Watts Streets and move to Church to get back on Main or gain an outlet either to the north or west. New regulations, calling for parallel parking on the north side of Main Street and on one side of Watts and Smithwick Streets, will go into effect just as soon as the proper signs can be made available, Mayor Cowen said.

An old oil drum used for a still and a small fermenter were wrecked. There was an apparent letup in the illicit manufacturing business in the county last month, the ABC Enforcement Officer stating that only six stills were located and lons of beer were poured out Admits Robbing D Local Business Returned last week-end from New York where he was booked for vagrancy, Harold Clark, young Washington white man, has admitted breaking into the Blue Star Cleaners here last East er and taking several suits of clothes. He waived preliminary hearing and bond was fixed in the sum of $500. Unable to raise that amount himself and finding no one willing to come to his res cue. Clark continues in the county jail. His case is slated to be heard in the superior court in Septem ber. Clark, returned here by Deputy Buck Holloman, was walking down a New York street about 2:00 o’clock one morning when some one smashed a show win dow with a brick.

Unable to book him for breaking the window, he was detained on a vagrancy count. When his ringer prints were checked it was learned he was wanted for the local robbery. It is thought by some that CLark was not alone in the rob beiy, but investigations so far lave not connected any one else with the crime, it was learned tere this mornvig.

Company Here Has Marked Growth In Twenty-five Years —•— Harrison Oil Firm Anionp; Largest Independent Dealers In State -® Organized in 1922 by Geo. H. Harrison and the late C. A. (Gus) Harrison, the Harrison Oil Com pany here has experienced a phe nominal growth during the past twenty-five years, and today the firm is ranked among the largest independent oil dealers in this section of the country. Handling Texaco Products, the company started out in a very small way, but with a policy at tuned to the future. Its first equipment included only a 22,000 gallon capacity storage tank, and a single delivery truck of only 250-gallon capacity. It was in keeping with the horse-and-buggy days all right, but each year saw the company expanding its equip ment and services and today the company holds a commanding position in the business. With a storage capacity right at one million gallons, tIre com pany has maintained an available supply of gasoline and oils to meet the needs of this section. Prepar ing for the tobacco curing season, the company only a few days ago unloaded two boat loads of fuel oil for curing barns and a large supply of fuel oil for home and commercial heating. There may be a shortage of oil for curing to bacco in some sections, but the need in this area has been antici pated and action taken to meet it. At the present time, the com pany maintains five bulk plants located at Williamston, Roboison v.ij )e, M.Cit y..W.i»4spf..*ad-,A«.... lander. A fleet of seventeen mod ern delivery trucks operates in this and several other counties in this section, distributing Texaco products to a record number of filling stations and farms. The company is still being oper ated by one of its found*. rs with the assistance of his son, George Hjirrison, Jr., who is on tempor ary leave of absence while receiv ing treatment for a knee ailment in a Baltimore hospital. ■-tf--- • Haymow!

() 0 0 Migratory Workers Placed In This Area Last Month The Williamston office of the State Employment Service, cov ering Martin, Bertie, Washington and Tyrrell Counties, reports that 67 job seekers were placed on jobs during the month of June. Tin vast majority of these persons were Martin County job-seekers, according to Howard S. Sexton, the .local office manager. During June a total of 1758 in dividuals contacted the local of fice or itinerant points of the of fice. This group included job seekers, self-employed farmers, persons seeking general informa tion about other government ac tivities, and veterans in quest of information on loans for housing and business, insurance, on-the job training, hospitalization, and employment opportunities. At the end of June the office hud on file 138 active applications for jobs and 105 unfilled job open ings listed, but not a large per centage- of these 138 people can be placed in the openings because of experience requirements, trans portation problems, housing con ditions, etc. During the month, 73 new job-seekers registered for work. In addition to the local nnn agricultural job placements, 3200 migratory farm laborers were placed on jobs by Employment Service personnel in the office area. These workers were used in digging potatoes and working in tobacco. Migratory farm work ers are several ihousand in num ber, and they range all the way from Florida to Maine in the course of a crop year and help cultivate and harvest all types of crops. In eastern N. C. they are used in tobacco and potato crops. Judging from official labor market reports, unemployment in the Williamston Employment of fice area is below the state aver age, and little difficulty is met in placing an experienced applicant on a skilled or specialized job. However, as employment settles down to a peace time trend, it is becoming more and more diffi cult to place the inexperienced helpers.

Approximately 300 sheep were loaded in Tarboro earlier in the day, but they were raised by a number of fanners who arranged with the Division of Markets for a cooperative sale, i Farmers Have A Bi«r Stake In Ref erendu m Farm Bureau Head Calk For A Large Vote On Saturday ; Forty Percent of Income Fast Year Fame From Exported Tobacco -• Martin County growers have a $3,680,000 stake in the flue-cured tobacco referendum Saturday, July 12. This is the amount they receiv ed for their tobacco that was ex ported in 1946 and represents 40 percent of the $9,200,000 Martin growers received for their crop last year. C. L. Daniel, Williamston, County Farm Bureau President, today urged all flue-cured farm ers to get out and vote Saturday, as he diciosed these important facts, "In other words,” Daniel said, "40 cents out of every dollar to bacco brings to growers must come from stiles to other coun tries. The referendum will deter mine whether the farmers are willing to assess themselves 10 cents per acre-—or about 45 cents per year for the average produc er during the next three years. That market meant $200 per acre lor almost $1,000 to every flue cured grower last year.” Daniel revealed that the 1,618 I Martin County farms produced j 17.500,000 pounds of flue-cured to ll uu-co fimml5.165 acres last year. "It two-thirds ot the farmers voting in the referendum Satur day approve the assessment,” Daniel said, “a broad three-year program for protection and ex pension of foreign trade in flue cured tobacco will be stepped up immediately. Tobacco Associates, a non-profit organization formed to administer the program, is al ready operating, with the full co operation of the Farm Bureau, the Grange, the State College Kx tension Service and tobacco allied interests.” Daniel emphasized that the se curity ol a healthy foreign mar ket is vital to everyone living in ■f'vr-wa-r-t flWtrih'h 'fwWfdffirCWffTc the program is endorsed by bank ers, warehousemen and all other businessmen.
