Injured In Auto
Accident Tuesday
Mrs. Alonza Bland suffered a
painful but believed not serious
knee injury in an automobile ac
cident on a dirt road just off
Highway 125 last Tuesday after
noon at 4:45 o’clock.
Johnnie Blake Harrell of Green
ville had driven his 1941 Ford off
4L Highway 125 just this side of Ab
bitt's mill and was rounding a
curve on the Slaughter House
Road when he met and crashed
headon into a car driven by
Archie Lee Perry who was ac
companied by Mrs. Bland and
others. Mrs. Bland was treated
in a doctor’s office here and is
now able to be out,
Damage to the Perry cur was
estimated at $100 and repairs to
W the Har rell car will cost around
$50, Patrolman W. E. Saunders,
investigating the accident, said.
Harrell, charged with operating
a motor vehicle on the left side
of the road, is scheduled to ap
pear Saturday morning for a
hearing.
Motorists Delay Reporting
For New Drivers’ Licenses
Motorists whose last names be
gin with the letter A or B are
slow reporting for the new type
drivers' licenses, Safety Examiner
James Boyce said yesterday.
There have been a few times
when the bureau, located in the
i county courthouse here, was rush
ed. but the examiner has been
there several hours without re
ceiving an applicant.
It is believed that some of the
motorists in the designated alpha
betical category are delaying the
terts possibly because they are
afraid they'll lose their driver’s li
censes. It has been pointed out
that drivers may retain their li
censes under most all conditions
through December 31, that if they
have not procured the new type
by that time they'll be subject to
court action. In other words
there is no good reason why mot
orists whose last names begin
with the letter A or B should de
lay taking the tests. If too many
wait until the last minute, the
rush will bo so great that the ap
plicants-cannot be handled with
dispatch and the new type licens
ees must be had by the last of next
December. After that date appli
cants whose names begin with the
letter C and so on will be receiv
ed by the licensing bureau.
Commenting on his work in this
county to date. Examiner Boyce
said that only three out of 70 ap
plicants had failed the tests and
two of them had not applied for
licenses before. The third one
failed because of defective vision,
but possibly he’ll be able to
I qualify by having his eyes fitted
: with glasses.
Two examiners are working in
| this county at the present time.
. One is located in the courthouse
each Wednesday and Thursday
| from t) a. m. to 5 p. m., and the
■ other is located in Robersonville
leach Friday from 9 a. m. to 5:00

Hog Thief Active
Again In County
-«
For the fourth time in recent
. -,vi ‘.'h.i „ ".a \ t .- i,;,:: klv ami < ■
fectively struck farmers’ hog
pens and pastures in tins county,
their latest visit centering in Far
mer Alfred Taylor’s pasture on
the Alvin Roebuck farm between
Robersonville and Parmele some
time during last Tuesday night.
Employing what are certain to
be crude methods of butchery, the
thieves, making their second visit
to the same farm, carried away
two hogs weighing about 110
pounds each and left'one ham cut
open.
Some weeks ago Mr. Taylor
missed two hogs from his pasture
and he first thought they broke
through the fence. Feeding his
hogs once each day late in the
evening the farmer missed two
more Wednesday evening and
having heard about the hog
snatchers he investigated and
found where the last tw'o pigs
were ifled. The thieves have been
operating between the Connie H.
Clark farm east of Everetts and
Parmele. Officers have not yet
been able to establish a definite
lead in any of the cases, but ex
tensive investigations have been
made in this and surrounding
counties
Finding the ti rritory along
Highway 64 too hot for the safe
keeping of their hogs, farmers
were reported Thursday to be
moving thier swine to pens on
neighbors’ farms some distance
from the main highway.

Stalling out with what was first

lover the allotted acreages, tobacco
farmers in this county in one way
j acreage in must cases, according
' to unofficial but reliable reports
| heard here this week. The re
I ports are not complete but they
| were based on 1,475 of the 1,600
' tobacco farms in the county.
It is fairly apparent now that
actual plantings have been
brought to within about 20 acres
of the allotments by those who
intentionally or untintentionnllv
planted in excess of their quotas. 1
It could not be learned immedi
ately but it is fairly certain that
the crop, taken as a whole, is con
siderably below the total allot
ment, the supervisors stating that
many farmers fell from a fraction
'of an acre to several acres below
their quotas.
It was reported about the mid
dle of this week that 125 farms
'either have not been measured or
the reports are being held by the
| supervisors. Aside from tire 125
farms, fifty-two farms have been
found to bo in excess of the given
j allotments! but in nearly half of
those cases, the excess was only
i one-tenth of an acre, a few re
porting approximately two acres
lover and above the quota. Unof
! ficial reports state that some far
mers destroyed several acres
ahead of the filing of the reports
and are now in position to es
i cape penalties and participate in
, the price equalization program.
Up until Wednesday no reports
had been filed for 13 farms in
Bear Grass, 9 in Cross Roads, 69
in Goose Nest. 5 in Griffins, 11 in
Hamilton, one in Poplar Point, 11
in Robersonville, 2 in Williams
and 4 in Williamstori Townships.
Jamesville was reported com
plete.
Several farmers with excess
acreage plan to harvest it and
pay the marketing penalty.' In
I other cases the excess planter may
call for a recheck by contacting
I the county agent's office and
, agreeing to pay the added cost.
Tobacco acreage notices are to
go out to the growers shortly, and
those who have excess acreage
and who want to make some dis
position of it before the market
ing season may do one of three
things, according to the depart
ment. The farmer with excess
acreage may pay the penalty in
advance, or store the excess to
bacco under bond, or furnish
proof to the county committee
that the excess tobacco is unmer
chantable.

Representative Of
Polio Foundation
Here Last Tuesday
-o
Explains IW of Iron Emty
To Small Group In The
County Courthouse
State representative for the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis Prevention, Philip Ran
dolph of Chapel Hill, speaking to
a limited number at the special
AMVETS meeting Tuesday night
in the court house, praised the
local chapter for its efforts to se
cure an infant's iron lung for Mar
tin County. Mr. Randolph point
ed out that these lungs may be
used for children up to 5 or (5
years of age, depending on the
size of the child. He further em
phasized that the lung is used for
other purposes such as respiratory
diseases and premature children.
Adult lungs aren't satisfactory
for children because there is too
much space inside the lung for
the small child's body to ade
quately fill it. the speaker said.
An infant's lung carries all the
equipment and safety devices and
with proper care should last a life
time. It is simple to operate and
should not be feared, the speaker
added.
It was further stated that when
such a lung was needed nothing
could take its place. Mr. Ran
dolph explained to his listeners
that his office knows where every
lung in the state is located and
when a call for one comes, the
nearest one to the need is sent.
Often times states exchange the
lungs and all transportation costs
.a.p-aist-bythe i,\rfnr,.v yrsing the
lung.
"The positive assurance that
one is available means a lot," Mr.
Randolph declared.
With a lung Martin County
people would have that assurance.
,’T. ' ! I.,
cated in Durham and anotht r
ordi ,ias been placed for one in
Raleigh. Martin County could
have the third.
Mr. Randolph suggested that
the lung be stored in a place such
as the fire or police department
where someone is on duty at till
times It must be kept where it
will not be tampered with.
The speaker warned against
(lirsL ,->o called non iung displays
with victims in them. The Ameri
can Medical Association has ap
proved very few makes of lungs,

He also said the approved man
ufacturers would send a repre

display the lung.
In closing, Mr. Randolph said
that the greatest service could be
rendered by allowing the lung to
be loaned out. He cited an ex

Two Barely Miss
Electrocution
—«—
Two persons, Leland Coburn of
Robeisonvilie, and King Council,
colored farmer of near Oak City,
miraculously escaped death by
electrocution recently when they
came in contact with high tension
power lines. Mr. Coburn, super
intendent of Robersonville’s light
and water departments, was mov
ing a pole when he came in indi
rect contact with a high-powered
electric line. He fell and broke
the contact, saving his life by a
narrow margin.
Council, driving a two-horse
wagon under a low-hanging 11,
UOO-volt REA line on the Barrett
farm just outside of Oak City last
Monday morning, was badly
burned on one arm and on his
chest. Council says he doesn’t re
call coining in direct contact with
the wire, that he was knocked ten
or twelve feet from the wagon
and rendered unconscious for an
indefinite period? The victim, go
ing into the woods for a load of
pine straw, had crossed under the
low-swinging power line several
times. The lines were energized
only a short time ago and it was
his first trip since the juice was
turned on. One report stated that
a guy wire had been slackened by
the heavy rains, causing the main
lines to fall within a few feet of
the ground.
Treated in a Tarboro hospital,
Council was said later to be recov
ering.

Warning Against
Rebuilding Basic
German Industry
Conflicting Krports Plague
Situation Existing In
European Nations
-» —
A proposal by the United States
to rebuild German industry on a
large scale either to restore its
economy or as a buffer state
against Russia is being warned
against by several countries.
During the meantime conflict
ing reports on the foreign situa
tion continue to come from the
high places. Secretary of State
George Marshall speaking to a
group of Congressmen in Wash
ington a few days ago left the im
pression that the situation was
grave. But Senator Elbert Thom
as (Democrat of Utah), just back
from Europe, told Americans not
to be “discouraged" about ‘ Rus
sia. and drew a parallel between
present animosity toward the
USSR and the "concert’’ of hos
tility once directed against the re
volution-born U. S. A.
He said the U. S. A. was now
using the "proper approach", out
declared:
"You can't force Russia any
more than Russia can force us.
If it is going to be a matter of
force and propaganda, we both
lose."
Thomas, a member of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
attended the International Labor
Organization conference at Gen
eva. In a radio interview over
station WEAM, he predicted
“things will come out of Russia
all right" when the Soyi/g people
get "true education."
He said we should realize "how
new the Russian revolution is”
and remember lot example the
spirit of the world toward the
young U. S. A. 25 years alter our
own revolution.

organized against us, against
democracy, and against popular
sovereignty, flunk of these things,
and you are not going to be dis
couraged."
Thomas pointed out that Rus
sia's educational problems are en
tirely different than ours. An
elementary textbook written for
all pupils, be noted, would have
to be in 135 different language
In connection with the proposal
to rebuild Germany, a report was
released in Washington this week,
as follows:
Poland, which refused to take
part in the Paris talks on the Mar
shall plan, is attempting to per
suade the participating powers in
dividually that no stable peace
can be expected if German in
dustry is revived.
Poland’s ambassador1 here, Josef
Wtniewicz, said in an interview
that Poland's diplomatic corps is
approaching various governments
to protest any plan which would
either (1 i give priority to German
needs over World War II allies, or
(2) give Germany the chance to
become again the industrial giant
of Europe.
The Ambassador said that Po
land has found it difficult to in

market. For that reason it applied

Toliawo Harvest
Well Under Way
—«—
Alter getting off to a slow and
.scattered start, the 11)47 tobacco
harvest is well under way in this
county at the present time. Re
ports state that nearly every
grower in the county has or will
have harvested at least one burn
by early next week. With .some
few exceptions, the reports on the
curings are encouraging. "We
took out some mighty sorry tobac
co early in the week.” one farm
er said. Another said that the
quality of the leaf was possibly
better on his farm than it was
lust year.
No great difficulty is being ex
perienced in getting labor for the
harvest this year. Some farmers
are finding it necessary to haul
their workers, but more people
are looking for work this year
than last. No uniform wage scale
has been reported, but wages are
averaging light at $6 a day for!
primers and about $3 per day for j
bench workers. ,

Georgia Has Larger and
lletter Quality (!rop This
Year Than In 1946
Conflicting reports on prices
and reactions of farmers came out
of Georgia where the 1947 sale of
leaf tobacco got underway. The
reports were based on estimates
and early Thursday afternoon it
was impossible to determine any
definite price trend, but observers
were of the opinion that the aver
age' would hold close to 43 cents
a pound if late sales maintained
the trend set earlier in the day.
One report indicated that the av
erage during the early sales would
range between 45 and 47 cents a
pound for the belt, but a down
ward trend was reported on most
markets even before the first hour
of sales had been completed.
Just before noon large numbers
of farmers were said to be turning
their tobacco in to the Stabiliza
tion Corporation and were glad to
accept the agency's support prices.
The first row of tobacco sold at
Valdosta ,the belt's largest mar
ket, sold mostly in the 47-56-eent
range as compared with an open
ing-day average of 4(1 cents last
year. Prices were said to have
dropped following the first hour
vil .'•iiir.'s, ai'»u iaiUK-i.h vWVf turit
mg to the Stabilization Corpora
tion.
At Quitman the first 50,1)00
pounds averaged l ight at 45 cents
and farmers were said to be
"pleased” there.
of around 43 cents for its first
sales.
Nashville, reporting its quality
slightly inferior to that of a year
ago, had an average of 43 cents.
Adel, with prices ranging from
511 to til cents for the better qual
ity grades, claimed the market
was stronger than a year ago.
Statesboro leporled a 43-eeiit
price average compared v\ 11h 4ti

market.
It is fairly apparent from the
first rush reports that the open
ing did not measure up to every
one’s expectations, that many far
mers rejected the prices and
turned to the Stabilization Cor
poration,
A report from Jim Gray, Ilober
sonvi 1 If tobacconist, says that the
quality at Moultrie was good,

weather was hot.

Proclaims Quotas
For Marketing of
Peanuts In 1948
--
Chill CalU For Decrease of
Nearl\ Million Veres
Next Season
-•- I
Secretary of Agriculture Clin
| ton Anderson just recently pro
I claimed a marketing quota of
760.000 tons of peanuts for 1948.
I meaning that nearly one million
I acres of peanuts will have to be
dropped from the total next year
if support prices are to be made
available after this year. The
question now is; Who's going to
reduce, growers in the old pro
ducing belts or those in the new
areas?
Action by the secretary calling
for quotas was taken as required
by the Agricultural Adjustment
Act of 1938 to proclaim marketing
quotas unless the supply of pea
nuts tor edible products and ve
getable oils is below domestic re
1 quirements and probable exports.
The AA Act also requires that a
i referendum be held not later than
, December 15, 1947, in which the
1 producers of peanuts may vote fur
or against marketing quotas. A
twu-thirds vote in favor of quotas
would put marketing quotas and
acreage allotments into effect for
tin' next three years.
Also a price support on 1948
crup peanuts at 90 percent of par
ity as of July 15. the beginning of
the marketing year, is contingent
1 upon the growers’ approval of the
quotas proclaimed by the Secre
i tiiry ol Agriculture. Penalties
; would l>c use .. .| against mar
.y. i-Mi
I ed quotas.
f The 760,000 tons of 1948-crop
’ peanuts, pioclaimed as a market
ing quota, is based upon the ac
tual disapcaraitec of cleaned and
, shelled peanuts during the last
m w—M’S*****
disanpi aran ' t rom ; 1947 and
I 948 crop.
Disappearance c* cleaned and
-helled peanut- in 1942 46 averag
ed 678,000 ton , of farmers' stock
j peanuts. About 100,000 tons of
.this aveiage included wartime
purcha es of peanuts and peanut
products by the United States
aunt a .-er\ ,ee plus exports.
| Since tins military demand no
; i1'! itif' ■ t’ \ J ! < JIlil i Xpt/i L't ili i like
I !y to be -mall, the disappearance
I rom the 1948 crop may be only
about 579,000 ton.-', or about the
same as the disappearance from
the 1946 crop.
In addition, it i t xpected that
about 141.000 ton will be requir
ed for st ed, feed, and home use on
farms which produce peanuts;
also that a reasonable allowance
for damaged peanuts is 40,000
ton The three items (disappear
ance of shelled nuts, plus the re
quirements for seed, feed and
home use, plu damaged peanuts)
add up to the 760,000 ton market
ing quota for 1948.

of 654 pounds per acre during the
