G.M. Cancer Fund
•
^^Toncluding a very successful
drive a shor* time ago, General
Motors car dealers in the nation
last week presented one and one
half million dollars to Mr. Alfred
Sloan for the promotion of re
search in cancer through the
Sloan Foundation and the Sloan
Kettering Institute.
Reporting the movement to al
leviate the suffering of millions,
Mr. John Henry Edward', local
Chevrolet dealer, said that dealers
in the Carolinas-Georgia-Florida
district contributed.ov^.r $.100,000
to the fund to hold third place
among the districts in the nation.
The fund raised by the car deal
ers for cancer research in addition ,
to the regular nation-wide cancer
program, was presented to Mr.
Sloan in New York last week by
representatives of the dealers. Mr.
Chas. H. Jenkins, local dealer, was

Make Plans For Red Cross
; Fund Drive In the Chapter
I
Meeting with a group of can
I vassers and other citizens in the
office of the county superintend
ent of schools this week, Garland
Woolard, chairman, made prelim
inary plans for advancing the an
nual Red Cross Fund Drive in the
Martin County Chapter, starting
the first of March.
The chapter is being asked to
raise $2,704 this year or about the
same amc/unt raised last year and
about one-third the sum raised
during the peak war years.
Succeeding C. B. Clark, Jr., as
fund drive chairman, Mr. Woolard
is diiecting an appeal to all the
people in the chapter to help push
the drive over the top during the
first days in March. Mr. Woolard
pointed out that outside the war
I years, the Red Cross had spent far
| more money in the chapter than
! the chapter had raised. Thousands
j of dollars were sent into the coun
ty to help relieve those who suf
1 fered losses during tornadoes ani
in flood relief. The chairman als
! pointed out that the organizatioi
! is carrying An in other parts of th
1 nation, extending relief to storr
' victims and others w'ho have ex
! perienced catastrophes and adver
sity. In addition to that work, th
organization continues to extern
a service to people right in th
chapter, and that load is far great
. er than the public generally real
I izes. Last year the several dis
tricts made the following contri
butions: Jamesville, $237; Wil
liams, $52; Bear Grass, $149; Grif
fins, $175; Williamston, $1,587; col
ored schools: Dardens, $50; James

Speedsters Caught
Literally Aiming
Auto On Highway
j1 Eighteen Speedsters Are
) Fined $355 In County
i Court Last Monday
——<$>
Eighteen alleged speedsters
; were in the county court last Mon
i day, the court setting a new high
i record for any one week in many
months. Judge Chas. Man
! ning imposed fines in- the total
amount/jf $355.
One defendant, flying low at
ninety miles an hour, was said to
.have been literally "aiming” his
icar down the highway, whizzing
| by other vehicles as il' those ve
hicles were tied.
Another defendant, pleading
guilty and admitting the patrol
man was only doing his duty, ex
plained that he took his eyes off
his rear view mirror for about the
first time since he left Florida on
. his way north. "He was just a
congenial and clever fellow,” an
officer declared.
| Another defendant was employ
I ed by the motor vehicles bureau
I in New York, and while she ad
mitted the speeding charge she
! made it quite plain that a warn
i ing would have been greatly ap
preciated. It was explained that
if such a procedure was followed
it would be just about as well for
the patrolmen to remain at home
,and chop wood.
‘ All of the defendants pleaded
. guilty as charged except one. Bar
! thold George Miller of Amster
■ dam, New York, pleaded not guil
ty. He was found guilty and lined
■ $15 plus $22.05 costs.
' Jesse E. Miller of Miami plead
ed guilty of driving ninety miles
an hour and he was fined $100
i | and taxed with the costs.
• The other defendants, pleading
l guilty, were fined $15 each, as
follows:
I William II. Diana of Wilkes
. Barre, Pa., Jacob Goodman of Mil
fold, Mass., Frances Kartt of
i Brookline, Mass., Abraham Men
, delson of New York City, Robert
Spillman of Edgemere, Long Is
land, New York, Roy B. Wright
of Ridgefield Park, N. J., Howard
Lawrence of South Glen Falls, N.
Y., John Daniel Roberson of RFD

Tarr of Portland, Me., Joseph Gcr
sten of Glen Fulls, N. Y., Else S.
Gottlieb of Jamaica, N. Y„ Gerald
Fisher of Flushing, N. Y., Ralph T.
Wickersham of Toughkenamon,
Pa., Marvin Boyce Roberson of
Robbins, N. C., Howard Javitz of
Long Beach, N. Y., Reginald C.
Fraser of Alpena, Mich.
Most of the defendants posted
bond and forfeited it without ben
efit of trial.
Fairly well convinced that the
speed Taw is one to be enforced,
most North Carolina drivers are
apparently holding their vehicles
within the prescribed limits, and
steering clear of the courts.

Farmers Of State
Supplement Their
Income with Cows
Marlin County Filmin'* K«‘
porti'd 4 ioinnilcring Dairy
ing a* Source of Income
Making a survey of small-scale
dairying, the Progressive Farmer
recently found that quite a few
farmers in this State are supple
menting their income with cows.
The Progressive farmer article,
as submitted by Farmer Gilbert
Rogerson of Bear Grass, reads us
follows:
"When our milk route was start
ed . . is the w;iy many small
dairy farmers begin to tell how
they started producing milk for
sale. In recent years milk routes
Ik ve b i established by the
homes f thousands of Carolinas
Virgiria farmers. "When a cash
mar. et for whole milk was es
daWished at our door, with a check
coming every 'wo wccks, we be
gan to think about keeping more
cows,” they say.
"But there's more to it than just
tbffi 1,11 you.
You’ve got to get ready—more
good pasture and good feed, and
be sure you’re buying or raising
good cows. ■v.vv we’re find
ing that sanitary milking barns
a^d milk rooms are necessary to
meet regulations if we are to get
the higher Grade A milk prices.”
Right now there’s so much in
terest in building dairy barns—
especially small fi- 8-, or 10-cow
barns—that members of our Pro
gressive Farmer staff have gone
out and visited .dairy farmers in
several North Carolina counties,
to lind out ju.it what they are do
ing and thinking. In the Gid Belt
tobacco county of Granville, near
our Raleigh office, an unbeliev
able fyrming evolution is taking
place. So we start with Gran
ville.
In 1041, the Pine State Cream
ery Company put up a milk-col
lecting station at Oxford. It took
some time for folks to find out
they had a milk market, and even
a tobacco farmer could add |
“twice-a-month” milk checks to

Postal Income Last Year
Greater Than 1947 Total
..- ' -
Postal income at the local of fin
reached the highest figure on re
cord last year when stamp sale:
amounted to $36,855.82, breakini
the record of $36,831.56 in 1945 by
$24.36, according to informatior
gained a few days ago from Post
master W. E. Dunn. After reach
ing a record of $36,831.56 in 1945
stamp sales dropped by $1,383.81
, in 1948, but started climbing ir
1947 when income was $35,834.51
j The record was established Iasi
! year despite a decrease of nearly
$700 m the first quarter from the
sales recorded in the first three
| months of 1947. Second quartet
. sales last year gained considerably
[ over those in the corresponding
period of 1947, but the big jump
‘ was noti-d in the third quarter,
the increase amounting to $1,500.
; While stamp sales reached an
; j all-time figure in the post office
| here, mail order or C. O. D. busi
i1 ness dropped from $328,823.42 in
1947 to $289,(308.31 in 1948, most of
the decrease coming in the fourth
quarter when the figures fell from
1 $110,914.71 in 1947 to $84,053.72 for
the last three months in 1948. In
only one quarter—the second—
did the money order business last
year exceed that of 1947 and tire
gain there was small.
Williamston’s $36,855.82 stamp
sales compare with one or two
other towns in this section of the
State as follow s: Plymouth, $23,
762; and Ahoskic, $35,688.
Bride And Groom
Surmount Problem
After subscribing to the marital
vows in the church here, Mr. and
Mrs. J. O. Manning, Jr., encount
ered baffling difficulties before I
starting their wedding trip.
Leaving the church they found
their car securely fastened to a
wrecker. The driver of the wreck
er, offering a polite and well plan
ned .salute, was quoted as saying,
“Mr. Blue, I'll take you anywhere
you want to go.”
The trip was started with a lead
car with friends riding in a good
ly number of cars falling in line
to form a parade behind the ■
wrecker and the bridal couple’s!
auto. The parade moved through j
the principal streets several times
and was finally brought to a halt I
a short distance from here on the
Washington highway about an'
hour later. There the young
couple found that someone had re j
moved the car keys and were ad
vised that the keys would not be
produced until the location of the I
car they were to use on the brid-!
al trip was revealed.
Taking the initiation exercises
good-naturedly, the couple ex
plained that the advance car was
between Washington and New
Bern, and they were then allowed
to go their way.
Good Fishing In

While individual fishermen
have been busy with their fishing
during the warm days earlier in

Employers Report
Tax Information
—_•—
Every three months employers
are required to file tax returns re
porting the name, .social security
number and amount of wage paid

to report part time as full-time
workers.
Employees...ton have a shave of
responsibility. They should be
sure that their names and social

his benefit will be lower than that
to which he eould have been en

Charge Juveniles
^ ith Robbery of
Rivover Less Than $200 of
$400 Stolen From Safe
There Sumlay
Three colored boys, Walter Lee
Purvis, 17, John Russell Purvis,
13, and Preston Howell, 13, were
taken into custody yesterday by
Sheriff C. B. Roebuck and ques
tioned in connection with the theft
of $400 in cash and checks from
the Forbes Service Station in Gold
Point last Sunday afternoon.
Operating the station without
help during most of the day, Hay
wood Ross opened the iron safe
that morning to make change and
did not lock it. That evening
when he closed the station he
missed the money.
A lead in the case was establish
ed when the youngsters started
flashing money, and confessions
were quickly gained from Walter
and John Purvis, but apparently
they did not tell the truth all the
way.
When Walter Lee was arrested
he had $13 on his person, declar
ing that John R. stole the money
and gave him $15. He explained
that he had spent $2 but knew
where John R. had hidden most of
the money. The officers detained
John R. and he admitted taking
the money, declaring that he
worked at the direction of Walter
Lee. John R. had no money cn his
person when arrested. Going to
Parmele, the officers took Preston
Howell out of school. The little
fellow had no money on his per
son at the time, but he went home
and produced $25 which John R.
had requested him to keep for
him.
Taking the boys, the officers
and Mr. Forbes went to Remus
Everett’s tobacco barn and there
they fbund $150 in cash, Walter
Lee declaring that John R. hid it
there and John R. declaring that
Walter Lee hid it there.
The case developed splendidly
up to that point, and when the
boys were asked about the re
mainder of the money, they mov
ed about a mile away to another
tobacco barn, but only a lone dol
lar bill was found there. It is pos
sible that someone learned about
the hiding place and stole it ahead
of the officers oi Walter Lee is
holding some of it back. It v/as
reported that he had talked about
buying a motorbike earlier in the
week.
Questioned further, the beys
showed the officers where $46.25
in checks were hidden in the grass
back of tlie service station. It is
estimated that $235.25 is still miss
