Suitable Garbage
Disposal System
Suggests Ei}for<*eiiuyiil ol
Kat Ordinance and Covers
For Garbage Cans
Pledging its cooperation, a spec
ial committee from the local Wo
man's Club very cordially directed
a meaningful appeal or directive
to the town officials for action al
a meeting of the board Tuesday
evening.
With Mrs, Joanna Martin as its
spokesman, the committee sug
gested a three-point program and
went so far as to say that it would
circulate a petition for a tax rate
increase for one year to finance
those three points. The spokes
man opposed a bond issue sugges
tion.
In accordance with resolutions
adopted by the club, the special
committee pointed out that the
present garbage disposal system
was inadequate, unsightly and in
sanitary, and pleaded for a suit
able disposal method. It was sug
gested that possibly a land system
or a trench system would meet the
need of the town, that the project
could be financed with ten or
twelve thousand dollars.
The committee called for the en
forcement of the recently-passed
anti-rat ordinance, and urged cov
ered metal garbage containers for
every home or establishment. It
was suggested that some type of
cover he used on the present gar
bage trucks, and that the present
equipment be replaced, in time,
with regular garbage trucks.
In accordance with the commit
tee requests, the board ordered
covers placed on the garbage
trucks and instructed the super
intendent of the department to
have garbage and cans sprayed
with DDT. A survey of garbage
containers is to be made with the
possibility that all places will be
required to provide and properly
maintain garbage cans. 'The clufc
committee is calling for a report,
and it is fairly apparent that strict
enforcement of the ordinance will
he demanded.
The garbage disposal system
has been studied and investigated
from many angles over a period
of years, and costs to finance an
ideal plan, it was found, will run
into fairly big money. The system
proposed by the Woman’s Club
committee calls for a fairly large
tract of land and a bulldozer tc
cover the garbage. The board
agreed to investigate the proposals
further and exploit every possi
bility for improving the present
system. It was pointed out that
the present garbage dump is be
ing "abused” by individuals, that

Twenty-Three In
County Court For
Hi'way Speeding
•—^—
Same Consideration Shown
Tourists As Accorded
The Home Folks
Alleged speedsters on the state
highways in this county had an
other day in court this week when
(wenty-three were called to an
swer before Judge Chas. H. Man
ning. Three of those whose cases
were called did not answer and
action against them was continu
ed.
Stopped on U. S. 17 a few days
ago after being clocked by Patrol
men Powers and Rowe at 74 miles
an hour over a six-mile course, a
tourist talked “mighty ugly,” but
his eyes brightened when he was
assured that tourists were given
every consideration. “Tourists are
charged no more for speeding than
are the home folks,” the patrol
man assured him. The speedster
posted bond and continued on his
way.
Thomas Bennett of Sumter,
South Carolina, did not report
when called. The case against
Chas. Richard Southerner of
Greensboro was continued until
next Monday along with one
charging John Brown with speed
ing.
Charged with careless and reck
less driving along with speeding,
William Darling Meeks was fined
$40 and required to pay the costs.
Everett Alford Richman, Jr., of
Elizabeth City, was fined $35 and
taxed with the costs fot speeding.
Charged with speeding and
operating a motor vehicle without
a driver's license, Orlander Green,
Jr., was fined $50 and taxed with
the costs.
Daniel Jos. Hassell of Columbia
was fined $25 and taxed with the
costs.

Ask $1,000 For County’s
Crippled Children
■ A
LUDLOW SPLIT crippled chil i
A goal of $1000 00 has been set
for the 16th annual Easter Seal
Sale, Rev. Jim Lowry, chairman
'■f the drive, sponsored by the
Martin County Crippled Child
ren’s Society, announced today.
The sale of the Easter Seals is now
undei way and will end Easter
Sunday, April 17.
Rev. Lowry said records reveal
55 crippled children registered in
Martin County. ' Each child should
have the opportunity to build up
all normal faculties and to outwit
disabilities through rehabilita
tion,’’ Rev. Lowry said. "Proper
schooling, recreation, and voca
tional guidance must be provided
so that each individual cap be
come a useful and self-sustaining
citizen.”
The Martin County Society is an
affiliate of the North Carolina
Society for Crippled Children, one
of more than 2,000 member units
of the National Society for Crip
p-ed c*iddi erl and adults. Easter
Seals help to sponsor not only
crippled and deaf children, but
also national programs to benefit
the cerebral palsied and other ne
glected disabled groups.
Rev. Lowry added, "It is a prin
ciple of our Democratic system
that the weak are not eliminated
by the strong, but are given an
equal chance to participate in our
society.”
In a report released this week,
the treasurer of the fund stated
that $1,025.28 was spent last year
for the treatment of needy crip
pled children in this county, that
ane pathetic case alone cost $400.
I'he money was spent for club
foot shoes, braces, transportation,
hospital treatment and other ne
cessities the helpless were unable
to provide for themselves. The
Fund has a small balance, but
every cent of the $1,000 asked for
in the current drive is needed and
can materially help a number of
cnildren who can't help them
selves. The fund is administered
Ui expedite laic.
Local Ministerial Group
Plans Holy Week Services
- - —<*>
By E. R. Shuller, Secretary
There will be no special night
services other than those planned
by the individual churches during I
Holy Week. Services are planned j
for each morning at 10:00 o’clock, I
begininng Monday, April 11, and
running through Friday, April 15,
at the Viccar Theatre.
The speakers for these services
will be as fallows: Monday, Rev.
John L. Gc4'f; Tuesday, Rev. J.
Thad Ashley; Wednesday, Rev.
Stewart B. Simms; Thursday, Rev.
James I. Lowry ; Fr/day, Rev. E. R.
Shuller. The speakers for Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday will
go to the High School to speak to
the student body at 10:30.
The people of the town have
supported these services in a very
fine way in past years and it. is
anticipated that the response will
be as good as any previous year
if not better. It has been custom
ary for those business firms
which cannot close for the thirty
minute period between 10:00 and
10:30 to get along witlV as small
working force as possible so that
the other workers would have (he
privilege of attending the service.
This same spirit of cooperation
" ill be greatly appreciated again
this year.
An Easter sunrise service will
be held as usual and will be under
the direction of Rev. James I.
Lowry.

Charge Nine With
Operating Autos
Without Licenses
-O'*- —
Drivers Continue To Take
Chanees Despite Set Fine
Ami Large Court Cost
Despite the appearance of de
fendants in the county court near
ly every Monday for allegedly
operating motor vehicles without
drivers’ licenses, quite a few driv
ers continue to take chances. Some
maintain they have been licensed
by other states to operate motor
vehicles, but are unable to pro
duce the permits. Others claim
they operate under licenses issued
by the armed forces. But most of
them go into court without any
excuse, leaving them no other al
ternative except to plead guilty,
and pay a fine of $25 fixed by law
plus large court costs.
"*1777 cases in wftictTTITrra&IIWWP

motor vehicles without drivers’ li

could determine who was driving
the vehicle'trie driver stopped
and got out with his companion.
Luke Council, whose driver’s li

was convicted of drunken driving
some time ago, said he was driv

make certain that the identity of
the driver could be determined, I
the patrolman cited Council to |
court along with the companion,]
William Henry Randolph. In!
court, Randolph pleaded guilty of

Council was found not guilty.
Quite a few non-lieensed drivers
apparently believe it is all right
to operate cars on town streets
even without driver’s licenses, and
the court has ruled that it is un

Predict Big Vote
In Town Primary
Election Monday
Polls Open From 6:30 a.
ni. Until 6:30 p. m. In
The City Hall
Williamston citizens are expect
ed to go to the polls in record
numbers next Monday to virtually
select their town governing offic
ials for the next two years. While
no “hot” issues have been advanc
ed and the short campaign has
been without nyudslinging, most of
the fifteen candidates—thirteen
for commissioners and two for
mayor—have been active in their
appeals for votes, addressing di- J
reet mail pleas, public solicita
tions and “button holing” the
electorate in behalf of their cam
paigns. The extensive campaign
is certain to bring out more than
the approximately 900 votes cast
in the town's first primary elec
tion two years ago. With between
1,400 and 1,500 names on the
books, including 239 placed there
is expected that 1,000 or more
during the recent registration, it
votes will be cast in the primary
next Monday.
The polls, located in the City
Hal), will be open from 6:30
o’clock that evening. The large
ballot and a heavy vote will make
the vote tabulation fairly late, in
all probability.
The voters are charged with the
task of nominating, which is tan
tamount to electing, five commis
sioners from the following group:
Ben Courtney, K. D. Worrell,
John H. Gurganus, Roy L Wip'd,
Leman Barnhill, C. H. Godwin,
Sr., Julian Harrell, David Moore,
W. O. Griffin, N C. Green, David
Davis, L. Closs Roberson and M
M. Levin, and one of the following
lor mayor: Robt. H, Cowcn and W.
Iverson Skinner.
One candidate for commissioner
reportedly announced his inten
tion to withdraw, but the request
j came after the ballots were pre
pared. No statement accompanied
the request.
Although apparently not gener
| ally circulated, some “accusations”
| have been heard, bringing forth
public answers in the campaign.
The campaign, however, has been
without animosity and kept free
of dirty "dirt,” the candidates and
the people generally having ex
pressed healthy interest in provid
ing the town with a capable gov
erning body.
The election is wide open and
has the old politicians scratching
their heads for a guess, reports
declaring that the candidates are
claiming nothing and that the peo
ple are saying even less.

O'clock Thursday
Mrs. B. S. Cowin, well-known
citizen of Bear Grass Township,
died at her home there Wednes
day morning at 11:30 o’clock fol
lowing an illness of about one
month. Suffering a heart attack
about a month ago, she partially
recovered and was getting along
very well until Sunday when her
condition became worse. She suf
fered two attacks Monday and her
condition had been critical since
that time Prior to the first at
tack, Mrs. Cowin was apparently
in good health.
The daughter of the late Levi
and Patsy Corey Rogers, she was
born in Bear Grass Township 68
years ago last October, and spent
her entire life there. The former
Miss Dicey Louallie Rogers, she
attended school in the community
and was married on March 15,
1889, to Mr. Cowin, a schoolmate
who was later to figure promi

Church in this and other states.
They quietly observed then gol
den wedding anniversary last

was planned for the event on ac
count of the minister’s feeble
health. A splendid citizen and
neighbor, Mrs. Cowin opened her
home and entertained religious
leaders and friends in great num

Plan To Locate
New Hospital On
Rhodes Property
—♦.
Town Limits Extension
Back.Yonder Would Have
Solved The Problem
Going ahead with their plans to
construct a modern 30-bed hos
pital here, Drs. J S. Rhodes, Jr.,
Chas. I. Harris and J. T. Llewellyn
appeared before the regular meet
ing of town commissioners Tues
day evening an discussed the pos
sibility of running a sewer line
to the proposed site on Liberty
Street just off North Haughton on
the Rhodes property.
The petitioners explained that
the State Board of Health had rul
ed out septic tanks, that a connec
tion with the present system or
a costly disposal plant would be
required. Other plans were
briefly discussed, including a
pumping system to force sewage
into the present system, but the
board decided to call in town en
gineers to make a study of the
problem and discuss the plan fur
ther with the hospital promoters.
A special meeting of the board
will be called just as soon as the
engineers can make a survey and
file their report.
One of the doctors expressed the
opinion that the problem would
have been solved had plans ad
vanced almost two years ago gone
through for extending the town
limits to include that area just
nurth of the present town limits.
It was proposed at that time to
run a main sewer line from the
river up the Whitley Canal ravine
to serve the North Haughton area,
including property on Liberty,
Franklin, Lee, Jackson and other
streets, and on around to the West
Main Street section and possibly
West End. That plan was shouted
down, and the'commissioners at
the meeting Tuesday evening did
not discuss its revival. It is un
derstood that the survey planned
immediately will be limited in
scope, that there is a possibility
that a connection with the present
system can be effected with a line
starting on Liberty Street and
running back of the ball park on
around the edge of the old Dinah
Hill farm down Henderson Street
to East Main Street. If that line
is possible, then a large portion of
the property just inside the town
limits in the North Haughton area
eventually could be served, but
the plan would not fit into the
original proposal.

Estimate Cost Of
Coltrain Trial
According to estimates coming
from the courthouse here this
week, the John R. Coltrain trial
last week and the week before
cost the county approximately $3,

filed claims and that some few
others would not ask for payment.

are presented, it was estimated.
Most of the expense centered
around the special venires, the one
in this county costing nearly $1,
500.
The cost was figured as follows!
