Postal Income Increase In
Local Office Last Quarter
After sagging a on during
the first three months in this year,
postal income regained the loss
and forged ahead last quarter to
reach one of the highest business
peaks ever recorded for the three
month period.
Stamp sales fell from $9,708.51
the first three months of last
year to $9,121.67 during January,
February and March of this year.
Last quarter the income from the
sale of stamps climbed from
$8,506.73 in April, May and June,
1949, to $10,070.50, an increase of
$1,563.77.
Possibly a slight increase in
postal rates accounts for the in
crease, but Postmaster W. E.
Dunn is of the opinion that busi • I
ness continues ',o expand in the
territory served by the local of
fice.
Money order business jumped
from $59,271.61 in second quar
ter of 1949 to $61,734.75 last quar
ter, showing an increase of i
$2,463.14. The money order busi
ness handled by the local office
in the first quarter of this year
was about $5,000 less than the
amount handled in the cor
responding quarter of 1949.
Most of the gain in stamp sales
was centered in the months of
May and June. The increase in
money order business was also
centered mainly in the same
months.

spirit of the pioneer heroes who
founded America.” He declared
that unless "We work at the pres
ervation of that spirit our coun
try can’t endure." “Our boys and
girls are the only thing from \
which we can make citizens of to
morrow. We as Kiwanians should
take more interest in public af
te.irs and . th»...*»mplec thinas of
life such as the "ponsorship of
new activities and underprivileg
ed children,” the Governor point
ed out.
The speaker stressed the im
portance of each Kiwanian car
rying out his individual responsi
bilities and obligations as a part
of Kiwanis International. "We

Native Gra»»e* Will Make
Good Latvn In the hast
J. H. Harris, horticulturist with
the State College Extension Serv
ice, says, “If your yard is level
and covered with a fair sod of
■grass, my advice is to leave what
you have and apply plenty of fer
tilizer and lime. If it is kept
mown, you will soon have a thick
sod of native grasses. In the
Piedmont and eastern parts of the
State, some of our most attractive
summer lawns consist of nothing
but native grasses and clovers.
'Each fall these fawns arc seeded
with Italian ryegrass to keep them

Flier From County
rolls Of Bombing
Mission In Korea
Ll. Liu* B. Mallory Say*
l,'xt<*nsivr Bombing
Hauls Arc Mtulr
In one of the first letters writ
ten by ;i Martin County man
(bout the Korean war, Lt. Luo B.
Mallory told his mother, Mrs. Kf
fie Mallory of Oak City, about
the extensive bombing missions
directed against the Red forces
in North Korea. Lt. Mallory, a
World War II veteran, said in his
recent letter that extensive raids
had been directed against the in
vaders, and went on to express
the opinion that while “no one
knows how long this business
will last, many seem to think we
will be through with it within
a few weeks or we really will be
in a big shooting war."
Dispatched during June to an
air force base not too far from
Korea, Lt. Mallory went on to
say that his group had operated
extensively, that they flew fou •
teen out of sixteen days and
chalked up fifty hours in the air
in one week.
Commanding a big bomber, the
young man described a bombing
mission in North Korea on July
5. His plane dumped more than
thirty 500-pound bombs on a
bridge across Hamhung River.
"When the smoke cleared away,1
the bridge was gone. Boy, that
was a beautiful hit if I have ever
seen one; that, is if you can call
such things beautiful.”
The lieutenant told about op
erations leading to the rescue of
eight of eleven airmen who went
down to sea, but nothing was
said about the opposition.
The officer said that the Korean
trouble took nearly everyone by
surprise, but assured his mother
that there was nothing to worry
about unless someone else step
ped in to help the North Koreans.
Official pictures of the big
bombing raid were clipped from
an Army newspaper and forward
ed to Mrs. Mallory. One picture
shows the big mobs falling on the
target, and a second picture shows
the spot where the bridge once
stood.
Several other Marlin county
young men are ir\ the Korean
I area, but little has been heard
from them since the invasion.

Crops Are Damaged

Slight Damage By
Electrical Storm
And Wind Friday
llruvy Hail Krporl
nl In Goose Nesl Ami
Ollu*r Areas
Mail, striking for the third time
in the county this season, did con
siderable damage to crops in
Goose Nest Township about the
middle of the afternoon last Fri
day. Lightning and strong wind
aggravated the damage, reports
stated.
Incomplete reports point to
about forty hail losses in the Oak
City-Palmyra area during the
storm last Friday. The damage ap
parently was centered on the Riv
er Road, the Smith Brothers, N. M
Hyman, Henry Early, Perlic
Manning and others in that sec
tion being quoted as saying that
the damage was extensive on
their farms. Adjustments are be
ing made today by insurance com
pany representatives but no of
fical report on the losses could be
had immediately. Samples of dam
age losses could be had immed
iately. Samples of damage stalks
taken from a field on the old
Hopkins farm about three miles
west of Oak City had leaves
either badly punctured or broken
and a few or none left undameged.
The hail was said to have crack
ed window glass and battered
automobile tops.
There was some hail in Cross
Hoads Township and in the Farm
Life section of Griffins, but the
resulting damage was said to have
been light. ' -
Wind blew down a few shel
ters and trees, but the damage
was negligible.
Lightning struck several places,
but no one was hurt and damage
I was limited. A relay in the elec
trical system at the Roanoke Riv
er bridge was burned out by
lightning, and the bridge had ti
be turned manually about (i:0C
o'clock. The equipment was re
paired and back in use before the
bridge was turned for anothei
boat at 10:00 o’clock that even
ing.
The liiiiI damage was the third
.if serious consequence in the
uunty this year. On June 19
Tops were damaged in some sec
tions of Griffins and Bear Grass
1'ownship, and on July 14 hail
-truck a number of farms in the
m the Popular Point Area. Boss
Popular Point Area. Losses in
Popular Point ran as high as
11,1)75, several losses rangeing up
to about $800 there.
It is estimated that there have
been between 150 and 200 hail
losses in the county this year.
The damage runs well up into
the thousands of dollars, but no
estimates on the loss could be
had.
The main damage to tobacco,
however, is traceable to excess
ive rains, some observers esti
mating the damage at a million
or more dollars in this county.
Tobacco is yellowing rapidly in
the fields and farmers are find
ing it impossible to handle the
harvest on time, causing con
siderable lojs in both poundage
and quality. Burn room, ordinari
