Minor Wrecks On
Roads In County
Two minor wrecks were report
ed on Martin County highways
last week-end. No one was hurt
and property damage was negli
gible.
Last Thursday evening John
Herman Beach, driving on the
Prison Camp Road in his 1941
Chevrolet, sideswiped Jos. Holli
day's 1940 Ford parked beside
the highway near the Price home.
Damage to the Ford was estimated
$&Wtd thug-fo the ..Chevrolet
at $1.5,....'j.c.e.ording to P.atrolnjsm
B. W. Parker who made the in
vestigation.
Friday evening at 8:30, Roscoe
Wiggins of Greenville was driv
ing east on Highway 64 and
struck a loose calf on the high
way at the Snack Shack in Rob
ersonville, doing about $75 dam
age to his 1941 Oldsmobile. Thei
calf, badly injured, was slaugh- i
tered. Patrolman B. W. Parker
made the investigation.

employee and make a report to j
the Commission. If it is found!
that the claimant has received !
benefits during any week, and has i
knowingly falsified his earnings,
a warrant is issued and the claim
unt brought into court.
It is possible for claimants to
secure benefits to which they are
lot entitled, just as it is possible
ror people to steal, kill, or vio
ate other laws, but it is rare that
-laimants get away with viola
lions permanently, just as few

Housing Project
In New York City
The nation's biggest post-war
housing project, a tribute to the
American genius for building, is
celebrating its third birthday with
a population nearing the 50,000
mark. What is now Levittown,
Long Island, was largely potato
farms in the summer of 1947. Then
the family firm of Levitt and Sons
—Abraham Levitt and his sons,
Alfred and William — started
building low-cost houses there.
Today Levittown is a complete
garden community with over 13,

big playgrounds, handball courts,
softball fields, a complete pro
fessional-size baseball park, and
five interior village green shop
ping centers. The Levitts already
have given, or will give, all the
recreational facilities to the peo
ple of the community. The two
bedroom house, with expansion
attic for two more bedrooms and
bath, came complete with electric
stove, refrigerator, automatic
washing machine — and this year
with television — for $7,990. The
Levitts did it through intelligent
management, brilliant planning,
and bv bringing America’s assem
bly line, mass production methods
to the antiquated business. As one
expert put it, Levittown is an ex
ample of extraordinary vision and
smart business management.
