Important Farm Elections
In County On December 14
Martin County farmers along
with thousands of others will pass
on important matters when they
go to the polls on Thursday of
this week and elect committee
men to handle their affairs un
der the Production-Marketing
Administration Act and decide
the fate of peanut quotas for the
future.
The polling places in this coun
ty will be open from 11:00 a. m.
until (i:00 p. m. in each community
and it is expected that a large
vote will be cast.
While some uncertainty sur
rounds the future of the peanut, it
has been pointed out that the de
feat of quotas will virtually ruin
the growers in this and adjoining
states. Even it classifications arc
not established, quotas will be
necessary if the grower of Vir
ginia type peanuts is to survive.
There is a possibility that the
program will receive limited sup

To make certain that con
tributions will not be shower
ed on any one person or fam
ily while others are overlook
ed, it has been suggested that
those promoting the Christ
mas Cheer movement clear
their plans with some agency.
The Martin County Welfare
Department has agreed to
help clear the gifts in an ef
ofrt to avoid as many dupli
cations as possible. It was
pointed out this week that at
least two church groups had
planned to help the same fam
ily while another family,
equally deserving of aid, had
been overlooked.
The department will also re
ceive suggestions for extend
ing aid to needy families. If
you know of a needy family,
notify the department without
delay, and the names will be
turned over to those groups
supporting the Christmas
Cheer movement.
Shooting Natch
At River Friday
*-^——
After all kinds of shooting, Bob
Monteith, Tom Brandon, "Toot
sie'' Roberson and Bob Newell
walked off with the turkeys at
•he Kiwanis-sponsored shooting
match at tie river here last Fri
day night There were tour 25
shot rounds, three with shot guns
and one with rifles.
It was a bit cold before they
got a fire going, and the expert
marksmen were hardly up to par.
Tom Brandon, a hunter from way
back, had to shoot three times be
fore he gut a feather. Some green
horn, firing a weapon for about
the third or fourth time in his
life, beat the expert in the first
round. There was all kinds of
shooting, the winners indirectly
admitting theirs was more of the
accidental kind than any other
type. Some of the boys hid their
target cards, and one report said
Elbert Peel, Joe Thrower and
Jodie Woolard had perfect score
cards—not a shot in ’em.
Well, they are going to have an
other shooting match Friday of
this week, and the boys say they
are going to do better, seeing as
how they can do no worse. The
public is invited to attend and
participate in the match, the pro
ceeds of the event going to the
Kiwanis Club's fund for the less
fortunate.

as HARDY STREET and will for
all time be carried as such on the
'official records of the Department
of the Army.
Although this honor is in itself
small compensation for the loss

Limited operations are getting
under way this week at the Texas
Company's new quarter million
dollar terminal on Roanoke River
here, Manager R. B. Gentry ex
plaining that full-seale operating
sehedules would go into effeet as
rapidly as possible. Work is being
rushed to completion on the mod
ern terminal, but, as Manager
Gentry pointed out, it will take
a few days to get all the details
handled and all the kinks "iron
ed out.”
Considering weather conditions
and material shortages, Contsruc
tion Superintendent Bill Dill for
the V. 1’ Loftis Company of Char
lotte, work on the project has ad
vanced even more rapidly than
was expected. The contractors
plan to turn the office forces into
their new building today, and
within a matter of two or three
weeks, the fire wall and fence
will be completed along with
landscaping.
Visiting the plant last week
end, Mr. it. R. Gentry, of the com
pany's Norfolk office, explained
that the property would be im
proved in accordance with the
company's standards. During his
brief stay here, Mr. Gentry said
he was greatly impressed with
this section, that he felt certain
the company’s pleasant dealings
over a long period of years with
the late Messrs. C. A. and George
H. Harrison and more recently
with Mr. Geo. H. Harrison, ,Jr.,
would be enhanced by expanded
operating schedules. He express
ed his appreciation for the cour
tesies shown his company in plan
ning and advancing the project.
The last of the large storage
tanks at the plant are being fill
ed today, and two large trans
ports, now on location, are to
start moving gas out of the new
system this week. Others will be
placed in operation shortly. The
transports were placed in opera
tion a few days ago, moving gas
out of the old tanks purchased
from tin- Harrison Oil Company.
.The old tanks are to be
worked into the new system, giv
ing the company an unusually
large storage capacity in this part
of North Carolina.
Manager R B. Gentry was
transferred here a few days ago
from the company’s operations in
Huntington, West Virginia, lie is
at home with the Carrawa.vs on
