In Recent Years
Water System Revenue Has
Been Inereasetl Ten

* -*
In a talk to the Rotary Club
Tuesday noon, R. E,- Manning,
superintendent of the town's wa
ter and street departments, re
viewed the history of the two
municipal agencies and touched
briefly on the town’s future water
source.
The superintendent explained
that the town was handling a
paving program back in 1929, that
♦ he went with the street and water
department that spring for inter
im employment. The 1929 crash
came and he remained.
At that time there, were five
town employees, including two
policemen and a clerk. At the
present time there are fifteen em
ployes in the street and water de
partments.
Tilt . ww.ter department was
hardly more than a trinkle a
quarter century ago and the in
♦come from the water sales aver
aged about SHOO a month. Now
the water sales average more
than $6,000 a month. In 1929, the
system had a pumping capacity
of 300 gallons per, minute, and
guaranteed storage was only
75,000 gallons. The system now
has a 1,500-gallon pumping capac
ity per minute now and a storage
capacity of 450,000 gallons, the
superintendent explained. There
0 are now 1,364 active accounts and
more are being added daily.
Discussing water sources, the
superintendent explained that the
water table w»as falling, that deep
well's can't be sunk deeper lhan
360 feet on account of salt con
tent below' that point. However,
several more wells can be sunk
I with a maximum potential return.
It was pointed out thdt possibly
in time, a filter plant will have to
be provided with the Roanoke as
a source of supply. Wells cost
about $^5,000 and maintenance is
negligible. A filter plant would
cost more than half million dol
lars and operation costs could be
expected to be high.
Since 1929, the water system
has been greatly expanded, near
ly seven miles of six-and eight
inch pipe having been added to it.
There are 135 fire hydrants, the
pipe being valued at $2 a foot
♦ laid and the hydrants and con
nections at $150 each installed.
On an average, 350,000 gallons
nf water are pumped through the
mains each day at the present
time, while the summer consump
lion approximates nearly half
million gallons daily.
The street department is
swamped with problems, the su
perintendent pointed out. "We are
possibly the largest town in the
State without a street sweeper,
♦ leaving us with bare hands and
brooms to keep clean four miles
of paved streets,” Manning said.
There are about 22 miles of
streets in the town, and 7,996 feet
of curb and gutter have been laid
in fairly'recent times with the
possibility that street paving will

Plans Going Forward For
County Fair November 3rd
According to reports released
by several of the co-chairman,
plans are rapidly going forward
for the Martin County Fair sched
uled here for the week beginning
Nov. 3rd. This affair is being
sponsored jointly by the local
Lions and Kiwanis Clubs.
All displays and concessions
will be in the New Carolina ware
house, while the rides will be on
the vacant lots adjacent. A rep
sentative is expected to contact
with the Virginia Greater Shows
to provide the rides and other
outside amusements.
The elaborate premuim book
is about ready for the printers
and should be ready for mailing
within the next several days. The
committee states that they plan
to mail 300 of the books. Approx
imately one thousand dollars in
prizes is being offered to the va
rious exhibitors.
The floor plan committee has
completed their work of diagram
ming the warehouse, and there
will be space for over 30 booths,
ranging in size from 10 to 20 feet
wide and corresponding depths.
The larger booth spaces went on
sale this week, and Co-chairman
John Henry Edwards announced
last night that eight of the nine
I large spaces were sold already.
Among the firms purchasing
space were the Dixie Motor Co.,
Roanoke Chevrolet Co., Williams
ton Motor Company., Everett -
Matthews Co. of Hamilton, Red
dick Equipment Co., Charles H.
Jenkins and Co., Williamston
Tractor apd Implement Co.
The entertainment committee is
I busy engaged in arranging “free
I acts or programs" for each eve
ning, to be presented on a stage to
be erected in the warehouse, and
| several outstanding attractions
are expected to be booked.
All in all, it appears that this
fair will become one to rival the
annual Martin County fairs of
yesteryear, with the exception of
horse racing. Those desiring to
enter exhibits in the various
classes are urged to contact the
tail committee as soon as possi
ble.

"I enjoy the services of the
OHM Bookmobile. 1 am a high
school girl and the only books I
get to lead are those from the
bookmobile. Since 1 began read
ing these books, I have had sever
al reading certificates at school.
1 read a lot during the summer
and the librarians help me get the
kinds of books I like. The book
mobile has been a great advan
tage to me in my education."
Those are the words of Marilyn
Gibbs from Swan Quarter in
Hyde County.
Those are the sentiments of
many, many people in Beaufort,
Hyde and Martin Counties, for
whom this Regional Library is
named. For Eleven years this free
rural library service has once
each month travelled straight to
the doorways of people of these
three counties.
In July, 1941, the BUM Region
al Library was organized. It was
the culmination of much plan
ning 'ami hiii fl vwjnrofrntPTlKi 11
of citizens from the three coun
ties concerned. County commis
sioners apropriated money to meet
requirements for money from the
State. Resources were pooled and
the BHM Regional Library began
operation. It has the distinction
of being the first regional library
in North Carolina.
A bookmobile makes this li
brary service possible for all peo
ple, e ven in the remotest corners
of the rc gion. The present one, a
converted Chevrolet truck, is the
second one used for thi: service.
Rain or shine, it makes a month
ly circuit of approximately 1400
miles. It serves each county in
turn. Beaufort eight days, Mar
tin seven days and Hyde five
days. Unless a road is impassable,
it never misses a regular schedule.
The bookmobile, on the road
every week day, is hailed with
joy by all people, young and old
It is an occasion anticipated from
one month to the next. At the
sound of its horn, people came
from all directions. They arrive
with wagons, boxes, baskets and
push carts to exchange the books
they have read for another

Twenty Charged
With Violating
The Speed Laws
Several are Fined Bui Judg*
i nient SiiHpciided In
Mu»t Of the Case*
-«
Nearly everyone is in a hurry,
i but twenty motorists slowed down
at least long enough to pay off in
the Martin County Recorder's
Court last Saturday when they
! were booked for speeding.
The speeding cases had accum
ulated while the Superior Court
was in session during the past two
i weeks, but apparently there wits
a renewed driving against the
practice of making race tracks
out of the streets and highways
in this county.
Most of the defendants pleaded
guilty and in just about all the
cases, judgment was suspended
upon the payment of the $22.05
court costs.
The speeding case of Ivory
Johnson Keyes,, pending in the
courts since last June 23, was nol
pressed. However, it is subject to
be recalled at any time.
Phillip Spencer White of RFD
3, Windsor, pleaded not guilty. He
was adjudged guilty and judg
ment was suspended upon the
payment of the costs.
William Oscar Bowers of Ports
mouth, charged with speeding 75
miles an hour, was fined $25, plus
costs.
Pleading guilty of speeding 75
miles per hour, William Harvey
Heagerty of St. Petersburg, Fla.,
was fined $15, plus costs.
The following defendants, cha -
ged with speeding, pleaded guilty
of speeding 65 miles an hour less

Rating For School
At Robersonville
—♦—
The Robersonville Grammar
School has again been given the 1
rating by the State Department of
Education. The Robersonville
school received the 1 rating in
j 1950 at which time there were
I only 23 other schools in the State
with the 1 rating.
In 1950 Robersonville Grammar
School was the only white Gram
mar school in Martin County that
was accredited by the State De
partment. The 1 rating is based
on instruction and organization,
administration, curriculum, in
structional equipment, building
and grounds and professional
study program. In his report to
the county, Homer Lassiter, Edu
cational Supervisor of the Divis

Minor Vehicle Accident
At Oak City School
-—
A property damage estimated at
about $40 resulted when Melvin
Earl Jones ran into a parked
school bus on a drive at the Oak
City Negro High School Tuesday
morning. Driving a 1929 model
car, Jones ripped away a door
on the bus. Several passengers
were in the bus but no one was
hurt. Patrolman B. W. Parker
said following his investigation.
Jones was booked for reckless
driving.
THE RECORD I
SPEAKS . . ._|
During the: past five years,
motorists on Martin County
highways and streets have
mure than doubled the acci
dent rate and tripled the pro
erty loss. And the accident
trend continues to climb
steadily. The number injur
ed is increasing also, but the
loss of life is not as great
now as it was a few years
back. Accidents were report
ed at the rate of almost one ,
a day during September of
this year. The property loss
last month, conservatively
estimated at 910.000 is more
than the entire county vol
unteers for various charity
and civic causes during an
entire year.
The following tabulations
offer a comparison of the ac
cident trend: first, by corres

Fire Prevention Week Will
Be Observed In The Nation
Appealing to the people of this
community for a meaningful ob
servance of fire prevention week,
beginning Sunday, Fire Chief G,
P. Hall pointed out that extra
care should attend the operation
of oil-burning heaters.
Approximately three-fourths of
the calls received by the fire de
partment last wipfter were to
those homes equipped with the
heaters. The use of the heaters is I
not at all dangerous if properly
handled, it was explained.
On those days when the tem
perature was not too low, house
wives would run the heaters on
low. A gust of wind would blow
out the flame and oil would ac
cumulate. When lighted again,
the burner would go out of con
trol and threaten the home.
For a long while wooden shin
gle roofs invited fire, but that
danger has been greatly eliminat
ed by the installation of fire-re
sistant shingles. Now, the more
or less careless use of oil-burning
stoves is responsible for many
calls received by the fire depart
ment.
No observance program has
been planned here during the
week, but the fire chief and all
the volunteer firemen ask the
people of the community to help
prevent fires by removing rub-1
bish and correcting any and all
fire traps.

Will Start Work
On New Project
Within Few Days
Addition Will Make Plant
Our Of Largest
In Southeast
The Standard Fertilizer Cont
I puny, a division of the Mathieson
Chemieal Corporation, is rapidly
completing plans for a large ad
dition to and the modernization of
its plant here on Roanoke River,
according to information released
this week by Mr C. G Crockett,
Sr., division manager of the Ma
thieson Chemieal Corporation.
Plans for the project are near
ling completion, and tentative ar
I rangements have been made for
lhandling the construction, it was
i learned Machinery was put into
j use last week making roads, pre
: paratorv to starting actual con
Istruction work within the next
few days.
The plans call for the construc
! tion of a fourth unit to the pre
sent plant. Measuring 120 by 220
feet, the addition is to be located
just to the southeast of the pre
sent structure. In addition to pro
viding storage for several thou
sand tons of unmixed fertilizer
materials, the new unit will mix
all fertilizer and dclivei it to the
three mills presently located in
the old structure where it will be
held for rapid bagging and quick
delivery, it was explained.
The company plans to use all
local labor and Mr J. C. Gurkin
is to supervise construction of the
new plant.
It is estimated that the new un
! it will have a capacity of mixing
| sixty tons per hour.
| In addition to the new unit, the
company is making plans to mod
ernize its operations in the three
old units. The unloading tower on
the wharf is to be replaced and
the capacity increased from twen
ty-five to about one hundred tons
per hour Railway cars, used for
moving fertilizer materials from
barges, are to be replaced bv con
veyors.
Cost estimates have not been
completed, but the project is ex
pected to run approximately a
quarter million dollars, according
to unofficial imformation.
Experiencing an ever-increas
ing business, the company has en
larged its plant from time to
time, and the latest move is cer
tain to push the supply of ferti
lizer up to the demand, eliminat
ing delivery bottlenecks and mak
ing an efficient service available
to the firm's thousands of patrons.
In addition to its fertilizer
works, the company is figuring
prominently in insecticide manu
facturing. A mixing plant was
first built, and this year a manu
facturing chemical plant was
built and placed in operation at
the plant here on Roanoke River.
"If everything goes according
to schedule, we hope to have the
enlarged anil modernized fertiliz
er plant in operation in time for
use during the sprmgdelmwv
season,” Mr. R. W Hondurant,
manager of production and opera
tions, said yesterday.

Kevin'd Stumluril \
Of Bible Received With
Great Acclaim
The Revised Standard Version
of the Bible was received with
great acclaim at a public meet
ing held in the nign school aud
itorium here last Tuesday evening
when nearly seven hundred per
sons from all parts of this coun
ty assembled for the unique pro
gram. A supply of the new edition,
necessarily limited, was just about
exhausted, the meeting itself re
flecting a growing interest in
things spiritual.
Several ministers from various
parts of the county, including the
Rev R E Ferguson and Wilbur
Wallace of Roberson villi', the
Rev. E. Cl. Conklin, Thus. L. Hast
ings, R E Walston, J Don Skin
ner, W C. Medlin and John L.
Goff of Williamston, and the Rev.
W. B Harrington, county Baptist
minister, participated in the ser
vice, and Miss Mary Wallace
Fnyc's glee club sang Mendels
sohn's “Festival Song."
Five of the new Bibles were
distributed by the Ministerial As
sociation to Mrs J C. Cooke of
Williamston and Mrs Walter L.
Swindell of Robersonville for li
brary service, Mayor R. H Cowen
I for public service, Fletcher G.
Thomas, for service as president
of the Williamston Parent-Teach
er Association, and to J. W. Snead,
for his service as a Bible teacher.
Making the main talk of thu
evening, the Rev. Mr. Wallace,
who recently entered upon his
new duties as pastor of the Rob
ersonville Christian Church, re
viewed briefly the history of tho
Bible and advanced two main
reasons, supporting the introduc
tion of the revised standard ver
I sion of the Bible
1 He pointed out that word mean
lings change, that while the basic
| meaning of the Bible was left un
I touched, its wording was altered
j to make it more understandable
| to persons in all walks of life He
i also explained that much pro
gress had been made in the field
of religious science, that old man
uscripts had been newly discov
ered, that the new translation
1 was based on a collection of the
I old versions along with the newly
discovered manuscripts.
Supported by the National
Council of Churches, the tremend
ous undertaking was handled by U
group of thirty-two responsible
scholars who had worked twen
tv-two years completing the work,
the minister explained.
"Now, that we have the new
Bible, what will we do with it?"
the minister asked, pointing out
that "only as we read and under
stand the Bible will it achieve its
great purpose." He predicted that
the celebration, observed in fifty
thousand communities throughout
the nation during the day, marked
the beginning of the most inten
sive Bible study period ever
known.
