There were about one < dozen In the county yesterday < to mark what is likely to be the last big day of meat pack- \ ing on the farms. 1 lit is believed that Martin 1 farmers, as a group have 1 packed more meat for home consumption this year than in i several seasons. Low prices i for live hogs are said to have i forced the farmers to kill and t pack more meat lot home 1 consumption. Expecting Big Crowds For Two County Farm Schools Large crowd:- art* expected toi attend two special schools for! farmers in this county next week., the first of the schools to bej held in the Farm Life School au-l ditorium next Tuesday night at. 8:00 o’clock, and the second in | the county courthouse on Wed-! nesday, February 18, at 2:00 o'-! clock in the afternoon. H. M. Covington, sweet potato specialist, will conduct the school. in the Farm Life auditorium I discussing such topics as diseases, nematodes, cultivation, fertil-i ization, harvesting and marketing j of the sweets. He may offer some advance opinions on the j market outlook and answer any questions on the subject, Mr.: Covington has made a number of visits to this county where In is known as an authority in his j field. I Tin- meeting Wednesday after noon in the courthouse \v!H .-en ter around an extensive discus sion of the lowly peanut. Dr. E. T York will discuss spacing, fer tilization. rotation and cultiva tion. Dr W. C. Gregory will review tests made on varieties, and J. C. Wells will offer sug gestions for combatting the nema tode and various diseases. E. R. Collins will summarize recom mended practices for the 1953 crop. Both of these meetings are rated of great importance to the farmers in this county, and can moan the difference between poor and good yields, inferior or extra quality and a profit or a loss. Farmers are invited to attend both meetings. Farmers oi Nation Disappointed With President's Speech Stulin Making IMun* For Eventual War W illi This Coiiiilrj -» Washington.—President Dwight D Eisenhower's speech to Con gress (and the nation) is gener ally credited with having been a success for the Republican Chief Executive.- The delivery was judged good, although Ike like Harry Truman—is not one of tIn world's great public speakers. The former five-star general, In his first major speech since the inauguration, dwelled on foreign policy heavily, but did cover the domestic scene more fully than in the inauguration speech. There are some who wonder what will happen to the ninety percent par tly support program after 1954— i since Ike did not go into this, and since the last Republican Con gress favored declining support percentages. (The present law expires after 1954). There were also some farm state members of Congress who expressed disappointment that the speech didn’t contain some I specific program for quick re- ; lief to farmers, should prices continue to pinch them and re ceipts deyline The President in dicated this question was the sub ject of an intensive study but he gave no hint as to a solution to | the problem. On foreign ptilicy, the Presi dent's speech did not differ great ly from that of the last two Pies- ; idents, though there were, of course, some differences. Ike did. not indulge in demagoguery on Ihe Korean war, and gave no forty-nine cent, quick and easy solutions, to the dilemma. His words were one more proof that he is an internationalist, were significant in that they signified the interantionalist wing's as cendency in both major parties. I The speech was received well. ! Moie favorable comment was | heard, about it, from both sides, I Ilian was recorded aitei President fruman’s 1949 address to Con gress. After the 1949 campaign, Ihe Democratic party, though in control, was seriously split Both dOP factions are behind Ike at Ihe moment, although there is « dissension gradually creep (Continued on page eight) & Making Change In| Faculty Personnel —»— Resigning to accept a position vith the G and H.

INVESTIGATIONS \ r v. j School officials and repre sentatives of the Martin County Welfare Department are investigating an increas ing number of absences in several schools, it was learn ed this week. A few pupils, held out by colds and influ enza for a few days .are said to have decided not to return to school after recovering from the attacks, and sonic I parents were said to he in different to the action. Only one or two of the parents whose children are playing "hookey" have been called into court, but war rants are pending in several cases, according to an unof ficial report. Midwife Program | Sponsored Here| John W. Williams, County Health Officer Six of the eleven midwives who hold permits to practice in Martin County were present for an an nual meeting of the group spon sored by the County Health De partment recently. At the gathering. Hi :1th De partment officials inspected the women’s equipment and supplies and questioned them on their knowledge. The State inspector was present for the meeting and commended the nurses who teach the midwive's classes. A book let compiled by the nurse, was given special praise for its origin ality. Ill a report on the midwife pro gram in this county, the Health Department reports that 200 or more of the home de!;vertes in Martin County arc made by mid wives. They point out that mid wives are necessary because of the economic status of some fami lies and because some persons pee ler tin services of a midwife to that of a physician. Of seventeen stillbirths report i'd in the county, sixteen of them were by physicians and one by e midewife. Explanation foi these figure: . found in the fact that midw’ves often call a doctor •■ifet it is too late to save the child. Classes for the midwives in clude instruction on pregnane, labor, and post-labor problems, and advice on cleanliness. Plan Home For National Guard Realizing that Battery C of the 150th AAA Battalion, National 1 Guard, is returning home soon with no established quarters eady to house it, town officials 1 ind other interested citizens dis cussed the problem with National Guard authorities in Raleigh this veek. No direct commitment could be lad, but there is a possibility hat an armory project will be ncluded in the 1953-54 appropri itions. Wilmington holds the Mo. 1 claim and Williamston is 1 second in line in the 1953-54 pro ;ram, according to unofficial in ormation reaching heie. During the meantime, plans are being considered for housing the guard unit here until a new' home if its own can be provided. i The battery is tentatively sche luled to return home the early , part of March after spending thej. greater part of twu years in camp ' I Si Georgia and New Jersey i TB Seal Sale Is Over The Top In County For 1952 Total of $2..7K2.33 RhiimmI During Recent Drive, Secretary Report* -- In his final report on the 1952 Christmas Seal Sale.

Weekly Summary Of Activities In The Legislature Public Legislation Of Slate Wide Importance Now Before Assembly Public legislation of major im portance began coming in faster and the rate of bill introductions began to pick up as the General Assembly finished its fifth week. Public hearings outside of ap propriations hearings have begun! to attract state-wide attention; bills of general interest are mak ing their way to the floor of both houses daily, and they are being dispatched with desultory debate; bills ratified into law include some legislation of importance. The Governor's legislative pro gram is moving along with ap parent support from both houses and will probably move faster now that he has returned to Ra leigh. Occasional references to controversial legislation not yet introduced and the fact that the appropriations and finance coru rnitees are still doing spadework serve as reminders that much wm k remains to be done. Appropriations and Finance Attention this week has shifted to the State's revenue laws, part ly because of the disturbing im plications of appropriations re quests which now exceed the Ad visory Budget Commission's rec ommendations by over $50 mil lion. A joint finance sub-com mittee was assigned the task of examining the State's reportedly complicated corporate tax struc ture with an eye to making it more attractive to industry; a second sub-committee was as signed the job of “modernizing" ! the license tax schedules (set in 1031) in the light of two decades of economic change. Despite Rep. Winkler's proposal, which I would impose a 1-cent tax on re- j tail sales of soft drinks and bring i in an estimated $1 1-2 million an-! nuiiliy, little legislative support I for additional taxes is evident, j Appearances by the console i dated University of North Caro- | line and the Hospitals Board of Control highlighted the appro priations committee last week. Two more weeks of hearing re main. University officials asked for over $5 million, divided be tween operating funds and per manent improvements, and sug gested that if university needs were also incorporated in a bond issue, they would request about $fi million. The Hospitals Board of Control requested in addition $5.3 million for operations and fixed $25 million as necessary for permanent Improvements. No decision on appropriations, reve nues, and bond issues is expect ed until Governor Umstead has delivered his budget message. Meanwhile nibbles are being made at State funds by bills seek ing $35,000 for the employment of six school music supervisors, and $10,000 for research on hay rot. Reorganization Administration reorganization bills in various stages of legis lative processing met little op posit'on during the w ek. One bill (SB04), aimed at a reorgani zation of the Department of Con servation and Development by empowering the Governor to ap point an entirely new 15-ntember board on July 1, 1953, received rapid approval from the Senate C and D committee ami passed (Continued on Page Six) Nan Booked For I • • Person Bobbery j Roosevelt Edwards, young col ored mun who was arrested here last week-end for allegedly breaking into Walter Johnson’s store on Wed Church Street, now ( stands charged with the robbery ; of Noah Boston’s person. 1 Edwards is alleged to have 1 waylaid Boston on a local street ; on the night of January 4,, arid I struck him down with a sand bag.

To Kvor \llend J*e**ion of Rerorder'* Court Devoting just about all its at tention to liquor eases, the Martin County Recorder's Court was in session until almost 7:00 o'clock last Monday evening before Judge H. O. Pottle called it a day, leav ing quite a few cases for consid eration next Monday. When a final review of the ac tivities for the day was made, it was found that thirty-five cases had been handled and cleared from the docket for twenty-two defendants, that fifteen cases had been continued for eight defend ants, that one defendant had ap pealed from judgments handed down in two cases against him. and that two other defendants had asked for jury trials in the four east* against them. Fines, ranging up to $50 but holding to a general figure of $25, were im posed in the liquor cases in the total amount of $575, Fines in other cases amounted to $200, boosting the total fine income for the day to $775. In the two cases where the dc fendant was sentenced to the roads, notice of appeal was given, and bond was required in the -uni of $500. The 50 liquor cases were plac ed on the docket following un dercover work handled during Ihe past two months by special investigators, Alphonso McCon nell and Morris Cooper, repre writing the Ninth Carolina Stale Alcoholic Beverages Control Board.

No complete reports are to he had at this time, but pre liminary information reach ing the office of County Tax Supervisor M. L. Peel points to an increase in property values for 1taxation in this county. Mr. Peel explained that the Virginia Electric and Power Company had added more than $11)0,000 to its listings in Williamslon Township a lone. Timber holdings are expected to show some in crease in several townships. Farm personal property val ues are said to he down, how ever, in several districts. The over all increase, it was pointed out, is certain to he considerably below the gain reported for 1952. Schools Long On Frills And Short On Fundamentals -- Notional (liti/.riis (iomniit l«‘i“ DiiM'iiHM’* Sriiool I YoMrnis 1 ten ver ,1 II Mrl)(in.iId. chan - man nl tlu Colorado Hoard of Ed ucation, has told tlu National Cil izens’ Commission for Public Schools .that schools have too many frills and not enough fun damentals In seeking girl clerk for his bank, he said, too mans were rejected liccause they didn’t know the alphabet, and therefore couldn't file, couldn't add, and couldn’t spell. "We have made it too easy for out precious darl ings,” he said. Up rose Mrs Eugene Meyer, wife of tlu publisher of the Washington Post, and a cornmis sum member Mr. McDonald should remember, she said, that the schools are carrying an in creasing burden because educa tion is considered everyone's right, whereas a generation ago, only a select few, the best learn ers, went hi yond the grammar school ‘‘Of Tom, I)icK and Harry,” she said, “Tom used to go oil alnoe, while Die k and Harry dropped out ol grammar school, and became since slid business mi'll. Now all three go through high school Fred Hechingcr of the New York Herald Tribune, president of the Education Writei Asso ciation, told the same panel that some newspapers -till do not know schools aie news, and some superintendents md school board heads still woefully mishandle their public relations. "Last fall I attended the whole opening day of a first-grade class," he said "The children were happy and liked the teach ■ ' ■ The teachers were happy and liked thr i.one in, mough a little overwhelmed by numbers The children didn't want to go home.” "Yet when 1 came out and bought the evening papei - vir tual!,! every evening paper in New York had headlined the I same old stereotyped story, that j today iv, i s tin denial pay ;7n" which all the children were be ing forced unhappily bail, into school All the information I got was that the ■ ■ it.y editors had been out of school much too long. And Henri Tetz of Monmouth, Ore., president ol the On gun Education Association, said the "teachers feel less secure than any other group in America. Young people are not going into education because teachers are not paid enough, do not feel they have enough status, and are psy chologically insecure." Di 11 M Hamlin of the Uni versity of Mmesota said school sponsored citizens' committees are apt to he eiitieiseil as "rub bei stamps" and "yes men." Nevertheless, lie said, tie thought the school people should help pick such committees with due regard for lessons learned, be rause otherwise committees might be made up only of repre ientatives of organizations, might ack vital components of the •uhimunity, or in other ways be oo narrow and one-sided. {Ezra Benson Says Farmer Musi Rely On His Own Effort I'ropuM's No (irrat Change In Farm Program* immediately Washington.—It was left to quiet Ezra Taft Benson, Secretary of Agriculture, to take1 the first “meet the press” plunge of the en tire Cabinet. Encircled by more than one hundred reporters, facing news reel and television cameras, bom barded bv critical, kindly, com plex, and “loaded" questions, the new Republican boss of one of the gvoernment's biggest agencies took his initiation with commend able poise and calm. There was nothing sensational in tlie administration's first ses sion with the press, but it was obvious that Mr. Benson is not a sensational man and does not pretend to be. Perhaps his most significant statement was that there arc to be "no sweeping changes imme diately within the department. Observing the man, one felt it. was entirely characteristic that he would say “Now is the time for deliberation, not haste” and that lie wanted “to take time to get acquainted with programs and know what our obligations are." , But it was apparent from his mimeographed statement of gen eral policy on agriculture that that policy, undci his hand, will be a more conservative one than heretofore. There were significant refer ences in the statement to "the values of private competitive en terprise," the "principles of eco nomic freedom," and "individual mlegiity" and effort. There will be no ‘ Brannan Plans " under his administration. II was made clear, however, that thi new Seeretar> of Agriculture would not abandon price sup port- or the principle of farm parity that is, the insurance of the farmer that the value of his dollar will be assured a fair re lationship to the value of the city man's dollar Hi would prefet this all to happen without file government having to do much about it. It was apparent that he feels the individual should make efforts to help himself first before he asks the government lor aid. He took the rapid-fire ques tions with composure, answering ■ aeh one thoughtfully and join ing m the general laughter when someone1 pitched a highly eon Uuversial one.
