School Bond Vole Set For October Governor William B. Umstcnd has set October 3 as the date for a referendum on school build ing and mental hospital bond is sues amounting to $72,000,000.

Rainfall, measuring only 1.29 nches was 3.41 inches below nor nal. Rain fell on seven different lays and there were traces on four other days. There were a few clouds on still other days, but the clouds simply would not de liver, and crops suffered while humans panted. Hugh Spruill, bridgekeeper on the Roanoke and keeper of the official rain and temperature gauges, said last month was the driest in twenty-four years, and that is as far back as the records go at this point. Mr. Spruill briefly reviewed the July rainfall for twenty-four years as follows: 1930, 4.42 inches; 1931, 5.26; 1932, 3.45; 1933, 6.08; 1934, 7.89; 1935, 11.34; 1936, 9.76; 1937, 7.02; 1938, 6.49; 1939, 7.63; 1940, 4.56; 1941, 4.27; 1942, 2.50; 1943, 8.49; 1944, 4.34; 1945, 8.20; 1946, 7.27; 1947, 9 70; 1948, 4.08; 1949, 7.64; 1950, 12.10; 1951, 4.89; 1952, 7.35; and 1953, 1.29 inches. No records were shattered by the mercury, but it was plenty warm in this area during last month. Apparently it is a degree or two cooler on “Roanoke Beach” than it is up town, about a mile away. It was agreed that the mercury was well above the 100 mark several days last week. The old Roanoke behaved itself after an admirable fashion during July, running through the month with hardly more than a 12-inch variation. The weather data, including the river gauge readings, as released by Mr. Spruill for the month of July follows, with the date in the first column, the river gauge readings in the second column, the maximum temperature read ing in the third, minimum tem perature reading in the fourth and the rainfall in the fifth col umn for each day of the month: Rain .0 .0 .0 .07 .0 .28 .16 .0 .0 .0 .0 1 .0 .0 .0 .40 .0 .0 .04 .02 .0 .0 .0 .0 .0 .32 .0 1.29 Date River 11 L 1. 4.1 85 69 2. 4.3 97 68 3. 4.4 96 74 .4 4.6 93 69 5. 4.3 95 68 6. 4.2 94 73 7. 4.0 95 73 8. 4.1 92 71 9. 4.2 92 70 10. 4 7 85 66 11. 4.5 79 58 12. 4.2 80 57 13. 3.7 82 58 14. 3.5 84 64 15. 3.4 90 58 16. 4.6 93 57 17. 4.8 96 61 18. 5.2 95 63 19. 4.8 94 68 20. 4.5 93 70 21. 3.8 96 65 22 3.5 94 70 23. 4.2 88 70 24. 4.5 93 60 25. 4 7 87 64 26. 4.5 88 56 27. 4.3 93 63 28. 4.0 97 66 29. 4.1 98 65 30. 4.3 98 70 31. 4,5 99 71 * Trace of rain More Tenants In Oiiice Building Following closely behind Radio Station WIAM, more tenants are moving into Williamston’s new and modern office building on East Mam Stret near the post of fice.

Haywood, writing for the Christian Science Monitor, | offered the following graphic story of the truce, marking the end of the fighting in Korea on July 27: It was a warm night with a full moon. Nearly 12 hours be fore at Pammunjom, miles to the west, the armistics had been sign ed by Allied and Communist re presentatives. Now it was time for words to take shape in action. Acting under specific orders, United Nations units along the entire battle front—including South Korean divisions—com menced their own cease fire 15 minutes ahead of the agreed dead line of 10 p. m. Even prior to 9:45 Allied fir ing slackened noticeably. The Chinese across no man's land, however, fired heavily in the early evening, especially motar bursts. Red Fire Falters Along toward the end, enemy fire also tapered off. In the four hours prior to the cease fire, how ever, 44,000 incoming shells ;ain ed upon Allied positions. At a front-line observation post near T-Bone Hill the final dead line minute passed slowly—and in silence. Enemy positions could be seen in the moonlight. Within vision wei'e disputed Old Baldy and Pork Chop—sites of famous bat tles and heavy casualties for both sides . Then lightes began to go an across the way. Chinese Commu nist trucks that formerly operat ed only in total darkness were turning on their headlights. Our side remained blacked out as a precautionary measure for remainder of the night. Almost Unbelieveable Everyone watched the other side The men glanced repeat edly at their watches. The truce was true, but it was unbelieve able. One kept almost holding his breath expecting something to happen to shatter the silence— and the armistice. Everyone kept hoping this would not prove to be some cruel trick. But as the minutes passed, it became apparent the armistice was working. The most delicate moment was over. Reports filtered in from other units up and down the line The same miracle was taking place everywhere along tiie front. Only one shell was reported to have fallen after the deadline. Eight minutes after 10 o’clock an enemy mortar burst on a Allied position. It was believed to have been fired by an outlying Communist battery that either did not get the word promptly or that mis judged the time. It was not re ported as an armistic violation. Meanwhile, there were cele brations.. There was no rushing across no man's land to fraternize with the enemy. It Just Stopped The war just stopped. It wa:, shut off in a moment, as though some greater power suddenly had stilled every man’s impulse to file a weapon. On out front 45 minutes later, one bunker turned on light*;. A nearby officer started in amaze ment, and his reaction was a nat ural reflex after months of night fighting. “Douse those lights!” he roar ed. "Don’t you guys know there’s a war on?” Then a sheepish look spread over his face as he realized his (Continued on Page Two) -—* Tlanninn To Return Home Trout Hospital Mr. Henry D.

Native Of County Home From Tour Of South America I Former Everetts Girl Was Honored lly Nurses \t Norfolk General -«. Miss Anna Barnhill, daughter of Fabian Barnhill of Hampton, Va., and the late Mrs. Essie Clark Barnhill of this county, recently returned from a tour of South America, the honored guest of Norfolk General Hospital Nurses. The following story, appearing in one of the Norfolk papers, tells about her trip: "They’re small and have mus taches, and I don’t like mus taches,” said the young lady of South American men. Miss Anna Barnhill, 19-year-old daughter of Fabian Barnhill, of | Hampton, was back in the starch ed white uniform and pert cap of a nursing student at Norfolk General Hospital. She just re-1 turned last Friday from a meet ing of the International Congress and Council of Nurses at Petro polis, Brazil. Asked what she thought of South American men, she said, "There are no big men. You just didn’t see any.” i Besides, Miss Barnhill was flashing a diamond on the third linger of her left hand. But she had a w. nderful time. Especially when the West Coast All-Star Basketball team showed up, and squired the nurses around. I Miss BarnhiB was one of six United States student nurses who attended the convention. The others were from the University of Minnesota, Yale University Nursing School, Cornell Univer-' sity Nursing School, Presbyterian Hospital in New York City, and Emory University School of Nurs ing. Two nurses from King’s Daugh ters’ Hospital here also attended the meeting. They were the Miss es Laura L. and Lena L. Stewart. Separated into about five groups, the American nurses were conducted on guided tours at each Latin American country visited. Miss Barnhill said they stayed at Panama three days, Lima, Peru, three days; Sao Paulo, Brazil, one day, and Petropolis, one week. On the way back they stopped at Rio for four days and at San Juan, Puerto Rico for one day. Tlie student body at Norfolk General financed the trip by con ducting rummage sales, selling plates and holding othei bine fits. About $ 1,200 wa.^ raised.

The letter from the church board of deacons reads, as fol lows: "At the regular monthly meet ing of the Board of Deacons of the Memorial Baptist Church, held on Friday, July 31, 1953, a motion was made before the board, duly seconded and pass ed, as follows: 1 That this body go on record as objecting to the establishment or location of a bus terminal within the block of North Smith wick Street in which our church building is located. 2. Whereas, traffic conditions in this block are now very congest ed and very unsatisfactory, we feel that location of a bus station in this area will increase the pre sent hazards. 3. This board also feels that the noise and hubbub that are usually prevalent in the vicinity of a bus terminal, will tend to detract from the religious atmosphere of our sanctuary, 4. That this board petition the Town Commissioners to make every effort to discourage the pro posed location of a bus statical within a city block of any other Williamston church. The action advanced the cre ation of a zoning commission one step farther, and if the commis sion is blocked in its efforts there is the possibility of declaring the proposed project a public nuisance and one designed not in the best interest of the public. ThVee members, G. 1’. Hull, Walter Mar tin and W. It. Gaylord have al ready been named members of the commission, and Die town board directed the mayor to con tiiet the N. ('. League of Munici palities or tlie Institute of Gov ernment for guidance One of the agencieh will be asked to senij a representative here to discuss the creation of a zoning commis sion and to outline its duties and functions. In a meeting lasting more than three hours, the board members discussed a wide variety of prob lems. Including in the list was the removal of curbing around cer tain properties It was pointed out that no permission had ever been granted for the removal of curb ing, and one property owner where the sidewalk hud been all but obliterated voluntarily agreed that something should be done to correct u bad situation. "We are not trying to single out anyone, but the pedestrians still should have some right it," a member of the board declared. No action was taken at the meeting last night to have any of the curbing replaced, but some action of some kind is anticipated. A committee was named to contact property owners and discuss with them the possibility of striking a hap py medium, the hoard agreeing that it was not us purpost to d< ny anyone the right of ingress or tigress, but that the lights of all should be considered. (Continued on Page Six) KOUNIMJI* v. ■> I j Crime activities in this area were slowed down con siderably possibly by the hot weather during the past week end. Only live persons were arrested and detained in the eounty jail during the pe riod. Two each were booked for public drunkenness and Issuing worthless checks and one for larceny. Three of the five were white and the ages of the group ranged from 2(i to 40 years. County Board In Regular Meeting Monday Morning —— With Taxes Behind Then: For Another Year, Board Had Little Business With tax problems settled for another year, the Martin County commissioners in regular session Monday had no major problems to solve. Of course there were road matters to be discussed along with routine matters, but the of ficials completed their work and quit shortly before lunch time. The $1.35 tax levy was formal ly adopted and entered in the re cords for 1953, and the auditor's office force will start writing no tices and receipts this week. The job will take ten days or two weeks. A permit to sell patent medi cines in this county was granted Geo. W Edwards, colored dis abled war veteran of Kinston. The permit is good until next February 1. A resolution was duly passed, giving the North Carolina State Highway and Public Works Com mission a quit claim deed for a by-pass or belt line over the site for the proposed National Guard Armory on Highway 64 just out side of town. It is understood that the preliminaries for the truck route are just about com plete and that the project possibly will be included in the contracts to be let in September. The board recommended for black topping three-tenths of a mile of road in Robersohville Township, leading from the town of Robersonville to Robert R. Nel son's farm. In his monthly report to the commissioners, Tax Collector M. L Peel stated that $369,377.51 of the $394,820 levy for 1952 had been collected. He also reported that $13,055.94 was unpaid on the $372,688.88 levy for 1951. All but $6,570.55 of the $337,392.79 levy for 1950 had been collected.
