Fire Department
Is Formed In The
Town Of Hamilton
Truck Delivered And Sev
enteen Young !VIen Vol
unteer For Service
Experiencing heavy losses at
more or less regular intervals, ci
tizens of the town of Hamilton
recently formed a fire depart
ment, and are rapidly shaping the ! ’
equipment into an effective and !
modern organization.
®The volunteer company was or- I
ganized a short time ago with i
Don Matthews, Jr., president: j
Pete Roane, vice president: Hil- |
ton Everett, treasurer and James
Lee, secretary. James Staton Av
ers was made the first fire chief,
and Morris Lynch and Bud Bul
lock are his assistants. Other vol
unteers are, Joe Cherry, Abner
Bland, Jim Scott, Johnnie Scott,
Frank Everett, Henry Johnson,
Jr., Alvin Everett, Henry Haislip
and Dewey Stalls.
Financed mainly by cash con
tributions, plus the donation of
some equipment, the department
last week purchased a Studebaker
truck from a company in Roanoke, j
Virginia. It was delivered iate
Wednesday and is now being al
tered to meet specific needs.
Messrs. Don Matthews, Jr., Frank
Everett, Abner Bland, J. S. Ayers,
representing the department, and
W. B. Rogerson of Robersonville
made the trip to Roanoke last
week.
When altered, the truck will
have about 350 gallons of stored
water which will be supplemented
by about 700 gallons in a second
truck. The main truck, costing ap- j
proximately $1,500, is equipped |
with a high pressure force pump, j
and is to carry several hundred j
feet of hose.
The seenod truck—a ®Fordj
chassis with, a >.G.Q-gaHon capacity^!
■'tank ontributed by the Harrison j
Oil Company—will be equipped!
f ith a pump later, it was ex-1
lained. *
Special arrangements are being
made to refill the tanks, it was
learned.
Just now the equipment is being
housed at the Everett-Matthews
Company, but plans are being
mjfde for the construction of a
building for the department just
off Main Street in the heart of
the town.
The leaders of the movement
along with the town officials have
been complimented for their ac
tion.
i The town of Oak City is creat
ing a department of its own, but
but no final arrangements have
been handled as of this time. "We
hope to have our equipment ready
for use possibly sometime in De
cember,” Mr. H. M. Ainsley said
there this week.
Recognition For
Local Dairy Firm
The Mania Milk and lee Cream
Company of Williamston and New
Bern, gained coveted recognition
a few days ago when it was
awarded the coveted Seal of Ac
ceptance of the Council of Foods

Medical Association.
Maola is the first dairy in East
ern North Carolina to be awarded
the seal which will appear on all
Vitamin D milk cartons in the
^iear future, Manager J. H. Black
said here yesterday.
In a recent letter to Maola, Dr. |
James R. Wilson, secretary of the'
association, pointed out that there
arc extremely few cases of rickets
today as compared with twenty
years ago. Vitamin D milk i^» giv
en credit for playing a major role
in the eradication of the once
jk'idespread disease.
F The Mola Company is maintain
ing a sizable operation here and
throughout this community. It
has a fleet of trucks and a sizable
payroll here, and is offering a
ready market for milk produced

Martin Student Loan Fund
Created For Former Scouts
The establishment of a $1,000
student loan fund by the estate
ji the late Wheeler Martin, pro
minent attorney and former scout
leader here, was announced this
week by Mrs. Martin.

on deposit with the Martin Coun
ty Building and Loan Association,

placed in the hands of Messrs W
,* etr\-r,—-c;-rrr,r-., mm **Xr P
, Lmdsiey and B. (_». Stewart, it
wa£ explained that any persons
caring to increase the size of the
fund may do so by contacting the
administrators or the office of

ministering the loan have not
been announced, hul its benefits
will be necessarily limited to
former bov or girl scouts in the

Red Cross Ready
For Siorm Here
—•—
Recognizing the possibility of
storm danger in this area, the
American Red Cross sent a train
ed field man, Edward Guyette of
Alexandria, Va., here late last
night to direct emergency relief
activities if necessary.
It looked one time as if the
storm would bear heavily on this
section, but the center passed
about 30 miles oil the coast short
ly before midnight last night.
No great damage was reported
along the coast. Fishing piers
were swept away and communica
tions were disrupted there. In
this area, little or no damage was
reported, the wind gusts hardly
exceeding 30 miles an hour. Only
moderate rains in this area were
traceable to the storm which was
