The National Guard
In War And Peace
Military Unit Is
Manned And Made
Up By Civilians
Plays A Vital Part Iu Meet
ing Emergencies On
The Home Front
The National Guard is a mili
tary organization, but its mem
bers are civilians. They work on
farms, in factories, in offices. They
are students, engineers, me
chanics, mine workers, lawyers,
bookkeepers. They are employees
and employers, bankers and small
depositors, veterans and non-vet
erans. Some of them work for
you. But whatever their civilian
occupation, they give part of their
time every week to train in de
fense of their community and
their country. They are America's
citizen-soldiers!
Each National Guard unit is a
home-town organization, with lo
cal membership, support and
spirit. But each of these local un
its is an intergraj part of the di
visions, regiments, wings and
pquadrons that make up the Army
and Air National Guard. In more
than 2200 communities throughout
the United States and its terri
tories, these citizen-soldiers serve
your best interests.
Today, America is spending bil
lions for . security in a troubled
tvorld. Many of these billions
come from American businessmen
and their businesses, you are pro
viding your share. Some of this
money, your money, is invested
in the National Guard. Therefore,
you have a very vital interest in
it. It is your National Guard!
Facts and good business sense
will show you the value of your
National Guard. It serves you in
both peace and war, yet its mem
bers, except when they actually
bearing arms in def£OS&^^^|j|
country, are regular employees
nf American business. Operated
like a successful business, the
• Guard is paying dividends in 'se
curity for all American, at less
cost to you.
The National Guard so bolsters
uur defense that a much smaller
regular military establishment is
required. It costs only a fraction

John Mason, Yielini
Of Brutal Attack
John Mason, aged colored far
mer of Bear Grass Township!
whose battered skeleton was
found in a hog pasture a week
| ago, was fatally struck on the
head before swine tore the meat
from his bones, according to a
preliminary report heard here
following an autopsy performed
by a Durham pathologist last Sat
urday afternoon.
Mason’s remains, with some of
the bones still missing, were buri

pathologist in his prelimin
son’s head was not fractured, he
i received a fatal blow on the back
of his head, causing a hemorrhage
of the brain. Mason is believed to
have lived only a short time after
the attaek. but it is still possible
that he was still alive when the
swine attacked him. It was also
explained that Mason’s skull for
mation was such that it appeared
1 to have been fractured. A blunt
i instrument, an automobile uni
! versal joint, was found in the
pasture, and it is possible that Ma
son was fatally attacked in the
pasture.
It was reliably learned that Ma
son was attacked by Everett late
Sunday afternoon of October 17
on the Cedar Hill road, less than
one mile from the Southerner on
Highway 17. It is believed that
Mason was carried to the hog pas
ture on the Bowen farm in Bear

Officers are looking for Eve
rett but no trace of him has been
found, reports stating that he was
last seen with Mason on the after

In the fall <>f 1949 the idea of a
National Guard unit for Williams
ton and Martin County was born.
The idea had been advanced sev
eral times before but never be
fore did it receive the necessary
support of civic leaders and other
interested people shown at this
fime.
The office of the Adjutant Gen
eral for the State of North Caro-!
lina in Raleigh, notified local
men a unit was available in the
150th AAA Gun Battalion which
had headquarters in Wilmington.
Captain Henry V. Reid, also of
Wilmington, Adjutant of the 252d
AAA Group, which controls the
150th AAA Gun Battalion, made
numerous trips to Williamston
during November and December
1949. During these visits much of
the groundwork was laid and re
cruiting was begun for members
of the local unit.
A group of local civic leaders
who were interested in the proj
ect held meetings from time to
time with Captain Reid. At one of
these meetings it was decided that
James D. Harris, who had seen
much active service as a Captain
in the Tank Corps uuring World
War 11, should be the battery
commander of the new unit. At
this time officials of the town of
Williamston agreed to let the unit
use part of the City Water Plant
facilities as an Armory or meeting
place until an Armory could be
constructed from Federal and
State funds.
Finally it was decided to hold
the opening drill on Monday,
January 26, 1950, at the Water
Plant. Before this could be done
it was necessary for the unit’s of
ficers to take a physical examina
tion in Raleigh. At that time it
was learned that Capt. Harris had
a heart condition which would

Tobacco Missing
From Plant Here
Approximately eleven hundred
pounds of tobacco were stolen
from the plant of W. I. Skinner
and Company here during the
past week-end. The tobacco was
just inside the receiving room,
and was moved out through a door
at the front of the factory. No re
port has been released, but it was
estimated that the tobacco was
worth more than $500.
Dulluck’s was robbed during
the early hours of this morning.
Forcing the back door, the rob
ber stole betwen $7 and $8 in
cash from the cash registe r, a gray
tweed overcoat, a tan corduroy
coat, three suede jackets and oth
er Srticles, valued at about $150
The robbery was discovered by
Patrolman Perry shortly after
4:00 o’clock.
A side door to the Western Auto
Store was found open early this
morning, but nothing was missed.

Tobacco Sales Holding Uf>
Well On The Market Here
Desoite an early opening and a
rush to .omplete the marketing,;
sales or the Williamston tobacco
market continue to hold up well,
according to official reports re-j
leased today.
Yesterday, the market sold 106,- i
382 pounds for an average of!
$57.49 per hundred pounds, the j
average being among the highest
recorded during the past ten days.
A medium sale is in progress to
day with prices holding firm.
Up until today, the market here
had sold 12,495,326 pounds for
$6,975,541, an average for the sea
son to date of $55.83. Already the,
market has sold more than one
million pounds in excess of the
total handled all last season, and
farmers have already received
more than $200,000 in excess of the
1953 rceipts.
Farmers, coming here from sev-j
eral counties yesterday, reported
individual averages, ranging right i
up to the 70-cent figure.
No closing date has been men
tioned for the market here. It is
fairly certain that sales will con
tinue well into next week and
longer if conditions warrant a
later closing. Last year the market
closed for the season on October
30, but just before the closing
sales had dwindled to as low as
10,000 pounds on one or two days.

Robbery At Naola
Plant Here Last
Saturday Evening
--
Truck Lon«l«»«t Willi Milk 1 i
Found Near Windsor;
Some Cadi Recovered
The local plant of the Maola
Milk and Ice Cream Company on
South Haughton Street was rob
bed between 8:00 and 9:00 o’clock
last Saturday evening, the robber
carrying away approximately $2.
300 in checks and cash. He made
his get-away in a milk truck, load
ed with several hundred quarts
of milk and other dairy products.!
The truck, its cargo intact, was!
found near Windsor late Sunday j
afternoon. It was reported that i
the robber left an undetermined
amount of cash, all of it in silver,
and the checks in the truck.
Several of the drivers checked
in their receipts for the day short
ly after 8:00 o'clock that evening
and they were placed in the money
drawer while Manager J. H. Black
who was at supper and who was
to return and deposit the money
in a night despoistory at a local
bank. When Mr. Black returned
ho found the money missing along
with the truck and a side door
open.
An investigation was started
immediately. It is believed the
robber secreted himself in the
plant until the manager and dri
vers left. Apparently acquainted
with the operations of the plant,
the robber got keys to the office
and money box, and let himself
out the side door.
The truck was seen traveling
out Washington Street, but no at
tention was given it at the time.
Apparently the robber drove to
Skewarkey and switched north
on the new Highway 17 bypass.
It was said that a Windsor taxi
driver picked up a fare, believed
to have been the robber, and car
ried him to Norfolk, reaching the
Virginia city a short time before
midnight.
Home Destroyed
stroyed the four-room home of
Glendora Williams on White
Street about 5:30 o'clock Sun
day evening. The fire, believed to
have started in the kitchen, was
burning rapidly when neighbors
discovered it. The smoke was seen
a quarter-mile or more away be
fore an alarm was sounded.
No one was at home at the time,
according to Fire Chief G. P. Hall
who estimated the loss on the
house at $3,500. No estimate on
the loss experience on the con
tentes could be had immediately
The owner of the* house, D. V.
Clayton, was quoted as saying
that the house was insured for
$2,000, but it could not be learn
ed if the contents were insured.
The fire chief said that fire
men encountered their worst traf
fic jam in years. The curious ac
tually dodged in and out of traf
fic, heading off several firemen,
and the truck was blocked at one
corner. Dust was flying so thick
thick and fast that firemen had
to feel their way to the nearest
hydrant.

Few Register In
County Recently
Hardly a dozen now names
wore added to the registration
books in this county during the
' past three Saturdays, according
to incomplete reports coming from
the registrars for the general elec
11ion next Tuesday.
Jamesville is believed to have
led the county with three new
registrations, all falling in the
j Democratic column. Williamston
| reported one lone registrant who
wanted to get into the Democra
tic fold, and scattered registra
tions were reported through the
| thirteen precincts.
In one precinct, two registrants
| changed their registration pre
I cmets, the husband going with
I the Republicans and the wife
I choosing the Democratic fold. In
| another precinct there was an
even shift, one couple moving out
of the Democratic column into
the Republican field, possibly
with their eyes on political jobs,
while two others wandered out
of the Republican Party into the
Democratic fold, the husband ad
mitting he did not know how he
ever got tangled up with the Old
Guard. .
The registration books arc to be
held open Saturday for challenge.
Fifty Commercial
Booths Opened To
Public Yesterday
Representative Exhibits Be
iiifg .1 mined By Experts
At Fair Today
The Martin County Fair, spon
sored by the local Kiwanis and
Lions Clubs, opened to a large
crowd in the Carolina warehouse
here last evening. It was the larg
est opening we have ever had, a
fair official was quoted as saying.
Time ran out on a few exhibi
tors, but the delayed work is be
ing completed today and the fair
is all set for a full schedule from
now until late Saturday night.
The farm and home exhibits,
while hardly as extensive as they
were last year, are quite repre
sentative. The livestock division
is attracting prize stock in the sta
bles on Elm Street, about 150 feet
from the main exhibit hall. The
exhibits and displays are being
judged today by experts, and a
review of thi- exhibits will be
handled later in the week.
There were one or two risque
spots on the midway, and there
is a possibility that they will be
toned down. The rides, and there
are many, are doing a good busi
ness, it was reported.
The commercial exhibits are
rated the best ever seen at a
fair in this section. Special at
tention is being attracted to th«
Virginia Elect re and Power Com
pany's display where lighting got
its start with the oil lamp and
advanced rapidly with Edison’s
first incandescent bulb in 1879.
Just about every kind and size
of lamp is on display in the large
