April Worst Month So Far For British Ship Losses London June 26—Britain dis closed that April was her worst month of this war for shipping losses and authoriatative sour ces asserted that sinkings in the Battle of the Atlantic still ros'J during May, although ship loss es for all seas declined in that month. Germany was said to have in creased the number of subma iines sent into the Atlantic lanes to strike at Britain’s supply routes. The Admiralty announced May ship losses were 98 ships, total-, ing 461,328 tons, or 119,823 tons less than revised figures for Ap ril. But the corrected April total —581,251 tons instead of the pre-j viously announced 488,124 tons —j indicated that May figures might be much higher when all returns were in Furthermore, it was, stated authoritatively that the number, of German submarines operating! against the British in the Allan j tic is believed to have increased j ‘despite the fact that we have' taken a heavy toll.” April’s figure included heavy Mediterranean losses during the! battle for Greece. In May. it was indicated, the [ sea warfare slackened in areas [ other than the Atlantic, bring ing the total losses down, but Britain’s position in the all-im portant Battle of the Atlantic it self was worse. Authorities declined to break down the May total into losses in the different seas. The deduction that the num ber of U-boats at large against. Britain had increased was made it was said, “on the basis of all figures, including the number of attacks made by our defenses against submarines, the number of targets our shipping has pre sented, the number of known losses of our ships and the 'kills’j of U-boats.” *',§§2 WHAT A COW !

I In accordance with naval pol icy, any estimate on the number of submarines “killed” was re -1 fused, but it was added that “we can say that the number of at j tacks on U-boats since March is a record.” There has been a distinct ini -1 provement, it was stated in one unspecified area of the Atlantic | which formerly was the U-boats most profitable hunting ground. | German undersea and air- raid ers, it was said, now have been forced to change their tactics and go farther afield. I The British Admiralty, it was ■ said, still is in favor of the con -1 voy system on the basis of prov -1 ed results. The total of British, Allied and neutral shipping losses from the beginning of the war to the end of May were set by authoritative sources at 1,639 ships of 6,702,- 807 tons, broken down as fol lows: British, 1,008 ships of 4,- 302, 445 tons; Allied 314 ships of 1,411,453 tons and neutral 317 ships of 988,819 tons. o IMPROVES The 4-H Camp at White Lake has been recently improved, in cluding re-wiring of the build ings and repairing of the pier and bleachers, reports R.

Y. Floyd, state AAA executive dfficer at State College. A full explanation of the simple forms will be made to all threshers and combiners at the county agent’s office in every county, the AAA officer said. Floyd cited the simplicity of the forms in the face of reporis some wheat harvesters had elect ed to cut wheat for cash only, rather than accept toll, since the latter procedure involves the use of AAA forms. o Farmers Still Have Equity In Stored .. Loan Cotton Farmers who stored cotton un der government loan in 1933,, 1939 or 1940 still hold an equity on cotton which has been kept in storege and they may stand to receive more than the original loan for the cotton, it is announc ed by G. Tom Scott of Johnston County, Chairman of the State AAA Committee. Prevailing market prices now are several cents a pound high er than the loan rates for any of the past three years, and if the Commodity Credit Corporation, holder of the loan cotton, should find it necessary to market some of the stored lint to keep domes tic prices from rising too high, farmers who stored the cotton on loan would share in the proceeds f the sale on the basis of the difference between the sale price and the original loan. o IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES Ca 11... 4501 and Tell us the News that you know about We are anxious to print the news concerning Your trips - Your Friends visit - New arrivals in the Family Parties - Picnics * Fires - Robberies ' Sickness - Ball Games - Club Meetings * Recovery from Sickness, Etc.

PERSON COUNTY TIMES Accident Toll For July Fourth Must Be Checked Raleigh, June 26.—With North Carolina already well on its way toward the worst traffic accident record in its history, the Fourth of July week end this year looms as a potentially murderous three day period on the streets and highways of this state, the High way Safety Division warned this week. Ronald Hocutt, director of the division, pointed out that the celebration of Independence Ddyi always brings about abnormal ' traffic conditions which result in | many fatal accidents. Six persons' were killed in this state last July 4. “This year, however, we may, expect a heavier traffic toll than) usual because of the fact that the! Fourth falls on a Friday, unci thousands of people will take ad vantage of the long week end hol iday to make motor trips,” he J said. “Then, too, the general traf-j sic situation is much more acute j this year. Already traffic deaths in North Carolina are running< around 50 per cent above last year. This, together with the Fourth of July celebration and vacation travel, threatens to bring the greatest July traffic death toll in the history of the motor vehicle.” The safety director pessim'stic ally stated that he fears a toll of 15 to 20 deaths from traffic ecci dents in this state during Friday, Saturday and Sunday July 4-5-6. “Think of it,” he continued, “15 to 20 of the worst tragedies that can befall us threaten to mar a joyous' holiday—unless ev- J ery person who drives makes it r personal and constant respon- 1 sibility not to have an accident and not to cuase others to have cne.” “This shameful situation need not be!”, he 'declared. “Human actions—actions that we can cor.. trol—iare basic cause of nearly all our fatal accidents.
