C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1941 ' 4 ( - 1 it r t4 It rt - Boimsr Seeks To Bolster Prices For Soy Beans Congressman Herbert C. Bonner, Friday, held a conference at the De partment of Agriculture, bringing to their attention the differential in prices of soy beans as between east ern North Carolina and the Illinois area. Mr. Bonner urged the Depart ment, through the Surplus Commodi ties Corporation, to make a study for the purpose of setting up a pro gram by which they could Btore soy (Mans and make loans similar to the diversion plan now in effect with respect to peanuts. Mr. Bonner pointed out the state ment made by the Secretary of Agri culture in his radio broadcast on Wednesday night, October 16th, en titled, "Food For Freedom In 1942", in which the Secretary stated, "It seems certain that we won't be able to import as much of the oils and fats as we are used to bringing in from other countries, so we will need to make up this deficit ourselves. We can take care of our own oil needs by raising a million and a half addi tional acres of soy beans, and about the same acreage of peanuts." In the light of this statement the Department BtaUZ that they felt sure a program could be shortly ini tiated which would give a loan of approximately $1.00 per bushel, uni formly throughout the Country, and that an announcement would shortly' be made regarding the program. THIS WEEK'S HEADLINES Remember the "flu" of last win ter? A St. Louis health officer told the American Public Health Associa tion this week that this country may see another "flu" epidemic this win ter that will equal the one of 1918 and. 1919, although it is possible that this one coming might not kill as many people as did the one of '18. Hitler's underseas boats, seemingly, had a field day this week with U. S. shipping. On Monday the report was released that the U. S. Destroyer Kearney had been attacked, and it was due only to the sturdy boat it self that it was not sunk. Eleven men were killed and 10 hurt in the attack. Then, again on Tuesday, the Germans sunk two American-Owned ships, the Lehigh and the Bold Ven ture. According to reports these last two ships now bring to a total ten American ships sent to the bottom by the Nazis. Although, it has not yet been offi cially announced, news releases from various points of Europe state that. the Russian government has left Moscow for points some' 700 miles southeast of the beseiged capital Dictator Stalin, it is reported, has set up his headquarters in an armor ed train . . . and thus will have no certain designation. The American representatives have also departed from the Red capital. NAVY BLUES ivy V i .

How ever, fresh troops, being rushed to the central front by the Russians, are stalling the German drive somewhat in front of Moscow. The German re ports indicate that Nazi-Allied troops have entered Odessa, on the south, and that part of the German forces from the extreme south and north have been placed in the line pushing toward Moscow. Short Session Of Recorder's Court Tuesday Morning The situation in the Far-East took another turn this week when the con servative Konoye Cabinet gave way to the pro-Axis premiership of Gen eral Tojo. The new premier, in a statement, called upon his country to display the iron unity necessary to bring Japan through its crucial hour. While Tojo was assuming the reins of the Japanese government, U. S. authorities, taking no chances on eventualities, ordered American ships in the Pacific Ocean into Amer ican or neutral ports for orders re garding their designation.

USED PARTS FOR ALL MAKES AND MODELS AT ONE-HAMOTtlCE Ask About Our. Liberal Payment Plan Towe Motor "Co. , v Chrysler Plymouth SALES AND SERVICE Italian soldiers are being rushed to various points along the lengthy Italian sea coast this week to stem a possible British invasion of the minor Axis country. The Italians, accord ing to reports released Thursday, are fearful that the British arejj, auout to attempt an invasion ot the continnet by the way of Italy. The British Air Force, on Wednesday. bombed the city of Naples for five hours causing heavy damages. It is likely that the Senate will re move the bans placed on American shipping by the Neutrality Act, sen timent, since the additional sinking of American ships by German sobs, is growing to change the Act and not only allow the arming of Tea sels but to permit them going any where on the high seas. Missionary Society Met At Winf all The Woman's Society of Christian Service and the Wesleyan Guild of Winfall-Cedar Grove churches held their monthly meeting together at Epworth Church on last Thursday evening. Mrs. Tom White read the Scrip ture and Mrs. J.- L. Delaney led in prayer. Also on the program was a reading by Mrs. A. R. Winslow, Mrs. Raymond Stanton and Miss Lucille Long. It was decided that from now on the meetings will start at 7:30 o'clock. The November meeting will be held with Mrs. A. R. Winslow. i - Large Percentage Of Selectees Win Promotion In Army Advancement to the rank of com missioned or noncommissioned offi cer is in prospect for 28 per cent, of all selectees in their first year of training, General J. Van B. Metts, State Director of Selective Service, said today. On the basis of War Department reports, the Director pointed out, an additional large number of selectees who remain privates throughout their first twelve months of training will attain specialist ratings1 and substan tial pay increases. . ', ' The War Department estimates, Director Metts said, that out of each. 1,000 men 270 r or approximately 28 per cent, .may reach commissioned, warrant officer or noncommissioned grades; 307 or approximately 81 per cent may reach the grade, of first- Only two cases were on the docket when Perquimans County Recorder' Court opened here Tuesday morning, Judge Granberry Tucker found no probable cause in the case of Jeffrey White, Negro, charged with stealing a car from Trim Gordon, Negro. The defendant testified that he had had nothing to do with it, that it was his son who took the car. It seem ed that the defendant, Jeffrey White, had lent the money to his son to buy the car and he and Trim Gordon would pay him back on halves and each would be half owner in the car. When Trim failed to show up with his part of the money, his son, Elihu White, went over to Trim's to get either the money or the car. Trim testified, that he told Elihu not to take the car and he would go out and borrow the money. While he was gone Elihu tied the car to his father's car, which he was driving at the time, and pulled it to his ome. According: to the testimony given, Trim had had Jeffrey White arrested on the pretext that since he actually owed the money to Jeffrey, he was the cause of Elihu stealing the car. Due to the fact that a title had not been secured as to who own ed the car, no probable cause was found. John Webb, Negro, charged with assault on Careen Ferebee and Fer mer Brickhouse, entered a plea of guilty and was ordered to pay the costs of court. Recorder's- Court will not be in session next week as it will recess for the October Term of Perquimans Superior Court which convenes here on Monday. All farmers and. others who own trucks are to be asked to help the War Department in its transporta tion planning for national' defense, reports John W. Goodman, assistant director of the State College Exten sion Service. M. L. Wilson, director of Extension work for the U. 3. De partment of Agriculture, has asked the cooperation of all State Exten sion Services in the survey to be made. Each truck owner will receive in the next few days a special National Defense inventory card, Goodman ex plained. He will be requested to re turn the card (postage free) with information regarding the make of his truck, kind of body, capacity, time 'of year the vehicle is most ur gently needed in the owner's busi ness, and whether in an emergency he would be willing to hire or lease it to a Government agency. The purpose in' collecting fhese re cords, Goodman said, is more effec tive planning of highway transporta tion in the assembly of defense-industry materials, delivery of military and civilian supplies, relief of .-ck and terminal congestion, and move ment of passenger traffic in emei gencies. "England was forced, in the midst of the war, to make an inventory similar to the one the United 'States is now about to begin," the Extension leader declared, and he added: "I am sure the farmers of . North Carov Una will cooperate In this r, survey since it seems vital to the prepared ness of oar country for any wartime emergency that, might, arise." , The North Carolina Highway Trafi fic Advisory Committee z of the Warf, Department will send out the inven tory cards. A similar survey will be made of busBes. Convocation Held Annual Meeting At Trinity Church The Convocation of Edenton held its annual meeting, in Holy Trinity Church here Wednesday. The meeting was opened at 10 o'clock with the celebration of Holy Communion with the Rev. John Hardy, dean of the Convocation, and the Rev. E. T. Jilson, rector of Holy Trinity Church, celebrants.

Tom Scott, Johnston County farmer and chairman of the State USDA Defense Board. The Tar Heel delegation of agri cultural leaders which attended a 13-state-food-for-freedom conference at Memphis, Tenn., last week agreed tnat worth Carolina farmers could meet their share of the nation's food increase goals with "just a few new investments in land and farm equip ment." Chairman Scott declares, however, that farmers will work carefully with AAA fieldmen and committeemen in setting up 1942 farm defense plans which will provide the requested ford increases increases brought on by the government's pledge to feed 10,000,000 more Britons next year and to feed its own people better. ; local committeemen already have began the task of visiting every farm in the state to work out 1942 farm plans Under the plans North Caro lina is expected to increase produc tion by : 68 million pounds of milk: GET YOUR PEANUT BAGS NOW We have several thousand left . . . but they are going fast.
