Coebbels Charges Catholic Church
 Be Turned Out
(By The Associated Dress)

BERLIN, June 2, The ora torical attack of Joseph Paul Goebbels, Minister of Propagan- da, on the Catholic Church, is believed to possibly foreshadow Ia Nazi move of establishing a re- generated German Catholic chur- ch, completely severed from Vat ican authority.
 Millions heard Gcebbel's ad- dress last night threatening wide spread expulsion of Catholic cler- gy. He accused the clergy of a gen eral decadence of morals.
 Goebbels said: "The govern ment's quarrel with the church arises from the church's insist ence in glorifying all imprisoned priests as martyrs, although 1t knows that ninety-five percent of the prisoners are sex criminals.
 Numerous cases have been cit ed of the governments conten- ton and all Germans should un- ite to remove this cancer sore.'

FIVE FUTILE LITTLE WORDS
mo, they're strangers to me-"

NO. they're strangers to me-
Just five little words, but what a meaning
they convey what singing rebuke to be given
ones parents by mere child!
The five little words are those used by Fred
die Bartholomew the child screen star, as he
testified in Los Angeles court that he wished
to remain the adopted son of his aunt, Miss
Myllicent Bartholomew, that he had no desire
to be reunited with his parents. -
There are facts underlying Freddie's frank
opinion of his parents. And they are facts that
every American mother and father should
guard against
Especially is this true with the dictatorship
countries threatening to make children wards
of the state, threatening to take them from their
parents.
Freddie was taken from his parents when
quite young, and was reared by his aunt. He
seldom saw his parents. It was his aunt who
brought him to the United States, who has
guided his film career.
The greatest thing in civilization today is the
home, the home of loving parents and obedient
children. Such wealth must be guarded It
must be guarded against child-taking "dictat-
ors." It must be guarded against playboy moth
ers and fathers who ''leave the baby with the
nurse"
But beware, Mothers and Fathers. Give YOUR
time, your energy, your thoughts, your wealth.
your devotion to your children Let not YOUR
child be the next to say:
'No, my parents are strangers to me."-The
Commercial Appeal

VARIATION IN INCOMES

The vast difference between the per capita
income in 1885 in the various states and the rel
atively low standing of North Carolina were
readily shown in table published in the cur
rent issue of the University of North Carolina
NEWS LETTER.
New York ranks first with $500 and Missis-
sippi ranks last with $40 for the year 1885 With
$252 North Carolina ranked forty-second which
is surprisingly low in view of the Importance
of the state in the total production of agricul-
ture and manufacturing.
The reason for this the NEWS LETTER
explained, lies in the fact that North Carolina
is one of the most populous states in the ma
ton, SO that when we divide our total produc-
ton by our three and one-half million people,
small. .
In other words, the total cash income of the
average family in the state last year was ap-
proximately $1,000. AS large percentage of
the states population live on the farm, there
are numerous items of income that are not
counted.
1t was also interesting to note from the report
that the per capita income in the state in 1929
was 5000 and that it reached the bottom in 1882
with $177. The highest figure for New York
was in 1929 when it hit $1,000.
Due to this wide difference in income among
the 48 states, it is hard for us to see how Con-
gress can even contemplate the passage of a
wage and hour bill for industry sets up the same
scale for each section of the nation.

OF brave and true men; half frozen, half starved
the boys spent days after days and months after
months in the cold, muddy, disease ridden
trenches and grand total of 100000 of the
worlds finest manhood had ventured forth in
to No Mans Land, never to return again.
The great war was over and throughout the
world, as fast as lightning flash, this good
news was sent. In every city, town and ham,
let the reaction was the samoa wild uproar
of rejoicing Mothers, fathers wives, sisters
and brothers celebrated as they never had done
before. +. No more war the great war
to end war was over :. the world was now
safe for democracy
And SO it was then, but on this nineteenth
anniversary of the Armistice war clouds are
hanging heavy over Europe and ASIA Fierce
fighting is being waged in Spain and China, but
thank goodness as America looks into the face
of war, it thinks profoundly about peace. AS
we bow at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier
and stage our celebrations, we yearn for etern-
al peace.
We thank our stars that we were born and
live in America and on this occasion we pause
and pay tribute to those Blue Ridge soldiers
who fell on the battle fields and we also extend
but escaped unhurt and who today are men,
bers of the outstanding organization known as
the American Legion.
To the local post and to its leaders in particu-
lar, we extend our congratulations for the fine
record which has been made in the past and for
staging the big Armistice celebration. In their
behalf we invite every reader to come to West
Jefferson and to join in the celebration.

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

With market for their products assured, the
farmers of Ashe and surrounding counties have
an excellent opportunity to go into the dairy
and milk business on rather large scale basis,
= AS pointed out in the news columns this week.
the local plant of the Kraft Phenix Cheese Corp
poration can use an unlimited supply of milk
perhaps ten times as much as they are now
getting.
Out of approximately 1000 farms in the
county, only about 400 of them produce milk to
sell to the cheese plant and the ajority of them
sell their surplus rather than make business
of it. For this milk the plant pays out between
$4,000 and $4,000 every two weeks, whereas
they might pay out $4,000 to $4,000 every two
weeks if the supply were available.
About ninety percent of the cheese made in
North Carolina is made in Ashe county and yet
the state imports saTa1nd "a. half Of million
pounds annually. By Increasing the output OF
the local plant Ashe county farmers could pre-
vent this from happening The state also i'm
ports several million pounds of butter each
year.
Dairying is profitable business and the turn
over from milk COW is much greater than from
beef cattle, but in order to be successful in the
dairy business it is absolutely necessary to have
good, purebred stock
With the exception Of just few farms, IN
fortunately there is relatively no purebred stock
in the county. Under the sponsorship of the
local Dairymens association and the extension
department Of State College, Ashe farmers will
have wonderful opportunity next Tuesday to
improve their stock when the purebred Guern-
sey sale is held here. We urge every farmer
to think this matter over and to attend the sale.
Many of the largest and best breeders in the
south will have animals consigned here
It's high time we were waking up to the gold
en- opportunity that we have right at home now!

JOIN THE RED CROSS!

A goal of $50 to 200 members for the Ashe
County Chapter of the American Red Cross
seems to be one that can be readily attained
and by Thanksgiving Day we believe the roll
call workers will have far over this number.
The work of the Red Cross is SO vital, so bene-
fetal to suffering humanity that we know the
Jeffersons and Ashe county will respond to the
call and do their part A goal of 200 members is
low for this county and although it is more
than the chapter has enrolled in some time,
let's resolve to go over the top" in big way
this year.
Like doing true deed, joining the Red Cross
always makes us feel good, for we realize that
by giving this dollar we contributing to
to an organization that gives relief from dis
aster to thousands of people each year and that
carries forward fine physical education pro-
gram.
One-half Of the membership dollar goes to
the national organization and the other is re-
tanned in the treasury of the local chapter and
is used to relieve suffering and poverty right
here at home. ~..
Be sure to join the Red Cross between now
and Nov Is. i 81

ARMESTICE DAY

Nineteen years ago today, amid the blowing
of trumpets and beating of drums, the armistice
was signed, bringing to a close the greatest and
most destructive war Of all wars
For four long years the bloody battles had
ragged. Day and night cannons roared, machine
guns spattered hot lead through the bodies of
men, bombs fired from airplanes and subma-
rines had blown human life and property into
tiny shreds soldiers with rifles, grenades, re-
volvers and trench knives had often times
fought hand to hand battles as in the days of
old poisonous gases had filled ne air and lungs

Letters to the Editor
Jefferson, N. c.,
Nov. l, 1887

Dear Editor:
I have just returned from New
York, where I took part in a big
educational conference on Southern
mountain child service. conducted
by the Save the Children Fund,
which has field workers in our
community, and is given the CO.
operation of county school superin-
tendents, teachers, ministers, physi-
clans and other important local
forces.
Some of the most prominent fig
ures in social service and public
welfare circles in the United States
took part in the Save the Children
conference, as did the social work
ers from the Southern field, more
than twenty of whom went to New
York for the event. It was privi-
lege to come in contact with them
as we did.
The meeting brought before the
public as never before the program
of the Save the Children movement,
which is designed to aid children
in neglected areas where there is
no local agency to look after their
educational and economic problems.
It was conceded on all sides that
the Save the Children organization
is doing a most valuable work with
it's projects, clothing, food, shoes,
books, community houses, health
education and other services.
The participants in the confer
ence and the public which attended
recognized the worth of the Save
the Children movement, and it was
the consensus of opinion that the
duty could not be in better hands.
The help rendered by those in our
Southern field and the people in
each locality who help the organi-
cation was praised on all sides. It
was the most enlightening meeting
of the kind I have ever attended,
and is bound to bring renewed en-
courag cement to boys and girls in
our own and other communities
where the Save the Children pro-
gram is being carried out.
DR.. John r. Voris, president Of
the organization, assured all of us
that his pride was in the workers
and committees forming the leader
ship which is essential to construc-
tive social work. Our people were
received most Hospitality, the Save
the Children home Office in the
Metropolitan Tower, l Madison Az
enue, doing everything it was pos
sible to do for our Southern visit
