TIME FOR ACTION!

When it's 'harvest-time" it's "fair-time" in
practically every county in North Carolina and
and the southland. Everywhere you 60 now,
fair is either in progress or has just been held
But what about Ashe county?
Frankly, we cannot understand why this large,
fine agricultural, fruit and livestock raising
county has never had countrywide talr. VI
course it takes some work and lot OF co-opera-
ton on the part of the merchants, farmers, OF
tclals and civic leaders to have successful fairs,
but the task is really not difficult. 1t IS prl-
marily question of pride and leadership and
the results far outweigh the time, effort and
expense.
Fairs are unquestionably bigS assets to any
town and county. They promote and encou-
rage agriculture and livestock provide excel
lent educational opportunities afford whole
some entertainment, stimulate trade and adver-
tiSe section.
But what about fair for Ashe county? The
excellent community fair at Grassy Creek and
the amazing response to the little fruit and We
getable contest of The Skyland Post definite
ly convince us that Ashe can and should have
a county fair next year.
We have seen lot of fruit and vegetable
products, but we have never seen larger or
finer ones than many of those entered in the
Posts contest and we want to take this oppor-
tunity to congratulate and to thank each con-
testant. We deeply appreciate your interest
and cooperation and are sorry that every parti-
cipant couldn't win.
But what about an Ashe County Fair For 1888?
That's what we are primarily concerned over
now Let's stop talking about it and do some
thing. Let's get busy have meeting, perfect
and organization map out program, appoint
committees and START WORKING.

WHAT OTHER EDITORS ARE SAYING
MAN.HOURS AND PWA.

PWA, which is now coming to the close OF its
career if we are to believe the administrations,
deserves and may some time get better eva
luation of its longtime effects than was includ-
ed in the departmental estimates that it had
allotted $2,7OO 900 to non-federal projects,
created 661, 100000 man-t' urs of direct employ
ment and two and one-half times that much
indirect employment.
We take it that the country is not so much in
terested in the expenditure angle of it. If it
had been it would have been paying more at
tention to the corresponding increase in our
national debt. Six hundred and sixty-one mil
lions of man-hours is captivating spectacle, we
would imagine too, if it could all be assembled
for a single view. But since it cannot and since
most of it's wages and the like have already
been spent and there remains to us only the
lesurely process of paying it back, for the most
part in concealed taxes we suppose little at
tention will be paid to that statistical item
either.
But what the country will notice and wish
to know about's what it got for it's money. We
have been vaguely told about dams here and
there, especially when it came time to press
the key that opened the flood gates or to stage
other exhibitional ceremonies. We have heard
OF school buildings and grade crossing elimi-
nation programs. We have a hazy idea that in
dlVlduals and corporations have been doing
things with the money the government borrow
ed for them. Some time, however, we hope
that government official or department with
a knack at compiling will give us concise
picture, not so much of how much we put out
but rather how it went. Then maybe we can
evaluate any lasting benefits from wages paid
IN time OF emergency or even tell how much
man-hour is worth
