$4,000 Allocated To Build
276 Miles OF Electric Lines
In Ashe-Alleghany Counties
Construction Is
Expected To Start
Within Short Time
Record Time MaeA In Promoting
And Getting Final Approx
al On Big Project.

The Rural Identification Ad-
miniStratiOn Tuesday approved
Ashe and Allegheny counties
applications for construction of
276 miles of rural electric Ines
to serve 1,5O7 farmers, as an ex-
tension of the Caldwell Mutual
Corporation and allotted $377,-
100000 to the big project. The
REA approved rs other projects
in IL different states.
Swift approval of the Ashe-
Allegheny project was not a
surprise to those who have de-
voted great deal of time during
the past two months working up
the project in the two counties, but
they were mildly surprised and
deeply gratified that the amount
of money allOcated to the pro-
iect was over $3OO, 100000.
eyes, the amount ( allotted was
more than anticipated" Gwyn Price,
one of the Ashe county directors of
the Caldwell Mutual Corporation
declared this morning.
On an average, the cost of con-
structing lines runs around $1,000
per mile. Ashe county's applica-
ton called for 100 miles, serving 952
farmers and Allegheny had 116 miles
with SIS signers.
ses - sL- = 1 . w.
The total mileage submitted in the
original applications was 276, but
il isbelieved that the increase in al
fotment was due rs the anticipation
by REA that many other farmers
will want to take advantage of this
opportunity to get electricity in
their homes Mr.. Price also stated
that the erection of sub-stations will
cost right much money.
eve hope to get electric current
into every home in Ashe and Allie
ghany counties that want it and
where it is practical to do So" Mr..
Price said.
Rapid progress was made in
working up this project and the
farmers certainly co-operated splen-
didly with the farm agent offices and
the Caldwell Mutual Association in
putting it over.
"A great deal of credit is also due
to Congressman R. L. Doughton,
whose time, efforts and strong in
f1uence was a contributing factor in
the approval and allotment by REA
in Washington" he stated.
''This project was started and put
over in about two months time,

 Uncle Harry, of The Democrat, who reads the funnies daily over Station WATR, presided as master of ceremonies.

 The youngsters joined in singing traditional Christmas carols and popular songs of yesterday and to- day.
 Many of the boys and girls were on hand long before the per- formance was scheduled to start. Cntched in their hands were bags and parcels containing almost every conceivable item of food, their con- tribution to the Christmas happi- ness of the needy.
 When the show started at 10 o'clock the theater was crowded. The boys and girls applauded long and vociferously during the movie and stage show, and joined happily in the group singing.
 They seemed to agree that this

Rabbi Wise To Deliver Message To Christians

In keeping with tradition the arl- nual Jewish message to the Chris tians on their great religious festi- val will be offered by Rabbi Jonah B. Wise of the Central Synogogus in New York City at 700 p. m., EST, this evening. Rabbi Wise vii broad cast his special statement to Chris tians on the Message of Israel pro- gram heard weekly at the same time and over the same network Follow ing is Rabbi Wise's message: The approaching season marks alike the celebration by those of us of the Christian faiths of the birth of Him who preached the doctrine of Peace On Earth to Men of Good WILT, and by those of us of the Jewish faith of the valiant deeds of the Macca- beans in battling for the Lord and the right to worship Him.
 'The perpetuation of those great principles as living forces in the af- fairs of the world can best be had through the media of our respec- tive places of religious worship. 'The responsibility for that perpetuation of our churches and synagogues lies upon each individual among us, and at this season of the year and in this crisis in the worlds civilization must be actively assumed by all. "All religious institutions and men and women of faith and vision must continue to teach peace and fight for freedom"
 Rabbi Wise is veteran broad caster and a civic leader both in sectarian and non-sectarian activi- ties. Under his direction The Mes sage of Israel is conducted as a re- dgious service in accordance with Jewish ritual, including appropriate music.

Free Lodging! Fewer Vagrants, How ever, Requ c sting Parking Space'
 at P office
 Station.

Requests for lodging at the po- lice station are fewer this year than last, police reported today. Ordinarily in the winter there aye from 15 to 20 destitute men who go to police headquarters to sleep for the nignt but this win- ter the average has been only about 10 a night.
 Doorman Patrick Reilly said to- day that there were six Iodgers last night and the night before. The highest total for any night in the past week has been 12.
 The men seeking lodging for the night apply to the desk of fieer. They are allowed to sleep in cells in the police jail, but are segregated from the prisoners. Many of them bring bundles of newspapers, which they use to lie on, and to take out little of the hardness from the stiff pal lets.
 Many of the lodgers are "regu- lars', going to the station for many nights at a time. In the past year there have been 173O men given lodgings at the station.
 The number usually increases at Christmas time, but this year, for some reason, it hasn't. And for the lodgers, as they leave the police station at 6 o'clock tomor- row morning, it won't be Christ mas, but just another day.
