Goering easily is the most pop
Mar man in the Nazi party. The
common man can understand his
speeches. His audiences usually
leave in good humor because OF
saIlies, often at his own expense.
His sense of humor goes so far
that he collects jokes on himself.
One favorite topic of these
Jokes is the prime minister's love
for uniforms. Others are anec-
Totes that have to do with Goer-
ing's love for lion cubs. A baby
lion is a constant house pet in the
Goering home.
To the outside world, Goering is
primarily the man who ruthlessly
and uncompromisingly pursues
the course he considers right. Il

An Intended s.
Mistaken For IL
L. S. Scott And Not L. L. Scott
Given Suspended Sentence
Last Week.

It was inadvertently stated in
last weeks paper that L. L. Scott
was given a two years condition
al, suspended sentence in the
Ashe superior court for assault
with a deadly weapon.
The victim of this trial was
''L. S. Scott" and not 81. L.
Scott. In the courts records, the
letter of the initials looked some
what like an "L" instead of an
IS" and hence the mistake.
The error was called to The
Posts attention by Langdon l..
Scott, prominent local insurance
man who declared that he had
travelled in a number of differ
ent countries and was getting up
in years., but had never been ar
rested no any charge except
speeding in Miami, Fla.
The defendant in the case was
Louie Scott, of the Fleetwood Sec
ton. He was convicted of as
saulting his wife. The conditional
suspended sentence provided that
he should remain sober, of good
behavior and support his wife
and children. He was also taxed
with the cost of court.

Hidden Taxes Take $lO2,O24
In Retail Sales, Survey Shows

Families in Ashe county pay
$102,024 annually in taxes on
their retail purchases alone, ac-
cording to a survey by the Ma
tional Consumers Tax Commits
sion.
Most of that amount is paid
through hidden taxes in prices
on food, clothing, fuel, medicine
and other daily purchases, a re-
port of the survey stated.
The survey, directed from the
commissions headquarters in Chi
cago, was made public through
Mrs. Rufus L. Allen, of Waynes-
vile, the North Carolina member
of the commissions national COM
mittee. She said the analysis was
based on total retail sales in the
county's 1856 stores of $640,O00, as
reported by the u. S. Bureau OF
the Census.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1938-11-03

Mrs. Allen, describing the COM
mission as representing a nation
wide fight by housewives on hid
den and direct taxes that penal
ize the consumer" declared:
every day shoppers, whether
they know it or not, carry a ma
jor share of the nations $780,
100000 tax burden. Hidden tax
es, increasing the cost of even
the necessities of life, furnish So
percent of all local, state and ma
tional revenues"
Mrs. Allen, who said commits
sion units are being organized
through North Carolina in the
nationwide fight, pointed out the
Ashe County tax figure concerns
retail sales only and does not in
clude the many other taxes, hid
den and direct, which families
here have to pay.
