Thanksgiving Day Is Being

Stores Closed.

Ashe County joins in with the
rest of the county in celebrating
Thanksgiving today. Here as
throughout the nation, the turkey
will appease the appetites of
many, and merchants report that
the traditional pumpkin pie,
cranberries and mince meat will
vie with the king of fowls for
the first place.
But all minds will not be CEN
tered on foods; for many, it
will be a day of rest and true
thanksgiving when attention will
be called to the advantages and
6essings Americans enjoy.
Especial services will be held
ina number of the churches, and
in various sections of the county,
pageants and playlets portraying
the history of Thanksgiving will
be presented.
Here practically all business
activities will cease with the
stores, business offices, post Office,
schools, and industrial plants be-
ing closed. Drug stores and
cafes will remain open as usual.
The live stock market will be
open in the afternoon and the

his friends both young and old
and listen to their gift requests.
Children are especially invited to
come with their parents in order
to see this jolly old man.
Merchants have ordered COM

be on display in order that the
public will have plenty of time
to make their selections early.

furniture, radios, automobiles and
hundreds of other gifts will be
here for selection. A nationwide
survey predicts this, will be a
generous Christmas, due to i'm
proved business conditions, and
that as a whole, gifts will be
more practical. E
But as usual there will be many
new novelty gifts including toys
which have not been shown be-
fore. All types of gifts will be
featured by West Jefferson mer-
chants in order to- enable the peo-
pie of Ashe county to secure just

Four-Day Clinic To Be Held
Dec. 14-17. Tests Open To
Ever body.

DR.. Robert King and the health
nurses are busy making plans for
the tuberculosis clinic which
will be held in the three counties
from December II through 81.
The Ashe clinic will be held
en- the 18th through the 18th. All
physicians and individuals are
asked to cooperate in making
these clinics a success from every
standpoint.
The clinics are open to every
body. Application must be made
at the health department office;
then tuberculin test is given.
This test is entirely harmless and
only those showing positive reac-
tons will be given appointments
to the clinics.
tuberculosis can be cured if it
is caught in it's early stage and all
of those who have been exposed
to it, should take advantage of
this splendid opportunity to
to check up on themselves.
There were nearly 1000 in the
state who died with this terrible
disease last year.
DR.. King will attend a health
officers conference in Raleigh
next Monday and Tuesday, but
Miss Weaver will conduct the
regular weekly clinic Monday at
the Office.
