SEEING is BELIEVING

There is an old saying eta
tiers is taters'', but there have
been some grown in Ashe coun-
ty this year far above the ave-
rage. Last week DR.. Roger Barr,
brought in the crop from one hill
which has not only large in num-
Der but in size.
Yesterday Fred Coward, we'll
known farmer brought in some
extra large Red Bliss, one of
which could pass off for a frog
or an owl, this along with DR..
Bars is in the window, showing
that there is a difference in po-
tatoeS!

FISHERMAN'S PROOF
TELFAIR, Jr.

Fishing may be for luck or
fame, but Jack Rhodes, Com
mander of the Ashe county unit
of the American Legion is not
interested in "fish tales. He is
getting ready OF 60 to Lake
James for few days outing and
one of the first pieces of equip
ment he looked for was a good
camera. 81 am going to bring
back proof of what I CATCH" he
said. When it was suggested that
he could take some pictures of
the other fellows fish, Jack de-
clared no one would think that
he was such a poor sport as that.

A SMALL CATCH

Another fish story heard this
week which smells of Jonah and
the whale, was related by John
Donnelly, we'll known school
man and insurance salesman.
With a straight face John relat-
ed how he was out trying his
luck for bass and cast with his
hook baited with mhnnoW.
When he felt a tug he immedi-
ately jerked his line out of the
water, but the bass was too
quick for him. He had devoured
the minnow and escaped the
hook. John being a good fisher
man cast again for this same fish.
When he felt the tug of the line
he waited a few seconds in or
der for the bass to get a good
hold this time. When he drew out
his line he had not the bass, but
strange as it may seem two min
noWs, his first and second bait.
All of which proves there is
something to be caught in Ashe
county.

of getting out of Ashe county to
"shake the ashes from her feet
and to secure something more
than sack cloth to wear. But she
reported that she only travelled
as far as North Wilkesboro be-
fore she was ready to come
back. "Old Sol made it so hot for
me I was glad to get back to
Ashe", she said.

Birds usually pick more or less
a permanent foundation for their

For Navy Air Bases
Goes 10 President
Senote's Amendments
Accepted by House
Without Objections
by the Associated pr...

BY the Associated Press.
The House completed congress
sional action today on a see, 800 900
bill authorizing a chain of New
Navy air bases in Alaska, the mid.
Pacific and Puerto Rico. The meas.
ure now goes to the White House.
The House accepted, without a
ripple OF objection, Senate amend
ments adding $17,O00,OOO South
eastern air base near Jacksonville,
Fla, and an authorization to spend
81 100000 for acquisition of land for
similar base at Quonsett Point,

mended by the Naval Committee.

the House passed yesterday bill
authorlzing the Civil Aeronautics
Authority to start training $4,000
civilian air pilots A similar measure
has passed the Senate.
Necessity Explained.
Explaining why he thought the
naval bill was necessary, Chair
man Walsh of the Senate Naval
Committee told the Senate that
last years expansion bill, which
doubled the Navys air force, was
likely to bring about "a situation
where we have planes in the air
and no place to land them"
He said the program would carry
out a bare minimum of improve
ments recommended by a special
naval board which had asked $685.
600 900 for shore improvements.
1t was planned, Senator Walsh
told the Senate, to spend about s2O.-
100000 this year, $24,OOO,OOO next
year and an additional $4,000, 900
the third year.
A threatened controversy was
avoided when the Senate Commit
tee, following the lead of the House,
shelved proposal for $4,000 900 of
harbor improvements at the Pacific
Island Of Guam, within flying range

Text of Roosevelt Letter
Advises Young Democrats to
Keep Party Democratic

pend on it that it will be the other
fellows regime.
We shall forfeit the multitude of
Republican liberals who voted with
us in 80 and SO If we shift our
ground. Even those men and women
with little or no aff1liation with
either party and who went with us
because We voiced their principles,
will quit us in disgust if we throw
them down now.
We can also destroy our chances
by fratricide. No victories are won
by shooting at each other. There
never was, and never will be, a DO
itical party whose policies abso-
lutely fit the views of all its men,
bers. Where men are at variance
with the course their party is taking.
1t seems to me there are only two
honorable courses-to join a party
that more accurately mirrors their
ideas, or to subordinate their preju-
dices and remain loyal.
I do not mean by this, of course,
that they are not quite within their
rights when they seek to change the
program. 1t would be poor sort
Of politician or statesman who did
not fight for his sincere principles,
but that is a different thing from
allying themselves with their party's
enemies and getting in a stab wher-
ever and whenever they can do so
safely.
Way to Victory.
I have pointed out the ways in
which our party can destroy itself:
now may suggest how victory,
which is quite within our reach, can
be won next year?
Instead Of suicide or fratricide,
what is the matter with our own
side? Whenever the party was
Democratic it won. Whenever it
offered the country an ersatz Repub-
hcanism, the people spurned the
imitation and sent our party to stand
In a corner until it had learned its
lesson. Unfortunately, 1t sometimes
takes from 10 to 20 years to accom-
plish the requisite re-education.
Suppose, for a change-and you
know am frequently accused of
being devoted to change-we learn
our lesson this time without being
sent to the corner to mediate?
This country of ours is democratic
with a small 3D." It is never, and
never will be democratic with
big d." except when the two words
mean the same thing.
With the highest hopes and ex-
pectations that the Young Democrats
will continue with their youthful
enthusiasm, and yet retain their
their old faith as enunciated by
Thomas Jefferson and Andrew
Jackson,
Very sincerely yours,
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.
Evening star., 1939-04-20

The text of President Roosevelt's
message last night to the Young
Democratic Clubs of America at
their junior jackson Day dinner
follows:
My Young Friends:
1t is to my great regret that I can
not be with you in this celebration
in memory of the first President who
demonstrated to the world that
democracy was workable. On you
now depends the future of the DEM
ocratic party. More important even
than that, on you depends the fu-
ture of our country.
Party organization is the vehicle
by which the modified sentiment of
the United States gets anywhere.
If the chaudeurs of the organiza-
ton are wise in picking the course,
the going is good and the destina-
ton aimed at is reached. If, on the
other hand. they are witless, the
organization will find itself on a
rocky road and the probabilities Of
fiat tires and other breakdowns are
so great that the will Of the people
gets nowhere.
See Reversal in Alternative.
This means distress to the party,
Of course, and likewise distress to the
Nation. For in the present political
and economic situation the alterna-
tive in the event Of a failure for our
party to keep straight ahead is for
the country to find itself travelling
In the direction exactly opposite to
that 1t has in mind.
incidentally, the progress of our
political car is not helped by the
clamor of the back-seat drivers, who
point out the apparent smoothness
of the detours of compromise and
subterfuge, and complain Of the
speed Of our going.
The Democratic party Of itself
cannot elect a President. The Re-
publican party is in the same fix.
This is fortunate for all Of US, for
1t means that no party can continue
in power unless its policies are such
as to add to its basic strength the 10
or more millions Of votes that are
cast for ideas and ideals, rather
than because of the emblem at the
top of the ticket.
Party Can Defeat Itself.
In the campaign we are now ap-
preaching there Is just one agency
potent enough to defeat the Demo-
cratic party. and that is the Demo-
cratic party itself. It can commit
suicide by abandonment of the pol
icies that brought it to power. There
is no use fooling ourselves. If we are
to have a reactionary regime-or If
that term Is too horrific-call 1t a
conservative regime, you may de-
