Lansing Wins
Over Boone

Lansing High schools baseball
eleven won their third game of
the season Tuesday afternoon by
defeating Boone 81 when Stan
Gill, LansiAg's catcher broke the
TT tie in the last half of the
ninth irming, by hitting a homer
deep into left field which broke
all previous records for length.
The ball which sailed approx
r'lately ITS yards in the air went
far beyond the branch an observ-
er said.
This was a return game with
Boone as Lansing had opened the
season by defeating them 1913
on their own grounds. The Lans-
ing eleven have defeated team
from the town of Lansing, this
season by score of SO. South
paw Lefty Blevins was in the
box for Lansing in the game with
Boone on Tuesday. Coach Robert
Morphis said that he was looking
forward to a successful season.

To Have
Dinner Sat. P. NJ.
Will Meet At West Jefferson
Hotel To Discuss Bldg.
Plans.

P. c. Wright, chairman of the
ways and means committee of the
American Legion Post announced
this week that there would be a
dinner meeting of the legion at
the West Jefferson Hotel, Satur-
day night at 7:30 o'clock and ask
ed that all members be present.
In addition to regular business
matters, much of the meeting
will be taken up with the discus
sion of plans for the proposed le-
gion building.
The building received approval
last week as a WPA project in
the sum of $4,000. It is neces-
sary for the sponsors to match
this with $4,000. Through the
cooperation of the Ashe county
board of education the sight
across from the Goss boarding
house is to be used for the build
ing.
Mr.. Wright who is past COM
mander of the Ashe county post
of the American legion and pre-
sent commander of the 18th dis
trict, has long been interested in
a legion building here. In discuss
ing the possibilities Mr.. Wright
said that with one hundred per
cent cooperation he believed the
required funds could be raised.
There will be no charge to the
members for the dinner and all
legion members are urged to
come.

Roy Badger Points Out Needs
For Ashe Hospital. Says OPP
pOrtunity Is Golden.

Yes, indeed, hospital in Ashe
county is certainly badly need
3D." Roy Badger declared yester-
day.
Sunday l took a patient to the
Wilkes hospital and while there
l decided to check up and see
how many Ashe county people
were in the hospital as patients
that day.
"Believe-it-or-not, there were
fifteen and maybe more" he said.
Il believe l can name most of
them Joe Neal, Mrs. w. B.
Austin, Miss Gladys Sturgill,
Mrs. Earl Parsons, Mrs. Kilby,
Lansing; Mrs. Gather McNeill,
Patsy Badger, Fred Cooks son,
Mrs. Tom Shatley, Bassett

Mrs. Roger Barr, Jackson Bark

Miller"
And that is not all either" he
continued, 81 knew of four or
five other Ashe county people
who were in hospitals in other
towns that day. In addition to
that, there were probably fifteen
other people in this section who
would have been in hospital if
we had had one here; they need
to 60, but just don't feel able to
60 that far away from home" he
said.
1--WE now have the project ap-
proved and this is certainly a
golden opportunity for us to
make that dream come true. We
need the hospital and can get it,"
he concluded.
Mr.. Badger speaks from exper-
fence about the need. Every week
his firm makes several ambu-
lance trips to take Ashe people
to hospitals. Some time we have

Location For
Ashe Hospital
Wanted At Once
Appeal Issued For Offers To
Give Suitable Location.
Needs Are Cited.
By WADE ELLER
Locations Committee Chairman

Locations commune CnalrHldA
It is now time to decide defl-
nitely upon a specific location for
the WPA hospital. Much work
has been done to promote this
project to it's present status.
Surely no further need exists for
selling the idea of Ashe county's
need for a hospital of its own.
Nobody can expect reasonably
that the thing will mature of it's
own accord into a complete plant.
Such a community enterprise
ought to enlist the full support
and cooperation of every man,
woman and child to bring it into
being.
Those people who have been
forced to leave this county and
60 to distant places for treatment
are appreciative of the help they
received; but no doubt they
would have been glad many
times to have been near enough
to their home to have seen their
own families frequently. Those
who remained at home felt the
intense loneliness caused by the
sense of such distance between
I themselves and their dear ones
who were i'll and away from
home.
Beyond these more or less SEN
timental attitudes are the great
numbers of people who find
themselves unable in any way to
obtain the aid procurable from a
modern hospital. This applies
particularly to the trying times
incident to childbirth. Only mo-
theirs themselves know how they
need to have their courage forti-
fled by an assured access to the
conditions offered for their pro-
lection and nursing during the
hardest of all times that moth
ers must pass through.
The Ashe County Hospital AS
ISOLATION through its committees
is struggling to realize the estab-
lishment of a good modern hos
pital within this good county. It
is to be hoped that all forces will
unite without fear or favor and
pull hard together in a thorough
ly Christian spirit to do this
thing, which is the largest single
good thing that has probably ev-
er been offered to the people of
Ashe County.
+ It appears to be most desirable
that the hospital should be locat-
ed somewhere within a radius of
three miles including the two
towns of Jefferson and West JET
ferson. It also seems mandatory
that a location should be large
enough in area to care for con-
siderable future development,
and that the land should be Of
fered as a donation to the pro-
ject. 1t is most urgent that all
interested parties should make
their offers at once, because the
location committee and the asso-
citation will shortly be compelled
in behalf of the interests of the
project to give its consideration
to the location as offered. This
question must be settled so that
it will not delay the finance
drive. Who has a location to offer
as a memorial?
