Horatio .. Quessonberry, OF

states outstanding agriculture
teachers, has been appointed as
sistant farm agent in Ashe coun-
ty. c. J. Rich, county agent has
announced.
Mr.. Qucssenberry assumed his

Oppose Raid

Many Object To The Diver

1t was generally concluded by
limited survey here this week
that the people of this section
are against diversion of highway
funds which is now under consid-
Grafton by the State Legislature.
In an effort to balance the
budget, it has been proposed to
divert $7,OOO,OOO.OO from the
highway fund into the general
fund. Due to the holly contested
question of the diversion of the
funds, The Skyland Post is con-
Quoting a straw ballot on the
question and is asking the read
ers to unofficially express their
opinions on the matter by filling
out the ballot printed elsewhere
in today's paper.
Among the many organized
groups which opposed the diver
sion is the oil industry.

ne asserted.
Syphilis can be handed down
to the third and fourth genera
tions, he said and fifteen percent
of blindness is caused by it and
ten percent of all crippled con-
ditions.
This horrible social disease is
both durable and preventable and
therefore it is important for
everyone to have blood test
made. If caught in time, it will
respond to treatment and thus
enable the person to live and to
not spread it.
Free tests and treatments are
given at the office of the health
department and the law requires
all servants to have health GER
tifcates.
DR.. King said the response to
the health department in this
county has been splendid. He
also announced that around $500
worth of new equipment has been
purchased for the Office. "But we
still need more room," he assert
ed.

Can Be Cured And
Prevented, DR.. King States

The progress that is being made
by the public health department
here, in the state and through
out the nation in the treatment
and prevention of the insidious
social disease, syphilis, was inter-
estingly described by DR.. Robert
E. King in talk before the JEFF
Persons Rotary Club last Thurs
day night.
DR.. King, who is health officer
of the tri-county health depart
ment, stated that there are a mil
lion new cases of syphilis in
the United States every year.
"It is a disease that is around us
at all times and we never know
when we may get it," he said.
Many contract it innocently
in fact fifty percent of the wom-
en- who have the disease got it
that way, he declared.
Another serious and unfortu-
nate thing about the disease is
that there are $4,000 babies who
die with it each year. IF the
mother will take treatment, sta
tistics show that only one out of
eleven will die, which indicate
importance of such treatment"

Expected To Attend
Presidents Ball Fri. Nieht
To Be Held In Legion Hall.
Al Watson Will Furnish
The Music.

Everything is now in readi-
ness for the Presidents Birthday
Ball to be held here tomorrow
night, chairman Dean Mcmillan
said today in discussing the
event.
A report from the ticket com
mittee shows that many have al
ready purchased their tickets,
and others who have n o t
secured tickets in advance may
do so at the door. A number of
cut Of Town visitors from Boone,
Sparta Statesville end other
nearby places are expected
Al Watson and his orchestra
viii furnish the music, special
decorations will be featured and
refreshments will be served by
the WOman's I ub.
The ball will open at nine
o'clock in the American legion
he'll where final arrangements
have been completed for a very
enjoyable event.
Chairman Mcmillan stated that
tables would be arranged for
bridge and Chinese checker, for
those wishing to play.
This is the second Birthday
Ball to be held in Ashe county
and this year half of all the funds
raised here will be used in the
county for the fight against in
fantile paralysis and for the aid
Of cripple children.
There are at the present time
about 100 cripple children, many
OF whom are in destitute circum-
stances.
The March of Dimes" banks
are still on display in the various
stores where the public can give
i dime and wear button
thus help in the fight against one
Of humarities most dreaded di-
SeaSeS.
1t is but fitting that the Fresi-
dent Of the United States des-
ignated his birthday as an oc-
casion to be enjoyed and to be
used in such worthy cause as to
aid in the fight against infantile
paralysis.
Due to the fact that the date
of the Ashe county ball is little
later than usual, there are no
conflicting celebrations of this
type in the nearby towns which
should insure an unusually good
crowd and successful event
here.
