King Won't Oppose
Further Survey for
D. {. Reorganization
Allen Asks Dr.. Marvin
To Get information
On Tax Matters

Although Chairman King of the
Senate District Committee believes
there Is ample information available
from past surveys of the District
government to form the basis for any
desired reorganization of the mu-
nicipal machinery, he said today
that If the Commissioners decide
they want a further investigation
he will not object.
He was commenting on the recent
announced by the Commissioners AL
len that he had asked DR.. Cloyd
Heck Marvin, president of George
Washington University, to gather
further information on the subject.
Meanwhile, Commissioner Allen
explained today that the request to
DR.. Marvin did not contemplate any
broad, new reorganization survey,
but that his aid was sought merely
as a technical adviser to assist in
obtaining statistics on specific ques-
tions.
For example. he said, he would
like to find out what Washington
gets for its tax dollar in certain mu-
nicipal services as compared with a
group of other cities. For the time
being, he said, the Commissioners
are busy with next years budget and
reorganization will not be considered
in detail by them until that task
Is completed.
He said work with the university
head might get under way by Oc-
tober Is.
Senator King said he plans a con-
ference with the city heads on the
subject of reorganization soon.

HISTORY'S GREAT QUESTION

The great European war certainly took
an unexpected turn Monday when Russian
armies marched into Poland and took pos
session of about one-third of the Inflated
country Germany has just about conquer
ed the other two-thirds of the Poles terri
tory and what will England and France do
now? That is one of historys greatest
questions.
The future course of civilization will be
greatly effected by the decision. Will
France and England make peace with the
Germans and lose their control over Eur
ope to Hitler or will they continue to fight
and will they declare war on Russia or
will Russia help Germany fight them?
Those are the burning questions of the
hour They are questions that are resound-
ing around the world. They are questions
that fill every man, woman and child in
the warning countries with fear.
OF course we want to see Hitler and all
that he. stands for, completely destroyed.
We want to see right rather than might
rule, but there is big question in our
mind as to Frances and England's ability
to lick Germany that is no doubt now in a
position to receive unlimited assistance
from Russia and Communism.
What should the United States do? Next
week our Congress will debate this subject.
In our humble opinion the first thing we
should do is to increase our navy, army and
aerial forces to such mighty proportions
that no other country or groups of coun-
tries in the world will dare fight us. And
second, that we should pass the neutrality
act recommended by President Roosevelt
to sell anything we have to any country
that will come and get it and pay cash fol
it.
If war in Europe and Asia continues for
an indefinite period of time and if we do
not pass such law, business in this coun-
try will inevitably be bad Without our
export market prices on cotton, tobacco,
livestock and grains will slump to a new
low depression level.
But depression or no depression, let's
stay out of another European war and let's
be prepared to defend our borders against
all possible invasion.

this is done.
Free vaccinations against
small pox and typhoid fever are
also given and clinics are being

nations they have had and DR..

officer, is requesting that their

1T HAD TO COME

It doesn't reflect credit on the states
manship of the world that any one man,
particularly a non-too-competent paper
hanger is able to plunge the world into
conflict-War that has no more justifica-
ton than the satisfying of human greed
for power.
In spite of all his protestation the world
the present world misery that comes from
armed conflict. In his insane madness he
has proven himself a genius in stiff-arm
diplomacy, and his success in getting what
ever he has wanted without bloodshed, at
once inspired his people and sWelled his
ego to the point where he sincerely believ-
ed himself a superhuman, not ever to be
denied anything he coveted.
European statesmen know now that they
trusted him too far, that he sucked them
in for a nice ride down the river; they
know that if, when he set out to occupy
the Rhineland, he had met resistance, his
soldiers already had their orders to retreat;
that if England and France had kept a
stiff upper lip at Munich there would not
have been the gobbling up of Czechoslo-
vakia. And if today the Czech army and
the Skoda munitions plant, the second lar
gest in the world were available to Britain
and France instead of being potential as
set to Germany, the present task would be
a lot easier.
But it had to come-this organized eff
fort to hunt down Europe's mad dog and
remove him as a threat to world society
and civilization. For everyone knows that
Britain and France are not fighting for
Danzig or the Polish corridor. Even Poland
would not consider Danzig worth the mis-
cry of war and would have been willing
to barter with the corridor. But Hitler's
bloodless successes had to be stopped some
where, else the British and French en-
pires fall.-The Elkin Tribune.

NEGRO GETS ANOTHER BOOST

Hitler and his widely expanding war in
Europe have been dominating the news
columns of daily newspapers in this coun-
try for the past several weeks, but they
have not prevented Ashe county's prize
scenic attraction from getting a nice piece
of publicity.
Thanks to the advertising division of the
North Carolina Department of Conserva-
ton and Development, large picture por
traying an excellent view Of Negro Noun
tain, appeared in last Sundays metrogra-
vure section Of The Baltimore Sun.
This famous mountain peak, that lifts its
majestic head to an elevation of LOO feet
over the Jeffersons and from whose crest
one can see the grandest view in Eastern
America, occupied a space Of seven inches
bv ten inches wide in the color section Of
this widely circulated national newspaper.
On the front cover page Of a recent is
sue of the popular STATE magazine, pub
lished at Raleigh by Carl Goerch, view
of mountain scene was featured over the
caption of Negro Mountain"
Unfortunately the picture was not made
on or near Negro Mountain, but neverthe-
less it was splendid mountain shot" and
that also gave the county some more good
publicity, advertently or inadvertently.

SEE ASHE COUNTY AT THE FAIR

Ashe countians differ little from most
people elsewhere, in that they attend cele-
brations, "to see and be SEEM" All indica-
tons now suggest that the Ashe County
Fair will surely serve both purposes; for
there will be much to be seen and many
people to see each other.
There are approximately 200 classifi-
cations under which exhibits will be group
ed and entered, which means that there
will be hundreds of home and farm pro-
dues, livestock, poultry, fruits, flowers,
novelties and other superior articles that
will represent the best in the county. All
of this, together with amusement and 9TH
er special events of the fair which include
address by the Governor football and ath
letic events, pony races and many other
features, will be we'll worth seeing and
hearing. No public-spirited Ashe county
man, woman, or child, who is physically
able to do so, can afford to miss the fair.
Those who enter their products will
have a special interest in the event, for
they will have an active part in it and will
IdhS CIlS VI CIlS11
entries with Others Those who have no ex-
hibits of their own, will surely be interest
ed in those of their friends and neighbors
as we'll as all others which are sure to have
much merit
Visitors at the Ashe County Fair will
have an opportunity to meet with humid
reds of friends and relatives. It will be
celebration to attract thousands, not only
from Ashe, but from other sections. To
many who have gone elsewhere to live, it
will probably serve as homecoming. And
we are sure that this group will look with
pride and pleasure on the progress in the
county as will be reflected by the exhibits.
The merchants of West jefferson are
making complete plans to serve visitors in
every possible way, so that those who at
tend may not only "see and be seen," but
may attend to necessary business. Restau-
ants and places of amusements, will
provide food and entertainment. Every
thing has been planned so that all fair
visitors will spend their time pleasantly
and profitably.
To the farmers in Ashe and adjoining
counties we extend a most cordial invita-
ton to enter exhibits and to attend the
fair!
