PARAGRAPHS

A growing hobby can grow on one SO
steadily that the most amateur gardener
soons becomes quite an expert. Those who
have never planted flowers and watched
the results of their labor have missed a
great experience; for like Bovee we believe
that, ''To cultivate garden is to walk with
God" In many sections of Ashe county can
be seen beautiful fall flowers which are
definite proof that there are many who
have had part in the creation of beauty.
Have you ever stopped to think what des-
olate place home is without flowers? 1t
is like a face without smile. When you
once start the cultivation of flowers you
will find it hobby we'll worth cultivating.

RURAL LEADERSHIP

RURAL LEADERSHIP
An article by Neil M. Clark in current
issue of the Country Gentleman tells an in
spring story of the progress made by tiny
village and four rural townships in Ohio
through cooperative effort.
Under the direction of a telegraph opera
tor who had the gift of leadership, the peo-
pie of Flat Rock formed a program COM
cry civic and social organization in the
community. The superintendent of the
Sunday schools, the chairman of the school
committee, the president of the PIT. A.,
the head Of the Womans Club, the leaders
in fraternal orders, members of the town
ship board, ct al, were included in one
committee which took upon itself the study
of community needs of every type
But mere organization isn't enough,
and the progressive Flat Rock folks knew
this. Behind every program was packed
the punch of determination and aggressive
action. In order to prevent confusion and
work at cross purposes, the main COM
mittee appointed special "committess of
one" to work on certain projects. Thus if
better mail service was desired, one man
was assigned the task of comforting with
the postal authorities; if better roads were
sought, one man who was we'll informed
on this matter was given the "go ahead"
sign.
Flat Rock was located two or three
miles from the up-and coming little city
of Bellevue. But Bellevue was in diffe-
rent county. So when there was fire in
Flat Rock or if library books were needed
in Flat Rock, Bellevue was not in position
to serve the community.
But the people of Flat Rock and the
residents in four other townships in and
around Bellevue got state law enacted
which enabled Bellevue to afford these
communities fire protection, the communi-
ties paying a certain amount for the serv-
ice. A plan was also worked out whereby
the public library of Bellevue could serve
the people in these areas and receive ade-
quate compensation. Under the committee
plan Flat Rock and other communities of
the section have also effected many other
public improvements, obtaining better
roads, promoting Identification of high
ways, cemeteries, obtaining more efficient
snow pillow service, and so on.
The extraordinary volunteer experiment
in rural social leadership and cooperation
has attracted the attention of the federal
government and national civic groups, MIR.
Clark states. It was designed primarily to
aid one rural section in getting needed
things done, but it's exemplary values are
nationwide in importance.
What this Ohio community has done,
any rural community in North Carolina
can do provided that it has the right sort
of leadership. (Winston Salem JournaD

ly, long associated with yarns
and the Helton Mills, can con-
tinue to point with pride at the
use of yarns; for Mrs. Carl
Francis, one of the newest men,
bers of the family, a grand
daughter by marriage to Mrs.
Herbert Littlewood, has one Of
the most complete assortment Of
knit suits, dresses, sweaters and
coats we have ever seen. And
believe it or not she made them
all herself!
Progress In Fairs
Mrs. Herbert LittleWood, one of
Ashe county's best known and
beloved women who visited the
fair yesterday spoke over the
microphone and told of her visit
to the Ashe county fair, 20 years
ago. She related how it required
around seven hours to travel
from her home at Helton, to the
fair, and the same to return; but
how it was all worth the long
trip. She stated that she paid SOC
to take her first automobile ride
at that time. The exhibits were
fine, but are better this time as
we'll as being many more, she
said" This is the finest fair in
the finest county in the state,
she said. All of which sounds
mighty good considering it comes
from one of the finest women in
the county.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1939-09-28

This week, the writer like most
everyone else, has been so occu-
pied with the fair that she had
little time to gas or CAB with the
many people who have been in
town this week. And of course
we have seen much more than
we have heard incidentally if
there are any readers who have
not seen the fair, be sure to do
so. From the standpoint of exhi-
bits, we have heard hundreds
say that it is the best they have
seen in this section in many a
year. Most of them are really
fair minded about fairs too!
A Rose To Grant
We must pause to hand a posle
to Grant Bauguess of Jefferson
on his unusually beautiful roses
entered in the fair. Perhaps Mrs.
Bauguess had much to do with
them too, but they are beautiful
enough for several to have had
a hand in their care. We offer
orchids to Mrs. J. N. Tulbert on
the size and beauty of her dab
las which are a credit to Ashe
county of any other county or
state as far as that goes. To all
of the other flower growers who
contributed the many beautiful
blossoms which make up the dis
play, we offer congratulations.
Like Keats we believe a thing of
beauty is a JOY forever, and to
us, nothing is more beautiful
than flowers, even if they are
short-lived.
A Lot of Canned Stuff
To the readers, this column
may read like a lot of canned
stuff, on many occasions in spite
Of the efforts we put forth to
make it original. But even so we
would not mind if it tasted as
good as all of the thousands of
jars of fruit now on exhibit at
the fair. Mrs. Glenn GRAPHICAL,
efficient superintendent of this
department, declared she did not
know there was that much in
Ashe county. Mrs. w. G. Thomas
who so ably assisted her, said, Il
am just thrilled to DEATH. I be-
lieve most everyone else who has
seen this exhibit can echo Mrs
Thomas sentiments.
A Stitch In Time
It would be impossible to &C
to press without commenting on
the wide variety of beautiful
needlework which definitely
shows that the women have sew
ed many a fine seam employing
millions Of stitches and all in
plenty of time for the fair. We
are grateful for the fact that we
only had the job of entering anc
not judging this. After examin.
ing it all, it would be an impos.
sibility for us to decide on the
prize winners. Here is a yarn
worth repeating because it con-
Germs yarn. The Littlewood fani.

 cast in England

VERDUN, France, May 8.-The Duke of Windsor addressed the world this afternoon from the World War fortress of Verdun in an appeal to "all political leaders" for avoid ance of new World War.
 The former British King, making his first broadcast since his abdica- tion speech, said he spoke simply as a soldier in the last war whose most earnest prayer is that such cruel, destructive madness shall nev- CT again overtake mankind"
 The speech was broadcast over the United States by the National Broad casting Company while the British King and Queen were crossing the Atlantic for a tour of America.
 The address was relayed over French government radio, but was not broadcast in England.
 The Duke of Windsor spoke from a radio car brought from Stras- bourg to the inn where he and the Duchess are staying during tour of World War battlefields.
 The Duke appealed for peace in the following words:
 Tn the name of those who fell in the last war, urge all political leaders to be resolute in the dis charge of their mission. appeal to them in the name of the living whose existence and happiness is in their hands and I appeal to them especially in the name of the youth of the present day with all of it's incalculable potentialties of future service to the human race.'

NEWS (AMERAMEN HAVE TOUGH TIME, SOMETIMES
 GETTING PERSONAL SHOTS
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, May 8. - This job of being President of the United states involves an immense amount of eye-strain aside from the task of reading thousands of words daily. A sample of it came while President Roosevelt was delivering before the Pan-American union his speech promising economic help to South American nations trying to keep out of the clutches of the totalitar- ian states.
 He spoke in the "Hall of the Americas" a costly room built with Car wgie money in which the ambassadors of the Americas meet at times. Tn the center of the room is a huge table. it's mahogany sur- face shining like an auto body.
 To one side is rack supporting the 22 flags of the American na- tions. In one end of the room for this occasion was a double decker stage crowded with news film cam eras.
 Beside the cameramen and slight ly forward were two powerful lights reflecting straight at the President and at the two rows of diplomats gathered along the oval sides of the table to hear his speech. The lights bored into the Presidents face as he read It is nearly always that way, for news cameras need plenty of light and they pour it on.

 Also King said htat more than a thousand reindeer had floated on a single floe near Kivalina for week along with their wolf pursuers before a shift in currents brought the foe to shore and permitted them to escape.
 Another two thousand reindeer were marooned on floes near Shish- maref, King said, and escaped only after hundreds had been ground between the ice floes or drowned.
 The ravages of wolves were visible in many places from the air, with reindeer bodies half devoured or merely slain and left to rot on the frozen grounds.
 While flying low near Kotzebue, King shot wolf with shotgun.
