INSANE MAN ARMED
FOR HUN AIR ATTACK

Levin Armwood, aged Princess
Anne negro, was arrested last week
after losing his mind and going on a
rampage. After shooting through
the wall of Mr.. and Mrs. James Tay-
lor's apartment, the negro was locat-
ed by Deputy I. Fred Phoebus, Jr.,
and John Wilson. He was seated in
the hall of the old Tackle Mansion
with loaded shot gun across his
knee, razor in his pocket and ham,
mer by his side. The negro evident
ly had illusions of an approaching air
raid, as he kept saying, "Give me my
gun boys, I've got to hold the fort,
the Germans are coming"
He was entered in the State Hos
pital at Brownsville.

Maryland farmers, a weekend sur

The strawberry crops, marketed
over relatively short period of time,

are said to be in fairly good condi-
ton. The crop is expected to move
during the latter part of next month.
Dairy farmers likewise have been
hard hit by the weather which pre-

THE WAR OUTLOOK

Newest ominous note in the discordant
European martial symphony has been
sounded by Italy During recent weeks,
press attacks against France and England
have been intensified. The Berlin-Moscow
alliance has been soft-pedalled. And news
papers which are known to speak for high
government officials-who, in turn, speak
for Mussolini-have lately announced that
Italy may not be able to stay out of war
much longer, the intimation being that she
will throw in with Germany.
What will come of this remains to be
smoke than fire-that Italy is using vague
threats in an attempt to cement her influ
ence with the smaller European states.
These experts point out that the Italian
people have never been particularly fond
of Germany, and don't like or trust Hit
ler They also point out that Mussolini's
cardinal point of foreign policy has been
his anti-bolshevik stand, and now Germany
and Russia are formally friends. And last
ly, they argue that the italian military
forces, despite feverish war preparations,
are not of calibre to meet another major
army on even terms and that, due to her
geographical position, Italy is easy to in
wade from France.
There is also the possibility that Musso-
lini is waiting to see whether the Allies
or the Germans appear to be winning the
war, and that his future policy will be gui-
ded by what he decides in that respect.
And certainly, at the moment it's extreme
ly difficult to figure out which side really
has the edge.
In the Scandinavia seige, however, the
Allies are apparently getting the best of
Germany and if they do not, their future
prospects will look very dark because in
this encounter Germany is challenging the
strength of Englands powerful navy.
In other words to cut off supplies to
the Allies from Norway and Sweden and
to divert them to Germany, Hitler is TAX
ing great chance of striking at England's
strongest point, her navy.
BY attacking the Norwegians, Germany
has clearly demonstrated to all small
countries of Europe that they are in grave
, danger.
Who will win the war and what imme-
diate turns will it take, nobody knows.

PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE

Practically all of the candidates for gov
ernor are stressing the value and impor-
lance of expanding North Cardinals pub
lie health service program.
Under the direction of DR.. Reynolds, this
state already has the reputation of having
one of the broadest public health pro-
grams in the nation, and yet it is not ade-
quate. r,svs, ss,asas.u.sssz,es.asas
We do not believe in the ultra-modern
theory of socialized medicine, but in the
field of preventative and educational work
there is great need for the services of
health departments. So
Of primary concern to any government
should be the health of its people. Through
an immunization program in preventing
the spread of contagious diseases a health
department renders a distinct service to
every citizen.
The report of the Ashe County Health
Department, printed elsewhere in this is
sue, shows exactly what this agency is do
ing in the county, It's services are indeed
varied and extensive.

BETTER HOMES WEEK

throughout the nation Better Homes
Week" will be observed from April % to
May 4, and Tar Heels are urgently reques-
ted by Governor Hoey to better "our'
homes during this period.
It is inaeed fitting to heed his plea. With
nature hIossoraing in all its glory, it is due
time fof our homes to be made little
more attractive to match the surround
ing beauty. aasas.
Nowhere can there be found slopes as
green as those right here in Ashe cour-
ty. Nowhere can there be found peaceful
beauty such as we have. But our homes, are
they in harmony with the natural beauty?
Sometimes we lose sight of the tree be-
cause of the. forest. Specifically, we tend
to overlook our homes while looking at ma
ture in the Spring. More emphasis should
be placed onshomelife and community bet
terment.
This can be accomplished by beginning
at home, making the home attractive as
we'll as convenient Use a little paint; plant
some little shrubs; anything and every
thing that will bring joy into the home.
It is also good time to build home of
your own . to make your dreams come
true!

A STABLE MARKET

The Kraft Cheese plant here affords our
farmers the best opportunity they have for
getting some real "cash" every two weeks
during the entire year.
There is never week that this plant
fails to buy all of the milk it can get local
ly Over production, abundance of grass
and general weather conditions do not eff
feet the purchasing power of this estab-
lishment In other words, it offers the far
mers a good, stable market.
The extent;of profit made from the sale
of milk to the cheese plant, however, de-
ponds primarily upon two things: first, the
quality of the7cow itself and feeding.
Cows cannot give an abundant supply
of good, rich milk unless they are given the
proper food and enough of it. Good COWS
have big appetites and can eat as much as
one hundred pounds of grass day.
The cheese plant is not only worth
great deal to our farmers, but also to the
business and professional men whose well
fare is directly dependent upon the farm
population.
Therefore, every business man in the
county should be big booster for the
cheese plant and farmers should give more
serious consideration to improving their
herds and to. having better pasture lands
and to having more feed during the winter
months.
The series,of pictures that will be shown
in the county next week are both enter
