No permanent peace or terms
will be arrived at until the con-
clusion of the war with Britain.
German prisoners held in France
are to be released but French
prisoners are to be held until the
conclusion of the peace. French
troops are to turn over all wea-

to be allowed in the air and no
war materials manufactured in
the areas of France not occupied
by Germans.
There are many other condi-
lions imposed on France which
prohibit the citizens as well as
the nation from assisting England
in any manner. The carrying out
of the armistice conditions are in
the hands of the Germans, and,
if according to their belief, are
violated at any time by the
French, the peace agreement may
be terminated.

DIR. J. M. Graphical
Lauds County For
Erecting Hospital
Native Son Has Made Out
standing Success In Mon
tana. On Visit Here.

DR.. J. M. GRAPHICAL, of Montana,
and a native of Ashe county,
highly praised members of the
Jeffersons Rotary Club and the
citizens of the county in gener-
al upon the construction of the
Ashe Memorial Hospital while he
was in town last week.
DR.. GRAPHICAL spent several
days visiting relatives and friends
in this county and also visited his
brother, DR.. GRAPHICAL, at Marion,
Va.
"You have one of the most
beautiful hospital buildings !
have ever seen and if any Sec
ton of the country needs and de-
serves hospital, it is certain my
home county of Ashe," he said.
DR.. GRAPHICAL, who is the son
of the late Mr.. and Mrs. David
GRAPHICAL, was born and reared at
Clifton. His sister, Mrs. Guy
Eller, still resides there. A brot-
her, Reece GRAPHICAL, lives at
Grassy Creek.
Thirty-nine years ago DR..
GRAPHICAL left the county and
went west. After living in Oregon
several years he finally settled
in Missoula, Montana. He is an
eye, ear, nose and throat specia-
list, owns two drug stores, two
large farms, one of 1000 acres
of land and has served in the
state legislature out there two
terms.
Last Thursday night he spoke
at the Rotary Club meeting here
and gave a brief highlight of his
experiences in the west. That's a
beautiful country, but it doesn't
surpass Ashe for natural scenic
beauty" he said.
In order to save time, DR.. Gray
beal said he flew by plane from
Montana to Bristol. Covering a
distance Of over 1900 miles I
arrived in Virginia in less than
20 hours" he stated.
In spite of his outstanding sue
cess in the west, DR.. GRAPHICAL is
! thinking seriously of moving to
Marion and of going into the hos
pital business there with his
brother. Before leaving here he
gave $50 to the Ashe hospital,

CCC Enrolment
Changes Given
EnrOllees Need Not Be on Re-
Lief. Additional Training
Will Be Given.

Miss Ruth Tugman, Ashe coun-
ty welfare supervisor, along with
others in the state has been neti-
fled by T. L. Grier, state CCC Sc
lection supervisor, to select en-
rollees on their Individual merits,
without regard to the relief or
nonrelief status of thei FAMILIES.
Heretofore, only unemployed
youths, whose families had been
adjudged by local welfare au-
thorities as of relief status, had
been accepted. Each CCC camper
was required to send home $22 a
month from his, pay of $50 a
month.
Beginning July, l, with the Sc
lection of 2,405 enrollees to make
third-quarter requirements, any
unemployed youth between Is
and Is will be eligible. If his ia
mily does not need the $22, it
will be deposited to him at the
conclusion of his enlistment.
simultaneously, the CCC an
nounced that it's $500 enrollees in
North Carolina would be given
additional training in noncombat-
ant activities-particularly the
repair of trucks, power shovels,
pumps, graders, generators and
compressors. Instruction also will
be given in road and bridge con-
struction, stringing and repairing
telephone lines, short-wave ra-
dio, photography and cooking.
Miss Tugman pointed out that
Ashe already has a large number
of applications for this period,
but that in the event that other
counties fall short of their quotas
there is a possibility of placing
additional young men from this
county.

France Given Stiff Terms
In Cerman-Italian Treaty

Peace after surrender, came to
France this week with an order
to cease firing on Tuesday morn
ing, following the signing of a
treaty with Italy. But it was a
sad and uncertain peace.
Recognizing the hard terms
which France has yielded after
46 days of the German 'total
war" and two weeks of conflict
with Italy, Minister of Interior
Charles Pomparet proclaimed the
day of mourning.
To-day France must be silent"
he said. ''Her heart will bleed,
but she will forge a new hope"
Meanwhile in Germany, Hitler
has ordered the Germans to
thank God, fly flags for 10 days
in victory celebration while plans
are being completed for the
greatest onslaught against Bri-
tain that mankind has ever wit
messed.
The stiff terms of the Armis-
tice provided that France must
surrender all of the fleet, except
what is necessary to police
French colonies; but the Germans
