Acute Situation

Experiencing two floods within less
than three weeks time, the road and bridge
situation in Ashe county is now extreme
ly acute and extensive emergency relief
should be launched Immediately by the
State Highway Department and the Works
Progress Administration.
With bridges across creeks and the riv-
er washed away in practically every COM
munity in the county and with large
number of roads closed because of wash
outs, activity is more or less at stand
still. Children cannot get to schools, peo-
pie cannot 60 to their churches, farmers
cannot get their crops and livestock to the
markets, trade and commerce are thwarted.
The condition is critical and demands
prompt attention. The regular highway and
WPA forces. in the county are doing the
best they can and are doing good job, but
they can hardly scratch the surface of what
needs to be done and DONE NOW!
Many sections, Obids, Idlewild, Grassy
Creek, Silas Creek, Laurel Springs, Toliver
and others are practically isolated. People
have to wait days for their mail. They can
not even get to town to buy the necessities
of life.
What we need and what we MUST
HAVE, Mr.. Hackett Mr.. Council, and Gov.
Hoey, are more road and bridge crews.
Money has been allotted. Hire the men,
put them to work and open up Ashe coun-
ty!
There are two hundred families in the
county who are in dire need. Many of them
lost everything they had. Many of them
would be delighted to work for the State
Highway Department or the WPA on roads
and bridges in the county. That would &C
complish two things at the same time.
Our needs are urgent! We are not fus-
sing but we want help NOW and are ask
ing that you give it to us!

English channel almost impossible to fly
safely over when winter sets in
And Hitler has but to turn back the
pages of history to discover another color
which will soon appear on his painting of
the "blitzkrieg of England" This color-the
black famine which caused the downfall
of Napoleon in Russia-will soon be star
ing the German people and the people they
have conquered, in the face.
So Hitler, the masterful artist, now
paints even harder. Painting with words
in desperate attempt to break down Eng
lish morale and to scare the Royal Air
Force from over Berlin, he hopes to paint
away with bloody fear any white hopes
the English have for victory.
The great battle of England is now in
full blast and apparently the British are
really holding their own. With a little
help, they might be able not only to defend
themselves, but also to lick Germany

Session Was Well Attended
Outstanding Sermons DeIiv-
cred. j. c. Goodman Re-
elected Moderator.

The 54th. annual session of the
Ashe Missionary Baptist Associa-
ton, held here last week end, was
the best attended and one of the
most inspirational sessions ever
held.
Of the As churches in the Asso-
citation, ~. of them were repre-
sented. In spite of the flood Fri
day morning, the attendance Sat
urday and Sunday was excep-
tionally good.
Friday Rev. w. T. Wilmington
preached the opening sermon.
Splendid messages were delivered
Friday afternoon by I. G. Greer,
superintendent of the Orphanage
and Smith Hagaman, superinten-
dent of the Baptist hospital.
Rev. Joe Hodson, of Bristol,
Tenn, formerly of Ashe, deliv-
cred a fine sermon, taking the
place of Rev. w. c. Denney, who
could not attend.
Saturday morning a number Of
reports were given. It was voted
to divide the Association into dis
tricts and a superintendent for
each district will be appointed by
the executive committee.
Rev. J. c. Canipe, of Boone,
preached Saturday morning and
in the afternoon David Morgan,
of Raleigh, spoke.
Rev. S. S. GRAPHICAL and Rev. ].
R. Shumake also preached good
sermons. Rev. J. o. Spencer was
unable to attend.
One of the highlights of the AS
ISOLATION was a pageant, "The
Voice of YOUTH" written and di-
rected by Miss Gertrude Gray
beal, which was presented Satur-
day morning.
J. c. Goodman was reelected
moderator and Fitzhugh Barker,
clerk. Only one change was made
in the executive committee. Rev.

Sheriff Destroys
2 Illicit Stills

Two illicit stills, located about
one-fourth of mile apart in the
Pine Hill section near Warrens-
vile, were found and destroyed
by Sheriff J. E. Roland during
the past week.
One of the stills, Sheriff said,
had apparently been in operation
for the past two or three months,
while the other one was new. ''I'm
inclined to believe that both of
them belonged to the same party
or parties" he stated.
There was no one near or at
the stills at the time of the dis
covery and consequently no ar
rests were made. A small amount
of mash was found and destroyed.

$4,000 WORTH OF
FOOD is DAMAGED

Over $4,000 worth of food
stuffs and meats that were dam
aged by the recent flood in the
western part of the state have
been ordered destroyed or sal
vaged to safeguard the public
against sale Of polluted or con-
taminated food, w. E. McNeill,
CT Jefferson, food inspector for
the state department of agricul-
ture, announced.
Most of the damaged foods
were found in Elkin and North
Wilkesboro, Mr.. Mcneil said, and
declared that merchants and
wholesalers co-operated splendid
1y.
Inspectors from the u. S. Food
and Drug administration also
worked with Mr.. McNeill.
Household commodities, such as
teas, syrup, shortening, vinegar
and baking powder constituted
the bulk of products destroyed.
