To Discuss Plans At Court
House Friday Of Organizing
Local Grange Units In Ashe
Farmers Invited to Meet With
State Grange Master at
10 O'Clock Friday.

All farmers in Ashe county
who are interested in the or
ganization of local community
units and a county chapter of the
National Grange, one of the larg-
est and oldest organizations of
farm men and women in the
country, are invited to meet at
the courthouse tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock to hear Harry
B. Caldwell, of Statesville, mas
ter of the Grange in this state,
outline the various programs OF
the organization and explain
ways and means by which local
units can be formed and the adj
vantages to be derived therefrom
For some time sentiment has
been developing in various COM
munities for organizing Grange
chapter and County Agent c. ].
Rich has been keenly interested
in seeing this done. The State
Master comes to Ashe tomorrow
at his invitation.
Tomorrow afternoon at 2 o.
clock, a meeting will be held at
the Riverview high school for
the purpose of perfecting an or
ganization there if sufficient in
terest is shown.
The Grange is fine organiza-
ton and through it farming con-
ditions have been improved and
much beneficial legislation, both
state and national, has been
passed. It is also a good social or
ganization for farm communi-
ties. Rural -electrification is one
of the things that has been pro-
NOTED by the Grange,
If as many as three local units
can be organized, a county chap
ter can be set up.

Rural Telephone
Committees Will
Meet Fri. Night
Meeting To Be Held at Meth
OdiSt Church in Warrens-
vile. To Make Survey.
COOPERATION PLEDGED

Plans for making a tentative
survey of proposed rural tele-
phone lines in several communi-
ties of the county will be dis
cussed tomorrow night when the
Warrensville, Clifton, Lansing
and Helton committees meet at
the Methodist church in War
rensville, it was announced yes
terday.
County Agent c. J. Rich and
Gwyn Price, who are taking a
leading part in this movement,
stated that farmers in a large
number of communities in the
county have expressed keen in
terest in the establishment of ru-
raj telephone lines, but that so
far the Warrensville, Lansing,
Helton, Clifton, Creston and Fig
sections have shown the greatest
amount of interest.
If lines can be successfully es-
tablished in a few sections, it is
believed that within a compare
lively short time other lines can
be erected all over the county.
It is estimated that the sections
which will be represented tomor-
row night can be covered by
around Is miles of lines, serving
perhaps 100 customers.
The estimated cost of construc-
ton per mile is $4,000. OF course
if poles were furnished, this fig
ure would be reduced.
No definite plans have been
worked out as yet. It is thought
that probably an NYA OR WPA
project could be secured if a
farm cooperative were formed.
Mr.. Beddingfield, district man
ager of the Central Electric &
Telephone Company, has pledged
his cooperation with the move
ment. Among other things he has
agreed to furnish an engineer
and to buy all materials at cost.
Included on the committees
are: Wade Eller, v. c. Lillard,
Ed Eller, Lester Sturgill, w. A.
Johnson, Paul Jones and w. P.
Shoaf.

Wade Blackburn
Escapes Prison
Cuts Way Out of Truck. Was
Convicted Here in EnOch
Church'S Death.

Ashe county officers, as we'll
as others throughout North Caro-
lima, are on the lookout for Wade
Blackburn who, with Eddie Cobb,
another long term prisoner made
his escape from prison cage
truck near Enfield last week
while being taken from the CEN
trail prison in Raleigh to the Gale
donia prison farm in Halifax
county.
Il won't say they're the worst
men we have, but they are
among the worst" said Oscar
Pitts.
Cobb, Blackburn and three 9TH
er prisoners, were taken to Cen
trail prison from Caledonia yes
terday for examination of their
eyes and for dental work. While
being returned to Caledonia, they
sawed through the roof Of the
truck.
Only Cobb and Blackburn es-
capped. The others remained in
the vehicle, Pitts said. He added
that he had not ascertained Whe-
Their the saw was obtained at
Central prison.
Blackburn made headlines here
several months when he was
tried and convicted in connection
with the mysterious shooting OF
Enoch Church in the Fleetwood
community, and was given a 20
year prison sentence.
At that time he had escaped
from prison where he was un-

American Legion To Assist
In Helping Organize Defense
In Every Community In NC,
Plan Is Explained by Com
mander Rose Who Spoke
AT Joint Meeting.

In order to be prepared for
emergencies in event the national
guard is called to duty, the
American Legion is going to help
establish defense organizations in
every. community in the state,
Department Commander June
Rose declared in an address be-
fore joint meeting of Legion
naires and Rotarians held here
in the community building last
Thursday night.
Immediately after the annual
state convention in High Point
this month, a group of depart
ment officials are going to confer
with representatives from Wash
ington, relative to the formation
of local defense units" Com
mander Rose declared.
'Regardless of who wins the
European war, they will want
this country and it is high time
for us to be prepared to talk to
the dictators in a language that
they can understand, armed
might" he said.
The state Department has been
fighting for military training in
the CCC camps and I think we
are going to get it soon, Rose
stated.
In discussing youth and the
present educational program, the
speaker expressed the opinion
that there has been an acute lack
of physical education in the
schools and that too much en-
phasis has been placed upon lib
erty and too little upon response
bilities.
''If we enter a war, I hope our
youth will be tough enough and
will have the will to endure" he
said. "But we have not been dis
ciplining our children enough and
have been allowing them to much
freedom and too many prlvl-
leges."
The distinguished speaker was
introduced by Ira T. Johnston.

it in his prognosticating, as we

the death toll went to four, for
January. While Mr.. Hall had lived
in Bristol for several years, he was

The death of w M. (Mont) New

of not only ours, but of countless
folks, who have known Mont as
blacksmith, sheriff, mail carrier, fur

Honest, jovial kindly Mont will be
missed-most in the home. May
the sun shine through the dark
