"Why, nothing" she answered,
"just stay here with Nom"
'Then why don't you carry on
for your father? On "a small
scale"

drey mused.~ She turned to Mar
tina. what do you think of that,
Mom?"
Mrs. Swan was crocheting and
she worked without looking up.
1T sounds like a good plan," she
said, when she came to the end
of a row. you'll never be salts
fled if you don't have horses to
fool with. I know that. And ]
think your father wOuld have
liked it."
''Then we'll call that settled D
anything about values. but I pre-
sumo you can get pretty nearly
what they're worth. At the pre-
sent time, you will lose on the
land. What had you planned to
do, Audrey, to keep yourself
Victor decided. ''When you gel
ready for action, I'll be glad tc
help"
We'll wait until after the first
of the year," Martha offered un'
expectedly. Friday will be
Christmas. It will be just an
other day for us, MIR. Quinn, but
! I'd be pleased if you would have
dinner with Audrey and me. Il
you're going to be in town.
"Thank you, Mrs. Swan. I shall
be glad to- come" He was more
than repaid for the simple an
swer by Audrey's eyes.

Hi School News

A spelling contest in the ninth
grade English class got under
way this week. The class is di-
vided into two groups. The los
ing group must entertain the
winners.
Nathan's Creek basketball team
plays its first conference game
Wednesday night with Healing
Springs.
A number of students from this
school took part in the Harvest
Festival at Boone last week. Two
prizes, plaques of famous compos-
ers, were won by Daid Burkett,
who sang baritone solo, and a
girls quintet, composed of Mary
June Miller, Mary Lee Wither-
spoon, Wilma Dare Absher, Grace
Little and Hazel Dean Garvey.
Miss Irene Brown, an eleventh
grade student visited friends in
Spartanburg, S. c., last week.
Miss Haskell Blevins, an elev-

"Skip that, please, Olive. It's
silly"
ooh, yes? It should be, but it
isn't. Do you suppose haven't

. hard for you to tear yourself
away from that odious town and
why you are always running back
there on the slightest provoca-
ton? I've done everything I can
to make you consider your self
respect, but this is intolerable."
Tears suddenly filled her dark
eyes. "Don't go, jeff! I'm asking
you not to-"
I'm sorry, Olive, but I'll have

without looking back. And closed
the door after him.
The brief services were about
to begin when Jeffrey entered the
little chapel the next morning
and dropped unobtrusively on a
bench at the rear. Almost at once
he discovered Audrey and her
mother. A man and a woman sat
with them, relatives probably, but
strangers. Vic Quinn was there.
The little room was well filled,
but Jeffrey saw no sign of his ia
Their or mother and it made him
resentful. It wouldn't have hurt
them to come. After all, the
Swans were their nearest neigh
bors.

We are living in an ever-chang-
ing world. Every one realizes
this. We find some of these
changes more or less gradual
while others are of a worldwide
nature, radical to the extreme
and have a trend to upset all for
mer modes and standards of liv-
ing.
The European situation changes
daily, the effects of which radiate
as far as our own country. The
American people in all walks OF
life are being forced to adjust
themselves to the tempo OF the
times. Despite the fact that these
changes are taking place, great
many of keep on hoping that the
old order will return and thus we
delay adjusting ourselves to our
new economic conditions.
World Conditions Acute
We find business and the peo-
pie as a whole jittery or up IN
the air. Certain forces want to
tear down and start anew, while
others are suspicious of these
changes so that to the average
person it is indeed hard to make
up our minds as to the part thai
we as individuals play in the eco
nomic development Of our coun-
try. .
One fact that we are sure OF
"business will still continue" no.
only big business but the small
! business in our rural commun1-
ties as well as the business OF
farming, the combined total Of
which is the largest industry IN
the world. AS worldwide con-
ditions throw us more and more
in competition with the people OF
foreign countries, where the stan
dards of living are much below
our own, it is necessary that we
become better trained in our own
private business that we can pro-
duce quality merchandise at an
economic price.
Ashe Ideal For Dairyng
Here in Ashe county, which is
entirely agricultural, we have
many unlimited possibilities -
possibilities that other states
would pay large sums Of money
if they could but obtain them
One of these is the proper de-
velopment of dairying.
Ashe county has many ideal
factors that contribute much to
a successful dairy program; VIZ,
splendid summer grazing, ability
to grow an abundant supply OF
winter roughages-1egume hays,
silage, corn, etc, weather condi-
tons ideal, cool nights, running
water on every farm. Quality OF
milk produced can be of the best
inasmuch as our country is free
of off-flavored weeds such as bit
ted weed and wild onions. A mar
ket is already established with an
outlet that can handle all the milk
that might be produced in this
area.
This industry now touches, IN
a small way, about one out OF
every five or six farms in the
county. We have plenty of facts
and records to substantlate the
statement that a man on a small
farm, with six good COWS, can
have a cash income of around
$4OO per year, which we believe,
combined with other diversified
farm practices, will make that
farmer self-sustaining and also
improve his standards of living.
If the above facts are true as
stated and in our honest opinion
they are, we ask the questions

sional acquaintance, he stood IT.
resolutely on the sidewalk until
a hand was laid on his arm and
a quiet voice said: "Glad you
made it, old man."
AS they moved off, Jeff re-
marked: 81 rather expected I'd

it's just as we'll"
"Your father is up in the city,
Jeff. He said he would be back
this morning, but he hadn't
shown up when I left the office"
Hmm m. If I were sure

out and say hello to Mother. But
I guess I'll be showing back. ]
don't feel up to another scene"
AS he opened his car door, Vic
said quietly: Jeff, if you can ar
range it, try to see Audrey before
you leave. 1 am sure she'd appre-
ciate it very much"
"Think so?" There was almost
an eagerness in the question.
| Il know it. I called you the 9TH
er night at Audrey's request" II
! cost Victor something to say that
much as he tried to Danish the
realization.
ooh! Then I will drop in on my
way back. Thanks"
It was several hours later that
Jeffrey drove up to the Swar
home. Until he glanced back al
the stables standing without sigr
of life, he had not realized how
different the place would be after
this. 1t was a relief to see that
there was no cars parked on the
drive. It was still more of a re-
lief to have Audrey open the door
to him. Her face was still color
! less, but she managed a smile OF
welcome.
"Cygie!"
"It was good of you to come
Jeff"
After Anthony Swans DEATH
the management Of his family's
affairs seemed to pass involun-
tarily into the hands of Attorney
Quinn. There was no one else to
| whom Martha and Audrey could
turn and Victor was always
available.
Anthony had left a modest
amount of money and securities
and the farm was unencumbered
It was Martha's idea to convert
all the stock and equipment into
cash and perhaps sell all the land
except that occupied by the house
and stables. She wanted to re-
main in the home during her life
time.
But Victor had another sugges-
ton. 81 imagine it would be a
good idea to get rid of your
horses" he agreed. II don't know

Children, as never before, re-
quire every ounce of protection,
health and resistance that can be
mustered in their behalf. If we
can only minimize the number of
lame, halt and afflicted men,
women and children, we are
helping rehabilitate.
Our youth needs to march for
ward with firm and healthy
bodies. In an era when these hui
man bodies are held so cheaply
and thrown so recklessly into the
great destructive NAV of war, il
is paradox and privilege to be
affiliated with another kind of
fight; a valiant one that has to
do with reconstruction, rather
than destruction.
When the calamity of illness
strikes at human body, the hui
man mind is impelled to more
fully appreciate the unparalleled
blessing of health.
Suppose it were possible to
take a minute or two out of each
day. so that men, women and
children at their work, play; be-
side their office or schoolroom
desks, or in the midst of house
hold chores, might pause to con-
template, with humility and graf
titude, the blessing of being able
to move about vigorously on legs
that are free from the blight of
Infantile Paralysis. It is possible
that such daily reminder of the
immense gift of bodily health
would keep alive within the
heart. the torch of thanksgiving.

woods that are turning gold. play
tennis, golf or dance at will.
Imagine yourself hampered; imag-
inc your child deprived of the
blessed ability to jump, run and
climb.
The world at present is ridden
by futile conflicts. War is greed,
aggression and hatred. This is
the evil fight. The fight against
disease; the fight against human
blight, is the COED fight. The
constructive fight.
We today, surrounded by war
ring nations, dare not permit the
vast shadows of evil which are
darkening our era, to black out
the need to carry on the good
fights of mankind
for the betterment of the world
we live in.
We in this blessed land of ours,
are free of warlike impulses
against human foes. But we are
out to fight disease and those
evils of the flesh which hamper
human happiness, to the death!
We need, as never before, to
cling to the realities of the good.
To enlist in the cause of the
War against Infantile Paralysis, is
to carry forward the high torch of
mans humanity to man.
