Berlin would have Rumanians be-

in that country only to protect it
from external aggression. 1t seems
clear, however, that the pouplace of
Bucharest views Hitler's legions as
conquerors, not friends; their own
national leaders as Nazi puppets in

Even passive public resistance to

the flow of Rumanian oil and food

Urge Protection
OF Birds In Ashe
In Snowy Weather
Farmers Are Asked to Scatter
Feed and SpOrtsmen to
Cease Hunting.

Sportsmen in Ashe county
have received letters this week
sent out by the county agent, A.
V. Allen and J. NJ. Reeves, game
warden Of Grayson county, Va,
asking that the birds be protec-
ted and fed during snow and ex-
treme winter weather.
The letter explaining the need
for protecting the birds was
mailed out to 1000 farmers in
Grayson and Carroll counties.
The farmers of the counties sta
ted that sportsmen should help
furnish the feed put out to the
birds. AS a result of sentiment
arising for the birds, treasurers
for thes bird feed fund have been
appointed and sportsmen and
other interested parties have
been urged to give donations in
either feed or money for the
project.
An NYA Bird Feeding project
was Immediately put through in
both Grayson and Carroll coun-
ties, and it is pointed out that ac-
ton must be taken at once or
birds will starve.
Postmaster Basil D. Barr, who
received one of these letters said
that he hoped some immediate
action could be taken in this
county and that he would be
glad to assist in making drive
to save the lives of quail and
other birds affected by snow.
In commenting on it H. T..
Goodman, county game warden,
said that if all farmers would
scatter feed where the birds could
find it, and if hunters would
cease hunting during snowy
weather, the birds would have a
much better chance to survive.
The following letter which was
sent out to the farmers in Gray
son and Carroll counties gives
some timely suggestions regard
ing the protection and feeding of
| birds:
eve are blessed with a more
abundant crop of quail than in
recent years. And if we are to
continue to have these wonder
full birds in such bountiful abun-
! dance, it is an absolute necessity
that they be fed during the pre-
sent snow and on through the
winter while their natural food
is covered.
''The best places to feed quail
are around spring heads, under
shelf rocks, under. pine thickets
or in specially prepared lean-to
built of brush or any other avail
able material. The best place to
locate a feed station is close to
the quail's watering place. About
one quart of any small grain is
sufficient for a covey of ten
