Highlights Of
ALI War News
In Past Week

The British forces again made
themselves felt in two continents
this week, when winter weather
slowed up the speed of the war
on land and in the air.
Stealing the Nazis' own thun-
der Tuesday, the British bcmbers
delivered seven-hour assault
upon the German industrial city
Of Mannheim in the heaviest of
a series of overnight raids from
western Germany to the subma-
rine base at Bordeau, Farnce. An
airplane factory, a dye plant and
other military detectives were
left ablaze.
Capture Italian Base
The British army of the Nile
claimed its first big victory on
Italian colonial spill this week and
crushed the last important Fascist
threat in Egypt's borders by cap
turing Fort Capuzzo and over
whelming the bitterly-fighting
Italian garrison at Salum, five
miles from the Libian border.
British advance guards were re-
ported sweeping on into Libya
yesterday.
Greeks Press Italians
Greek officials announced that
Tuesday was unusually successful
since a northern camouflaged for
titled position which the Italians
had held stubbornly for days had
been captured. The Italians were
reported retreating under fire and
the Greeks pressing on toward
Palermo.
Weather Checks Germans
Bad flying conditions checked
German retaliating raids on Lon
don this week. Sheffield was
heavily raided Sunday night but
the number of dead was said to
be small, as compared to the am
mount of destruction done. The
King of England who walked
through bombed sections in Bris-
toll this week was greeted by
crowds who, after digging out
from under debris, shouted, eve
are not downhearted."
lord Beaverbrook, of the Bri-
fish aircraft production warned
his countrymen this week that
Germany was preparing to in
wade England before Spring.

A Re-adjustment Of
Property Values In
County To Be Made
No General Re-valuatiOn Is
Planned. Euualizine Boards
Are To Be Appointed.

A re-adjustment but no gene
raj re-valuation of property will
be made in Ashe county next
year, the commissioners decided
at a special meeting Monday.
1t was pointed out that there
has been no re-valuation in the
county since 1888 and that as a
result, values of property listed
for taxation purposes are out-of-
date and, in many cases, out OF
line.
An examination of the 1888 re-
valuation books shows that val
uations vary considerably in diff
ferent townships, and one Of the
purposes of the adjustment pro-
gram is to bring all valuations, in
all townships, on an even, equal
basis, board members stated.
A county board of equalization
will be appointed and, according
to law, the county tax supervisor
and members of the commission
ers will serve on this board,
along with others who are to be
appointed, it was announced.
Township boards of equalization
will also be chosen and the tax
lister will be one of the members
of each township board.
These appointments will not be
made until the regular January
meeting of the commissioners.
More definite plans will be
worked out between now and the
first of January, it was stated.
Through a REIMBURSEMENT pro
gram it is believed that the total
valuation for the county will be
increased a good deal.

equipment, which will be
matched by funds that have been
tentatively pledged.
The pressing need now is to
raise around $500 for water and
sewerage, heating, plumbing and
lighting fixtures, it is stated.
Mr.. Stone agreed to accept the
Craftsmanship of the drive COM
mittee at a meeting last Thurs
day night and around $4,000

that time.

plan to make a thorough canvass
