British Capture
5 Italian Ships

LONDON, March 5.-Britain
today seized five Italian ships, at
least two of them laden with
German coal, in emphatic answer
to sharp Italian protest and
stepped up other phases of her
economic warfare again Germany
by announcing 30O,OO0,00O
pound (about 81, 2OO,OOO,OOO) war
loan and launching a determined
campaign to increase her own ex-
ports.
Despite Italy's pointed warning
of severe strain on political and
economic relations between the
two powers by the newly en-
forced coal blockade, the Italian
ships were escorted into the con-
traband control base off Deal,
southeastern England, while a
search was under way for other
coal-bearing ships which slipped
out of Rotterdam.

1T GIVES UP A TOOTHACHE

A dozen Philadelphia dentists have
been suspended from practice because of
the profession for periods of from five to
80 days.
Did they do bad dental work? Did they
injure any patients? Did they commit any
unprofessional acts? Not at ALL
Their "crime" is simply that the signs in
front of their offices are of illegal size"
Too big.
Of course, it's really another. step in the
war against advertising dentists" Since
they can't be caught because they adver-
tise, law was passed restricting the size
of signs.
We don't think people like that kind of
persecution What's more, it makes the
law appear. rather silly. If the claw" must
get a dentist, let it get" him for the
size of his bills, not for the size of his neon
lights-( Philadelphia Record.)

A HIGH SCHOOL BAND?

Shakespeare once said, 1.-The man that
hath not music in himself and is not moved
with concord of sweet sounds, is tit
for treasons, stratagems and spoils".
In referring to this great art, Congreve
declared, "Music has charms to soothe the
savage beast, to soften rocks and bend the
knotted oak
Music has distinct and definite place in
the life of every individual. Like food shell
ter and clothing, it is really one of the es-
sentials. It would be almost impossible
to live without Every day there is nlu-
sic in the air-the song of the birds, the
hum of the bees, the sigh of the wind.
Unfortunately music, as we'll as some
of the other arts, are. not taught and
stressed in our public schools to the extent
to which we think they should be. Good
music has a voice and soul of it's own and
no one can come in contact with it and not
be lifted up, inspired and made better,
happier person.
In this connection, we should like to see
a high school band organized here and in
other schools in the county. If a talented,
trained young band leader were employed
to teach in the high school, and were CIV
en- proper encouragement and cooperation
he would no doubt soon solve the problem.
A local band would offer splendid must
cal training for young boys and girls; it
would fill special need that often times
exists and would serve as good press ag-
ent for the town and county.
The Lenoir high school band, which is
known all over the United States, has adj
vertised Lenoir more than any other sim
gle institution What has been done there,
could be done here.
Let's organize a high school band next

PIT As BADLY NEEDED

There is a great need for the organiza-
ton of Parent-Teachers' Associations in all
of the central high schools of Ashe county.
The Jefferson PIT A has already demon
strated and proven that such an organiza-
ton is worthwhile in establishing closer
contact between parents, teachers and the
school and in promoting physical improve
ment of the school and Identification OF
grounds.
Through these organizations, which
meet monthly, every patron can have an
opportunity to express his or, her views
and to work with others in sponsoring
needed activities.
During recent years much progress has
been made, through the aid of WPA, in
erecting new buildings, gymnasiums and
identifying the school grounds of our CEN
trail schools.
In practically every instance, the prin-
cipal has taken the leading part in this
building program and through his leader
ship and the leadership of few other
keenly interested citizens the people of
the communities responded generously in
helping to provide the sponsors share of
funds and materials Only small amount
of aid has come from outside of the COM
munitieS themselves.
Much has already been done, but much
more remains. Sanitarian Webster this
week pointed out that there is not sim
gle central high school in the county that
has a modern sewerage disposal system.
mot all of them have privies that are up
to Standard he said.
"None of them have heating plants and
except for perhaps West jefferson, none
have really adequate water supplies" he
continued to explain.
This brings the matter down to ques-
ton of the children's health. Good health,
like a good mind, is their most precious
possession. Here's challenge to the pa
rents and teachers. Organize. Set up def
mite program, be it toilets, water, heating
or whatnot, and you'll get somewhere.
The district principals will welcome
such an organization and through it, an
opportunity to come in direct contact with
you. s.<...

EVER SEE A PICTURE

EVER SEE A PICTURE

If Uncle Sam had machine

it would take it Is years to count
out our national debt.
With prices rising and taxes

housed, can we, taxpayers, ever
get this emergency sum of money
to Uncle Sam or will they take
what we have for it and then
work us as slaves the rest of our

If Uncle Sam should fail to pay

were to attack, who would loan

''The trinity for REFORM actually was

ing of the firmly seemingly
invincible Huey P Long dynasty will stand
as one of the outstanding journalistic
achievements in decades.
"Using only publicity and other instru-
ments of democracy the loose-knit opposi-
ton forces finally broke the back Of the
twelve-year-old Long machine and now
are planning to finish the job"
The Louisiana newspapers didn't stop
with an editorial crusade. Their persistent
and thorough investigations turned up
many tips leading to subsequent grand
Jury indictments, federal trials and con-
victions.
The papers were fighting for honest, de-
cent government and although the Long
machine had become allpowerful before
they realized it's crookedness in the legis-
lature, the courts and schools, nevertheless
light so that the people may find the way"
Thomas Jefferson knew what he was
talking about when he said, IF the choice
were left to me whether to have free
press or free government, would choose
a free press.
AS long as America has freedom of the
press, it will have Democratic system of
government. The first thing dictator does
is to get control of the newspapers.
