PRESSURE CAMPAIGN

In London the likelieSt theory OF
the Nazi troop concentrations was
that they MAJ be a German pressure
campaign to extract concessions
from Russia, possibly dealing with
wheat deliveries from the Ukraine
oil deliveries from the Caucasus, or
rights for movement of German
troops across south Russia to north
arn Iran where they would be able
to flank the British positions IL
the Middle East and threaten Al
ganistan and India.
Ivan Maisky. the Soviet ambas-
sador to London, was reported as
having told Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden that, as a matter OF
fact, no negotiations between the
Russians and Germans are in prog
ress.
1t was considered at least signi-
ficant that the British reports OF
Nazi- Soviet tension were set in cir
culation simultaneously with the
arrival from Moscow of the British
ambassador, Sir Stafford CrippS.
Cripps is expected TO report on the
current status of Nazi-SoViet rela-
tionS.
1t was said Germany could argue
she now is dominant upon the Euro
pean continent and could suggest
that hostilities with Britain be called
off while she engages in a crusade
against Russia. The argument OF
an anti-Communist crusade was
a major ASPECT of Nazi propaganda
before Inc outbreak Of war.

Rain Again Mars Games For
Teams In New River League
Only Three Games Played.
2 Games Go AS Wins
BY Forfeit.
GAPS RAINED WE'D.

Rain again muscled in on the
chances of the teams in the New
River League last week with only
three games being completed in
the entire league for the playing
dates Of Wednesday, July 9 and
Saturday, July IL.
On the 9th the Ivanhoe-Inde-
pendence game was forfeited with
the game counting as a winner
for Ivanhoe since the Indepen-
Sdence team did not show up. West
Jefferson also forfeited a game to
HG1es because of mUmentary dis
banding of the team and an in
jury suffered by their playing
manager. In the only other game
scheduled, the Sparta G a X
game, Galax edged a notch near
er the 800 percentage mark when
they downed the Sparta boys 81.
Austinville had an open date.
On Saturday, the 10th, Fries
romped on Ivanhoe, TO. Sparta
took another loss in their game
with Austinville when Austin
vile trimmed them rs. The Ga
lax Independence gam e was
called in the third because of rain.
This does not count a''win for
either team. West Jefferson, the
remaining team, had an open
date. 8. J42~a:

Town Tax Rate
Is Set AT SIPS;
Same AS Last Yr.
Budget Estimate Adopted by
Aldermen at Meeting Last
Friday Evening.
.$1O,62O.84 is ESTIMATE

There is to be no increase in
the tax rate for the town Of West
jefferson for this fiscal year as
it was tentatively set at $1.25 per
hundred at a meeting OF the
Board of Aldermen last Friday
night when a budget estimate
was submitted by the clerk and
approved. This rate is the same
as in 1889 and 1910.
The budget. totalling $1O,620.84,
lists in addition to the tax levy,
back taxes, privilege license, sew
er tap fees, water rents, intangi-
BILE tax from the state, and the
sale of certificates as other sour
ces of income.
The town property valuation
listed for taxes showed an in
crease from $38O,754O0 last year
to more than $4OO,OOO.OO this year
which at the rate of $1.25 per
hundred will bring in more than
$4,000. Due to the fact that a
number of taxpayers have al
ready paved their 1941 taxes, the
income from future tax levy for
1941 is listed in the budget at
$4,414.99. Next to the tax levy
the biggest source of income list
ed is from water rents, $1,000.
The total expenses as listed in
the budget for the coming year
are $10,620.84. A detailed state
ment of the budget including the
revenue and expenses is pub
lished on page two in The Post
today.

To Hold Second
Draft Lottery
Tonight At Z
Fate of 100 Ashe County FL
Year-Old Men and 100000
In Nation at Stake.
MIX IN OLD LIST

Starting this evening at 7 o.
clock and lasting for about two
hours, the nations second peace
time lottery will be conducted in
Washington.
The fate of 100000 21-year-old
Americans, nearly 100 of whom
are in this county, will be deter
mined by this drawing.
For the drawing, 8O0-melon-co-
lored, fire-proof, leak-proof cap
sules that look like lipstick hold
ers, have been placed in gold
fish bowl.
Secretary of war, Henry L.
Stimson, will draw the first num-
Der, and there will be no formal
ceremonies.
Serial numbers, starting with
number one, have been assigned
to the Ashe county second regis
trants.
According to a recent announce
ment, the new registrants will be
mixed up with the older ones, ra-
Their than placed in front or at the
end of the old registrants.
The plan provided for proper
tional indignation in the assign
ment of draft numbers is as fol
lows:
Each local draft board is to de-
duct from the total number reg
istered the first time, the num-
Der for which credit has been al
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1941-07-17

lowed and divide this number by
the number registered the second
time. The number obtained as a
result is then to be used as the
division line between the placing
of new registrants in the old list.
In other words, the Ashe coun-
ty division number will probably
be 20. After order numbers are
assigned to the new registrants,
following the lottery tonight, the
new ones will be placed twenty
names apart on the master list.
Their final order numbers will
be the same as the number of the
first registrant, wherever the
names hit, except that they will
be proceeded by the letter ESP.

Soil District
Adopts Plan For
Ashe, Allegheny
Meeting of Board Held on Fri
day. E. c. Jernigan
Is Heard.
PRIORITIES ESTABLISHED

The board of supervisors of the
New River Soil Conservation Dis
trict met here on Friday night
when E. G. Jernigan, area conser-
vationist in charge of all soil con-
servation service in western N.
c. spoke to the group. At this time
number of plans were adopt
ed relative to the work in Ashe
and Allegheny which will go for
ward at once.
Station McIver, District Censor
vationist, explained to the board
the form of farm plan being used
in other districts and discussed
the first farm plan prepared IN
Allegheny county. The board un-
animously adopted this type OF
plan for use in the New River
District.
The board discussed thoroughly
the proposed w. P. A. project and
expressed unanimous opinion
that although small amounts OF
labor may be available for use on
farms having farmer-district CO.
operative agreements, this labor
was secondary to the primary
purpose of the District program
of planning and carrying out soil
conserving measures by the farm
ers on their own land.
A formal resolution was adopt
ed setting forth that priorities of
work would be established in
each county of the District by a
subcommittee composed of the
County Agent and the board
members living in that county. 1t
was stated by Wade E. Eller,
chairman of the board of super
visors, that applications for work
are in the hands of all board
members, in each county agent Of
flee, and the farm security Of
flee in their respective counties
Mr.. Eller said applications had
been received so far from ap-
proximately twenty to thirty far
mers in each county and that
work was progressing satisfac-
torily. Sells maps have been pre-
pared on six farms in Ashe coun-
ty and eight to ten farms in Al
leghany county. He also advised
farmers interested in the pro-
gram to make application as soon
as possible so as to be considered
for the work.
It was stated that the time OF
the planning technicians would be
limited to a certain extent and
that those farmers making appli-
cation first would necessarily OBJ
tain first consideration.
Members of the board of sup
ervisors who attended the meet
ing are: Wade E. Eller, chairman
Alton w. Thompson, secretary; ]
c. Little, J. w. Gambill, D. M
Edwards. In addition to the mem
bers of the board, the following
men attended the meeting: c. J
Rich, Ashe county agent; Emer-
son Black, Allegheny county ag-
ent; H. D. Quessenberry, assist
liant county agent, Ashe county; P
H.. Sears, Farm Security repre-.
sentative; E. c. Jernigan, Area
Conservationist, Soil Conserva-
ton Service; Station McIver, Dis
trict Conservationist; and w. O

Coordinator who was expected tc

and his desire to visit the New
River District in the near future
