however, will have to be ap-
proved by the principal and

In setting August % as the
opening date, Supt. Hash ex-
planned that this would enable the

July-August Term OF Court
Will Convene Next Monday
Eighty-Nine Cases On Calen-

lick Will Preside.

The ,July-August term of Ashe
superior court for the trial of
civil cases will open next Monday
with Judge Wilson Warlick, of
Newton, presiding, and with a re-
cord number of cases listed on
the calendar for trial.
There are a total of SO cases
already scheduled. Forty-two of
them, however, are cases in which
the county of Ashe is suing for
the collection of approximately
$4,000 Of back taxes still owing
for the years 1880 to 1886.
It is understood that the defen-
dants, or at least most of them,
plead the statute of limitations
as the ultimate reason for non
payment of the taxes.
Attorneys for the county stated
yesterday that a number of these
defendants have already made
arrangements to make settle
ments.
During the May-June term of
court, Judge Rousseau ruled that
the statute Of limitations is no
bar to the payment of delinquent
taxes. This decision was rem
dered in three test cases-county
VS. Wash Miller, J. L. Landreth
and w. A. Williams.
All of these ~ cases are slated
to be heard next Wednesday, July
%.
A number of divorce cases are
also scheduled to be heard and
several of them will be taken up
Monday.
The complete calendar is pub
lished elsewhere in this issue.
Fifty-six jurors were drawn for
this term.

CONTINUOUS RAIN

full dose of rain for several
days. Joe Worth, u. S. weather
bureau official reports that Of
ficially it has rained for Is
days and that within that time
the rainfall has been more
than 8 inches.
The constant falling of rain
has made everyone feel like
singing the old nursery rhyme,
Grain, Rain Go Away. Many
point out that if it keeps up
there will be another flood.
The rivers and smaller
streams are swollen and much
damage has been done to
wheat, oats and other grain
crops.
Many people, after studying
their almanacS and signs, re-
port that "dOg days" or rain
for forty days and nights, are
now in full swing. Whatever
the days are, sunshine would

British And Russians Make
Gains; Vichy Forces Lose

The Germans and Russians con-
tinue fierce fighting with both
forces claiming success. The Ger
mans are making advances at
several points, several new S
sources report. M
The Russians claimed yester-
day, however, to have virtually
annihilated advanced German
motorized forces striking at Len
ingrad from the Pskov-Porkhov
sector some ITS miles to the south
and to have held fast at the Red
center about Vitebsk in violent
fighting that cost many dead on
both sides. Along the Ukrainian
front, Moscow's early morning
communique pictured the Nazi
drive on Kiev as halted and as
serted, moreover, that German
mechanical troops had got SO far
out ahead of the main forces as to
be left Gin a difficult situation. "
This estimate of the situation
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1941-07-17

was almost Numerically oppo-
site to that of the Germans, who
claimed unofficially that their
northern forces had reached near
ly to Novgorod, which is only 100
miles southeast of Leningrad, and
that the last, easternmost bunk
ers of the Stain line in the
Vitebsk area before Moscow had
been occupied by Nazi troops.
In London, Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill characterized the
British-Russian pact as nothing
less than an alliance-a negative
alliance against Hitler, however,
and in no sense an alliance with
communism itself.
AS to the battle of the Atlantic,
which Churchill's government
still holds is the biggest battle of
all, the British got excellent news
