Paragraphs

Ashe county has many blessings for
which to be thankful and the greatest bles-
sing of all is that we have many fine
churches and ministers of several different
denominations 49,. all doing wonderful
work, enriching the lives of our people
and making the county better place in
which to live At this time of the year when
most of the churches are holding their an
nual sessions, we are more impressed than
ever with the extensiveness of the great
work that is being carried on through the
churches and by the preachers. The Ashe
Missionary Baptist Association recently
held it's annual session; the Mountain IN
ion Baptist convened last week end and the
Senter Primitive Baptist churches meet
this week end. Included in these three asso-
Citations are IS churches, with member
shi ps totalling around 5000 or 1000. Our
gratitude and best wishes go out to these
churches and to all other similar institu-
tons in the county, Theirs is the greatest
work of all!

son loved people and because of her cheer
full and cultured outlook on life.
She no doubt realized that the world is
full of bad things and that there is lot of
bad in the best of people, but you could
hardly detect such realization by talking
to her Her philosophy was to pick out and
to point out the good things in life and in
people, rather than to look on the sorb:d,
ugly side. This week we heard some of her
intimate friends state that they had never
heard her say mean or bad thing about
anyone. Her life was devoted to her family
and to helping others. Gossiping and say
ing bad things about ones neighbors is
about the worst habit ST all ana It IS truly
inspiring to see person like Mrs. john
son who looks for the good and encourages
others to do better.
To members of her family, we extend our
deepest sympathy.

Back To School

Although the average American boy who
returns to school after the summer holiday
may not consider himself lucky, he is one
of the most fortunate youngsters in this
troubled world today.
The truth is that there are not many
countries left where young folks have an
opportunity to acquire unbiased informa-
ton, free from censorship and enslaving
propaganda. There are not many countries
left where they can grow in freedom and
prepare themselves for the kind of work
they want to do.
Yet such freedoms are but part of the
liberty that has been traditional with us
Americans-so TRADITIONAL indeed, that
we tend to wear it as casually as our fam
liar Clothes To appreciate its real value
we need only compare our way of life with
that in many other countries. The want,
the misery, the degradation Of human be-
ings that characterizes them is as alien to
us as the languages they speak.
AS we see our children return to school
we need to remember that and to be CRATE
full for it. Although we can not 60 back to
classes with them, we can-and should
reflect on the value of our freedom and
consider how we may best preserve it from
destruction.

long term payments up to five
years, to schools; interest. rates
will be only six per cent, and
there will be no carrying charge
on the equipment purchased by
these schools, he added.
AS soon as some more definite
plans are worked out nationally
meetings will be held with the To-
cal school groups in order to
work out necessary details, Mr..
Messick said.
A message from the President
of the United States was read at
the meeting, and in the message,
Mr.. Roosevelt asked for the mo-
Utilization of all organizations, in
Guiding farm, school, civic, and
all others connected in any way
with the general public, to give
assistance in putting across the
program schools are asked to
make use of all practical devices
such as low cost milk distribution
and the so-called "stamp plan" for
free lunches in order to assist
school children in getting proper
diets, the Presidents message
stated.
In addition to the need for pro-
perly milled flour, Messick went
on to say, all farmers will be
urged to increase production of
leafy vegetables such as cabbage,
lettuce, turnip greens, etc., as we'll
as yellow root vegetables such as
carrots. With the crisis with
which the nation is faced, it is i'm
perative that such foods are
grown to help feed men in train
ing camps as we'll as to feed the
civilian population, he said.
Pointing out the Importance of
raw vegetables in the diet, Mes
sick said that one of the big bus
transfer companies encourages its
drivers to carry raw carrots while
on trips, and to eat these carrots
as they ride along; carrots, he
said, contain vitamins necessary
to clear vision, and in many
cases, they have helped drivers to
avoid accidents by making it pos
sible for them to see better.
A plan has been worked out for
lettering the diets of the Ameri-
can public, he said, and all that is
needed to put it across is the help
of responsible organizations. REA,
he added, will do its part, and its
first step will be in helping
to obtain equipment ne
cessary to start the we'll balanced
'hot lunch" program in the
schools.

schools to date have power from

Come To The Fair!

Next week is Fair Week in West JEFF
ferson" and everybody here is extending a
cordial invitation to the farmers in this
and surrounding counties to enter and to
attend the big Ashe County Fair.
From all indications, there will be a re-
cord number Of fine exhibits of all kinds.
The catalogue is larger this year and this
season has been the most favorable one in
the past decade for crops and gardens.
AS an additional attraction, West Jeffer-
sons progressive and cooperative mer-
chants whose contributions make the fair
possible, are offering many special values
next week on new fall merchandise And
whether you desire to buy anything or not,
these merchants are inviting you to come
to the fair and to make their stores your
headquarters
The whole town is extending you a hear
ty welcome and is going to do everything
possible to make your visit an enjoyable
one.
A large number of new and thrilling mid
way attractions have been added this year
by the Bullock Amusement company and
an entertaining program has been arranged
by the fair committee.
The Ashe County Fair is unique in that
it is sponsored by several civic and farm
organizations as community enterprise.
It is strictly non-profit association. Off,
GERS and members of the executive COM
mittee contribute their time and energy
without remuneration.
The purpose of these organizations in
sponsoring the Fair is: to improve agricul-
ture and livestock in the county, to pro-
mote education, to promote better spirit
of goodwill and good fellowship through
out Ashe to provide wholesome entertain
ment, to stimulate more pride in our coun-
ty and to advertise this wonderful section
to the outside world.
Come to the Fair and have good time!

Six Million More

SIX million Americans will pay federal
income taxes next year for the first time
if the lowered exemptions of $3.50 for sim
gle persons and $1,000 for married persons
are retained in the tax bill now under con-
sideration in Congress.
At the present time federal government
expenditures average $52000,0OO day,
and, as the defense program gains momen-
tum, that figure will undoubtedly increase.
To help such huge expenses, everyone must
contribute his share Rates on higher in
comes are being sharply increased, but,
even so, no one group can possibly pay the
entire sum- There are not enough rich peo-
pie in America for that. AS matter of fact
the total incomes for year of all Ameri-
cans earning $4,000 year and over would
meet government expenditures for only
two months
While paying an income tax will be
new experience for the low income group,
actually they have paid direct federal taxes
and other items in the past, and have also
paid hidden taxes in connection with every
loaf of bread, pair of shoes and almost ev-
cry other article they buy. Such revenue,
however, no longer produces sufficient
funds for regular federal expenditures, plus
defense, and so income taxes must be used
to take care of the rising costs of govern
ment.
How much those costs have risen is evil
dent from the fact that at the turn of the
century man with wife and two child
rem, earning 500 month"; paid only SIS of
his salary in taxes, direct and indirect. AL
though he may earn $3.50 month now,
even before the huge armament program
was launched his taxes had risen to the
equivalent of $25 month and they are still
going up.
It is because of this rise that the demand
is growing for greater economy in non-de-
tense spending. Now that 100000 more
voters will have to pay an income tax,
perhaps that demand will become even
more insistent. In the past their taxes have
hidden to such an extent that many of
them failed to realize how directly they
were affected by federal expenditures. The
income tax should serve to emphasize the
fact that thy pay share of the cost of gov
eminent and that, the lower that cost is,
\ the lower their share will have to be.
