Grouse Appointed
Dairy Specialist
In This Section
Native of Allegheny County
Resigns Position as Yam
cey Farm Agent.

r. H. Grouse, Yancey county
farm agent and a native of Allie
ghany county, has been named
dairy specialist in Ashe, Allegha-
ny and Watauga counties, it
was learned this week.
Grouse has rendered his resig-
nation as farm agent, a position
which he has held for the past
two years, and will start work in
the three counties here the first
of the year.
Dairy extension work in this
section was started last July by
J. P. Leagans, who spent two
months making a complete study
of plans and possibilities for ex-
pansion of the industry in the
three counties.
The new specialist is the son
of T. L. Grouse, of Sparta. He is
a graduate Of Sparta high school
and of State college. In 1886 he
went to Yancey as assistant farm
agent and became acting agent in
August, 1889.
His work in that county has
been outstanding and he is ex-
pected to do a good job here in
his larger field of activity.

Of this 25-year-old wooden struc-

The other building which took

West Jefferson is on the move
and as a result of this two struc-
lures, one residence and a store
building appeared completed in
the GRAPHICAL development on the
Boone highway, within a few
hours.
This all sounds like a fairy
story, but it is a fact, and a fact
that people stopped and rubbed
their eyes unbelievingly Tuesday
and Wednesday when they saw
buildings appearing in the mid
die of the street.
The explanation Of all this was
that two buildings were moved
from one section of town to an
other, by motor.

buildings, formerly occupied by

The British imperial army of
Northern Libya, reinforced, con-
tinued to encircle the axis forces
under Erwin Rommel, in spite of
the furious attacks of the NaZis'
tank forces.
On the Russian front winter is
marshalling it's forces to aid the
Moscow defenders.
Although the British lost Re-
zegh itself and the nearby settle
ment of Biz Ell Hamed in the pro-
cess, the break through was effec-
ted only on a narrow sector, the
German 18th joining hands with
the 21st about Zaaran, six miles
northeast of Rezegh.
A British spokesman, terming it
only a local victory, declared that
the confidence of the imperial for
ces had been in no way impaired.

.'lessick Outlines Important
Development Plan For W. J.
REA Coop Supt. Spoke at Ro-
tary Meeting Last Week.
Three Proposals.

Several significant and far
reaching plans for local develop
ment were pointed out in an ad-
dress by Supt. C. F. Messick, of
the Blue Ridge Electric Member
ship corporation, before the Ro-
tary club here last Thursday
night.
With an abundant supply of
electric power being made avail
able in the near future, West JEFF
ferson now has a better opport-
unity of getting manufacturing
plants to locate here, Messick
stated.
A second proposal was the pos
sibility Of putting whiteway
through the business district
here, and in this connection he
promised full cooperation of the
REA coop. The value of such
lighting in attracting the thou
sands of visitors on the Parkway
to come here was emphasized.
A third goal mentioned was
the purchasing of a tract of land
in or near town and erecting on it
the cold storage plant, an electri-
cal building and farm and home
agents demonstration building.
"This could serve as the farm
center of the county and model
demonstrations could be conduct
ed on il" Messick declared.
However, I am not proposing
that you follow any of these sug-
gestions," he said. ''1n event you
decide you want to undertake
them, I asure you that the REA
coop will be delighted to co-ope-
rate and to do its part"
Tom Duncan was in charge of
