Do you think girls should be al
lowed to wear Stacks, turbans, and
kerchiefs in school?
Last Friday the faculty prohib-
tied the wearing of turbans and
kerchiefs in school, and advised
against wearing Stacks so frequent
ly. Since there has been much dis
cussion about this subject, we asked
several students to express their
opinions on the new ruling.
Georgiana Seims: / think girls
should be allowed to wear what
they wish in school. After all ones
appearance isn't marred by turbans
or Stacks. If the faculty was COM
planning about shorts in the middle
of the winter, that would be diff
ferent, but | think what the stu
dents in this high school wear is
nothing out of the ordinary for any
faculty to discuss.
Catherine Hampton. don't like to
wear Stacks to school but when ii
is really cold in the winter Stacks
are just the thing because they are
warmer and more comfortable.
don't think turbans and kerchiefs
are the proper things to wear in
school but / would rather see a girl
with turban or kerchief on her
head than coming to school with her
hair in curriers'.
Lillian Johansson: | think girls
should be allowed to wear Stacks,
kerchiefs, and turbans in school
II they wish. We 60 to school to be
educated, not to be dictated to. OF
course they can be worn too much.
but if that is the case these people
who do take advantage of it should
be spoken to personally. The fac
ulty should not restrict all the girls
from wearing them once in a while
Burton Baker: ! feel that If the
girls parents do not prohibit them
from wearing those articles. il is
definitely not the schools place tc
ban the wearing of all or any OF
them. Let the girls wear what they
see ut, as they have their own ways
of thinking.
Jack Daggett: think girls should
use their own judgment in the mat
ter OF their clothes. Stacks are ali
right to wear when there are pic
MICS or some other outdoor activity
and when, perhaps, they haven't
anything else to wear. Turbans are
supposed to be worn outside, but il
girl has been out late the night
before to some school activity, and
gets up late and hasn't time to
comb her hair, it should be permits
sible to wear them to school The
girls should be the judges in the
matter and should not be governed
by an accommodating strict
school rule.

Students Dance After Game

Thursday night, after the game
with Poison, the class presidents of
Libby High sponsored an informal
dance in the big gym for the stu
dents. Each person was charged
five cents to help pay for the mu-
sic, which was supplied by the nick
elodeon. Instead of floor-Wax, corn
meal was applied to the floor, and
it proved to be very good substi-
tute.
Since a large crowd attended the
dance, similar informal dances are
planned for the future.

less sold on the idea. They sense
enough danger to feel it is to their
interests to have an organization
ready ''just in case"
Not many Of them expect Ger
man bombers suddenly to come
over the horizon. But they know
that even without any attack
from outside, the arsenal of de-
mocracy" which flows to eastern
ports is a potential danger to fac
tories, storehouses, ships and rail-
roads.
Even in the towns far away
from the coast where defense pro-
duction is booming, the people
are coming to the realization that
it won't do any harm to be pre-

It is hoped that our thousands
Of local defense organizations will
never be needed to deal with any
foreign foe, but they can be in
valuable in helping to keep the
home fires burning.
F. H. LaGuardia, u. S. director
of civilian defense, recently esti-
mated that the chances are "a
percent against any attack on this
country But he added that if
there was even a 6 per cent
chance that there might be an at
tack eevry citizen of America
should be ready to meet it.
Because of that feeling, Mr.. La
Guardia, in spite of being the
busy mayor of the largest city in
the world, took on the additional
job of organizing civilian defense.
He has asked for the formation
of defense councils in every town
throughout the land and has pre-
pared a general plan for the for
nation of such local councils
along uniform lines.
His plan calls for the following
groups in each town: air raid war
dens, auxiliary police, bonn b
squads, auxiliary firemen, fire
watchers, medical corps, rescue
squads, nurses aides corps, staff
corps, messengers, drivers corps,
emergency food and housing
corps, decentralization corps, de-
molition and clearance crews,

1,441 Farmers Are Served. To-
tai Rural Mileage In N.
c. Is 27,173.

Rural identification in Ashe
county has been progressing since
1884, when the county ranked
18th in miles of rural lines, until
this year when the 331 miles of
lines caused Ashe to rank 32nd
in the state.
The number of rural electric
customers have also increased in
proportion to the lines, and there
were 1,441 customers on July l
of this year. The county jumped
from 44th in number of custo-
mers in 1884 to 38th in the state
this year.
The county is served by the
Blue Ridge Electric Membership
corporation, which is the largest
REA coop in America, and has
lines in Allegheny Ashe, Watau-
ga and Caldwell counties.
At the time the Rural Electrifi-
cation Program was initiated in
1885, only about three per cent of
the farm homes of the state were
served by central station power.
At the present time there are
more than 100000 rural electric
customers in the state. Slightly
more than one-third of the farm
homes are now electrified.
Not only has progress been
made by the various counties but
the state of North Carolina has
greatly improved in rank among
the states of the Union in per
cent of farms electrified. Being
near the bottom six years ago,
North Carolina now has approx
mately the average for farms in
the United States.
Several farms with electric SER
vice available have not taken ad-
vantage of the power.
Gwyn Price, Of Ashe county,
chairman of the state REA, said
he believed there is definite tie
up between the rural electrifica-
ton program and national de-
Tense, because electrified farms
could produce more food-parti-
cularly dairy and poultry pro-
ducts-than non-electrified farms.
Mr.. Price recently disclosed the
rural electric cooperatives in
North Carolina were being held
up from more growth because
loan applications totaling $5,417,-
900 have not been granted as a
result of uncertainty in obtaining
supplies.
With $50 miles of rural lines,
Davidson county ranks first in
the state. It is followed by Gull
ford, Union, Rowan, Mecklen-
burg, Pitt, Iredell, Wake, Robson
and so on. Allegheny ranks 9th
in mileage and 54th in customers.
Watauga ranks 50th in mileage.
The total REA mileage in the
state is 1O,427 and the grand to-
tai is 27,173, with the estimated
cost being over q million dollars.

time in Is years.
