Reasons Given
For Proposed
SaleOf Utilities
Robbins Says Property May
Be Transferred In
July To Coop.

George T. Robbins, vice-presi-
dent of the Northwest Carolina
Utilities who was here this week
said that if the proposed sales
agreement entered into by his
company with the Blue Ridge
Electric Membership corporation
is consummated according to the
terms of the agreement the actual
transfer of the pro 1erties in Ashe,
Allegheny and Watauga will pro-
baby take place in July.
The towns of Blowing r o c k,
West jefferson, Sparta and Roar
:'?s Gap are the largest commu-
mites located in the territory in
volved in the prospective. sale.
Robbins said the reason for the
contemplated sale of this part OF
his company's system was due to
the fact that the Ashe, Allegheny
and Watauga property was COM
posed Of these isolated systems,
which could be operated more
economically by being physically
interconnected. He added that it
was too expensive from an eco
nomical operating standpoint for
his company to interconnect the
three systems since they could
serve no additional customers
from interconnecting lines be-
tween these systems due to the
fact that the Blue Ridge Electric
Membership corporation is al
ready serving all the territory be-
tween the systems, which are 30
miles apart. On the other hand,
the cooperative can very easily
interconnect these systems with
its present system. Blue Ridge
Electric Membership corporation
is an REA cooperative serving
rural territory in Ashe, Alleg-
hany, Caldwell and Watauga
counties with headquarters at
Lenoir.
Robbins further said it was
very expensive to provide cleo
trio service for small isolated sy-
stems such as these, and since in
terconnection with the balance of
the company's main system was
impractical, it was desirable to

School Fight Is
Started In New
River District
Prof. Eller Serves Notice On
Local Committee That He
Has Principals Job.

A hot school fight seems to have
developed in two or three school
districts of Ashe county, and es-
pecially in the Riverview district.
Last Saturday night Prof. Wade
E. Eller informed the district
committee that he was the duly
elected principal of the Riverview
high school for next year under
the continuing contract clause and
warned the committee against Sc
lection of teachers without his
knowledge and approval.
According to reports, the COM
mittee was planning to meet that
night at the home of Chairman
Jake Little and elect teachers. At
previous meeting of the COM
mittee, Prof. John Donnelly had
been selected as principal. 4
In notifying the committee,
Prof. Eller is said to have presen-
ted a certified copy of letter
which he had filed at the county
superintendent of schools office,
stating that he was accepting the
position as principal for another
year.
The letter also gave an expla-
nation of the new state law rela-
tive to continuing contracts"
The new law, it was pointed out,
requires that teachers be notified
by registered letter before the
closing of school, Of their rejec-
ton or dismissal and further pro-
vides that if teachers fail to re-
ceive such notice they must file
a letter of acceptance with the
superintendent within ten days
after the closing of school.
He pointed out that he received
letter from the superintendent
office before the close of school,
but that this letter did not men
ton rejection or dismissal, but
merely stated that election Of
teachers had been deferred III days
after school.
Copies of the same letter were
mailed to all teachers in the coun-
.ty, but Prof, Eller contends that
they were not letters Of dismissal,
and that any teacher or principal
who filed letter of acceptance
within 10 safer the closing of
schools, was automatically chosen
to. serve another year.
A check-up s*Hthe superinten-
ent's office reveals that Mr.. Ell

American Legion
Suggests 5-Point
Defense Program
Urge Purchase of Bonds, Food
Conservation, and Home
Guard Unit.

A five-point defense program
for the people of Ashe county has
been outlined by the special COM
mittee of the Ashe post OF the
American Legion and all civic and
patriotic organizations in the
county are being asked to co-ope-
rate in the discussion and promo
ton of this program. Ira T. John
ston, defense committee chairman,
announced this week.
'Our committee has met and
suggests that among other things,
the following are important for
the thought and attention of our
people:
/. The purchase of defense saw
ings bonds and stamps by all who
are able to purchase. One can in
vest safely any amount from ten
cents to $5,00000 and by so doing
aid our government in its defense
program and aid himself in saw
ing something for a rainy day.
The defense bonds are redeem
able in cash at any time and bear
a very good rate of interest if
kept a reasonable time and are
as safe as the government itself.
2. The production and conser-
walton of food stuffs by our peo-
pie. The war may be won by pro-
duction and food is important
when millions are hungry and our
people should produce and con-
serve all food products possible
during the emergency.
3. The Governor has been re-
quested to assist us in obtaining
for Ashe county a unit of the
Home Guard. If we are not able
to get such a unit, we hope our
people will give careful considera-
ton to the matter of organizing
a voluntary training unit and vol
untary first aid units.

triotic, organizations in the coun-

The remark heard every

Tuesday the weather man
held out some hope Of relief,
but yesterday the report was
s'fair and continued warm.
As a matter of fact, however,
