when the unexpected occurs. Timing is
very important and often results in I'M
timely deaths or accidents, if pot figured
correctly.
The accident which occurred in Ashe
last Friday afternoon when deputy Lin
Miller was painfully injured in the per-
Torrance of his duty, is much to be regret
ted. But it is an example of what dynamite
can do.
Again we say that whether you are eros

building fire or committing any act that
might involve an accident or injury, cal

The Hospital Drive

The final drive to raise necessary funds
to open the Ashe county hospital debt-tree
is now underway. Members Of the finance
committee, Rotarians directors OF the hos
pital are working to ra Sc the needed tunds
The goal has been set at $1,000 Let's reach
it before Nov. 1!
Think what the hospital will mean to
Ashe county, the pain and suffering it will
alleviate, the time it will save when time
counts in the saving of life.
Think of the satisfaction it will give
thousands of people to know that when
they need hospital treatment they can be
taken to one right here at home where
their friends and relatives will be nearby
and can see them.
Think what it will mean from the stand
point of money alone, It will keep thous-
ands of dollars right here at home that
Ashe people annually spend out of the
county in connection with illness and hos
pitalization.
Those who have not made donation to
this worthy cause are urged to do so now
during this final drive. Those who have
already given some and feel that they are
able to give more can help out human
tartan cause by doing so.
Aside from the churches, Ashe county
will probably have no other institution that
will mean as much for the good of hun1ani-
tv. Christ, the Great Healer time and again
showed his interest in the physical ills OF
man. And in his name many hospitals have
been built
Ashe county people can make success
of any undertaking Let's demonstrate this
spirit by working together for a success

Ashe Minerals And Defense

Divine, a mineral found IN Ashe and
Allegheny counties and other parts Of
Western North Carolina may prove big
aid in national Defense This mineral which
contains 20 to 80 per cent metallic magnes-
ium is badly needed by the federal gov
eminent today in making bomber planes
and incendiary bombs.
A recent Tennessee Valley Authority re-
port shows the presence of this mineral
here, and this paper has requested the State
Department of Conservation, Gov. Brough-
ton and Congressman Doughton to have
national defense officials make thorough
survey of the counties to determine the
extent of the presence of this mineral. Con-
gresham Doughton is already at work on
the matter.
DR.. J. L. Stuckey, N. c. geologist, fol-
lowing the request made to him, announced
that report made "some years ago. does
not show large commercial deposit of
divine in Ashe or Allegheny. It is quite
possible that when this report was made,
as there was no immediate demand for oil
vine, no special effort was made to deter
mine it's extent DR.. Stuckey is being urged
to consider the IVA report and to make
an up-to-date survey of the two countless
Should there be sufficient deposits of
divine in this section to justify the govern
ment developing them, it would mean
much to the people of Ashe and Allegheny
and to the defense movement.
The REA stands ready to build large
hydro-electrc plant sufficient to furnish
necessary power for such development.
We believe that every effort should be
made to determine the extent of the pre-
sence and possibilities of the development
of this mineral, long dormant in the depths
of the earth, which may mean much to the
defense of American liberty

Always Be Careful

Many years ago, the town Of Greensboro,
during a safety campaign painted the first
three letters Of the alphabet, A. B. c. on the
sidewalks at all street crossings. The mean
ing of these letters was simply a reminder
to "alwavs be CAREFUL And this advice, if
followed, often means the savings Of life
and property.
During the past week three tragic acct
dents occurred in Ashe county resulting in
death and injury to several persons. We
cannot always avoid accidents, but we can
decrease them by exercising every neces-
sary care Gasoline is highly inflamnable
and care should be taken not to expose it
to heat or to a flame We heard once of a
man asking about another and found that
he had come to tragic end. When he in
uuired into the details it was found that
the man in question had lighted match to
look into his gas tank to determine the
amount of gas therein! This, of course, is
an extreme case, but care should be taken
in the handling of gasoline.
Blowouts will happen to tires and often
result in wrecks among the most careful
drivers Tires should be inspected and
changed when necessary and with tires not
in the best of condition a slower speed than
usual is deemed wise. There are safety
tubes, too, that will lower the chances OF
blowouts And while all accidents resulting
from blowouts cannot be avoided, they can
be decreased if we exercise due care about
tires and speed.
Dynamite is useful but dangerous and
care must be exercised in the use of it.
Sometimes, even with the utmost care re-
garding its usage accidents will happen

Repeal Is Certain

A climax is expected this week at the
nations capitol in the fight to revise the
Neutrality Law so as to permit all Ameri-
can ships to be armed and to carry war
materials to Britain and to other countries
in the war zone.
Whether we like it or not, there is no
other course left for this nation to follow at
this time, and we predict that the hotly
debated issue will result in the revisions re-
quested by the administration.
Why? First, because this democratic ma
ton cannot ever "dO business with Hitler.
Second, because we are committed and
have gone a long way towards siding with
Third, because majority of the people of
this nation favor the revision.
The famous Gallup Poll few days ago
disclosed that, according to its latest sur
vey, seventy-two percent of the people
want to see our merchant ships armed.
Leaders of the Democrats and Repub
icans agree that it "is the only course to
pursue now" In an address last Saturday
night, Wendell Willkie declared that the
"axis powers are winning now and unless
we act soon, it will be too late"
"Our ships will continue to be torpe-
doed unless we have them armed. Axis vic
tories will not end unless we deliver in ra-
pidly increasing amounts our goods into
the hands of those who are fighting for
freedom on land and sea-"
The Republican presidential candidate
even went further than that. "But even this
is not enough-we must remove the show
and deception of hypocritical neutrality
laws We must abandon the hope of peace"
We are afraid that Mr. Willk;e and Mr..
Roosevelt are right. We dislike the idea of
parting from the wistful "hope of peace,
but in our hearts we firmly believe that
che who bows to the will of Hitler will
sooner or later feel the deadly pangs of the
Nazi heel crushing out all individual lib
erty and freedom"
Hitlerism must be destroyed before the
sun can shine again in this darkened hour
of world history, and upon this nation rests
civilizations Pickering hope.

Nazi U-BOats Sink Two More
U.S.. Ships; Moscow Still Holds

The activities of the Axis forces
on the high seas which included
the sinking of two more Ameri-
can-owned merchant ships within
the past few days has caused ma
ny Americans to feel that mer-
chant ships should be armed for
the emergency, and probably
brought the U. S. nearer to war
this week.
On the Russian front bitter
fighting continues with big losses
on both sides and German forces
slowly advancing toward Moscow.
On the northern front, the Rus
slams said Leningrad's defenders
"are inflicting heavy losses on the
enemy, annihilating his manpow-
er and equipment"
One Red army tank unit was
declared to have killed 500 Ger
mans, another 400, and both were
credited with the destruction or
capture of quantities of Nazi sup
plies. A third unit in three days
of fighting was said to have des-
troyed 90 trucks loaded with Ger
man infantrymen.
The picture of the Leningrad
area appeared to be the brightest
of any of the fronts yesterday.
The Red army's grim defense
ring around Moscow generally
still held firm in fierce overnight
fighting, and Nazi tank and infan-
try onslaughts failed at Kalinin,
95 miles to the northwest, at Ma
loyaroslavets, IS miles to the
southwest and at Orel, 200 miles
to the south, the agency said.
West of Moscow many subur-
ban villages changed hands as
many as three times a day." the
Moscow radio said.
The Moscow radio broadcasted a
dispatch by a correspondent Of
Red Star, the Red army neWspa
per, saying the situation in the
Donets basin is serious this week.
In some sectors Of this south
ern front the correspondent said
numerically superior German for
ces had succeeded in breaking
through Red army defenses, but
the gains cost the Germans heaVi-
ly.
Germany's high command closed
the fourth month of the Russian
war with announcement of the
capture of the big industrial city
of Stalino in significant new de-
velopment of the campaign in the
south, but it kept complete sill
ence on the progress of the arm
les around Moscow.
Once again - as before, during
intervals between major an
nouncements-the public had to
take the high commands word
that everything was proceeding
favorably before the Russian CAPT.
tai.
moscow will fall when German
military leadership decides to take
it," German spokesman said. They
added, however, the occupation of
the Soviet capital would not be
"a decisive stroke in the war in
the sense of the occupation of the
Donets basin, which now is near
ing completion"
