The initiative of collecting, preserv-
ing and presenting these rare old
English ballads and folk songs has
been taken by Jean Thomas and they
were first presented at Ashland by
mountain folk, CARRIED in cloth of their
hand made looms. These included the
songs of love, romance, religion, foot
washing, dance and death, folk songs
that were in their prime in the days
of Queen Bess, DR.. Ben Johnson and
Sir Walter Raleigh.
Folk lore and songs of West Vir-
ginia and vicinity were collected and
recorded several years ago by the late
DR.. John Harrington Cox, instructor
of English at West Virginia Univer-
sity. These songs were later incorpo-
rated into his valuable book called
"Folk Songs of the South"
Kentucky folk lore has been pre-
served in books Devils Ditties, .

Prisoner Returns

The sheriff's search for a "trusty",
Frank Curry, who walked off from
the Jail several days ago ended when
the prisoner walked back in.
He was sentenced to sixty days in
Jail for violation of the automobile
regulations and had been acting as
trusty. He told the sheriff he wanted
to complete a deal to sell his car in
Friendsville, where he was formerly
employed and that he planned to re-
turn the same day he left but couldn't
make it.

PHILOSOPHY AT FORTY

n 1T is TRUE that life begins at
/forty, then here go!
Life begins today. So today is
the day to take my bearings, reflect
on what the years have taught me and
evolve a brief and simple philosophy
to guide me in the years ahead.
| believe in democracy. l want to
continue to live my own life and not
goose-step to the fiddle of regimen
tation. believe in growing more giant
oaks, not in leveling the forest to
scrubs! l believe in the stimulating
power of free enterprise and the free
spirit that conquers new frontiers.
believe that human personality should
come first, and the state second. |
believe in a form of government that
inspires, uplifts and frees the souls of
men, instead of trampling them in the
dust. Like millions of others, all that
| am or ever hope to be | owe to the
American Way of Life. This is Gods
Country and we must keep it free
| believe in pragmatic religion .
religion in action! 1t has been my OBJ
servation that it is more important to
watch how man lives than to listen
to what he says. l believe that God
stands for goodness and that all the
good things still exist in the universe
and can be attained if men will but pay
the price of their attainment. blame

which the world finds itself.

forward the war materials for
their armies and air force on the
Libyan front over line of COM
munications nearly 1000 miles
long from Tripoli to Sirte, which
is the only usuable port between
Tripoli and Bengasi.
Tobruk, 80 miles from the
Egyptian frontier, remains firm

AS there is no railway, every
bomb dropped on Tobruk or
Alexandra by Axis filters must
be brought hundreds of miles of
difficult desert road by chain
motor transport which in turn
makes the heaviest demand on
fuel supplies and drivers ra-
tions also brought from Tripoli.
LUFTWAFFE MORALE POOR
British authorities say that
documents recently captured
show that the morale of the
Luftwaffe squadrons remaining
in Libya is suffering under the
constant strain of such difficult
conditions. Letters which have
fallen into British hands, it is
said, accuse Italian generals of
expecting too much from the
German air force and emphasize
the difficulties of operating from
desert bases without adequate oil
supplies and repair facilities.
LIST TWO FACTORS
Raj officers say two factors
are responsible for heavy Axis
air losses In Libya.
First. unexpected technical diff
ficulties develop from desert
flying and the lack Of facilities
for repairing damaged aircraft.
Second, the British use in
