ELECTRIC POWER IS
TO BE RATIONED OUT

Atlanta, Ga. - Hundreds of in
dustrial plants in the Southeast,
it was announced Saturday, will
be rationed power this week in
order to keep defense industries
operating despite the critical cleo
trical energy shortage caused by
Dixie's worst drought in 80 years.
Throughout all areas served by
the Commonwealth and Southern
System in Alabama, Georgia, S..
c. and Mississippi power "allot-
ments" to industry will be one
third less than normal beginning
last Monday.
The Georgia Power Company
warned last night that the situa-
ton is critical and that ''the con-
sequences can be of most serious
nature" unless industry follows
the allotment" program and COM
mercial establishments and home
owners voluntarily also cut down
one-third on electrical energy use.

SINKING OF SHIPS is
AN ACT OF WAR

The sinking of the American
ship Robin Moor by a German
submarine was a violation of the
freedom of the seas and an act of
war against the United States, the
National Committee to Defend
America by Aiding the Allies de-
clared.
T. Evans Baxter, chairman of
the Asheville chapter released
the statement of the national COM
mittee here. The statement fol-
lows:
''The sinking of the American
ship Robin Moor by a German
submarine is a violation of the
freedom of the seas which our
government has declared is es-
sential to the maintenance of
American security. It is an act of
war against the United States. It
is not surprising because it has
been clear that the axis powers
included the United States in
their dreams of world conquest.

Obituary
PRESTON COLE DIXON

Preston Cole Dixon was born
July II, 1864 and departed this
life May 16. 1941, making his stay
on earth rs years, 9 months and
% days.
He was married to Lola May
Goodman, Oct. 6, 1888. To this
union were born Is children, all
of whom are living, except the
oldest daughter, Sallie, who pre-
coded him in death almost two
years ago.
He professed a hope in Christ
about 80 or 35 years ago and
Joined the Primitive Baptist
church at Senter and was or
dained a Deacon of that church
upwards of 20 years ago, and
served the church faithfully until
he became disabled. He always
enjoyed taking his brethren and
sisten home with him and his
doors were always open to his
friends and brethren, especially
the Primitive Baptists.
He was confined to his bed for
q months and suffered. no doubt,
untold misery. His children and
friends did all that kind hands
could do for his comfort in his
affliction. They feel that by his
departure Ashe county has lost
a good citizen, the church at Sen
ter a good member, and that Sis
ten Dixon has lost a kind and at
fectionate husband, the children
a leving and faithful father. We
feel that our loss is his eternal
gain.
He leaves to mourn his depar-
ture, his loving wife, IL children,
49 grandchildren, IL great-grand-
children, one sister, Mrs. Laura
Fender and one brother, Wiley
Dixon, both Of Nathan's Creek,
with a host of friends and rela-
tives. But we feel like we can
adopt the language of the old
poet who sang out and said,
aAsleep in Jesus, Blessed Sleep,
from which none ever wake to
weep"

POWER SHORTAGE NOT
HELPED BY SHOWERS

Atlanta, Ga.-Bit by bit, sum-
mer showers are lifting threats of
crop disaster through the South
eastern drought belt but the pow
er shortage problem remains un-
solved.
Officials of the Georgia Power
company announced that ''some
benefit had resulted from rains
in Northern Georgia but that in
dustrial power rationing would
start this week on schedule.
1t was pointed out that many
days of heavy rainfall would be
required to lift hydro power res
ervoirs back past the danger
marks whereas only a relatively
small amount of rain may be
quickly reflected in improved
