The regulations are being i'm
posed on all states in the Western

''If in the opinion of the army

then it ought to be reasonable

industry, war industry workers
and the general public"
"a substantial majority of civil
ians in this state are engaged in
war work." Mr.. Duncan said. "or
in work essential to the success

farms, in mines and factories and
transportation concerns, and uni
formity of regulation of hours of
sale of spirituous liquors will, pro-
mote the observance of army and
navy regulations and is in the
public interest"
Mr.. Duncan said violation of
the regulation would be deemed
contrary to public welfare and
morals and would make the licen-
see subject to having his license
suspended or revoked.

North Carolina ranks first in the ma

tain counties rank at the top of the list in
this state which really puts Gus" on top,
sure enough.
With a percentage of native white of
97.9, Ashe county ranks sixth in North Car
DINA and is tied for this place by Watauga
and Avery counties. The five counties
with high native-born ranking are Mitch
ell, Madison, Yancey, Cherokee and Clay.
Then come Graham, Haywood, Macon, AL
leghany, Yadkin and Wilkes.
According to the 1910 census, this
county really has no "foreign-born". The
81 percent is represented by ATS negroes.
There are 22,183 native white. Madison is
the only county above us with no foreign
born.
The percentage of native-born popu-
lation in the state is TIC, negroes, ITS per-
cent and foreign-born less than 1 percent.
The state has 2,558,589 native whites and

Ashe Civilian
Defense News
BY A CITIZEN

Some of our good people ae in
clined to criticize or make light"
of the Civilian Defense program.
They say it is not practical and
not necessary in a rural county
like Ashe. Ashe county boys are
called on to 60 wherever the
country sees fit to send them. WE
ARE GOING TO BE LOYAL ON
THE HOME FRONT.
We hope and believe that no
enemy airplanes will ever fly
over Ashe county. If we are pre-
pared, are we being impractical?
REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR!
So plans are worked out to report
on any planes that may appear
over any part of thee United
States.
Is it impractical to buy Defense
Stamps and Bonds? To give to
the Red Cross and raise our quo
ia as every County in this section
except Ashe has already done?
To collect materials vital to the
war preparation of our Nation?
To take training in first aid and
home nursing? To sew and knit
for those who risk their lives
that we may live and remain
free? To raise as much food as
possible in order that hunger may
not stalk across the lands of the
United Nations as it is now stalk
ing across oppupied Europe? To
take an interest in and give a
word of encouragement to boys
who leave for Camp from our
county? TO contribute books
and reading matter for the SOL
dier boys who are giving up COM
forts that you may keep yours?
Listen, friends, you who smile
and criticize. What are you doing
to help the war effort? If you
have plans better than those the
Civilian Defense Councils are at
tempting to carry out, let us know
what they are and if those plans
will help our country, we will
help you if you won't help us.

conquer" The true American
says, II will give and work and
