Mrs. Cox Gives
Painting To W. J.
Baptist Church

This week, the West Jefferson
Baptist church installed a beau
tiful oil painting, 'The Baptism
of Christ, in the background of
the pulpit. The painting, which
was the work of Mrs. M. G. Cox,
of Independence, was given by
her.
Beautiful in coloring, this paint
ing which is size six by fourteen
feet, shows Christ and John, the
Baptist, in the River Jordan. It
is very realistic and impresses
the observer.
Mrs. Cox, who was before her
marriage, Jessie Gambill, is the
daughter Of Mrs. J. c. Gambill
and the late DR.. Gambill. She
has painted for a number of years
and has won recognition for her
work in a number Of instances.
One of her paintings was one

Easter To Be Observed By
Special Church Services

The observance of Easter will
be marked by special services in
most of the churches of Ashe
county on Sunday. Easter mu-
sic as well as messages relating
to the event, will be delivered.
Rev. w. T. Wilmington, pastor
of the West Jefferson Baptist
church, said that in addition to
the Easter message on Sunday
morning, that a special service
would probably be held at his
church Sunday evening.
Rev. Hoyt Wood said that a
special Easter service would be
held at the West Jefferson Meth
odist church at HOO in the morn
ing.
Most of the Presbyterian
churches are making plans for
special services. At the Lansing

Hospital Applies
To Dukes Fund
For More Money
Resolution Passed, Thanking
DIR. Eller, DIR. Robinson and
DIR. Hubbard ~ "

The Ashe County Memorial
Hospital association still owes a.
round $1,000 on equipment and
at a meeting of the trustees last
Thursday night, the board applied
for 1880 more from the Duke
Endowment.
The Endowment has already al
lotted $3.50 to the hospital and
it is believed that the additional
$3.50 application will be ap-
proved at a meeting this week.
The Ashe hospital trustees like
wise passed a resolution, thanking
three doctors for their generous
contributions to the hospital.
These included DR.. and Mrs. Ell
Ter for their gift of $125 that was
used to equip the nursery; DR..
Robinson for $50 contribution
and DR.. Fred Hubbard for giving
half of his surgical earnings re-
gently, amounting to '$184.50.
Langdon Scott, business mana
ger, announced that the hospital
could not obtain metal memorial
plaques for the doors, showing
donors, because of the priorities
on metal, but that wooden plaques
would be erected for the "dura-
tion".

grades and will be an expansion
of the courses in the elementary
department, rather than high
school.
"In comparatively small high
schools like ours, it will be diff
cult to add an extra year now for
this years graduates" Supt.
Hash said.
If the extra year is added in
Ashe, and such action is optional,
no additional cost will fall on the
county because a 100000 ap-
preparation was approved by the
1941 general assembly to start this
program.
There are many advantages to
having a 18th year, it is pointed
out. Among other things, it would
enable all children to receive a
better and more rounded educa-
ton in the elementary and high
schools, and would encourage the

Restrictions
PlacedOn Sale
Of"Tube Goods

Effective Immediately, the war
production board will prohibit
retail merchants from selling
toothpaste or shaving cream in
tubes to any customer who fails
to turn in some type of used col
lapsible tube for each new one
purchased.
The provision makes retailers
responsible for the trade-in trans
action and directs that the used
tubes thus collected be held SUBJ
ject to WPB orders.
At the same time, the board
placed drastic restrictions on the
future use and production of COL
lapsible tin tubes and prohibited
their use entirely for foods, cos
metics and most toilet prepare
tons.
Restrictions were also effected
on the use of tin and metal in all
toys, and other articles.
Under terms of the provision,
retailers are liable to penalties
prescribed under the war pow
ers, if sale of toothpaste or shaw

the law.

Twelfth Grade In County
Schools Being Considered

The addition of a 18th year in
the high schools of Ashe county,
as well as all over the state, for
the 1928 term, is now being
deliberated by Supt. Hash, the
principals and the school boards.
Because of housing and trans
portation problems, as well as
lack of teachers, many problems
are involved in adding an extra
year, it is stated.
A definite decision concerning
the matter will probably be made
at principals meeting that will
be held within the next few days,
Supt. Hash said.
Except in large schools where
a number of elective courses are
offered, it is almost impossible
to provide another year for men,
