las mismas ofrecen una enorm'

Drivers May Get
Licenses Here
Representative Of State High
way Department Here
Each Wednesday A. M.

At the request of this newspa-
per, Ashe county is to have a
representative of the State High
way Department who will give
examinations and issue licenses
for drivers.
w. D. Heffner will be in West
Jefferson each Wednesday morn
ing, making his headquarters at
the Duncan Motor company.
Mr.. Heffner will be in Sparta
on Wednesday afternoon. For
some time, those from Ashe and
Allegheny desiring to secure a
license to drive car had to go
to Boone or North Wilkesboro, as
there was no examiner for either
county. This necessitated a per-
son going to one of these points
without a license to drive and
was also handicap because OF
the shortage of gas and tires.
The presence of an examiner
one day each week in both coun-
ties will be a big help to the mo-
toring public.

Given Out

Ashe county's quota of recap

emily this month to work off
some of the top essentials, Ralph

urgent requests on file at present,
and possibly permit a few new
applications to be approved.
A supply of ration books for
non-highway engines has been
received by the OPA office and
are now available for operators,
though no dates on kerosene reg
istration have yet been given.
Beginning October Is, all food
retailers were given information
