FARMERS WILL GET
COMMISSIONER LOANS
THROUGH LAND BANKS

Land Bank Commissioner loans
will continue to be available to
farmers of Ashe county under
terms of legislation signed by
President Roosevelt, o. H. Brac-
ey, secretary-treasurer of the
Jefferson National Farm Loan
Association, announced this week.
"Originally authorized in 1888
as an emergency measure" Mr..
Bracey said, "a Commissioner
loans have filled a real need in
farm financing. They have ena-
bled thousands of farmers to con-
solidate indebtedness at lower
rates of interest and begin to
make progress in getting out of
debt. They have helped many
tenants become farm owners.
And of course, during the depres-
sion, they made it possible for
thousands of farmers to keep
farms they otherwise would have
lost if such loans had not been a.
valuable.
commissioner loans are made
by the Federal Farm Mortgage
Corporation through Federal land
banks and are serviced by local
national farm loan associations
exactly as Federal land bank
loans are serviced. In Ashe coun-
ty there are approximately 1O5
Commissioner loans outstanding
for "a total face amount of $780,

that is, knocking out gun en-
placements at close quarters and
running the enemy out of their
Acknowledgements and hand gre
nades are still very effective
weapons. At Camp Forrest, Tenn,
we soldiers-to- have been get
ting plenty of training in both
simulated, of course.
One thing about bayonet and
grenade practice-in America, at
least-one can only go through
the motions; too much fooling
around with the real thing is apt
to be fatal, even to the student.
But when we get tired of assuming
the various positions for tossing
a grenade, or fed up with running
the regimental bayonet course,
our instructors invariably bring
up the Japs, who are reported to
use prisoners of war for bayonet
practice, as we'll as an uncom-
Portable amount of real ammuni-
ton during their basic training as
soldiers.
Running the bayonet course is
a lot like football blocking or
tackling practice. Before a rookie
starts, his officer coach gives him
a fight talk. He must then run
the 100-yard course, with its eight
dummies, in less than 40 seconds.
On each dummy he must use the
proper technique of parrying, but
ting and thrusting, being careful
not to penetrate so deeply that he
cannot get the bayonet out. And
always, as in football, his actions
are accompanied with the proper
groans and grunts.
All Right, If Necessary
Few soldiers cherish the thought
of ever having to use bayonet
in combat. Its a nasty business,
said my squad leader, mo matter
how you look at it, I had heard
dozens of soldiers boast of how
they would advance bravely into
any barrage of gun fire, but that
if it ever came to using bayonets,
they were going to run. This
was a pretty widespread feeling
throughout the regiment, and one
day I asked a battalion command
er about it. The old major. al
veteran of World War I, merely
chuckled and replied; SOLDIERS
have always felt that way about
bayonets and knives. But when
it's a matter of life or death, they
will fight with sticks, rocks, even
their fists, if necessary"
The hand grenade, or pine
apple" as it was termed in the
First World War, has been vastly
overrated by the movies, accord
ing to our company commander.
In too many pictures the hero has
"won the battle by him
SELF by picking up few grenades
and tossing them into enemy
machine gun nests. Since the gre
made can be thrown no farther
than 20 to 80 yards by the average
soldier, the chances are that our
hero would never get that close
to a machine gun. Even if he
did, he would probably restroy
himself as weel as the enemy.
Still Effective
Still and all, the grenade is one
of the most deadly weapons of the
infantry and has often been used
very effectively by the Nazls. 1t
is made of steel with wafflelike
indentations so that when it ex-

apart and fly in all directions
with terrific force.
The grenade is filled with high
explosive which is fired by time

Americas headlong plunge into
war production has wiped out in six
months the production Of civilian
household articles which last year
employed 100000 persons in $4,000
plants and had factory sales value
Of SO 800 900 900.
At retail, consumers would pay
more than $1,000, 600, 900 for the re-
frigerators. ranges, waffle irons, hair
dryers and other items which have
been supplanted by guns, plane
parts, bomb sights and other mill
tary items.
This mass transition to a war
economy has channelled into the
war effort several billion tons OF
steel, copper, aluminium. plastics and
other materials essential on the
worldwide battlefronts, the War
Production Board reported yester-
day in furnishing the conversion
survey.
The change was accomplished by
WPB orders Of the last six months.
Already many of the major plants
are turning out greater volume Of
weapons and materiel than their
peak output Of civilian goods, WPB
said.
The conversion report did not in
clude the $500, 200, 900 automobile
industry employing 100000 men and
women the $150,000,00 typewriter
industry employing $4,000. the $780,
