OF Feed Wheat

Farmers of Ashe county now
may purchase government-oWn-
ed wheat for feeding to livestock
and poultry at prices in line with
or below the cost of corn, ac-
cording to J. w. Gambill, chair
man of the county AAA commit
tee. -,
The wheat is being offered for
sale in Ashe county by the Com
modify Credit Corporation at 9942
cents per bushel, for September
delivery, in carload lots. Mini
mum cars contain between 1888
and 1000 bushels, and delivery

Chairman Gambill said the
county committee will assist any
farmers wishing to purchase feed
wheat in less than carload lots by
grouping orders and handling
purchases and distribution. Each
sale to a feeder or group of feed
ers is subject to approval of the
committee. The wheat also may
be purchased by grain dealers
and feed professors, but bond
must be posted to guarantee that
the wheat will be used only for
feeding purposes.

Some of the events are readily
recalled while others are just as
easily forgotten. Mrs. Fred Payne,
of Treetop, last week brought in
copy of a story on the negro
hanging which occurred IS years
ago. The story, which appeared
in the Jefferson Recorder gives
much of the 40-minute talk made
by the prisoner. Mrs. Payne re-
lates that her father was one of
the men who guarded the prison
er. How many readers would like
to see the story re-published?
Hunting And Fishing
There are many people around
here who like to hunt, but I doubt
if there is more youthful, sue
cessful hunter than Basil Duke
Barr, Jr Basil Duke had 10 squir-
rels to his credit this season when
school opened. And he has proof
of this too, a string of tails hang
ing on the walls. Leet Vannoy
seems to be his chief rival, and
they vie with each other to see
who can out-hunt.
Jack In The Bush!
1t is an old game but revived
again each year as chinquapin
time comes around. A. H. Church,
Of Idlewild, was in the office
Saturday and brought us some of
the biggest chinquapins we have
seen this year. Mr.. Church lam
ented the fact that there are so
few chestnuts in this section now.
"They used to be just about as
plentiful as chinquapins," he said
Gene Scott remarked the other
day that he used to be a champ
ion at collecting chinquapins from
others in the "Jack-in- the-bush'
guessing game.

Making hay while the sun
shines is a good adage, however,
not everyone can do it. But this
summer when we had much rain
mixed up with the sunshine, Mr..
Alvin Hartsog, Of Clifton, says he
really made hay.
In fact Mr.. Hartsog says he be-
lieves he made a record, for he
put up 81 stacks of hay. Can any
one claim a better record?
An Honest Policy
Honesty seems to be a very
prevalent policy among most peo-
pie. A Rev. Mr.. Martin, of Clifton,
recently lost his billfold with his
gas ration card and many other
valuable papers. This was found
by Thomas Wyatt, of West JET
ferson, and turned in here. Incl
dentally, Thomas, there was re-
ward left here for you by Mr.
Martin, who was very happy to
have his property restored to him.
Jim Mcneil recently turned in
a billfold belonging ito Howard
Lyall, which he found in the Bea-
yer Creek section. Lyall claimed
the purse and also left a reward
here for Mcneil.
Mrs. John M. Burkett was
recently given $40, here through
error, for a 81 bill. And after
getting home and discovering it
Mrs. Burkett brought the bill
back again.
What is your Hobby?
Do you collect anything? ). L.

brought into the office a picture
of a whale weighing 68 tons, a
real live mermaid, Joe Louis hit
ting the trail in a training camp,
and a postman who killed a 40
foot reptile. Mr.. Gilley says he
has many more oddities and pic

More Scrap Is
Still Needed
WPA Is Operating 2 Trucks
In The County For Col
lection OF Vital Scrap

All citizens of Ashe county are
urgently requested to search their
premises for all remaining scrap
metal and rubber Hundreds of
men, women, and children in
Ashe county have made an eff
fort to clean up every single
pound of scrap around their
homes and have sent it to scrap
dealer or had it picked up by a
WPA truck, while many others
have not collected their scrap"
Salvage chairman Roy Grouse
said.
More scrap is badly needed to
build guns, tanks, planes, bombs,
and many other implements of
war necessary to defeat the axis.
Two WPA trucks are still a.
valuable, full time, to pick up
scrap in the county. B. w. Jones
urges those collecting scrap to CO.
operate with them by concen-
trating as much scrap in one CEN
trail point as possible, then to no.
tify him to send a truck to pick
it up. Tires are seriously short
and it will not be possible for the
truck to 60 to each farm.
The county collecting plan is
for everybody to bring their
scrap metal and rubber to their
nearest filing station, store, or
garage to be collected by WPA.

Farewell Party to Naval Volunteer Held at

BY A FIREMAN

Waterbury firemen secured per-
 mission for Q temporary absence
 from the city Saturday night, to do
 honor to one of their mates about
 to enter the service of the United
 States navy, Pvt. Timothy G. Dowd
 of truck company, No. 3. They
 weren't far away, in fact they were
 within call, Botelle's well known
 farm house up Bantam lake way, famous for it's pretty girl summer
 boarders in years past, and noted for its ability to supply a good feed" as they say to the average hungry wayfarer. We were hungry
 because it had been nine hours or 50 since we ate our regular fire- house mid-day meal at each of our respective stations. And so 1t was that each of us. was given a good-' sized and choice piece or half of @ well-cooked broiler, with plenty of side dishes to help us satisfy the wants of the iI1nerman. We are fast and good eaters, and naturally we made short time in clearing the long table of all of the various eat- ables. We had everything to eat, but nothing to drink; Botelleas still observes the prohibition lawC, from the days church hymns were sung in the "parlor" of the little old fashioned farm house by the many summer boarders of years ago, What memory for some of us to come to 8 place tender and dear to us in our younger days.
 Engine 2 and Truck 3 rosters were in charge of the affair, right fully so, because Tim was one of the attaches of that particular fire- house. Captain Andrew. J. Leary of Engine 2 was toastmaster or mas- ter of ceremonies. Every man of the house possible to be of, was there, and so were some other fire- men. Marshal Den.

 The flremen have some barber shop quartettes" and they were heard in number of old time numbers; and many of the members sang special numbers arranged for the occasion.
 Just before the entire affair closed, Captain Leary reviewed the life of Pvt. Dowd, praised him for his exceptional service to the fire department, and then handed over to him a purse, with the good wishes and friendship of all of the members of the fire department.

IRISH OBSERVE
 COLORFUL FEES
 FOR 12TH YEAR

New York, June 22-(UP)-The campus of Fordham University was transformed into a bit of old Erin this month when Gaels representing the 32 counties of Ireland assembled to the skirl of the Irish War Pipes to participate in the 18th annual Feis, conducted by the United Irish Counties Association.
 Promptly at noon several hundred competitors marched onto the foot ball field to compete in the. tradi- tional step and figure dancing. Many of them were children and all wore colorful Irish costumes-the green and saffron kits predominating.
 On the baseball field, competing Irish pipe bands thrilled the crowd as they marched up and down the field under the scrutiny of impartial Scottish judges.
 The Tyrone Society band, wear ing silver buttons engraved with the Red Hand of O'Neill" on their kilts was the winner with the Boys from County Cork" second and the Clan Eireann," third. Fife and drum bands also completed and the pipers engaged in solo contests.
 Treasures Displayed
 Vocal competitions were staged in the gymnasium, contestants singing in both Gaelic and English. The Ladies Choirs were replendent in silken Braths (shaWlS) richly em- broidered with Gaelic designs. The instrumental section featuring piano, violin, harp, flute and Uileann pipe followed. In another part of the gymnasium speakers vied in recita- tion and story telling.
 Still another part of the gym was devoted to an exhibit of rare and valuable treasures including a fac- simile of page of the Book of Kells, written by monks in the Eighth cen- tury; a replica of the Chalice of Ar- dagh, made of beaten gold with ena- mel finger grips; several Tara Brooches and a Belleek Chalice. Pro- minent Irish artists and sculptors including Patrick Collins, the Nc Sweeney Brothers, Seamus McMa- nus. Dr. McCreedy and Violet Pow ell were represented.
 Consul McAuley Attends
 The proceedings came to an abrupt halt at three o'clock when the of- ficers of the Feis and their guests of honor paraded from the admin 1stration building to the gymnasium preceded by the color guard from the 69th Regiment New York Guard and the Tyrone Pipers Band for the de- dication ceremony. Brief addresses were made by Rev Dr David c. Cro- min, S.J., head of the Department of Philosophy and the Hon. Leo T. McAuley, Consul General of Ireland to the United States. The cere- nnony was concluded with the sing ing of the national anthem.
 The Feis originated in Ireland during the reign of Ollav Fodhla who was King of Ireland seven or eight centuries before the Christian Era.
 The great Fairs and Feisanna ceased with the English invasion of the 12th century and 1t was not un- til the Gaelic revival of this cen- tury that the Feis again became factor in Irish life.
