In Ashe County
Mrs. p. G.. Wright Is Chairman

Vice-Chairman

women at War Week" is be-
ing observed in Ashe county,
with efforts being made by indi-
viduals as well as groups, not
only to make people more con-
scious of the need of buying war
bonds and stamps but to increase
their sales this week.
Mrs. P. C. Wright, chairman of
the women's division for the
county, reports a canvass of To-
cal merchants to whom window
posters, arm bands and other ma
terials have been distributed, to-
gether with special suggestions
urging the public to invest in
bonds.
Mrs. Gorda Boney, vice-chair-
man, is conducting a special pro-
gram with the home demonstra-
ton clubs and All clubs through
out the county. Information and
suggestions have also been sent
to teachers.
At the meeting of the Won
ans Club, Tuesday Afternoon, Mrs
Ed M. Anderson discussed the
urgent need for buying more
bonds and stamps now - Give
them for Christmas and do your
Christmas shopping early, do il
now, she said. She pointed out
the many ways in which women
can help in this part of the wal
effort and presented each mem.
Der with a stamp book. She re.
ported one of her sales here
which is believed to be the larg.
est of the week, of $1,000 to Mr.
I. H. Stuart, of Lansing.

Announce Change
In Legion Meet

Ashe Post I'll of the Ameri-
can Legion and the Auxiliary
and the Sons of the Legion will
meet on the First Tuesday night
in December at 7:30 o'clock p. M,
at the Community House. This
change was made in order that a
number of the members who are
business men can attend, who
find it difficult to attend on Sat-
urday nights. These business
men have agreed to come to the
meetings if the time was chang
ed.
All ex-service men in the coun-
ty are urged to renew or give
their new memberships to the A
merican Legion to aid in the war
effort.
while the younger men are on
the firing line, those who have
heretofore served want to be on
the firing line on the home
'front.'" Commander Ira T. John
Ston said.
A recent report on member
ships in the state reveals that the
18th district, of which this Post
is a member, led the state in re-
newals in the contest sponsored
through Armistice day. The Ashe
Post likewish made a good show
ing. It was pointed out that there
are still a number who have not
renewed their memberships.
