METAL FOR WOOD AND
COAL STOVES is FREED

Washington - Because of the
fuel Oil shortage, the war pro-
duction board has made unlimit-
ed quantities of iron and steel a.
valuable to certain manufacturers
to produce coal and wood-burn-
ing stoves.
The board withdrew orders
limiting the amount of metal that
could be used for such product
ion.
The order applies to manufac-
turers who in 1940-41 did less
than 100000 per year business
and are not located in labor
shortage areas. This is a CLASH
fication of stove makers set up
some time ago when larger COM
panies in the same industry were
converted to war industries.

AAA Farmers Asked To
Invest Checks In War Bonds
Special Request Sent With
Each Check By The
Treasury Department

Ashe county farmers, along
with the other 100000 through
out the nation, who are receiving
agricultural adjustment checks,
are also receiving a leaflet from
the Treasury Department urg
ing them to convert a part of or
all the payment into War Savings
Bonds. Mailing of the leaflets be-
gan late in October and will con-
tinue until late winter.
County Agent Roy Grouse said
that no checks had arrived as yet,
but that checks last year, after
lime and phosphate and other
deductions were made, totalled
$4,000 and he expected payments
this year would be about the
same.
Ashe farmers checks are ex-
pected soon, however, he said.
The leaflet, in addition to point
ing out the benefits to purchas-
ers of War Bonds, contains an or
der form on it's back to facilitate
the conversion of AAA checks in
to War Bonds. It especially en-
phasizes that farmers will get
81 for every So invested if they
hold Bonds until they mature.
LAY EN- On the Fighting
Line" is the title of the folder,
which outlines a three-fo1d fl
nancial plan for farmers. It rec
ommends that farmers Produce
all you can on your farm" "Get
your debts in shape" and en-
vest to the full limit of your a.
bility in War Savings Bonds both
to help your country and safe
guard your own future"
Four reasons are given to il
lustrate that it is both patriotic
and profitable for farmers to con-
vert a portion of their income in
to War Bonds. They are: 'You
will be helping to buy the fight
ing equipment needed by your
sons" "You will be making the
safest investment in the world"
"You will be getting a profitable
return on your money" and 'You
will be doing your part to stave
off initiation"
after the war;" the leaflet en-
phasizes, your savings will en-
able you to buy the necessities
and luxuries you perhaps need
now but can't get until then.
"Your savings will provide you
with funds for adjustments on
your farm, education, travel, rec
reation and retirement"
It further stresses that 'War
Bonds are the best form of fl
nancial reserve ever offered to
United States farmers" and ur-
ges these producers to MAKE Ev-
cry Market Day Bond Day"

Republicans Win
In Watauga County
State Board Asks County To
Investigate Ballots In
Wrong Box

Raleigh - The state board of
elections has instructed the Wa
tauga county board of elections
to throw out "all fraudulent and
invalid ballots cast in the gen.
eral election November 3 and to
change its certification of votes
candidates received accordingly.
Effect of the instruction to the
county board will probably be the
throwing out of 274 Democratic
ard 80 Republican ballots which
were found in constitutional "a
mendment boxes and in the cleo
ton of Republicans instead of
Democrats to county surveyor
and three county commissioner
posts.
The state boards findings were
issued after it had conducted two
hearings into the Watauga cleo
ton disputes and had sent agents
Of the state bureau of investiga-
ton into the county to investi-
gate conditions surrounding the
election.
The state board also instructed
the Watahga board to investigate
and determine who was respon-
sible for placing in the constitu-
tional amendment box these
fraudulent and invalid ballots"
and to report to the district soil
citor so "that the guilty parties
may be prosecuted as provided
by law"

Opening gun in the battle to save
Ohio crops will be fired early next
week when QUESTIONABLE cards will
be sent to the 10000 farmers in
Ohio by the United States Employ
ment Service.
Purpose of the cards, according to
Wade Hammond, director of the
United States Employment Service
in Ohio, is to obtain a reliable, state
wide picture of farm labor. needs, as
the first step in a coordinated effort
to supply farmers in Ohio with ade-
quate help.
Response to these cards will form
the basis for further contact by the
Employment Service with those who
thus indicate a need for additional
workers.
"The practical approach to this
problem, Mr.. Hammond said, "is to
find out as accurately as we can,
how many workers the farmers think
they will need. Then we can go
ahead with our plans to find these
workers and make them available
for farm work"
Upon the completion of this initial
survey, Mr.. Hammond said, the EN-
ployment Service will Immediately
launch a program to recruit farm
workers and make them available to
farmers through the facilities of the
81 field offices maintained by the
United States Employment Service
in Ohio.
"We know that the normal sources
of farm labor supply have been de-
pleted by Selectve Service and the
demands of war industry. We know,
also, that the projected 40 per cent
increase in farm production will
greatly increase the demand for
farm labor. Our job, once we have
a clear indication of farm labor re-
quirements, will be to find and tap
new sources from which an ade-
quate supply of workers may be
drawn, Mr.. Hammond said.
The card being sent out to farmers
is of the ordinary duplex type. One
part bears the address of the farm
er and message from the Employ

be available for work on other farms.
Beneath is reserved space for addi-
.tional remarks and the signature and
address of the farmer.
BY simply checking off the state
ment which applies to him, the farm
er may indicate the extent of his
needs or the part he himself will be
able to play in relieving the farm
labor shortage.
In asking for the utmost speed in
returning the cards, properly filled
out, Mr.. Hammond expressed his own
belief that farmers would welcome
this opportunity to cooperate with
the United States Employment Ser
vice.
