The Rationing Program

This rationing program we are hearing
about on every hand is not new in Ameri-
Ca It is just as old as the American ma
ton History tells us how Governor Brad
ford had to ration all food supplies in or
der that his little band might survive the
winter Considering the many hardships
those early Americans had to endure to-
day, with all of our modern comforts and
conveniences, we should gladly endure the
necessary rationing we are called on to
participate in.
We must remember that it is taking
lot of fuel for the African campaign, that
many of our sources of supplies have been
cut off or converted, that our vast army
and that of the allies, must be fed, regard
less. It is going to take rationing to win
this war and we are going to have ration
ing whether we like it or not, so why isn't
it easier to be cheerful about the matter?
Merchants do all they can to supply the
needs of the public and if they do not
have sufficient amount of all items it is

A close check of tire serial
numbers is to be made, and if the

Women At War

This is women at War Week. through
the nation and women are particularly
concentrating on the job of selling bonds.
Women are at war in many fields, but the
selling of bonds is the special task they
have set for themselves to do.
The public must be continually remind
ed and urged to buy bonds and it is par
ticularly fitting that special attention be
given to this phase of the war effort at
this time Christmas time is very near and
wise shoppers will do their buying early.
What more appropriate gift could be
chosen than a bond - "a present with
future" Not only is bond gift that
will increase in value as the years 60 by,
but by buying bonds we are helping to
preserve one of our greatest privileges,
democracy, freedom. Help to make "Wo-
men at War Week" a success by buying
more bonds now.

usually because no more is available.
There are often times many substitutes
we can use in the way of groceries and 9TH
er materials. Certainly in war times we
should be satisfied with some substitutes.
We heard man say the other day
while speaking of the armed forces, "Give
them the turkey I'll be satisfied with ham
and eggs or most anything else at home.
This is what we call the real american
spirit; for after ALL isn't winning the war
more important than anything else right
now?

Invest In Health

Again the annual Tubercular Christmas
Seal sale is on And Ashe county joins
the rest of the nation to raise the goal OF
100000 as set up by the National Iu-
berculosis Association. Ashe countys
goal is set at $3.50 This amount was ex-
ceeded last year and we believe it can be
done again.
The seal is an attractive picture of
health, couple starting off on sleigh
ride with a snow-covered red barn in the
background. And when we invest in these
seals we should consider it an investment
in health Not only are we helping those
suffering with the disease, but we are aid
ing in it's prevention, making possible re-
search work through which progress in
the control of this disease is made posi-
ble
AS usual, the sale of seals will be con-
Quoted through the schools as well as with
the general public. In conducting the
sales in the schools the teachers have a
real opportunity to do some educational
work among the pupils And education is
an important factor in the control of tu-
berculosis.
We urge everyone to cooperate with the
Woman's club in making the seal sale a
success again this year.

pound. The total estimated in
come realized by turkey growers
of the county who placed theirs
on the market last week end is
estimated at $28,704OO. This
was the highest price growers
have received here in several
seasons. If a ceiling had not
been placed on turkeys a short
time ago, prices would probably
have scared higher
w. G. Vannoy, of the Vannoy
produce company, one of the
largest buyers in this section of
the state, said that he purchased
around 5000 turkeys and that
they were unusually high in
quality this year. Mr.. Vannoy
said that most of his were ship
ped to Philadelphia and New
York. Other local buyers in
cluded Smithey's Store and j. A.
Reeves Turkeys were ALSO,
bought at Lansing and Warrens-
vile.
Slightly more turkeys were
sold on the market last week end
than for recent Thanksgiving,
due to the fact that only one
Thanksgiving date will be OBJ
served throughout the nation this
year.
A number of turkeys grown IN
this county are always held back
until the Christmas season.
