Christmas Decorations

For several years the spirit of Christ
mas has been greatly stimulated in West
Jefferson by beautiful Yuletide street
lights and decorations, and we regret that
the war has made it necessary for WPB to
request that no multi-colored lights be
used this Christmas.
The reason for the request is to con-
serve electricity and wiring that are need
ed in the war effort to make guns, tanks,
ships and airplanes.
AS real patriotic Americans, our mer-
chants are expected to comply with this
urgent request. It does not, however, ap-
ply to interior Christmas decorations and
we are looking forward to seeing the
stores dressed up in the Christmas motif
and displaying Christmas merchandise.
This is merely another one of the many
sacrifices that the war is imposing upon
liza, on the ocean or in the army camps
there will be no gay Christmas decorations,
so why should we complain here at home?
These men are fighting today in order
that we might have an old-fashioned
Christmas tomorrow. They are fighting
to preserve the very spirit of Christmas -
the spirit of the brotherhood of man, the
spirit of "peace on earth and goodwill
toward men,. The spirit of Christmas is
the spirit of giving and many of our boys
may give all.
Remember these things, it should be
easy for us to want to give up Christmas
street lights and many of our former lux
uries and pleasures. In recognition and in
gratitude for this giving, the Giver of all
perfect gifts many give us that best Christ
mas decoration - A White Christmas!

More FOrecasting

One of the ma or issues involved in
this war is systems Of government" =. =.
Democracy VS.. Dictatorship =. Commun-
ism VS.. Dictatorship
Even before our Democracy was
brought into the gigantic global struggle
we were having here on the home front
little battle of our own between Democrat
cy on the one hand and Socialism, Com
munism and Dictatorship on the other.
We were trying out various socialistic
reform measures and at the same time we
were drifting into partial dictatorship. AT
ter eight years of the New Deal, we were
not pure Democracy. During the de-
preston parts of the old capitalistic system
upon which Democracy is founded failed
and we undertook to do some experiment.
ing, using few of the best features of
both Communism and Dictatorship.
We were still in the midst of this ex-
pertinent when the Japs struck Pearl Har-
Dor. Partly for that reason, we were I'M
prepared for the blow that struck us and
our people were disunited. We were in
the midst of striking new balance be-
tween capital and labor, farmer and the
general welfare, aged, dependent and af-
flicted and their security.
To speed up efficiency in the war eff
fort, the government is being given con-
troll over virtually everything So far as
possible, the rudiments of Democracy are
being retained. Actually both of our poll
teal parties are really "win the war par
ties"
When the war is won and over, how
ever, when Democracy and Communism
prove that they will survive, their form
will no doubt change considerable to meet
the needs of more complex social world
Our Democracy will retain its fundamental
principles of individual freedom of Speech
of action, of worship, of assembly and of
a free press, but it's operations will prob
ably be "more managed'. Its political
parties may retain their same names, but
as in the past few years, their aims and
detectives may change drastically.
The future will unfold those things af-
ter the war and the thing with which we
are primarily concerned today is that both
parties, every elected candidate of both
parties should and must be dedicated first
of all to winning the war" Nothing else
really matters great deal except that!

ferences and it is the wish of the
War Production Board that the
industry cooperate in relieving
drastic shortages of certain types
of dairy products in certain a.
reas", he said.
eft is the desire of the Kraft
Cheese Company to cooperate in
every way. For the benefit OF
the war effort, the production of
the West jefferson plant will be
turned into the channels desired
by our government. This will
be for the period of demand only
and will in no manner affect the
identity of the Kraft Cheese Com
pany or our operating policies,
he declared.
Mr.. Johnson said that when the
government no longer needed the
milk, the manufacture of cheese
would be resumed.

SHARE-MEAT PLAN
EXPLAINED TO GROUP
Confined from PAGE One)

then.
Around so representatives of
the various groups attended the
organization meeting this week
when Miss Elizabeth Williams,
from the Extension Department,
in Raleigh, explained the plan.
The program is not one that
calls on everyone to cut the use
Of meat. It calls for reduction
only by those who have been ac-
customed to eating more than 212
pounds per person per week. No
one expects families who are now
consuming below that amount to
cut their consumption, she eX-
planned.
1T is patriotic to share. Our
fighting men must have meat;
they come first. Our fighting AL
lies-who now have much less
meat than will be provided for
us-must also have meat. Self
discipline by civilians, staying
within the allowances set, will
provide the meat for Number One
war needs" she said.
1T is fair to share. Unless peo-
pie who can go early to the store
and the public dining place hold
down their purchases, those who
come late in the day or the meal
period will find no meat. Many
of the housewives in war work
cannot get to the meat shops until
the end of the day. It is unfair
to ask workers to bear the whole
brunt of sharing with our fight
ing men and our Allies. It is fair
for all to share and share alike
she added.
cit is wise to share. By limiting
our consumption of meat now we
can be sure that we will have an
adequate supply of meat to last
us throughout the year," Miss
Williams declared.

Youth And The Red Cross

This month, Ashe county school chill
dren, along with millions of others
throughout the nation, are enrolling for
service in the American Junior Red Cross.
And in enrolling, the youth is signing its
name on scrolls signifying its support on
an American ideal.
Not only are the young people joining,
but most of them will work toward carry
ing out the ideals and ideas of the Junior
Red Cross. The Junior Red Cross organi-
cation is Is years old and today it has a.
round 100000 members throughout the
United States, working for Victory. Of it,
President Roosevelt recently said:
&c. I commend the American Junior
Red Cross for so amply justifying the
faith of those who were its founders, Is
wears ago. I am confident that the future
achievements of the organization will ever
be increased The needs of our nation at
war are great. The American Junior Red
Cross, because it has proved its ability,
can be counted on to assist greatly toward
meeting these needs"
Miss Beulah Osborne who is ably serv-
ing as Chairman of the Junior Red Cross,
is to be commended on the work she is do
ing in this county. Miss Osborne deserves
the help and cooperation of all teachers
and parents in her work.

Ashe County farmers are pur-
chasing feed wheat for $1.Ol per
bushel, through the Commodity
Credit Corporation, delivered In
bulk to West Jefferson. Last
week a number of farmers re-
ceived a car of 1888 bushels. The
second car has been ordered and
other cars will be ordered as fast
as orders, with cash, are placed
for the wheat at the County A
gents office.
At the present prices the wheat
purchase program is saving farm
ers many dollars in feeding live
stock. Pound for pound, wheat
is equal in feeding value to corn.
If you do not have sufficient corn
to feed, and corn is more than
$1.00 per bushel, it is economy to
buy wheat as a substitute. How
ever, it is not recommended to
substitute ground wheat for
more than so percent of any grain
ration.
The following practical sug-
gestions are given for using wheat
in the ration for feeding live
stock:
Feeding Dairy Cattle
A-When COWS are fed legume
hay and silage, or mixed hay
feed; 10 parts of ground wheat;
10 parts of ground oats, barly or
corn; 5 parts of cottonseed meal
$3.50
B-When COWS are fed non-le-
gume hay, silage, or combina-
ton of both. feed: 8 parts of
ground wheat; 8 parts of ground
oats, barley or corn; 9 parts of
cottonseed meal $500
The following mineral mixture
is recommended for these feeds.
Many ailments of our cattle are
due to a lack of minerals:
Ground limestone, 200 lbs.
Steamed bone meal, 200 lbs.

Things To Come

A recent cartoon, of things that are to
come, shows E. Rommel as the Number |
tourist guide, who knows his way around
the African deserts! Rommel is certainly
on the march and like all other Americans,
we are happy that he knows his way back
ward
In it's first trial blow to liberate Eu-
rope the United States Army has, in less
than two weeks time, changed the war
picture. The landing of American troops
in North Africa and their immediate ac
tions prove conclusively that Hitler has no
corner on lightning war.
This invasion is only the beginning of
things to come, but look what has been &C
complished in so short time:
l. Demolished the whole playhouse
that Hitler had cunningly constructed in
the western Mediterranean on the founda-
ton of Vichy's neutrality"
g. Secured in II hours for the allies
who now include many former Vichy
French-much more than 1000 miles Of the
North African coast with it's several air
and naval bases.
3. AS the first week ended part of the
American force, joined with the British
First army under a British general was
speeding into Tunisia to seize the keys to
the central Mediterranean as well.
f. This army of perhaps 100000 men
was reaching out to join hands with the
British Eighth army from Egypt in move
that would wipe out German Field Mar
shall Erwin Rommel and establish the u
nited nations on new 2,300-mile front a
cross the continent of Africa. Rommel was
in a race to see who would get to his base
at Tripoli first, himself or his foes
5. Dakar, greatest potential threat to
the Western Hemisphere, had been neu-
tralized.
6. The allies had gained an Atlantic
bridgehead at Casablanca through which
could be poured this winter the troops and
material with which to convert North At
RIGA into vast invasion camp"

duction return warrants it. In
this war, we are more dependent
on production than we yer were
before. For that reason we are
willing to give labor all the
breaks.
But if they bog down on pro-
duction anywhere along the line
Or if they refuse to work longer
hours when it is necessary-there
will be more feeling against them
than there ever was against the
"profiteers" of the last war.
If we can have an inflated
standard of living and also win
the war, all right-but all Of us
must remember that victory, not
dollars, is the only real concern
of every American.

The effect of this on Europe has been
three-fold, the Russians have rejoiced O.
yer it, Mussolini has literally trembled
with fear and Hitler has been rushed into
making preliminary preparations to ward
off an invasion from the Mediterranean
There are many other results which
will probably grow out of this invasion of
French Africa, that are sure to lead to the
one achievement for which we work, pray
and fight . victory!

Treating sheep for Internal pa
rasites: This has been one Of the
worst years for internal para
site infestation that we have had
in years, due to excessive rain
fall throughout most of the graz
ing season. 1t is very important
that systematic control measures
be taken to rid sheep with these
parasites. Phenothiozine is the
most effective treatment for sto-
mach worms and the Nadular
Disease worm which is also very
common in sheep.
