Ashe Leads Again

Following an announcement made IN
last weeks paper regarding the demand
for quartz crystal, several people have
come by this office to discuss the posslb1ll-
ties and have stated that there was some
quartz crystal to be found in this county.
Just how much there is remains to be seen.
Those who have some of this on their pro-
perty should however, investigate it. Ii
it is of any value or quantity it may mean
a remuneration to them as well as helping
in the war effort.
AS pointed out last week more is need
ed for radio sets for ships tanks and air.
planes.
1t is interesting to note that the largest
crystal in the world was found in Ashe
county in 1871 and is now in the Morgan
Collection in New York. This crystal
weighed 81 pounds.

Many people who have seen these scrap
piles have complained bitterly about it,
for they have felt that if the people did
their part the government should certainly
see to it that every pound of scrap collected
is put to work.
Recently the Conservation Division of
the War Production Board assured us that
all of this scrap is needed and will be used
Because every town in the country had a
scrap pile to turn in at approximately the
same time, the transportation and assem-
bly, problem became an enormous one.
But much of the scrap has now found its
way to the steel mills and most of them
now have an adequate supply to keep their
furnaces operating at top speed for some
time to come. The remainder, which may
not be needed by the steel mills right now,
will be collected for government scrap
piles and will be doled out to the steel
mills when they again become short of
scrap.
We may have an adequate supply of
scrap on hand now, but it must be remem-
bered that most of us turned in all the
scrap we could and collection next year
cannot be expected to result in so large a
collection. Then the steel industry will
have to call upon the governments reserve
pile.

The Skyland Post takes this occasion to
extend to you 'bonds' Of good wishes for
Happy Christmas and Victorious New
Year. Yours is the task and the privilege
to carry on that we may continue to OBJ
serve Christmas in a free land Most of
you will remain at your post of duty over

and to bring about "Peace On Earth, Good
Will Toward Men,
AS you go about your duties you may
be cheered by the idea that the people back
home are constantly thinking about you,
making plans for your return, visualizing
small things that may bring some comfort
and pleasure to you as you arduously per-
form your tasks of war
This week, Mr.. R. Cutri, of the Carolina

Patriotic Eating

If the governments nutrition program
continues to spread as it has since Pearl
Harbor we are apt to come out Of this war
all looking like the winners of All club
health prizes.
All over the country, we hear, women
are taking nutrition courses, and reading
nutrition books and planning their meals
according to the latest rules from Wash
ington.
OF course the purpose of all this nu-
triton business is to prevent sickness and
Door health which could do more than our
enemies biggest guns to damage our war
plans To produce the fabulous amount of
equipment needed to win this war, to
carry on our civilian occupations under the
handicaps of war, good health is equally
important.
So if anyone hasn't learned the latest
rules and regulations for proper eating, it's
time to act. There is plenty of material
available, including a graphically and sim
ply presented booklet, now being distribut-
ed through defense headquarters through
out the country called eat Right, to Work
and Win"
In normal times it is a personal matter
whether we eat the wrong things or the
right Ones but today we are expected to
'eat right as a patriotic duty to our coun-
try.

A n. C.. Anniversary

Today marks the thirty-ninth anniver-
sary of the first airplane flight made by
the Wright brothers on the coast of North
Carolina, at Kill Devil Hill A small band
will gather to celebrate the birth of the
machine which has done so much to de-
crease time and distance in the field of
transportation.
Among those participating in the pro-
gram will be John T. Daniels, the only
living witness of this first historical flight
A group of small fighter planes will roar
over the mighty monument and dip their
wings in salute to the achievement of
the Wrights.
The observance of the anniversary of
the first flight takes on new significance
this year sinces the Smithsonian Institute
has recently, for the first time, acknow-
lodged that the Wright brothers were the
first to fly in a heavier than-air motor
driven plane. Shortly after the recognition
accorded, Governor Broughton invited Or
vile Wright to have the original plane
brought back to North Carolina Wright
has not, as yet, given his decision. The
plane now rests in museum in London
where it was placed when the Smithsonian
Institute failed to recognize the Wright
brothers as the first filters, some time ago.
