A Rare Privilege

People of this section had an opportun-
ity of hearing young genius in the must
cal world, Miss Elizabeth Reynolds, of
Charlotte, presented by her teacher, Don
Richardson, in concert here on Saturday
night
In addition to being the type of concert
seldom given in this section of the state,
it was for the benefit of most worthy
cause, the USO. Our only regret about
the performance was that such a small
number were present to hear this young
violinist
In addition to bringing Miss Reynolds,
Mr.. Richardson also brought another ac-
complished musician, Miss Betty Rus
sell, whose accompaniment at the piano
were beautifully and expertly rendered.
Mr.. Richardson, who is an honorary
member of the Jeffersons Rotary club,
and who might we'll be called one of Ashe
county's favorite adopted citizens since
both he and Mrs. Richardson have so many
friends here, has contributed much to the
musical world. His has been the privilege
of discovering and training talent among
the youth In finding a genius like Miss
Reynolds, Mr. Richardson must feel re-
warded for his years of teaching, and the
people of this section should be grateful
to him for giving them the opportunity of
hearing her here.
Mr. Richardson is interested in this
section and its people and might be per-
suaded to hold a musical summer school
here provided there is enough interest.
Think what it would mean to have
school of this type here. The Jeffersons
Rotary club is sponsoring such plan and
if you are interested, get in touch with
them. Let's give our children the op-
portunity of real musical training.

Jail For Bundists

Every time we hear of a member of
German-American Bund not being in Jail,
it worries us.
In joining Bund, each member pledges
to subject all other interests to the re-
quirements being concerned with the
spread of National Socialism in America
and loyalty to Hitler and the German
Reich
Many of the Bund members are Ameri
can citizens-and that has made it difficult
for the government to do anything about
them. But finally the department of just
ice has come to the obvious conclusion
that, by remaining loyal to Germany first,
those who were naturalized took their oath
of allegiance to the United States fraudu-
lently.
AS result of that decision a nation
wide program has been initiated to revoke
the naturalization of all former leaders
and officials of the German-American
Bund whose citizenship was obtained by
false representation. They will then be-
come alien enemies and informed for the
duration of the war;
When this program has been complet-
ed we will all be able to sleep more rest
fully.

Attention World War [
Veterans

Armistice day will soon be here again
and with it's coming, every veteran Of
World War must necessarily recall with
renewed interest their comrades and ac-
tivities in that struggle which bound them
together with lasting ties woven from
sacrifice and service Since that time, the
American Legion has DONE and will con-
tinue to do, much to make this world bet
ter place in which to live.
Now, when the membership drive is
in full sway, every member of the Legion
should without any delay, send in his
membership dues to his local organization
if he would help to build it's strength and
influence. For on Armistice Day, most
distinguished service citation will be a.
warded by national headquarters to each
Post obtaining 100 per cent renewals.
Here are some of the reasons cited by
the North Carolina Legion News for le-
gionnaires continuing their membership:
CONTINUED Service. The blue and
gold button of The American Legion testi-
fies to your honorable service for God and
Country in the war days of 1917-18, and
for "a years of loyal service to community,
state and nation during the days of peace
which followed. Today we are people
embattled in worldwide conflict. Our
need to serve is multiplied many times.
Rehabilitation. By your membership
you are now making it possible not only
to attain our objective of having every dis

attack had driven the Germans

Russians said today.
The Soviet communicate said
that in the new drive the Ger
mans sent infantry and tanks in

attempt to break the Russian
lines, but that the Russians re-
pulsed all attacks.
The British Eighth Army, I'M

Main Axis desert positions yester-
day on a major maneuver calcula-
ted to funnel the armored COL
umns to a decisive engagement
with enemy tanks.
So far the smuggling showdown
between the heavy ground fore
es had not begun after five days
of fierce fighting for position on
the initiative of the Allied forces.

present superintendent, DR.. Clyde
A. Erwin, as we'll as many other
educational leaders have issued
statements in favor of the amend
ment.
The second amendment to be

Under the present system with
the solicitors and judges being

Saving Our Pennies!
Franklin once said, "A penny
saved is penny made, and if
we will remember that we will
be surprisd at what our pennies
will amount to. Charles Doing
er gave an effective demonstra-
ton of that this week. He brought
in a collection of 1875 pennies,
which he had saved and bought
a War Bond. Charles, who is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. B. 0. Dolin-
ger, of Husk, is nine years old
and is in the fifth grade. Con-
gratulations, Charles. It is
young Americans like you who
will help win this war!
A Light On Black Outs!
Most people are very coopera-
tive of the war efforts and activi-
ties, but even the most patriotic
citizens feel there is a limit to
some things. A citizen from the
Fleetwood section is reported to
have come to Lee Hatley, man.
ager of the Blue Ridge Electric
Membership corporation two days
after a recent black-out here
which lasted only a few minutes
and asked, when is the black
out going to be over?" Accord
ing to the story, as reported here,
Mr.. Hatley, like most of the To-
cal people, had forgotten about
the black-out by that time and
asked the man what he was re-
ferring to. He replied that he
had read in the paper about a
military blaclz-out going to be
held, but had no idea they were
to be without lights two or three
days! Most of us would probab-
1y be asking questions long be-
fore that time.
The Pinch of War
A Mrs. Smith was talking to
her neighbor the other day about
the privations and economies OF
war.
"I suppose you are feeling the
pinch, too," she asked.
mo. indeed. replied Mrs. Jones,
who was a little over the pleas
ingly plump size, I'm fact, I feel
more at ease than ever before
since I have not been able to
find a girdle anywhere.
Old and New
History repeats itself in fash
ions in many fields besides
clothes. Here of late, home e.
economists and food experts have
been giving out instructions on
the drying of fruits and vegeta-
bles as a new way of preserva-
ton as we'll as an economy in
containers.
Mrs. E. c. Francis, who is an
expert in all of the ways of home
making made a pertinent obser-
walton of this the other day when
she remarked that instead of be-
ing something new it was one of
the oldest methods of preserva-

EFFICIENT CARE

White Cross Head Praises Connecticut Hospitals
 COnSCientiOuSneSS

'SThe hospitals of Connecticut de- serve the heartfelt thanks of the Connecticut people for the thorough and conscientious manner in which these institutions have prepared, de- spite severe handicaps, to carry on their efficient care of the sick throughout this war period" Wil- liam Robson, assistant general man. ager of the non-profit White Cross said in a Hospital Day message to- day to Plan members.
 "The White Cross, which fur nishes hospital services to 283, ,O0( persons in all parts of this state, is in constant contact with its P member hospitals. Shortages of helr and equipment supply have created for some hospitals extremely sert. ous administrative problems. These situations have been met, and, wt feel confident. will continue to bt met resourcefully in order that there shall be so slackening of the ability of the voluntary hospitals of Connecticut to provide essential services to the people dependent or them" he said.
 Robson pointed out the commu. nity must rely on its hospital facil- ities in wartime to curb threats oi epidemics, restore working men tG ti1e!r jobs in production lines, cart for the injured in the event of any type of civilian disaster. and guard the birth of another generation ol Americans.

Oakville Company
 Rescinds Notice
Impending Lay-Off of 25O Employees Averted By Rul-
 ing From War Production Board

offs had been considered necessary because of War Production Board order limiting the use of brass and copper, but that company repre- sentative, after journeying to Wash ington, secured permission for the continuance of production.
 Following procedure set down in the management-union contract, MT. Driscoll said, the company, through MT. Leavenworth, gave the union a formal three-day notice that the layoffs would be made.
 Unable to arrange a conference with the management, MT. Driscoll said, the union sent lengthy tele- gram warning that it would take the case before the War Production Board and the Manpower Mobiliza- ton Board. Subsequently, he said, MT. Leavenworth notified BrOnis Vaiculis, union chairman at the plant, that the layoffs would not be made.
 Meantime, the company and the union have reached no agreement on a new contract, though the pre- vious contract expired at midnight last night. Representatives of both sides were to meet this afternoon with Deputy Labor Commissioner Morgan R. Mooney.
 The Oakville Company was af- fected by the WIPE order of last week eliminating the use Of brass and copper in the manufacture of many items. Making of pins and other articles was affected by the order.
