We Highly Resolve

eve here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain-that this ma
ton. under God, shall have a new birth OF
freedom-and that the government of the
people, by the people, for the people shall
not perish from the arth."
On the birthday of Abraham Lincoln IS
fitting time for us to consider the full slgnl-
ficance of the famous quotation from his
Gettysburg address,. It is also good time
to add our deep approval to that resolve,
for every one of us today is determined to
see to it that no American who has died
for the cause of freedom has died in vain.
We may not think of our defense of
freedom from the viewpoint of preserving
a heritage for which many of our forefa-
theirs gave their lives. We are more apt to
think of it as a struggle to preserve our
own comforts and to protect the future OF
our children.
But actually the American tradition is
something bigger than any of us-some-
thing that was built up at tremendous
sacrifice by generations of hardly souls
who worked and fought to prove that
nation could be Conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all men
are created equal
At times in our recent history it has
looked as though the hard work done
that the nation our forefathers conceived
had been completed and we of the present
generation could sit back and enjoy the
fruits of freedom without further struggle.
But that is to be. Our freedom has
again been threatened and we as Amer
leans, are once more called upon to protect
it with our lives. Once again we must
prove to another challenger that "the gov
eminent of the people, by the people, for
the people shall not perish from the
earth"

Many n. c. Farms
Raising No Hogs

Southerners have a reputation
for eating mare than our proper
tionate share of pork. Yet, says
Prof. Earl H. Hostetler, State Col
lege animal husbandman, the 1910
census showed that 86,604 of the
278,276 farms in North Carolina
were raising no hogs. Pork is one
of the most important of the civic
tory Foods.
"Pigs reproduce more rapidly,
and can furnish the family table
with a greater quantity of tasty
products in a shorter time than
any of the other farm animals"
Prof. Hostetler declared. "Then,
too, the initial cost of the pig is
low; it will eat and utilize a wide
variety of feeds, and will do equ-
ally as well when fed alone or
with a group of other pigs"
The State College leader says
these are some of the reasons why
a farmer with only a few acres of
land can produce his own supply
of pork, and thereby contribute to
the food for Victory" program
by relieving other producers who
are equipped for the commercial

Three dealers Here EMPLOYED
81 People Last Year With
Payroll Of $34,8O4

The effect of the war on the three
automobile dealers here and the
Importance Of these dealers to the
Jeffersons and Ashe county were
stressed in an impressive voca-
tional talk by Lem Hafer, local
Chevrolet dealer, at the weekly
meeting of the Rotary club last
Thursday night.
GAS every one knows, the war
has seriously effected our bust
ness" he said. During the dura-
ton we will only have limited
number of cars to sell, which
means that in order for us to stay
in business we will have to reply
primarily on the income from our
mechanical departments"
He pointed out that the auto
mobile dealers are institutions,
employing 81 people in 1941, with
"a being directly dependent up
on these employees. The payroll
of the three dealers here last year
was $34,80487, "eighty percent of
this was no doubt spent locally"
Mr.. Hafer said.
Direct purchases by the dealers
from local firms and individuals
amounted to $2O,436.97, he stated.
The dealers paid $4,466,83 in
sales tax to the state last year.
This, it was pointed out, is about
one-third of the county's total
sales tax payments last year. "New
car sales tax is $15," he said.
For unemployment compensa-
ton, the dealers paid $677.O1 in
1941 and $634.81 in social secu-
rity taxes. In county and town
taxes, the dealers paid $422.88.
"These figures give you some
idea as to the size, value and inn
portance of the local automobile
dealers. We are not complaining
We are patriotic American citi-
zens and want to help win this
war. At the same time, we want
to stay in business.
eff you think we are entitled tc
your mechanical work, we will
appreciate your patronage. We
need it,

er, was a guest. Other guests pre-.

Francis Watson
OF Beng, Passes
BY w. S. Watson

Francis M. Watson OF Beng,
who passed away at his
home near the National Parkway
on the summit of the Blue Ridge,
February 3, at the age SIX
ty six years, was an outstanding
citizen of his community. For
twenty five years or more he was
Postmaster, serving under both
Republican and Democratic Ma
tional Administrations. For almost
forty years he was a merchant
and business man, a partner of his
brother, w. S. Watson.
Although handicapped by af-
Fiction, having been compelled
to walk on crutches for thirty five
years of his life, he was active
in every movement for the
welfare and progress, civic or
religious, of his neighborhood and
section. His home and business
were near the county line be
tween Ashe and Wilkes. Part of
the time he lived on one side of
the line and part of the time on
the other. His friends were num-
bered by hundreds in both coun-
ties. He was a leader in, and
faithful to his Sunday School and
Church and one of the most &C
tive in the construction of the new
brick church known as the Blue
Ridge Church on the side of the
National Parkway. At the dedica-
ton of this church, high tribute
was paid to Mr.. Watson by out
standing leaders in this section of
North Carolina, including Con-
gresham R. L. Doughton and
Judge Johnson J. Hayes.
Mr.. Watson's wife died a num-
Der of years ago. He is survived
by one brother, w. S. Watson,
one sister, Mrs. Florence Phillips,
four sons, Spencer Watson, Fill
more Watson, Hayes Watson and
Burl Watson, and three daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Theodore Greer, Mrs
Ed Hairless and Mrs. Paul Owens
He loved his family and he was
loyal to his friends. He was as
lofty in character as the mountain
which he loved and upon which
he lived and died.
