ed the hundreds of volunteer
troops which we were priviledg-
ed to do on this trip without be-
ing impressed with Canada's
mighty war effort.
This same spirit was manifest
ed in civilian life. Many things
they have already learned to do
without or to use in limited
quantities in order that the war
may be prosecuted.
Hundreds of billboards bore
such signs as What have you
done today to help win the war"
Loose talk may sink a battle
Ship" make your car last long
er to help win the war;" and ma
ny others to serve as a reminder.
War bonds and stamps are being
sold in large quantities.
The women, too, are organized
in war work on the home front
and thousands Of them are en-
ployed in war industries.
The French Cuisine
For those who like to eat, and
who does not, food in the pro-
vince of Quebec is fit for the
gods. Though reminiscent Of its
French origin, the food of French
Canada, through climate and a.
daption, has achieved rare per-
lection of it's own, not to be ex-
celled anywhere. Rich sauces,
pungent with spices and herbs
add a flavor to vegetables and
meats that tempt the appetite and
make one forget the word, diet.
Apple cider and native wines are
not spared and of course, the IA
nous maple sugar and syrup add
much to the sweetness of many
dishes.
Here is a typical luncheon
menu:
Celeri - Raids
Fruits a Ia Chatelaine
Consomme Quebecois
Saumon a la Saguenay
avec Concombres branches
Sauce Hollandaise
Petits pois
Pomme de terre a la Citadelle
Parfait ALL sirop d'erable
Petits tours
Cafe.
Needless to say, this luncheon
which was served to our group
by the pulp and paper industry
of Canada, was even better thar
it sounds.

WPB Will Make
Study OF West

After Report, Citizens Will Be
Given Time To Protest
Any Proposed Action

Following a notice released
last week from the office of War
Information, that the Office Of
Defense Transportation had re-
ceived request from the WPR
for certification as to whether the
55-mlle branch of the Norfolk
and Western railroad from Abing-
don to- West Jefferson, along with
"a other branch lines throughout
the country, are essential to the
war effort, local citizens have
been, very much concerned over
the outcome.
According to the bulletin from
the war. information office, the
requests were made as a prelim-
mary to WPB action in requisi-
tioning non-essential rails to pro-
vide relay tracks for armed SER
vices and other essential purposes.
According to the bulletin, before
Mr.. Eastman submits his certifi~
cation to WPB, Ralph H. Jewel,
special advisor on rail abando~
ments, will make a thorough
study of each line or segment
and after Mr.. Jewell reports to
the Director and makes a recon-
mendation, interested persons will
be allowed two weeks in which
to protest or comment upon the
findings.
The list of branch lines to be
studied includes IS throughout
the country, the Abingdon-West
Jefferson branch, however, is the
longest on the list.
There have been rumors of this
Investigation for several weeks
and the announcement is of no
surprise here.
Ed M. Anderson, publisher Of
the Skyland Post, recently wrote
Gov. J. M. Broughton about the
matter and Governor Broughton
replied, ''You may be sure I will
keep in touch with the matter and
do whatever is appropriate to a.

special services in the Presby-
terrain churches. A number of
the Baptist and Methodist church
es are also holding Thanksgiving
services.
Since President Roosevelt has
asked that Thanksgiving be set
aside as a day of prayer, many
churches and individuals are ex-
pected to take cognizance of this.
In spite of the rationing of
some items. Thanksgiving tables
here promise to be up to par as
the grocery stores report extra
good business and many people
in the county have not only
raised their own turkeys, but also
have local grown cranberries and
of course, pumpkin for the trad

Streets Not To Be Decorated
But Santa Will Make His
Appearance Dec. IL

West jefferson merchants met
here Tuesday morning and made
plans for the coming shopping
season when every effort will be
made to supply the needs of the
buying public.
At the general request of the
WPB, the town will not have the
usual beautiful street lights this
year, which have attracted much
attention in the past.
The merchants voted, however,
to sponsor the appearance of
Santa Claus, who will officially
open the Christmas Shopping
season here Dec. IL. The Sky
land Fost agreed to publish a
Christmas shopping edition,

readiness soon. Some items have
already been placed on display

sending packages to distant
points could be served.

sor a window contest for the
merchants, the details of which
will be announced later.

ing vote of thanks for his service
and Jack Rhodes was chosen to
succeed him this year.
