ASHE EXPERIENCES
STRONG WIND, SNOW

King winter blew his icy
breath around this county
Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning, with a fast-driven
SHOW following on the heels of
q cold rain.
Some slight damage was
caused by the strong wind
when trees were uprooted in
some sections and the roofs
and windows of houses were
damaged.
So strong was the wind, that
a truck was blown over in the
down town section, on Tues
day night.
Around two inches Of snow
fell, but the strong wind, to-
gether with the sunshine, soon
scattered most Of it except
where it had drifted. The
thermometer, however, drop
ped lower Wednesday night.

Sugar Stamp q
Good For First
Pound Of Coffee
Peculiar American Dri n K
Takes Place Among Ra-
toned Foods

Local stores able to supply the
trade in coffee have been doing
a rushing business on this item
since the Greece" was lifted on
Monday morning.
AS explained before, new
stamp No. 81 in the sugar ra-
tioning book is good for the pur-
chase of one pound of coffee be-
tween Monday and January 3.
Those who for one reason or
another do not have war ration
ing book No. l may register and
get such a book. In cases where
the registrant had an excess a.
mount of sugar in May and did
not get book for that reason, if
the amount they had on hand
was more than 81 pounds they
are still not entitled to sugar cou-
pons and these will be removed
before they are given the book.
In other words all coupons except
those good for coffee in that case
will be removed before the book
is issued.
Several stores were short of
coffee the first part of the week
but are now receiving some and
with the rationing program be-
ing activated expect to have E.
nough to supply the demand.
It was pointed out that cafes
and public eating places of all
kinds are no longer supposed to
exchange a cup of coffee for a
nickel unless the customer also
buys a meal.
The rationing regulations pro-
vide that meal" may be piece
Of pie or a sandwich, but it can
not be a package of potato chips,
a few cakes or crackers, or can
dy, and it cannot be ice cream.
While this is practically treason
for old Java drinkers, it is the
rationing regulation and must be
obeyed.

Fuel Oil May
Be Signed For
Some Delay In Securing COu'
pons; Must Have Same
49,. By December 10

Ashe county rationing officials
have been informed that the fuel
oil purchase plan by signed GER
tificate might be extended until
December 10, but that further
postponement would be absolute
ly impossible.
Under original plans, everybo-
dy was supposed to have coupons
with which to buy fuel oil by
December first, but since the
plans could not be met, other ar
rangements had to be made. it
was explained. The dead1ine
first set for filing the fuel oil
applications was November 81,
and the deadline had to be ex-
ten0ed into last week because
of lack of sufficient blank appli-
cations to be distributed. The
number of users of kerosene and
other types of fuel oil turned out
to be extremely large, and ra-
tioning people see little hope of
immediate processing Of the
thousands of forms which have
piled up in their offices.
Those persons who have to have
fuel oil may obtain it by signing
an agreement to turn over to the
dealer the proper coupons when
they are issued. This will enable
users to obtain fuel until the cou-
pons can be distributed.
