Over $28,OOO.OO
Sold; Quota Was
$2l,l66 For May
County Has Made Excellent
Record Every Month Dur
ing The Past Year

Ashe county surpassed it's May
war bond quota by more than a
third with total sales of around
$29,OO000 for the month. The
quota was set at $21, 166.00.
Reports from the West Jeffer-
son post office show that a total
of $14,418.75 was sold here; while
the Northwestern Bank, of jeff
erson reported $12,375. The JEFF
ferson post office sold $1,500,00.
The total sales of these three
sources reached $28,293.75. Re-
ports from Lansing and other
smaller post offices were not
available for publication, but it
is expected that they will swell
the total to over $29,O0O.OO.
It is interesting to note that
during the month of May, last
year, Ashe sold total of $27, 49,
IS, just slightly under what was
sold this May.
During the entire year, Ashe
has made an excellent record in
buying bonds and the public is
urged to continue to keep this
record up.
"Ashe county boys are making
a fine record in the service and
we must continue to back them
up by keeping up our good work
of buying bonds" an official of
the sale of war bonds, said.

Ashe Bond Sales Far Over Quota For May
Farmers Asked
To Cooperate In
All Labor Needs
Urged To Pool Machinery AS
Well AS Labor In Har-
vesting Of Hay

''Many farmers are now ready
to start putting up hay in Ashe
county and extra labor is needed
on some farms to take care of
their meadows, county agent
Roy H. Grouse, said, and explain
ed that there is no better way
than to exchange labor and equip
ment among neighbors in order
to get these jobs done.
Farmers in different commun-
tiles have already made arrange
ments for pooling their labor and
equipment with two or more
farms to harvest meadows and
other crops" he said. "This is
the time to be neighborly and
help win the war on the home
front by helping each other do
the jobs one man cannot do"
Farm workers in the county
who will have a few days they
can help on some other farm are
urged to register at the county
agents office, or with neighbor-
hood leaders, in order that this
information can be furnished to
the farmers who are unable to
secure help. "Team work will
win the war. Let it be known if
you can and will do farm work
if you are not employed full
time" Mr.. Grouse declared.

The order was made effective

it was issued at the request of
the war food administration be-
cause production of canned milk
has fallen 5 per cent below ex-
pectations and because of huge
army, navy and lend-lease re-
quirements. Officials explained
one reason for smaller production
is a trend to divert milk into va
rious manufactured products.
OPA said specifically that no
extra points, beyond the standard

made available to ordinary con-
sumers for the purchase of can

New Guinea, into Allied hands
was indicated strongly today by
a communique from Gen. Doug
las MacArthur's headquarters,
which said "the enemy's position
now is desperate"
Whether the japanese, who have
held the Huon Gulf town since jan
uary 25, 1912, propose to make
a fight Of it should become apparent
soon. So Tar, only minor skirmishes
have been reported by two Allied
forces pinching in on Lac from the
northeast and northwest.
From the northeast, Australians.
who have battled the Germans in
North Africa and are openly con-
temptuouS of their present foes
ability to fight, have crossed the
Busu River only two miles from
the Malahang airdrome on Lae's
outskirts.
You watch" said one Australian
sergeant. When we get in close
to the Jap, he'll turn tail or fold up. +"
These Australians, slowed up
principally by swamp and jungle,
now have 25-pounders shelling Lac.
Up the Markham Valley to the
northwest of Lac, large force of
Americans and Australians, which
has been flown in by air transports
over the 12,O0O-foot- high owen
Stanley Mountains, has reached
Narakapor, II miles from the enemy
base. However, there are forward
elements less than 10 miles from
Lac.
Our forces from both sides are
rapidly closing in ON the main
citadel of defenses," today's COM
