V-Mail Has No. l
Priority; On Par
With Ammunition

There's something about the fill
ing in of form that makes a per-
son more careful than he is when
writing the same facts on ordinary
paper, which may be the reason
why comparatively few V-Mail let
tiers go astray in the Navy.
In most cases, V-Mail letters are
addressed adequately and legibly.
They make everybody happy.
They reach their destination as
quickly as possible. They give the
mail clerks no trouble. And they
don't bounce back on the senders
for a more complete or more legi-
BILE address.
In few short months, more
than 100000 V-Mail letters have
been delivered, and if the Navy has
its way there will soon be a switch
of enough users of ordinary mail
to make the V-Mail total more than
20, 0O0,O 900.
The Navy Department is cam
paigning, ashore and afioat, for the
greater use of V-Mail, establishing
No. l priority for it and setting
up small portable V-Mail stations
wherever possible.
Recently one Navy post office ex-
hibited days pile of misdirected
letters which did not contain
single piece of V-Mail. On other
days, according to the postal clerk
V-Mail had appeared among the
"Nixes"-but on the short end of
a 100-to-1 rate compared with ord
mary mail and air mail.
Similar reports in praise of "
Mail have been received from ships
and shore stations which the Navy
Department has contacted in the
current campaign. Posters advising
the men in the Armed Forces to
use V-Mail now appear on bulletin
boards from coast 10 coast and
across the seven seas.
The V-Mail MUST go through,
says the Navy, which is why it has
been given No. 1 priority-on a
par with ammunition.

Wade E. EIler
Speaks To Club

Wade E. Eller, who has made
a thorough study of the early
history of this county, was the
speaker at the Rotary Club last
week when he told of the pioneer
settlers of this section and it's de-
velopment.
He traced it's history from 1863
to the present time and pointed
out that as early as 1881 this Sec
ton had set up an independent
form of government, nearly a
half century before the actual
revolution took place. The speak
er was introduced by J. B. Hash,
program chairman for the even
ing.
John F. Reeves has charge of
the program this evening when
Rev. John S. Jordan will speak.

M43 Lambs Sold
Through Pool
By 43 Owners
Many Are Choice Quality;
Wyoming Ewes Are Plac-
ed In County

The first shipment of lambs
through the Ashe county pool
was made last Friday to Jersey
City, N. J. Around 43 farmers
shipped 443 lambs which were
unusually good in grade and
weight. Approximately half of
the shipment graded choice, or
blue circle, and only 80 lambs
were in the common grade. This
means that out of 443 a total of
4O4 were good or choice with an
average weight of 81 pounds per
head.
A truck load of Columbian
Ramboulet ewes were delivered
to Ashe county Saturday. These
ewes were placed with Matt Car
son of Peak Creek, D. L. Mccoy,
of Creston, Burgwin Carter, of
Lansing, and Miss Lenna Gam
bill
These Wyoming ewes are very
thrifty and have proven to be
longer lived than our native
sheep. The wool clip averages
from 8 to 10 pounds per head,
which is also profitable, in addi-
ton to a good lamb crop when
crossed to our Hampshire rams.

Years OF Service
w. J. Church Has Splendid
Progress Under Leadership
Of Rev. w. T. Wilmington

Rev. w. T. Wilmington, who
has served. as pastor of the West
Jefferson Baptist church for the
past eight years as we'll as serving
other churches in the county, has
resigned to accept a call to the

cessor, but the following have
been named to serve on a pulpit
committee: w. E. Vannoy, Ira T.
Johnston, Mrs. B. E. Reeves, Da-
Vid Hairless and John A. Weaver.
Leaders in the church express
ed regret over Mr.. Whittington's
resignation, and pointed out that
he has accomplished much for
the church during his stay here.
Records reveal that during his
pastorate, the West Jefferson Bap-
fist church building was complet-
ed, furnished and all indebtedness
paid off.
There has also been established
here in the church a ministers
library for ministers of the asso-
citation. A pastors home has
been built for a cost of around
$500.
Mr.. Wilmington has done much
to further and increase the inter-
est in the Vacation Bible schools.
During his work, as many as 80
of these schools have been held
annually in the Baptist churches
of the county. He has also done
much work in the Sunday
Schools.
Leaders of the church point out
that during his entire stay here,
there has been a fine spirit of CO.
