saved by their efforts They continuously
seek to impress upon arrangements and
employees that fire is powerful ally OF
the enemy, that normally replaceable pro-
perty is today irreplaceable due to national
shortages A munitions factory, shipyard
or other war plant destroyed by fire is
a permanent impairment of the war effort.
A large measure of responsibility for
the success of fire prevention rests with
the local community. Civic leaders must
insist that fire ordinances be modernized
and enforced Particularly is this true in
communities that have overnight become
industrial centers of war production. Here
again the experience and knowledge OF the
fire insurance industry in the field OF fire
prevention, play an important part Fire
prevention experts know how an effective
fire ordinance should be drawn. They
know what safety standards are of first
Importance, and they can help to eliminate
unnecessary restrictions that may actually
hamper industrial operation.
Not days delay should be excused in
taking steps to prevent fire in our war
plants.

Serving A Vital Need

A report of the years activities of the
Ashe County Memorial Hospital present.
ed at the annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers, on Saturday. revealed that the institu-
ton cared for an everage of nine patients
per day, with total of 1926 patient-days
for the year. There were total of SO ma
ior operations performed and III minor
operations, with no deaths reported from
operations.
This is a splendid report from small
hospital, but the figures only tell small
part of the story. It means that much pain
and suffering has been alleviated and
health restored in many cases. 1t means
that many people were afforded hospitali-
cation, who probably could not have gone
elsewhere And it means that most of
them were near home where their friends
and relatives could visit them.
To DR.. and Mrs. Jones and to all others
who have helped to make the operation of
the hospital a success, we extend our best
wishes.
Every citizen Of Ashe County should be
proud of the service the hospital is render
ing It should be remembered that it was
through the cooperative efforts of htn-
dreds of citizens that the hospital was es-
tablished. Let's continue to cooperate to
keep it a growing institution, serving
growing need. There is still much equip
ment the hospital should have in order
that it may even better serve the needs of
the people, Why shouldn't it be one of the
best equipped hospitals in this section of
that end

Our Neighbors' Health

Few people realize how medical pro-
gress, such as has been made in the United
States during the past generation, is being
extended to the other American countries
Not only in commerce, but in health must
North and South America be closely allied.
The publications of the Pan-American
Union and the Pan-American Sanitary Bu-
reau indicate that certain problems of the
South American nations which may be as
much scientific as economic, demand the
aid of their North American neighbors for
ultimate solution.
Good health is fundamental to human
progress. The downfall of many nation
may be definitely related to malaria,
plague, cholera or smallpox. Fortunately,
the United States has been able to stamp
out most of the great plaques which beset
the rest Of the world. Through philan-
thropic and other agencies it is giving it's
help wherever possible to aid other ma
tions in meeting these hazards.
If we can help bring to other countries
some of the blessings that have fallen to
this nation as the result of tireless, in
dependent, self sacrificing medical profess
sion, we will be greatly benefiting our
selves. To illustrate plague that is preva-
lent in Java, India and China, has been
detected among rodents in the far west of
the United States. It was carried here
years ago on ships from the Far East. The
mosquito that carries yellow fever has
been found in airplanes flying into the
United States from other countries.
A progressive and watchful medical
profession, and the constant interchange of
information from the health officials of all
the Americas, is necessary for the saliva
ton of all the American people.

Wartime Freezing OF Liquor,
Wines and Beer

Isiah 5:22-Woe unto them that
are mighty to drink wine, and
men of strength to mingle strong
drink.
Psalms 1:6-The way of the
wicked shall perish.
How do we expect to win a
war as long as we manufacture
and make legal alcoholic bever-
ages? This is one freezing that
think is necessary to win this
war. The whole nation needs to
turn to God in prayer.
The repeal of National Prohibi-
ton has been a CHASTITY failure.
According to statistics drinking
among both civilians and soldiers
has greatly increased. Why? Be-
cause the sale is legal and the
skillful advertiser carries the ap-
peal to the public and deliberate
ly misleads them by adroit state
ments that cover up its bad eff
fects upon both individuals and
society. Everyone who voted for
the repeal needs to get down on
their knees and ask God for for
giveness and pray that there may
be created a national conscience
