Ashe County's Future

The future of cAshe county is going to
be determined to large extent by its
farmers, as it has been in the past for the
majority of people in the county are farm
ers. And the youth of today are the farm
ers of tomorrow. Are we preparing them
for the job that is ahead of them?
This paper has continually advocated
the teaching of vocational agriculture IN
the high schools and as we see it today,
there is no greater need in the county. A
prominent farmer said this week that he
had been spending a short time in near
by county where vocational agriculture
had been taught for some time and that he
not only noticed big difference in the
farms but the farmers. Young men, in
stead of leaving the farms, are staying on
because they like to farm, he declared
He added that he wished more of the
Young men of Ashe would pick farming for
a vocation instead Of leaving the county
and following other trends of work
Let's teach them more about it so that
in the future they will stay in Ashe county
and help to mold its future.

To the Editor:

Last weeks issue of The Sky
land Post listed the places and
dates that the County Health De-
partment plans to hold Typhoid
immunization clinics during the
next few weeks. It is important
for those. who have never been
immunized against Typhoid or
whose last immunization was
two or more years ago to attend
the first clinic date listed so that
they can receive the three injec-
tons at weekly intervals. Those
who were immunized last year
for Typhoid are encouraged to
get one injection this year and one
each year from now on to keep
their immunity at a safe level:
There is one good piece of news
for those who have suffered very
sore arms or varying degrees of
general reaction from Typhoid

A Permanent Peace

Future world peace depends to large
extent upon the United States providing
we do three things: First, keep our faith
with the American system of industry by
allowing individuals and businesses to sur
vive with sufficient earnings to maintain
private jobs in free enterprises; Second, ac-
lively participate in world affairs; Third,
lead the way in broadening the flow Of in
ternational trade.
The first is essential to peace because
the alternative to free enterprise is state
socialism, and state socialism leads to war.
The dictators have proved that. The Sec
ond is essential because our cooperation is
necessary to enforce a ust peace The
third is essential because nations tied to-
gether by trade are far less inclined to
fight.
Every effort must be made to awaken
people to the fact that our leadership is
sorely needed in the creation of lasting
peace and a new era Of trade, just as every
effort must be made to awaken the people
to the fact that all of us have a common in
terest in the maintenance of the free enter
prise system
In pleading for such leadership, Clark
H. Minor, chairman of the National For
eign Trade Council, says: "When we look
over the economic record of the past and
see the ravages caused by war =. we
must be convinced that the establishment
of permanent peace would be so beneficial
to every inhabitant Of the world that there
is hardly any immediate sacrifice which
we could be called upon to make which
would not be repaid thousand-fold."
He further declared: "That we and ev
cry country may enjoy the fruits of the
particular aptitudes of other nations, of
their particular natural resources, requires
that no barriers shall be placed in the way
of our access to such fruits. This means
intelligent and courageous action with re-
spect to tariffs, exchange regulations and
all the unnecessary impediments which
now restrict the flow of goods =. Our
country has the least to fear from being
leader toward freer world trade, and with
our resources of such great richness, we
are surely the best situated to take the lead
in program benefiting not only ourselves
directly, but all other civilized nations"
Peace, trade and free enterprise are de-
pendent upon each other and the freedom
of mankind depends upon the maintenance
of all three.

injections in the past. The State
Health Department now encour-
ages a new system of giving Ty-
phoid vaccine published in the
April issue of The Health Bulle-
TIM in which only one tenth OF
the former dose is injected direct
ly into the outer layers Of the
skin. This method causes only a
small red spot and gives no reac-
ton severe enough to cause any
one to lose time at work or feel
bad.
The Public Health Nurse is
willing to give Smallpox VAGINA
lions to any persons from one
year of age on up on any of the
clinic dates. It has been found
that there is much less reaction
from the vaccination if it is CIV
en- during the first six years OF
life. Because of the recurrence
of smallpox in some industrial
areas of Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania in recent months, every
Ashe county citizen should see
that he and all his family are pro-
tected from this very serious dis
ease. The nurse is equipped to
give Diphtheria immunization to
any children over six months of
age. A second injection for Diph
iberia must be arranged at the
Health Office in Jefferson or
with a private physician about
two or three months after the
first one.
The Health Department does
not give routine vaccinations
against Whooping Cough but en-
courages parents to have all ba-
bies six months of age or older
receive the three injections from
their family physician in order to
| protect their children during the
age when this disease causes the
most deaths.
In a county where free immuni-
zation against Typhoid, Smallpox
and Diphtheria is offered to ev-
cry citizen, it is an evidence of
neglect, bordering on criminal,
that any case of these diseases
should ever again occur in Ashe
county.

COLUMN
FOR THE VOICE OF THE
PEOPLE

Mr.. Ed M. Anderson, Editor,
Skyland Post,
West Jefferson, N. G.
Dear Mr.. Anderson:
have noted with a great deal
of interest your recent efforts to
work with the civic organizations,
the county government n d
through the columns of your
newspaper toward getting voca-
tional agricultural training es-
tablished in the schools of Ashe
county.
I want to assure you that this
movement has my whole-hearted
support and will be glad to lend
any assistance possible toward
getting this program started prior
to the beginning of the next school
year. I have been thoroughly
convinced of the necessity of CIV
ing vocational training in our
schools for several years.
For the past eight years I have
worked for the Farm Security
Administration in the United
States Department of Agriculture
and I have worked over a large
section of North Carolina. My
observation has been that school
communities having a we'll Or
gained vocational agricultural
department have made decidedly
more progress in agriculture than
those communities that do not
have vocational agriculture. Sure
ly our youth should have an OPP
portunity to learn to do we'll the
job in which most of them will be
engaged for a livelihood. Ashe
county parents should appreciate
your efforts on behalf of their
children.
Very truly yours,
w. B. OLIVER

Breaking War Rules

Most of the people who violate war
time regulations do it without giving much
thought to it.
When a woman buys a couple of pounds
of meat at black market it is difficult for
her to believe that that small purchase will
seriously affect the rest of the nation. But
if every woman did the same thing, it is
easy to see how all efforts to control food
distribution and food prices would be
destroyed.
In the same way, in gasoline rationed
states, if family drives few miles to the
movies or to make visit, it doesn't seem
that the half gallon of gasoline used is 60
ing to affect the operations of our air fore
es in Europe or Africa. But it is just as
clear that if all families used few extra
gallons week, millions of gallons of gaso-
line which might have gone to our fighting
forces would be lost.
With all war regulations, the best way
to think about them, before considering
violation, is to picture what would happen
if everyone broke the rules in the same
way.

present Jefferson Cash store of
DR.. FISHERMAN, and on the morn

fell from the top of Negro Noun

quarter of mile. The main mass
of this rock, almost intact, is still
visible, with a small tree grow
ing on it, while large trees have
since grown in the ravine left by

Theories Don't Change
Facts

The farm situation is number one do
nestle problem, for after all everyone has
to eat. The draft rulings have at last Of
ficially recognized this fact The question
now is how much damage has been caused
by delayed decisions, that cannot be cor
rected this season.
To get increased milk production, once
the supply has been depleted, requires sew
eral years. Cows must be MIXED and fed
regularly, and anything that lnterferes
with that as has been the case for some
months past, depletes supply, or prevents
an increase.
Farm wages have increased until they
are prohibitive on most small farms where
a major part of the milk comes from. All
the theorizing in the world and planning
from swivel chairs will not change these
facts.

Naugatuck, Oct. III registration
in evening school classes does not
increase by the end Of this week
there is a possibility Of reducing the
teaching personnel. At present
there are five teachers for no Eng
lish speaking classes, but registra-
tor is light and It may be neces-
sary to drop one teacher, Supt. Of
Schools Harold E. Chittenden said.
1t is believed some who wished
to attend the classes, but were pre-
vented this week by their working
hours may be changed to other
shifts in the near future to permit
them to attend.
There are two instructors for the
high school commercial night school
classes, but whether this number
will be retained depends upon fu-
ture registration. Mr.. Chittenden
plans to continue with the present
personnel until the end of next
