Limitation On
Canning Sugar

There are still a few applicants
in the county who have applied
to this office for canning sugar
that seemed to have missed some
of the more important parts in
preparing their applications, it
was explained, yesterday, by
Ralph Campbell, clerk Of the 10
cal board. First, regulations es-
tablish a ceiling on canning SUI
gar of fifteen (15) pounds per
person in addition to the ten (10)
pounds obtained on your war ra-
ton book one. Therefore, if you
find that your canning sugar al
lotment, when returned to you
from this office, is not the amount
you asked for, it will be due to
the above reason" Mr.. Campbell
said.
Don't forget to submit your
stamped, self-addressed envelope,
both in requesting application
form and when returning appli-
cation for allotment he added.

Allies Newest Weapon

The fact that radio wave "bounces"
may have a lot to do with our winning the
war;
That's why we are hearing so much
these days about our remarkable new
weapon known as Radar.
Actually Radar isn't new discovery,
but it has been perfected and put to prac-
teal use since the war started 1t was first
worked out, according to the Navy depart
ment, back in 1882 by an engineer named
L. A. Hyland, who is now with the Bendlx
Aviation corporation.
Before the ill-fated dirigible Akron was
lost, Mr. Hyland parked truck-load of
experimental apparatus on Virginia farm
and tested out his theory about bouncing
radio waves. He shot radio waves out at
the Akron, which was at sea miles away,
and the waves came back to him.
Going on from there, equipment was
worked out by which our navy and coast
guard can now detect any airplane while
it is still miles away and know the speed
at which the plane is flying and the direc-
ton IL is gong.
Because of Radar there can be no sneak
attacks on our coast or on our ships. We
have the invision weapon of radio waves
working on our side, searching the skies for
enemy planes and sending instant reports
to our forces Because of Radar we know
that, when any kind of attack comes from
the air. we can shoot first.

Owners OfTrucks
Must File Reports

Fleet owners are required to
file during July, the second 1943
quarterly report on operations,
William D. Lewis, District Man
ager of ODT's Division of Motor
Transport, said today.
Mr.. Lewis pointed out that
Certificates of War Necessity, is
sued last fall to all commercial
operators, require vehicle owners
to keep mileage and operating
records. Those owning one or
two vehicles, he said, keep their
records on the certificates, while
owners of three or more vehicles,
who are classed as fleet operators,
also keep records on the certifi-
Gates but are required in addition
to turn in their reports quarterly
on forms supplied them by ODT.
Failure to file a report, Mr..
Lewis said, jeopardizes the GER
tificate and subjects the owner
to possible reduction in gasoline
or mileage allowances for his We
hicles.
The quarterly report now due
is for the months of April, May
and June.

Our Cemeteries

There is something about neglected
cemetery that leads the casual observer to
believe that the dead have been forgotten.
In most cases, however, this is not true,
but merely an oversight on the part of rel
atives and friends.
We have noticed recently that various
communities and families in Ashe and Al
leghany have been setting aside special
days for cleaning up and identifying ceme-
teries. This is a splendid idea which we
believe should always be carried on.
One of the most impressive sights of
it's kind we have witnessed is the Salem
Moravian cemetery on Easter Morn, when
all of the gravestones have been polished
and the graves decorated with flowers.
Here in West Jefferson, the town board
has made many general improvements in
the local cemetery, but it is up to indivi-
duals to give their plots some individual
attention. The moving of unsightly grass
and weeds would greatly improve many
plots.

Preservation OF Wildlife

Americans discovered years ago the i'm
portance of the preservation OF Wlldllte.
But even if the average individual is in
terested in this, his single efforts in its be-
half are usually not very effective. But
get a group or live organization behind
such a movement and desired results are
usually achieved
We were reminded of this recently by
Horton Doughton, member of the North
Carolina Board of Conservation and De-
velopment, at the organization meeting OF
the Ashe Sportsmen's Club With the ex-
ception of Alleghanys and Ashes clubs
we understand there are a few others IN
the state But only small percentage OF
the counties have such organizations.
Some of North Cardinals hundred
counties are more richly endowed by ma
ture than others in their proportion OF
game and fish, but we believe it would be
a benefit to all of them to encourage and
develop what they have in the way OF
wildlife. Why not organize more Of these
clubs? If every county in the state had
one. think what it would mean to North
Carolina as a whole.

Specialists

One barrier to having harmony and I'M
derstanding between all types of people in
our country is the fact that we are all spe-
cialists and don't give much thought to the
specialties of others.
The farmer, for example, is vitality in
terested in legislation and regulations
which affect farming, but he is not great
ly concerned over what the government is
doing to help solve the problems of the la
boring man or of the business man. The
laborer, on the other hand, doesn't care
too much what is done about the farmer
so long as it doesn't raise the price of the
food he buys.
The business man is interested in the
problems of the farmer and the laborer to
the extent that solutions to their problems
affect his prices and his supplies, but in
most cases he doesn't bother to analyze
their difficulties from their standpoint.
All of us have our own type of problems
and can't expect too much sympathy from
other groups who don't understand them.

Businessmen And Postwar
Industry

Recently, tn ere appeared in the
New York Times a letter to the editor,
written by James c. Macdonald, now adj
visor on public relations to the Blue Net
work, who has also been chairman of the
board of the Foreign Policy Association,
high commissioner for refugees from Ger
many member of the editorial staff Of the
N Y Times, president of the Brooklyn In
stitute, chairman of the Presidents Advi-
sorry Committee on Political Refugees, and
member Of the Board of Education of New
York The contents Of this letter, which
in part appears below should be known to
all Americans:
ITO an extent which will surprise many
people, American business is farsightedly
and courageously planning to meet its post
war problems. The changeover to peace
time economy will involve problems more
vast and intricate and difficult than those
solved so brilliantly during the transition
to an about war economy
1.-THE task that American business is
preparing to meet when the firing ceases
will be COLOSSAL AS many as fifty-six mil
lion peacetime jobs may be needed for the
men and women who will be released from
wartime industry and from the armed ser
vices. To convert our factories and SER
vices back to normal purposes and stimuli
taneously to develop level of production
high enough to absorb this number is
challenge If it is not met successfully we
may see here economic and social disturb
ances SO serious as to impair or perhaps
destroy our country's ability to play
worthy role abroad
''The National Association of Manufac-
turers leadership in postwar planning can
be roughly divided into two parts it's I'M
wavering insistence on what it believes to
be sound economic and political policies
essential to success in readjustments of bu-
siness to peacetime footing, and the sup
port it gives to the planning which is being
done by individual establishments. In ad-
dition to fighting for those principles
which it considers are basic to the main
tenance of the free-enterprise system, the
NAM is aiding individual business con-
Germs to prepare for the postwar period :.
Through it's Postwar Problems Com
mittee the NAM is continuing it's studies
Of rehabilitation and postwar employ
ment. In March of this year the committee
published report entitled Jobs, Freedom,
Opportunity in the Postwar Years. This
outline is the MANS ideas on the nature
of the postwar problem and on domestic
and external requirements for prosperity.
In general it is reaffirmation of the prin-
ciples for which the NAM has consistently
stood"

NAVY WIFE

Can you sit home nights awaiting
Until the war is won?
Can you offer him forgiveness
For everything he's done?
Can you stand the nny-pinching
That you're always forced to
do?
Can you watch 'em in their new
clothes
Let your old oncs pull you
through?
Can you take a meat-shop special
And cook it eighteen ways?
And use the nights to keep the
house
And work throughout the days?
Can you stand the months of
waiting
Until his sweet return?
Can you stretch a hundred dol
lars
From the sixty that he earns?
Can you alter regulations
To look like tailor-made?
Laugh at all his ancient joking
And liberties he's made?
Can you darn his worn out stock
ings,
And patch and sew and mend?
Can you save the extra money
That he doesn't even send?
Can you have a dress for Sunday
And wear it every day?
Can you stand civilian gossip
And everything they say?
Can you do your own hair-wav-
ing
And beauty-treat yourself?
Can you get along with nothing
All desires on the shelf?
Can you 'mire others jewelry
And have none of your own?
Watch the others eating beef
steak
And gnaw that meatless bone?
Can you stop and make him cof-
fee
A dozen times a day?
Can you always say you're ready
When he thinks it's time to
play?
Can you write daily letter,
And fill it full of love?
Make him think he's just your
A gift from God above?
Can you smile through tears anc
heartache?
And trust him all your life?
If you can, you're recommended
To be a sailors wife!

Heavy Hog Shipments

AS winter hog marketing reached
record proportions to tax packer
facilities last week, business closed
with large lots of unsold animals left
in farmers hands. AS result of
the congestion, prices slunped, with
only 200 to 270 pound government
weights commanding the $13.75
floor in Chicago.
At the peak of the flood, it was
estimated that farmers held 100000
head valued at So. 900, 900 at markets
after bidding closed for the day. In
Chicago, almost Is, 900 hogs went I'M
sold, even though packers have ca
pacity for $4,000 daily.

congestion in the yards.

RECEIVERSHIP:
Longest RI Case

The nations railroads have sue
ceeded in moving practically all of
this years wheat crop from farms
to elevators and terminal markets,
despite the tremendous burden on
rolling stock. In particular, all
grain in danger of spelling has been
hauled to safe storage.
A large number of freight cars is
being concentrated at Buffalo, NJ Y,
Toledo, Ohio, and other ports in that
area to handle the wheat coming in
by boat. 1t is estimated that 40 mill
lion bushels will have been shipped
by water on the Great Lakes be-
tween October ! and the close Of
navigation. the end Of December.

AGRICULTURE:
1914 Outlook

Because supplies Of inedible tai
low, grease and imported cocoanut
and palm oil will not be sufficient
to meet soap-makers' needs, they
will receive large share of the $50
million pound increase in lard pro-
duction in 1914, the department Of
agriculture said. Coupled with
boosts in soybean and Inseed oil
output, U. S. fats and oil stocks
should be one billion pounds over
1913.
Although feed disappearance per
animal in 1943-'44 should not exceed
the 1874 average, the department
said, almost half Of total wheat pro-
duction will be used for feeding, with
imports from Canada bolstering
dwindling stocks.
Based upon meat production goals,
the number of sows for narrowing
next spring should approximate TO-
1926, 900, the department said, COM
pared with IL, 40, 900 this year. Next
fall, it is estimated 6,898, 600 sows
will farrow against 8,515,000 for the
season in 1913.
