Reflect Ashe
County Teachers
Raymond Francis To Serve AS
Principal At .Nathan's
Creek School

Practically all of the teachers
and principals of Ashe county
schools have been reelected and,
in compliance with the state law,
they are expected to notify Supt.
A. B. Hurt, of their acceptance
within 10 days from the time
of election.
Mr.. Hurt said all of the princi-
pals of the central high schools
have been reelected. Raymond
Francis, who was appointed as
acting principal of the Nathan's
Creek school about a month be-
fore the term ended, has been
chosen to head the school next
hgear.
Z At Lansing, Joseph Martin re-
signed after his acceptance in the
Navy. Due to changes in selec-
tive service regulations, however,
he has not entered service as yet.
In event he enters service, it is
not known who would be elected
to fill his place. It is rumored,
though, that Prof. Davis would
get the call.

Allies Are Crushing
German Lines Today
On Italian Fronts
Big Aerial Blitz Of Europe Is
Continued; Chinese Launch
First Drive

With the view Of destroying the
German armies IN Italy and NOV
ing into Rome, the allied fifth and
eighth armies launched a renewed
surprise offensive last Thursday
and during the past week the
American, British and French for
ces have made splendid progress
Their smashing attacks, aided
by superiority in the air and from
the seacoast, have already crushed
the 25-mile German Gustav line,
and have enabled them to advance
as for as eight miles in one sector
They have captured at least q
dozen towns and are outflanking
the enemy's entire defense system
guarding the important city OF
Casino and the mouth of the Liri
valley leading to Rome.
Meanwhile, American and Brit
ish bombers have continued with
day and night assaults on Hitler's
occupied Europe. There was a
slight lull Tuesday in the bombing
operations because of bad weather
but the devastating attack has
been renewed and the great aerial
blitz is now being carried into the
34th. day of continuous operation.
At the same time, it is antici-
pated that the big second front
push may be launched at any
moment. In Russia, the Reds are
massing gigantic army with the
possible objective of striking at
the same time the second front is
opened.
In the Pacific theatre, the Chin
csc have started their first real
offensive against the Japs in Z
years of war. More than 10000
Chinese troops have plunged a.

points. The objective is to unite

Abandoned Car Is
Found Minus Its
Tires, Bumpers

Thieves not only stole a car
and took a trip in it, but before
deserving the vehicle they
stripped everything they could
possibly get off of it, according
to a report of Deputy Sheriff
Carl GRAPHICAL.
Last Sunday an abandoned
Chevrolet sedan was found
near the Parkway at Glendale
Springs. The tires, radio, radio
aerial, and even the bumpers
had been removed.
A check-up revealed that the
car belonged to a man living in
Roanoke, Va. No trace of the
guilty party or parties has been
found.

Resolution Is
Passed AT Meet
On Monday Night
Increased Pay Received Fol
Grade "a" Milk Cited;
Floyd Makes Talk
COST is NOT GREAT

A movement to increase the
production of grade "A" milk in
Ashe county was started at a
meeting of farm leaders, business
and professional men and dairy
men held Monday night.
It was pointed out that Ashe is
the leading dairy county in North
Carolina and that it should pro-
duce more grade "a" milk.
Of the 1900 farmers in the
county who produce and sell
milk, only three of them have
grade "A". diaries.
John Floyd, of the North Caro-
lima Health department, explain
ed that farmer with four OF
more cows could easily 60 into
grade GAP production at a cost OF
from $500 to $1,000.
Wade Eller, sanitarian, pointed
out that the difference in the
price paid for grade "a" milk and
ungraded milk would more than
justify the expenditure.
It was also emphasized that the
income from dairying in this coun-
ty could be greatly increased by
improvement in herds and by
raising of more and better feeds
At the conclusion of the meet
ing, the following resolution was
passed:
eve, the undersigned citizens
of Ashe county, are reliably in
formed that milk is the principal
agricultural product of our coun-
ty and that nearly 1000 farms in
the county are producing milk
for sale. Last year, this county
produced more milk and had
more producers of milk than any
other county in the state of North
Carolina.

Plans are now underway for
the organization of "a tri-county

vided the necessary funds can be

J. c. Pierce, of Grassy Creek,
J. w. Gambill West Jefferson,

tact interested farmers at once in
order to sell stock and raise mon
ey for the proposed cooperative.
There is to be a meeting of all
stockholders in the courthouse on
Tuesday night, May %, at 8 O.
clock, when directors will be
named. These will meet at In
dependence, Va, on the following
Wednesday night, with the direc-

Anticipate Cain
Of Approximately
100000 This Yr.
Total Valuation For Taxation
Purposes Expected To
Exceed $4,5OO,OOO.
RATE MAY BE SAME

Valuation of property in Ashe
county for taxation purposes is
expected to show an increase this
year over 1913 of at least $780,
600, according to an estimate made
yesterday:
Final tabulations of the listers
reports from the 10 townships in
the county have not been COM
pleted by H. H. Burgess, tax SUI
pervisor, but recap figures COM
pleted to date show that the in
crease in most of the townships
ranges from $4,000 to over $751;
900.
Reports from all townships ex-
cept Peak Creek have been re-
ceived and final tabulations will
be completed Immediately in or
der that a budget estimate may
be drafted next month.
The county's total valuation for
1943 was $4,36e,2aa, The valua-
ton this year will be in excess Of
$4,5o0,000,
An inspection of township re-
ports also shows that there are
more cattle in the county today
than ever before.
AS a result of the increased val
uation, it is rather obvious that
there will be no increase in the
tax rate for the forthcoming fis-
cal year.
