producing food for victory through
the All clubs of which they are
members.
There are 10 organized All
clubs in Ashe county with an en-
rollment of 431 girls and 314 boys,
or a total of 745 members, with an
active club in every high school in
the county as well as several of
the smaller schools.
Producing and conserving for
Victory is the aim of all All clubs
CHS year. Ashe students made an
excellent record in this, last year,
and are expected to do even more
this year, judging from plans.
Last year the All club members
IN tie United States produced
enough food. to feed 100000 men
I'm the armed forces. This years
goal is to exceed that figure.
An of the All club members of
the county are planning to make
some money from their projects
by producing more than will be
nesded for home use and selling
the surplus to help relieve the
food situation, reports reveal.

BLAIRS- Mr.. and Mrs. j. S.
Blair-he's the superintendent of
Bladen County schools and she is
even more prominent in PTA and
other circles are wholehearted
supporters of DR.. Mcdonald. They
should do the doctor a great deal
of good. However, Raleigh ru-
mors are to the effect that the
Bladen County Board of Educa-
ton does not look favorably on
their advocacy of DR.. Mcdonald.
One can hear anything these days,
though.

eridge, a real smoothie when it
comes to helping North Carolina,
more folks market their products.
Although Randall B. Etheridge is
not as we'll known as R. Bruce
Etheridge, head of the State Board
of Conservation and Development,
the service he renders the State is
equally as great as that of his Dare
County kinsman.

This column has been absent
from the paper for some several
weeks and a few of the readers
have been kind enough to say
they have missed it. We have
missed writing it. But pressure
of work with an acute sinus has
kept the writer from doing sew
eral things she might have done,
otherwise.
Since this is the graduation edi-
ton, we feel that this column, like
the rest of the paper, should be
dedicated to the graduates or
perhaps to former graduates.
A Big Undertaking
We were talking about gradua-
ton to Juanita Weaver, a popu-
lar member of the graduating
class of West Jefferson high
school, and she admits that it will
be sad and solemn occasion for
her and will probably bring forth
tears. Juanita is not only a good
student, but is a good housekeep-
err, as we'll. She tells this story
about herself so the writer feels
safe in repeating it. Her mother
has been away for quite awhile
and Juanita has done most of the
cooking. The other night they
had guests, including Rev. John
S. Jordan. But what do you
think? Before the evening was
over, the undertaken called for
Mr.. Jordan! He is still very
much alive, however.
Miss Gambill in Miss.
A former graduate that we con-
slider one of our best friends is
Miss Lenna Gambill, who is now
social service worker with the
Red Cross and is located with the
Station Hospital at Camp Nc
Cain, Miss. We know she is rem
dering a real service there in
Mississippi, but we miss her in
Ashe county!
She writes most interesting
letter about her work there, as
we'll as the low swamp country,
which must be a far call from
these hills of Ashe.
Navy Lends A Hand!
The U. S. Navy has a habit Of
putting things over, even millions
of men into Europe. We had
some first-hand assistance from
them last week. We were short
of man to run the folder on
press day and who should come to
our rescue but Roy Poe. Roy, a
graduate of West Jefferson high
school, was employed at The Sky
land Post before entering the ma
Wy. He is now a First Class Phar-
macist's Mate and is in the pho
tographic department, stationed in
Washington, at the present,
Thanks, and the best of luck, Roy.
Medals To Howard Sexton
Many of the readers have en-
joyed letters of Howard Sexton,
of Grassy Creek, and a graduate
of Virginia Carolina. Some of
them have been published in this
paper. Howard, who is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. r. Sexton, of
Grassy Creek, has been overseas
for some time, in the midst of ac-
ton, too.
Kenneth L. Dixon, an Associa-
ted Press correspondent, recently
wrote. the following from Anzio
Beachhead: "Pvt. Howard Sex
ton, of Mouth of Wilson, Va,
probably knows the names and
addresses of more heroes on the
beachhead than any other guy,
and yet he has met almost none of
them.
"He does lot of paper work in
a division command post. It's
thankless task, yet helps make it

SPREAD-Bill Sharpe, director
of the State News Bureau, would
walk from here to Chicago bare
footed (and probably on tiptoe) If
the Democrats would nominate
Governor J. M. Broughton Vice
President at the convention to be
held there next summer.
Sharpe is doing everything in
his power toward that end. John
Himmer, one of the outstanding
photographers of the country, is
now working with the State News
Bureau, and he has made some
very nice shots of the governor
within the past month. Himmer
has some influence with the photo
graphy editors of several publica-
tons. He will be sent up to New
York pretty soon now in an effort
to persuade at least one big maya
zine to carry a spread on Cover
nor Broughton.
Since Bill Rowland, who used
to be managing editor of the Win
ston-Salem Journal, is now South
ern representative for Life and
Time, he might be of some help
with the Luce publications Life,
Tipoo Fortuna architectural For
UNI. Rowland knows Broughton
we'll.

MT. LAKE PARK

From the day on which she tips
the scales at 40 the chief excitement
of a woman's life consists in spotting
women who are fatter than she is"
Here's hoping none of our read
ers will resent this quotation. It's
really necessary to our story. The
source-The Readers Digest-not a
late number-far from it, but from
the charter number of February,
1922. When the call came from the
Red Cross and other organizations for
certain magazines, Readers Digest
was particularly requested. Perhaps
due to the small size or as the first
volume was called "The Little Maya
zine"
It's taking long time to get to our
point, which is; DR.. W. B. Love do
mated about 200 copies of the Digest,
keeping only his charter number. In
twenty years he has never missed a
copy. Twelve years ago Lila Bell Ache
son, the publisher and owner, adver-
tised for several back numbers for
their files. DR.. Love sent the copies re-
quested. Except the charter number
and those sent the publisher, all were
given to Red Cross for our fighting
men.
The current numbers are very differ
cnt in makeup from the original, and
our quotation was the opening of the
then new Little Magazine, and came
under the caption, Remarkable Re
marks. Only 81 articles per month We're
published.
Dr. Love is justly proud of his old
copy, and well may he he for our un-
Outstanding is there are but few copies
existing And it is rather d record to
have owned every issue of the Digest
The old ones seemed to be just as in
teresting, perhaps a little more so, as
the current issues.

Three Escape
in House Fire
Three Flee Home
in kightelothes

VAN DYKE-An elderly man,
his wife and son, escaped I'M
harmed early Wednesday morn
ing when fire caused from an
overheated furnace, broke out
in their home at 1921 East
Nine Mile road, Van Dyke.
At 7 a. m, Thomas Ecclesine
a poultry and egg dealer, went
TO the kitchen TO heat some milk,
according TO Capt. Chester Ska
rupski, of the Warren township
fire department. Ecclesine then
went into the living room TO get
warm, when smoke from the hot
air registers swept through the
house. So swiftly did the fire
spread that he only had time to
pick up the telephone; warn his
wife and son, who escaped in
their pajamas, and run outside.
Warren township firemen
had the blaze under control a
half hour after they arrived, but
needed three hours to put the
fire out. The entire inside of the
two story, nine room house burn
ed, Skarupski said, and about
$4,000 damage was done to the
home valued at $4,000. Skarup-
ski stated that the son went
down in the basement at 2 a. m.
to build up the fire, and left all
the furnace drafts opened.

ST. CLAIR SHORES-Dressed
in his traditional garb, Santa
Claus spread cheer and JOY and
presented gifts to approximately
400 children Christmas Eve in
the Shores.
Old Saint Nick came down in
his sleigh, but it was pulled by
a horse instead of reindeer, be-
cause all of his reindeer were
sick, according to Santa Vic
Glance, of the st. Clair Shores
Chamber of Commerce, which
sponsored the annual Christmas
party on the lawn in front Of the
municipal building at Eleven
Mile and jefferson avenue.
AS Santa passed out bags of
candy, fruit and nuts TO the chill
dren, magician Bill Smith of the
Chamber of Commerce pulled
candy out of his hat, and gave it
to all the smaller children. The
Boys Municipal Band played
Christmas music, and the st.
Clair Shores Twirling Cadets,
lead the singing, and read
Christmas verses. Y
During the party, John zoe,
master Of ceremonies, introduced
village prcsident-elect Bob Har-
rison, who wished the crowd
Merry Christmas, and expressed
the hope that all the boys now
at the fronts would be back next
year. West Wright, president Of
the Shores Chamber of Com
merce was also presented, and
expressed the feeling that the
children should have a good
Christmas.
The party, which is usually
held by the village and the
GoodfelloWs Old News Boy s,
was held this year by the Cham
Der of Commerce, because of the
lack of help. The special COM
mittee which arranged the event
was made up of John zoe, chair
man, West Wright, Bill Smith,
