More 'E' Bonds Needed

With only few more days left for the
Fifth War Loan Drive, Ashe county is still
around $2S,OOOOO short of the "E" bond
quota. Let's put forth an extra effort this
week and see if we can't raise our quota
If you have been planning to buy bond
and have just been putting it off, do so to-
day. And if you have already bought all
of the bonds you thought you could buy
just one more.
There are hundreds of Ashe county men
fighting on the ebattlefronts of the world
today, who aresnot stopping after they
have accomplished one feat. They are
fighting on and on in spite of wounds and
hardships. Let's cheer them up by sending
them the news that Ashe county was among
those that raised it's "E" bond quota Let's
go "over the top" by Saturday!

Safety Week Is
Being Observed

Farmers of the New River soil
conservation district are joining
the rest of the nation in cam
paign against farm accidents,
one of the worst enemies of war
time production, by observing
this week as Farm Safety Week,
according to j. T. McLaurin, of the
soil conservation service.
Farming is one of the most
hazardous occupations, McLaurin
pointed out. Unlike other indus
tries, which has greatly, reduced
the accident rate by concerted eff
fort during recent years, the acct
dent rate on farms has remained
consistently high.
'The reduction of farm acct
dents is especially important dur
ing wartime" McLaurin contin,
ued. President Roosevelt point
ed out in his proclamation or
National Farm Safety Week, the
nation is dependent upon the
skill and labor of its farmers ir
the gigantic task of waging war y
The loss of time from farm ac-
cidents in 1913 has been estimated
by the National Safety Council
to be double the amount of labor
necessary to produce the annual
wheat crop of the United States
It represents the equivalent OF
manpower to produce for each
person in the United States, 16
bushels of corn, or 313 pounds of
pork, or 2O2 pounds of beef.
This does not take into account
the personal suffering brought
about by the 10000 deaths and e.
100000 injuries to farmers, their
families and hired help in 1943,
as a result of farm accidents, Nc
Laurin points out.

Give To The Infantile
Paralysis Fund

A plea has come to Ashe county to raise
some emergency funds to help in the fight
against infantile paralysis being carried on
at the treatment center in Hickory.
In letter to this paper, the Mayor OF
Hickory concludes with the following:
"Much remains to be done until this cpl
demic is controlled, the cost of operation
and maintenance will continue to mount.
Nav I, therefore, urge your thoughtful con-
sideration of my appeal, your sympathetic
interest and your generous support OF this
worthy cause"
We believe the people will respond
readily to this drive. Here is cause which
deserves the support Of every Ashe county
citizen; for it is to be used directly to aid
in the fight against this present epidemic
and the disqualification of children now
being carried on. Ashe county has around
Is patients at the treatement center in
Hickory. #..#
When the patients are accepted there;
no question is asked whether or not they
are able to pay We are told on good autho-
rity that contributions are accepted from
those who are able to pay, but those who
are not, receive the same treatment. No
payments are accepted from children of
men in service according to information
received here.
Because they are being treated there,
the lives of many children are being saved,
and they will be made to walk again. It
takes money to carry on the work at the
treatment center$eAround 80 of the 100
