separate commission composed Of
sportsmen to take over existing
facilities for propagating and con-

WHEREAS, the people of Ashe

greatest prosperity in their his

than in any previous period and
real estate bringing high prices;
and
WHEREAS, the present levy

Active Participation

The word democracy" is used so often
that to many people it has become almost
meaningless But it is not the definition of
democracy that is significant It is its
work-ability which should concern us ALL
The administering of democracy is not
something which goes on behind closed
doors. Everybody is supposed to partici-
pate in this form of government.
So many people, who complain of not
knowing what is going on in Washington
don't try to find out They make luke
warm effort to understand the various
bills under consideration and then give up
saying: what think wouldn't bear weight
anyway In this thought is the downfall
of the democratic form of government
No matter what ones conception of de-
mocracy may be one thing is sure: it is bas-
ed on the foundation that the individual is
important and should have right to ex-
press an opinion in matters of government.
Among the rank and file of Americans
there are very few who take time to write
to their congressman when they want to
object or approve legislation. Furthermore,
there are many who do not even know the
name of their congressman.

Let's Go Over The Top

Ashe county has made good start on
the Infantile Paralysis Fund Drive, but is
still far below Ms quota Let's make a
special effort to. reach this before the drive
officially ends next Thursday February IS.
Many have contributed literally but
there are many who have not made con-
tribution yet. The need is urgent and the
cause is something we are all familiar with.
Plan to give a little something extra dur
ing the closing days Of the drive.
Last summer, when number of Ashe
county children were stricken with the
disease, the Foundation spent thousands of
dollars treating them. Shouldn't this,
alone, be an incentive to raise our quota?
Contributions will be received by this
paper, T. E, Parker, county chairman of
the drive and Miss Ruth Tugman, welfare
superintendent.

Letter From Maast1.icht

The kind of response which should
make Americans realize how much it
means to the rest of the world to have our
boys helping to win the war, was recently
received by the New York Times in
letter from all the people of Maastricht-
town in the Netherlands recently iberat-
ed by the American army.
In that letter, which was addressed to
the people of the United States, the inhabi-
tants of Maastricht told of their desperate
life under German rule and their joy over
being free again. They said:
"The pleasant smile of your boys has
stolen our hearts. Their laughing faces,
their vigorous and brave appearance, their
kind-heartedness and especially their
simplicity, have told us that these sons of
the great American republic bear true de-
mocracy in their hearts and that the world
may be glad that the United States has in
terested itself in behalf of our country and
of Europe"
Any mother, whose boy is fighting in
Europe, should feel genuine pride in this
testimony of the part he is playing as an
ambassador of good will in building adj
miration and respect for our country and
our people.

Congratulations

This paper congratulates The Transyl-
vania Times and every member of the
staff on winning first place for general
excellence among the larger weekly papers
of North Carolina in a contest conducted
by the North Carolina Press Association.
The presentation of the award was by
Governor R. Gregg Cherry at the annual
banquet held at Duke University at the
closing session of the N. c. P. A. Institute.
This is the second time this award has
gone to The Times, which has also won ma
tional recognition for excellence. 1t is in
deed an excellent paper and we add our
congratulations to the many others.
Happily, The Times is not only out
standing from the standpoint of appearance
and content, but does an excellent job in
community service. It is paper Brevard
and Transylyania county can be justly
proud of.

snow the Boy Scouts of America comes
forward with positive program for en-
phasizing the world brotherhood of Scout
ing. 1t is the youth of the world who must
share and maintain the peace now being
purchased so dearly on the battle fronts.
I am convinced that Boy Scouts and Clubs,
as well as senior groups, through their NUT

and mutual respect will be among the lead
ers in the promoting of comradeship among
the democratic people of the earth"
Friendship is basis of our Scout ideals

Protect Dogs

We never could quite ~see why dog
should be subject to capital punishment
for not wearing license. But in thousands
of towns it is common practice to take an
unlicensed dog to the pound and execute
him if his owner dosen't interfere
Much better, we think is plan recently
suggested for licensing dog owners rather
than the dogs themselves. And, instead of
of merely license available to anyone who
wants one, it might be humane to issue
them only to those people who could prove
that they could provide comfortable home
for dog. In addition licenses could be
taken away from those who treated dog
cruelty.
1t is our opinion that many dogs are
better citizens than their masters. We
would like to see turnabout of dog and
mans legal relationship whereby the own
er would be the responsible party and the
dogs sole concern would be over wearing
his masters license plate.

A Salute TO Boy Scouts

Today, on the 35th anniversary of the
beginning Of the Boy Scout movement, we
pause to salute scouts as well as their lead
ers The youthsof today will be the leaders
of tomorrow Theirs will be the task to keep
the peace we are@fighting for. With this
in mind we are particularly impressed with
the theme of the observance of Boy Scout
Week, this year, - "Scouts of the World
Brothers Together"
President Roosevelt, honorary president
of the Boy Scouts of America sends mes
sage to them in keeping with this, that
we are repeating here.
.tsrsatIp2sh he
To The Boy Scouts Of America:
"Your theme for your Thirty fifth An
niversary gives me great satisfaction. For
many yearsathe Boy Scout Movement has
been real force among the democratic
countries in helping to promote better un-
Outstanding among the nations and in
ternational good will"
sAt the time of our National Jamboree
in 1887 was happy to note the many
Scouts from across the seas who came to
camp with the Boy Scouts of America and
learn more of our way of life. At the
world Scout Jamborees Scouts from free
dom loving nations lived together, found
common interests and ideals, and formed
friendships of lasting value to themselves

Over the week end, however, news
papermen were told that they had
decided to make it available to the
press just as soon as Lord Keynes
had finished his exposition. This
will enable the public and particu-
larry Congress, to judge the neces-
sity of Britain's obtaining from
$3,000,0o0,0O0 to $4,000, 10000 from
this country to reorganize its post
war economy.
Meanwhile, due to the fact that
it may require some months to ne
gotiate a long-term agreement and
push it through Congress, it is
understood that the British may
obtain, as temporary expedient, an
interim loan at 2as per cent interest.
This advance would be in the mil
lions rather than billions and would
be designed only to keep essential
supplies of food and raw materials
moving into Britain, pending major
arrangements.
