Summer Vitanins For
Winter

In the buttermaking process nature
helps man store an abundant supply of
vitamin A for winter use. This is shown
by tests reported by Louise Skinner, chem
list at the Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station at Wooster.
Ever since World War !, the value of
butter as natural source of vitamin A, so
important in maintaining healthy condi-
ton Of the eyes, has been understood.
Studies are now being completed to deter
mine how much vitamin A is supplied by
butter, states the National Dairy Council.
These Ohio tests indicate that butter
produced in the late spring and summer
months contains a great deal more than
5000 units of vitamin A., the value once be-
1ieved to be the average for butter. They
further indicated that butter may be stored
for as much as a year at the usual storage
temperatures, with no loss Of vitamin A
and very little loss of the yellow carotene
which the body transforms into vitamin A.

Hail, :,l945 Graduates

History again repeats itself, graduation
time is here again and again graduates are
confronted with the problems of the world
as well as their own individual aspirations
and ambitions. Never before have gradu
ates been presented with such an unlimited
opportunity for service.
Many of the 1915 Ashe high school grad
yates will soon enter the armed forces to
fight for liberty and democracy that we
may have victory and continue with the
American way of life. This means that
most of the planned careers of these stu
dents must be delayed, but without victory
there can be no individual careers as we
know them in America. And in one sense
of the word, military training is continu
alton of education, more so than ever be-
FORE In addition to the actual technical
knowledge gained, out of military training,
grow many admirable qualities. Courage,
response to authority, sublimation of per-
sonal interest to commanding cause are
some of the desired qualities that come out
of it. Many young men are gaining techni-
cal knowledge which they expect to use in
career after the war For them, military
training is definite school,
Other students will enter some kind of
war work and those who take their places
on the homefront or are able to secure
further training in college will all feel the
imprint of the war. It's responsibility and
importance will be keenly felt by all and
all are certain to have a part in the victory.
1915 graduates are to be highly congrat-
ulated, not only for the work they have
completed, but for the interest and enthusi-
asm they have already shown and are GER
tain to continue to show in the winning of
the war. Your graduation is an achieve
ment and an inspiration to others. Your
commencement this year should really be
the beginning of broader fields of service
for you. 2'' 49,.
Parents, teachers, school officials and
every taxpayer that has made the excellent
schools of Ashe county possible, as well 6
your graduation, are to be congratulated;
for they have had part in it.
We dedicate this issue of this paper to
you and present picture of the county
school system to the readers in the interest
of educational progress; for without educa-
ton there can, be no progress. To every
individual, who has helped to make this
edition possible, we extend our apprecia-
ton Particularly derive appreciate the CO.
operation and splendid response of the ad-
vertisers In each advertisement is worth
while message to graduates. Their interest
in you and the school system of the county
is true indication of their progressiveness.
Like everyone else, this paper is wish
ing you full measure of success. And it is
well to remember that much of the success
attained comes n i6t from talent alone, but
from concentration and perseverance. With
this in mind and ihstke face of the present
situation we believe that each of you will
carry on the very best you can to help to
build better world for the future.

Beef Is Not Rationed
In Wrestling Show

Beef is on the rationed list every
where, but at Turner's Arena, where
there will be exactly 800 pounds of
it in the ring Wednesday night when
Blimp Levy meets the Swedish An
gel in what is advertised as a
wrestling match.
The promoters finally have decided
on the Blimp's weight. It's $40
pounds. The Smorgasbord Angel
tips the beam at $50. At that. El
Blimpo has streamlined considerably
since his first appearance here,
when he weighed in before skeptical
railbirds at 684. The impression still
exists, however, that Levy is carry
ing bag of cement in his trunks.
The match may be billed as a con-
test between the top men on the list
of the 10 ugliest critters in the
country. The Angel, with his mon
strous head and unheavenly fea-
lures, is nightmare to most
grapplers. Babe Sharkey lost his
so-called title here because he re-
fused to meet him, but Blimp is
happy to encounter any one as
unsightly as himself.

Hot Baseball on Tap
For Touchdowners

Touchdown Club members will
hear some interesting baseball
yarns and perhaps get an inside
slant on the National League race
this year at their weekly luncheon
Tuesday when General Manager
John Quinn and Manager Bon
Coleman of the Boston Braves will
be their guests.
Quinn, who moved into his faith
er's place when 75-year- Bob
Quinn stepped down at the be-
gining Of the year to organize the
Braves farm system, apparently
knows the ropes well. At least he's
been talking up the team as po-
tential first division finisher this
season, supporting his arguments
with logical reasoning.
Coleman is in complete agree
ment that the Braves will finish no
worse than fourth, barring unfore-
seen mishaps. The veteran pilot
points out that the quality of his
rockies is extraordinarily good for
these days and that after the team
irons out its early season wrinkles
it'll be bad medicine for any op-
ponent.
Coleman is more than pleased
with the squads program at its
Georgetown University training
camp. Favored by ideal weather,
the Braves came along at a rapid
gait, despite a start a week be-
hind most other major league
teams and Coleman expects to be
ready when the barrier is sprung
