The communique text:
THE Berlin conference of the
heads of the governments of the
United Kingdom, the United States
of America, and the Soviet Union
met this afternoon at o'clock
"By invitation of his two col
leagues the President of the
United States of America will pre-
side at the meeting of the confer
ence.
''The preliminary exchange of
views took place on the matters
requiring decision by the heads OF
the three governments.
1T was decided that the three
foreign secretaries should hold
regular meetings with a view tc
preparing the work of the con-
ference"
There was no indication as tc
what specific matters requiring
decision had been touched upon
or how strongly, at this first par
ley in which Missouri-born Tru-
man occupied the chair once re-
served for the late President
Roosevelt.
1t was generally considered by
observers however, that out OF
more than a score of major prob
lens varying from occupation pol
icy to setting the date of the peace
conference, the most importance
was attached to whether Stain
will change Russia's role in the
Pacific war from a passive to an
active ally against Japan.

Sell Your Beans In West
jefferson

The bean season is underway and West
Jefferson is fortunate in having well-es-
tablished markets to serve the farmers.
We believe prices as well as service are
comparable to those anywhere and we urge
the growers to patronize these markets.
The establishment of auction markets here
is definite advantage to the people of this
section. For many, local markets mean
profitable outlet where there was previous
" none. For others, who formerly hauled
their crops to distant points, it means
saving of time and transportation. We con-
graduate the local markets on their success
and again urge the farmers of this entire
section to patronize them.

Mr.. Grouse pointed out that the
primary purpose of the observ-
ance is to prevent avoidable ac-
cidents, both from the standpoint
of safety as we'll as the loss of
work. While Ashe county has a
good safety record, there are a
number of minor accidents about
the home and the farm that could
be prevented with little care" "
he said.
In order to assure full employ
ment "of the great power of our
farm production in supplying the
food and feedstuffs so vitality
needed in our war effort" Gov
ernor Cherry said the farmer
must of necessity be his own safe
ty designer. He must, the Gov
ernor said, do these three things:
l. Learn to recognize and hunt
out the accidents and fire hazards
on the farm and in the farm
home.
2. Correct or remove those haz-
ards that he can.
, 3. Learn to live and work safe

Congratulations In Order

Ashe county has again exceeded her war
loan drive quota by healthy margin. Not
only has she succeeded in surprising the
overall quota but that hard-to-raise bond
goal, which many counties missed. Much
of the credit for this goes to Lawrence Ty-
son, county chairman, who labored tireless-
ly and consistently from the beginning un-
til the end. Not only was the E bond goal
higher than in any previous drive, but the
drive itself came at period of the year
when farmers and some other groups had
little income But because they know how
important it is to back our men in service
with bonds, the people of this county re-
sponded we'll to the call, just as they have
to all wartime drives
To Chairman Tyson we extend our con-
gratulations as we'll as to all others who
helped work in the drive and to every per-
son who bought bonds. Ashe county men
have been and are still making records on
the battlefronts of the world and what
could be more fitting than to back them
with outstanding records in the wartime
