Bray, ?. ' former North Wilkesboro business man. telephoned E. M. Blackburn, weU k^wn cit izen of this thriving little city, Monday evening from C. E. Lenaerman’s store in Wilkesboro. Answering the telephone, Mr. Bray asked Mr. Black- bum if he had any romn for a transient seeing a night’s lodging.

Terror Wave Now Sweeping Europe London.— A growing wave of terror, with repressive measures of the Nazi -eonqueroni increasing in savagery and Ingenuity, was reported from many parts of oc cupied Europe last night. On the German home front it self, reports added, the Nazis have opened a new propaganda drive calling for fortitude and ‘iron purpose”—and, pimtaciagly. warning of the dire.consequences of defeat. - Japanese Losses Ten To Our One Japs May Ti^ Grab Of Russian B^ses Manufacture of illicit whiskey In the hills of Wilkes is on the way out, for the duration of the war at least, according to infor mation gained from the alcohol tax unit investigators assigned to this territory. An officer in charge of the group of investigators said that lees than 25 percent of the usual volume of moonshine Is being made and that the volume is de creasing steadily. Several factors are responaiblo .far tlWfe.d«SSi»fl,.:thA effkdf 1 Skid Chief "among them Is the inanlllty of the moonshiner to secure sug. r because of strict government rationing which leaves no loop holes to get In supplies. Another reason of much importance is the shortage of still (not skilled) la bor. Those who had ,,been work ing at stills for a nominal sum per day have found that they can get £8 much on war jobs In one hour as the liquor makers had been paying for one day. Another factor is that officers have time because of smaller volumes of ihoonshining to thoroughly track down every report and enforce ment Is more strict. Officers get better cooperation from people who will not be com placent, when moonshiners are usihig up precious sugar. The av erage person is showing more in terest in liquor law enforcement. On Tuesday Federal Agents G.H. Gilbertson, T. C. Jordan and H. H. Dotson destroyed a still near Call postoffice t'efore operators coiild get it set up and in oper ation. They arrested John W. Shew, Bnel Call and Howard Call. Shew, home on furlough from the army, was held for the army officers, while the Call Youths gave bond for trial in federal court. Last week Rufus June Hollo way and Basel Holloway were ar rested In a raid on a still in the Roaring River section of the county. When officers make a still raid now, they find grain mash, indi cating that the making of corn Hauor may not be a thing of the past. "-aiuta of those femerly- enga ged fn mak'n'g moonshine !iq'*or and backing such operations with money and materials, have turned to nauung in tax paid liquor. Federal officers ha^e no au thority to Interfere, and enforce ment of dry laws with respect to liquor on which federal taxes have been paid Is left up to the county and state officers. Decrease In volume of moon shine liquor has resulted in a big Increase In business for the wholesalers, haulers and retailers of tax-paid liquor In dry counties.

The mirapaign Is now getting in full airiffg, Mr. Jenkins said, and the canmas of homes, individnals.^ business honses and indnetrlas Is well under way and the responsa has been very gratifying. On Saturday principals of the schools of the Wilkes system will meet to lay plans for soHclting USO oontribntlonis in rural areas.
