Registration
Of Young Men
Is Around 5001
T!u> tot:il registration of young
jackson county men registering
with tlie Selective Service Board
i5 expected to exceed 500 according
to estimates made this J
morning at the office of the j
board. ,
Many young men from the
awav from their !
COUni?
homes, working on various defense
jobs in many parts of the
countrv. Instead of coming home
to register these young men registered
at the places where they
work, and the boards there will 1
transfer them to their home J
board in Sylva.
As the Selective Service machinery
dipped into the younger |
group of the country in the \
fourth registration since the act1
was passed, the number of men I
eligible for military service was j
mat M-iallv increased, and the j
younger men registering here'
seemed anxious to be able to pass
rhe examinations and get into
the service of their country as
soon as is possible. Many young
men are beginning to realize the
value to them of the military
and technical training that they
will receive in the training
camps, oven should the war be
over before their period of training
is completed.
With one township missing,
the total tabulated registration
of the county of young men be
tween 18 and 21 reached 344, as I
the youth of Jackson county
went to the places of registration
on Tuesday and gave in the information
required on the registration
cards and index cards
that are kept at board headquarters.
Business Men
Join In Stamp
And Bond Sale
i Every business in Sylva susI
pended for fifteen minutes on
I Wednesday at 12 o'clock and
1 &Jd only war stamps and bonds.
Dimes, quarters, half dollars and
dollars went only for bonds and
stamps. You couldn't buy anything
else in Sylva at that time,
regardless of the size purchase
you wanted to make.
This was a part of the nationwide
effort to sell every customer
of a shop, store, cafe, or
other place of business an inter
est in the United States of America.
Last week, the stores of Sylva
carried a double page spread in
the Jackson County Journal,
carrying the message of war
stamps and bonds to the folks.
Posters and other advertising j
matter were placed in the store j
window:; and on the counters, I
calling the attention of the people
to the stamps and bonds.

ing when some good verbal gymnastics
will take place in the
House of Representatives. You
can bet there will be some fireworks,
however, when Major A.
L. Bulwinkle of North Carolina's
present Tenth District leaves his
seat in the rear of the chamber
and starts for the rostrum with
blood in his eye. Robert
Rich, the talkative
Pennsylvania Republican, was
sounding off last week during
debate on the 42 billion-dollar
Army appropriations bill, contending
among other things the
United States "should have teritled
to its own business." Rich is
a bitter anti-administrationist,
who usually makes at least a
one-minute speech every day.
Major Bulwinkle, World War
veteran and old advocate of a
strong foreign policy and a
strong army, tore into Rich with
a vigor that won the applause
of the House.
:,I am surprised at what the
gentleman has said, notwithstanding
Pearl Harbor," said the
Major. "We did not seek anything.
Why does he say we were
trying to bring on war? Why in
the name of Heaven did you vote
for war, for every declaration of
war? Don't say you oppose these
things (the appropriation) when
you voted for every declaration
of war."
The Major and Rich really had

North Carolina continues to
secure national defense establishments.
Edenton has been selected
as the site for a Marine
Corps glider training base, w'th
2,000 men on duty when it was
completed.
There were several factors
that weighed in Edenton's favor
over Little Washington which
also was seeking the base. Plenty
of cleared land was available at
Edenton, thus saving the Government
$200,000 to $300,000 in
land clearing cost. Washington's
airport already is in Marine
hands and is used in connection
with the Cherry Point Marine
Air Base. Because gliders require
long tow lines attached to
planes, the Corps decided to keep
away from both the Washington-Cherry
Point and the Elizabeth
City areas. Furthermore,
Edenton had a railroad close to
the site of the new base.

Senator Bailey's Commerce
Committee opened hearings this
week on the Florida barge canal
and pipeline bill which already
has been passed by the House.
Transportation Director Joseph
Eastman already has declared
the canal will be of little
use in relieving the present East
Coast oil and gasoline shortage
unless inland waterways are improved
and shallow draft barges
and tugs are available. This is
where priorities come'in. And it
looks as if only the pipeline provision
of the bill may be reportto
the Senate by the Commerce
Committee.

There's a happy restaurant
owner in Roxboro today. He is
Stephen Georges, 41, native of
Greece, who came to America in
1926 from South Africa by way
of Canada. He settled in Roxboro,
married an American girl
and became a respected citizen.
Georges was convicted two
years ago of having sworn falsely

he wanted to become an
American citizen.

I Members of the congregations
| of the various churches of Sylva
j are planning a special Indeuen | j
i dence Day service to be held at:1
: the Baptist church at 8 o'clock,1 j
| Saturday morning.

nothing reported about them for
several days. But it will pay to
watch the Aleutians, for they
form bases for American attack
on Japan or Japanese attack on
the mainland of North America.
Doubly are they worth watching
since all signs point to an imminent
JAPANESE ATTACK on Russia
through Siberia. The Chinese
have been saying for some weeks
that all indications are that the
attack through Manchukio will
come within a short time. Now
all observers are reporting large
concentrations of Japanese
troops and material on the Manchukian-Siberian
border. This
can mean but one thing, and
that is that Japan, despite solemn
treaties to the contrary,
will strike Russia in the back
while the Bear is engaged in a
life and death struggle with the
Nazis. But what is a treaty to
the "Son of Heaven" or to his
government? Being the son of
heaven, he can do no wrong.
Hence everything he does is i
right, even if it would be a most
dastardly act if performed by a
lesser mortal. That is the kind (
of government and the kind of
thinking with which we have to
contend. Nobody can say that
we have aciyiUa??l people as our
antagonist. We war with, barbarians
in defense of civilization.
We must treat them as barbarians
and not as our equals.
SUEZ AND THE EAST are in
grave .danger as General Rommel's
Nazi army continues to
advance toward Alexandria and
Cairo. The British will carry out
their plan to wreck the Canal,
rendering it useless, should the
threat of Nazi capture become a
certainty. The great battle of
Africa has swung from Lybia into
Egypt, with the British falling
back before the Nazi onslaughts.
However, the new British
commander, General Sir
Claude Auchinleck, has stated
emphatically that the British
will defeat the Germans in Africa,
and has pointed out the obvious
fact that the battle is not
yet completed.
RUSSIA has been taking a terrific
pounding for many days
around Sevastopol and Kursk, as
the Germans have poured men
and material with prodigal
abandon into the effort to force
their way through the Russian
lines and penetrate the Caucasus
invade Iran and Iraq, and join
the army of General Rommel in
the neighborhood of Suez. This
would give the <Axis a hold upon
the East and might seriously
threaten the attitude of the en
tire Moslem world, postponing
the inevitable day of the victory
of the United Nations.
THE BATTLE OF MIDWAY, in
which the American fleet and
land based airplanes engaged
the Jstfpanese most certainly
turned back a serious threat of
invasion of the Hawaiian Islands,
and peuhaps the west
coast of the United States. The
Hawaiian Islands, the coast of
^North America, and the Aleutian
Islands were the objectives
of the Japanese invasion armada
They succeeded only in gaining a
foothold on two of the minor
Aleutian^, Their major objectives
were frustrated by the men
of our army and navy, thus gaining
for us some more precious
time.
SOVASTOPOL'S FALL will probably
be the signal for the Japanese
knife thrust in the back of
the embattled Russians. As this
is written, they are fighting hand

VANCE IN JACKSON COUNTY
;rap Rubber
ntributedln
*
nty To Date j
Approximately 90,000 pounds
Df scrap rubber has been brought
in to the filling stations in this
iounty since the President's
campaign for the needed material
began, according to W. R. Enoe,
chairman of the petroleum
ndustries committee and G. R.
Lackey, chairman of the Jackson
County Salvage Committee.
rhis is exclusive of the scrap
that has been purchased by the
local scrap dealers, Mr. Enloe
jointed out.
70,000 pounds, or 35 tons is now
n the hands of the gasoline
distributors, and there is an additional
20,000 pounds at various
places in the county, in the possession
of filling stations that
have not yet been visited by the
:rucks that are picking up the
rubber and bringing it to the
distributors' warehouses, Mr. En>oe
explained.
The total contribution of the
:ounty is expected to be materially
increased, since the President's
proclamation, extending
the rubber drive by ten days.
People who are aware of the
facts state that a great many
aid tires and other rubber articles
still remain where they have
been thrown in the creeks and
rivers of the county, and this >
could be salvaged by boys, who
could thus perform a patriotic
work and at the same time make
a tidy sum of money for themselves.
All rubber salvaged during the
rubber campaign will be turned
directly to the government and
will be used in war material, it
has been repeatedly stated by
National and State authorities.
Many people were under the impression
thmt the rubber would
