C. As Second Class Matter MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 1945 It isn’t true because the COURIER-TIMES says It, but the COURIER-TIMES says It because It Is true. , ARRIVING AT PEACE Ending of the Potsdam conference, a gath ering in which it has been shown that Presi dent Truman carried full weight as highest representative of the United States, clears the way for whatever of diplomatic action may he taken in the war against Japan. The Big Three carefully avoided statements on what is to come for Japan, but there is in the Potsdam report an admission that the Jap anese program was discussed, and probably at greater length than the few lines of com ment indicate. As for what is to be done with Germany, the decentralization of industry, the re-allo cation of territory and the shifting of Ger man populations out of non-German terri tory, were expected. The Potsdam conference lacked the finality and the fanfare of Ver sailles and of the still older Conference of Vienna, but there is reason to believe that accomplishments at Potsdam will be more lasting than those usually arrived at by peace makers. Full effects of the gathering at Pots dam, owing to the totally inadequate news reports that have trickled out, will be a long time in coming out or being felt, but the public, on the basis of what it does know can afford to feel that the conferees did that which they set out to do, and with a min imum of friction. o !' BIGGER AND BETTER The South Boston Post Office, according to notices from newspapers there, has be come first class. Remembering what Post master L. M. Carlton, of Roxboro, has said in the Courier-Times as to how near the Rox boro Post Office is to that same classifica tion, we are constrained to observe that South Boston, Va., is not so much larger than Roxboro, if as large. We won’t offend our friends in either of the two cities by saying that size has anything to do with civic qual ity, although we are naturally prepared to stand up for Roxboro at any and all times, but we do think Roxboro rates a first class Post Office status just as much as does South Boston, and not even the knowledge that such or ip 4vhples)ased up on the receiipfs call -shake us from that belief. Maybe Roxboro and Person folks had bet ter get busy and buy more stamps to send more letters and that kind of thing. We just can’t afford to let South Boston get chesty, not even when the next governor of the Com monwealth of Virginia appears to be destined to cpme from there before this coming Tues day’s sun has set. And we don’t give a hang if the Postmaster at South Boston has been laboring under the delusion that the bigger the Post Office is the less of work there is to be done. o THE CLOSEST POINT TO HOME Somewhat of a mystery to civilians is the assignment of sick and wounded returning veterans to hospitals, although we are in formed that policy of both the Army and Navy is to send the men to hospitals closest to their homes. Only modification is that the definition of the closest hospital depends up on the type of illness and the classification of wounds. For example, under present poli cies men who have to have amputations go to Lawson General in Atlanta, while men with arm or leg wounds involving bone frac tures may go to Rome, Ga., and still others, whose wounds involve nerve tissues may be sent to Richmond, Va., and certain types of mental cases, together with those suffering from trench foot or frozen feet may reach Camp Butner hospital. There are exceptions to rules, of course, but the illustrative examples of locations used here fit for men who lire in or near North Carolina and have worked out in prac tical application with men team. Roxboro and Person County, The closest ,vc.y home msy be the longest way around, if trertme t, of certain wounds or diseases make distance necessary. 0 WHO IS CRAZY AND HOW LONG? | Sheer horror wells up in the mind in con templation of the Sanford story of last week | about Mrs. Mattie Lee Copeland, 48, of ! Broadway ,who took three lives, those of a sister and two grandchildren, besides her own ,in a few moments of slashing throats and veins with a straight-edged razor. Con tained in the narrative is a paragraph saying that Mrs. Copeland suffered a nervous break down in 1927 after her husband had been killed in an automobile accident, that she was 'treated in an institution for about a year and was thought to be improving. No other basis for the tragedy is revealed, but what comes out is enough to suggest the size of the responsibility of those charged with arriving at the sanity or insanity of per ■ sons committed to institutions. The task is delicate, even when the judges concerned are doctors and psychiatrists familiar with the workings of the human mind. No doubt many people suffering mental unbalance are de tained longer in institutions than is neces sary, while others are released much quicker than conditions warrant, but the Copeland case serves as a reminder of other and sim ilar instances in which wholesale family slay ings have come about through the mistaken kindness of releasing to the public and their families persons whose mental condition is debatable. Even the most sane amongst us will admit that sanity is relative, that there are times when sane persons would be classed other wise if the unsuspecting world could look in side and see. Difference is that those of us who are called sane have from within a sort of stop-watch on diviations from the normal, ’ | while those who snap in two and break under strains do not. Mrs. Copeland, it seems, was one who gave way, and there are others like her, some of them claiming the war as an ex cuse. Neither God nor man can be blamed for the acts of the mentally unbalanced —after the condition of insanity develops—but those who are responsible for the care of such per sons, whether as relatives and friends or | doctors and nurses, have a heavy personal and public responsibility, the degrees of which are only now being clarified at insti tutional levels under .a system of temporary or trial commitments in instances of doubt ful cases. Much is known, but not too much, about why people go crazy, or how long they stay that way. 0 OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE Quoted today in the “What Others Are ’ Saying” column on this page is vet another appeal to civilians for a clear recognition of obligations to returning service men. It is a theme that has been frequently discussed and generally appreciated, yet we would also remind soldiers and sailors that the honor of wearing an American uniform should mean something and that soldiers and sailors, j whether still in service or recently discharg !ed, hqve fhq obligation to conduct themselves ' 1 ki into lawn-walls and getting into fist fights { at ball games are not exhibitions of the best conduct. 0 WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO THE VETERAN Southern City Fighting men of this war are returning in increasing numbers to their home Communi ties following their release from the armed services. This fact emphasizes as never be fore our responsibility on the home front to do all in our power to make the homecoming for these heroes as easy as possible. The re sponsibility of municipal officials in this re gard is great. The Federal Government, thought the G. I. Bill of Rights, has undertaken to make prac tical the gratitude of a nation for the great sacrifice made by our boys and girls. Wo in The home communities of returning heroes should feel obligated to see to it that these veterans get lull and proper benefits from the provision made Ithe Federal Govern ment for their relict. In the first place, we should acquaint ourselves with tin 1 c isions of the G. I. Bill of Rights in order that we may help the individual veteran in Lis per plexity to benefit fully from what the bill proposes to do for him. A lot ha 3 been written and said about the kind of individual the returning veteran will be. The idea has rather generally developed that he will return home an abnormal person, and as a consequence of this notion too many of us are inclined to regard the service man THE COURIER-TIMES as a sort of problem child for society. Natur ally, the man or boy who has been through the hell of modern warfare will be a changed siersonality. However, we should remember that, despite the bitter experiences and sacri fices, the returning G. I. Joe is still funda mentally the same individual who has longed in the foxhole, on the ship’s deck and high in the clouds for home and all that it means to him. It is our responsibility to make the home town the fine community that the fighting man has dreamed of while thousands of miles away in the grim business of war. o— — PLEASURES OF PUBLISHING Greensboro Daily News Over in Asheville, Virginia Terrell Lath rop is doing something Wbrth while by get ting out “The Southern jacket,” an attrac tive pamphlet, the first issue of which came out in June, with one aiiri: “To make south ern books easy to find.” It proposes to bring to the attention of southerners books about the south which they might otherwise over look, such as "Practical Farming for the oftn FORum I Roxboro.

The colored parents who were for tunate to have their children's ton sils removed, simultaneously express | their deep apreeiation to the Ki jvvanis Club, to Dr. B. W. Fassett, of Durham, and to the Welfare and ■alth Department for the splendid service rendered. Tonsils were re moved from 19 children.

Southerners ought to get better acquainted with their region. There are plenty of good; books about it; the only trouble is that other sections of the country read them and we don’t. At Chapel Hill, John Ivey and Gordon Blackwell are planning to write a book on southern resources and problems for use in public schools, sponsored by the American council of education. Another good idea in the publishing line is the Dime Novel club which has just been started in New York with such big names as Burton Rascoe, Ellery Queen and William R. Benet on its advisory board. It furnishes to its members reprints of “dime” (but really priceless) novels featuring the exploits of those heroes of our youth, Buffalo Bill, Old Sleuth, Dead wood Dick, Old Cap Collier and others “whom we have loved long since and lost awhile.” LEGAL NOTICE utes of North Carolina.
