Many of our boys who would have finished high school and then on to college to fit them for the higher life, have had to quit and go into the armed forces before completing a high school education. Man)- have been drafted from college before finish ing, will probably never return to school room again or finish the thing that they prized most ? a College Education. With the return of peacetime conditions, educa tion and opportunities for the average Amer ican boy and girl, come so easy that they do not place the value on them as they should. Were it like those in some countries of the world, our youths would appreciate the opportunity that the schools in Xorth Carolina afford them, and not stop till they were fitted to take their places in the world of today. Time Marches Back? CIGNS are that along about October the ersatz ^ war clock will sound its alarm at having its hands deliberately set liack an hour. But the hall clock probably will tock back in reassuring grand fatherly fashion : "Oh, that's just an old prewar custom. It used to happen to us every fall." Daylight-saving time never was universally pop ular even when in operation just for the summer. And the war time which has prevailed the year around since February, 1942, has !>een l>arely en dured for the sake of the war effort. Cows are reported to have mooed their protest at being put on the swing shift. Mothers in many sections have had difficulty getting their children up and off to school in the dark and to bed in daylight: Early winter morning workers seldom were moved to poetic outbursts by the accompanying moonlight. Farmers have challenged the clock tinkerers to provide a way of "evaporating the morning dew ar hour earlier." . But warm protests have been out-weighed by cold statistics showing that war time has conserved 5, (XX), (XX), 000 kilowatt hours of electric power, and war agencies have been adamant against repeal of the daylight-saving legislation. Now, with the war over, the hour has struck when Congress can send the forward time marching back to civilian status. That is, unless continued fuel scarcity calls for its redeployment. ? Christian Science Monitor. It Must Go On CELECTIVE Service will continue to operate un ~ til revoked by statute, but the war's end in the Pacific is a suitable occasion for commending fhose who did so much to make this democratic draft a success. Splendid words of praise have occurred to Governor Cherry. They will be echoed by all North Carolinians. "The patriotic and efficient service . . , rendered our State and nation during the war emergency" was remarked upon by the Governor in his state ment last Friday. He was thinking of the score of men in North Carolina's one hundred counties who had contributed their time and energy to Selective Service. Few received any compensation. Most gave freely in counsel and direction to a job which re quired utmost tact and discretion. The volunteer role of the doctors who performed the physical screening examinations was a patriotic sacrifice of professional time in a particularly trying period. But the job is not yet done. In some respects it becomes harder with the informal end of hostilities. This thought was uppermost with Governor Cherry when he expressed it inferentially as a rebuke to one draft board in eastern North Carolina which recently resigned. "It would seem proper and fit ting " said Mr. Cherry, "that the trained Selective SGT. AND MllS.

It would be a grievous mistake if the intemper ate action of the Person County board should be come an example and worthy precedent. As the Governor points out. "Selective Service was estab lished for the 'duration' and the 'duration' is still with us," In the meantime these services cannot be praised too highly. The faithful official will qualify doubly. ?

BALDWIN & LINER Feed Store Palnftr Street CELEBRATE SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY In a colorful garden setting, distinctive In Its simplicity, Mr. and Mrs. Claude C.

Mr. and Mrs. Bradley and their son Tommy each attired in summer white, greeted their guests beside an ivy-covered garden wall near the entrance gate. Following brief congratula tions and expression of future goad wishes to the three, call ers drifted deeper into the garden, where they were invited to sign the guest book, presided over by Mrs. Paul F. Naftel. Shaded by a huge Mimosa tree, sheltering the entire gar den, a natural decorative scheme of green and white was afforded by the spacious green carpet of grass, bordered by old-fashioned garden flowers of white petunias, lantana and tropical shrubbery. Further emphasizing the predominant coloring were tall urns and baskets of white oleander and gladioli, placed on fire-place and In occasional recessed nooks. Crystal and white wroughtiron furnishings with green cushioned chairs, deep seats and swings, provided an inviting out-door living room, completely enclosed by a high garden wall. The fete featured a silver white crystal top bridal table, bearing a basket of white chif fon asters and lacey gladioli. Flanking the flowers on both sides were high cut crystal holders, carrying tall white tapers, while at one end of the long table stood a snowy, three tiered wedding cake, and at the other, a capacious crystal bowl of ice-green fruit punch. Ac cents of silver decoration on cake and napkins were subtle reminders of the occasion for the gala event. Assisting Mrs. Bradley in en tertaining, and taking turns at serving at the punch-bowl, and cutting of the cake throughout the afternoon were, Mrs. Henry Purmort Eames and Mrs, David N. Naftel from four to five o'clock, Mrs. Abbott Boone and Mra. Victor Behrens between five and six, and Mrs. Freder ick Hard and Mrs. Thompson Webb, six to seven o'clock.

Stoker, Mrs. Percy Johnson, Mrs. Carl L. Baumann, Mrs. Morrill L. Ilsley, Mrs. Paul F. Naftel, Mrs. William H. Beers. ? Further enhancing the color ful beauty of the scene, were the background of music, with, continuous strains of dellcatw love-songs and romantic melo dies, reminiscent of the wed ding music of twenty-five years ago.

Bau mann, flutist, each gave num-. erous solos during the course of the afternoon.

The fourteen assisting friends were gowned in summer pastels, styled semi-formally with full length skirts. Mystery garden ias worn as hair ornaments were gifts of their hostess. Taking leave of their hosts, callers passed from the formal garden through a lane of bril liant-hued giant zinnias and rise-colored hibiscus to the wide iron gate leading out of the gardens. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bradley came from the deep south, his home having been North Caro lina, and hers, Louisiana.
