(One Day Nearer Victory)
Seventeen Years Of
Service
In December of this year the Haywood
County Hospital will mark its seventeenth
anniversary. It has Riven seventeen years
of service to the people of Haywood County,
a service that has meant much to the citizens
of this area.
It has ministered to those who could pay
for hospitalization and to those who did not
have the money for medical treatment.
The Haywood County Hospital has made
history in North Carolina. It was the first
hospital in the state to be built by special
taxation voted by the people of the county
for this specifice purpose.
The Haywood County Hospital was the
first hospital in the state to receive aid from
the hospital section of the Duke Endown
ment Fund, which was in the process of or
ganization at the time of the proposed con
struction of the building.
The citizens of Haywood County have
been fortunate in the membership of the
board of trustees, who have served so faith
fully and efficiently. They should and do
appreciate the care with which the board
has at all times selected the operation per
sonnel of the institution.
It would be hard to estimate the part
that the Haywood County Hospital has play
ed in the great crusade of health and in its
contribution to the comfort and happiness
of the people of this county.
A Prayer For Victory
We noticed during the week that the
churches of Drexel are sponsoring a prayer
period daily. The church bells are being
rung for five minutes each day at six o'clock.
The people of the community are asked to
pause and offer a prayer for victory.
The story further stated that the custom
of ringing the church bells might become
county wide in Burke.
The idea is worthy of following, for with
the men in our armed forces on duty twenty
four hours of the day, certainly five minutes
out of the twenty-four hours should not be
too much to ask of those on the home front
to concentrate in one mighty prayerful effort.
On the Home Front
The National Safety Council reports that
accidents have reduced 350,000 war time
workers to industrial 4-F's with permanent
disabilities. In addition 102,000 workers
have been killed and 9,500,000 injured.
This shows how dangerous life is at all
times even in the ranks of the civilian. While
many of the accidents were no doubt avoid
able, the great majority of them could have
been avoided by intelligent action on the
part of those killed and injured.
Other figures released by the Council show
that 61,000 persons have been killed in traf
fic accidents since Pearl Harbor and that
some 2,100,000 have been injured. When
one considers that at that rate there are
2,000 persons killed or hurt on the highways
during each month, one is bound to put the
blame on carelessness.

Summer Necessities
There is something to stir the enthusiasm
of the Victory gardener in announcement by
the OPA that the price of snap beans will
be a cent a pound more this year and that
cucumbers will be raised nearly two cents
It is a sort of answer to the plea of those
who would weary in well doing that they
could buy vegetables more cheaply than to
produce them for' themselves.
That might be true provided a person al
ways had the money with which to buy them
Have you ever figured just how many things
cost more money now taxes, clothes, gro
ceries, coal, purses, cigarettes everything.
Thero are drives to support, war bonds to
buy. It should be a very wealthy man or
woman who would walk into a place to buy
anything now without asking the price.
And what would summer be wtihout snap
beans and cucumbers ? Just something on the
calendar. The answer plainly is to plant
your garden, enjoy the summer and save
money. Charlotte Observer.
Mother's Day
Change Of Heart
BORROWED TIME . . . Why is
it so fascinating? . . . Last week
when the sugar registration was on
and the teachers had the job, the
closing hour of school was set up
. . . the children were released an
hour or so ahead of regular sche
dule. We met a group on the
street, but there was no lagging
that one sees often on a regular
school day. . . They were all trav
eling on hurrying feet, all smiles.
For the time we had forgotten why
they were out at that earlier hour
and we asked one child and they
all yelled in chorus, "The teachers
had to ration sugar, and we got
a holiday." Such pure joy over
that bit of borrowed time. . . Per
haps today with the men in service
we should all have a better under
standing of borrowed time . . . for
when a furlough or a leave is
lengthened it is like a precious gift,
full of the charm of a pleasant sur- i
prise.
One can neither think nor approach the
day without a wealth of sentiment. A per
son could write a million words about love,
devotion and service. Then it could be con
densed into one single word Mother. For
mothers embrace everything which makes
for better living.
Mothers of the world today are being
tried as never before. Regardless of race
or creed, country or continent, mother love
stands out as a survival and symbol of
righteousness and faith.
Mother is one person who devotes a life
time to lovable service and lifelong devotion.
Wars may change living conditions and
boundary lines, but mothers will continue
to be the greatest reality of our existence.
Mothers live forever whether they are
here on earth or beyond they are always
present to serve. A person is said to be
dead only when forgotten. That is way
mothers are always with us.
If your mother is here for you to enjoy,
serve her well by recognizing her greatness
and your own obligations. Make every day
of her life Mother's Day. If you think this
way, make it a legal holiday for mother by
your acts of kindness and consideration.
When you do this, you are only increasing
your own share of sunshine to bask in.
Count each day a blessed one that is
shared with your mother. To those less for
tunate, who count on memories for comfort
are also blessed. The best part of our char
acters show us the eternal plant of love
which memories of mother keep ever green.
Mother love is our shrine of worship. It is
one of the most precious possessions offered
to us in unselfish devotion and service.
At their 1940 general conference the Meth.
odist Churches of America voted "not to offi
cially endorse, support or participate in war.'
The past three years seem to have brought
about a change of heart. Last week at their
meeting in Kansas City they voted to sup
port the war because "God Himself has a
stake in the struggle."
The resolution adopted in part after a
long debate said in part:
"God Himself has a stake in this strug
gle. We repudiate the theory that a state,
even though imperfect in itself, must not
fight against intolerable wrongs. The church
must speak unequivocally regarding the at
tack upon civilization which has been made
by the forces of aggression."
The resolution further pointed out that
"We are well within the Christian position
when we assert the necessity of the use of
military forces to resist an aggression which
would overthrow every right which is held
sacred by civilized man."
One group wanted to avoid "blessing war"
and insisted that the church should not
"give moral or spiritual sanction to war."
But after five hours of oratory and 30
speeches the Methodists came out with their
decision to officially support war.
EVER SO often we happen to
visit the post office just after the
postmaster has had a grueling day
of "cashing" bonds. We want to
warn you right now that when he
has been so occupied you will find
him in a very disgusted mood. In
the first place he feels that it is a
sacred and patriotic duty for every
American citizen to buy as many
bonds as financially possible and
when done, a major crime, unless a
matter of dire necessity, to cash
them in. He does not approve of
'Indian giving" to Uncle Sam. In
the next place he thinks it a matter
of good, sound business judgment
to hold bonds until their maturity
date. Right after we had the bene
fit of his reaction of a day's steady
"cashing" we had the following
handed to us by the conservative
person, who will never know what
it is to actually need anything . . .
the sentiments fitted in so well
with the memory of the postmast
er's ideas that we pass it on to you.
We feel that in this day of over
flowing money, it is a timely warning.
