Tl'ESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10,
A Challenge
The birth rewords at the Haywood Comity
Hospital are a challenge to the Haywood
county folks to make and keep our county
an attractive and progressive area tor these
potential citizens to remain as permanent
residents.
At the present rate it won't take Haywood
very lotiK to have an increase of several
thousands in population. So in looking for
ward to the passing of a couple of decades
we extend a welcome to these new comers,
who some day will take their place as citizens
of our county.
Final Resting Place
The government is working hard to
identify all the 328,000 Americans who gave
their lives overseas, and is making the same
offer with reference to the burial of the men
killed in World War I. There are to he four
choices :
The body may be interred in a permanent
Amedican military cemetery overseas: the
body may be returned to the I'nited States
for burial in a national cemetery; it may be
returned to the United States for burial in a
private cemetery, with fifty dollars allowed
on burial cost; or the body may be interred
in the country in which now interred or may
be returned to a foreign country, the home
land of the deceased for interment in a pri
vate cemetery.
While the War Department wants the fam
ilies of these heroes to take the course which
gives them greatest comfort, the wife of
General Patton has set a tine example, in
wishing her husband to be buried "where he
fell."
When one realizes that our government
will keep these cemeteries overseas, where
the white crosses are "row upon row."' in such
beautiful order, somehow it seems to us the
most fitting resting place for those who gave
their lives, rather than have them brought
home again, and with their second burial the
heart aches and suffering revived.
Bad Business
We have found ourselves passing out pretty
tough sentences on the Nazis criminal trials
as we have followed the court proceedings
at Nuremberg, and now with the trial of V;i"
Capt. Kathleen Durant. who "ordered the
surrender of everything in Kromberg Cii.il,.."
including the jewels we find that we are
equally as hard on our own countrywonui
as we were on the Germans.
There is, however, a big difference, the
Germans were not our responsibility, but this
American woman, who has shown up with
the same kind of greed displayed by them,
makes us turn with shame from any sense
of loyalty to her.
There is no excuse for her. Wven in -war
there are some rules of decency that one
would expect a man to observe, and when it
comes to a woman, well words just fail us.
It must have taken plenty of nerve, which
of course Capt. Durant had to endure the
looks of MrsT Margo Von Bochmann, servant
for 32 yeara in the Hesse family, to say noth
ing of the disdain of Margareta, Countess of
Hesse, Princess of Prussia, and grand
daughter of Queen Victoria, who stated that
she was the owner of the Castle, the Amer
ican had looted.
The case will go down in history as a blot
on the American armed forces and American
womanhood. We regret our lack of sympathy
for Capt. Durant in whatever judgment is
handed out to her.
To College By Bus
What would the pioneers of this section
have thought, say back even a hundred years
ago to have read that "arrangements are'
made for a bus to carry stuoents to college?"
We have been fortunate to have such a
high standard college in a county next door,
and now we are to have one step better. We
are to have the advantages of college educa
tion and the comforts of home combined.
While it would have been a very fine thing
to have had an off campus school here, we
doubt if it would have been as satisfactory
as transporting the students to college, wh"re
there will be standard equipment, as can be
found at Western Carolina Teachers College.

prediction, but

to be a record
breaking one in Haywood.
Our folks have
had time enough since the war to get back
into their civilian ways of planning.
We feel that in recollection of the fine
spirit of cooperation in the events of other
years, that there will be renewed interest
as the revival of this annual show takes place
this year. 1
The enthusiasm of Wayne Corpening, and
his assistants, and of Miss Mary Margaret
Smith and the other Home Demonstration
agents will take our Haywood folks alone,
to the culmination of the best show ever held
in the county.
With the new features added, the event
will include all phases of development in the
county, and will have a universal appeal to
all the Ilavwood citizens.

hollld lie fun. Our country also chose to
maintain a I i i ni position in the Far Fast.
The F. S. decision to maintain a direct inter
est in Furope was made liy President Roose
velt at Yalta, and it is being sustained by
Secretary of State Uyrnes at Paris.
This division of two worlds, is bound to
result in some new problems, yet we hope
it may furnish a basis for working out prob
lems, rather than tiring up another contest.
One writer recently pointed out that there
was a chance that Russia, convinced that the
I'nited States is in Furope to stay, may re
serve her position and go back to the idea of
one world. High oilieials on the other hand
seem of the opinion that if the present trends
continue, "the gap will become too wide to
be bridged, and that the division is harden-!
ing." '
The new world grouping has tentatively;
been divided as follows: Fastern world, led j
by Russia, includes neighboring countries
whose policies are geared to Rtisisan policies.!
either because of friendship, or because of
the presence of Russian Armies of occupa
tion, or because they are convinced that their;
existence depends on Rusisa. These coun-
tries are Finland. Poland, Czechoslovakia. I
Hungary. Bulgaria. Rumania. Yugoslavia and '
Albania in Furope and Outer Mongolia in j
Asia. I
The Western world, led by the United!
States and Britain, would include the Western
Hemisphere. Africa. Iceland, Spain. Portugal.
Belgium, Holland, much of the Middle Fast,
India. Burma, Malaya, the Fast Indies, Aus
tralia, the Philippines and Japan.
In between is a belt of countries that have
not as yet definitely lined up with either side.
In this group are Norway. Sweden, Denmark.
Germany, France. Switzerland, Austria. Italy.
Greece. Turkey. Iran, Afghanistan, China
and Korea.
Germany is considered, according to those
on the inside to be the most crucial of all
areas. It is said that Pvussia is "wooing"
the Germans in her own zone by stepping
up industry, releasing German War prisoners,
unfreezing- life insurance and bank accounts,
increasing rations for the sick and granting
women equal pay with men.
We are so busy here at home trying to get
over the setback of war as it interfered with
our civilian way of living, that we would like
to forget the rest of the world, but that we
can never do again. We will have to keep
one eye glued on what they are doing across
both the Atlantic and the Pacific, for whether
we wish it or not the past hag taught us, it is
our business.
