The low soft whispers and gentle Murmers Of thy slow and easy moving current Are as everlasting as the loft;' peaks That raise their head in silent peace On and on down slowfc- winding ways.

THE MILES GROW LONG AGAIN The last new car has come off the I assembly lines until the war is over, j New tires are not to be had. except sn unusual circumstances end the ; miles suddenly grow long again! For many years now each season I has nvide the county, the state, the j nation, a smaller place as cars were ! improved and new roads c-ns true ted | " v o shopped rcgiilsrly in towns that were a long days journey away In our grandmother's time and a neighbor has been anyone within twenty miles. We've driven to the next state for Sunday dinner and covered half the continent on our vacations. Now. almost over night, there are fewer automobiles on the highways. An out-of-the-state license plate be gins to become a curiosity and we ourselves think twice about the 12 mile drive over to the county seat. The local grocery store is painting its old delivery wagon, they say. and two of the neighbor's boys are going to the high school, two miles away, on their bicycles. But it's not only the actual phys ical changes in our every da7 living that I've noticed. There's a new feel ing in the very air. with the automo bile something to use only when nec essary and then, carefully, at about 40 miles an hour Instead of an impu dent 60! We're beginning to settle down and look around us; to dig in, as it were, and discover near-by friends and stores and entertain ment. We're beginning to think again about the beginnings of this country and why it was our great grandparents were willing to endure' the hardships of pioneer life. Bill, who is 14. can for the first time in his life understand what the world might have been like 50 years ago before the railroad came through this part of the country. And Judy, whose boy friend can no longer take '.ier to dances 30 miles away, Is be ginning to get some place with her knitting. It may be a little difficult to ad just ourselves to a war-time world in which there's a limit on cars, tires, and perhaps on gasoline. These things have become to us Americans almost as common as air and water and just about as necessary. A while back we wouldn't have thought we could possibly get along without them. Now we know we can? for the sake of Victory. In fact, we could ,*et along with a horse and buggy and the railroad to take us on long jour neys. So let's not complain but make the most of this time of enforced slowing down. Let's enjoy our homes more and be friends with the people down the street. Let's find fun and new health In walking and horseback riding and bicycling. And let's get better acquainted with our children. When the war Is over and the au tomotive Industry can turn from war work to passenger vehicles once more, well have better cars than ever ? because new things about motors and streamlining are being discover ed every week. Wc'U have thousands more planes, too; some say "flivver" planes for regular family use and all 1 say transports for freight, as well as passengers. This Is the land of mass production, you know ? the country where Industry can provide enough if hlngs to go all the way round so that the workman, as well as the ex ecutive and professional man, can drive to work !n his own automobile. And where the future Is always more abundant than the' past! WANTADSPAY Church Notice BATTIST Rev. A. B. Ofcr.li. Pastor Services 11 A. 11. and 7:30 P. M 1 Wednesday evening. 7:30 P.

Anzacd Join Guerillas Hundreds of Australia and New Zealand soldiers, cut off by the Ger man blitzkrieg in Greece last spring, have recently joined the growing guerilla army of the Jugloslav Gen eral Mihailovltch. They had remain ed hidden in the mountains. Invitation to Bomb The British government has re ceived letters smuggled out of occu pied France, asking the R. A. T. to "bomb the Germans out of the coun try." Kerosene Fish A favorite Norwegian method of sabotaging the German war effort is to pour kerosene, gravel or refuse In to cases ui dried and salted fish des tined for Germany . WOLF CREEK NEW5 The better than fifteen inch snow of early last week is still In evidence where it had drifted heavily and was protected from direct sun rays. I: was said by some of our oldest citi zens to be the heaviest fall during March in their memory. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Smith and Mr. and Mrs. John Murphy left hire Frl d.v yaftemoon to visit relatives In Madison. S. C. Herbert Garren and his two sons. Warden and Fred, spent the week end in Graysville. Tenn . with the rest of the family. The Rymer saw mill hjs been closed down for more than a week on account of inclement weather There were quite a number of tneits and ?U>U;w frc~ si sa automobiles and trucks stalled in the snow on the highways early last week. Mrs. B. J. Stepp returned to her home in Hendersonvllle. Thursday of last week after spending several weeks with her parents here. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Garren.

Let Tarmt mm .

They call them "Flying Tigers." Outnumbered four and five to on*, the "Flyin; ? ; have maintained Just about that ra tio in bringing down Japanese planes, too. o New Disease A new and curious disease u .^reading through the province of Zeeland. in the occupied Nether lands. It is said to be infectious, but not dangerous. Since It attacks espe cially children and Is thought to be connected with the food problem, the Dutch have named the disease "ersatz disease." o Haw Much for Hitler? Jugoslav guerillas may be fanatic al fighters, but they are also emi nently practical. A Berlin paper re ports their "ransom schedule" for the release of captured Nazi soldiers: Both food and ammunition for a major: ammunition only for a cap ! tain; a good army rifle for a plain private. The Lights Went Out! T wice, in the past couple of weeks, we have found ourselves in an unofficial "Blackout." On one occasion it lasted several hours. There were- as always- some complaints. But those blackouts were not due to faulty equipmnt, or inadequate service. They were due to storms~the handiwork of The Almighty! The long blackout came because the weight of snow had broken down a big TV A power line, deep in the Mountains. And while residents, safe in the warm shelter of their homes, were complaining because they had to use lamps, or maybe candles- repair men were fighting their way up and down moun tains, through snow that often was waist deep, hunting for the broken wire. They worked far into the night, picking their way by flashlight, and it was bitterly cold. They worked at risk to their very lives, ? for chance contact with those hanging strands might have meant instant and horribe death! But? they found the trouble ? and fixed it. They always do ? and never do they waste even a single minute. Ti This is printed so you may know the facts, and not cast blame for circumstances that are beyond human control. We ask you to remember, when you endure the occasional inconvenience of temporary in terruption in lights and power, that hundreds of thousands of our allies overseas have no elec tricity at all. Compared to them, our lot is al most heavenly! We ask, too, that you remember that we in the Electrical Department, and our families, are just as anxious as you yourself to have the best service possible. Indeed, we are even more anx ious ? because it is our responsibility. Finally, we ask you to remember that we are giving you our best ? and will continue to do so, always!
