HOME i OWN CROSSES FOR WAR DEAD—As in most county seats in this country, there stands in Franklin, Macon County, N. C., a roster bearing the names of the counties service men. And, on the grass in front of the rostar are nearly three score crosses, each representing the grave of a soldier who gave his life on the far flung battlefields of his country. Here the mothers and relatives of the men can place flowers before the crosses, as they would do in a cemetery. Shown above are townspeople reading the inscriptions on a cross.— )— Dr. John Gil .i, Duke University anthropologist, -ias been appointed chairman of the national research council’s commit tee on Latin American anthropology.

THE WAR TODAY: Victors Exacting Punishment But Are Not Taking Revenge By DeVVITT MacKENZIE, AP Writer The number one Doint of signifi cance in connection with the his toric Big Three communique of Potsdam, as I see it. hes in the fact that the statement could be marie at all. This is to say, the outstand ing feature is that the three statesmen were able to reach an accord in what must have been by far the most delicate and difficult conference of the Am eriean-British-Russian partner ship. The demands of war had oiled the wheels of previous parleys, but this meeting dealt with urgent post-war problems which most certainly would pro duce a divergence of views on some vital questions. Therefore, as the most important para graph of the lengthy communi que, I give you this: “President Truman, Generalissimo Stalin and Prime Minister Attlee leave this conference, which has strengthened the ties between the three governments and extended th scope of their collaboration and understanding, with renewed con fidence that their governments and peoples, together with the other United Nations, will ensure the creation of a just and enduring peace.” GOOD NEWS Now% of course, one swallow doesn’t make a summer, and one love feast doesn’t necessarily guar antee a continuance of accord. Still, it's great news that the Big Three have negotiated a dangerous course so well. Naturally it’s a keen disappoint ment that out of 6,000 words de voted to the communique, the con ferees couldn’t find a half dozen words to tell us what the sphinx of Moscow has in his mind regard ; ing Japan. However, it really would 1 have been surprising if a statement had been made in this matter. If i Russia isn't going to war against Nippon, it wouldn't be wise to tell Tokyo that now. And if the Soviet is going to join the conflict, it j wouldn't be smart to advertise it in advance. Anyway, we have the right to believe that things will work out well. KINGS MT. BOYS RETURNHOME Service Man Dons Base ball Uniform; Scouts Back From Camp KINGS MOUNTAIN.—Cpl. Al ) fred T. Dellinger, Jr„ U. S, army ! arrived in the United States yes i terday afternoon on the SS West Point, which docked at Hampton ] Roads, Va., after having spent a 1 number of months overseas and in actual combat in the European theater of operations. Cpl. Del linger’s residence is at 600 West Mountain street. i Jake Early, back home from overseas, on a thirty day furlough for a visit with his wife and par ents, both of Kings Mountain, donned his baseball togs again last week with the Washington Senators, the major league team for which he caught before en tering the services, and had a good work-out while paying his i former team-mates a visit. But he 1 hs,d only a work-out as. being in ! military service, he awaits re-as signment with the army and anti cipates a transfer to the Pacific theater of operations. SCOUTS RETURN Fourteen scouts of troop 3 re turned here early this week after having spent an exciting week of activities at the Piedmont Boy Scout camp at Lake Lanier, near Tryon. The boys returned again j ihis year for the fourth consecu tive time holding a medal for in dividual performance in the week ly field day. Both David Mauney and Bill McGinnis won these med als this year. Ensign Carol K. Newby, former Kings Mountain commercial teach er who entered military services last year, and Lt. Virginia Williams of Asheville,, both of the navy have been visitors of Mrs. Fred | The communique Indicates that I ! the Big Three are getting ahead with the job of dealing with Ger many, both as regards penalties and rehabilitation. That’s highly important, for the reich is the cen ter of the European turmoil, and a return of tranquility to the conti nent is dependent In great degree upon the progress made in read justing Germany’s affairs. Another striking item is the temporary territorial award to Poland. Pending a final adjust ment, the Poles are given the rich German territory east of the Oder river line and a large section of East Prussia. If this is confirmed It will mean that Poland will become one of the great European powers. It can reach 1 the skies, what with its agricultural and industrial possibilities and great Baltic ports through which it i can pour its products to the world at large. BIG FIVE COUNCIL Tlie creation of a big five council of foreign minister—America, Rus sia, France and China—to draw up the peace treaties of Europe is an another gesture of unity. It is notable that these five countries are the permanent members of the | council of the United Nations peace ! organization formed in San Fran cisco and the foreign ministers will report to that organization. We have here another step toward world peace. The five axis nations which fought beside Hitler—Italy, Bul garia, Finland. Hungary and Ro mania—are t» be given a chance to become honest members of the United Nations, after the peace treaties have been agreed upon and suitable governments have been es tablished. The Italian treaty will come first. So we see that the allies are ex acting just punishment but not taking revenge. That should be of interest to Japan. Spain is barred from United Na tions membership while the fascist government of General Franco is in power. That can only mean tha* the present Spanish regime will have to go. Finger here. Ensign Newby, when entering service, was an employee of the First National bank here. GO TO GEORGIA Staff Sergeant and Mrs. W.
