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.—

today, yor are an idealist who is
rarely satisfied with things as
they are. No matter how good a
situation is, you can always seem
to discover a shortcoming or a
way to make it even better! Some
times, when your passion for bet
terment is not fully appreciated,
you became very much discourag
ed and disillusioned Pond of
books and all intellectual pur
suits, you are much too practical

I Sales Of Imitation
Wines End Sept. 10
j _ i
RALEIGH, Aug. 4.— <JP) —The
state board of alcoholic control
has extended until September 10
the date on which retail sales of
sub-standard and imitation wines j
must cease in North Carolina.
The August 10 deadline for li
censed dealers to sell these wines
and sometimes you are considered
a terrific “slow-poke.” Given
your own time in which to do a
job, you will do it as perfectly
as possible. You are very popu
lar, having a personality which
draws others to you. You may
pretend not to care much for the
opposite sex, but actually you are
sympathetic and loving. It is like
ly that you will be truly happy
only when you are married to the
one of your choice and can have
your own home and family. i
was extended by the board after
many wholesale and retail dealers
had requested more time in which
to dispose of large stocks of the
imitation and substandard wines.
The 1945 legislature forbade the
sale of all wines not approved by
the ABC board and also outlawed
on-premises sales of wine except
in “A" grade restaurants, hotels
and cafes. A list of tested and ap
proved wines was sent t# retail
ers and wholesalers who have met
qualification to sell them.
Licenses to sell imitation or sub
standard wines were to have be
come void automatically on Aug.
10. ABC Chairman Carl William
son said today there will “posi
tively be no more extensions. Sep
tember 10 is the deadline.”

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.

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

i Jake Early, back home from

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.

entering service, was an employee
