Postwar World Will Be Best
Civilization Has Ever Known,
Speaker Tells College Grads
Ed M. Anderson Delivered
Commencement Address
At Brevard College
When victory is won and the
sunlight of freedom shines again,
the world will be the best place
in which to live that civilization
has ever known, Ed M. Anderson
told members of the graduating
classes at Brevard college last
Thursday morning.
“In the postwar world the age
old dreams of mankind will come j
true and young men and women
will have golden opportunities,”
the speaker declared.
“But to live useful, successful
and happy lives you will have to
think for yourselves, get along
with other people, work hard, save,
be honest and friendly and above
all, listen to that still small voice
that comes from within you,” he
advised.
The commencement speaker
was introduced by President E. J.
Coltrane who also awarded di
plomas. The invocation was given
by Rev. W. A. Jenkins. Mrs. H. R.
Bobst sang a solo accompanied at
the piano by Miss Jeanette Austin.
Dr. W. B. Loomis presented the
class and the benediction was pro
nounced by Rev. B. W. Thomason.
There were five boys in the
pre-college graduating class and
five girls in the junior college
class.
“War has seriously effected col
leges and universities, just as it
has everything else in the world
today,” Mr. Anderson said. “Dur
ing these crucial hours, many in
stitutions are going to find it
difficult to keep their doors open,
but I have no fear of Brevard col
lege doors being closed so long
as our able president, Dr. Col
trane, is on the job.

“If the unemployed person re
fuses to accept employment pro
vided him by the service, or re

Governor recommends that they

to accept employment reasonably
suited to their experience and
capacity for work at a reasonable
basis of compensation,” asserted
Governor Broughton in setting up
the Labor Mobilization Board in
this county, and he added that “it
is necessary that all available labor
in North Carolina be used to the
end that it may be employed in
the prosecution of the war.”

War Manpower Commissioner
Paul V. McNutt today clarified
the attitude of the War Manpower
Commission as to essentiality of
pulpwood production in- a state
ment to the Newspaper Pulpwood
Committee.
“Pulpwood is an essential war
material.” he said, “used among
other things for making rayon
parachutes, shipping containers and
smokeless powder.

classified pulpwood cutting and
production of pulp as essential war
occupations.
