Twenty-nine North Carolina
counties, including Jackson conn1

for the first four month of .this
year, the HighwaySafety tDhrision
announced, thisweek.
In addition, -twenty^one other
counties reported' only one fa-'

less than ten>per cent ot<the 231
street and highway cfaeath* <dur<ing
the four-months'pertod^occurred

of the State, while the remaining
50 counties reported t over^O

"I wish to congratulate these
counties on their splendid safety
record," Safety Director Hocutt
stated, "and I especially wish to
commend the law enforcement
officers of these counties, for
without their interest and co-operation
such records could never
have been achieved."
Four of the 29 counties with
clean accident records for the

also had no traffic deaths in

Preparedness Moves
Washington, May 28.?Following
close upon the heels of Congressional
action in connection
with the mammoth re-armament
nrVii/>V< Piuntdowf Dftnon
yti- aui, vyixivu (tcwwcurtiwiicvelt
requested in his message to
Congress; the President has announced
that he is setting up
machinery which will co-ordinate
the forces of the nation
during the days to come. It was
pointed odt by the White House
that the Prehident is planning
a* master co-ordinating group to
assist in enlisting the full force
'Of the country in the carrying
out of the vast defense program
and at the same time, act as a
safeguard against the possibility
of the great changes which the
?armament is expected to bring
about from upsetting any gains
which have been made in the
social and economic structure of
-American life.
: Congress has just gone
through a week of top-speed activity
along the road toward rearmament
and has put its initial
approval upon a large portion of
Idie huge defense bill, costing
almost $4,000,000,000 for the next
fiscal year. The House and Senate
eased up in the work toward
the end of the week but came
back hard at the task at the
beginning of this week and their
activity in connection with the
huge expenditures and authori70
Hr?r? hills Is almost certain
to have them in the hands of the
President Jot the nation's defense
co-ordinating group would
have it patterned after the famous
council of national defense,
.which functioned during the
World War. Under this plan the
national - defense co-ordinating
group would make possible bring
ing the resources of transport,
communication, industry, finance,
.agriculture, labor and
sonawnea Je. act jn compete
cooperation toward the rearmament
program.
Stephen T, Early, White House
Secretary, pointed out that the
group-would-be used as an aid,
rather than . supersede any
Government r agency. He -said
that at present the plan was in
a formative state and that the
date and the personnel of the
organization had not as yet been
decided upon, Mr. Early said tnat
the group would -be comprised of
many persons from both public
and private life, but that, as yet,
it was too early to speculate on
who might be named co-ordlnator.
He emphasized, however,
that the group would be chosen
so as to be made up of those who
represented all phases of the
present pattern of Amerieau life.
Prom dally newspaper
accounts and almost hourly radio
resumes regarding the war
now raging in Europe, Americans
are being given what almost amounts
to a running account of his
tory in the making. Our position
at present may almost be cornspared
to our hearing a radio
blow-by-blow description of a
prize fight, the running of a
horse race or the broadcast of a
baseball gaine.
As we read the stories supplied
the papers and radio broadcasters
by the correspondents on the
scenes of the conflicts, we become
aware that new words, or
expressions, with which we are
not very familiar, are found in
these descriptions of events.
Two of the most familiar words
seen in ,war stories from day to
day atnft ones, which until
recently, none of us had ever
heard before. They are "blitzkrieg"-and
"fifth column". The
words are now becoming a part
of our daily newspaper vocabulary
and we begin to associate
them In some way with this war.
The word "blitzkrieg" is a German
word and translated literally
it means "lightning war".
Therefore, to hitler and his generals
it means <the swift, unexpected,
invasion of a country and
an^ advance toward military objectives
-with breath taking
speed It means the sending over
in waves- great swarms of divebombers,
then speedy mechanlzthiowert,
parachute troops
ed units, light tanks name

RED CROSS CALLS
FOR WAR MONEY
The American Red Cross is
.calling u^on the people of Ameri
ca for funds with which to carry
on relief work among the refugees
and sufferers from the great
war now raging in Europe.
Medical supplies, surgical supplies,
food, and clothing are
sorely needed. The call is insistent,
and the need is immediate,
if thousands are to be relieved of
the distress into which Hitler's
war has thrown them. Did you
ever see the roads of a nation
crowded with thousands of helpI
less, hopeless human beings,
plodding wearily before the dist1
ant thunder of the guns, which
herald the coming of the hordes
of military might? Their homes
have been ruthlessly destroyed.
Young women with their newborn
babies, old men tottering on
their sticks, old women, bent
beneath the weight of many
cares, children, who were happy
and carefree, a few days ago, all
of these go to make up this
chrong of human misery. With
them in bundles upon their
backs, piled in wheel barrows, or
In baby carriages, are their few,
but precious belongings, which
they were able to salvage from
oheir shell-rocked and bombshattered,
simple homes, from
which they have been forced to
flee, as from the wrath of God.
t is twice within a quarter of a'
a century that this incredibly
1 cruel thing has happened to
' many of these people, and by, no
fault of their own.
The American people have at!
' no time failed to answer such aj
call of humanity in distress to |
f .he heart of our thrice-b}essed j
Chapter of the Red Cross has requested
Mr. M. D. Cowan, at tjie
Chamber of Commerce, to re"
ceive all monies for this purpose.:
The quota for this county ig
$300. That figure should be ex-!
ceeded within a few days. Bring,
' or mail your donations to Mr. M.
n Cowan, or to Mrs. D. M. Hall, !
' Roll Call Chairman, at Sylva. Do
it now. No one will make a per-?
sonal call on you. j

(B y Winnie Alice Murphy)
Cullowhee, June 4-^-The three
day commencemenH^ftttai of
Western Carolina ToaChert College,
which began Saturday even
ing with the annual commence- ment
concert, eame to a close-today
with the conferring of degrees,
the announcement p|
awards, and the Uterary address
by John Temple Graves II, edited
of the Birmingham AgerHera)d, *
and author of the' syndicated
daily column, "This Morning".
Dr. Graves, in the beginning of
his address, paid t^i^pte to the
founder of the college, the sturdy
people of Western North Carpr
lina, and tfie inimitable beauty
of the country in which they ttrf.
He explained that because pf itf . .
beauty he had spent fifteen funir
mers hit thi? section of Npfth C^i
olina.
He expressed the idea t?at if
he were a violin upon1 which th
songs and melodies, dreamsand .
hopes of the graduating riafs.of
their parents, a$d of tfie ones
who made up the c^ege,
be played, his would be todfeeda
magnificent symphony. This
class, he afserted,was> about S9
go into a world t?at is morechal
lenging, more exciting, and more
uncertain than it h&?p^tn at
any other period in the history
of man.
In discussing conditions in Europe,
Dr. Graves stressed the importance
of America -helming
prepared to the utmost, ^without
giving way to fear, fiate, pf jis.teria.
He then taft&f of th^ Atian
tic ocean as a nis^Ao^fUfiway
oyer w$ic? we
help tp democ^^
ever, he added the hope that our
attention to
make tt unpewgawy to .
soldier acrospthe^iea pr to sh<$
a single man's bipod pvertfaerp.
Although it is ?t$y
the fact that no one wan^ ip d^e,
Dr. Graves declared, we rpij^b ppt
be lead into thin^g^'th^^twe
have nothing worth dying /pr.
The speaker then expressed $
thankfulness for the expanse of
the broad ajpd deep Atlantic,
the time, however brief/that we
shall have In which tp /Orttfy
ourseiyef. The speaker jpo^nte^
out the wisdom of pur finding
out the most vutoec^e?{ffc^
in our country and safthflf^judb
ing them.
Patriotism, at such Umes ap
these, he observed, bbtn of f&i
and hate, flan\e$

profit and- pleasure rather than
being turned loose to destroy our
civilization and us
Greater and more important
than any defense program which
can be launched by a gWrn|
ment, Mr. Graves told Wr audience,
is the spirit of ft* ?*00It,
The spirit of a Hbdrtyalovtag
people like that of Poland; Finland,
Belgium, and others cannot
be killed, he said; although
crushed, it'will rise, frhoezfixlike,
from its ruins.
The worst thing Adolph Hitter
has done to us> so far, the speaker
asserted, is to make as su*pic

people must remember,'such'is
the ratio of injustice, tfeat^ut of

The most ridiculous part of t '
the whole crisis, he maintained,
however, is the fact thatmany '
