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 'elock, the Softball team of the inishing " epartment of the Champion Fibre Company, Canon, will play the Sylva Paper? * rrn )oara company s ream. ine <^au 6n and Sylva teams are leaders n thier respective leagues.

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 j Burrell Preaches To Training School Class i The baccalaureate sermon for the seniors of the training school at Western Carolina Teachers College was delivered by Dr. W.
