First, the neutral ship, Zamzam was sunk, sailing; the Sou& Atlantic from the ijnitea amies 10 a neutral port in Africa, and American li^s were endangered. Then came " the sinking of the American merchantman, Robin Moor, also in the South Atlantic. American p|oteste to Berlin go unanswered 5 officially, though the unofficial spokesmen in Berlin and the, German press have been particularly insofept in regard to these (incidents. Then, within the last few days, the American destroyer, Greer, carrying mail to Icelaiid was attacked by a German -submarine, the American freighter, Steel Seafarerv was sunk by aircraft in the Red Sea, and the American ship, though registered from Panama, owned Americans an J with an American crew was sunk by an undersea craft, as she was enroute to Iceland. In other words the war against America has started. Just why Hitler chose this particular moment to initiate deliberate provocation of America, when he has the Russian Bear by the tail, is difficult to decipher, unless it be that he wishes to turn the attention of America toward the Atlantic and thus .relieve the pressure against his wavering partner, Japan. Bec that as it may, the war against America has definitely started. The shooting at us hss pegun. The freedom of the safes. perhaps the when the Greer dropped depth bombs back at the attacking submarine. Berlin impudently accuses President Roosevelt of deliberate provocation and prevarication. PRESIDENT Roosevelt returning to Washington from Hyde Park, where he buried his mother, Sara Delano Roosevelt, on Tuesday, will speak to the people of America and the world, Thursday night over the radio. There is much speculation as to what he will say, but it is generally agreed that the moment will be a momentous one. Isolationists are in a dither; but the rest of us expect him to reaffirm the American policy of freedom of the seas, our right to ply the high seas with our warships and our commerce, that the seas are as much ours as anybody's and that we do not propose to be driven from them by any waring nation, with the further assurance that American ships, American nationals, and Ameri? -?nrv.fc win hp nrotected by Uttii 115itVU the American government. For, it is stated in the preamble to the Constitution that the purpose of' forming this Union of States, is to "form a more perfect union, provide for the common defense, and promote the general welfare." LENINGRAD still holds out, with thousands of civilians filling the ranks of its defenders, whole German artillery shells the city of more than three million people, and German planes ceaselessly bomb it. Berlin as(serts that the ancient capital of Peter the Great, the city of Lenin, is doomed. The people of Leningrad swear that they will defend it to the last drop of blood. Odessa way to the southern end of the long battle line, is also beseiged. But, in the center of the line a massive RiSsian counter offensive, daily gaining momentum, is battling the Ger1 mans to break the center and thus force retreats from both ends of the| line. That great bat tie, while not as spectacular as the seige of Leningrad, is the one that military observers throughout the world are watching. It is comparable to the Battle of the Somme in 1914, which checked the Germans, and (Continued on page 2) ' / T ; " i , I V ...1 ' J, pi; v ! ;' ' r -'V.& "... i* ^..^vf.

Harris, it was stated, furnishes the hospital with, light and fuel, and has occasionally made other donations, but these in no way* approximate the cost of maintenance of the hospital. Last year, the audit shows that the net operating loss amounted to $1,104.46. Although the hospital is a community hospital, and belongs to all the people of Jackson county, neither the county nor the town of Sylva makes a donation to Its maintenance or support, except that the town furnishes free water, which amounts to $120 a year. It is a non-profit organization, owned by the people of Jackson county, and operated for them^by a Board of Trustees, yyii^ ill iiii i" if 11 aMa', -/ Ito. every one of whom .serves without compensation.

The physical property, which belongs to the people of Jackson county, is valued at $63 600.00. It jost the people nothing, for Col. Harris bought it and gave it to the people of this county, several ears ago. Various individuals and organizations have from time to time made donations of equipment.

The hospital does not belong to the doctors and the nurses any more than the court - ' S house belongs to the lawyers and the officials, or the school houses, to the teachers.

For every case that the iDuke Foundation helps to pay, jit was stated, the hospital loses $3.58, because the cost of hos ! pitilization is $4.58 per aay, ana ithe Duke Foundation pays only Rules Of The Road i - Sec. 104, Motor Vehicle Laws of North Carolina:- "Whenever any person driving a vehicle approaches a highway and interurban or steam railway grade crossing and a clearly visible and . positive signal gives warning of the immediate approach of a railway train or car, it shall ' be* unlawful for the driver of the vehicle to fail to bring the vehicle to a complete stop before traversing such grade crossing." This means that you are required by law to come to a full !stop at all railroad crossings where a light or bell device warns of the approach of a train. You also are required to stop at crossings marked by an official eight-sided, black and i yellow STOP sign, whether any 1 automatic signal device is presi ent or not. Of course, all school trucks, and passenger buses are ^ ? required to come to a complete ' stop at all railroad crossings.

In other words, share the road. ; Don't drive on the other fellow'9 half of the highway. I
