I i In a recent speech, Hitler referred to the Devil as j being opposed to Germany. Well, that makes it un-1 animous. The Administration and the Farm Block both I claim the victory in the fight over the farm parity ' section of the anti-inflation legislation. So that j should make everything rosy in Washington. After 11 all, the best legislation is compromise. That is the j case of the Constitution of the United States. It was j a compromise between the Jeffersonians and the * Hamiltonians. u c Jackson county is close to the war, even if we ? trust the war won't come any closer to Jackson coun- 11 tv Vpst.prrlfiv afternoon's naner carried a Dicture of v J. B. Crisp, stating that he is missing in action, side s by side with a news story from London about Norway, 0 with a by-line carrying the name of John Parris. The s current issue of Look has several pages devoted to v pictures and story about Otil Lail, and so on, as Jackson folks play their part at home and abroad. E OVER THE RIVER e v Thejast of the noble band of men who marched 1 forth from Jackson's valleys and coves to Old Virginia and Tennessee in the sixties has answered the call l to "cross the river and rest in the shade of the trees," o with Marse Robert and Stonewall Jackson, two of the ^ world's mightiest warriors, most gallant gentlemen, jj and devout Christians. i( On last Sunday morning Jackson county's grand old man, Elbert Watson, the last of her Confederate t soldiers, heard assembly sounded and went forth d to join his comrades. J Few men have the privilege of spending almost c a century in service here. Elbert Watson lacked but five months of a century of service. Few men are priv- c ileged to live through and take part in the history!1 of this State and nation for so long and with such \ understanding. He volunteered in the service of North \ Carolina at the beginning of the war and was in active i service through its four yea^s. He saw the gallantry < of the armies of the South and their matchless com-11 manders. He saw the horrors of the reconstruction, i, He saw his State rise from the ashes and take its place j j as one of the leaders of the Union. He saw the First ji /World War and the sons of the mountains go forthM to win immortal glory, and lived into the Second 1 World War. In all of these events and more he was interested and he understood the issues and the dan- J gers. In every place he played the part of a great and i good man. The last of those sons of this county who loved ( the South and fought for her, and who we were wont 2 to see as leaders in the affairs of State, and county, ( has gone from us. They laid the foundation upon j which we have builded, and the foundation was good, i It brings a sadness to know that the Gray Army has j vanished into the Somewhere. Not one is now left to j remind us of what stout hearts and great faith can and did accomplish in war and in peace against great \ odds. Elbert Watson was the last. ; In peace and in war, at home, in the public af- j fairs, about his home and homely duties he always ! played the part of a man, an humble faithful man. And- this marked him as a great man, for humility , and a recognition of the majesty of the homely are the sure earmarks of greatness. He had a keen mind, a stout heart, a great faith.. He came to be to many people of the younger generation hereabouts, the living symbol of the Confederacy. He has earned his rest. As the last of the Confederates passed from among us of the mountains of Jackson, a new generation of her sons, with like faith, with like love of home and liberty, are following in the footsteps of their heroic fathers and are writing new chapters in new stirring times. Theirs is a mighty heritage. They are proving that they are worthy of their sires. i \ , I .

Four floors below us, two lady ! lieutenants are busy recruiting 1 ither ladies who wish to join the Vomen's Army Auxiliary Corps, .nd one of the lieutenants is Parian L. MacAdam, former res- | dent of Greensboro. However, Lt. MacAdam reports hat North Carolinians generally lon't know much about the VAAC's and she was delighted to earn we were willing to tell all lown in the Old North State. "One thing we want to impress >n all the women in the country s that as WAAC's they will be ulfilling an urgent need in our 1 irmed forces today, because each iVAAC is specifically trained to elieve some man from non:ombat duty so that he can go nto actual fighting." Lt. MacAdam feels that as soon is American women realize that ;he WAAC's are in the army for Dusiness, not for publicity or ?rivolity, more patriotic-minded vomen will enlist. The base training period for ill WAAC's is four weeks. Specialized training takes from 8 :o 20 weeks longer. The women ire then sent in companies all )ver the world. They fill clerical, idministrative, engineering, and ^ther positions. The qualifications for enlisting in the women's auxiliary are not too strict, she said. One must be in good physical condition and must be adaptable mentally. "I believe the girls in the auxiliary are the cream of American womanhood," she said. "They are all tops in their professions and are women of accomplishment. Most of them have had college training. All are topnotch phycically and mentally."
