HOME AGAIN! GLAD TO SEE YOU! Almost every day one meets a young man in uniform on the streets of our town. He looks fa miliarly strange to us. There is a glad, half-questioning look on his solemn face. Somehow one feels that he should act differently to wards this young fellow from the way he would other people. We have met several.of these young men our boys who have just returned to the old home community and their folks. His nature is unchanged. But he has seen and experienced things most of us older ones never have nor never will see or know. He has faced death. He has probably had a consciousness of the pres ence and reality of God that few of us who “stayed by the stuff” have ever known. We tell these boys that we are glad to see them, to have them home again, to drop around and see us, and a lot of other common place things we might say to any one we had not seen for some time. We take is for granted that they are much like the boys we knew a year or three years ago, so approach them thus. Some of these days we may ask to know some things our curiosity moves us to ask now, but just now we are more concerned to let them know they have come back to the same sort of folks they are and that we propose to jet civil life take hold so far as we can where they left it. We invite them to church and Sunday School—plac es they did not have in war, but things they need as much as the rest of us. We want to leave out as nearly as possible the word war and all that goes with it. One young fel low put it this way when a clerk could not understand why he wanted to go game hunting: "You see I warit to shoot at something without being shot at.” If one of these boys comes your way, be glad to see him. Let him talk all he wants to, without too much cu riosity or too many questions. If you can give him something he has been missing a long time, give it. But for his sake let’s not make him live the war over again. Let him have peace for a while. IT’S PEACE, NOT WAR, NOW A young woman. 22 years old, is being tried in Germany for beating prisoners in her charge with a braided celophane whip. She admitted that she thrashed prisoners because “they behaved like animals”. She was a super visor who had orders from high er authority to give the victims the last two lashes. She was paid $3.00 a week as supervisor. Her defense cited among other things that punishment of prisoners was done by whipping in the United States, saying this was even prac ticed in North Carolina? We know this to be a fact. And even worse things occurred in our state that were far more inhuman in the results than simple lashing BEST “HOME GROUND” MEAL CORN AND FEED MILLS Will Buy Your Wheat or Trade Flour For It.

But only “the lowest grade prisoners” may receive corporal punishment. Just why only low grade prison ers may be flogged we do not know. We believe-those responsible for the awful suffering and death of prisoners in detention camps should be punished in full for their cruel inhumanity.
