BIBLE THOUGHT See that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeem ing the time, because the days are evil. Epbesian 5:15,16. . He why wishes to know the, road through the mountains must ask those who have already trodden h. Chinese Proverb. Two Thanksgivings Again POR practical purposes, the 16 states that are holding out against the t majority on the date for Thanksgiving, are finding two celebrations a bit inconvenient. In the first place, all government offices will close for the holiday on the day appointed by the president the third Thursday. Then in the case of faniilies separated and living in different states, getting together is. made difficult when different days are celebrated. Children at school in Georgia or 'New York, for instance, miss Thanksgiving al together when they come home to North Carolina. These are only a few examples. The third Thursday has been adopted, not because President Roose velt has arbitrarily proclaimed it, but because it better suits the schedule of a greater number of the people today. We hope that North Carolina will swing into line next year, and that in this, as well as other things, the minority will abide by the will of the majority. This is good sportsmanship "the Amer ican way." The First Draft TWO ' months after President Roosevelt signed V the peace-time conscription bill the first in the nation's history the selective service, plan of recruiting a great civilian army begins to operate. Thousands of these men who are first to go to camp are volunteers who signed up for service without waiting for a possible call by their draft board. Owing to the large number . of volunteers, the number expected to be called has been greatly reduced. The American people may well be thankful for the wise action of their government in setting up this orderly and democratic method of calling and training citizens for defense. The ready response and cooperation of all in answering this call is as surance of the nation's approval of this draft law. Many lessons have been learned from World War I, and timely steps taken so there will be no repetition of conditions caused by hurried muster ing of thousands of men in cantonments built. under necessity for rapid mobilization of a civilian army. With the present setup there is a minimum of op portunity for favoritism in calling men to service. The influential who would seek exemption for their sons will find it more difficult to secure an alibi. The nation is assured that every cafe will be taken to insure good living conditions and the gen eral welfare of the young men while in service. In deed, for most, this year will be one of training, discipline and strengthening that will make for bet ter men and citizens, rr This civilian army is one answer to Mr. Hitler. .Deplorable Affair ALL law-abiding citizens deplore the fighting on the Nantahala dam project which resulted in the headlong flight of a number of workers from the Northsome of them carrying the marks of personal encounters with local men. Whatever provocation any group of men may have had, or thought they had, against workers coming from another part of the country, fist fighting and throwing men and automobiles into the river are acts that cannot be justified on any count. ' Those who, let their resentment against certain individuals condemn a whole group, and lead them to commit bodily and property injury to innocent strangers, do a grave injustice to their own people, much greater than any injustice they may have suffered from those they have sought to punish. One of the first thoughts that came to many was that our men in the western part of the state have been going to New York for several years to work on construction jobs on account of the good wages, and they have had fair treatment from their North ern brethren. Another by-product of this affair is the financial loss to all concerned in the resultant closing down of the project. The fact that extra highway patrolmen had to be called to help keep order up in the corner where Swain, Cherokee and Macon meet, has given these counties gome highly undesirable publicity. Along the Concrete Sit : iunttatVM Methodist Women Hold Zone Meeting The Woman's Society of Chris tian service held a meeting for the officers of the Macon Zone of the Methodist church at the Franklin Methodist church Wednesday after noon. ,The devotional w-as led by" the president, Mrsi Fred Slagle, after which Mrs. Carl S. Slagle brought messages and instructions from the district meeting held in Bryson City and Waynesville recently. A found table discussion and questions of the new work were discussed by members and officers attending. This proved a great help to all in the new arrange ment of service groups in the con solidation of the Methodist churches.
