PAGE TWO THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN THURSDAY, SEPT. 3, 1942 The Home Front Now vc arc doing what we said we would do we're fighting the enemy wherever he is to be found afloat, ashore and aloft, on 'all the Seven Seas and in the far places of the earth. Our troops roared through the surf at Dieppe with their brothers of Canada and their cousins of Britain, and on that day our bombers were over the Egyptian desert, our planes were fighting the Japanese in China, our Marines were fanning out from beachheads in the Sol omons, .and our envoys were map ping grand strategy at Moscow. We are entering upon that time for which we have impa tiently waited: a time in which we carry the offensive to our en emies. We do not have our ene my by the throat not yet but we have come to grips with him. The fight remains 'to be won, but the fight is under way ! Home Frotnt Mutt Not Falter! From now on, then, we, here at home, must redouble our ef fort, triple our vigilance in the tasks assigned to us. .'J 'he soldiers who make good our beachheads in Asia and in Europe are up held and supported by the united efforts of all of us. Let one of us falter or fail and the struc ture which maintains our arms is weakened. The mechanism of the Home Front is a complex mechanism. Materials, production, distribu tion, the system of rationing and of controlling, prices, the program for salvage all these and much else, too, combine to make the cogs and gears and wheels which keep us rolling. For weeks and months, now, it has been increasingly apparent that one vital part of this .com plicated machine is not working properly. We are short of ma terials, and that shortage be comes more disturbingly appar ent every day: That shortage extends beyond the mere need for civilian restrictions it is' af fecting the armed services. A short while ago t'he War Pro duction board issued an order forbidding use of rubber in many military products, including cart- ridge clip boxes and gun grips And last week, Wi'B restricted military uses of aluminum "to ! combat end-products for field or combat use" in order to insure that there will be enough alum inum for combat instruments. Home Front Rallies For Salvage The shortage of materials again emphasizes the need for saving materials and for salvage. You may be tired of hearing about salvage, you may be weary of collecting scrap and yet we cannot close our ears to the cry ing need for salvage we cannot stop hunting out the scrap with out risking failure and defeat. WPA workers, beating thy back roads of the farm country and digging old rails from city streets, have turned., up 100,000 tons of scrap metal 44,900 tons of it in the form of steel rails. Scrap rubber 454,155 tons of it is moving to reclaiming plants at the rate of 4,000 tons a day. In Washington the lure of brass bands and Hollywood screen stars set a pattern for, "Scrap rallies" to- be held throughout the coun try. WPB's Conservation division announced plans for a "Junior Salvage Corps" of school chil dren more than 30,000,000 of them to conduct a nationwide, house-to-house scrap canvass for two weeks beginning October 5. And. the American Legion is dis cussing with local governments a proposal so that old cannon balls and cannon and the howitzers of 1918 may be scrapped to make the giv)s and tanks and planes of 1943. Legion veterans have offered to give their own war relics relics which, melted in ' the furnaces and re-fabricated in the arsenals, will help arm their sons who fight today. All these enterprizes will help but they are not enough. Only if each one of us docs his part will we have enough barely enough for our needs. WPB Order Will Be Enforced At this moment when our troops arc fighting on world fronts and all of us are caught up in united effort, we cannot tolerate sly attempts to dodge the restrictions and the depriva tions most of us accept cheer fully. The person who tries to dodge rationing regulations, who tries to beat price and rent con trol, who thinks it smart to get illegally materials reserved for the armed forces that person is a saboteur as surely as though be had been landed on our coast from a Nazi sub. OPA has announced that dur ing a 10-week period beginning August 23 ad ending October 31, ration stamp number eight will be good for five pounds of sug ar. That is more sugar than has been asigned to any previous tamp, but it if a longer ration period, too. All But Totally Unfit Men Now Face Military Service WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 The Selective Service system recently abolished its "Limited Service" Class 1-H, the group with minor physical defects, and ordered all but the totally u.riifit reclassified as available for military service. Nearing exhaustion of the pool of l-A registrants, those. free of any known physical handicaps and ,not deferred from-active duty for any other reason, the Army recently called for induction, of men from the 1-B class. This decision, resulting in fill ing local draft quotas with 1-A and 1-B registrants, has made the latter classification meaning less for all practical purposes of the Selective Service system, and its members will either be placed in 4-1', if totally unfit for service, or shifted to 1-A. The order is effective at once, said an announcement by Selec tive Service headquarters, but the reclassifying of men in this group will begin September 1, to be completed W New Year's day. Not more than one-fourth of the 1-B registrants in any local board area are to be shifted to Class 1-A in any single month. When members of this group are reclassified they will be sent to induction centers, as local boards fill their quotas, and the Army will decide after their in duction whether to assign them to full or limited duties. In the reclassification process, the men will be re-examined by the local draft board physicians to determine whether there are any physical deficiencies which would prevent them from per forming any military service. If such defects are discovered, the registrants will be placed in Class 4-F. While physical deficiencies were the only basis for assigning, men to Class 1-B in the original clas sification, the local iboard here warned that their- status may have changed since that time, arxl possible deferment for de pendency, family relationship or occupation should be considered in each case. The change also will have a limited effect on some conscien tious objectors. Those previously classified 1-B-O, fit for limited service in noncombatant units, or 4-E-Ls, fit for limited service in civilian Yprk camps, now will be classified g-A-0 if fit . for non combatantervice, or 4-E if fit for induction into work camps. If physically disqualified for ei ther type of service, they will be classified 4-F.

'Phone 24 The Franklin Press Printer and Publishers W.C.T.C Meets Many War Needs With its program drastically revised to meet the needs of a nation at war, Western Carolina Teachers' college expects to make a distinct contribution to the war effort this year. According to President H. T. Hunter, major emphasis this year will be placed in naval reserve training which permits young men to take work at the college which will prepare them as officers m the Navy and give them a de ferred status in the armed forces while in college. The physical fitness program will prepare both young men and young women for wider partici pation in military and industrial occupation through intramural sports, organized drill and the elimination of individual physical defects. The business courses are set up to train the students in the short est possible time for office posi tions with military services, gov ernment agencies and private businesses. With the shortage of teachers caused by the war situation, the college feels that it is particular ly important this year to prepare as large a number of teachers as possible to help maintain the educational services of the state. Separate courses will be offered leading to certificates for high school, elementary and primary teachers. Among the young people who are planning to attend the col lege from this district at the opening of the Fall quarter Sep tember 8, are Robita Baldwin, Helen Browning, Bobbie Carpen ter,' Mary Raby, Mattie Pearl Raby, Clayton Ramsey, Anne Ray, Iva D.
