ASSOCIATION THURSDAY, JANUARY, 23, 1941 IW The Home Guard We understand that twenty-five men vol unteered last Friday night for service in the home guard. With national guards in camp, even in peacetime it is necessary to have such groups in communities, in case of local dis turbances or disaster, that might call for more members in authority than the regular law enforcement officers now number. There is to be no compensation for services, the men will give their time for the protection of home, without the glory often attached to "serving in the army." The organization of home guards is part of the great national defense program, that when functioning in full blast, will be felt in every community in the United States. Since Waynesville has been selected as one of the headquarters for a home guard unit In the state, we are glad that the call has been answered with such a fine initial res ponse, and we feel sure that the required number will be enlistd in short order. Home guards are proving to be of vital and increasing importance in modern warfare methods, and seems to be as necessary as the front line defense. the State provided school term a nine months term. Before such a bill could be put into effect, it will be necessary to revise the report of the appropriations committee. In the fetter's report just submitted, no expense was provided for in excess of the 8 months term. It is estimated tnat approxi mately $2,500,000 additional funds would be required in the event the bill is passed. Just where this much additional revenue will come from is a problem for the legislators now in session to work out. There are many reasons why North Caro lina should have a 9 months school term. Teachers, educational authorities, and school patrons have felt the need with a growing concern. The argument most often offered is the matter of better preparation. A definite course of study is mapped out by the edu cational authorities for each term, and the teachers and pupils must speed up in eight months what should effectively be covered in nine months. They are of one accord that this method defeats the desired thorough mastery of subjects. While the majority seem inclined to urge a nine months term as the first step, there are others who would rather have a 12th grade added." There is something to be said on each side. The proponents of the idea of increasing the number of grades, argue that many students are now being sent from high school to col lege, not only inadequately prepared, but also; too young to grope with the complexities of- Uad to . . . only a very our larger institutions of learning. few fortunate ones enjoy that KIND OF STRIKING NEEDED RIGHT NOW HER E and TH E R E By HILDA WAY GWYN . . i a Voice OF THE People What do you think about tkt organization of a home guard for naynetvuuT J.

A similar campaign staged here in Western North Carolina with apples would do much towards getting our own people eating some of the best apples grown in America, Numerous letters have been received since the holidays from people who received Hay wood apples for Christmas, stating that the flavor of these apples were superior to any that they had ever eaten before. We know of the Michigan authority on apples, who made puch a similar statement. As far as we are concerned, it would be easier to eat off the -bumper crop of apples than peanuts, and yet the campaign with pea nuts is reported to be taking every form of success, which means that the same thing could be accomplished with Western North Carolina apples. act Mas "j. . , - . .
