THURSDAY, MAY Face 8 THE WAYNESVOLB MOUNTAINEER D. J. Boyd Returns From Regional AAA Conference (Continued from pa 1) ia producing most reach Britain safely and quickly if the United State ia to be defended. Elsewhere during- the conference, Mr. Boyd picked up authoritative figures which show that Britain imports of all products have drop ped' from the rate of 65 million tons per year pre war to 47 mil lion tons, due to shipping losses. Thirty-five million tons of omports have been regarded as the dan ger line, he said. Normal food imports have been at 22 and one half million tons per year, but this has been cout to 12 million tons. Recently, however, this amount was increased to 14 mil lion tons at the expense of muni tions imports, badly as they are needed, because of the growing food shortage, he explained. . Mr. Boyd brought home with him a copy of the secretary's address excerpts from which follow; "Speaking for myself, I would never ask the farmers of this country to grow more food for the British if I did not believe we would see that this food gets to the Brit ish. I don't believe the people of this country favor half-way meas ures. Let's do whatever is nec essary to see that our .food and munitions actually get to England and let's do it right away. The situation is urgent, terribly urgent. Our food and munitions must not only be produced, they must be delievered, and delivered in time. The American people face the de cision on this mattr now. We run risks if we insist upon de livery of our food and munitions to Great Britain, but any course we take involves risks. Half-way measures involve the worst risks. To put it bluntly? we had better take risks on getting aid to Eng land than to risk bombing raids on American cities, and tank at tacks on our own fields." . "From the outbreak of the sec ond World War, I have hoped with all my heart that the United States could remain at peace. But to refuse to take decisive and vigorous action to help Britain is no guarantee of peace. Frankly speaking, I see no course for the United States that gives any real promise of keeping us from be coming deeply involved in this world conflict To refuse to fight until an attack has been made upon us is no guarantee of peace. If anyone doubts that, let him ask the people of Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Greece and other coun tries under Nazi domination. It is acknowledged, I think, that Great Britain will go down unless the United States sees that she gets munitions and food. Does anyone believe that the fall of British ends the danger of war for the United States 7" "Once upon a time women and children behind fighting lines were reasonably safe. Now nothing Is safe.

Trained Nurses Are bpposesExdseTaxes urgea 10 Appiy 10 The Civil Service As a part of the Nationad De fense program months ago thu gov ernment began preparation to meet an anticipated need, for an unsu ally large number of nurses both in military and civil services. The government has recently announ ced open continuous examinations to secure nurses, but despite these examinations there is an acute shortage of nurses. The need now is urgent, and trained nurses are urged to make application- for examinations with the local post office or the secre tary of the Board of U. S. Civil Service Examiners, Washington, D. C. Two examinations are ODen. ac cording to the local pnat office. 1 One, under the title of "public i Health nurse," at $52,000 a year and another graduate nurse, at $1,800 a year for general staff duty. Applicants are not given a written examination, but are rated on their professional' training and Xi . v v ! $ 1 Stadium Is Far Ahead Of Average The stadium at the high school athletic field has just had an addi tion completed, giving a large concrete stadium facing oie of the best atletic fields in the state. The grounds used for baseball and softball play is rated as the best in Western North Carolina, while the turfted football field is said to be one of finest in use in the state by high schools. Both the ball and football fields are equipped for lighting at night, atics and outlaws, the machine threatens civilization. . Unless we find some way to end war, we might as well prepare for a return to barbarism. Does anyone think that the way to lasting peace is to give the dictators time to con solidate their gains, utilize their conquered reseources and then pre pare for the richest conquest of all the United States 1 Some per sons argue that no power or com bination of powers can conquer the United States provided we. stay at home and arm ourselves; Have the thought of the fact that, with Britain out of the way, the dic tator nations have resources and productive power greater than our own? ''In the light of the world situ ation, we have the choice of aban doning democracy, or making it triumphant over dictatorship. We cannot always play it safe. The time for dicision grows nearer every day. The farmers and peo ple of this country will soon have to decide what further steps are necessary to safeguard the Amer ican way of life." open is to the junior graduate nurse, with a sal ary of $1,600. This examination includes a written test. Government Calls For Skilled Labor For Defense Work The needs of various National Defense agencies for skilled work ers have increased greatly in the past few months. Hundreds of positions are as yet unfilled. The government has made dur ing the past eight months an in tensive effort to locate qualified skilled machinists and shipbuild ing workers for arsenals, army air depots and naval shore estab lishments. In this time the U. S. Civil Service has placed 10,000 skilled workers at locations where because of labor supply, these skill ed jobs have been hard to fill. This number does not include localities where little or no diffi culty is found in recruiting those with experience and is but a small fraction of the 270 000 workers that have been placed during the last 8 months. Applications for the3e positions at a navy yard should be filled with the labor board at the navy yard where employment is de sired, or for positions at an arse nal, with the secretary, Board of U. S. Civil Service Examiners at the arsenal in which employment is desired. President of the American Farm Bureau Federation in Washington, Edward A.
