' NATION AL'CDITOWAl Commander Reed We took great pride last week in reprint ing the story of Lt. Commander Minthorn Reed, U. S. Air Corps, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Reed, which appeared in The Boston Post. We feel that his recent placement in charge of the New England states is the result of his record in the service. He would never have been given this responsible post had he not deserved it through his achieve ments in the service. We folks back in his home town have followed his career with interest and pride. No matter how high his rank is, he will alwavs be "Mint Reed" to those who have known him all his life. One thins: we have noticed with apprecia tion is his loyalty to his native town. There is never a story about Commander Reed, and he has made news many times since he ontppwl i Vie service, that leaves out the fact that he is a native of Waynesville. , THE 'wki WHO WOULD PLAY HAMLET r 'PPFSS ASSOCIATION' THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1942 Blackout The cooperative manner in which the com munity entered into the blackout Monday night which covered an area of 19 counties in Western North Carolina was significant in many ways. Leading all others was the spirit of follow ing instructions given by the government. We feel very safe up in these hills and most of us are confident that we will never have need for anything but a make believe prac tice, but no one knows what might happen. The recent blackout was very different from the first. Lights went out almost in stantly; checking by the air raid wardens was both easier and more efficiently car ried out; and there was a spirit of reality about the whole thing that did not attend the initial event. A great deal has happened since the first blackout. We are now facing a long and serious war and our viewpoint has under gone a tremendous change since then, which was shown in the fine' spirit of cooperation. Sentences Passed We are glad that the sentences have been passed on the eight saboteurs. We feel that the majority of Americans are relieved that the trial is over and the matter closed. The manner in which the government conducted the investigation and the subse quent trial when justice was meted out should inspire Americans with confidence. In hasty action and immediate execution of the men much valuable military informa tion would have been lost. We approve the secrecy that was thrown about the investigations and the evidence brouerht out in the trial. At 'a critical time like this, it is not a wise policy to make pub lic matters of such arrave concern. "Who knows what dangers may have been averted by the information gained during the weeks the men were held pending their trial. The exposure of this information might have been as helpful to the enemy as to this country. : There is too much at stake now for mistakes, and regardless of how impatient we might be for speedy action in such affairs, cautious delay often proves the better policy. :, , " Rambling Around Bits of this, that and the other picked up here, there and yonder. Voice OF THE People Uful one in spring Jf j are the "cran-u.- l , i8sl yard of Mr. and Mrs . on Church street. The .il'. n van think the Allies will open up a second front this year? uv.vpr w. McCracken "It looks like we will have to start a second front in the near future." JamM C. Moore "Yes, I think they will, because of the concen tration of troops in the British Isles." HERE and THERE By HILDA WAY GWYN Mia Anne Albrieht -"I would not be surprised if they start a sec ond front before the year is out. I think the Engish and the Amer o roarlv to co. T believe however, in being well prepared before they start." W. I.. Hardin "From what I read in the papers, it seems to me that the armies are being organ ized to that effect." We have never done such a thing before in this column ... we hope the editor is in a meuo.w mood . . . otherwise he might dis card our copy with a shrug . for this entire space is Deing tie voted to V story we heard this week ... and a love story at that. August War Information Center We wish to call your attention again to the War Information Center in the Waynes ville Public Library, which officials from the state library commission and the state PWA by which it is sponsored, state is one of the best in Western North Carolina. Every week the program changes and in formation is offered on a new phase of the war. With each presentation there is a wealth of material in books and pamphlets, sent here from the University and govern ment agencies. While there are other mater ials of general subjects concerning the war on hand at all times. The public is invited to inspect the ma terial and make use of it, as it has been placed there for their convenience and information. Find Something More This scrap business in the United States is taking on formidable terms. ' It is be coming a very large ' prt in our national defense. It is teaching us thrift with a new meaning. We have often heard it said that people of other nations could live on America's scraps. We seem now to be proving the truthfulness of the statement, the salvaging of our waste, v At first none of us took the matter as seriously as we might. Now we are told to go look again and see if we did not over look something valuable in that pile of junk. Recently President Roosevelt made an appeal to every family in the country to "make another check up and another contribution- to the national cause. While our individual household search may not result in much, if it -is multiplied by something from every household in the country, the total will amount to an enormous salvage heap. ' We are told that a broken lawn mower can be transplanted into a half dozen three inch shells ; an ash can means two machine guns; an old wash pail will produce three bayonets, and a discarded garbage can be comeswhen the government gets it 1,000 cartridges. A leaky garden hose may recap an essential jeep tire. I In the month of August nature reaches the full maturity of its production in this area. This year there seems to be an un usual bounty of fresh vegetables and fruits. Even nature seems to be doing her part in this critical era. The conservation of food in this year of bountv cannot be too strongly stressed We do not know what the coming year will brinir to us. The armed forces must have the cream of the food supplies. The civilian must take what is left. We realize that the rationing of sugar has curtailed the conservation of the usual amount of fruits in various forms, but after, all, the greater part of the canning done in this section does not require sugar Vegetables and soup mixtures that can sup plement the winter menus are not aKtectea by any rationing program as yet. This is one way the thrifty housewife can aid in defense. We hope the pantry shelves of the Hay wod folk will "groan under the weight of their plenty."

MARRIAGES Sugar For Canning-Liquor With sutrar sales running three times jiormal in Shelby stores it is evident that ra- ;.tioninir of that commodity has failed of its purpose hereabouts. Undoubtedly less sugar would be sold, on the basis of past experience, lad there been no tampering. A painful attendant of the rationing is trhe fact that moonshiners aren't suffering nearly so much as some families which feel he Dinch of reduced suerar supply. The abnormally heaw drain of suerar al Hegedly for canning purposes is partly find' ing its way to support the illicit whiskey manufacturers. The moonshiners at first scotched themselves with as heavy sugar supplies as they could get; it is evident, ac cording to authentic reports, that they have inveigled their trade, both white and black, to cret maximum sucar Quotas for tannine and persons who never in the past did any canning are cashing in their sugar for profit in many instances. . We don't know what can be done about it, perhaps nothing, but the condition has a worse kick than any corn "likker" that will come from it. Shelby Daily Star.
