Pace 6 T&E WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER (One Day Nearer Victory) THURSDAY, APrh " 91 Scholarship Plan To Boost Wartime Harvest Launched Haywood county farm young sters were invited this week to compete in a $6,000 wartime food production and marketing contest sponsored by the National Junior Vegetable Growers Association. Registration blanks and details regarding the program in this county may be obtained from H. R. Clapp, of Waynesville, farm demonstration agent, according to L. R. Harrill, of Raleigh, state 4-H Club leader. "One objective of the program is to help offset critical shortages of adult farm labor by stimulating actual production of food by work ers under draft age," Harrill ex plained. "The second objective is to help acquaint farm youngsters with efficient methods of market ing, because supplying the nation with food in war or peace depends on moving food rapidly and eco nomically to the right place, at the right time and in the right condi tion." Entries from this county will compete for a $500 grand national award, a Southern states regional award of $200 and ten sectional awards of $100 each from a schol arship fund.

RECOMMENDS "CROAT AN" I Editor The Mountaineer: j I've just finished reading "Croa tan" and I think it ought to be I required reading for every Tar j Heel whose ancestors settled in I these parts in such large numbers, j It tells the story of the English j folk who dared the ocean in the j ships Lion, Rosemary and Little j Bess to come here and settle on j Roanoke Island off our eastern j coast where they lived until the : wai l ike Usheeres or Roanoke In- j dians attacked them. The friendly Croatans, a part of the Cherokee 1 Indian nation, persuaded the pale ; faces to go inland with them to the hills and mountains where j they could live peaceably. This the settlers decided upon as Eng- j land had not sent over any sup- plies and settlers as she promised to do because of her war with I Spain. The settlers knew they j could not survive another Indian attack, Many of us who are descended from those who settled here long before the Revolution undoubtedly have some Cherokee blood trick ling through our veins. I should b.v glad to know that I was blood kin to Hooting Owl, Walking Stick, and Standing Deer who live over at the Indian Reservation now. The Cherokees have always been a friendly farming people and right nice folks, if you ask me. I have always felt that the Cherokee Indians were treated damnably cruel by Andrew Jack son whose life was once saved by Chief Junaluska in the battle of Horseshoe Bend at Chattanooga. The Old Chief died of a ' broken heart for he believed Jackson when he told him that his people, the ! Cherokees, would never be sent ! j away from their beloved moun-! tains. Jackson didn't keep his j 1 promised to Junaluska, but had all '. of them removed, as you know. I That is, all but Chief ' Junaluska j j who refused to leave. The then , President Andrew Jackson gave 1 j special permission to the Old Chief to remain at home, saying that ; 1 Junaluska could live and die where 1 he damned please as he had saved ' his life at Horseshoe Bend. I Read Croat nn. It will fire the j imagination of every Tar Heel in North Carolina even though much of it is fiction. j GKRTIU'DF. Rl'SKIN. Editor of The Mountaineer: This is going lo be a different summer than we've had before -our "clientele" will, to a large ex ; tent, be of a different calibre. As i The Mountaineer so l ightly print ed recently, people are tired of i black-outs, confusion, congestion and maneuvers and war work physically and mentally tired. They are going to need a rest and complete change of atmosphere. Where could they find that better than in our peaceful mountains? We have that beauty to offer them. Also we have hotels, boarding houses, and good cafes. But they will need recreation, that is easily accessible -more particularly now that scenic drives are "taboo". What do we have to offer them in ; the way of diversion, whin their weariness is a bit appeased? Very little, we must admit. Isn't it ! about time our town woke up to the fact that we need a centrally located park, one within easy dis tance of the majority of our hos tel ries and stores? We have always needed a park, , ,i i i I $;; f -hjmhi winom vmm"f '" . f C fp W - TO HILP WIN THI BATTll of the food front, the Farm Security Admin istration if moving these farm families, 37 men and women, and 22 children, from West Va., to Stafford Springs, Conn.

There is just such a property off Main street that would make an ideal spot for not only our tourists, who love this city, but for the people, old and young, who live here and would also like a cool, shady place on hot summer days to visit, rest, read or have entertainment among themselvs. It is located light behind the Le Faine Motel and Courthouse and the extended parking grounds there, and extends to Branner ave nut. with beautiful trees growing there, an unsurpassed view of the mountains, and ground that at very little expense could be leveled for outdoor games, rest rooms, benches and tables. There will be young mothers with their growing kiddies and there will he older ones, who have not gone to war, who will appre ciate having a place to rest and enjoy the loveliness around them, who will enjoy outdoor games, and who will need these diversions to keep them peacefully settled while they are away from the rush and hustle of a war-ridden world. They will continue to come back here if we make it pleasant and attractive for them. Some of our neighboriug towns are extensively going into the , building of parks and recreational I ground;- for their guests and home folks. We would hate not to keep ! in step in advancing our attrnc j tions and commodities for the bene fit of all. It would be easily pos sible with the aid and backing of our local governmental agencies and our enterprising citizens to I procure this needed attraction and have it ready for use by the time the trains and buses begin to un ; load at this stop. i Our visiting colony will grow, i in war and peace and they need more than fresh air and beautiful j scenery.

THE SOUTH GETS BACK ITS FLAGS (The New York Times) Every now and then something happens to remind us that the War Between the States is over. It should be, of course, since Lee surrendered seventy-eight years ago next Friday. The current reminder- is the decision of the Wis consin State Legislature to return the captured battle flags of the Nineteenth Mississippi Infantry, the Mississippi Devils, the Pelican Rifles of Louisiana, the First Mis souri Cavalry, the Richland Rifles of Arkansas and the Cedar Creek Rifles of South Carolina. Some of those flag's were made by pretty vnonc ladies in crinoline and pre sented while the bands played and hopes ran high. When you read such books as Bell Irvin Wiley's current "Life of Johnny Reb" you seem to know those young ladies and those young soldiers and they aren't so different from today's boys in the GI suits, and the girls they go around with. That war was' a dark and ter rible valley of death, and the in dignities inflicted on the conquer ed afterward were darker and more terrible still. Some of the boys who carried the bright flags into Hction were killed, some died of camp diseases and wounds, some lived on in poverty. Even after three-quarters of a century and more it is not pleasant to think of it all, with the lives of men and women tattered just as the battle flags were. But this healing fact remains: honor fought on both sides. The memory of Lee and Jackson is as truly an American memory as that of Lincoln and ('.rant. And this year's invasion of the South by hundreds oi thousands of Yankee troops adds up to something good and friendly for the united nation. Hut let us look another three quarters of a century ahead. Do we see Russia sending back the swastika banners taken in front of Stalingrad? Do we see the French returning the flags they will wrest from Nazi hands when the great retreat in the West begins. To ask such questions is to answer them. Our worst of wars carried its own redemption. The Lost Cause was noble in defeat. Neither eight decades nor eight centuries will lend nobility to the enemy we on his face -----j one today Tk 4 and Bars is revermri.V'M Madison, Wis., becau J Hi U1CU un,K swastika will h r'4l end of recorded t !m te Junior Dad, have eagles on them Father I think it swift flight. wty do TVnlw...
