NATIONAL EDITORIAL wt- a vvrir i a in )t 'tin - 4UmtA- North Carolina kA 'PfESS ASSOCIATION y THURSDAY, MAY (i, 1915 (One Day Nearer Victory) An Urgent Call We had a visitor at The Mountaineer of fice duriiiK the week, a patriotic woman, who is lendiiiK every etlort toward war work. She is serving' as chairman of the surgical dressings committee of the Hay wood Chapter of the Red Cross. In addition to the hours and hours she is giving to the work, she has two sons in the service. "We are just desperate at the Red Cross surgical rooms for workers," was her open ing appeal. "The paper has been generous with pub licity in the past and we appreciate it, but isn't there something more you can give us? Can't you make the people realize how important this work is. We all know that the second war loan will finance an inten sive fighting effort," she said. "We also know that with the fighting there will be wounded men. These men will need the very bandages made right here in our own Haywood County Red Cross Chap ter rooms. We can have a part in this vital war effort, and without even leaving the comforts of home we can lend a hand on the fighting front," she continued. "I know this is a busy time of the year for the women, with spring cleaning and gardening, but our boys in service are not letting their jobs they left back home in terfer with their war efforts, and we are going to have to concentrate ourselves on the war from now on. Other things will have to fall back to second place," she said. With the record of volunteers from this area among the men now in the armed forces this appeal puts the women in our community on the "spot". We feel sure that the lull in attendance at the Red Cross rooms will be only temporary and that after the first Spring cleaning and gardening jobs are well underway they will return in in creased numbers to the rolling of band ages. As the chairman pointed out, we all fear that the bandages will be greatly need ed, for the summer months will no doubt record some of the hardest combat activities ever written on the pages of history. WhaVs the Answer! We noticed with interest the following in a state paper dated April the 29th: "All was harmony in Raleigh yesterday. Hoey and McDonald who were bitter op ponents for Governor in 1936 and would not have been seen together for pay, were the center of the same laughing, admiring group in the lobby, composed of State of ficials, all of whom are expected to support Hoey, but who have not yet taken a public stand in the Senatorial race. Cherry passed by and received cordial greeting from all and sundry." This is the time of year when the house wife, intent on early housecleaning, dis covers that the paperhanger can come the first week in July if he finishes his other jobs on time. Rhubarb, it seems, is not nearly as popu lar this Spring as before sugar rationing. Somehow or other, maple syrup doesn't seem to add the right flavor. As far as amateur sports are concerned, most of those who stay at home will have to be content with observing high school football and tract meets and be glad of the chance. Future Purchasing Power The Department of Commerce offers an encouraging picture of the reservoir of purchasing power after the war ends. The department claims that "potential markets for civilian goods are developing so widely as to almost guarantee a post-war period of unprecedented prosperity, with a national income as high, or higher than to day and very little unemployment." The department also points out that the realization of this peacetime prosperity "will rest entirely on the shoulders of business" and it urges business organizations, both large and small to begin now to make plans with that in view. "The big demands for civilian goods after the war will be accompanied by an un precedented purchasing power," the depart ment said in a report on "Markets after the War." The report also brought out the fact that once the war is over a great number of the people will cash their war bunds and will buy homes, cars, refrigerators and count less other things which they now have in mind to buy with their savings. We hear evidences of such here in our own community. We constantly hear peo ple saying, "when the war is over, we are going to build"; "when the war is over, we plan to make an addition"; "when the war is over, we want to do over the house"; "well, this old car will have to do, but just you wait until the war is over, and we will ride in something worth looking at then"; and the rush for the nylon stocking counters when that great day of peace arrives will no doubt be in mob effects for many moons, until production can swing into speed to meet demands.

Garbage Versus Calories We are told that Federal authorities are getting headaches over food shortages of "many kinds and varying degrees." They are bothered about getting enough to share with hungry allies overseas. They are point ing out that if Americans would only cut their waste in half our food problems would be solved. The following figures are rather stagger ing. Last year six per cent of our food is said to have gone for Lend-Lease; seven per cent to our armed forces; while 15 per cent went into garbage cans, or other wast ed forms. These estimates have been vouched for by the Minneapolis Star-Journal and Trib une in staking a "Clean Plate Club", an anti waste movement, for the nation. When the subject got warmed up, the civilians hearfng fabulous tales of how the armed forces were fed took a shot at the army.

The public never knows what it wants until it has got it. amounts of food no matter what they liked or disliked and the record showed the fol lowing rejections: Kale was refused by 75 per cent; the garbage can got 56 per cent of the spinach; 55 per cent of bean stew and 35 per cent of coffee was left untasted by the boys. The average discard of vege tables was put at 38 per cent and the waste of meat at 18, with liver up to 24 per cent. Men were often absent from meals but their food was prepared. Much of this waste is said to have been eliminated. The soldiers are being given more of what they will eat and less of what they refuse. The Quartermaster General, Major Gen. E. B. Gregory, has assured the government committee investigating the food waste that camps would be watched and close checks made in all mess halls. For the civilian it will be left to their own conscience. Not only for patriotic rea sons, but also for the pocketbooks, the civil ian should be happy to lend cooperation in this matter of waste, and see that the garb age cans do not get too big a share of calories. Mother meant to us from the very beginning . . . childhood and its joys and tragedies at which we smile as we remember how trivial and yet how important at the time they seemed . . . then comes the years of adolesence . . . we had a kind of forced independence . . . but when we met a real decision, we rushed back to mother, proving that we were not yet ready to take life . . . then the years came in swift precession when we had to stand alone . . . but even then, we had her on the side lines cheer ing for us . . . and always her sup port and reassurance to give us courage to go forward. . .
