NATIONAL EDITORIAL- A1 WJSSOCIA I IUN North Carolina i 'MESS ASSOCIATION) THURSDAY. JUNE 10. 1913 (One Day Nearer Victory) V. S. Employment Service Tlif United States Kmploymeiit Service is teleliratinjr its tenth birthday this month. On June '.. lit:;:'., the WamT-lVyser Act, l.rovidiiiK tur a l'"ederal-State system of public emplnynu'iit services was passed by Congress. A review of the tasks assigned and accom plished by the service durinir the past ten years iustilies the faith and hopes of those who worked for the basic- law of the oi'Kani zatioii. The creation of the organization came at a critical time when thousands were clamor iny for jobs. The work has grown during the past ten years and today it is playing a major role in the placement of workers on defense jobs. The U. S. 1-lmployment Service here, which was established in lit:!;;, has placed hun dreds of persons in jobs where they have been needed. They are doing a splendid job and rendering a great service. Decause of the activities of" the employ ment service in manpower utilization, the President has transferred the U. S. E. S. to the War Manpower Commission and has given the chairman authority, if necessary, to direct the hiring of all workers through the U. S. E. S. Placements reached as high as ten million in the country for the year 1942. The future work of the Employment Ser vice following the war when the tremendous shift in jobs will again take place is already being planned. The return of the soldier to civilian life is going to offer many head aches not only to those seeking jobs, but to the agencies who will be aiding them. At present the task of the employment service is to furnish manpower to win the war, and when victory comes it will have another assignment in helping the nation to swing back into a peacetime schedule. The Timber Line We were greatly interested in a recent article in Collier's Magazine by Marjorie K. Rawlings, well known Florida writer. In a section like ours with dwindling forests it gave food for deep consideration. The author pointed out that experts have estimated that another war twenty five years from now will see the United States without wood for war. While we hope that twenty-five years from now will see this country at peace with all nations of the earth, viewing the future by the past we have no guarantee. The author painted a picture of the great waste of our forests in the Southeast. We know from our own experience here in Hay wood County that, while many companies have respect for the future and have pro grams of conservation of forests, other lum bermen have denuded areas in almost whole sale slaughter with no regard for the future. On the other hand the article called to mind the conservation of one of our own big industries of forest lands and plans for the future that will include reforesting that will go on for an indefinite period. The preservation of the forests, however, do not rest entirely with the companies that cut lumber, but also with the individual. Just as much damage can be done by a care less person in the woods with a match thrown aside as the lumberman who is cut ting timber. ' A Global Peace The last issue of the Christian H.ld carries a forceful editorial on the nectlsity for a world-wide peace, excerpts of which follow: "Our sons have not fought and died in a global war to win less than a global peace. If this be 'Globaloney', then God help us to make the most of it. "It is late, very late, but it is not too late. After Versailles we left the house of unity and went to the far country of isolation. We wasted the substance of freedom in self ish living and ate then the husks of disillu sionment. Now we return but on the bleed ing feet of our children. Surely if we repeat our folly, if having helped win another war, we withdraw from yet another peace, neither God nor posterity will forgive us. "They were false guides who told us that this was not our war, who delayed our de fenses, whose counsels gave comfort to our enemies while they warned us against our friends. Now they return. They have broken a worth silence and again they are false guides. "This war is not yet won and it could be lost, 'United we stand divided we fall' is as timely now as it was when first the fate ful words were spoken. Any word that di vides us. or makes for division among the United Nations is a word spoken lor defeat, a word spoken for the Axis, a word spoken against America. "Those wlio would call us back to isolation after this war. those who oppose planning the peace while we are lighting this war are prophets of fear and captains of failure.. They would have to renounce the goal lor which we have fought and surrender the lnuts ol victory lor which our sons nave died. Surely they know not what they do, for they are very saboteurs of peace." SPEAKING CF RUG CKSWiriG! Rambling Around Bits of this that and the other picked up here, there and yander. By W.

We hoped piiiiH clean after the annual up that we could State To Encourage Sheep Raising We notice with interest that the state department of agriculture is beginning a program of sheep rehabilitation in North Carolina. The- fact that within the past (50 years sheep production in this state has been reduced from oiiO.OOO head to less than U'J, 000 prompted the agriculture department to initiate the prograpi. W. Kerr Scott. Commissioner of Agricul ture, recently remarked that his goal is to bring 5,000 ewes in the state this year. Mr. Scott points out that despite the fact that he is a dairyman he feels that "a few sheep properly handled will bring a larger profit than that from any other farm animal." Last year the agriculture department set up a revolving fund to defray the importa tion of ewes into the state from ranches in Montana and Wyoming. These sheep were resold to interested farmers at cost. The state department heads believe that dogs, stomach worms and stock laws have been to blame for the decline of sheep rais ing in the state. We know in Haywood County what havoc dogs can play with sheep, and regret that the situation has not been remedied with the years of improve ment in all other lines of agriculture pro duction. We trust that the new program will be inaugurated in Haywood County and that once again it will be safe to raise sheep on our farms. son of the late .Mr. and Mis.

A Newspaper Education Will Rogers' celebrated saying "All I know is what I read in the papers," was not a confession of ignorance, but rather an in dication of wisdow, The American press is the greatest single educational influence in America. It works with the public system to make the American nation an intelligent, free thinking people. Without a free press the school system could not remain free. The press clears the ground for every new enterprise, every advancement. It sways public opinion as nothing else can do. But it's value is that it has remained free. At tempts to buy th,e press have met with failure. The American newspaper is founded on the doctrine of printing the truth, of giv ing a true picture of what is happening in the world. Anyone who reads the newspa pers has a practical education for they touch every known subject. Exchange. Costly Rain Making Everything costs more nowadays.

Vogue Magazine has always been an interesting periodical . . . but certainly not on the Main Street type . . . but of late we note it is coming down to earth . . . for instance, a recent number carried an article entitled "Hack Home and Liking It" ... it might have been written about people in a town like our own ... it sets forth how "Heart and home take on a new polish under the friction of war" . . . and how women are get ting back to doing work they once thought they could not do . . . and are even learning to like it . . . home making in this year 1943 is becoming a real art . . . and the young married woman of 1943 is "falling over her grandmother getting back to the kitchen."

"You must have been gardening" . . . and his reply . . . "Gardening, why I have been on my knees work ing in the yard for the past two hours" . . . there is something almost exhilerating about the dis covery of how much more we can take on when the challenge comes in our lives . . . and who has not had one or many during the past year? It's a funny thing about mem ories . . . how they come back with stirring impulses . . . and things we have been associated with in earlier years ... we find our selves yearning for them once again. . . .
