NATIONAL EDITORIAL North Carolina ' VKlSi ASSOC1ATK THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1943 (One Day Nearer Victory) Right Here In Our County As we pointed out last week in an edi torial the sad story of the number of men rejected for service because of illiteracy, we also remind you that this month you may be given an opportunity right in your own community to do something about the matter for the future. These rejections should make us all real ize that we have work at home and a re sponsibility. Maybe there is a little girl in your neighborhood, who needs a dress, to boost her morale, or maybe a boy who would go to school if someone was interested in him and showed that interest. Maybe these children have not had the importance of an education put before them. Life does not have a definite pattern to them, of preparation in early years for full ness and richness of living. Schools have opened in our county for the 1943-44 term. Let us all appoint our selves assistants to our truant officers. Let us see that every child is Entered in school and remains there until next spring when they close. When Autumn Comes From a survey made during the past week indications point to one of the best fall seasons ever enjoyed in this area. The sum mer season, which has far surpassed the expectations of the majority of local people, bids fair to continue even after frost has come. We feel that this extension of the tourist season will not only affect this year, but the years to come. We have often made the statement that the majority of visitors left just on the eve of the most beautiful time of the year in the mountains. We understand that the summer visitors come in the hot months to avoid the heat of their home towns, and that ere the au tumn rolls around they can be comfortable at home, but even so, they miss something that we have to offer at its best. We usually have a few nippy days and those not familiar with our climate are scared into thinking that winter is at hand, when in reality it is merely autumn announc ing its arrival, so to speak. For after this announcement, the days become mellow with mild new charm and beauty, for the Indian summer is climate at perfection. When the leaves begin to turn in their glory of color, the weather seems to match them in a state of perfection. It is neither too hot nor too cold. We feel that those who stay later this year will never go back soon again, for they will know first hand what we have to give thetn in the way of an autumn season, and that the late season this year will mean later seasons in the years to come. A Job Well Done m The Mountaineer takes off its hat and makes a low bow to The Forest City Courier for the accomplishment in publishing their 112-page edition to the men in service. Rutherford County has over 3,100 men in service, and the 112-page edition i3 a fit ting tribute to these men, and to those who may later enter service. The staff of The Courier has done an out standing piece of work, and we know their efforts are not in vain. The task was well done. Our recent 56-page edition wa3 a man-size job. Theirs was a gigantic one. Band At Practice We note with pleasure that the Waynes ville township high school band is getting back to their routine practice and plan to give a concert here and at Lake Junaluska in the near future. The band has meant a great deal not only to the students who have been given the opportunity of learning to play, which will give them an appreciation of music for the rest of their lives, but also to the commun ity. This summer tension has been running pretty high as most folks have pushed them selves to greater effort to meet conditions. We feel that a good band concert on the courthouse grounds would help us all to relax a bit some good stirring airs, that will pep us up. How about it, Director Isley, and band students? Miracles In 36 Years August, 1943, marks the 36th anniversary of the creation of the U. S. Air Forces. It was started with one officer and two men. The story of the progress which has been made since that date reads like a fairy story. Today there are hundreds of thousands of trained men in our air corps, which is such a vital part of our defense. But to reach this high goal of efficiency many have made sacrifices along the way in their ef fort to perfect travel in the skies. What has been accomplished in the field of aviation since the war clouds gathered over this country and since we actually got into the conflict sounds like a miracle, when one considers the number of men who have been trained and the number of planes that are being turned out. The accomplishments of the past three years in aviation and in the immediate years to come will be reflected in that great era of peace to which we all look forward. Great changes will take place in travel, for aviation has come to stay. In the meantime we pay tribute to this first line of defense, our air corps, that gives us protection on our shore lines and inspires us with a feeling that the enemy will never get very far into our country.

Georgia can add this boast to the inscrip tion on its Great Seal if it wishes. The Cracker State is the first in the American Union to lower the voting age which has never before been altered anywhere in the United States since the days of the Colonies. There is nothing sacred about 21 as the age of majority. It is fixed by common law for male maturity, but some States fix 18 as the age for women. Some States even say a minor has reached an age of sufficient discretion to select his own guardian at 14. And Mfs. Roosevelt says, "If they're old enough to fight, they're old enough to vote." Many thinking people recognizing the dif ference between the functions of a voter and a soldier, will question this. Yet the Con stitution of the United States permits the States to determine their own qualifications for voters. Georgia, indeed, may have start ed something. Georgia's 18-year-olds next year will have two opportunities to distinguish themselves : It is possible for them to be the first of their age to help elect an American President for a fourth term in office or they could be come pioneers in breaking away from the tradition that they must vote "the way granpappy did." Christian Science Monitor. A New Service We were interested in the reports of the Civil Aeronautics Commission on their "pick up" air mail service. There are now 115 cities ranging in population from 500 to 120,000 that have this type of service, with extension anticipated in other areas. Air companies are contemplating offering the service to as many as 1,453 cities in 29 states. The way it is handled does not re quire a large airport but only two strong poles across which a line is attached on which the package to be picked up by the mail plane, is suspended. The new simplified service is another sign of the effects of changing times, that will come within the next few years. We are so far removed in this section from the actual war ac tivities that the crash of the army plane near the Haywood-Jackson county line last Friday afternoon brought a deeper realization of the toll of war to us . . . and shocked us into what it means to fight in the sky ... it also brought home the training it takes to be a mem ber of this great skyline defense group. . . and how even with that the mechanism of the plane may fail. . . We were a little surpris ed to learn that it was the first time that either of the two avia tors had bailed out . . . for we had thought that method of leaving a plane was one of the features of training: ... it seems, so we learn- with it ... or is it a state of resig nation to let us do as we please, because they know we will in the end, . .

"If Chicago and Southern able to obtain more airplanes toaay ana me seats were re and the planes devoted to carrying nothing but cargo, we could ate at about 35 cents a plane mile, direct air coats, and carry up to three tons of cargo, depending on the degree of single engine performance desired. This is at. a rate of about X1.7 cents a ton mile. Add an estimated 5.5 cents for ground pick-up and de livery (so-called terminal costs) and you have a total of 17.2 cents a mile." This Is almost exactly the present rate charged for first rail express. If we fail to remake the airplane Into an instrument for a time utilization to the fullest, Putnam says, "God help ui if next war.

For sandwiches with crunch and flavor, use grated carrot with chop ped raisins, prunes, home dried peaches or apples and salad dress ing. Or, just use creamed butter with carrots chopped fine. Cooked carrots brighten any din ner plate. Use the carrots by themselves. Boil them with the outside leaves of celery. This makes a mighty good dish and so does cheese sauce poured over cooked carrots. It's easy to cook carrots, because the color stays bright without any special care on your part, and the vitamin A value remains intact at ordinary cooking temperatures. Cook carrots in as little water as possible and serve this liquid with the cooked carrots.
