Cfnt p.r wont NATIONAL CDiTOMAI -North Corohna THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1945 (One Day Nearer Victory) Army To Cut Down We see that the army Aunx to discharge 1,800,000 seasoned army lighters and to give 30-day furloughs at home to thousands of others enrotite from Europe to the Pa cific. This is the Army's current plan for shifting combat forces. Jt is said, however, that cutting army strength to this level may take a year or longer, military leaders warned. As a result the present draft rale of 120,000 a month will prolal)ly drop lo .r0,000 or 60,000 after June 30. These plans of the army are hound to give encouragement to the home fronts, for with the reduction of the men in service indications would be that at least hopes are cherished for a victory not so far distant with the Jap forces in the Pacific. Growing Appreciation The large number of graduates from the high schools of the county this year should be gratifying to our people. It shows that the young generation is beginning to have a deeper appreciation of their educational advantages. This is a small silver tint to the dark cloud of the war. Lack of educational re quirements has been brought to the surface during this war, and young people are evi dently realizing that in preparation for the future they had better stay in school as long as they can. Another feature of this large number of graduates is that with jobs on every hand many of these boys an girls might have dropped out to work a while and got their share of the big wages while they were go ing. With this situation existing the young people deserve more credit than ever before or aPWitinuipg their, education. Another Goal In Haywood We extend our congratulations to the em ployees of The Dayton Rubber Manufactur ing Company on winning the Army-Navy "E" award for war production goals. We are proud to claim this new company as one of Haywood's leading industrial plants. During the short time since it was establish ed hre it has made an extraordinary record. Notwithstanding the unprecedented na tional emergency under which it was estab lished it was built and organized on a sub stantial and permanent foundation, that has no $oubt had a large part in contributing to its " record for meeting the government needs, as evidenced in the "E" pennant. With keen interest, as well as civic pride, w -have watched the plant grow from the erection of its building to the great expan sion of its production. We have felt a great local pride in having such a business locate in this section. We have likewise felt a deep appreciation to the owners for their faith in -our community and their cooperation as ritfeens of this section in all worthwhile movements. May this wartime achievement be only a forerunner of a bright and profitable future for' the Dayton fiubber plant of Haywood county. In full swing in the season that brings forth the only fellow who works hard to get into a iole the golfer. Secrecy Policy Chairman Sandy Graham of the State Highway and Public Works Commission seems to have brought down the disapproval of the state in his recent "meeting behind closed doors" of his department. The Raleigh News and Observer had the following comments to make editorially on this manner in which Mr. Graham is hand ling "public business': It is most unfortunate that the new Highway and Public Works Commission has seen fit to adopt a policy of secrecy as con trasted with the oen dor policy of its immediate predecessors. Public business should bo transacted in the. open. Ordinarily, there is no more rea son for the commission to conduct its busi ness secretly than there would be for the General Assembly to pass laws in secret ses sion or for the courts to conduct secret trials. If any extraordinary condition arises to justify different procedure, such occas sions should certainly be the exception and not the rule. It is even more unfortunate that the type written statement given out by Chairman Graham at the closed session should have failed to include any mention of important business said to have been transacted. II is reported reliably that the new chairman asked and received authority to create a new office, that of Assistant Chairman, to carry a salary of $400 or $450 a month. Yet that action was not mentioned in the chair man's report of the meeting to the press. Secret meetings always lead to rumors and garbled information. Chairman Graham and the new commission will doubtless find that an open policy will be more satisfactory to them and to the public than a policy of secrecy. Chairman Graham is a man of wide ex perience in public affairs. It is to be hoped that upon reflection he will recommend and the commission will adopt a policy similar to that followed in the past. Public business is public property and should be transacted in public. GERMAN MEASLES Voice OP THE People Do you approve of bringing German prisoners to this country? The T. L. Green "I do not approve of bringing German prisoners to this country either to feed or work them." Everyday Counsel By REV. HERBERT SPAUGH, I). , Graver Davis "I am not in fa vor of bringing German prisoners to this country, but I am in favor of sending them to the countries they have destroyed and force them to work hard ami build them back." liryan Mcdford "No, I am not in favor of bringing them over here. We don't need them." M. II. Bowles "I do not approve of bringing German prisoners over here, for we have sufficient labor here and when the men are dis charged from the armed forces we will face a problem of finding jobs for them all." HERE and THERE By HILDA WAY GWYN 'I liad Howell "I do not approve of bringing them into this coirn- trv." We recall how for many years we read the ads of Dayton Rub ber in magazines. We were deep ly impressed, but we turned the pages without much thought, for after all Dayton Rubber was a far ways from Haywood County. It did not concern us Little did we dream that someday our own' Haywood County people would be adding their talents toward mak ing the products of Ibis company which is known nationally and in ternationally for its superior goods and still less did we ever expect to see a large manufacturing cen ter built on the cornfield of our own ancestor, over which we had ridden horseback on many of our childhood adventures. Yet these things have come to pass. Bethel Baptists In this section we were greatly excited when Dayton Rubber de cided to locate here. Just between us, we natives feel that we have the finest climate', the most beau tiful country and the best people lo he found anywhere. We feel that we have something to offer and we are always glad when someone from over the ridge dis covers our advantages and casts their lot with us. For the estab lishment of the Dayton Rubber Company has been a matter of mu tual interest and profit lo the own ers of the Dayton Rubber and to our own people, who have been employed The 100th anniversary of the Bethel Bap tist Church is not only interesting from a standpoint of what it has meant in the life of the people of the Bethel community, but also because it, is typical of hundreds of rural churches thoughout America. These rural churches have been the cen ter of community life and have trained the people for generations 1to lead Christian lives and develop a higher type of citizen ship. They have given us some of our out standing preachers and religious leaders. It was a fitting tribute to the founders of i the church and to the influence through the 111 "ie current emergency it has years to observe the occasion with an all-day service, and review the years of usefulness of the church. In reviewing the work of the church the part the late R. E. Sentelle played in the upbuilding of the church is remembered by those who are old enough to recall his faith ful service. We are glad that throughout the county may be found these small rural churches, that are giving spiritual sustenance to our people. A. E.

To make the most The war isn't over yet. We wish that it were. Thousands are pray ing that it soon will be. To that end we must continue to devote our prayers, our time, our money, our best efforts. War production must be kept up. Adequate equipment must be provided for our servicemen. A necessary part of this equipment is the Bible. The War Emergency Fund of the American Bible So ciety still needs your help. We appealed to the readers of this column once before and the re sponse was generous. We have been asked to make a "new ap peal. The end of the war in Europe does not mean that the need fin , Bibles will de- , crease. On the contrary it will increase.

We don't know what the figures were for the campaign on the Western Front, or for the campaign in the Pacific, but they are probably, not much less. Then consider the number of men who are casualties on the battle front, the number who are being dis charged, and the number of new men entering service, and you will gather some idea of the continu ing need for Bibles and Testa ments for servicemen. Added to all of this is the prob lem of rehabilitating civilians in devastated Europe. There we are faced with the urgent need of planting the Christian gospel, re establishing the Christian way of life. For this the Bible is an urg ent necessity.

The resignation of Churchill as prime minister and head of the British govern ment, while sensational news to us, is not so much so to the English, at least that is what we have gathered in reading of the coming election on July 5. Churchill's resignation is simply the first step toward submitting to the English voters the question of approval or disapproval of the policies which he has pursued and which he may in the future be expected to carry out. Therefore to enable the British to express their opinion, Churchill has resign ed. We would like to be temporarily, of course, an English voter and cast our vote for this hearty old fighter who has carried on so nobly and wisefy during the war. ' If he has played a little astute politics in bring ing the election some months before his op ponents wanted it, we cannot find it in our hearts to criticize him for that. This man who led Britain through "blood, sweat and tears" to ultimate victory is entitled to the privilege of asking the voters for the con fidence when and under such circumstances he chooses. We hope that he polls a big vote when the returns come through in July. Too many people fall down on the job of growing old because they don't take their time about it. oeen necessary lor people, espe cially women who never worked before away from , home to take the place of a man in industry. There were hundreds of women in our own county here who were willing to work, but could not leave their homes to do so. They could not go to Newport News, Wilmington, or Baltimore, or any of the other big war defense pro duction areas The Dayton Rub ber came and they could live at home and yet take their place in industry But. we are getting ahead of our story in our enthu siasm In turning back the files of The Waynosville Mountaineer, one can trace the events leading up to the realization of the modern plant which will now have the distinction of flying the Army-Navy "E" banner. You recall back in 1940, strange that it is only five years ago, when we count by the calendar, for to most of us it has been much longer in actual living, we learned that Dayton Rubber might came here. It was the same year that our National Guard was ordered into camp for a year's training and we tried to kid ourselves that they would be bflck home when the- year was up. First, you know the news spread about by word of mouth, as such things are likely to do in a village of this sie- "Yes, 'they say' it is really true, the Dayton Rubber Company plans to buy some of the Welch farm on the Balsam road and build a big factory . . ." On December 19, 1940, The Way ncsville Mountaineer carried a streamer across the front page "Officials Dayton Rubber Company Say Work To Start Jan. 1". Then the plant became a reality to us. You remember though "like the best laid plans of mice and men", there was a hitch in getting some details cleared up for construction, and the dirt did not actually start moving until Feb. 20, 1941. It was a great relief when that first shovel dug deep down into that corn field, for there were some skepti cal souls, as there always are, wbo wondered if the obstacles in the way might not call off the deal. Then the headline that followed dispelled all doubts . . . "Work To Start This Week On Rubber Plant" (March 27, 1941) . . . "$90, 000 Building To Be Completed by July 15" . . . "Steel Erection Rub ber Plant Will Soon Be Complet ed" . ' . . "Masons Are Building Side Walls of Buff Glazed Tile" . . . "Work Moving Satisfactorily" :. . (May 29, 1941) . . . "Dayton Rubber To Hold Open House" . . . Elaborate plans being made for of vitamins, minerals, and flavor, home economists offer the follow ing cooking suggestions. If carrots are peeled, peel thin, or scrape no more than skin deep. Young tender carrots may not need to be peeled. Just enough water lo cover. Have the water boiling before putting in the car rots. Cover the kettle to speed the cooking, save fuel and conserve vitamins. Cook only until tender. Young f:irrnt rnnlf in 1ft tn 90 mimilac aicdunj ii... . ..- i'i ...ii.v i ..... i n. nne and the Navy. It has been thrill ing to know that items made right here have been used by our light ing men all over the world. We know that it was not easy for the officials to ttet filing for our people, for the most part, were untrained to the jobs they were given. But with patience on the part of the employers and the desire to make good on the part of the employes the plant has and kept its high standard work on 24 hours production shifts have gone forward, meeting the dead lines .of orders. With a look through the ."Thorobred '. publish ed for the employes el the com pany, one can find proof that the officials also think of their em ployes outside of working hours as individuals with the richt to lead normal lives. The activities reveal ed in the paper show that Hie com pany has interest in the welfare and happiness of all who work for Dayton Rubber. in 20 to 25 minutes. Slicing or dicing shortens the cooking but may mean greater loss in vitamin C. Variety in seasoning helps pre vent monotony, if carrots are serv ed frequently. A little lemon juice over the top, chopped pars ley, or tender onion sprouts, or chopped onion heated in a little fat, are favorite seasonings for j this vegetable. Leftover drippings from cooking meat are good for I pouring over carrots. YOU'RE TELLING ME Ey WIUIAM RITT Central Press Writer THE FIRST KISS, goes an old saying. Is the sweetest.
