ASSQCIATION 5 AiHM-lAlJUN VI V ' THURSDAY, Jl'NK KM 5 (One Day Nearer Victory) Youth At Work It is refrcshiiiK in these days of man power shortage to find how readily and glad ly our young people step from the school rooms right into useful occupation for their summer vacations. They may find work on the farm, it may lie relieving work on the home front, or it may lie in the oflice or factory, but wherever you go you find them taking on their part of the load. They are meeting the challenge of an over worked world for there seems in every walk of life more work to be done than workers to take on the job. We take pride in tin way young America has answered the call to play their part in the emergency. Wanted Sugar Substitute Each week the subject of .sugar becomes more vital to housewives. There seems to be no doubt about it, even the most optimis tic will have to admit that the supply is becoming shorter and that everyone will have to cut down. Home-made candies, cakes and ice cream unless sweetened with substitutes for sugar, will become pre-war or post-war which ever one wishes to term it, luxuries. Sacch arin will become" more anil more popular (from necessity) for sweetening coffee and tea. Most of us can take the shortage during the summer for our current meals, but the situation is serious when it comes to a lack of sugar for the preservation of fruits and berries for canning. In view of this it is of the utmost importance that housewives cut to the bone their daily menu consump tion of sugar in order that canning may be done, even though on a small scale. We make again the suggestion to Haywood County farmers that it is not too late to plant a patch of sorghum cane and make a run . or-two of good old fashioned molasses, f&pjjpil'IrBany cases it is just as good for "sitertfi'ung" as some syrup, which is be coming so popular as a sugar substitute. "K-r An illustrated booklet, known as "K-2", showing concentration camp horrors and atrocities has been prepared by the O.W.I, and has been distributed among the German people to get their reaction to their own crimes and brutality. In other words a psychological test is being carried out to seft if there is any decency in the German heart and mind, after the influences of Hit ler On the same day the above information was released to the press there also appear ed a new,s item from Germany to the effect that art entire battalion of German troops had filed a request that they be sent to the Pacific theatre to fight Japan. The latter item is the complete answer to the first. The German is no more or less than a cog in a, ruthless war machine. He has been reared under military discipline and recog nizes no other activity. "Life, liberty and happiness" mean little to the Germans. The O.W.I, may be inducting a very noble and worthy experiment. We are not a psycho-analysis., but to our way of thinking there is but- little to be gained in trying to salvage spoiled fruit. It will take a new generation of Germans as yet unborn to have these qualities and ideals for which we have made untold sacri fices and given the cream of our. young manhood.' ' . ' REA Expansion The announcement of the expansion of the Haywood Electric Membership Corpora tion in this paper last week will no doubt be very gratifying to the original members of the Cruso Mutual who in 11)38 built the first REA lines in Haywood County. To see the original company covering 32 miles j with 2")() subscribers into a million dollar j investment servicing several thousand sub scribers in Haywood and adjoining counties ' is certainly a development of which the ori ginal incorporation may be justly proud. " It took heroic work on the part of Dewey t Hess, Carter Trull, Ira Cogburn, T. L. Cwyn, j Mr. and Mrs. E. 1!. Kickman, Chester Cog- burn, and Henry Dewar, engineer, and others ' to work out the preliminary details and get the project through all the government rules I and regulations through which it. had to! pass. Electric power and light will soon reach every neck and corner of the "county and nothing has ever been done, with the possible exception of good roads that has added more to the comfort and convenience' of rural sec tions than the extension of electricity. The next forward step should be, in out opinion, the development of a rural tele phone system, which we understand is now being considered by the KEA. With im proved roads, electricity and telephones, liv ing in the country in Haywood County will have all the comforts of town plus the de lights of the rural advantages. 'Even-Tempered' A recent editorial in The Asheville Citizen begins with a reference to the "even-tem-pred Raleigh News and Observer." Even in the face of more provocative terms such as untoward innocence" and "pontificates," The News and 'Observer proposes to remain "even-tempered" in regard to the Great Smoky Mountain I'ark, the subject under discussion. 1 he News and Observer will go further and admit cheerfully that The Citizen is KNEE DEEPJN JUNE &iAWW$A BOOTSTRAPS Mg W0i 9 Voice OF THE People The Do you think there should be a difference in the way German and Jap prisoners are treated hy the United States? ,This question was suggested by a local citizen who has decided views on the .subject.)

(Jul at the Waynes vi I It- Country Club Henry Mac Fayden slaged a real pre-war party in his opening dinner dance at the club. Kveryone present is hoping that lie will repeat the parly in the near future, and those who missed the lirst affair are planning to be there for the second, having heard such glowing accounts. Then on the same night the Tcen-Agers also had their inning, for the Youth Club held its initial open house al the Chamber of Com merce with Myrtle Kay represent ing the mothers Fifty or more youngsters gathered for the even ing, and everybody found someth- for much better informed about, the nark, which l" his (,w" lik'" lu do , ... . a . ... . i I there was a variety of amusements is aunosi on us (tooisiep. ii win aiso in admitted that it is much easier to remain even-tempered at a distance of more than 2i() miles than it is on the scene of in justice, outrage or whatever may be the proper word to describe the situation under which Tennessee is getting a larger share than North Carolina of the tourist traflic into and out of the park. Hut the challenge of The Citizen to tra verse any artery leading to North Carolina "on hands and knees, pushing peanuts" would be declined even if The News and Ob server knew id' a dozen such arteries. Per haps, too many peanuts have been pushed already. The thing to push is better de velopment of the North Carolina side of the park. Raleigh News and Observer. Inter-Regional Highways The city of Raleigh is quite perturbed over the proposed routing of the post-war inter-regional highway system in the state, as adopted at the recent meeting of the State Highway Commission on June 20th. At the same time' we feel that quite an in justice has been done to A. H. Graham, newly appointed chairman of the commission. Raleigh citizens feel that their city, being the capital of the state and centrally located, should be touched by one. of these "super highways", as they are to be called. A super highway through the state, to our way of thinking, is a link in a chain, connecting points in the North and East with points in the South and West, rather than a highway to serve local interests. If Raleigh, being both one of the largest cities in the state as well as the capital, was not well serviced with good roads, the exception to the action of the commission might be well taken. As a matter of fact, which everydne familiar with the road sys tem of the state knows, excellent highways lead into Raleigh from every direction. The location of the super highway, it seems to us, is rather an engineering prob lem based on mileage and cost of construc tion and density of traffic, rather than in service to any particular city or cities. The routing of through travel through the streets of u city where traffic is already more or less congested might be more of a nuisance than a benefit in the final analysis. One published report jut of Raleigh stat ed that one of these super roads had been routed through the town of Hillsboro, Mr. Graham's home town. It later developed that such is not the case, that the proposed highway follows the present location of U. S. 70 and misses Hillsboro entirely by ' a dis tance of one or two miles. t The State Highway Commission has a big job to do in the post-war period and the spending of the millions of funds which will be available for improving and building roads, but as in all large and small under takings, it will no doubt be impossible to please all the people. 'j-' M' '' .';.' . '.:'' and the club committee members were present to help things along. We congratulate the leaders who have worked so hard to bring this club into a reality Last week's issue of Collier's Magazine carried a full face cover picture of President Truman. It is such a striking likeness to our own Judge Felix K. Alley that one has to stop and take a second look and read in the small print at the bottom of the page "The Presi dent of the United States" to be absolutely positive that it is not a likeness of our North Carolina judge We are convinced that you could cut the name of the president yet Judge Alley to autograph it and hang it up, and half the people who saw it would say, "That cer tainly is n grand picture of Judge Alk y " It you doubt us hunt up last week's Collier's and see for youi self. It has been interesting to note how the bits of conversation heard in passing have changed during the (;:!'-,t live years . . starting back in 1040, when the boys jus' went in training lor a year. . . You remember'' Since the fall of Germany there has been a great change We noted some of the remarks we heard during the past week. "I haven't heard from him in three weeks, so I know he is on his way home". . . "Yes he called from New York and his ship has docked ". . . "Of course he has to report to camp, but I know he will be home just is soon as they will let him'' . . . "Yes, we have count ed his points, but I don't know, you see he has no dependents". . . "Yes. of course he will have to go to the Pacific, but we will get to see him". . . "Of course he should be able to get a discharge for you remember be volunteered before Pearl Harbor". . . "Well maybe since he is just eighteen and has all his training ahead of him, the war will be over before he would have to go overseas". . . "That extra gas will help a little". . . "Don't you believe'it will be over in 'W . , and so it goes the same old remarks wherever you go. land we all make them). Being one of the housewives who plan to do over their kitchen after the war is over, we perhaps are more conscious of the ads about the subject than we might be had we just done a kitchen around the Pearl Harbor era. Some of the ads promise to eliminate every pet peeve of the household. They tell you to blue print your kitchen and "save miles of walking." Many electrical appliances and faucets will be operated by knee or foot pedal controls. Dishwashers, stov es, refrigerators, frozen food lock ers, counters, cabinets, garbage grinders, mixers will be purchased as single integrated units to be pieced together on delivery at the home site. Radio makers are pre paring a washable piastic radio for kitchen use, the reception of which cannot be distorted by the hum and chatter of household applianc es. It seems that the U-Shaped kitchen will be the most efficient, They even tell you that "toe space is convenient at the base pf work ing, counters. The last word In refrigeration eallg for a- cabinet covered with buttons. Press out and the meat tray comes out. another and the butter is before you. It sounds wonderful and it is said that a modern kitchen is the housewife's "postwar craving, number one." but the thought comes, no doubt there will be the same old problem to solve that we bad before the war when we might have done something about mod ernizing our kitchen Where is the money coming from to finance this delux cooking room' Carlyle llaynes "The Germans aie supposed to be civilized and superior to the Japs, who are simply barbarians, and, therefore, I believe that the Germans should be more severely punished." Chris George "As prisoners of war they should all be treated alike, but the people in countries should be dealt with differently." Mrs. James K. Thomas "Since they are captured prisoners of war thev should all share alike." A Florida visitor told us the following story, which came out of Miami - which gives proof thai one man got in the last word with a woman. It seems that a V.'AVK officer was strutting her authority with a great deal of show, and ol len authority can give one a dictoria! personality that is irrigating be yond measure. A young lieuten ant in the Air Corps had just ar rived by plane from duty in the South Pacific, where be had been wearing, as few clothes as he could get by with. lie had put on a littlt extra for his trip, but not enough to give him any claim to formality of conventions. Ssh'orlly after he i to arrived he was called down by the WAVK, who happened to be his superior officer, for his careless ap pearance. He told her the circum stances, that he has just arrived in the States from overseas, but she was still haughty with authority He saluted and they parted, and then he called back to her, "Cap tain, your, slip is showing.'' Mrs. F. G. I'ippetoe "I think they should all be treated alike." ; Dr. (). II. Champion "No, there should be no difference, but they ; both should be given II ". I'.iuinett Kalentine "I don't think there should be a difference in the way we treat prisoners of war." How chickens come home to roost was interestingly revealed re cently in a story printed in The Charlotte News, concerning a local lawyer. It seems that on a fox hunt sometime back the automobile in which this lawyer and bis party ..:.-nrt 4l were iiums auu I into a ditch. Me went to a nearoy 'armhouse to seek assistance. A man cam to the door, and the ftiJ '"J awyer introaucea V?5r himself telling his asked him to re peat his name, then he said. "You say you are a lawyer?" "That's right." "Oh. now I know. Don't you remember one time when you had me on the witness stand in a case, and how you browbeat, lambasted and harangued me? Well, you can stay in the blankety-blank ditch all night." replied the man as he slammed the door. Things we say and do, then for get, have a way of bobbing up on us in unexpected places. The Charlotte lawyer got quite a laugh out of this incident as he told it on himself, but there is a serious lesson in it. Chickens have a way of coming home to roost sometimes with much more serious consequences.

"IN THE beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the wa ters." "The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." It reads like a great symphony. Darkness and water, but the spirit of God moved on the face of thia water. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. God saw that light was good, so He divided the light from the darkness, and called the light day, and the dark ne$s night. "And the evening and the morning were the first day." Light came first, then God made the firmament, divided the waters, called the firmament heaven on the second day. On the third day God said, "Let the water under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear; and it was so. And God called the dry land earth; and the gathering together of the waters called He seas; and God saw that it was good." Also on this third day the earth was made to bring forth grass, herbs yield ing seeds, fruit after his kind, and seeing that was good, God finished the work of the third day.
