Congratulations We were proud of tin community and also the citizens ol visitors hen this ba the manner in which thy took the glad tidings which came o er i!n- radio la. t Tues day night. In all tin- pre 'oiis of joy, there was no hint of li.sirli-!- ;,i d any spirit of destruction that niiie' ,'mo ; p:,-irks such occasions. We like to think that tin- material dam age of the world has brought home to us here, so far away from the scene of the fighting, an appreciation of the propi rty of others. We know how much niu-i !. built, back to lift a hand Is at hom- to de stroy. In all the jams of trailic a - the thousands of people mingled for hours on the streets there was never a sij.n of imput ieiice. Kach one seemed to think that the other fellow had as much right to be there a- lie. which is not always the case, we ivgn-t to -ay. The reaction points to a tine spirit to come back to normal living, and. is certain ly significant to the ideals upon which our nation was founded and for which our armed forces have been fighting. Welcome Beck After 19-10 there started a ady stream of Haywood County 'oiks to war plants scattered throughout the country. During the past few months they have started back, and in the months just ahead they will no doubt come in increasing number;, as con tracts are cancelled by the government in many of the plants. In the majority of the cases these Hay wood folk left only temporarily for the dur ation of the war, and intended 1o return when the war was over. We are rrlad to have loaned them for the emergency, and we will likewise be happy to welcome them back home. They will find a few changes here, for our section has- also moved in step with the times, and new industries have been develop ed and are here to stay, we are glad to re port. We trust that these war civilian absentees find their footings soon in the old home set ting and lend a hand to build back to a greater prosperity than was enjoyed in pre-war days. They should have learned to work under high pressure and we trust they bring home the habit of making each work ing day count. They will profit as well a3 the community from the lessons the war hag taught thpfn. , .,, '. ... .;. " Good Prospects LADY OF THE LAKE Paul W. Chapman, dean of Georgia's Col lege of Agriculture, in a recent, inngaz.hu article outlined ten reasons why he think Ihe South will lead the Nation in the post war upsurge to business., agricultural, and industrial prosperity. They are as follows : More paved roads. .More airports and planes. More rural electrification. More refrigeration. Increased use of power and machinery. Increased need for farm buildings and equipment. Larger farm. Livestock eian- ion. Marketing supplies and equipment. Small industry equipment. ! In noting the ton-going we find that May-I v. ood County and our own community has a tine chance of sharing in this prosperity, for many of the item; will touch us here.

Xow at last it has died away, died away in a stupendous victory for the Allied peoples, won by a greater exi rtion of courage, unity, toil and ingenuity titan they believed them selves capable of, but won finally and com pletely. They staitd. in their hour of victory, upon a vast and somber ruin. It is a ruin of count less lives, of innumerable factories and farms and homes and all the other pain fully accumulated apparatus of civilized existence, of institutions and ideas and those intangible values which cemented the old structure of human society. To rebuild a peaceful and a prosperous order out of this chaos presents them with a task no less ditlicult in its own way than that which they have just achieved. But they do not come to it empty minded. Their war was not simply a war of aimless destruction and their vic tory was not merely a victory for one set of national Hags over another. It was a war of basic concepts as to the nature and end of mankind .ami it was a victory of a broad system of ideas--the ideas of freedom, ol man's inherent dignity, of the reality of humanitarian and democratic values, of or drnvd and legal process as against the domi nation of brute force, of ihe possibility of peaceful progress by rational analysis and co-operative action which have survived as great, creative instruments in their hands. These ideas take on many different ' and often conflicting colorations among the va rious peoples and social systems making up the grand alliance, but the same common threads run through all. It is by no mere accident of geography or power or scientific skill that the United States stands today on the common pinnacle of victory. It is lie cause we shared in the fundamental con cepts out of which alone a new world so ciety can lie created; just as the Germans' and the Japanese went down to utter ruin because they were dedicated to a brutal and barbarieally anachronistic past. The old in ternational society was shattered, by the 4ong-accu mulated strains within it, into this cataclysmic ruin; what remains, how ever, are the elements of thought and pur pose and conviction out of which a new one can now be created. If the devastation is appalling, the hope is brilliant as blinding as that first flash from the atomic bomb, which itself sym bolizes how great are the creative, no less than the destructive, powers which we now command. We may stand, in the awesome moment, at the end of the last great war in human history; we certainly stand upon the thresholds of immense change and immense promise. To all the millions whose blood and suffering brought us to this end we can only return our gratitude; to all who have survived we can only pledge our highest .effort.

They ean nol -.uddenly gel I heir minds out ol the grove of lout ears' tension anil feel completely at peace. The past four ears have cut loo deep ly into their emotions to swing hack with elasticity. We thought it uas our maturity that was hold ing us hack anil keeping us from an "overnight" menial reconver sion, until we overheard several voting people express themselves. One young wile whose husband is in the service, said coming out of the I'ark Theatre. "You know that was a giand picture to get your mind oil' Ihj- war" . . . and then Ihe last word came, she had a funny expression on her face and she instantly directed herself . . . "Hut. of course, tlie war is over. . . . Then we heard anot her young wife say . . . "You know my heart just stays tight and worried. I just can't sem to come out of it, even though I know my husband is safe now. I guess I got the habit and I can't shake it oil'." . . . This seems to he the attitude of most people. They speak of peace wilh their lips, but as yet it has not become a reality in their living and their thoughts. Ma.be Ibis altitude is good Cor ns. When one feels deeply it takes lime to make a change. r,'his should make us more understand ing ol the problems of the return ing veterans, for in comparison with them our experiences have been mild and tame. They will have much fai l her to go in their adjustments than we civilians. Perhaps il i-; best thai we cannot suddenly plunge into a normal sfale. lor it will be sometime be fore life about us comes hack to a settled stale. The shift from the great industrial swing from war production to peace time produc tion olf'j'rs economic problems. These will bring new conditions not only to the individual, hut al so to communities. Tlie prospect -alls for courage and patience to woik things out fr there will be another enemy to defeat unem ployment. We are entering a new cele. whether we want to or not. We have no say-so. We speak with great familiarity of the return to pre-war days. This is incorrect. We will never return to them. They are like the pages of the past, they cannot be recalled. Time moves on and we have all changed, though we may not be conscious of the fact. !!ut even so few of us will have as many adjustments to make as the Tennessee girl of liaptist faith, who married a Roman Catholic Marine from Oregon, whom she had a blind dale with in Columbus, Ohio. She was married to him two weeks later in Seattle, Wash., and had a "thirty-six hour poss" honeymoon in Chicago, and a three weeks "lime off" together before the Marine was shipped out to the Pacific. Now that couple like a lot more hasty lovers really has something to adjust, for we doubt if they even had time to check on their likes and dislikes, much less settle the question of religion. For instance take the banish ment of that nightmare of gas ra tioning. We can't be too elated. It's a little like buying a ticket to ride on a train, with the train al ready gone and having to wait for the next one. Most of us have tires that can't last much longer, for this reason, we can't motor with the abandon of pre-war days. In fact there are a lot of our old so-called necessities that will not be on the market for sometime. While nylon will almost imme diately be converted from glider tow ropes to toe coverings we are told that it may be three or four rvsj mi be anyj I large shipments of hosiery on sale and for the first trickle, it c said that fancy black market prices will be charged. It will take i:C) days after a hosiery mill has re ceived their first shipment of n Ion yarn before the .stockings go on general sales. So gills just put! up your old baggy ravens, and make the best of them, lor 'on have endured them this long, and we will have to take a lew months longer. Gee, but won't il be a riot the first time I lies go on sale. Hi . I..-I C. N.
