These American mules, even though they came in for their share of jokes, as the mule always does, did their part toward winning victory. No doubt they will also prove a bitf contribution to the small farm ers in F.urope as they try to brin back their land to production after it has been ravaged by war and accomplish more for their masters by being left there than be ing brought back to America. Best Wishes For Good Year With the ty schools cooperation Our schools four years. into the armei opening of the Haywood Coun we oiler our best wishes and to the teachers and principals, have suffered (luring the past Some of our teachers have gone orces, otners nave sougm employment in industry. The older boys have entered the. armed forces. In the months before they, either volunteered or were drafted, they were more or less demoralized. They knew that sooner or later they would be leaving school and it was hard for them to concentrate on their work. Now this has past, and with the specializ ed training given the boys in the armed forces, the need for education and more thorough knowledge of the field one enters has been brought to both the boys and their parents. Coupled with his deeper appreciation of what an education can mean will be the by the C.ciH-ral Assembly, which will keep the students in school, and thereby raise the compulsory school attendance law, passed general standard of the work of the students. Back Home During the past four years to meet the of women left their homes for the first time high pressure of war production, thousands and held jobs in factories and offices, most of (them in war industries. Whether they want it or not many of them will be without jobs. By Decemlwr of this year they will know the answers, according to Miss Frieda 8. Miller, chief of women's bureau of the Labor Department, who estimates there will be between 2,000,000 and 2,500,000 women out of jobs. In addition to this large group will be the thousands of women who have served in the armed forces, which does not present a bright picture for women as far as em ployment is concerned. No doubt the women are already preparing themselves to face this condition, for they know that the veteran will be given priority at all times over them, and that there will also be the traditional preference of giving a man a job rather than the woman. But on the other hand if the peacetime production swings into anything like it is predicted by economists and businessmen there will be room for the absorption of many women in irifiustry who may transfer from war to peacetime work, without much time lost. In the meantime women will have to ad just themselves to stricter economy, and pre pare for the possible rainy day ahead, until the reconversion settles their state. Women have always been past masters in detailed Economy, so they will be able in most cases Building Progress We congratulate the board of trustees of the Methodist Assembly for their forward step in planning for a greater expansion of accommodations to take care of the increas ing crowds that visit Lake Junaluska each season. It is also encouraging to note that there is prospect for a greater building program right here with a number of plans under way, all pointing to an expansion ol tourist accommodations, which will be needed to meet the influx of visitors who are making this area headquarters. Like the Lake we need an increase in varied accommodations for the tourist from high class modern hotel rooms to a simple housing unit. We sincerely trust tii.4t the signs of future construction are not false, but will be realized even in greater evidence than we now anticipate. If both the Methodist Assembly and the Town of Waynesville can have the seasons they have enjoyed this year during a time when the nation has been at war, certainly the future with travel restrictions lifted offers assurance of a permanent and prosper ous tourist industry. MASTER KEY Tokens Of Peace Each day we note returning peace signs in the community. Most of them are little things, but they represent a tremendous change. The termination of gas rationing was the biggest token of a world about to enjoy peace. The stop-press orders on next year's rationing books perhaps means as much as anything, for they spell freedom from restrictions under which we have lived so long. However it does not mean that the ra tioning of foods will not continue during l(.)46 but that the spares in Hook 4, may be able to take care of the needs until things become more plentiful. It is said that the rationing of meats, fats, and oils, butter and sugar will be con tinued "until military cut-backs and increas ed production meet civilian demands." Most of us can take this without complaint, for we know that we have not suffered and our lot has been easy compared to the civilians in whose countries the war has raged. Nevertheless it will be nice once again to shop without rationing books, and the man ufacturers of women's pocketbooks must have some reason to cut down on the size as we have noticed in the newer models. How the world welcomes these tokens of peace. They help restore our vision of an untroubled world a world at peace. What Of The Draft? President Truman has already authorized a cut in inductions from 80,000 to 5:5,000 a month, but has insisted that the draft go on so that replacements may be provided for men in the occupational forces who have done the fighting and earned the right to a discharge and a return to civilian life. There are others in Congress, including Senator Thomas, chairman of the Senate Military Affairs Committee and Chairman May of the same group in the House, who do not approve such a program. They would like to see a bill introduced at the earliest possible moment to end all draft calls. There is much to be said on both sides, but with a long occupation in Japan and key points in the Pacific and also in Kurope, where it is planned to keep 400,000 men on duty indefinitely, it would look like the draft would be a necessity, if the veterans are to be relieved. In the meantime most civilians have a few ideas of their own, and to them it would seem only fair to send as replacements first the men who have been trained for long periods in this- country who have not been in combat rather than keep adding to the army. At least it might be advisable to make a close survey, which we admit would be difficult at this time with so many being discharged, and then start from the findings to organize for the occupational groups. There are some who feel that voluntary enlistments might fill the need, as the younger boys become of selective service age, who .would want to enter the army. Whatever is done, we trust that the vet erans of combat will be given what he wants, for he is the man who has contributed the most, while many others might have been willing, he was put on the spot. As far as most of us arejcbncerned, the atomic bomb is still & mifitarjr secret. " M ti . - - . The Lady Next Door says her husband just can't bear to see her put her hands in dishwater.

She is one of four girls from Brazil who received scholar ships for technical study in this country from the Institute of Inter inei ican Affairs, an agency of the United Stales to further relations between this country and South the Providence So Alimentacao. a Bra zilian organization. The Kills are makinu a study of Home Demon tration work, 4-II Clubs and nur ser schools. America, and cial Servic de 1 was chosen because I am so interested in the work among my people. You see I have taught six years in the high schools and dur ing my last vcar I also taught In the College of Hrail. from which I graduated." she said in answer to our question. It was very hard to believe that the slip of a girl, who was so gra cious and lovely to look at with her Latin coloring, dark flashing brown eyes and soil broken accent could possible be old enough for such experiences. We might have guess ed her to be a high .school stu dent, had we not known that only a girl of mature and outstanding ability would have been selected for such recognition. We ventured to find out other qualifications, but she was so modest it was difficult lo obtain, but she finally admitted that she had completed all courses offered in the tead.ng Brazil schools in her work, and that "scholastic rating did count some." "Of course it was necessary for me to speak English, which I did not. When the reoresent.itives of the Institute asked me if I would like to come to America and study I was so excited, but I had to tell then that I could not speak English, but they said that did not matter, for I could study in America before I started my work. I tried to learn how to speak be fore I left, but then I could not understand the American teacher very well'and did not make pro gress. But my first month in your country was spent at the Webster school, Washington, for the study of English," she explained. "We came by plane from Rio de Janerio. arriving in Miami in three days and then by train to Washington. It was my first trip to America, but I had dreamed of coming all my life. Everybody in Brazil wants to come to the United States. The program ol the Amer ican Institute of Inter-American Affairs was started by President Roosevelt and it has done so much for better understanding and good will between our countries. There is much our countries can do for each other. We have great natur al resources and you have great manufacturing plants," she ex plained. . "President Roosevelt has done mure than any one man to help the relations between th,e Ameri cans ami The Brazttiams. We all loved Roosevelt in our country. When he visited us everyone want ed to see him. Everywhere he went the streets were school childrn. men and labor came out When he died it made We closed everything work for three whole memory," she said. crowded, all in uniform, to parade us very sail, and slopped (I.IVN in Ins "We arrived just before Christ mas and it was wonderful lo see how you celebrated ( 'In i -,1 imis here. We celebrate it only in tin homes and here Christinas is everywhere. You have it on the streets, in the shops and in the movies. It makes one feel good and cheerful. But nothmg im pressed me more than the snow It is beautiful and the first 1 ever saw." "In this country you do so much for your people. We are just starting. The Providence Social Servic de AJimentaco has been or ganized for 'only two yens. It is our group to work for the mod of the people. That is one thing in this country you have .such won derful organization. You plan your work and cany il out. Take the study we are making in Amer ica. We girls have had no trouble, for the program has been worked out and we follow it." "Learning .English has been mv biggest Job. for the six months course I had in Home Economics and Nutrition at the I'niversily of Maryland was not new to mo. for I had studied the same things in Brazil, but I (earned a lot of other things." After completing the work at the University of Maryland six came to North Carolina lor three months. Six weeks of tin- lime she is spending in six counties in addition to Haywood. Sampson. Guilford, Iredell, ( lav and Edge combe. The remainder of the time she was assigned to Raleigh and has worked and studied with the State Extension Service, visiting various counties for special obser vation. She was greatly interested in the TV A in Clay county, explain ing that in Brazil they are sadly in need of water control, for in ""some parts of the country they have droughts, while in others there is too much rain. . . . "But vve are making progress, for wo are send ing people uy here to see what America is doing and v e are mak ing a pattern out of your comftry for our country," she added. Few visitors in Haywood county will ever have such lavish hospit ality as Miss Moreno has enjoyed. Every night was spent in a rural home, while in the daytime she worked with Miss Margaret Smith, county home agent. Her first two nights were spent with Mrs Henry Francis, and the other?; with Mrs. Carl Green, Fines Creek. Mrs. I). Reeves Noland. Mrs. A. .1 Mc Cracken, Mrs. Glen rainier, and Mrs. Paul Hyatt.

"I hope to' take back to my people ideas about home demon stration work. 4-H Clubs, and nur sery schools. Brazil will be divid ed into four parts when we four girls get back. Each of us will be given a section in which to or ganize and supervise the work of these groups. It will be wonder ful for our people. We have not had government agencies as you Jiave here, but we hope to help our people to better living, just as you have here in America. You have a fine plan of Extension Ser vice and the workers are so well hosen. Your Miss Smith here, everybody loves in your county. I can tell by the way they treat her." "There is only one thing I do not like about America. I hate to say good-bye. Every place I visit I think I would like to stay al ways, lor the people are so friend ly. Your country is wonderful, but the people more yet," conclud ed the Brazilian girl, who returns in November to her native country, where she has high hopes of help ing her people to a fuller life.
