It was also pointed out that due to the armed forces, except when they used chartered buses to take men to induction centers, usually routing the men in uniform by train, the bus travel was nut ex pected to fall olT, as then' were so many people moving about the country. As thousands are dismissed from war plants and are seeking employ ment elsewhere, many of them go ing back to their own homes, the local bus station manager does not anticipate any decided drop in trav el. The end of the war seems to have brought a great deal of unrest and people who have been constant on the job are taking hard earned vacations, in part is attributed to the heavy travel which continues to hold up.

Policeman Hull noticed the car in Fast Waynesville going more than sixty miles and tried to stop the driver who only speeded up during the chase up the full length of the street.

Golden Era Of Building Homes Is Predicted Waynesville is attracting; not only tourists from everywhere, hut permanent residents, who are wel come as a part of the great caval cade that depicts the development and progress of Haywood county - and ils recognition as a good place to live by those from other sections. The records of the oHice of the Hegister of Deeds of Haywood county which started back in lflOf! -137 years ago, for generations were monotonous with old familiar names recorded year in and year out. During' the past few years the picture has changed. New names strange to this seel ion that arouse interest have been addded in larger numbers than ever before in the history of the county --as others have discovered the many advantages offered here. The owners of these new names have injected new life into our community. They have brought new ideas. They have made a val uable emit ribiil ion to ing path of progress the widen that marks this section. How their owners found this section and why they chose to come here to live oilers a wide range of interesting stories. For il has been the desire of (he Chamber of Commerce for years to bring this to pass. With climate and natural resources of this area to share with others, those who have lived here always have hoped these opportunities would attract new home seekers.

No. 1, who has served with the j 7th Armored Div ision, the Amer-! ican "Ghost" division, is now await- j ing redeployment in Germany. j His division "haunted" the! enemy from Xormandy to the shores of the Baltic. Offensively.! it battered its way over mountains: and through forests as well as over ! plains against defenders who had the advanfage of well-prepared po- ; sitions. The finest of the German army and the worst of nature never dimmed its spirit nor stunted its power. In a combat life which ran from August 10. 1944. to V-E Day, May 9. 1945. the Seventh, among other things took 113.041 prisoners, destroyed 621 armed vehicles and captured 89 more, de stroyed 583 field pieces larger than .50 mm and captured 361. After the Seventh landed in France it! ioined the Thh-H A and General Patton rolled the big Seven across the fields of Prnnno after the St. Lo break through. Pre-War Prices Are Promised The OPA says: You'll pay for the new consumer durable goods -like washing machines the price you would have paid before the war, or very little higher. This was the rule laid down re cently by the agency to keep prices from getting out of hand. It was one of ;he most important state ments to come from the govern ment in the whole rush to change over to peace. OPA Boss Chester Bowles said that at pre-war prices for the new durable goods, manufacturers and everyone else down to the retail store "can look forward to excel lent profit based on a high sales volume." In its first post war pricing of consumer durable goods. OPA or dered 1942 ceilings on household washing machines, ironers, and al uminium kitchen ware. Bowles said: ""So that each fam ily will be able to buy a new washing machine or ironer to (it its needs, ils purse and its prefer ence, we are requiring manufac turers to (urn out the same pro portion of low price units as they made during the prewar years. Bowles believes the washing ma chines and aluminium kitchen ware should reach the stores in quantity this fall. Production of ironers will be slower.

Governor Asks Draft Officials To Stay On Job The Selective Service system was established for the "duration" and the "duration is still with us". Gov ernor Cherry said last week in a statement in urging all trained Se lective Service ollicials to remain al their posts until properly dis charged, regardless of their perso nal opinion regarding continuance of the dratt. "We all have the inherent Ameri can privilege to have our personal opinion and through proper chan nels we have the right to question the necessity for a continuance ol the Selective Service under pres ent conditions. However, it would seem proper and fitting that the trained Selective Service ollicials should continue in their respective positions until honorably discharg ed " That procedure, the governor said, is required of members of the armed forces.
