NATIONAL DITORIAI ASSOCIATION l) Id JSOurt sSHonh Carolina w4k WTSJ ASSOC lATIOKt THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 19-15 Maybe A Lucky Break There may be times when there won't be any soft drinks at all during the next few months according to Joseph W. Milner, presi dent of the American Bottlers of Carbonated Beverages. He pointed out during the week that the war may be over but the sugar shortage is not and that the supply of soft drinks for the remainder of the year will be the smallest of any period since war was declared. It sounds like it would be a fine time to learn to drink water. Certainly in this vicin ity it is an appetizing beverage, and we must admit more healthful, for it is said that most of us do not drink enough of it. Pacific Policy There is nothing wrong with the Navy's proposal for a system of strategic bases in Pacific Ocean, but there is quite a little wrong with the things that are being said about it, according to Maj. George F. Eliot. What is wrong with the continued use of such expressions as "defense bases," when the "defenses in the Pacific should be for the security of the Pacific," the Major points out. There is no such thing, he claims, as national defense any more, and American security in the Pacific is either just a part of a world-wide system of security or it is a delusion and a snare. In other words, we mu.it get it through our heads that the old conditions under which we thought of "defending" the sea approaches to the United States are gone forever. Our responsibility on the seas is the control of all oceans of the world, in con junction with the British, the only other major naval power. It is therefore, not a Pacific job, or an Atlantic job, or a Mediterranean job, but it is a world job, and must be considered in this light. We on the home front may feel that this is ather far away from our lives, right here in Haywood county, but for lack of this world wide vision we have paid a big price. We have an idea that the men returning from combat areas are going to help us get a true picture and a larger vision of the fact that no longer is America safe and isolated, but part of a world pattern. For The Crippled We see that Dr. Clyde A. Erwin, State superintendent of education, hopes to start some type of educational program within the next few years for the 24,000 crippled chil dren of the state who are unable to attend school. Dr. Erwin's theory is that these children through education can become an asset to their communities. He believes the best plan would be to have visiting teachers in all sections of the state. These teachers would go to the homes several times a week or daily and would serve as private tutors. This strikes us as a very fine plan to look after this large group in our state, but in cases where it is possible we would advocate attendance at school, even though the child might not be able to take part in all the activities, they would get the spirit .of co operation and of the group idea, which would tend to help them cultivate a normal outlook. We recall a few years ago how a small crippled boy went to school in Hazelwood, and how his classmates helped him along, and hia presence in school helped him as well as made the student and his associates more thoughtful and eonsiderate. We hope tbet.Dr. Erwirl carries pat his ideas and that these -24,000 children may learn through education to help themselves. Hospitality Appreciated The FBI and the law enforcement ollkers who met here last Thursday in their semi annual meeting were high in their praise of the brand of hospitality they received at the hand of the town and county. We are always lad when an occasion brings visitors to this section, and certainly the fact that they came from Shelby to Murphy and even from Knoxville and Creen ville, showed that they also expected this meeting here to be of exceptional interest. The meeting was held in the Armory, which has proved to be a most useful build ing to the public for many occasions outside its original purposes of the state guard unit, j It is one of the monuments of the VVPA j which were built during the depression but will fill the needs of communities for years to come. Maybe in the long run these projects will not be so extravagant as we thought at the time.

He also told of the development of the jet propelled bombers that will fly 500 to 600 miles an hour and bomb targets 1,500 miles distant. He is certain that bombers will be able to travel faster than the speed of sound.

It began with 50 midshipmen and seven faculty members, headed by Commander Buchanan, the first superintendent. James K. Polk was president of the United States at the time. Now there are 3,000 shipmen and a hun dred officers and instructors. The midshipmen come from all 4H states, and Alaska, Porto Rico, and some of the South American coun tries, according to Bob Lee. So far 20,000 officers have graduated from the academy and the number is expected to double within a few years. We hope all shipmen are as enthusiastic as Bob l.ee, for if they are we know we can continue to trust the Navy on the high seas to help police the world. J. C.

We are getting too many national holidays." If the Eoosevelts sought public ity in their personal lives, it looks like tho Trumans are going to the other extreme. We would .say that Mrs. Truman is positively "anti Eleanor." The present First i.ady says that woman's place is in the home. This, of course, is true in its most ideal slate and many a woman who leaves hers for a job each morning would in many cases much rather stay there, but all of us are not so lucky. According to Time magazine, Mrs. Truman does not intend to be present at press conferences for women reporters. It seems that even the secretaries at the White House do not know what the President's daughter is studying at George Washington University. Drew Pearson, who gives us an earful of Washington in his. "Merry Go Round," writes that Mrs. Truman has spent all her life as a housewife and in tends to continue doing so. That is Dr. Sam Slrlngtield "No..

They can do this without giving up their home ties, or neglecting their fam ilies. And after all she must re member that she is the wife of the President of the United States and that the American people have al ways been and will always be h terested in the President's family. They feel they have the right to know about them for they belong to our country and are ours just as the King and Queen of England mean much to their people.

BIGGEST NEWS of the week the members of the Eastern Star found some ham to serve to three civic clubs last Thursday night even went further than that, and had ham gravy on good dry rice. It was the first ham some of the members had seen since the "good old days." BEST STORY of the week will go imprinted, because of the mod esty of the men involved. The other Week helps make it so. More and more as people come to read the Bih'e as a habit, the tendency to ward injustice, strife and violence will decline. "Until the Bible is accepted as lhe basic guide-book of conduct in all countries, we shall periodically witness the undermining of civili zation. "We invite the support of all right thinking people in this move ment non-secular in nature, but all inclusive in character and mean ing." Long ago the Psalmist reminded those who would know how lo face the decisions and meet the prob lems of life to pray. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feel, and a light unto my path." Taken from the longest book in the Bible, the 119th Psalm, each verse indicates in great variety man's absolute de pendence upon the word of God for daily guidance. The Bible is still reported to be the best seller, and there are more copies of it in the world than any other book. Unfortunately, many of these copies are unread or un studied by the owners. It is quite probable that the average Ameri can citizen spends far more time with his newspaper than he does with his Bible. National Bible Week could profit ably be a reminder to us to resolve to read the Bible through during the year just ahead. It can be done by reading three chapters each week day and five chapters on Sunday. Most of us have the time to do that, if we will admit it, and we can be assured it will be a profitable experience. It is a guide-book for this world and the next, and it is surprising what it yields to regular and prayerful study. day.
