NATIONAL 6DITORIAI A AT ON -X" North Car'jlmo vis, JJISSAS50C I ATKJ Vj Till RSDAY, MARCH 2S, 19lfi Is It True? With no intention of sounding an alarming note, but like the rest of the people, we would like to know whether or not demobili zation of our armed forces has been halted by the government ? We have read recently that the War De partment denies such and states that rumors are being twisted into supposed facts. Per haps the burnt child dreads the lire, and this time we are more alerted to foreign affairs and what they could mean to us. We have noticed that our own discharges in this local area have dropped off, but we also realize that this could mean other things. On Second Thought After talking it over with their chaplains we read only 29 out of :?50 G. I.'s who had applied for otttcial permission to marry Aus trian brides, wanted more time to think it over. The 321 were a brave lot. The army tried to throw a stumbling block in the way of international romance. The G. I.'s were told that the Austrian brides would have no special privileges, no army medical care, food or housing, and besides the brides must pass a test on "political re liability." We wonder about that last item. Just how could they tell whether or not an Austrian bride was or was not "politically reliable." An Opportunity A rare opportunity will be given the citi zens of this co'nmunity this afternoon and tonight with the appearance of the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra here in two concerts. It is said that the state is making great strides in music appreciation, and through the state orchestra large groups may be reached. While our local high school band may be a modest nucleus in comparison with the state symphony, we feel that it and similar groups throughout the state have given impetus to a more widespread interest and appreciation of music. We trust every person who can possibly do so will attend the concerts and see that if there are children in their family they are also present at one of the concerts. Medical Care First The most important next step in the many advances North Carolina has made since Governor Aycock launched the educational program and Governor Morrison the good roads program is the medical care program to provide more doctors and adequate health care for the people of North Carolina. The meeting to advance this as the first and para mount need of the state held recently at Thomasville was attended by a large group Of the most forward-looking men in the state end they made preliminary plans for launch ing the program for health and hospitaliza tion and medical education which was ap proved in principle by the 1945 session of the General Assembly and which must be adopted in full by the 1947 session if North Carolina Is to do its duty in the matter of health, the primary need. The large number of rejections of North Carolinians who were called to military serv-; Ice during World War II was a cause for state humiliation and was an imperative call for the early- carrying out of the well considered plane of the wisest men and Women in the state. Raleigh News and Observer. What Next? THE GREAT PAQ HANDICAP We see where we are to have paper cur tains that will sell for $1.00. They are made of a new shower-resistant parchmentized paper, and they come in solid colors, trimmed with white ruffles, polka-dotted in matching colors. This news will no doubt be hailed with joy and gratitude by housewives not only for the no-laundry qualities, but also because they will be able to buy any kind of curtains. PfACE Good Tobacco Crops For several years The First National Bank has ollered substantial cash prizes to tobacco growers averaging the highest iter pound price for their entire crop. Much interest was shown again this year, and four Hay wood growers received between them the $100 in cash offered by the bank. It is interesting to note that all the four winners live on route two, which indicates that area must be ideal for raising tobacco, as well as good farmers living on the farms in that section. However, regardless what t ho HUT, record indicates, you will find good farmers, tilling good soil in every .section of tell Haywood, and any tobacco expert will you that Haywood is forging ahead in quality of tobacco produced. tht Softball Here Again The news that this community will have an active Softball league this season is wel comed here. For several years the home folk and summer visitors enjoyed the games at the high school stadium at night. Then the war took most of the better players, and the league suspended for two years. This season brings about a revival of play, with most of the experienced players back, and anxious to get into uniform. The games this year give promise of being played on a faster scale than in the years past, due to experience in the service, and the general increase in speed brought on by practice. This sport has always been popular in this community, and with spirited teams, larger crowds than ever can be expected. J' . Sri .it Voice OF THE People POINTED PARAGE WALTER ALLISON Would you like for the nation to resume daylight savinss time this summer? Herman Francis "No. I would approve of keeping on just as we are." It. L. "Yi lime Coin s. I think daylight is a good system." ,1. II. Way, Jr. I "No. I would not. It ! right :is a war-tune measure 1 is not for peace." ens a hut HERE and THERE By HILDA WAY GWYN A Dangerous Practice The person or persons charged with the responsibility of looking after public safety, have apparently been off duty when the crowds line up in front of the ticket booth of the Park Theater. For some unknown reason, the line forms a large S by swinging out into the street, often beyond the parking line. This is a dangerous procedure, and inasmuch as the line is usual ly in the street after dark, it is all the more dangerous, as a driver coming up the street could easily be blinded against the crowd by glaring lights of an approaching car. Forunately no one has been injured to date, but with the increase of traffic, there is every reason why some measures should be taken to keep the line on the sidewalk. Fy swinging out in the street does not expedite the sale of tickets it just, endangers those in line. We trust that those responsible for public safety will take steps to correct this practice before someone is injured.

They have to live and make the most of their lives just as other business people do, even if we do like to idealize them with the theory "that teachers are born, not made." It is strange how the teachers have not received recognition of their service in mone tary appreciation as other professions have during the rising scale of salaries, yet in no field is there greater responsibility. When the state has set up certain stand ards for eligibility for teaching it is appalling to learn only three-fourths of our local teach ers have standard certificates. Yet one often hears the complaint that the children of today are only getting by in school. What else can we expect? Unless the salarieB of the teachers in North Carolina are raised, the future offers a discouraging situation. In a state as rich in revenue as North Carolina, it is hard to believe that this low scale will continue, when the people realize how they are sacrificing the opportunities of the rising generation. It is time for action in North Carolina and definite action which will result in salaries that will attract those qualified to fill the requirements set up by the educational authorities.

Theories on High Chair M B, CARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Pb.D. THE high chair ia a dangerous piece, of furniture unless the baby using it before the age of 12 or IB months of age is harnessed se curely in it or the youngster from this age on, till he is four or five years old, has learned so well the meaning of No as never to stand up in the chair. Because so few youngsters are securely fastened in the high chair or properly controlled, some au thorities on safety have said, "Away with the high chair" So also have numerous "child ex perts." They would have the tot sit for his meals in a very low chair beside a very low table as is the way in the nursery school. Several Children If there are several young chil dren in the family, they are sup posed to eat together in another room apart from the family or in the same room, no child eating at the "family board" till the age of eight or nine. This plan has some merit for the child who has not been adequately controlled or whose parents nag at him about eating. But if we consider the child's best education we shall have him in the family circle at meals. This presupposes use of a high chair. The child sitting in it as early as he can be physically comfortable there, is high enough to see all the rest of the family face to face and feel himself to be one of the group. I just can't imagine Karen, 3, and Kent, 2, eating alone in an other room or at a lot J same room wm, Ui , eaiing. tacti one of fJ about one year of aft J uie parents when tint. or us, at meals.
