Nothing on earth could he further from the creeds I intend ed following than to murder a fel low man but 1 had no choice and I forgot everything but that I was lighting for eternal peace. Then it all stopped, as far as I was concerned. They laid me un der the poppies in Flanders Field and put a wnue cross over my head. And on occasions there was a flag placed there in memory. A red, white and blue flag. The red was for my blood, the white for the pain and agony I had en dured and the blue for the future and the life I had given up that there might never be another war. While I lay there sleeping peace fully in the belief that the price I and millions of other men had paid was well worth the sacrifices. rumblings disturbed me. There is only one sound that has its duplication in war and that is an other war. I could not rest and mv soul was tormented. Surelv the promises made to us hadn't been forgotten so soon, and the promise of eternal peace just a torn tatter of paper. I determined to come back in spirit and !earn why this horrible travesty on decency had been re peated. I wish now that I had continued to sleep, for I would never have learned the selfishness and greed that dominates this world. My rest would have been far more restful, I should think, than those whose conscience must surely keep them awake at night. How tan they close their eyes and not see the mutliated creatures that were once men, praying for death to relieve them of their torture?

Th e wood Company Waynesville Great Smokies See Heavy Travel Travel in the Great Smokies is increasing in popularity to such an extent that June saw more per sons and vehicles on park roads than any month since the war. John Morrell, park ranger, visit ed Waynesville last week from his station at Gatlinh lrg. and ex pressed himself as being pleased with the surfacing of the road from Lake Junaluska to Dillsboro. This cut-off will eonnert u,iih ih. Soco Gap-Cherokee highway and euuee travel from Asheville to the park about 22 miles. The Smokemont entrance into the park area is becoming increas ingly popular, it was pointed out. A count at all entrances showed 160,359 persons riding in 46,598 ve hicles entered the Smokies during June, nearly twice the number of visitors during May and well over the 97,490 who were there in June, 1945.

"We just can t find them any where," the ladies wail. Bobby pins are one of several small shortages that have devel oped in recent weeks, since Army wives arrived to undertake the strange adventure of housekeep ing in a foreign land. "I have a $1,000 rug on my floor and a $600 set of china in my cupboard." said one wife, "but I'd give my eye teeth for some wax ed paper and a good old fashioned American mop." "And for some real cleansing powder I don't know what I wouldn't give for that." Luxury Plus Shortages She and other wives have found their new life full of unaccustom ed luxury and minor but annoying shortages. They come into requisitioned German homes full of expensive furniture, but bare of curtain and sometimes empty of table lamps. Usually there is much to be done in the way of plumbing and window pane repair. Most families have to share their resi dence during daylight hours with crews of German painters and plasterers. Battered Berlin has been a source of much amazement to young American children. One mother said that when she and her small son first arrived, he kept gazing in wonder and ex claiming: "Look at all that dam age. Mamma!" "Now," she said, "when ho sees a house in good condition, he asks: 'Why isn't that one blown down?' " In terms of food, these depend ents are one of the best-supplied classes in the world. "We can buy all the fresh bread, butter, and steak we ran possibly eat at the Army commissary.'' said one wife. "We are really better off in that way than we were in America."

GARRETT FURNITURE STORE Main Street Waynesville mm Use The Classified Advertisements Racket in Fake Atomic Bomb Shares in Canada MONTREAL, An "Atom Bomb" share-selling racket involving more than $500,000, in which several per sons were swindled of large sums of money on promise of rich divi dends, has been disclosed here by Provincial police. Development of a "new atomic bomb" promised rich dividends, prospective shareholders were told, and one Montreal citizen was re ported to have handed over $20,000 in belief the new scientific wonder would pay off a fortune. money drained through blood-soaked invasions? How can they see their children innocently playing about and not visualize a future will grip these same children in the ferocious death struggle of war? Or do they calmly think their ill gotten gains will form a shield of protection? The millions of men whose bodies have gone back to the dust from which they sprang, will rise in a mass some day and demand an answer, and when they do I be lieve I will be happier under these poppies in Flanders Fields than those men who will cower and hide behind their flimsy excuses just as they have always done. But there will be an answer, you may depend upon that. As I say, I am all confused right now, and someday I may under stand but until I do my spirit will roam restlessly through the ages.
