(Continued from page 1
nor and leader in the liberal winfj
of the Republican party, bis ap
pearance al Junaluska offered fur
ther proof of his leadership in re
ligious work as well. As was ex
pected, he detoured from political
predictions and national questions,
while at the same time emphasiz
ing the church member's responsi
bility in "basing the world's future
on the linn foundation of Christian
ideals.
"Since the end of the war," he
stated at the start of his talk,
"there have been endless questions
of boundary lines around nations
. . . in Trieste, Italy, and China.
However we should focus attention
on a problem much more intense: ,
What will happen to the minds audi
hearts of the youth of this world
after this war? Will it be a gen
eration of bitterness ... or one
with hope and faith in the future?"
Considering their tragic experi
ences during the conflict on one
hand, and the greatness of prob
lems lying ahead: the clashes of
international ideology, the possibil
ities of atomic power, Mr. Stassen
asked: "Shall we sink from it? '
America, he declared, has the
"talent" for leading lo the wav of
peace, and must not be afraid and
hide it. Mr. Stassen fa Baptist)
commended the Methodist leaders
present for turning now to rebuild
ing their foreign missions as a
step of first importance.
He urged vigorous support of
United Nations b.v the church. In
ternal ional questions should be
solved "not on the basis of nation
alities but on the dignity and rights
of man . . . We must think of
others."
Mr. Stassen told then of the
initial landing of American troops
in Japan after peace had been
signed. When the first Allied pris
oner of war camp was reached by
the party bringing medical sup
plies, the prisoners, most of them
suffering with malnutrition urged
that the party go further to an
other camp w here the people were
in more need of medical care.
Such incidents, he declared, were
proof that "man, created in God's
image, is inherently interested In
the welfare of his neighbor," and
not primarily a selfish person. .
At the beginning of the program,
Dr. F. S. Love, assembly superin
tendent, announced the speaker,
and after a musical selection Mr!
Stassen was introduced by Bishop
Clare Purcell whom he had met
a few months previously when at
Rock Hill, S. C, on a speaking
engagement. In his opening re
marks the tall, heavy-set speaker
remarked of his previous visit to
this section while attending the
Governor's Conference at Asheville
several years back.
His home is at St. Paul, Minn.,
and his family is remaining there
during his trip into-North Caro
Ina. He resigned as governor of
that state to enter the navy, serv
ing almost three years before be
ing discharged early this year. He
could not avoid, even at Junaluska,
his political reputation where In
troductions and comments by oth
ers pointed to his past and possible
future. Mr. Stassen off the plat
form was friendly and natural to
all. Although he would make no
remarks of strictly political nature
he was a good listener, and does
not appear to be a man who would
dodge responsibility.

credited course located in Hay wood
county that there would be a min
imum of 40 students to enroll
With the school year divided into
Vhree quarters, registration and
classes for the first quarter will
begin Sept. 1G. Dr. Ashbrook slates1
that "We will offer standard fresh- j
man work. Classes will meet four,
periods a day. at 4 and 5 in the I
afternoon, and at 7 and 8 p. m.
each night, Monday through Fri-j
day." I
A tentative list of subjects in
clude English, History. Science.
(Biology and possibly Chemistry i.
Sociology, and Mathematics, with
possibly, a foreign language as an
elective. Such a course meets the
normal requirements of all insti
tutions, and would be transferrable
to Carolina, Duke or an? other
school connected with the Southern
Association.
Costs of schooling would be
small. Veterans would take it un
der the GI Bill, which pays all
their expenses, including books,
paper and special fees, and also be
eligible for the regular subsistence
allowance; $90 per month if mar
ried, $fi.1 if single. Veterans are
allowed to work up to 35 hours
a week on a regular job without
such income interfering with this
allowance, Mr. Williams points out.
Non-veterans would be charged
at the rate of $325 a school year
for tuition, part being paid at I he
start of each quarter. This figure
does not include library and labora
tory fees, which would vary ac
cording to the subjects taken.
Administration of the course
would be under W. C. T. C. and Dr.
Killian will take charge of the
opening day registration. He will
also give the pro-entrance classifi
cation tests, which are scheduled
for the afternoon of Tuesday Sept
3rd.
Personnel data sheets in which
preliminary application for the
course is made will be on band at
Supt. Messer's ofTico on Monday,
Aug. 26. All persons who nlan to
take the course are urged to fill
out one of these papers in order
to complete arrangements for the
classification tests. They may be
filled out any time between !) a. m
and 5 p. m. on Aug. 2fi.
One or more full-time teachers
will be furnished by W.C.T.C.. and
the other instructors will be select
ed from qualified teachers in the
county. Additional library and
laboratory facilities will he in
stalled. Persons interested in taking only
one subject can register for it and
be charged proportionately. How
ever, most students will take the
full first-year schedule. There will
be two sections of students, the
first meeting their classes before
supper and the other meeting aft
erwards a preference which stu
dents should indicate at the pre
liminary registration.
