NATIONAL EDITORIAL, ASSOCIATION KuClii Cnrnl.nn A. 'm AiiOClAI .US m 9 TUESDAY. SKPTKMHKR 17. 194 Peace On The Campus The American educational system is to become a boom industry this autumn, with its vast expansion centered in a few of the bii; named colleges in the country, with the University of North Carolina in the uroup. The influx of nearly a million veterans into the colleges and universities with the result of a "mass production" in learning is to be carried to a record volume. We are told that this vast expansion in enrollment is to change the traditional Amer ican ideas of a college education. Trainim; is to be largely centralized in college plants equipped for mass research and mass teach ing. More important, the type of training given is said to have changed from liberal arts academic to highly practical. Also new methods of adult education are evolving from the necessity of teaching older students. These changes are to be permanent, we are told. The Veterans Administration predicts that the peak of college enrollments under the GI Bill will not even be reached until 1950 and that the total number of . persons applying for enrollment will soar to.000,000 yearly for the next decade. The VA also believes that hi ",h school grad uates who cannot enter college because of veterans' priorities will create a backlog of potential students, that will keep enrollment up for a long time. We are sure that the foregoing facts com piled by the VA are true, for we know what is happening right here in our own county and the large number of veterans who are taking advantage of the educational oppor tunities offered under the CI Bill of Rights. There comes again the question, with the in creasing shortage of teachers how is this problem to be met? Welcome News The announcement that new switchboards and additional equipment will be added to the local telephone company office will bo welcome news to the citizens of this area. It is impossible for any office to give the service the personnel would like to dispense when the business has grown beyond its capacity for service. This condition has been both a strain on the personnel of the office and the public it has served, though we feel that both have been tolerant under the situation. We mutu ally anticipate the new era of adequate equip ment, from the standpoint of the operator and the user. Scholarships We see where one North Carolina mother has established three scholarships as memo rials to her son who lost his life in the war. They include scholarships at summer camps and in college. The scholarships embrace various phases of the life of the boy who died as a member of the American military forces for the liber ation of the Philippines. One scholarship is ,at the Protestant Episcopal church of Amer ica maintained in the Philippines. Its pur pose is to aid a Filipino in becoming a minister in the church. In cases where parents can afford this ex pression of their loss, it seems to us there could be no more satisfactory way of memor ializing their son. The interest that this mother, donor of these scholarships will have in each boy who benefits from her generosity will give her satisfaction and comfort to the end of her days, and she will be bound to feel that her "son still lives on." i ... i "Creeping Campaign Of Conquest" America is in danger of becoming involved in another war unless she stays ahead in modern weapons and keeps her fighting forces strong enough to halt an aggressor if it starts ''on its creeping campaign of con quest," according to Undersecretary of War Kenneth C. Royal. He pointed out that during the past few years his duties had taken him to parts of Europe, Asia and Africa and he had seen the results of totalitarian governments and pseudo-popular governmente, who use the name of democracy only as a screen for despotism---governments whose people have a standard of life far below anything' in America had even 200 years ago. In all this he stated he had seen unrest and ignorance and envy and suspicion of other nations the embers that could start another world con flagration. He is urging that America stay prepared and that in this very prepar; ion we will find protection. Americans must keep faith in their government, but no democratic na tion can rise above the level of the people's wishes. If Americans want their nation 1o be militarily weak, it will be that way, and if they lose faith in their government and their form of government neither will sur-! vive. He further pointed out that without I j the full support of the people of this nation, i the War Department or any other depart ment of government cannot succeed in its undertakings. If our nation must be ready to protect itself by being strong in its armed forces, even in peace, to avert a third world war, it seems only reasonable that we, as a people, should not object, yet we hear right here ;n our own community, the theory that if we are readv we invite a war. It looks that two experi ences in a quarter of a century would wake us up to the fact that those who have made a study of such things arc more capable of judging situations than the mass of the pub lic. Certainly paying for peace is not as expensive as paying the costs of another war. if SEPTEMBER 16-22 : 7mv - f y r- via i INS ss jfawi a 1 1 1 s' T ljp 7f k THE PtNriiVLMl;) rx Sjff0S!7 'fO-rT APPEARED. l&zWtffSV PHIlAPflPHIA'S H 1uW V FI5T SUCfEWFl'l.

TODAV VOICE OF THE PEOPLE In view of the conditions on Main street during the past three months would you favor installa tion of parking meters next year? ALONG BROAD By Walter Wjnpll C. V. Bell: "Yes, I would. I have observed them in other towns. If cars were given a certain length of time to park, it would help matters." Frances Massie: "No, I think the town is too small for parking meters." Stanley Brading: "Yes, I am for : parking meters. I have been in a ! number of towns recently where i they have been adopted and I think j it helps business. Waynesville will I have to come to it." I I Clyde II. Ray: "I don't think parking meters would help, but I i do think it would ease things up to allow parking on Main street on only one side of the street." Herbert Braren: "No, I do not think it would be advisable for a j town of this size." J KNOWLEDGE AND TIMER SHOUIWT BE MUCH USED TLL TJfLY Ah'E Chas. D. Ketner "No, I think those things are one big nuisance." h.V U. S. Ul U!l Lujj The Wrong Brand Down in Louisburg, Franklin county, in Eastern Carolina they have a candidate for the "meanest person," and personally we are inclined to think they might win out in anv competition. A rumor was started by some one that a school bus had wrecked ar.' killed three persons. An ambulance and taxi and as well as dozens of cars started in the vicin ity in which the wreck was supposed to have occurred. After two hours searching no wreck was found and neither could anyone be found who knew anything about such a wreck. The rumor grew and by late in the afternoon it was reported that two school buses had col lided and dozens were killed. Those rumors must have given mothers and fathers some pretty bad minutes. Kvcrv ef fort is being made to find and arrest tho origi nator of the hoax. To our mind this is the wrong brand of humor and instead of being a joke is tragic in its angle of anxiety which was ihe result of the wild tale. The guilty party may not feel that they have any criminal instincts, but we think they deserve punishment for the mental anguish their practical joke brought as much as if they had attacked someone bodilv. HERE and THERE By HILDA WAY GWYN j John Whitlock and John Miller make four bedsteads, one for each of his daughters and one for his i son's wife who lived at home. (We I wonder if any of those beds are j treasured in some Haywood county home today.) j In the headlines of a wedding j we read with interest. "Union of Two Hearts." Jury Reforms Needed Fresh proof of the need of jury reform in North Carolina has been furnished by the trial of Wall C. Ewing for the murder of his wife, now in progress in Cumberland oountv It required three days and the summon int. oi three venires, totalling 550 names, before a jury of 12 men was secured. Another day and the summoning of an additional venire of 75 was required for the selection of the thirteenth juror. Among the reforms needed is the abolition of peremptory challenges of jurors. It is the duty of the State Bar Association to propose reforms in the present archaic court pro cedure and to press its recommendations be fore the general association. If the Bar Association wants a guide for action it will be found in the following state ment by the late Benjamin Cardoza, a great Supreme Court justice. We live in a world of change. If a body of law were in existence adequate for the civilization of today, it could not meet the demands of tomorrow. Society is inconstant. So long as it is inconstant there can be na constancy in law law defines a relation not always between fixed points, but often be tween points of varying portions . . . There is change whether we will it or not. Raleigh News and Observer. We had occa.-.inii In look through an olfl m i :iilj!)ck kei! back in the 1 lino's recently and among bits of news from 1 hose days we found the following: Samuel Fitzgerald who died at the age of !( (li'.H:t was said "to have well nigh built the Waynes ville Methodist church (not the . resent one) anil organized the f.r -t Sunday .school in Haywood nunty."

Welch and the kind and generous donor. iYc wonder if the bell is still in use. i We read that in 18fifi there was a concert given in the courthouse for the benefit of the Raptist Church building and a number of selections were given by "The Brass Band." The "opening piece was by the band, a new institution and exceedingly creditable lo the young men of Waynesville. They attained rapid profieiencx and will prove a valuable acquisition to the interests of the town yet it may he suggested that a brass band is out of place indoors, where every sound echoes and reverb erates with deafening thunder like all the winds in combat in the cave of Aeolus." (There was evidently nothing the matter with the writers bearing nor bis power of expression ) . Did you know that the county hoard of health was first organized in Sept. 1893? Instead of a health officer there was a superintendent of health and the laws laid down by the health board seem very strango today yet we realize that they were the beginning of our present fine public health work.
