It is refreshing to learn that according to records issued recently North Carolina Vet erans of World War II are more interested in working for themselves than they are in drawing unemployment compensation from the government. On the other hand our Veterans are re ceiving substantially more in self-employment allowances than are Veterans in North ern states, but less in compensation for un employment, which we think is a good healthy sign that they are working toward their eventual independence. The self-employment allowances go to vet erans who go into business for themselves and fail to make at least $100 monthly to support themselves.. The unemployment compensation is received by veterans who are not working at all.

Lewis and his high handed way of taking things in his own hands, defying all powers that be. Likewise resentment is running high against the labor leaders as the results of his actions are being felt in the four corners of this country and even in other nations. One of the best overall pictures of the situation was given recently in an editorial in the Christian Science Monitor, excerpts of which follow: "Must John L. Lewis and his grip on a basic industry be smashed at any cost? Or might the cost be too enormous and should Mr. Lewis be bought off on the least burden some terms possible? "These questions which are being asked, prompted by the Southern operators' public aid to re-open negotiations and by reports of quiet conversations between the U. M. W. chief and certain key men in the coal in dustry. "The answer right now is that these ques tions must be rephased; that the situation cannot be 'painted in simple tffacfcs and whites. There are two distinct ajthough closely interwoven aspects to the' problem. They must be seen as two. "The Federal Government has at last thrown the signal (the redboard, railroaders call it) against John L. Lewis' Lig train. He has chosen to ignore it to fight it out in court on grounds that the government acted without legal right. The miners in the mean while, mine no coal. So Mr. Lewis' weapons are not all wielded by lawyers. "This legal battle must be fought out. There must no "deal" on that. The govern ment has chosen to try the injunction first. The country must find out whether it can be applied in this and similar emergencies under existing laws. "If it can, then Mr. Lewis and the U. M. W. must receive some sort of plenty. It should not be a mere scolding. After all, they have deliberately run through a block signal to ward chaos. If it can't, the Administration must try other tactics at once, and the new Congress must enact laws which give the government the powers it must have. "Negotiations, official or unofficial on these issues must go on. Progress would take the pressure off the government, the country and the mirfers. The fight must be pressed on all fronts in the courtroom, in Congress' and around the conference table. But in a situation so complex the best possible victory may have to be forged out of a composite of factors. It might represent some real gains for the public interest but still appear less clean cut than many would wish." We take the liberty to give a special invita tion to the people who live in the towns of Haywood county to attend the annual Achievement Day program of the organized rural groups which will be held in the court room here on Saturday morning. Attendance at one of these events is the best and most comprehensive way in which to mark progress in Haywood county. What is being done in rural and agricultural devel opment in Haywood can best be understood by the townspeople by hearing the reports, which are too lengthy to print, but give a full picture of the accomplishments of our rural citizens. We would not suggest any restrictions as to who should attend,, for the reports of the farmers, their wives and their children are all included in the day's program. We trust that the meeting in the morning will be the largest in attendance ever held here and that our invitation will be accepted by the townspeople, business, civic leaders and private citizens. as "50 YEARS A60 DAVID became British premivr fWORlPWARH CRIMINAL) VM5 HOWE FROM THE U.S. WHERE HE GttMAH MIlrMR ATT)CHE WASHINGTON DFLIVFRPDUiA L FAREWELL ADORpJi AT FRRUUCtS 7MeM, NEW yEARs A60 VOICE OF THE PEOPLE From the movies that you have seen this year, which picture would you recommend for an Academy Award?

Letters To The Editor I P0 VS NOT WATER OMA DKOXfiJlMMOUSH Copyright Idlli ,y ( HERE and THERE By HILDA WAY GWYN Eisenhower Candidate It would seem that General Eisenhower, with his heroic war record, is being a current political target, through no fault of his own. Columnists are writing about him as a poten tial candidate for president, and radio com mentators have taken up the subject. They have insisted that General Eisen hower's appearance at a recent meeting in Washington, can mean only that he is run ning for either the Republican or the Demo cratic nomination. The one big flaw ,it has been pointed out, is that in all that has been written and said, is that none of the writers or talkers has any idea of what is in the General's mind, them. He can't talk because to do so would be to violate the practice he has pursued ever since he has been in the army, which has been to refuse to comment upon any question of domestic politics, whether the point involved was one of policy or personality. In view of his war record, this friendly acclaim by his admiring countrymen is a natural reaction, but it may be embarrassing to the General. We may be guessing wrong, but we believe that General Eisenhower is wedded to his army career and will not for sake it for the political arena. There were a group of us and the conversation had taken a gloomy turn about the current con ditions of affairs which is mighty easy to do if you get on such things as the trials and tribulations of settling world peace, the fact that John L. Lewis is trying to freeze us all this winter and the sad fact that coal bins are often merelv dust spots these days with great says she looked twice to make sure she was seeing correctly. But there it was all in color having been completely fooled by the warm sunny days of November. Its blooms have decorated more than one of the recent parties in town.

WHALE OF PARTY BUT THE OYSTERS CARRY THE LOAD By JANE EADS this week for use Well Expressed We note that Great Britain is also having a new "broken homes" record with a rising number of divorces. The Archbishop of Can terbury, the Most Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Francis Fisher, in opposing proposals for "faster and cheaper" divorces might well be quoted in certain sections of America where it is be coming so easy to untie the marriage knots. "When many people are coveting their neighbors wives and husbands and then by legal process are obtaining them, it is an en couragement to others to think of doing the same thing," said the bishop. Whileon the subject it was gratifying to record a big drop in cases tried in the recent term of Superior court here. Open The Pipe Lines The need for oil for transport and Navy ships was so great during the war that Uncle Sam spent hundreds of millions of dollars to construct pipe lines to bring oil from the fields to the Eastern coast. With the end of hostilities, the pipe lines went into disuse and were advertised for sale. The offers were so low they were rejected and they are the property of the Federal government Iving idle. The pipe lines ought to be used to bring oil more cheaply to consumers on the East coast. To be sure, the big oil companies, the owners of coal mines, and like interests pre fer to discard them; but they are needed for industry as they were in war days. There is at this time another pressing rea son for utilizing these pipe lines. It is the scarcity and threatened greater scarcity of coal due to strike of the coal miners. If Lewis can tie up the country's transportation and industry by making coal scarce, the govern ment should bring coal to the industrial cen ters in the pipe lines it built for war needs. As a matter of fact, the country's interests would be served by competition between coal and oil all the time. This can be insured by operating the pipe lines in peace as well as in war.
