The headlines of this newspaper last Thursday proved that the con flict is growing closer and closer home. On the 18th of this month some 70 men will go to Charlotte and there stand their pre-in- duction examinations. Of course not all of them will pass their physical, but many will. From that point it Is active service. On the same front page is the story of an other Haywood man missing in action. This adds to several already reported as missing in the Korea battlefrcnts. This whole thing has come rather gradual, and without the explosive force of the last war. Some peopde are still reluctant to call this war, but with draft boards active, men marching, tragic reports coming back, and the call to arms growing louder and louder, it is hard to make anything else out of it all but war just plain grim, and horrible war. This one thing we are postive, and that is the men who go from Haywood will be of the same high type soldier, sailor, or aviator which has fought so bravely and gallantly in previous wars. They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo Monday Afternoon, September 1 1 , Monday Afternoon, September 11, 1950 Another Fine Church Duildins The Baptists of the Bethel section yester day marked a forward step in the construc tion of their new and modern brick church over on the highway. The contents of the fireproof box which was placed in the comer stone of the church will be of much historical value to the genera tions to come. ' Too often we take for granted that this and that will be remembered down through the years, but time has a way of erasing such memories, and blotting out recognition that so many people deserve. The plans of the Bethel Baptists call for one of the best built, and convenient church plants in any rural area. It will be one many of which Haywood can well be proud of By-Passing Our Towns and Cities Used to be that every town in North Caro lina wanted to be on a main highway and have this highway run right through the cen ter of the business area. It was believed that this would promote local business. We recall the time that NC-10 was built a cross the state. The engineers decided to run the route in a direct line between Statesville and Hickory. This, however, would eliminate the town of Newton, county seat of Catawba County, and the people of Newton raised so rnifch cain that is was necessary to build an alternate route which was known as NC-l6A. But what a change has taken place in re cent years! Towns have begun to realize that "the business which travelers leave in their midst is inconsequential. On the other hand, through traffic clutters up the streets and helps bring about additional traffic problems. And so, instead of clamoring for more through traffic, practically every town is now de manding by-passes. The by-passes are being constructed in all parts of North Carolina. The town of Clinton in Sampson County, has one on either side of it. The same is true of several other towns in the state, in due course of time, chances are that you, will be able to travel clear across the state without having to pass through the down-town section of any city or town. ' : The State. A Tough Job Officers had a right to wear weary looks last week as they went about the. momentous task of trying to solve several cases and find escaped convicts. Starting out to find four men in a country like this is a harder job than the average per son might expect. By out-smarting two of the convicts, the officers soon had them back on the rockpile. Two others, hardened by vears of experience in and out of prison, kept well away from the keen eyes of the officers. At the same'time, several other crimes were committed, which added to the burdens of the officers. Not many people would have worked through hard rains, trudged through thick forests on steep mountain sides looking for two dangerous convicts in the dark as did a large number of officers here last week. The officers knew the men whom they sought were dangerous, and desperate, and would ask no odds in harming anyone getting too close. After seeing, and talking to the officers as they returned from hours of searching, we are more convinced than ever that it is a man's job, and one that requires more stamina than carrying a gun.

Capital Letters By TOM OUTLAW FURTHER DELAY? Due to de-Hina Publishers W "Elderly" Takes On A New Meaning Early in life we were taught to respect our elders, and never speak of them as old people. Down through the years it has been only natural to use the term elderly, when we ap plied it to the age of a person we knew to be "up in years." A recent experience has taught us that the word "elderly" is obsolete, unless used in con nection with a person who has seen the snows of more than 90 winters. A long time ago, we felt that a person of three score and ten years was considered "elderly." We used the word recently in speaking of a kind, "young woman" who was bnrn in 1 flflfl anA elm i i uv,u, mm one icuuncu us lu no enu, i "' urn.vuu in some areas pointing out that just because the records!

Since we have just had it impressed upon us that we too have had another birthday, and in counting back to the date of our birth, we are inclined to agree that perhaps the word "elderly" should be applied to those of 90 years, and over. But even then, with a gracious tenderness of envy. mands of the Slati.

Now if the Supreme Court rules that Negro children must go to school with. whites in order to re ceive the same educational ad vantages, each cily and each coun ty, acting of course with specific instructions from the State, must employ these funds for additions to schools now in use for white children and for the erection of one building where plans now call for two. County and city school authori ties thus might do well to await the decision on the Durham case before proceeding further with their school building programs.

THE MISSING LINK Rambling 'Rou Bits Of Human Interest NW5 By Frances GHbert Frazier He was torn between two desires, either one of which would have been entirely satisfactory under ordinary circumstances.
