Much Interest Is Being Shown In Ramp Convention Everything is pointing to a record-breaking crowd for the 22nd annual Ramp Convention, on Sun day May 13th, at Black Camp Gap. Clarence c. Medford. secretary, said interest in the event is bring ing in many inquiries, and national stories oh the occasion have been sent to scores of states. Thid Eure, secretary of State, will. again be the speaker. A place he ,has had on the program for many years. Mr. Medford said the latest re ports were that the recent warm rains bad put the millions of ramps to growing, arid tfiat by the 13th, the crop should be plentiful, and "very tasty."

Of Far East The big question of the Truman Mai Arthur controversy is "How to Salvage Japan", said John Brewer, a former member of General Mac Arthur's staff, and a student of the Far East political, and economic situation. Mr. Brewer addressed the Rotary Club here Friday, and discussed the -highly controversial question, pointing out that General MacAr thur was looked upon by the Jap anese as "A king, or a god". The general had saved the face of the Japanese; he understood their' ways, and their way of thinking. He had their confidence, and was their leader. "Had President Truman shot At loe. the King of England, and Winston Churchill, it would have had the same affect on the Eng lish people, as firing MacArthur has on the Japanese people," Mr. Brewer said, "We must remember that there are 80 million "tough fighters among the Japanese they fight different ly than Americans, and we must realize this, as well as realize that the Russians are much of the same temperament." One Japanese wrote Mr. Brewer that "a mighty big tree has been cut down by a small hatchet." Mr. Brewer did not approve of General MacArthur's manner of going over the head of his commander-in-chief; neither did lie approve of the method President Truman used in dismissing the general. "I think General Mac Arthur was fired improperly," he said. "The whole thing must be rather comforting to Joe Stalin," Mr. Brewer said, "but what I am afraid of is that Stalin. "like the Kaiser, and Hitler, fail to understand how Americans can differ on some sub ject, yet become united against a common enemy." After the address, Mr. Brewer answered many questions, among them one which "in his opinion, he did not feel that General Mac Arthur wanted to seek any political office, but would perhaps lend a great deal of influence in the na tional election." Mr. Brewer concluded his ad dress by pointing out that the situ ation in America whs critical. WAYNESVILLE, N.
