"SK HULLABALOO Bj LYTLE HULL LOVE THY COUNTRY There are literally millions of j Americans who live in the great ! cities of our land and who have no interest in going outside cf diem. To there people a ’•nation al park” means nothing. The "city park” is wild enough to suit them. But theie are othei millions who have had a glimpse of Amer ica and who appreciate the beauty spots of this greet country. And let us remark right here that! | ilitse same “beau .j spots’ are surpassed by no others on ibis earth. There are now ovei 25 areas— "each one a distinct type of orig inal wilderness of outstanding beauty” which have been protect ed by law—up to now—from com mercial exploitation. These areas together comprise the national park system. It is too bad they are so few, for there are hun dreds more areas of great beauty which are being destroyed by our perfectly normal anl understand able passion for the almighty dol lar. Good illustrations are: The ! cutting down of some of the giant j tree groves of Caifornia to pro- i vide « few sticks of lumber; and j the blasting out of the sides of the upper Hudson—(one of the world’s most beautiful stretches j of river)—to provide gravel and cement, These same products could be—and in some cases are j —mined well back from the river and brought to crushers and bar ges by traveling buckets swung on overhead cables. But this pro cess costs a few cents more and i the state legislature doesn’t want ; to be unkind to the gravel and I cement producers. The following paragraph is from ! the National Parks magazine: "The postwar period, as we see it today, appears fraught with plans for a vast expansion of commercial development. Attempts are likely to be made to involve the national park and monument systems in schemes that would make of these great nature res ervations mere political footballs and bring about the loss of their primeval character.” Now maybe signboards, dams, hot dog stands, cutover land and worked-out gravel pits would en hance the beauty of prater Lake, Yosemite, Glacier National park, the Grand Canyon, the Great Smoky Mountains, etc. But it would be difficult to so per suade the ever-increasing num ber of Americans who wiu be us ing the highways of this country, after the war, to get a little joy out of life. These people ese enough gasoline signs on the roads back home. Some day Americans are going to become America conscious— just as all the world is Europe con scious. Europeans are going to be flying and motoring over this country to see the magnificest sights which the rock crushers and sign board erectors have their postwar eyes on. The “joy of liv ing” tor a million years to come can be increased by the preserva tion of those areas of incompara ble beauty which are our national parks. Their desecration will be appai ent a million years after all records of this war have been lost. Their conservation is a trust which every real American should be conscious of and to which he shoull give a reasonable part, of his attention. This coun try was not created to be used up by just those who are alive today. We've done enough harm to it already—we owe the future something. Telephone men and women of Cherryville are among 32,000 who have received a special citn tion from the Army Signal Corps for loyal and patriotic teryitv-c tendered du:ing the national emergency. The award has tne same significance concerning communications which the Army N.i'v "E” award has in produc tion circles. Colonel F. J. Magee, Signal Of ficer of the Fourth Service Com mand, on Monday night presented to Southern Bell Telephone Com pany and its employees, a Certifi cate of Appreciation. The pre sentation featured a special cere mony at Atlanta, Ga. In accept ing the citation, President Hal S. Dumas, of Southern Bell, praised the war contribution of telephone men and'women and said he was “happy to accept in the name of all my fellow workers throughout the South.’’ Colonel Magee highly commend ed telephone men and women for their valuable contributions to the war effort. There were other features of the Program, in cluding a talk by Lieutenant T. N. Carmichael, a serviceman back from the Italian campaign. Several thousand persons attend ed the ceremony at Atlanta. Every telephone employee in Cherryville soon will have .a per sonal copy of the citation. A min iature replica of the certificate is being sent to all 32,000 Southern Bell people in nine state?, so that they will have a visible symbol of the honor which the Signal Corps is acocrding them for their “distinguished contribution” to the war drive. The citation reads: “The Chief Signal Officer of the Army of the United States extends his ap preciation to Southern Bell Tele phone and Telegraph Company for loyal and patriotic service render ed the Signal Corps of the Army of the United States in the ac complishments of its vital mission during a period of national emer gency. This acknowledgment of your distinguished contribution in furtherance of a future world at peace will be inscribed forever in the annals of the Signal Corps.’’ 8-HOUR-OLD CALF BEGINS GIVING MILK ELBERTON, July 17.—There’s a four-week-old calf here that’s the talk of Elbert county.

Jen kins COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR Washington, b. C. (NWNS)— [The success of some progiunis for converting pa>-t of the automobile I factories to civilian production as soon as the Geiman ph«se of the war ends will probably ha\ ; much to do with whether we ha'.e a major depression after the war or whether we will be able to turn from war prosperity to peacetime prosperity. At a meeting of the leading au tomobile manufacturers with the War Production board, blueprints were suggested by the WP15 for the production of 2,000,00i» auto mobiles within 12 months after X-Day (the day the war Ger many ends). Under the plan the automobile manufacturers would begin immediately to plan produc tion and place orders foi mater ials with the understanding that the materials would be delivered as soon as possible after X-Day. These orders for materials are called “blue orders,” probably de rived from the blue airraid signal designating the start of activities. The automobile industry lead ers, however, rejected the WPB i plan as impractical and intimated that they could not do much about conversion while they were totally engaged in war production. Since the automobile industry is the largest production group in our country, its ability to turn wartime jobs into peacetime jobs without an unemployment gap will determine how most other indus tries can handle this complicated conversion. It is believed by the government that if a plan is woik i ed out carefully enough, it may he possible for these giant coni eerns to shift gradually into civ ilian production. The plan was | to make cars similar to the *1942 | models, with the first cars eost jing the consumer at least 25 per cent more than the same car cost in 1942. But the present attitude of the industry leaders indicat. _ that the industry will not listen t™ such a plan at present. , If the government-industry conference plan does eventually produce a workable program for the conversion of automobile plants, it is probable that the WPB will get together with one in dustry after another to figure out how each can shift to civilian pro duction with a minimum of head aches and with as little unemploy ment as possible. One of the great problems in conferences of this kind is the ef fect they have on morale among the people. It is feared that if there is too much talk now about civilian production many people are apt to feel that the war is pretty well over. The attempt of large numbers of war workers to shift to peacetime jobs, which necessitated the freezing of men in war jobs beginning July 1, is the best example of this attitude. Actually the demands for war production in some vital indus tries is greater than ever right now and will continue indefinite ly. The War Manpower commis sion has made. several public ap peals recently for men who are needed in war factories, includ ing an appeal for large numbers of workers to help produce a new, secret weapon about which it will reveal no information. But the fact that manufacture of this new device is just beginning makes it clear that the planning in Wash ington is based on the war contin uing for some time to come. Conversion must be planned while the war is going on so in dustry will be ready for it the day war production lets up, but the greatest difficulty is to conpince the people that peacetime plan ning does not have anything to do with the expectation of an ear ly peace and that any letup in war work now will delay peace. From where I sic... ly Joe Marsh r Soldiers’ Wives and Post-War Married Life [ A psychologist offers some mighty sensible advice to hus bands and wives separated by war. He believes “lack of toler ance’* rather than loss of affec tion Is most likely to cause post war marriage difficulties. The wife has built wonderful pictures of how perfect life will be when her husband gets back. And he dreams of evenings with her by the fire with a glass of beer, friendly conversation, and no problems or worries. Cf course, it isn’t true that Just getting back together will make life perfect. There’ll be the same domestic problems, the same complications and adjustments, as always.

C, When Actions Speak Louder Than Words L I I I I The patriotic manner in which telephone men and women have carried aa since Pearl Harbor speaks louder than words. When war started telephone workers were already in the midst of the greatest construction program ever undertaken. As war progressed their job grew more com plicated. However, every war telephone service demand was met on or ahead of schedule, though it meant work ing long extra hours day after day. • While doing this tremendous war job, the urgent tele phone needs of the public were not forgotten. There are today more than 500,000 more telephones in service in the Southern Bell territory than in 1940, and service is being maintained in spite of the fact that nearly one-third of •ur male employees are in the armed forces. Telephone operators are now completing more than 450,000 more calls each month than in the summer months of 1940. Accepting their responsibilities as citizens, telephone folks have purchased millions of dollart of War Bonds and are continuing to invest more than ten per cent ol their regular wages every month in bonds. You will find them doing Red Cross work—nurse’s aid work—donating their blood-—in fact you’ll find telephone folks in nearly g every civic movement designed to aid in our war effort and the betterment of the communities in which they live. Telephone workers' have accepted their wartime re sponsibilities, appreciating the vital part they have in the successful prosecution of the war—shouldering their tasks cheerfully and unselfishly as the men in anas shoulder their guns. £.
