Not enough folk attended the Bl: *. w.% ? ? ... to My to tbe Class of 1948 that they are finishing an important milestone of their lives and are being graduated into a land of opportunity, fiow/ ing witb tbe Biblicalmilk and hpney. Tbe milestone business is very true, but tbe rest of it is somewhat different. For tbe young men of the class, eer talnly for most of them, it will be only a matter of reaching the age of 18 before entering the armed forces. Many will undoubtedly see service in tbe vast areas of the Paeifie theater aad enter Tokyo itself. Many of the young women ? and s many as can should ? will go to college and the other* will go to work and will learn practical application of what tbey have learned. To this fourth elaas which graduates into a world torn with war, the ' itfrald offers congratulations gad bids Its members Godspeed. la fewer years than they have already apept in school, th*. members of this 1 '' 1 i MiuBriHMvtiia ? pnpmm which wwiuki iii? otpta-l, cnurcn campaign May 21. It strikes ? that, for the future of the nation mad the world, the layman leadership much demand more effective leadership from the ministry ? with jpartlcmlar emphasis on the preachings of the Golden Bale doctrine. The speed with which United States service men, liberated after being prisoners of war, are being returned to the United States, 1s a joy to see. There is mneh abont the military that the average civilian doesn't like ?involving brutality, theoretical di regard for an individual's life, forfeiture of many of the individual's rights ? but the services get things done. And, in business, sport, or living, it's getting things done that counts. Hospital Bill On June 30, citizens of Cleveland eounty will take an important etep. Either they win vote or reject a county hospital program which is filled with benefits. The average citizen is inclined to think that $400,000 is a lot of money, at it is, though it diminishes when divided proportionately among I the taxpayers. The proposition is for the county to building a $160,000 hospital in Kings Mounta!n^~to assume the debt ($48,000) of the SSelby hospital, and ( to spend an additional $240,000 in expanding the facilities of the Shelby hospital. ?.#[ At first glance, since four questions are to be answered yes or no, it would appear that the voters could reject the proposition to build! the hospital here, end approve the j building program for the Shelby hoe- I pital, or vice-versa. This separate atatement of the propositions was unfortunate, but required through technicalities.' i However, and this is importan G. A. Bridges, chairman of (he eounty. board of - commissioners and a wellknown Kings Mountain citizen, says that the results of the vote will be all-or-nothing. Thntt is,"" the whole program will be approved or turned down. Cleveland county, along with the rest of North Carolina, is woefully lacking in the necessary number of hospital beds. We believe the bond 1 vote should be approved, on the basis of information presented thus far.

Doolittle said in a message to all personnel. j""Eaeh of you," he continued, "may be proud of your part in tho defeat of Germany. I am proud ol I you. The world is proud of you." The Eighth Air Fores was the . world's mightiest Strategic bombing force. Its personnel of 185,000 was the equivalent of 12 infantry divisions, and it could send 21,000 airmen in 2,000 four-engine bombers and 1,000 fighters over Germany at one time, a combat effort possible only ?ranrurfu- rnysapyw* yti' iWW' -ar"faw *' sands of noa-flylng specialists. ' 8inee August 1M2, when combat operations began, Flying Fortresses and Liberators of the Eighth dropped mors than 700,000 tons of bombs on enemy targets. Fighter pOTls shot down 3,250 Nasi plane* and dettroy' ed 4,250 others on the ground. Bomb er gunner* shot 3,000 German interceptors ont of the air. The Eighth dropped an average of .a ton of bomb* every minute of the . last 12 months. Airmen of the Eighth were the , first Americans to attark Geruany. 1, The early crews flew a handful of unescorted bombers against the pow! erfnl Luftwaffe, and proved the reas ibility of an American Idea?precis| ion daylight bombing over the Reich. 11 As the Eighth grew in strength, it was assigned the task of crushing j the German Air Force, wblrh had to | be done before the Allies could invade France. Bombers of the Eighth smashed Nasi aircraft production I A. *JL_ Mr * a ? ? V ' renters, hi ngmers destroyed tnou> sands of enemy planes in the air and on the ground. \ After beating the Luftwaffe into 1 relative impotency, the Eighth threw its growing weight against Germany's rail system and vital sources of oil. These campaigns, in conjnnction j with the British Boyal Air Force and the IT. 8. 15th Air Force, disorganized all transport in Germany, re| stricted German military operations | , in the air and on the ground, and paved the way for the mareh of the | Allied armies across Europe.
