Return To Normal

Yes, we'll probably have more gasoline
more tires, more metal gadgets, more re-
frigerators, more washing machines and
less ration coupons soon after the war in
Europe is over.
We may not go all the way back to nor
NAL living, but we'll come close to it.
AS result impatient storekeepers, be-
seeched by requests for items which they
can't get, will no longer be in position to
dismiss us with, Don't you know there's
a war on?"
But one trouble with this return to nor
NAL, or almost normal living, is that lot
of us may actually forget that there is war
on.
Those who have sons, brothers and hus-
bands in the service will still need no re-
minder that war is being waged but as
for the rest of the people, the war in the
Pacific is apt to become distant affair,
hardly touching their personal lives, unless
some plan can be devised to have them
play more active part in it than seems to
be called for on the present program.

Fire Prevention Week

Fire prevention has always been i'm
portant, but perhaps never before in his
tory has it been so necessary as now; for
with conservation a dominant factor in
helping to win the war, the scarcity OF
manpower and materials, loss by fire is
real tragedy.
Many fires can be prevented if property
owners exercise precaution and keep their
buildings checked for needed repairs. We
are thankful that construction work. par
ticularly in recent years, has made life and
property safer and that modern buildings
in many instances, are fire-proof to GER
tain extent.
And of course another form of protec-
ton, which no property owner should be
without, is insurance. Oct. 8-l4 is fire
prevention week and it is certainly good
week to check on your property to see that
it is not menanced by fire hazards and be
certain that it is covered by insurance.
Remember, a stitch in time saves nine, and
we must save if we are to win this war.

Jobs. Not Handouts

Here's something that everyone who has
anything to do with postwar planning
should realize before he goes any further:
Americans want jobs, not handouts
When he knows this, the planner will
then realize that the thing to do is not
dream up vast government projects of re-
lief schemes, but to encourage industry to
maintain the kind of production which will
mean more jobs.
The government should make provisions
for settling its bills with the manufacturers
of war material, so that they will have
funds with which to reconvert and meet
pay rolls Then the owners Of big factories
must have the authority to remove govern
ment-owned machinery from their prenis-
es in order to install new machinery to
make the things the people want and need.

BY BOND CHAIRMAN

"A total of over $77,OOO,0OO in

"Our compliments go not only

sponsor this vital advertising.
America owes debt of graft

Collective 'Cinmes'

The president of large war plant re-
Gently referred to collective bargaining as
actually being collective 'gimmes." He
pointed out that the policy of labor union
leaders is to ask for everything under the
sun and keep on asking until they get all
they are after. He wondered where the
bargaining" came in, for, he said, he knew
of practically no cases where management
asked for anything. It's all "give" on the
part of management and all stake" on the
part of lobor, he said.
Most managers of big businesses who
have been dealing with unions throughout
the war, are in hearty agreement with that
analysis. But the fault may be partly the
fault of management itself. For, through
out all of it's tussles with labor unions,
management has remained on the defen-
sive and let labor keep the offensive.
It seems quite possible that manage
ment could still keep the upper hand by US
ing labor's methods If management fac
ed with an insurmountable situation, went
on strike, refused to permit production, and
discontinue payrolls until union leaders
listened to reason their persuasion might be
even more effective than is the strike threat
when used by labor.

Give To The United
War Fund

On the eve of the opening of the United
War Fund Drive in Ashe county, let us
pause for moment to see just what it in
cludes. Not only does it include the U. S.
O.. but Prisoners of War Aid, United Sea-
mems Service, Belgian War Relief Society,
British War Relief Society, United China
Relief, United Czechoslovak Relief, Amerl-
can Denmark Relief, French Relief Fund,
Greek War Relief Association, American
Relief for Italy, Friends of Luxembourg,
American Relief for Norway, Polish War
Relief Queen Wilhelmina Fund, Russian
War Relief, United Yugoslav Relief Fund,
Refugee Relief Trustees, and U. S. Commit
tee for the Care of European Children.
It is our Christian and Patriotic duty to
assist in this drive. Not only will it be OF
great help to men and women in service,
to prisoners of war, but to the millions of
less fortunate people. Where the japanese
and Nazis have trod, they have left death
and destruction. 1t is to us that these peo-
pie are looking for aid and we must come
to their aid.
A. B. Hurt is serving as chairman for
this county and we hope that every indlvl-
dual will rally to the cause. Remember
the hundreds of men we have in serv-
ice. Remember, too, that there are several
prisoners of war from this county and
remember that there will be millions who
will starve to death unless they are aided
through the United War Fund. This county
has quota of $5OOO.OO Surely, this should
not be so hard to raise when we remember
how fortunate we are in comparison to
those whom we have an opportunity to aid
through this drive. Give all you can!

A Free Press In A Free
Land

National Newspaper Week is being OBJ
served throughout the nation this week
and it is significant that the observance
comes at time when we are at turning
point of the greatest war in history and in
the midst of a free national election, an
election that would not be possible without
a free press.
It also comes at time when we are con-
stantly reminded that there are many ma
tons on this EARTH where free press is no
longer in existence. May the time soon
come when the freedom of the press will be
felt throughout the world. AS one of the
four freedoms guaranteed by the constitu-
ton of these United States, it is hard for
Americans to always realize the Importance
of the freedom of the press, yet without this
there can be no free people. Denied the
freedom of expression and thought through
the press, people lose what we consider
God-given right We like Governor Brough-
tons proclamation emphasizing the impor-
lance of ''free press in free world"
Today, as never before, with our global
horizons, world events touch every person,
wherever they may be. And as in the past
the newspaper remains the preferred medi-
UNI of fact-reporting as well as news analy-
sis. We believe it will continue to be the
choice as long as people demand not rumors
but all the facts in print.
This newspaper, along with others
throughout the nation, realizes the respon-
sibility it has and the opportunity for serv-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Accord- ing to reports filled with superla- tives reaching here, the Army and Navy medical corps have hit the top rung of efficiency in the in- vasion of France.
 With wounded casualties mount ing into the thousands on the Cherbourg Peninsula, the report of Maj. Gen. Paul R. Hawley, chief surgeon in the European theatre, to Maj. Gen. Norman T. Kirk, U. s. Army Surgeon General, should be of some comfort to fam flies of men shot down in battle.
 normandy wounded now are being sent back to England by plane within an hour after they reach evacuation fields behind the lines. Twenty-four to 36 hours later, some of them are on hos pital trains in the United States, headed for base hospitals near their homes. It is possible for wounded to be bedded in these hospitals here even before their next of kin can be notified of their injuries. Air evacuation from France has now almost all other types, Maj. Gen. Hawley reported.
