on Mr.. Bates demurrer. Mr.. Bates
raised the point that while the
government, under the War Pow
ers Acts, has the right to control
the flow of material, Congress
has never granted the right to the
War Production Board to say how
such material may be used once
they have cleared it with priorities.
The War Production Board claims
the right to limit construction,
even though the materials used
have been cleared. The question
involved is of national Importance,
and the outcome will be watched
with a great deal of interest.
Judge Schwellenbach dismissed
the governments complaint on
technical grounds, giving the gov
eminent five days to file an
amended complaint. Mr.. Bates
was represented by Atty. Ivan
Merrick.
Mr.. Bates started the construc-
ton of concrete building on the
highway near Washington street
and was stopped by order of the
WLB. He planned to open a dine
and dance place as we'll as have Of
fees for several small businesses.
Priorities were not issued, so he
had to change his plans. Then he
was recently permitted to establish
an ice manufacturing business and
plans for the building were again
changed, pending the hearing on
the above case. He now plans to
proceed with the completion of the
building.

Cermany's Surrender

The office of war information has sent
out warning to watch for increasing ru-
mors of Germanys surrender. There have
been several such rumors so far. Some are
started by enemy propagandists, others by
over-enthusiastic radio announcers and
still others by reliable sources" which no
one is ever able to trace.
But there is no doubt about it that
when the real surrender comes, it won't
be announced to us via any backdoor route.
The real surrender news will come from
General Eisenhower himself will be shout
ed over every radio station in the land and
played up in giant-sized type on the front
page of every newspaper. Church bells
will ring, sirens will blow and people will
be shouting the news from their housetops.

Time For Christmas
Shopping

''Send Christmas gifts before December
First"
You'll see that slogan advertised every
where for the next two months by the rail-
roads, the express companies, the post Of
flee and other government agencies. And it
must be taken seriously if we hope to avoid
the maddest Christmas scramble ever ex-
perienced.
That slogan has nothing to do with the
gifts for the armed forces. Those gifts
must be sent bfore December l to reach
their destination on time. The December
l slogan is concerned with shipments of
gifts in this country shipments on rail-
road cars which are now groaning under
their wartime load, express trucks which
are bullying at the sides and by mail sys-
tenn which already is taxed to capacity.
The Office of Defense Transportation
estimates that because of the wartime pop
ulation dislocation, Christmas gift sending
will top 1913 by $50, and the average gift
will travel more miles than ever before.
All of the transportation agencies are
making plans to try to take on the extra
Christmas load-but there will be many a
disappointed family on Christmas unless
people comply with this request for before
December shipments.

Women In Politics

In an informative address to women, last
week, the Honorable Josephus Daniels re-
viewed the activities of women in politics
and deplored the fact that more members
of the fairer sex had not taken an active in
terest in affairs of government Mr.. Daniels
who favored woman's suffrage, when it was
only dream of Carrie Chapman Catt long
before it became a reality, is more convinc-
ed than ever that today, women have def
mite and important place in politics and
should fill it. We like his attitude when
he remarked that "No woman should be in
politics simply because she is woman, no
more should man. but rather because she
is qualified to serve in the position for
which she is seeking"
He bemoaned the fact that while women
in this state have been voting since 1920 and
that while there are ITO in the State Legis-
lature, there have been only seven women
to serve in this capacity. "Yet the laws
that have been made affect the whole state
and many of them are directly related to
women and the home" he declared The
speaker went further to state that the his
tory of the nation differed little from North
Carolina in this respect. Give women have
worn the Senatorial Toga and 20 have
served in the House," he explained. It is
interesting to note that of the latter group,
Is have been Democrats and II Republic
cans. One reaches the conclusion that the
party has little to do with it.
The gifted speaker cited with pride the
records the women have made in public life
and urged more and more of them not only
to vote but get into politics. His challenge,
"Go into politics. Go in readheaded. You
have stood shivering on the brink too long.
Now is the time to take the plunge if you
value your citizenship and are ready to as
sumo your share of public responsibility"
should inspire some women to get into the
field. AS matter of fact, we heard some
remark that they had long considered it and
after hearing Mr. Daniels they felt ittheir

School Attendance

We have long been of the opinion that
children as we'll as parents should consider
schools such a privilege, that school attend
ance should not be problem. But if it is
a problem we also believe it should be
handled as such.
We had the opportunity of attending the
countrywide teachers meeting and here,
along with other school plans and problems,
the attendance problem was thoroughly
explained AS brought out in the discus
sion the problem lies first with the parents,
then with the Teachers principals and final
ly, the attendance officer, who in this county
is the superintendent of welfare. We be-
ieve that most cases can be satisfactorily
handled with the first two parties. Surely
parents who will willfully allow truancy
are few and far between. We also believe
that parent can so instill the importance
of attending school within a child, that
child will hate to miss. A teacher, too, can
do much to encourage a child to attend
school. This county, state and nation will
be much better off in the future if every
child attends school regular; for the stud
ents today are the citizens of tomorrows
world and certainly, they will be better
citizens with an education. Parents, teach
ers and school officials, let's all cooperate
to keep children in school,
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1944-09-28

duty to do so. Like the speaker, we feel
that the men have probably kept many
women out of politics, indirectly, and we
agree that part Of these should be kept out;
but we also believe that there are others,
who should be encouraged to get in. We
likewise believe it is going to take more
encouragement and assurance Of support
for women to get into politics than it does
men; for we believe that women dread de-
feat more than men and feel it more keenly.
But any woman who has ever considered
entering politics and heard man like MIR.
Daniels offer the encouragement, and urg-
ed that they do so, should feel that there are
real possibilities for them in this field OF
service.

Outlook After German
Defeat

Not until the war in Europe is over, do
civilian output be expected. Then, &C
cording to Donald M. Nelson, Chairman of
the War Production Board, the country will
be able to produce civilian goods at the
1889 level without impeding the output of
munitions Mr.. Nelson points out that the
defeat of Germany will permit a cutback
of 40 per cent in war production and that
this will allow civilian output to be increas-
ed at least 80 per cent above it's present
level.
The speed with which the transition can
be made will vary greatly among indus
tries. Some already have reconverted;
others, such as tire, farm machinery and
textile plants, can reconvert with little or
no delay. The principal lags, in Mr.. Mel
sons opinion, will occur in the automobile
industry, in construction, and in certain
other divisions where facilities have been
radically altered to meet war requiremnts.
Even in the automobile industry, however,
he believes, reconversion will be effected
with surprising speed, once the way is open.
Controls over materials and production
will continue to be necessary for some time
after the defeat of Germany and to certain
extent even after the defeat of Japan, Mr..
Nelson believes. The end of the war can
not be expected to result Immediately in the
disappearance of shortages in such critical
materials as tin, crude rubber and lumber.
