MUST MAINTAIN AIRPORT

CTom Stout in IeWstown Democrat-News)
Whatever action the federal government may take regarding the
disposition of our local airport, everything possible must be done here to
maintain that property as a going concern. Our community is exceptionally
fortunate in having one of the most modern airports in the state. It has
wel-built runways capable of accommodating the largest planes in oper-
alton. A fine modern hangar and numerous disable structures are located
on TIT property. All of the buildings constructed by the government will
not be needed for civilian use, but it is highly desirable that the androme
and several OF the more substantial structures be kept to serve civilian
needs 1t would appear that this can be done without oblgatng our
municipal and county authorities. Some steps may have to be taken to
acquire ownership of the ground used for the present extended runways
Since federal authorities have clearly indicated a purpose to take care
OF IN anticipated increase in air traffic, it can be assumed that no
onerous terms VIII be imposed in transferring this land to our local gov
eminent. w e are fortunate in that LeWiStown is located on of the
main noth-south air routes of the country and that connections can
easily be made with two east-west routes. This will mean heavy and in
creaang air traffic through this city and give us exceptional mail ex-
press and passenger ar service. Such al opportunity is seldom presented
a community OF this size, and every advantage should be taken of it.

Early in the year this newspaper pub
lished list of postwar goals for the coun-
ty and town. Many of them were not new
but had been discussed before by groups
and individuals. Recently, the Jeffersons
Rotary club discussed many of these goals
and the possibilities of carrying them out
after the war.
Now that "after the war; has become
reality, this paper is repeating the list OF
postwar goals published early this year.
It is not too early to start on some Of them.

Days Of Change

The postwar era is on our doorstep, the
transition and reconversion periods are
under way and tremendous changes are
happening The cancellation of war con-
tracts affecting the automobile industry
means that about 100000 workers are be-
ing laid off, and that is about one-half of
all workers in the industry that carried
the BALI at the outbreak of the European
war. But, within another half year the
automobile industry of our country may
be employing as many workers as in pre-
war times.
All kinds of plants that require mas
sive machinery for production are in more
or less of a paralytic condition. Most of
them are on the lists for reconversion
These manufacturing establishments will
undoubtedly employ as many men in few
months as in usual peacetimes.
The value of products turned out by
our chief American manufacturers was
nearly ST billion dollars year before the
war, and more than "a million workers
were employed.
Dependable information indicates that
American manufacturers are planning
right now to produce Ais percent more
goods in the first full postwar year, alrea-
DIV ticketed as "the transition or reconver-
sion period"-because industry is recon-
verting it's productive facilities from war
to peaceti1ne production. That will open
employment to the men that are being re-
leased from the military services. In the
second period when all industry will try
to catch up with the accumulative demand
for goods scarce or unobtainable during
the war, all civilians and men from over
seas will have no trouble in finding plenty
of jobs.
The final third" period is calculated
to be two or three years ahead, when nor
NAL conditions should exist and when
"jobs will depend on current demand and
current income" In the meantime what is
referred to as the second period" will
probably arrive early this winter.
There will be a lot of internal impa-
tience produced by changes in price levels,
as wages and salaries 60 higher. That
will mean general price increase in near
ly everything that the consumer buys.
Thus, the challenge that we must face dur
ing the next twelve months is to "get over
the hump"

COUNTY MAKES GOOD
RECORD IN WAR EFFORT

\OO1IC1I1uGu IL OIIl Z age O1lG/
Every wartime drive went over
the quota. The Red Cross, Unit
ed War Fund, War Bonds, Vic
tory Books, salvage drives and
all others related to the war eff
fort were entered into with en-
thusiasm and carried out success
fully.
The county had no official war
plants, but hundreds of men and
women left their homes here to
work in war plants elsewhere.
Ashe county farmers doubled
their efforts in the production of
war foods and in this the county
ranks among the first in the State.
Dairy production also showed a
big increase and cheese and other
dairy products from this county
went to war as did beef and poul-
try. Ashe turkeys help men in
army camps to celebrate the ty-
pical American holiday.
Pulpwood, tan bark, blocks for
pipes and many other Ashe coun-
ty products did their bit in the
war effort.
Wool from Ashe county sheep
went into yarns as did the dog
wood in the making of shuttles.
Ashe county people worked on
all phases of war activities, in

School Days Are Here
Again

School days are here again for Ashe
county teachers, students, and parents.
And while the parents will not attend, they
too must have the interest of the school
and the children at heart, if it is to be sue
cessful in every way. No doubt, most par
ents will guard the health of the children
more closely because war has taught us that
health is an important factor at all times.
A child, who does not feel we'll, will not
make much progress in school as those who
do. Parents should see to it that every
child has the proper food and sufficient
Sleep Parents can also help the children
by showing an interest in their school
work
To the teachers and students, we extend
our best wishes for successful school
year. This paper is always interested in
the schools of this county and is anxious
to serve them in every way possible. We
believe the schools are among the county's
finest institutions.
Now that the peace has been won and
the war is over, the schools will have an
opportunity to do some of the things they
have talked and planned for the past sew
eral years.
We can't bring about these changes
suddenly, but parents and teachers alike
should be on the alert toward improving
the schools of the county.
