' "A Atmm AHtmt Fdtmrt BtdUtn, Caret J Sw^ S*aiw tr BAMt^ LTOfIt ^WHU a## Cuffti^oiMlM# Barrow Lyons of the people IfASHINGTON, D. There are many signs that up-to- small towns in most parts of the United States will experience expansion that spells prosperity after the war. This pops out be tween the lines of a survey con ducted by Small Homes Guide, a magazine de voted to home building, which indicates that more than a third _ planning to build homes after the war prefer small towns and country areas. This survey was the result of questionnaires in 'the magazine which almost 30,000 readers volun tarily filled in and sent to the edi tor. The questions were drafted on acientiflc principles so that unbiased answers, which truly rel!<K;ted the intentions of those answering them, would be obtained. The returns came from all sections of the cotm- tty. and are considered, a good sample of average American re actions. Only 3 per cent of the people in tending to build homes after tiie war expect to settle down in large dties, the survey revealed, and 17 per cent expect to build in medium sized cities. Those expecting to build in suburban areas were 40 per cent of the total. But M .per cent expect to bttUd right out in the country, and 14 per cent want to build in small towns. Two per cent of those . returning questionnaires did not say I in what t:^ of community they I wished to live. These answers show that many [people have become disturbed over crowded living conditions in the cities during the war. Also; letters from members of the .turned forces indicate that there are phases of [outdoor life that appeal to them. Aside from the psychological [reasons for selecting the country [sod small towns, there are many [economic reasons why much build- ling will be done in rural areas after [the war. [Some of thie Reaaoru For one thing, transportation facilities will be improved greatly. IRoad building on a large scale is eing planned to provide employ- [lent for returning servicemen. Developments in engine design and types of fuel will make trana- atioD more economical and corn- able. Competition between bus s, air transport and railways will 1 to accelerate improvements.

Felix Blanchard, Biehopvllle’s contribution to the football hall of fame, who was at home Tiaiting his mother and chatting with the boys around the soda fountain In down town Blsboprille last week, is think ing of adding a trophy room to hts homqeln the Lee county metropolis. Doc.’^ career as an athlete, for he Is about as good on the track and In baseball as he is on the gridiron, has earned him many medals-and awards —so many in fact that be has a prob lem on his hands on where they can be fetored to the best advantage. Naturally his mother and other XW want [hem where they can he seen— hence the trophy room idea. In discussing the 1945 grid season faced by the Army. Doc. thinks -that the West Point eleven will get the test of its career when they stack up against the WolvMines from Michigan. He says “it is going to be a tough afternoon.” Doc. also ventured tbe opinion that Duke, which gave the Army a stiff battle last fall, will be loaded again this yeaf and should be tough in the clutch. Doc, is a modest chap in view of the manner In which he held forth Jn the national football spotlight last year and he would much rather talk about the 1945 grid prospects for [he Army mule than about himself.

Then, there are many war indus tries which have beou scattered around in rural areas, which will be converted to peace-time produc tion; and there is a slowly de veloping movement toward decen tralization of industry, which means establishment of more small plants in the country. Development of chemurgical processes, whereby farm products are used more and more as industrial materials, is on the way. Equalization of freight rates for the south and west, which is now being vigorously sought by the Con ference of Southern Governors, un doubtedly would lead to the develop ment of country area& which long^ have suffered from ram diacrimina-' tion. The Department of the Inte rior also plans extensive reclama tion projects in the west, which Would tend to build up many of the Western states to support greatly expanded populations.

He can tell a lot of strange tales of the happenings at tbel pricM are~ high various war fronts but the recital that interests this writer, an old news paper pal of Stan’s daddy, concerns a trip the,soldier made into the city of Manila. For a big city Manila is strangely quiet," said Gores “Strangely quiet except for the occasional laughter of American soldiers and sailors having a good time, and the Staccato clop, clop of horse-drawn hacks making their way along the rubbled streets. “War and wanton destruction have made Manila a shamble, leaving only bricks and twisted steel where once stood the most beautiful buildings in the Far East. The modern business district, the bridges across the Pasig river, even the elite residential sec tion along the water front show the devastating effects of battle. “For United States service meat Manila has become a ieave city' where veterans of the Pacific who have spent two and three years in the Pacific, in the jungles of New Guinea, New Britain, BouganvUle and other torrid islands come to rest and see sights they have not seen since leaving home. Bat they do not find common luxorlet or bars where they buy a foamy glass of ice cold boef. “Instead they find what Is left of Manila, a faw boildlngs intact, the charred sMhtoos ef towerihg struc tures and a stout-hearted, courageous people, busily setting alxmt the huge task of roconstruction. “Manila teems with soldiers and sailors on leave, looking for places they can buy souvenirs, ice cream or beer. The streets are dusty, cracked from bombs and shells and debris which fell while the Japanese carried out the cruel destruction of the fam ous Philippines capital in a fight they waged only to destroy “Little Japanese boys, laden down with worthless Japanese occupation currency, approach the Americans and try to sell it to them as souven Irs, It is seldom purchased, for In the gutters the wind blows it along Southern Railway Asks People Forego Unnecessary Trips Stressing the fact that the millions of service men and women who have finished their job in Europe are hurry ing halfway around hte globe to Join in the final'assault against the Japs, the Southern Railway System is again asking people in Its territory to forego all unnecessary train trips this suni- ber. The appeal is contained in a sutement to* the public by Ernest E. Norris, president of the railway. "It’s the greatest mass transporta tion job in history," Mr. Norris says, “and oqe that is taxing to the limit all \>t our transportation facilities. That’s why the righting man from your home or your neighborhood asks you not to'travel unless your trip Is necessary.” Mr. Norris suggests that summer vacations be spent at home or nearby and that week-end pleasure jaunts be postponed until the transportation crisis is passed. “■We know you’ll cooperate gladly and cheerfully. Just aa we will do," Mr. Norris adds, “because It’s the service men and women who need all our transportation facilities now.’’ Boy Scout News The weekly meeting of Boy Scout Troop 54 was held at the. Masoatc Temple June 20 with ah enthusiastic group of boys present. The meeting was opened by P. L. Harmon leading the group In the recitation of the Scout Oath and Laws, while Sandy Savage Ird the group In the Pledge^ of Allegiance. Following this opening ceremoQy Scoutmaster C. L. Shealy presented to those present the General Isen bower medals, awarded for superior seHrice in the recent salvage collec tion. EJach boy who received a medal, and every member of the Troop did. collected over a thousand pounds of waste* paper. The tenderfoot Investure ceremony was held for the benefit of Sidney McKentle, with Assistant Scoutmast er James J. Shealy in charge.

S.('. result, service men on leave, cannot stay long in Manila because they run out of money. -r- In the center of the city, a build ing, its roof badly chipped and tom by shells, serves as the home of the American Red Cross. Here service men, somewhat bewildered by high prices and destruction, find refuge from thetr worries. It provides them a little of what they afe seeking. “From 9 a. m. to 5 p. 'm. the Red Cross serves coM drinks. At certain Rours they also include jelly and pfanut butter sandwiclves. There are desk on which to write letters, chairs ^ which to relax, books to read, a boUettn board and the ever-popping pinx pong tables. Pretty Red Ovms girls give newly-arriving service men direction and information. Despite the monotony of their tasks their smiles do not appear artificial but genolnaly stacaiw. FlUpino girls also assist in Red Cross efforts. One ef the outstanding features of every overseas Red Cross are the State books, listing names of visitors from all ovsr the United States.
