Richards, together with all the rest of the law makers up in Washington. Is there any good reason w>hy the return to (Jod's time should not be made one of the first conversion steps? There is no need to continue in competition with the roosters. For some years now we have been getting up at 6:30 a. m. even if our clock indicated 7:30. In the fall, winter and early spring, 6:30 is a most unpleasant hour to get up. It is usually dark as the ace of spades. Now that the fighting is over artd the conservation of certain elements was necessary for the successful carrying out of the home front program, there isn’t any sense in keep ing up thr daylight leaving time program. ♦ Why doesn’t some one in authority do something about it? We have had gas rationing cancelled. Blue ration cou pons have been discarded. Restrictions, on this, that and the other thing have been lifted. Why under the sun are we waiting for the return to God’s own time? Someone do something about it—<iuick. LEST WE FORGET Now that the first stages of joyful exuberance and ex citement anent the end of the war is subsiding, we should school our minds to the picture of a world returning to peace and the pursuit of happiness. As American^ we can interpret this picture and under stand its full implications, for thev are amazing. Take the last four years of war. Looking backward through the pages of time, these four years we think we were patriots in more ways than one. Didn’t we give up building that new home, taking that trip, buying that new outfit of clothing, getting a new car, yes—and we went without our breakfast bacon, cut down on our cigarets, missed those sizzling steaks. Yes—we made all these sacrifices. What did they cost us? Merely a matter of inconven ience. But is that all? Think—is someone missing. How many of those boys you knew who went away to fight for you, will not be coming home? How many will be coming home crippled? Lest we forget—it must not happen again. We must work for PEACE just as-hard as we did for VICTORY. NOT SO GOOD, GOV. CHERRY lit Burlingfune b Missing In Action In China Governor Cherry of North Carolina, proposes to speed up traffic on the highways of North Carolina. The present speed liinit of 35 miles an hour, is to be revoked and motorists will be able to hit up to a mile a minute. What’s going to happen? We'll tell you. * Every one knows that the newest cars on the roads are at least four years old. Others are five, six, seven, eight or more. Can you imagine the condition of these ancient hacks? Can you picture how thin and worn tires may be. Can’t you picture what is going to happen when these cars, most of them ready for the junk pile, begin to cover the travel lanes at a mile a minute. We’re forecasting right now the biggest wave of acci dents the Tarheel state has ever experienced,- Better think it over Governor Cherry. Down here in South Carolina we do not have the protec tion of a state law putting 35 miles as the limit. You can hit 55 and no one is going to give you a ticket. That's one reason why the traffic toll is so heavy in the Palmetto State. - “FILLERUP” I Flyer Affianced To Girl, Disappeared In the Fighting July 22 MiM Jayne Ttiomaa of thia city, baa rec«lTed word that her flnaace^ Lleat MUee (Mike) W.

With gasoline now available in any amount, the next problem is in the matter of tires. Tires are still hard to get and will be for some little time. Tires now on cars are rather shoddy^B.d worn. Which makes us wonder What new word will be coined when the tires begin to pop nd go hat.

D.Nates ^ The greatest hope which surrounds the atomic bomb— the moat terrible destructive weapon ever invented by man is that it will serve to end all wars. During the 20 years prior to the outbreak of the war in Europe many of us had heard reports that military inven tions had made war so terrible that there would probably never be another one. While the recent European war did ‘brinjf forth many new and horrible features it could hardly have been said ^at any of them would prevent future wars. But the atomic bomb, used recently for the first thne against Japan, does promiAe to end all wars. It is a monster which can wipe out all of the world. It will do more to prevent future wars than will the United Nations Organiza tion or any other peace organization. * ‘The WAC rescued from a New Guinea Shangri-La brought back a four-foot iiative spear.” The true souvenir hunter would have brought back the four-foot native.
