Finishing one's work on time is
one of the best ways in the world to
enjoy your work.
The world is jammed with people
who do not know as much as they
think they know.
Advertising is telling the right
persons at the right time what that
person wants to know.
This is about the time of the year
that most of us begin to yearn for
the good old Summer-time.

VICTORY WILL COME
Our country is just beginning par
ticipation on an active scale in a war
which will be long and costly. Vic
tory is certain, if our citizens do
their parts, but it will take time,
effort, and sacrifice.
The advantage, at the start is al
ways with the militaristic aggress r,
prepared to strike in advance, and
willing to incur losses in large
amounts to accomplish certain desir
ed strategical results. So, it has
always been.
The defensive, peace-inclined na
tion gets off to a slow start, suffers
initial reverses, and pays in money
and misfortune for their previous
failure to prepare and be on guard
against the gangster nation which
attacks it But, in case of large na
tions, with great resources, like
Britain and America, time works id
their favor.
That was the pattern of World
War One, and, so far, of World War
Two. Short wars, in either case,
would be victorious for the militar
ists, long wars bring victory to the
nation with staying ponua and great

of ttfe with heroic ateadfnaaa*
A whirl of wings?a darken
ing of the sky over Pearl Har-f
bor and the "conditions of life"!
in America changed with stun-l
ning swiftness. Official AmeiH
ka, recovering quickly from her
dased surprise, swung into solid I
efficiency along all lines. Indi
vidually, there are various re
actions, too numerous and too
well known to mention. Thel
Farmville Council for Civilian I
Defense considers it the duty of!
every person within our com-1
munity to build a solid founda
tion of calm, determined moral
courage. Many are already!
meeting the changed condition
with heroic steadiness ... a
few of us are somewhat wobbly.
It is not easy to hold an even
keel and we are casting about
for assistance in morale estab
lishment.
Quoting from a recent newspaper I
article, we give the following:
"Tell me what can I do!" The I
answer is, we think: "Do whatever!
you can do best" To men and young
men, for example, we would say: I
Dont go dashing off to enlist in
the armed forces if you are physi
cally unsuited to the rigors of mod
ern mechanized and aerial warfare.
Dont try to get into a uniform if
you are producing weapons; the
country needs yon far more where
you are. . ' -II

sponsibilities, leaving dependants be
hind for the government to look
after.
To men and Vomen both we
[jwould say:
j Learn to live a little more simply,
to do without things.
Buy Defense Bonds and Stamps
with the savings.
Report anything smacking of spy
ing and sabotage to the proper au
thorities; don't try to take such mat
ters into your own hands.
Cooperate fully with the Office of
Civilian Defense and with local offi
cials in whatever precautions they
may wish you to take.
Try to restrain the impulse to critL
cise the conduct of the war; those
charged with its conduct may make
mistakes, but we must remember that
they, too, are patriotic Americans.
Then, to children, wo would say:
Try to earn a little extra money;
sa that you can buy Defense- Bonds
and Stamps; in later years you will
be glad indeed that you did your bit
to preserve this great nation.
Don't ask Dad for money you dont
need; he, too, is buying Bonds and
Stamps, and he is paying higher and
ever higher taxes to assure your fu
ture as free men.
Finally, to everyone, we would say:
Dont lose your heads. This is go
ing to be a long and costly war.
There are likely to be reverses. The
nation has survived darker hours.
Hysteria will not win the war.
Misdirected energies will not win it.
Offices have been set up in every
city and county in the land to direct
the special talents of each citizen.
You are needed wherever you will be
most useful in the common effort.
To this we add the request
that all Farmville community
'exults refrain from discussing
'the situation in the presence of
[children and young people ex
cept in a calm, sensible manner,
i Recall the fear of your youthful
days, brought on by thoughtless
remarks of older people. Let's
not allow this blessed birthday
of Him who came to bring joy,
to be a time for moping. We are
commanded .to be joyous. Pos
sibly one of the good things
brought^ on by the tragedy of
jthe changing conditions, will be
more nearly proper celebration |
of the birth of Christ. Let us
refrain from criticizing each
other as we undertake our va
rious activities. May we "real
ize it is the little things which |
create differences?that in the
big things of life we are as one.",
If faith in God is ever to mean
anything to us?this'is the time.
Recalling past history, we know
that in His own good time He
will bring order out of chaos.
There IS "Splendor Ahead", as
Nell Battle Lewis quoted in clos
ing her column last Sunday:
"It is thfire?It is there:
The splendor ever before us, v
Though the valley be deep,
And the way be long and far.
God will nrt fail
To send his morning sunrise,
Nor will He fail
To light his evening star.
And though tomorrow may seem
Too dark for faring,
God will be in tomorrow,
He will be there;
A light ahead, a radiance and a
glory
Moving before us through the gold-'
en air."
