Soulhern Pines, North Carolina busses, starting the day with has tily eaten breakfasts. A cold snack at noon is not sufficient for their growing bodies. Federal aid makes it possible for school cafeterias to serve nutritious, well-balanced meals with milk at a very low cost, and the small matter of transportation for the short dis tances involved should not de prive any child of this benefit. B. C. S. VICTORY UNIVERSAL And now that all the fighting’s done. And bells of peace are ring ing And Victory is made complete, •tir angels high are singing. We look to God with grateful praise. And with sincere thanksgiv ing. And pray to Him for endless days Of happy, peaceful living. We pray that we may understand And love all men as brothers. We pray that now in every land There’ll be true thought of others; We pray that one great Christ ian plan Will keep the world united. And working hard, as one strong man— To build where war has blighted. FOOD FOR THOUGHT Miss Harriet L. Herring gave some “food for thought” when she said that Moore County “doesn’t need industry, but needs enterprise and enterprises,” in an address before the Sandhill Ki- wanians Wednesday. But Miss Herring did not mere ly idealize, she made concrete suggestions as to how we can be gin such enterprises, mentioning agencies where expert assistance can be secufed gratis- Moore County is wealthy in natural resources. We have raw materials in abundance, and soon returning veterans and released war workers will swell the labor supply. Now that the v fighting is over, and the wonderful scientific developments that came out of the war can be put to use in a peace time civilization, we must begin working toward the realization of those enterprises that will in sure our county’s place in the North Carolina of tomorrow. —G. H. W. ABERDEEN This and That May peace prevail throughout the world. Let earth have no war mad ness. May flags of peace be unfurled And flying in their gladness. Let freedom reign on every throne, iLet reason rule the nations. Let ne’er again a war be known With all its tribulations. Raleigh —Ernest C. Durham Labor Day. Not many folks in town though a few remained to carry on essential businesses. Many enjoyed the mountains or the beaches—where there was some rainfall. Preceding a gor geous sunset the day was a fore cast of Fall, sunny, with a brisk north breeze swaying the foliage and turning thoughts toward sweaters and coats. Music Club Meets The Aberdeen Music Club held its regular meeting on Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. C. G. Farrell with twelve members present. The meeting was presided over by the president. Miss Edna Mau rer. A choral practice, under the direction of Mrs. Robert Harri son, was held for a half hour, after which a short program was ’ given. Miss Hazel Melvin render ed two vocal selections, “Strange Music” from the Song of Norway and “Kashmiri.” During the social hour, Mrs. Farrell served delicious chocolate cake with punch and nuts. The meeting adjourned to meet in October with Mrs. Ralph Cald well. Mrs, Tugweill Is Hostess On Thursday, August 30, Mrs. W. D. Tugwell was hostess at a delightful afternoon party at the Holly Inn in Pinehurst, honoring Mrs. James Carver, the former Miss Frances Jean Freeman. Bridge was played at six tables and after several progressions, high score prize was presented to Mrs. Norfleet Pleasants. A miscellaneous shower follow ed the game and Mrs. Carver re ceived many lovely gifts. Refresh ments consisted of sandwiches, cakes and an iced drink. The above poem, written by the Rev. E. C. Durham who was for merly pastor of the Methodist Church in Carthage, so beautiful ly expresses the feeling that was in the hearts of many as they listened to the impressive cere monies marking the formal sur render of Japan, that we are pre senting them to our readers. The poem appeared on the front page of the peace issue of the News and Observer, Raleigh. While the formal surrender was the occasion of great rejoicing and thankgiving, it was. also a time of solemn thought and high resolve. There were thoughts of the gal lant victors who will be return ing home to take up life where they left off; and thoughts of the thousands who will continue to fight the battle from beds of pain, knowing that life for thepi can never return to normal; there were thoughts of the homes to be made happy by the return of their fighting herOes; and thoughts of those for which the end only deepens the sting of knowing that there will be no return. There were thoughts of what conditions would have been had the. atomic bomb been in the hands of the enemy; and thoughts of the great responsibility rest ing upon the Allied nations who, as conquerors, must lay the foun dation upon which the hopes of world brotherhood depend. And with these thoughts came the resolve that victory purchas ed at such a price as was paid for this one must and shall be a last ing one. _B. C S Surprise. “Cigarettes by the Carton” in the window of the Sandhill Drug store. Disappointment. Six bottles— not milk containers—dropped out of the bottom of a paper bag and crashed on the pavement of East Broad Street early Saturday morning, startling passing shop pers and momentarily drowning out the uproar of trains, trucks and cars. Methodist Women Meet The regular monthly meeting of the Women’s Society of Christ ian Service was held at the Church on Monday afternoon. After a short business meeting, presided over by the president, Mrs. R. S. Gwyn, the Rev. J. O Long, pastor of the Church, gave an interesting and informative re view of the book, “Christ After Chaos”, written by Bishop Arthur Moore. The meeting closed with the singing of “Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life.” The Home Front RATION REMINDERS Meats, Fats (red stamps); Q2- U2, August 31; V2-Z2, September 30; Al-El, October 31; Fl-Kl, November 31.

Friday, Sejjtember 7, 1945. POINT VALUES REDUCED Point values for nearly all meats, all cheese, creamery but ter, and margarine will be reduc ed sharply and canned milk will be point-free during the ration ing period September 2-29, the OPA announced this week. Steaks and roasts are from two to three points less a pound; hamburger is a two-points-per-pound bar gain; lamb and veal are reduced from one to three points per pound; bacon is down two points; creamery butter, down four points; and rationed cheeses have been cut 50 per cent. IMPROVED QAS NO HIGHER Improved qualities of regular and premium grades of gasoline about to come on market will cost consumers- no more than the low er qualities of these grades dur ing the war, the OPA says. Regu lar grade gas sold since ipia-1944 has been about 70 octane, but this octane rating will be at least 72-74 octane. USE SPUDS NOW Full use at once of potatoes is urged by the Department of Agri culture. The crop, not as good for storage purposes as later po tatoes, particularly in view of limited storage facilities, can fill a gap in the nation’s food supply. BACK ON MARKET Rubber toys for Christmas as well as thousands of other famil iar objects that disappeared dur ing the war years, are in prospect as the WPB has lifted restrictions on products manufactured of re claimed and scrap rubber and most synthetic rubber. Combs, beach balls, bathing caps, rubber beach bags, bath mats, hair curlers, soap dishes, window wipers, sport shoes and cleats will all be available soon. MORE CANNED GOODS Forty million additional cases of canned vegetables will soon be available to civilians, the War Food Administration has an nounced. Civilians are now ex pected to receive around 157 mil lion cases from the 1945 pack of “set aside” vegetables, as com pared with 128.3 million from the 1944 pack. All lima beans and tomato juice will be available for civilians along with around three-quarters per cent of remaining canned veg etables and juices. -i.'

HAYES PRINCIPAL John Ruggles, chairman of the pro^am committee of the Ki- wanis Club, deserves at least a pat on the back for the guests who have recently given such worth while addresses before the mem bers of the Club. Beautiful August, alone among all our months, with no widely observed hoUday, liad a chance for recognition through the cele bration of V-J Day, either on the 14th or 15th of the month. Alas twas just “Victory Day” and Sep^ tember scores again. Now that President Truman has joined the multitude that would like War Time abolished, per haps the matter of regulating time will be given back to the states, and it won’t be quite so dark when we get up winter mornings in the future. A WISE STEP In appealing to the State Board of Education for permission to use school busses for transport ing high school students in Car thage, Abpdeen and Robbins from the high school buildings to the cafeterias at the elementary schools, which are located in dif ferent parts of those towns. County Superintendent H. Lee Thomas and other school officials active in the matter are taking a wise step. The law provides that the bus ses may be used only to transport children to and from school, or used only in cases of great emer gency, such as sickness. To The Pilot it seems that vigorous young citizenship, men tally alert to take the fullest ad vantage of the training offered, would far outweigh in value to the State any loss that could arise from the extra use of the busses, especially as the county is willing to assume the additional cost in cident to the small amount of extra mileage. Many of the boys and girls are forced to leave home early in the morning to meet the Seaboard Features North Carolina’s Tobacco Industry As a continuation of long es tablished policy to boost the ter ritory it serves, the Seaboard Rail way is advertising North Carolina across the nation during Septem ber, L. R. Powell, Jr., and Henry W. Anderson, receivers of the railroad, announced today. The ad will appear in The Pilot next week. A tobacco barn, surrounded by growing crops, dominates the foreground where workers among the green tobacco stand silhouet ted against distant factories. An inset of 'the Capitol building and the State Seal complete the illus tration. Daily papers throughout key cities of tha North and Middle West and business magazines will carry this North Carolina public ity, and in Fortune the ad will be an all-color full-page spread. Theme of the copy is that North Carolina will now devote her en ergies to attaining even more substantial agricultural, educa-, tional and industrial progress than she accomplished before World War II.
