Health hint: Wear an aTmor piated vest when oat hasting with friends. 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. ? *1 . <* The trouble with most of the co operation in business is that the con sumer, in the long run, pays for it. ? % a- ___ The world wooia do eo wuiw if some of the jokes we have heard k were lost to future generations.

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 m,| ? 1 It. g-Ut Aaaateriai resource, 11 it seeps JSi x&itu and courage, and steadfastly pursues its task, refusing to accept anything out victory ^ vo.o '? age* that cam* Mecpt tlm i iimTifhMM 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. .

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." ?
