PEACE ! PEACE !
' Peace in a new world! It is a great
challenge. Our eyes light up and our
hearts beat high at the very thought
We have met the challenge of war in
a way that hJu started the world and
brought consternation to the enemy.
God gnat that we may have the will,
the strength and the endurance to
meet the challenge at the Peace that
is now dawning upon us.
WE PLEDGE OUR FAITH
Out of the darkness of sacrifice
and sorrow, out of the storm of war,
there streams suddenly the shining
.light of Victory!
This year, of all years within living
memory, has brought to a groping
world the assurance of the
Triumph of Good over Evil.
All over the civilised world, in tiny
hamlet churches, in grc&t cities, in
the bombed, ruined towns, in jungle
chapels, free people have assembled
in the past three days to celebrate
the greatest news of the past war
weary years through which they have
stumbled All over the world men
and women are joining hands and
hearts and voices to thank God for
Victory and for the peace that is to
come.
An Allied Victory, a just peace . ..
all of this means a better world for
all men . . . free from war, tyranny
and want, and broader, brighter horizons.
What will be our part in this
new world? We can't look that far
ahead but to each individual it offers
a great challenge.
Since announcement of the Nipponese
capitulation there'has been
experienced in the- breast of man a
glorious rebirth of hope ia his future,
an establishment of a just peace that
wiU mean a new and more real equality
among men and provide a wonderful
opportunity for human understanding
and human dignity. We believe
in these goals ... we pledge
our full cooperation ja their realization.
Time again for the opening of the
Farmville Tobacco Market!' And we
want to do our share to endow this
event with old fashioned cordiality.
We come to you this year in a condensed
form. We do not apologize
for not presenting yon with a big
tobacco edition as in former yean,
circumstances in regard to labor
shortage- prevented this. ^ We find
ourselves overwhelmed with commercial
jobs that must be gotten out
for the tobacconists and merchants
that the wheels at business here may
continue to turn even more swiftly
and smoothly in the busy weeks to
come. We -want you to know thai it
was not the fault of Farmviile firms
that they are sot represented in this'
issue as in previous years. They have
a hearty welcome awaiting yon and
would have appreciated this opportunity
of ^ringing you a personal
message if it had been possiblei
Next year we hope and expect to
have included in our annual tobacce
edition every single firm in Farmviile
to assure you that all of our
hats are off to you, Mr. Fanner, and
we do honor to you as a beam of
strength m the structure of our country's
past, present and future.
Gas Ration oHjy
tHher Items Too
Waahington, Aug. 16.—the government
hurled aside many war-time controls
today, Iwt solemnly pointed out
-that reaching a fully prosperous peaee
at home will be neither quick nor
easy.
Reconversion Director John W.
Snyder frankly painted a picture of
jwida unemployment which he hopes
will be only temporary: Five million
or more within three months, perhaps
eight million, by next spring.
He told President Truman is an
8,000-won* report on what the -country
faces that the "outlook for peacetime
victory is bright but if will not
be won easily nor immediately."
The government abot at the peacetime
goal from all angles, with the
orders ripping away wartime controls
following one another in rapidfire
order from the various government
agencies.
The government—through one official
or another—announced:
1. An immediate end to the rationing
of gasoline, fuel oil, stoves,
canned fruits, vegetables, catsup, chili
sauee, grape juice.
New Discharge System.
2. The armed services will discharge
aeven million, men and women
within a year or 18 months; perhaps
million from the Army, 1% million
from the Navy. Army and Navy
both disclosed their new discharge
systems.
3. Price controls were taken off
scores of consumer items like jewelry,
sports equipment, toys selling
at retail for 25 cents or less, cigarette
lighten, pipes, some photographic
material.
4. Shoe rationing may disappear
before year's end because of a drastic
drop in shoe requirements by the
armed forces.
5. Large cuts in the Army's woolen
and cotton needs, thus freing
thousands of yards for the civilian
6. About 29% biHie® dollaes in war
contracts and ourchasea were carf33
* W-Ara*23,4
7. Lend-lease based on war needs
will be ended as "rapidly aa powible"
with help given only to those nations
aiding- in the ndapfoyment of our
troops. 3 ;'.v;: ■■ :* . ■ fW Censorship
Office Abolished.
8. Mr. Tnunan abolished the Office
of Censorship, the first of the strictly
wartime agencies to disappear
since the war's end. And
here was the other side of the
picture: ¥ •
Price controls will continue on
scarce (tons. Rent controls will continue.
So will the bridle'on wages
and, for a while, on railroad travel.
Coal for uae in this country probably
will remain short throughout
next winter.
Becaufce of the "very large" demand
for food at home and abroad
Snyder says American fanners will
be required to keep up "all-out"
production.
He.added: Needs vary likely will
exceed supplies of meats, fats, oils,
sugar and some other important
foods.
OPA Boss Chester Bowles said
"Bight now it's impossible" to estimate
when other countries q"
mate when other commodities — besides
those mentioned above—can be
removed from rationing:
