Advertising rate furnished by request FRJDAY, APRIL 13, 1946 Premature V-E Day Already, premature reports of vic tory in Europe have been heard in the Lnited States. -At & least one city council and one ftfntlnal court promptly adjovuied itf celebration, only to discover that the reports were erroneous. The incidents remind us of the premature peace story that surprised the United States in 1918. Coming from a major news service, the in formation was widely accepted and there was something of a general celebration throughout the nation. Subsequently, the error was dis covered and not long afterwards, the armistice was officially signed by the German representatives. it may be that history will repeat itself in 1945. The rivalry of broad casting stations and press associa tions to get the news first may re sult in. another erroneous "flash" from London or Paris. The public, however, can afford to wait for an official announcement before begin ning to celebrate. Army Needs Nurses Major Gneral Norman T. Kirk, Army Surgeon General, denies that our wounded men lack the "care they deserve" but he is careful to point out that it is only because he roic nurses and doctors work long hours to take care of the men. The General says that expectation of a nurses' draft law has caused a decline in the number of nurses vol untarily enlisting. As of March 3rd the Army had 46,500 of the 60,000 nurses it wants by June 1st and he thinks that the urgency of the situa tion prevents waiting for passage of the measure. He calls for a vigorous prosecution of the voluntary nurse recruiting program. We doubt if there is any body who cares to dispute the con clusions of the War Department, es pecially among those who have loved ones on the fighting fronts. Conse quently, there must be some ex planation of the amazing fact that American women hve not volunteered in sufficient numbers to give the Army the nurses that it requires. Peace And Pacific Bases Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King's plea for retention of the newly won naval bases in the Pacific comes as no surprise. And it is entirely prop er. For the American people should expect of their Navy that it urge every provision for the protection of vital American interests against any and all possible contingencies. That is the duty of the nation's top mili tary strategists. Admiral King and his colleagues know through hard experience how difficult it is for a continental people whose home soil has not been en tered by a foreign invader for five generations to grasp the meaning of strategic frontiers. The bitter les sons of World War Two have brought most Americans a long way in a short time toward a clearer under standing, but enlightenment is still needed. The process by which title to such bases is to be acquired involves is sues by no means so clear-cut as the Navy's duty to urge the need. The world is entering an epoch of bright hopes but exceedingly delicate bal ances. The necessities of each nation to safeguard its own security cannot be permitted to stifle the young growth of world cooperation. Nor can a nation capable of self-defense cast its future safety without re serve into the lap of a world order as yet unborn. 1 It would be most unrealistic to expect the United States at this early i date to relinquish completely to some future international council the de : termination of the minimum essen tials of its national defense. But it is highly practical and supremely , Important, in the light of all the world hopes for, that America ap proach this matter of bases with an honest willingness to travel, if need . be, every avenue of international compromise and cooperation which is 1 now open to traffic or which the United Nations at San Francisco ay 'construct Christian Science ..onitor.

Proper I'se Farm Income Important Factor In Stable Economy During World War I and in the period immediately following It, food prices soared to more than double by 1920, and inflated land values were accompanied by a great deal of spec ulative buying, says the Department of Agriculture and the Office of Eco nomic Stabilization. This momentary farm boom was followed by a col lapse. Between 1919 and 1921 the net income of the average farmer shrank from $1,360 to $460. This collapse brought with it a land crash which eventually saw one farmer out of every four lose his farm through foreclosure. Today farm income is at a record high estimates placing the liquid assets held by farmers at about 12 billion dollars. There are three ways in which the farmer can help to prevent inflation and main tain prosperity for himself and all America: (1) He can avoid specu lation in land, which means that he snould consider the long-time earn ing capacity of farm land before he buys at today's inflated prices; (2) He can use his war-time income to build up reserves to replace worn-out machinery, to repair and improve ouildings, to safeguard against crop failure and livestock losses, etc.; (3) He can keep his own prices stable. A further rise in farm commodity prices would lead to a general price rise, which would inevitably be pass ed back to the farmer in the form of higher living costs. The farmer's i best hope for the future is to put every extra dollar into war bonds. Seventh War Loan Drive Opens on May 14; Goal 14 BilliOn The Treasury will open the Sev enth War Loan drive on May 14, with a goal of 14 billion dollars, the Treasury Department announces. One objective of this drive will be the sale of $7,000,000,000 worth of Gov ernment securities to individuals. This is the largest quota ever set for ; treated, individuals in a War Loan drive.

With Perquimans Boys In Service 24 March 1945. Somewhere in France I have been receiving the Per quimans Weekly for many months, both in the ETO and here in France, and I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoy to read about some thing that happened at home. To boys like me a day never passes that they don't think of that little old town back in America. As for England, well after a few months here in France, you really get to appreciate both America and England. I guess today was my day, for I received seven papers, and boy, was I glad -to get something to read, for no mail has reached me in so long that I was beginning to think I am lost myself. Here's hoping I'll be seeing you before next year. Perhaps one great day before too long I'll be able to thank you in person. And I really hope that great day is not very far off. Thanks again for the paper. I enjoy it very much. Sincerely yours, S-SGT. ROY BANKS. WHITESTON NEWS Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Harrison and children and Mr. and Mrs. R. B.

Treat Peanut Seed To Increase Stand The effectiveness of seed treat ments in improving the emergence of peanuts has been surprising, say plant pathologists of the Agricul tural Experiment Station at State College. In some cases, the per centage of emergence of treated seed has been more than twice that of un- TRUCK REPAIRS!
