with the season of renewal in the world of nature though we have watched the progress of as many springs as we have years each recurrence brings its own wonder anil newness the dormancy of nature gives way to new life and the cycle of seedtime growth and fulfilment begins again victory will come that at least is sure prime minister churchill declared unequivocally in his re cent address the statement is the culmination of the sober confidence and progressive optimism he has unceasingly entertained since he- became rrst minister may 10 1040 just before the collapse of france implicit in such a declaration of surety is not only ultimate victory over forces of evil but also the freeing of mens spirits from the darkness arid hopelessness of dictator ideologies and their infantr ous deeds there will bo a new beginning another spring as it were in the history of civilization selfdelusion must not permit the thought that the brave new world of the postwar period will conic as easily and unprompted as spring the plans o farseeing humanitarian statesmen and economists winrcmnins plans unless we are prepared to expend ourselves for peace as we have had to do for mera survival the western hemisphere mercifully spared the physical ravages of war and the degradation of oc cupicd countries is tho hope of suffering peoples who arc straining to hear tho clarion call of emanci pating invasion when the tyranny that has sought to halt tho progress of mankind has been battered out the revivification of human decency in tho ex hausted lands will be the most welcome spring ever to come in the history of mankind v convenience or friendship in a nearby town of not muchgreater population than this town it is felt that mail delivery should be secured city folk and rural folks have delivery to their doors or farm lane so why shouldnt the folk jnthe medium sized places have the sume service i port of the argumcritput forth sidewalks are very treacherous and in the winter many older people can- e not walk to the post office to get the mail there arc no young people in the home to send and so forth all this may be very true the old cracker barrel is gone from the small town store the barber shops are invaded by the women why should the only re rnainirig place the- post office give way to city idens andbe only acentrefor mail couriers to meet who wants to lose this meeting place where every mjfil time you are sure to meet friends hear of the in cidenrs from every district and pause for a moment for a friendly greeting think of the loss of friendships mail delivery would mean at christmas time when the lobby is jammed with folks from every section of the com munity to get the christmas cards or parcels every day those who look for overseas mail meet and even if the expected letter doesnt come they may hear of another friend who has had word and perhaps the writer has met another from the honic town overseas delivery of mail to your door has its advantages but going to the post office for your mail in the smaller community is a part of friendly community life that we believe outweighs the seeming hardships of getting there it provides a break in the morn ing we would miss very much v a busy market place some folks are feeling deep concern over the number of farm auction sales throughout the coun try these days arid they tell as that city folks are con cerned lest so many leave the farms that there may not be sufficient on the markets for their larders there have been more than the usual auction sales but we see no cause for alarm theother day we discussed the question with one of the local auctioneers and went over a list of sales he mid booked to see if there was all this cause for alarm we read the bills that more than riled the regular space on the office walls and tie told us why each man was having a sale many of the cases the vast majority were men who were getting on in years and could not manage the farm work alone- they could secure no help and it seemed an opportune time for jhem to sell out and seek lighteremployment they were phys cally able to do and let younger- farmcra take their places on the land farm prices are now attractive to young men and many wfio desire some independ ence and a place of their own were able and willing to take on the onerous farm work under present prices the sale of the land and the stock and implements would give the older man a fair stake for investment a home in town and he could take life a little easier in every case reviewed some one else was going on the farm n no case was the land being abandoned the stock and implements were being sold to other farmers so it all seems to add up that its just part of this period of chunging when some of those onfhe land are perhaps a bit weary of tho toil and remember too vividly the days when prices were not so good and those in other vocations feel they would be more secure tilling the soil instead of look ing for jobs that werent available in these same days of other years its simply a case of young men with ambition and a strong back exchanging places with older men perhaps very much overtired antl lacking the physi cal ability to keep going and judging tho market for their investment to be opportune the result is that the market place auction sales is a busy one v post war planning what do you hope for in tho post war period these days our mail seems hooded with proposals for the grand and glorious days that will follow the conclusion of hostilities some want social security at no cost to themselves others want to be protected against a period in which they feel they will be un- ablo to compete with others in a scramble to gain quick wealth others more confluent of their ability to meet all comers want an era ofno holds barret and every man for himself we believe if the lighting forces were asked their opinion it would be a desire to get back home and assurance of employment at wages required- to meet u decent standard of living and with sorne leisure mo ments for recreation and to spend quiet days with loved ones again we have a lot of planners of this post war period official and unofficial just as many planners as there are ideas of the kind of postwar world wc should have in view of all this conglomeration of ideas is it any wonder that governments who repre sent all these folks go through u difficult period in bringing forth plans for the utopia of the postwar period it is well to plan but just us the war has nor gone always according to our human plan it is well too to he prepared lor some elasticity in our plai and to be assured if they ore selfish they are not liable to succeed just as in the the past these plans will be carried into effect only at such a time as they aro ready for acceptance by the mujority it is well too that tho plans of man arc always possible only if they coincide with the plans of a higher authority while the way may not seem
