R. WILLIAMS In the Day's News iconuiiui-a Hum page xj individual house on one or an other of his plots, but this is Im probable. He will be more likely to live in a multi-family house in an adjacent village, walking back and forth. . HE may rent from anybody a decided Lord Somebody or other, or a farmer who would rather rent his land out than to work it. In the Evesham area the corporation of Worcester urv der a luw passed back in 1914, has bought several thousand acres of land and rents it to these small holders. Cash rent is the rule. They can BUY, but in this area less than 5 per cent own their land. Lack of the money with which to pay for It is normally given as the reason for non ownership. They can buy on long terms, 20 years or more, but there just doesn't seem to be enough left over to meet the payments. LET'S consider an individual (to know people you have to be able to think of them as persons; you can't KNOW people in the mass). . " ? His name Is Hall, certainly a good old English name. He is a SKILLED farmer, in his way as highly skilled as Mr. Bennett, the owner of Lower Wick, or Captain Bomford. He grows vegetables, as most of them In the Evesham small holder area do, and he knows every variety and every strain; he comes near to having personal knowledge of every plant. He will say: "Look at this marrow plant; I've taken a dozen marrows off it already, and look what it has left. It's a good one.1 - lie has three holdings, totaling 11 acres. He Is lucky. He has mi individual house on one of them. He and his family, In cluding his wife's two sisters, do ALL the work. Ho makes a comfortable living, according to his standards. He is happy and contented. He is AMBITIOUS, us proved by the fact that he has THREE holdings. The beauty of the Evesham system is that it leaves room for ambition. WE come now to something that touches an American oddly. Mr. Hall, around 50, or maybe a little less, relates that lie started as a farm worker, but is now a "MASTER man." As lie liters the words, his shoulders unconsciously square a little, his chin lifts, he stands a bit more proudly. There is no posing; it is all utterly unrealized on his part; lie Is wholly unselfconscious. But thoro is music in his voice as the words pass his lips, deeptoned music. This term "master man" is a strange one to American cars. This writer seeks enllghtment at the first opportunity, and learns it means that Mr. Hall is his OWN MASTER, that he takes orders from no one, that heateers his own ship: If it goes on the rocks it is HIS fault. Unconsciously one's mind goes hack to a picture already printed there, within this day. On sev eral occasions on these larger farms workers when spoken lo by their employer have answered respectfully, using the word "sir" and TOUCHING THEIR CAI'S w hen the conversation ended. INSTANTLY, when that pic ture recurs, you understand that squaring of Mr. Hall's shoulders, the momentary (!-!ep, singing tone in his voice. , THIS writer is tokl that except on the farms it is becoming By Charles V. Stanton Cessation of hostilities and surrender of enemies Europe and the Pacific brings to an end an organization which, in out" opinion, is entitled to far more credit than it has ever received. The Roseburg Victory council was or ganized for the duration only and now ceases to exist. It was formed for the exclusive purpose of aiding in success ful prosecution of the war. There is no definite measure to the results it has achieved, but it is evident, beyond any question of doubt, that a most valuable contribution was accomplished. The Roseburg Victory council .consisted of a group of Roseburg business and professional firms and individuals who united to sponsor advertising pertaining to the war effort. Through weekly contributions of funds, this group, setting an original pattern for community cooperation, has attracted nation-wide attention. The early days of the war clearly produced one outstaml ing requirement the need for funds with which to sponsor advertising on behalf of emergency activities. The American people are advertising conscious. When the public must be reached, the most effective way of pre smiting the message is by advertising. Men placed in charge of both military and home-front activities quickly realized the importance of advertising. - In fact, for the first timo in history,. the Army and the Navy, prior to Pearl Harbor, had been using paid advertising in newspapers to gain recruits, realizing such outstanding results that recruit ing through paid advertising is expected to be followed in peacetime, when men are needed for either or both services. Declaration of war ended paid advertising campaigns by the military services, but there arose a program of local sponsorship. The feder-al government began asking busi ness men in every community throughout the nation to sponsor advertising. Upon newspapers was placed the task of soliciting merchants, industrial firms, professional men and others to carry government messages in their adver tising space. In many communities sponsorship of war-aid advertising was handled entirely on an individual basis, each advertiser paying for spaco in his local paper to pre sent campaigns connected with the war effort. But Roseburg merchants, badly handicapped, with man power shortages, had sufficient problems without daily so licitation by a newspaper advertising salesman peddling gov ernment ads. On the other hand, the News-Review didn't have the salesmen. So, out -of necessity, the Roseburg Vic tory council was born. Starting with 75 firms and indi viduals, membership has been almost constant throughout the war period. The Roseburg plan was widely copied throughout the nation. Special certificates of appreciation were sent out to members from national war bond head quarters, in connection with one of the early war bond drives. An Honor Roll program originated and sponsored by the Roseburg Victory council attracted high commenda tion at national headquarters and its pattern, only slightly modified, was used in connection with the last bond cam paign. Through the Victory council alone 14,180 inches of paid advertising appeared in the News-Review during the period of the war in support of war bond sales, recruiting for the various branches of service, Red Cross campaigns, and numerous other activities. Victory council advertising was equal to 8(ii full pages, or the equivalent of complete issues of the Nt'ics-Revivw daily for more than two weeks. Members of the Victory council during the war period contributed $5,055 to the advertising fund, which was ex pended under the direction of the retail merchants commit tee of the Roseburg Chamber of Commerce. The Victory council, of course, cannot be credited exclu sively with sponsorship of war-aid advertising, for there has been much individually contributed space, particularly by national advertisers and chain store groups. But we believe it is mora than more coincidence that Douglas county consistently held one of the top spots in war bond buying until the last campaign when, because of the news print shortage, the Ncicx-Rcricw was unable to publish all the war bond advertising the Victory council was prepared to sponsor. It was the only campaign in which Douglas county failed to place -n the upper bracket. The Roseburg Victoi.v council, in our opinion, made an important contribution to the war effort. Its members, we believe, have a right to foci very proud of their participa tion. For their cooperation in relieving the S'cics-Rcricw of the task of constant solicitation, a job we were unable to handle, we are extremely grateful. We feel that every Douglas county citizen should take pride in the coopera tive program so succesfully undertaken and maintained throughout the period of the war by this organization.

Beloie nd during the , ban Lend-Lease Flow From U. S. Hears Its Conclusion WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. AP) Lend-lease, a 45-billion-dollar pipeline to victory, is clos ing down. President Truman has decided to end the mutual aid program under which this country has poured more than $40,000,600,000 worth of weapons, food and equipment to bolster the Allied fight against the Axis. In return, some $5,000,000,000 has been chalked up as reverse lend-lease. ; With victory now won on all fronts, letters of notification al ready have been drafted to ad vise foreign purchasing missions here that they will have to make some other arrangements for future supplies. Presumably, this will bring a heavy demand for loans from the recently-expanded export - import bank. Capitalization of that fed oral lending agency was in creased from $700,000,000 to $3,500,000,000 shortly before con gress recessed. Presumably, too, the action will lead to an early decision by this country on which goods it wants returned and which are to be left with the recipients for some iiuurc settlement. London Faces Problem Even before Mr. Truman's de cision to terminate lend-lease op erations became known, an in fluential London financial maga zine took note of the fiscal prob lem Britain will face in the im mediate post-war period. The publication, the Economist, suggested In effect that Great Britain obtain a $,000,0O0,000 cash grant from the United States to permit her to pay off her foreign debts at about 50 cents on the dollar, with a note for the balance. The United Kingdom has been the chief recipient of lend-lease aid. From Inception of the pro gram i achrMiiO-Trum emfwyp s gram in March, 1041, to last April 1, latest date for which figures are available, she re ceived goods valued at $12,-775,000,000.
