Starring ALVADEAN and SANDY Coker Al vadean and Sandy Coker Abbott Recording Stars BAND SMITH RIVER COMMUNITY HALL Sat., DEC. 8th O n ly 15 S h o p p in g D ays H ow ever, I stillhold to the opinion w hich has been mine for th e past th ree or four years th at chances of a m ajor w ar are be com ing m ore and more remote. In tern atio n al developm ents since th e close of World War II give me the basis for such a belief on my p art. While crisis afte r crisis has appeared on the horizon w ith w ar appearing imm inent, in each case a solution of some sort was achieved and the world, re laxed to aw ait the next one. and the COKER U n til C hristm as This year put something finer under the tree The principal reason th a t I am encouraged is th a t I leel th at the nations of the world are finally beginning to realize the futility of w ar solving any problem. Also the fact th a t all nations today are on th e alert and not lulled into a false feeling of security tends t cause and aggressor to think tw ice before firing the first shot. In both w orld w ars, one nation w as outstandingly stronger than any of its neighbors, who w itn th e ir heads buried deep in th 1 sand felt th a t the only way to avoid w ar was to ignore the tihre it of war. Today nations know th at a w ar is much more likely to e ru p t w hen one country feels th a t it is strong enough to overpow er the others. I don’t think th at it would be too far-fetched to com pare th e in- ternational relations w ith labor j relations T here was a tim e in th? early days following the birth of the industrial revolution whe labor and industry both held t > th e false prem ise that th eir ob jectives could >*nly be accom plish ed by the use of force. Today they have both learned, to th e ir m u t ual advantage th at tolerant dis cussion comes up w ith much more lasting agreem ents and u n d er standing Sim ilarly w ith the nations of th e world. While th e United Na tions has not achieved wonders d uring its short term of existence, it has afforded th e environm ent for sensible discussion; and so long as nations can converse w ith one an other they are much less likely to sta rt shooting.
