EDITORIAL What a Changed World! A year ago everything was hustle and bustb. The entire country was geared to war production and everything was done with an accent on win ning. This fever heat continued until the boys be gan to come home From foreign soil, then we re laxed a bit and began to consider the problems of reconversion. Six months after Japan surrendered what do we find? We arc still looking forward to recon version in many lines. Instead of being able to stock up with some badly needed things we find a growing scarcity of them. One may step into a haberdashery and be measured up for a suit of clothes. The dealer takes the order on condition that you are willing to watt from GO to 90 days for delivery. One inquires about shirts and gets the old banana replyyes we have none. The same goes for underwear and ctiier garments dear to a man's heart and practically necessary to his well being. Merchants and salesmen have learned a new language and a new technique. Instead of trying to sell you something they are forced to teach you how to get along without the things you have been accustomed to. and have been able to buy in the past. Perhaps time will change all this but the situa tion leads- us to quote on ficiitiouc Ue;t...r A. Kiky "What a rcvoltm' develop;, icnt this has turned out to be!" - u , - Latdistring on Outside It is the hope of the committees in charge that the returned service people will respond to the hospitable invitation to attend the all-county banquet to be held at the Elks hall in Heppner Saturday evening. Great preparations are bo:n:$ made a lot of evcr-lk-atfood prewired nn 1 a pro gram in -which the veterans themselves will be the principal performers, :nd it w ;U f?ivc the crn.-'iiYt-tee and all others concerned with staging the )anquet the k-:cir.:stf satisfaction to' tr a;e to greet as nearly 100 percent of the veterans as possible. While the banquet is 'being put on in" (Heppner it is not a Heppner aiu;i- but a big county parly. The people wives, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends- are taking this means of enures- - ing 'their appreciation fcr the services given by those who wore the uniforms of their country and for the great happiness that so many were priv ileged to return. The latch string is on the outer side of the door for the returned veterans. Don't be afraid to pull it; A World Day of Prayer Friday, March 8 is designated as World Day of Prayer. It is a-day set aside for all creeds, all denominations, in every country to devote careful thought to the subject of permanent peace and to put those thoughts into a plea to the Father of mankind for guidance and inspiration in making the world safe for posterity. It we would avert a second Hiroshima or Nagasaki catastrophe, and we know not when such a blow may fall in this unsettled world of today, we should not leave all the praying for those who profess Christianity. Certainly preservation of peace is something in which each anu everyone of us is vitally interest ed. Whether a member of the church, a brother-in-law or sister-in-law to the church, or a rank outsider, yo;t ca,i lend your influence in laying the foundation lor a permanent peace by engag ing a moment in prayer, either silent or audible. hiucuiij Remain In Office Mayo;- Turner's announcement that he does i-.it wi.-h to l.o cc.ydercd a candidate for the of-f'-'w for another term has not found general ac ceptance among people who are in-sympathy with progressive measures instituted during his in cumbency. ;the very reasons be gave why he felt he shuuki step out seem the most logical why he should remain for at least another two years. He has served through a most trying period, yet a program designed to not only meet expansion but accelerate it has come out of the war era and it r.ppears ih.'.t the one who has had a guiding hatw in formulating the program should have a hand in bnngii;g :t to inntjon. . - 'loo developments referred to in the mayor's letter can I e brought to reality only by farsighted. and courageous leadership such as he has dis played .aid it is hoped he will reconsider his avow e J iia.ni.e.i ot keeping his name oif the ballot.
