The Danville Idea

Danville, H., cashes-in on this powerful influence. The Commer- cial-News, a Danville daily news paper, keeps the idea alive. Every Monday morning the paper car 'ries story about some citizen who has performed a noteworthy public service. He is designated the Man of the Week." and the article tells why. It tells what the man did any other interesting things about him.
 Selections are always on a basis of public service, not personal achievement. So m e. ambitious young underwater who sells his first million-dollar insurance pol icy is not necessarily a Man of the Week, although he probably feels pretty successful. Danville's Man of the Week must have done something big for Danville and, like as not received no commis- sion on it. 1

REALLY CUTBACKS?

According to recent release by the War Production Board there have been specific actions taken to adjust war con- trols to the new one-front basis. Some of the controls will be relaxed wherever it is in the interest of the war effort to do so. Several of the limitation and con- servation orders have been revoked and Tn the next few months about half of the orders in force on April 1, 1945, will fol- low suit
 Beginning next month, July, deliveries will be permitted without the usual GIMP allotment orders where they do not interfere with production and delivery on rated orders.
 The regional office in Seattle, makes the following statement, ''The lid is off on hundreds of articles, and if you can find them, you can buy them, without getting authorized priority from the WIPE. Many items, however, will not be available for another six months or a year, depending on how fast factories cen be reconverted."

RECOGNITION

Gratitude has, been defined bit terly as a lively anticipation of future favors. Gratitude is a great deal more than that, but it's a fact that people do much more, also much better, when they know their efforts are appreciated. Gen. uine appreciation goes unexpress- ed sometimes, but people who don't express their gratitude are sure to miss some desirable future favors.
 Unselfish things people do for their country, for their home com munity family or church, are not rightly done for praise. In fact, people who do noble things with glory as the primary aim quite often miss the target. Shouts of hurrah for a hero help other peo- pie more than him. The effect is to inspire everybody to public service.

faxed permits the building and exhibi- tion of models for the purpose of promot- ing sale and creating the demand for the item
 The restrictions on the production and delivery of typewriters haxe been re- moved because manufacturing concerns have been sa heavily engaged in produc- ing war materials, that they have been unable to produce enough typewriters to meet essential military and industrial needs.
 These cutbacks and others to follow, do not necessarily mean that the war front has sufficient war equipment to carry the high speed mammoth air, sea, and land forces which are overpowering the Japanese Homeland, to put an end to the war-loving nations of the world.
 It does mean however that certain ma teriels needed in the prosecution of the European War will not be needed in the Pacific War, and that some of the facto- ries producing these items can be recon verted to peacetime civilian require ments, as soon as other orders are cut to relieve the release stockpile' materials and labor for such reconversions.
 It is probably pretty safe to say that within year there will be number of items on the market, which today are not available, if, as and when cutbacks release materials and labor for the fac tories.

An Annual Banquet

Every year MT. Poisall plans and organizes dinner with all trimmings and invites his 52 selec- ted men to eat with him. The Man of the Week Banquet has become quite an institution in Danville since April, r940. There are not al- ways just 52 men present. Once in while Bob has hard time deciding which of two good men to choose and ends by naming both of them.
 The moral to this story is so perfectly obvious that I am going to surprise you and not mention it. Once I attended Bob's banquet "a completely American function. I met 52 good men and true, most of whom were still surprised that what they did should be consid- cred great.

We have been rather busy ourselves. We have

We have had to help supply them in their

nations, to South American for example If
anybody had serious intentions of helping us

their hands before this.

Many G.I.'s favorite day-dream popped

Pvt. Henry Weber of Vancouver, Wash, was
sentenced to death by court-martial after

Among the tougher-minded dreamers, the
vision may have struggled back to life SUBJ
sequently, When the court commuted Weber s
punishment to life imprisonment at hard
labor but for most soldiers it has gone glim
mering forever.
Utterly nothing, of course, is what this

A World Bill of RIGHTS

The Commission to Study the Organization
of Peace has proposed that the United Ma
tons security organization include in its final
structure a Commission on Human Rights and
Fundamental Freedoms. Certainly this is
eminently desirable, but first it is gong to be
necessary to define such rights and freedoms
That will not be easy job, for those terms
mean different things to different nations.
The Dumbarton Oaks conference did not at
tempt the definition but obviously it must
be attempted in the future. For human rights
and fundamental freedoms should be the foun-
dation stones on which any structure OF world
peace is built It is difficult to see how it
might stand without their support
Once defined, human rights and fundamental
freedoms should not be merely the special con-
Germ Of one division of the organization They
should be the concern Of every one of that
organization delegates, officers and EN-.
ployes. Every action and decision on every
problem which comes before the organization
should be tested for the ultimate effect or
these rights and freedoms. For unless they
are preserved there can be no hope of en-
during peace.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
REAPING THE WHIRLWIND

Don't be too optimistic, but those reports of
German civilians and the Gestapo clashing in
Berlin and elsewhere may be true. The civil
ians have been held down tightly but there S
one thing people can't endure no matter
what the pressure. That's starvation!
Every major war ends by one or the other
of the participants becoming exhausted,
starved out, cleaned out of materials of all
sorts. The German armies could retire to
South Germany and perhaps fight for months
but starved burned, bombed country would
have nothing with which to supply them.
The world is witnessing a rare sight now
the death of big nation.
Germany is reaping the whirlwind. Her
agonies will surpass those of the little coun-
tries she conquered and ruined. 1t all comes
back, with interest; there is no way to pre-
vent it, to ease it.
1t is a colossal example of retribution at
work.-The Charlotte Observer

1t has put my book at the top of
the best seller list, but robbed
me of the time to read other peo-
pies books.
1t has put me on easy terms
with the great, but forbidden me
the privilege Of sitting alone with
my old true friends.
1t has made my homely face
familiar throughout America, but
taken away that saving gift of SER
entity of mind and soul. My life
now, day and night, is a frenzy.
There is no mental leisure in it.;
never the freedom to sit down and
let your mind 60 blank.
l like people. l always have and
I still do. And SO it hurts me to
have to shut off phone calls in a
hotel. 1t hurts to turn letters over
to secretary. 1t hurts to tell old
friends 1 can see them today
maybe tomorrow. 1t hurts to have
to hide and cover like a criminal
to get just an hour or two to my
self.
But that's the way it is. l don
resent it, and I don't blame any
body. I'm grateful for the respect
of such great portion of Ameri-
ca. I'm trying to take the bad
things with the good, and get along
the best can.
Sometimes l feel like sitting
and crying because my old life
is gone. But most of the time
see what is behind it, and realize
that man is blessed who is pub
icly obsessed By the goodness in
people, instead of the bad.

GEORGE RFC BILL
HITS OPPOSITION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-LB-An
, anti-Wallace coalition seized con-
troll in the House Rules Committee
today and succeeded in temporar-
lily bottling up legislation in which
cabinet post for the former Vice
President is bound up.
The resulting turmoil left Demo
cratic leaders weighing extra
ordinary measures to bring the
Senate-passed George bill to the
floor without Rules Committee
blessing. The committee in effect
held up action until next Wednes-
day by adjourning to that date
without Rules Committee blessing
The committee in effect held up
action until next Wednesday by
adjourning to that date without de-
cision.
The measure would divorce the
multi-billion dollar Reconstruction
Finance Corporation from the
Commerce Secretaryship to which
President Roosevelt has appointed
Wallace.
Tempers flared during a COM
mittee public hearing, Rep. Cox,
Georgia Democrat, shouting that
there has been a horse trade"
between the Senate and President,
whereby the Senate would not pass
on confirmation until RFC is sep
arated from the Commerce De-
partment.
Chairman Spence (D.-Ky.) of the
House Banking Committee, which
approved the George
bill, asked the Rules committee
men: ARE you going to scuttle the
orderly procedures of the House." Il
because of the Wallace contro>-
erSy. He added:
"You can slaughter Wallace if
you want to, but that is not the
issue here"

C0-Prosperity In Manila

The pitiable condition in which the Aneri
cans found the city of Manila and its inhabi
tants stands as final convincing proof that
all the japanese talk of "co-prosperity'' ano
Asia for the Asiatics' was never anything
more than a cynical smoke screen of propa
ganda.
Ten years ago those slogans must have
sounded plausible to many Orientals. The
vast colonial territories Of southeastern Asia
and Oceania were fertile ground for such talk
even though anyone with nodding acquaint.
ance with the japanese national spirit must
have known that any promise of actual equal
ity in Greater East Asia was absurd
The Sons of Heaven have even been able
to give their Nazi partners few ideas about
might have been willing tS trade white
supremacy" for yellow domination, if other
improvements were forthcoming They were
not, of course. The history of Manila under the
occupation has shown that there was not a
particle of sincerity in the Jap slogans
Manila presented the Japs with a grave
challenge Here was a splendid city which
combined an ancient culture with modern COM
fort and convenience. It's people enjoyed the
highest living standards in the Orient. Already
they enjoyed almost complete independence,
and the end of Americas benevolent guidance
was near. If the Japs were going to do better
they would have to do awfully well.
But Manila offered them great opportunity.
tco All they had to do was keep the wheels
going in a system already established, and
they would have model example of life in
Greater East Asia.
Japans occupation of the pearl of the
Orient was somewhat comparable to Ger
manys occupation of Paris But the Germans
apparently were awed by Paris. They tried to
keep it as Partisan as they could, and to
make themselves as Partisan as possible for
the duration of their stay The effort was
ironic and insulting but at least their arrog-
ance was shaken by contact with the magical
city, even though that arrogance was re-
placed by craven cruelty and clumsy imitation.
But the Japs obviously had no such feeling
about Manila They might have succeeded
where the Germans failed, for the CITY was
long out OF the thick of the war Instead, how
ever they missed their chance to build any
prestige. They took a city that was clean,
healthy and prosperous. They left it place OF
ilith Starvation, disease and despair
Mania has paid sad price. But in doing so

barous, heartless neglect.

Tomorrow Will Sing" by Elliott
Arnold DUEL, Sloan g. Pearce;
$3.50.
This book begins Like something
pretty special. American flyers
move in on the Foffia airfield ir
southern Italy. They talk about
their job, wine and women, anc
it is unusually convincing talk
They go on a bombing mission;
though such events have been de
scribed by noveGsts and cores
pondents galore, Arnold gives us
fresh view.
That lasts for maybe Is pages
and then it all goes sour. The au.
thor puts his best foot forward to
begin with, but Travelled on the
other one the rest of the long
way.
The Americans change from
real and vital to dull and bogus
sanity; the incidents cease to be
natural and start to be manufac-
tured out of shoddy; the peppery
conversation grows incredibly
stilted.
One of these Americans, who
runs farm near New York, has
an uncle near Foggia. He calls on
him, learns to his surprise that
he is the owner of uncle's farm.
But perhaps the best way to tell
it is to use the speech of the
Italians as Arnold uses it end
lessly, never saying Germans but
always Tedeschi, turning lieuten-
ant and captain into tenente and
capitano, and making vino out
of wine:
Tenente Amato of a truth learns
it is a bad thing this of being
alone On trips to the home of the
uncle Gennano he meets Nina.
VINO Is of the age of the brother
who was killed among the bullets
of the Americans in Africa. If it
