The atomic bomb that | prefaced the final outcome mark- | ed the end not only of a war but of an era. | “The old order changeth, yield- | ing place to new; | And God fulfills Himself many ways, Lest one good custom corrupt the world.” So wrote Tennyson at the turn of the century. The devastation wrought by the atomic bomb, the revelation of the terror it can make of war, de- mands an equally great invention for the preservation of peace, a thoughtful, purposeful meeting of a new way if life. V-J day marks not merely the end of a period of destruction, but the beginning of a period of censtruction. Like old buildings blasted away by bombings, so have old ideas, old prejudices, old mis- conceptions been blasted away un- | der the spiritual bombings of war. | |New we can begin to clear away | {the rubble and build not merely a | | new community but a new world. | in should | War has blasted a pathway uni- | {ting the peoples of the earth. We [must level this pathway into a | {road upon which human beings of | |all creeds, all races, all tongues, | leven though they start at differ- | ent places and move at different | [rates of progress, may march al- | ong in the full stature and dignity | {of free men—to a goal of peace and security. It is time, not space that i shrivelled. We have learned that our world is but a succession of small communities, all linked to- gether, all interdependent, like the parts of a great chain. We have learned that one cannot have pros- perity and peace unless all have it. Peace can never be merely the absence of war. Victory does not guarantee lasting peace and pros- perity. It only wins for us the right to work for those ends. There can be no peace unless jus- tice is also present. It will take time to build the ne world of united nations, to for- ge a unity so strong in under- standing that occasions for war cannot break it. It will take many steadfast men to build this world —men who will give to pease the same unselfed devotion they gave to the successful prosecution of the war. It will need men who will “use the goods of God's earth for the good of God’s people.” FEWER HORSES IN STATE WITH DROP IN PRICE has Reduction in numbers of horses on Pennsylvania farms has been accompanied by a drop in prices, the State Department of Agricul- ture announces following a recent survey by the Federal-State Crop Reporting Service.

The department add- ed that the number of horses on farms in this state on Jaunary 1 was 220,000 compared with 275,000 for the ten year average, 1934-44. Total value of the horse popula- tion is estimated this year at ap- proximately $22,700,000, a consid- erable drop from the peak value of $75,000,000 reached in 1914. Of- ficials pointed out that with the war time scarcity of labor, farm- ers have relied to a greater extent upcn available tractors and trucks te meet their needs. The mule population on farms this year is down to 31,000 head ccmpared with 49,000 for the ten year average, 1934 to 1943.
