Conflicting reports were heard throughout the day. Radios were kept tuned on aU through the day as local residents anxiously awaited confirmation of the report. Among reasons given for the calm manner in which news of Germany's surrender was heard, was that the radio and the very quick methods of communications which we have today, the home front is kept with the wars progress and for some Hme we have been expecting hostilities in Europe to stop, and this news came as no surprise. In contrast to this, in 1918 there were not the radios we have today and thus people were not on the progress so of the campaign against the enV-- E dry-goo- O-th- er weU-inform- emy. And again today we are fighting across two oceans and, although we know that the faU of Germany wiU mean a lot in bringing about peace, final victory is not won imtU Japan also comes in with unconditional surrender. A solemn observance of V Day, minus hilarity and noisy celebration, was requested by most cities and villages, with meditation and prayer. The actual news of the World War II Armistice was received in a spirit of thankfulness and re lief rather than with frenzied shouting hilarity.
