Starvation Soar llome When we. in tins blessed lanu of ours, hear others talking about starvation and want, we immediately think of the Chinese millions and possibly those more recently made helpless by the German invasion of the Low Countries But it is an actual fact that starvation is near home. It has been said that the unsatisfied wants of 75 million of our own people make up the greatest market today for the farmer and bus iness man 1* - estimated that nearly 7(1 jjer cent of the families in this nation are living on an average -income of less than S70 a month, that they need twice that amount to enjoy a min imum standard of liv ing. "Low-income people." says the Progressive Farmer, "are eating about half as much food as they want. People with incomes of less than SMHI a yea; hiit'e MlMlt f!Vl feTUS pdr pel\dh pei ineal to sp< nd-for food " Few realize that right here in this county there arc-families living on less than five-cent per meal average The father of ten children in one of our county towns said just the othc r day that he could hardly get enough food for eight dollars tn feendris (uiiiilv That group of human beings, living right here in Martin County, is living off of less than thiee and" one-hall cents per meal per person. , The Trouble II illi The South Dr Frank Graham, speaking to a Martin County audience recently, pointed but one of the troubles with the South In pointing out the solution, for he did offer a solution, he urged the youth of the State and South to remain and "fight it out." According to the university president nine duced in the- South; vet. onlv one of the fifteen of the company directors is from the South. Wall Street and New York offices with their gorgeous fixtures and swivej chairs have leisure ly directed the work while a supressed people tugged at the yokes placed on their necks in the South. The work is done here and the figuring is done there, the working guy receiving the mere crumbs that fall from the tables of the di rectors, officers and stockholders. We hear about the vast systems perfected for the distribution of produce, goods and commod ities. Isn't it true that the prices are fixed for the producer and consumer, that the margin of profit for the investor remains the same? Noth ing has been accomplished when the prices to the Southern farmer have been beat'to a point below cost of production, even if the consum er does get a bushel of potatoes at a reduced fig ure. It is about time for the yjjuth of the South to remain at home and effect a system that will guarantee the producer a living price for his labors A step in that direction has already been taken by the President who has offered aid to agriculture. But there is more to be done, and until that is done the South can be rightfully hrT If tirrmany Him Om 's thoughts arc lost in utter darkness when j he stops and tries to picture what will follow if Germany wins the war. There is no criteria for anticipating what will happen in the future, I certainly there is none that offer any rav of I hope: Chaos is certain to be general on a world-wide scale, for the material gains recorded in past i centuries will be wiped out, and the masses returned to slavery. Reports from those coun tries subjected to Hitler's rule state that they are employed as beasts and made to run the forests as cattle Humanity has already been dis regarded. reports stating that the aged along with the crippled children in the overrun coun tries have been annihilated on the pvre. Even if this nation escapes the sword, vic tory for Hitler in Europe will mean that we will be subjected to the trade policies and dictates of another country. Victory for Germany will mean that mil1 or the gmitost pillai.t T>f dem ocracy has been crumbled at the hands of the | savage, leaving this nation alone to hold high the torch of democracy, liberty and freedom for ka chaotic world The scene of world uncest will be shifted from the little Balkan States to our own shores, and in future generations to come | we wiH ltave to work with a gtm irr one hand. And why an- these things predicted? Be causr Germany has ignored humanity and the rights of other countries, not only those in his path of aggi essniii but llm.se to the side and those who have known nothing but peace for hundreds of years. irVnf/ier Ante Cincinnati Kmtuirrr.

They last so long they save you money. Do you know why Sinclair Motor Oils last so long? It's because Sinclair takes an im portant extra refining step.
