A freshman at Bethel. Panl will compete In the district contest at Marion March tt.) Food can win a war . and write peace .although we havon't achiev ed the peace throughout the world which we thought would follow World War II. 1^ believe we can contribute greatly to the winning of new friends throughout the world by the proper use of our surplus crops. Last night one out of every two people went to bed hungry. While the United States has over seven billion dollars worth of surplus goods lying Idle in warehouses which is costing the taxpayers one half a million dollars a day. This is a sorry situation, but it can be corrected. I think we must realize that we will have to And markets for our production poten tial If we expect to have a sound farm economy, and by selling or trading our surplus farm commod ities to undernourished and unfed countries, we would not only be disposing of our surplus goods but we would also be backing up a sincere desire for world peace. We don't want to dump surplus food to the extent that it would disrupt world markets. Our great strength as a nation has its roots in the soil and a large dependence upon the people who till the soil. With our abundance of food, the United States is the envy of the world. I think we should put some of our farm surpluses to use here at home. One of the best ways of do ing this is in the school lunchroom. Our school lunch program has been a good one, but could be bet ter. More schools could be encour aged to take advantage of it. This would be setting an example to the world of a nation that puts ade quate nourishment to use. It would truly be worth more than a bundle of atomic bombs. No people want to be an object of charity. It is better to move our farm products through normal channels of trade. There are times when outright gifts of food are the only right thing for a nation with surpluses to do. Our America can bring about a more paasaful world by sMrtng PAUL MANN the plenty, bridging that gap be tween hunger and plenty and eas ing the pressures that breed war. We can make a big start on that Plenty Crusade by an Intelligent use of our farm surplus In the un derdeveloped areas of the world. I do not believe we will ever | get to first base by trying to work through governments. We have contributed In years gone by bil lions of dollars, not only In farm crops, but In other materials. These gifts have been accepted without the rank and file of the people en joying them ever knowing that the United States government had con tributed a dime. 1 believe that if the Christian ap proach should be ifiade on the part of our government to work through religious organizations and through missionaries in all parts of the world, then we could distribute our surpluses without any harm to the regular flow of goods between na tions. If our government can dis tribute steel and other materials to be used in the manufacturing of war goods, why can't we, through the Christian approach, distribute our farm surpluses? This country has devised many ways of aiding people in other countries. We have sent supplies of various kinds, we have sent peo ple to acquaint them with our way of life. The one thing that has done more to cement a feeling of good will and friendship between our country and other countries of the world has been food and clothing sent to hungry and cold people. Before any war-torn country and devastated people can be restored, they must first be restored in phys ical strength and in mental atti tude and that country which sup plies food to the hungry people in war-torn areas is the country that will receive the good will and re spect of whatever hungry mouths it may feed. nu more enective weapon could be forfed in the day-to-day battle against the Communist ideology than the creation of the World Food Bank. Member nations could borrow from the food bank when their supply is low, and make re payments when they are able to I do so. It has been proven that nations can cooperate to form a workable, mutually profitable, international monetary bank. I think if it can be done with dollars it can be done in cents. Until one has walked the road of poverty and looked into the drawn hungry faces of tired old women and crying children, people cannot appreciate fully the fact that bread indeed is the staff of life. There is hardly any excuse for our farm surpluses to be a chain around the necks of the farmers and the taxpayers. While these surpluses are lying idle in ware houses. they could be helping to win the battle for world peace. It has been said that armies fight on their stomachs. I think peace can be won the same way. Right now we have more food on hand than we can currently use, and those who regard abundance as a curse are having a field day. Our farm surpluses could sup ply countries that are still under ration control and are short of cer tain commodities. By doing this we would be helping ourselves public relations wise, at the same time establishing contracts for future markets. a urge percentage of our for eign markets have been lost aince World War II within a period of two years?19^1-1953. We losi 40 per cent of our foreign trade dur ing this period. Today none of our farm production finds its way to the vast markets of Communist China. Prior to World War II. Chi na was our second largest tobacco customer in the world. In those same days Russia was a good cus tomer in tobacco, cotton, and the grains. The market potential behind the Iron Curtain is real today, but we are leaving It untouched. I think we must find a way to sell the non strategic goods we produce plenti fully to countries that need them, regardless of whether or not they are under Communist rule. We the American people by properly distributing our farm surplus can help bring peace to the world. t ar the Want Ada for uwllf BRAND - NEW 1956 FULLY AUTOMATIC FRIGIDAIRE WASHERS THERE'S NO SECRET HERE'S THE DEAL * Regular Trice of Fully AA56 Automatic Frigidaire /S I WW Washer Allowance for Your Old Washer up to YOU PAY ONLY $14356 LESS THAN THE PRICE Plu8 Tax OF A WRINGER WASHER IT'S THE DEAL OF A LIFETIME!

Mail Goes Through BROWNSVILLE, Ky. (AP) ? Automobile accidents don't stop Grover Johnson from making rounds on his rural mail route. But they do slow him down a bit. Johnson got out to look at a tire and an opened door knocked him to the ground when the car rolled backward. He was pinned under a wheel. A woman passing by jacked up the car enough - for him to squirm free. He rested a few min utes, then proceeded on his route. Johnson got his wife to drive for him the next trip. Then the car overturned on the highway. Passersby helped the two put the car back on its wheels. The Johnsons got back into the car, discovered it would run, and delivered the rest of the mail. t j The Champion Paper and Fibre Co., and plan to move to Beaver dam section soon. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Harris are also planning to build a new home on the Thickety-Clyde Road where they now live.
