Pram: Industrial News Review
As always, with the year’s end
ing, there wiais a' flood of reports
‘ oh' what' had happened in this na
tion and the world along with all
manner of forecasts of things to
come;
Many of these summaries dealt
w t)h the progress of the U. S. eco
nomy during montentoois 1964. In
area -after area, industry after In
dustry, there were notable gains,
some of truly spectacular dimen
sions. Records fell like tenpins.
All in all, • despite certain dark
spots, the system we' call free en
terprise brilliantly demonstrated
its.astonishing - strength, vigor,
purposefulness-, and imlag oration.
And-, the material results were fully
shared by the many, not just a
few. In .sum, the system demon-1
strated once agai. and perhaps]
more effectively than ever before,
its superiority over any yet devis
ed by man..
Other backward looks concerned
themselves with a world situation
in which question mark is piled up
on-question mark, and confusion
compounds - confusion. It is very
certain that reappraisals of our
policy have now become unavoid
• able—-toward Asia, Europe, Latin
America, almost everywhere. Par
reaching changes took place in the
world during, the 12-brief months
of the year. Powerful as we are,
rich as we are as a/ nation,! well
meaning as. we may be. there is!
no room for complacency.
And that can be said of our do
mestic .affairs as well as our pos
ture in the larger.world. It Is very
easy, When incomes are high, the
standard of living is at a peak,

and we have reached an astonish
ing degree of material well-being, j
to became complacent 'and to let j
values become warped and atro- j
phied.
The point is that material abun- 1
dance is not enough. It is import- j
ant—vastly so. But tfie long-run
strength of a people cannot be
measured just in terms of goods 1
and services. It must be measured, I
rather, in what goes on within our
hearts and minds. If human free
dom, here or anywhere, is to be
perpetuated it must continually be
fought for. The weapons are many
-self-reliance, a sense of Individ
ual Responsibility* a concept of
duty that Iras nothing to do with
material advantage, and spiritual
I belief. These, among others, are
I eternal verities.
' It may be hard to remember
and to act on this in an era in whi
ch everything is huge—government,
business and industry,the- labor
I organizations, the farm > groups.
The individual, some may think,
is dwarfed by the forces that sur
round his life. And so he Will be if
he takes that attitude. The very
conditions of today present the in
dividual with his greatest chall
enge. He. in the mass, decides
what his nation shall be like. He
in the mass, decides, for example,
whether he is to retain the dignity
and the independence that the
founders bequeathed to him or
whether he is to supinely accept a
welfare state in which he can only
be a statistic whose rights and
liberties grow ever fewer.
We need to constantly remem
ber and reaffirm those principles
and virtues which built this nation,
during years in which living was
incredibly hard and the price paid
for freedom was blood and travail.
Thomas Jefferson wrote long
ago, “The God who gave us life,
gave us liberty at the same time.”
We have the gift—now it is up to
us to keep it -intact.

Mrs. Trena Fox, Editor
The Yancey Record
Burnsville, N. C,
Dear Mrs. Fox:
I will give you our heme address,
to which the Record may be sent
1 rather than to the*"office address,
which I gave you when we came
to Bnghamton last spring).
A It was with greot interest that
we read tn the Dec. 17 issue, re
ceived this week, that the Rev. O.
Lester Brown is the author of the
page for-Jam 28 in THE UPPER
ROOM. We recall him well as the
pa tor cf H ggins Memorial Church
at the time we left Burnsville.
What made that news item of spec
ial interest to us. besides that fact,
is that the page for Feb. 8 id"the
same devotional booklet was writ
ten by me. I think your readers
would be interested in this coinci
dence namely, that two medita
tions in the same issue of THE
UPPER ROOM (only eleven days
apart) were written by “alumni’’
of Higgins Memorial Church. In
view of the fact that among the
contributors to the booklet are
oersons from every part of the
world, this is quite noteworthy,
Dr. Cameron F. Mcßae
Farm Experts
Reach AIS Time
High
U. S. agricultural exports in
fiscal year 1963-64 reached an all
time record, according to a re
cent report by the USDA. Value
totaled s6ll billion, 26 percent
above the previous year’s $5.1
billion. Volume was 20 percent
over the previous year’s record.
The export value was equivalent
to 16 percent of the $36.9 cash re
ceipts from farm marketing in
1963. The report shows that the
output of 80 million acres of U. S.
cropland moved abroad in 1963-64.
which meant that 1 out of every
4 harvested acres produced for
export. The export market provid
ed a market for three-fourths of
U. S. farmers wheat productions;
two-thirds of the rice; three-fifths of
the nonfat dry milk, half of the
dry edible peas; over two-fifths of
the,tallow, soybeans and hops; a
third of the cotton rye, and
prunes; around a fourth of the
lard, dried whole milk, and to
bacco and a fifth of the raisins,
dry edible beans,, and cottonseed:
and one-sixth of the grain sorg
hums and barley.
The United States is the world’s
largest exporter of farm products. |
U. S. farmers in 1964 supplied over
one-fifths of the world’s agricul
tural exports. U. S. agricultural
exports in 1963-64 required financ
ing, inland transportation, storage,
and ocean transportation for 55
million long tons of a ’ cargo,
enough to fill over 1.5 million
freight cars of 5,500 cargo . ships.
In moving these exports, an aver
age of 15 shiploads departed each
day.
Os the $B.l billion of U. S.
Agricultural exports in 1963-64, a
record of $4.5 trillion were com
mercial sales for dollars and $1.6
billion moved under P. L. 43Q and
AD Programs (foreign currency
sales, donations, barter and long
term supply and dollar credit
sales.) Moreover, so that, products
such as wheat, wheat flour, cotton,
rice, nonfat dry m'lk. butter, but
teroil, flaxseed, .linseed oil, and
some tobacco .could complete in
world markets, the Commodity
Credit Ccrporat on made exports
payments to exporters -in cash or
in kind and sold, stocks at less thaii
domestic prices. An estimated
$2.3 billion benefited from such
export payment assistance; $1.4
billion as commercial sales for dol
lars and $0.9 billion under Govern
ment-financed * export programs.
Th : s export assistace in the form of
export payments and' sales below
domestic prices is estimated at
i .
about SBOO million. (Ths amount
is not included in the value of ag
ricultural exports).

been born with a birth defect —a

defect that impairs the mind —a

of life.

heartbreaking statistics down. You
