One Year (aiqrwliecn) —M-^9 , Ceterad «t the M*. i|^ c (Bidar JM THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1946 Fire Prevention Program Expecting that this summer will provide a greater-than-ever number of campere, fishermen, hunters, hikers, trail-riders and others who will seek their recreation in the woods, the national forestry groups have joined to again put on an intensive drive to prevent man-caused fires during the vacation season. The key slogans for the campaign are being geared to the fact that the nation’s forests are more than ever needed to pro vide pulpwood and other forest products essential to meet the current housing shortage. “Smokey,” the fire conservation bear that had been popularized in previous campaigns, will again adorn the posters, bookmarks, cartoons, advertising matter and other publicity devices that will be used in the new program. It is also plann ed to introduce two new illustrated char acters, "Pokey” and "Jokey,” comic bear cubs, that are expected to play an import ant part in the unfolding of the newest fire prevention undertaking. While figures over the last several years show that American forests have suffer ed an average of 210,000 man-caused fires a year, officials connected with the joint fire prevention program claim that in the previous two years, when similar national fire prevention campaigns were conduct ed, a steady drop in fires occurred. World Famine The world famine is appalling. We sometimes feel our country is feed ing everybody everywhere. The blunt fact is that, so far, of all the nations of the world ours has made the smallest propor tional response to the food crisis brought on by a common war and by drought. Canada and Britain have intensified their rationing since war’s end; save for sugar, we’ve ■ dropped ours. Canada has exceeded many of her commitments to the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). Britain has stripped her food reserves below safety level to help alleviate starvation. W e promised UiNBRA 800,000,000 pounds of meat in the first three months this year, but didn’t deliver half that a- mount. We delivered only half the 1,200,- 000 tons of wheat we had promised for the same period. Now that the famine is reaching its peak, what are our plans? One thing we can all do, right now, is back the Emergency Pood Collection in our community. It offers everyone a sim ple, direct and personal means of giving quick additional help to the hungry and the starving overseas. The main objective of tie collection is to secure cash gifts. More food can be ob tained for a given amount of money if it can be bought centrally and in large quantities. Saving is also effected in pick up, packing and transportation costs. The secondary objective is to procure food packed in tin cans. There is no better way, it seems to us, to obtain more food and dispatch it quick ly to the areas of greatest need. Think what it would mean if each fam ily gave a substantial money gift, and, in additidn, set aside a, can of food a day for our afflicted neighbors—just for one numthl > Scores ^ thousands in Europe and Asia appear doomed, But wo can save saany o^>«r ^ behind the Sinergraey Food Cdlloctton and ' reaUy ^^paafc.- .

It demands maximum guarani tees against resurgence of former Axis The speeches which Senator Vanden- betg have made in th® Senate, in relation to "our foreign policy, have been construc tive and have undoubtedly contributed to clearing the air of partisan politics in connection with foreign affairs. Neverthe^ less, the general termis outiined ^by hto, as a basis of our foreign policy, relate ex clusively to Europe and to matters arising out of the late war. « A foreign policy, however, must teke into consideration more than the questions that exist in Europe. It must even include subjects larger than those arising from the termination of the war in the PacifiCi There must be an outline of the eco nomic policies that the nation is willing to pursue, in cooperation with other peoples, in order that enlarged world trade may contribute to the general well-being of mankind. There should be, also, some declaration of intention as to what the United States will do in the event that the peace of the world is suddenly threatened or assailed. ' Millions of children in Europe and Asia are starving or near starvation point. They are doomed unless we heed their cries. Gifts of money, or food in tin cans, to the Emergency Food Collection will save lives! Give today! TUP EVERYIAY eiDRSELIR By Rev. Spaugh, D. D. ‘ "You can’t tame an animal while his foot is in a trap.” I heard this expression the other day used by a lover of the out doors, as he spoke of the foolishness of trying to highpressure a man into doing a certain thing, while he was taken up with a more serious problem. There is much truth in that homely, but striking statement. All of us are snarled at on occasion. Trouble starts when we snarl back. We should go easy with an Impatient and irritable man or woman. Perhaps he has his feet in a trap. Prob ably we do not know what he has just had to contend with. All of us have to eat burnt toast for breakfast occasionally. I have never met a man, woman or child who takes delight in being abused or fuss ed at. Though none of us like it, yet far too many of us do it to others. It’s hard, I know, to keep in a good hu mor. It is not easy to rise above the petty and trivial annoyances of living. It is ag gravating, when you are trying to dress in a hurry to make an appointment, to find that an’important button comes off; you can’t find a pair of socks; the phone rings, and as you go for it, you strike your toe against a rocker. You begin to boil, and look for someone to take it out on. But that does you no good, nor anyone else. You can’t get other people to help you by fussing at them. The best way to ac-, complisb that is to induce them to want to help you. The Christian gospel is one of helpful ness. When a man is down, is no time to preach at him. Get him up on his feet; show him that yon are interested in him and willing to help him. Then he will lis ten to what yon have to say. Show him that you as a Christian can rise above the things which annoy and discourage. Then he will want it. After all, people are more impressed by what we do, than what we say, especially when pressure is on os. Anyone can fume and complain about difficulty, but it takes a real ihan to rise above it, ' v St. Paul wrote, "I can do all things through Ch^, who strengtheneiB, me.” He knew where strength was to be had, and how to get it He had put hie. lHe 1^ ihe Savioursprom ises, and received tiie help.

BUt tee tempOTS-^ ture dropped rapidly. In fact, if there had been a thermometer we are dead snre the bottom would hare fallen out. Several cords ot dry laufel and rhodo dendron wood nearby were a life saver. Freddie, who hadn’t given up his six dollar room at Hotel Wilkes, did some typical marine corps griping about paying for an innerspring mattress and sleeping on the cold, cold ground, and avowed that If he ever got Sgt. Nichols in New Hampshire in the winter time he’d have him sleep in a 20-fopt snow drift, just to partially get even. One little boy piped oat that he was cold, and the one next to him under the blankets said he was hot. Freddie wouldn’t listen to his wife who suggested he lie between the boys and get teem straightened out. He said he couldn’t because he would freese on one side and barn on the other. .
