THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1986 Christian Rural Overaaas Program Os The N. C. Counciljof"Churches By Rev. Ralph Jacks The Christian Rural Overseas Program Os The North Carolina of Churches recently received a re port from National CROP Director, Albert Farmer, who had been at on World needs for food, held in Geneva, Switzerland. i Naples, Italy, June 20, 1956 “In Austria we saw a Vocational Training School in the refugee camp at Spittal, which is re ceiving excellent preparation’ for jobs in the United States or else where. We saw a group of young Rumanian escapees in an old air raid bunker in Salzburg, who are caring for themselves, including their sick and unemployables, even though the government does not recognize them and they seem to be stranded as stateless people in an eternal limbo. CROP food was on their shelves and in their Sun dy dinner that was cooking when we visited. CROP food, including surpluses, is providing part of the extra that families In two large camps near Salzburg need, since, while the government or USEP pro vides the camp, the people have to] pay rent, by their food and clothes and pay for Other necessities out of what they can earn or what they receive as relief if they are unable to work —and both earnings and re lief payments are mighty small. s “It was told today that the first shipment of Church World Service surplus wheat is in the harbor here at Naples.

Some of the ' cotton will be used to stuff mattre sses and quilts. “But more than what I’ve seen of commodities, I’ve seen people.

' ~ - e> i THE YANCEY RECORD jSfiilil **/’CREEPING INFLATION’’ may be a major domestic issue before the summer is over along the political hustings. According to the records, despite the appar ent increase in wages and income,, the income just cannot keep up with the cost of living. And the spiral for higher wages starts. And, according to the econo mists, there is a major and basic reason behind this continual inch ing up of the cost of everything the consumer buys, including serv ices. And the answer adds up to the tremendous increase in busi ness mergers, and the subsequent trend toward monopoly. Here in the Washington climate, it is almost considered “un-Amer iean” to whisper a word against 'private enterprise. But private en terprise is one thing, and private competitive enterprise is some thing'else. It is the lack of private j competitive enterprise which is |the basic cause of this creeping inflation which is stifling consumer purchasing power. A large grocery chain, takes over a smaller grocery chain, and competition is lessened that much; and grocery prices inch up. The [automobile business is a prime example of why automobiles cost, so much today and why prices jfor next year's models will be higher. The prediction is that with in a year there Will be only Gen eral Motors, Ford and Chrysler left in the field. | The rate of mergers continues to grow, and the smaller compe titive firms disappear from the business community, from banks to the corner groceries.

The trend for suburban living accounts for this new dan-' ger to competitioj. As a classic ex ample this column has watched the\ growth of a huge suburban center] near Washington in a area of newt homes. The shopping, center con sisted of some 30 or more small business firms which readily filled the needs of the area. However a large downtown department store moved in, constructing a huge de partment store at a cost of about $3,000,000. Within three months, 14 of the small business firms were out of business with that many store rooms vacant. Others are hanging on. may make it, may not; thus competition is stifled. More bankruptcies added to the growing list. There is almost a frantie at tempt in the congress to strength en the laws governing monopoly! Mkl mergera without, much suc cess. The Department of Justice, charged with enforcement of anti monopoly laws already on the statute books, together .with the Federal Trade Commission, have adopted a policy of winking at violations by so-called “consent decrees”, or such actions as “stip ulation agreements” instead of outright prosecution. | One of the most flagrant ex-i amples of this fetish of worshipping at the altar of private enterprise is' the fight made by private electric! utilities against advocates of lie power, of even the Rural Elec-j trie Cooperatives. The only thing private about an electric is that it is financed by private capital. * * J i Wilma-Eloise Shoppe rT Summer Clearance \/)(//) I 3 Days August 2, 3 and 4th This is our first and Only Clearance [ Daily 9 a.
