A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I beseech you brethem by the mercies of God, to present your bodies
a8 living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto God which is your reason
able service.—Rom. 12:1.
FAMINE—STARVATION
Spring dawns this year on a world of famine and starvation. No
one in well-fed America who really believes in Christian principles
and does, not merely ritualize or process them, can but feel deeply un
easy at the plenty here and dire hunger abroad.
American generosity is proverbial. We are morally prepared for
real sacrifices that millions may live. But the public will not co
operate unless these sacrifices are more or less equally shared, and
this can' be done only by bold govrenment action along lines of set
aside orders, feed diversion, grain price adjustment and probably
wheatless days.
Time is short. The next three months may see more die of famine
than were killed in the war.
Empty stomachs favor political instability and dangerous jockeying
for power in critical areas, including ex-enemy areas, the greatest
generosity of which we are nationally capable will in the end prove
to be not only Christian charity, but truly enlightened self-interest.
A QUICK WAY TO HELP
The best way to help starving Europe is to help them help them
selves and one way most of us could help at once is for some one
to head a movement at once to collect seeds, grain, and bulbs of vari
ous kinds, such as the ones we have left over, or collected as gifts
from various stores and individuals, and get them started at once
overseas so they may be planted now —this spring.
War has done untold damage to everything about them, and they
would appreciate these things and it would cost us so little.
If a responsible organization would take this responsibility and
sponsor it right now, it would save many millions of lives of people
as well as the poor little defenseless children who were not responsi
ble for the war torn conditions of their country.
Let’s make a headquarters for surplus seeds, and see that they are
shipped abroad. If this is started in Black Mountain it would soon
be nationally known and other communities would follow our example,
and many hungry nations would be fed- Let’s cast our seeds across
the waters, they will pay big dividends.

The Next Hitler Is
Hungry In Europe Today
0
With millions of people in
Europe living on 1500 calories or
less per day the political unrest is |
growing faster than any occupa- 1
tion army can cope with. The I
daily diet for Americans averages
about 3,400 calories per day, and
the minimum requirements for
life are about 2,000. This lack of
food for Europe and Asia will
probably warp the minds and
thinking of the children and youth
to such an extent that new Hit
lers are being developed because
of America’s unwillingness to
share her food.
Government experiments during
the war with “planned” starva
tion showed that men who are
hungry loose all interest in norm
al life. These men were fed 1500
to 1800 calories per day and
showed every sign of starvation
—this is more food than most of
the people in Europe eat today-
When these men were fed 2000
to 2500 calories they still did not
regain their normal reactions. To
bring them out of their starved
condition, it took up to 4,000 cal
ories per day. The policy of our
occupation army is to feed an av
erage of 1500 calories per day to
the people of some parts of Ger
many and other European coun
tries. Without more than twice
this amount the young boy who
may be the next Hitler will con
tinue to be a social and political
problem for our world,
“If your enemy hunger, feed
him! ’ Or, better still, feed him
before he becomes our enemy!
ECHOES FROM THE
MOUNTAINS
H. Grady Hardin.
Many of the outstanding social
and religious agencies of America
will sponsor National Family
Week from May 5-12. During this
time splendid efforts will be made
in communities throughout the na
tion to center our thinking on the
importance of the family in our
civilization. That such a thing
is desirable is obvious, but that
it is necessary is tragic. Imagine
trying to interest mothers and
fathers in their children, or the
THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS
children in their parents! It is
hard to realize that the people in
our community should need any
outside suggestion that the fam
ily must be preserved and
; strengthened and made a place
worthy of our best efforts and
deepest love.
Because there are young chil
dren on our streets at all hours of
the day and night, because there
are mothers and fathers who sel
dom stay at home, because of the
students in our schools drop out
before finishing, because the ma
jority of our families attend no
church or church school, because
some families are being ruined by
drinking mothers and fathers and
children, because gross immorali
ty is wrecking some of our homes,
because the homes are too often
just places to eat and sleep we
need to observe National Family
Week.
Building on the foundations of
the good homes of our community
we can begin to build our com
munity on the soild foundations of
Christian homes. Consider just a
few suggestions:
Let the parents review the vows
taken at their wedding and renew
those vows.
Make a- special effort to make
the meal-time a happy family
gathering.
Set aside an evening next week
for “family night” and let it have
a place for family games, family
reading, and family worship. An
older child would like to make
the plans for such a “program.”
Go to the church of your choice
on Sunday and let the whole fam
ily sit together if possible.
