WAR AND FAMINE

A news commentator writes:
Great wars have always brought the
threat of famine, and sometimes
the actuality But it is reasonable
supposition that this war, different
as it is from its predecessors in so
many ways, may be the precursor Of
greater hunger than the modern
world has known. In the past, ma
tions, when embarking on the great
adventure that is war, have usually
been fat, prosperous, well-fed. But
the Germans, long before war began
last September, were living on short
rations. And the wars of the past
were usually fought by professional
armies, at least at the beginning, and
military life was but one phase of
the life of the nation. In the present
case, Germany, and to a lesser ex-
tent Italy, have been following war
economy for years--everything, men
and material alike, has been dedi-
Gated to preparing for conflict. Pro-
duction of food has necessarily been
held to lowest possible minimum
substitutes of little nutritional value
have long been employed. 1t is not
unnatural that serious diseases
have been growing in both number
and intensity for many moons in
Germany and Italy
Disease, of course, is the ever
present ally of famine--and disease,
once it gets the upper hand, becomes
plague. Plague, according to the
international grapevine that myster-
iously brings news past the iron
clad European censorship, has al
ready come to Poland. And plague
respects no boundaries. The lack of
soap in Europe is a factor here
dirt provides the finest possible
breeding place for any kind of di-
sease
No one knows exactly how serious
the food situation is in Hitler-occu-
pied Europe. But it is known that
the conquered countries have been
Systematically Quilted of their food
reserves, in order that the German
Army and the German people can be
fed. The fine dairy herds of Dem
mark, products of centuries of de-
velopment, have been slaughtered
for beef. Already the people of Hol
land, Belgium, France and elsewhere
have felt the pinch, as basic foods,
notably fats, become more scarce.
Germany, because of her seizures,
is better off than most, but even
there the people exist on a bare sub
sistence basis.

STRIPS ATTRACT BIRDS

Recent counts OF the number of
birds that have their nests on culti-
vated land in Ohio show that grain
fields that are strip cropped barber
nearly three times as many birds as
do fields that are planted solid, as-
cording to biologists Of the Soil
Conservation Service. Many of the
birds attracted are insect eaters and
help control insect pests.

SEVEN MILLION PRODUCERS

There are seven million farmers
in the United States. Add their fami-
lies, and the total comes to some
100000 people who live from
filling the soil--and who constitute
the largest single market for the
products of our factories.
That is one reason why agricul-
tural cooperative marketing has
been given such wide approval by
the spokesman for industry, no less
than the spokesman for the farmer
This kind of cooperation has defin-
itely proven itself to be the strong
est economic weapon the farmer
possesses. 1t is based squarely on
business principles, not on tenuous
theories. 1t goes on unchanged
year after year, while government
farm relief varies with every shift
in the political wind.
A good percentage of those
100000 American farmers are
members of farmer-owned, farmer
More are Joining yearly. The co-ops
don't perform miracles. But they do
obtain the best possible break for
agriculture as whole.

SCHOOL LUNCHES

These suggestions come from the
Nutrionist of the Bureau of Child
Hygiene of the State Department of
Health:
School again--and again mothers
have the daily school lunch to plan
and pack.
Mothers are fortunate whose
children live in communities where
a lunch is served at school and child
rem can buy either all OF part OF
their noon lunch.
The school lunch standards are
the same whether lunch is bought
or brought. The daily lunch should
include: A cup of milk, or two milk
dishes; a substantial food such as
a sandwich; a hot dish; a serving
of fruit or vegetable; and simple
dessert if desired.
The daily lunch should include a
hot dish if possible. A hot dish is
advised not only because it is more
enjoyable than a cold lunch, but be-
cause it aids digestion and helps to
prevent the excessive fatigue that
overcomes so many children toward
the close of the day at school.
The hot dish may be nourish-
ing soup; a creamed vegetable; coca;
an appetizing stew; baked beans; or
a combination, such as macroni and
cheese, or rice and tomatoes. The
school cafeteria always serve sever
al of these hot dishes.
Milk is always available at the
cafeteria and is often hard to pack
in the lunch brought from home.
The cafeteria also furnishes simple
desserts and a complete lunch, II II
is more convenient to have a child
buy his whole lunch than bring IL
from home.
Mothers are urged to visit the
cafeterias at the schools attended
by their children and see for them
selves what Is available. They can
advise the children more readily
when they know just what can be
bought.
The managers of the eafeterias
will always be glad to explain to
each mother what food combina-
tions are usually served, and the
type of lunch that is best for the In
dividual child, either as a complete
lunch or to supplement what Is
brought from home. They will also
be glad for suggestions from the
parents.

RIED OUT

Potential draftees by millions
presented themselves on Wednesday,
Oct. 16, at $4,000 designated places
throughout the land, and signed up
for call by lottery to the armed

1t was the first active step in the
first peacetime CONSUMPTION in the

terms of a program that took the
country by surprise last summer
and fought its way to enactment
through intensively bitter controver-
sy between sharply divided and UNI

It was carried out, however, more
peaceably, taking the country as a
whole, than many national elections
of candidates to civil Office have
been. And it was watched by all the
world, with varying reactions.

ton may be impressed by the man
ner in which such work affects the
strength of our national defense
program.
According to news reports, nego-
tiations are under way to send rs
American firemen to London to study
new methods of quenching bomb
set fires. The plan was announced by
j. Ray Pence, Secretary Treasurer
Of the International Association of
Fire Department Instructors. He is
waiting approval of United States
officials and sanction of London

Linking the proposed expedition
with the national defense program,
Pence said that after six months
experience in the combat area, the
American firemen would return and
train their colleagues in wartime
fire-fighting technique. "Fire-fghters
are almost as important in this war
as aviators", said Pence.

THE HEADACHE CITY
By ]. E. Jones

Washington, October 21-The
actual responsibility of keeping this
country at peace, or drifting toward
war, rests on Washington. Even the
people who live in the National Cap
ital are not entirely sure about what
some of the greatest leaders in the
Government may do in the next
series of emergencies. While the
talk is all to the effect that the
energies of Government are backing
national defense it is pretty easy
for anybody to understand how
some overt act committed by Ger
many, Italy or Japan, might pre-
cipitate trouble with the United
States.
Everyone remembers how one
difference after another strained the
relations between the United States
and Germany before the World War,
so that the sinking of the Lusitania
was the last straw that broke the
back of peace.
The United States is involved in
the protection of good deal of out
lying territory which our Govern
ment says shall not be invaded by
conquerors of nations that have
previously held these possessions
and colonies in the Western Hemis-
phere.
Many members of Congress are
afraid to desert their posts in Wash
ington and go home to attend to
their campaigns. The reason is OBJ
vious. That's why Washington is
the city of headaches.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1940-10-25

Congress has been scrapping over
ways and means to slow down the
sessions and has finally cleaned up
all the matters of business that II
proposes to tackle until after cleo
ton. The National Labor Relations
Act is q "hot potato" and the Sen
ate has it safely packed away on
ice where 1t viii remain until the
new Congress goes into once In
January.
Congress refused to adjourn for
the reason that 1t felt II must hold
its own power to reconvene. without
surrender to the Presidents sugges-
tion that he would call them to-
gether s'if" they were needed.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1940-10-25

You can go mostly anywhere in
Washington and discover that the
National Labor Relations Board is
considered to be the most ineffect-
i've. clumsy and irrational agency in
he National Government. Neverthe-
.ess, the Board lodges the axe in the
Senate---just because politically
minded members of that legislative
sroup are content to let the Board
UNDERWAY until after election.
The House of Representatives
mas already put through a plan to
correct many of the methods by
which the Board has been more or
less a failure. With the probabili-
ties favoring almost continuous ses-
sions of Congress during the coming
desire to straighten out the Board.
Some day the Senate will wake up
and untangle this problem that
means a great deal to employers and
employees.
