Ideas Cannot Be
Rati.,ned

NTO ONE need fear the lack inn
u piled by rationing unless he
can be convinced that the wis
dom and substance of his heavenly
Father, divine Love, are running
low. Can it be possible that GOD has
not enough of good to 60 around?
No, for as the father in Jesus par
able said to the elder son remaining
at home luke 15:3D, "Son, thou art
ever with me, and all that have is
thine" so our heavenly Father is
reassuring us today: "All that have
is thine"
The Psalmist expressed confidence
in the fact that .'the earth is the
Lords, and the fulness thereof"
Psalms PAID. Jesus thought and
action expressed an unfailing sense
of abundance in every situation.
Obviously, he knew the source of
supply was not matter but Spirit.
Today "the earth is the Lords" and
His fullness has not changed. Fright
ened mortals, entertaining finite
concept of supply as material, may
not comprehend the infinite abun-
dance of Spirit; nevertheless. good is
forever unlimited.
"Fear was the first manifestation
of the error of material sense"
writes Mary Baker Eddy in Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" Up. 1927. War is unques-
tionably an error of material sense,
belief in more than one Mind. Is
it not fear, then, that misleads NOR
tails to expect a lack of necessities
and proceeds to manifest this ac-
cepted sense of scarcity? True, some
avenues of material supply are today
50 blocked as to cause lack of GER
tain commodities. Yet three ways
out of the difficulty have already
presented themselves: first, such RAJ
tioning of these commodities as to
ensure impartiality of supply and to
prevent selfish boarding; secondly,
discovery and manufacture of ac-
ceptable substitutes; and lastly,
awakening to the fact that many
things once deemed essential are not
actually needed. And what are these
activities but evidences Of wisdom,
reSOurcefuiness, and a revised out
look upon human need. unfolding to
relieve the human extremity? SoIv-
ing of the problem of insufflciency
shows the equally practical solution

WASHINGTON D. C.-The soldier
stormed into the Red Cross Office at q
southern Army camp. His mouth was
set in hard, straight line; his eyes
were cold, determined. His wife trailed
him as he strobe across the reception
room her face was red and swollen
from crying. They were not over %.
Il need help" the soldier told the
Red Cross field director at the desk.
"And need 1t fast"
The Red Cross field director smiled,
but the soldier did not return it. "All
right, soldier, let's see what's the
trouble"
"If don't get help Pm going over
the HILL" he blurted. "Im on alert now
due to move out almost any minute.
But I'm not going-and leave my wife
with no place to stay"
Further conversation developed that
the young bride was an expectant
mother. She was unable to go home
because Of her stepfather. Her hus.
band had 20 relatives with whom she
could stay. And the allotment he had
made to his wife had not yet come
through.
Two hours later-after much con,
versation and planning = the soldier
was shaking the hand Of the Red Cross
field director.
The Red Cross man had arranged
that the soldiers wife spend the night
at the Army camp guest house. Prep
arations had been completed with a
nearby Red Cross chapter for her
transportation back home. The Red
Cross chapter in the girls home town
had agreed to see that she had proper
care until the baby was born. By that
time the allotment would be coming
through.

Attitude Of Local Society lmperils Health of War
 Workers

MOBILE, Ala.-Physicians here intent on bleeding war workers oi their meager earnings for medical care even if the health of the entire city is periled, are barring entry of doctors from other communities tc practice in the city.
 Faced by a shortage of doctors able to care for the increased pOpu. latiOn here, the Mobile County Medical Society has not only re. fused to recruit physicians from other states but is barring them from membership in the society, it was revealed here.
 The county societys opposition tc importation of doctors extended ever to the US. Public Health Service when its officers proposed to assign doctors to Mobile to care for the civilian population.
 Anxious to keep local doctors pockets we'll filled with workers money and to prevent any new phy. sicians from taking business away the local society first ran into diff. culty with the state medical society
 The state society resolved that the Mobile ban was not valid. Undaunted members of the local society went tc court and obtained a temporary in- junction preventing the local secretary from accepting new members.
 Those few liberal doctors here who look more to the health of wal workers than to the financial stand. ing of physicians point out that SC many doctors have been called to service in Mobile that each doctor must attend 4,OOO people.
 The minimum safety level for doc tors to population, according to the US. Public Health Service, is one for 1,500 persons.

Farm Co-ops
 Ask Stronger Price Control
Eleven New Jersey Groups Present Demands In
 Washington

WASHINCTON.-A new organi- zation, the Farmers Co-ordinating Committee for Price Control, repre- senting II farm co-operatives and associations, or 2,5OO farm fami- lies in New Jersey, has appeared on the Washington scene to de- mand, not higher prices, but more price control and aIlOcatiOn of feed products.
 It sent spokesmen to see War Food Administrator Marvin Jones to ''un- equivocally and without any reserva- tlon offer our complete support tc the Office of Price Administration, War Food Administration, and to the President in their fight to hold the line against any cost increase oi commodities to the consumer in order to prevent inhation"
 It favored subsidies where neces- sary, in the form of a purchase and resale program, ''and ceiling prices on all products including our Own.''
 ''We disassOciate ourselves from those who because of their selfish interest attack O.P.A., W.F.A., the President of the United States and the administration generally" one of their blanks reads.
 They asked: stabilization of feed prices on the same egg-feed ratio ap- plying as of June, 1943; ceiling prices on all feed products; a definite sched- ule of production goals for poultry and egg producers; allocation of feeds to assure that necessary available feeds shall not be diverted into the production of food commodities which the administration does not deem nec- essary to the war effort"
 At present feed supplies are go- ing to hog producers, the dairy and egg producers are holding the bag.

Militancyls UrgedByTOne AtConvention
Well Informed Membership Best Guarantee of Labor
 Progress

Former Labor Commissioner JO. seph M. Tone, in addressing the 58th convention of the Conn. Fed eration of Labor, Wednesday. strongly urged the education of many new union members in the principles and ideals of the labor movement.
 Tone, who is a cOnsultant for the U. s. Department of Labor, repre- scented Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins at the convention. He stressed the need of stimulating large numbers of newly organized unionists in the true spirit of labor organization in order to prepare them to help labor hold its gains and improve its position in the postwar world.
 After the war, labor must be powerful and its power must rest upon a united, enthusiastic and we'll disciplined membership" he affirmed.
 "The fervor and enthusiasm 1 re- fer to will come about only if mem- bers attend all meetings and take an active part in the work of their To- calls"
 Tone, who is member of Elm Lodge APO, New Haven Machin- ists, called for a revival of the militancy of the labor pioneers but pointed to the need of a new and intelligent approach to modern la- bor problems.
 As one of these problems which has direct bearing on the welfare of workers and the war production pro- gram, he cited the need for an active interest in the U. s. Labor Depart ment'S campaign to reduce the alarm ing incident of industrial accidents, which has killed or injured some B. 500,000 workers since Pearl Harbor.
 s'It is high time that we of or ganized labor did something to pre- vent this loss of life, limb and skill and production time. The primary responsibility still rests with em- ployer, but it is important that la- bor do as much as it can to de- velop safety consciousness among its members. UniOnists should learn to watch for the hazards of their job and learn to work so as to avoid injury"
 Tone said that he has been placed in charge of a special office known as Labor Service" which has been set up to serve labor unions by fur nishing them information from the federal agencies and arranging for interviews with proper officials for labor representatives on special prob lens. The address Is Labor Service, Room 1127, U. s. Department of La Dor, Washington.
