COORDINATING FOOD
RESOURCES

Food will win the war and write
the peace" says Claude r. Wickard.
Food must not only be raised and
prepared for the consumer but ii
must be distributed so he can get it..
At the opening of 1912, there were
100000 food stores in the United
States. At the end of the year there
were $4,000.
In order to meet countless prob
lens stores are facing today, the
National Association of Food Chains
has created GOOD Industry War
Committee" to deal with the acute
food situation, and cooperate with
the food administrator in solving
distribution problems.
Without concerted action by the
stores, such as they are giving, no
food ratioliing program could ever
be successfully carried on. Our whole
industrial and military success de-
ponds upon the raising and distri-
button of food.

MAIZE is ALL-AMERICAN CROP

Maize or Indian corn filed the
granaries of the agricultural people
of the western Hemisphere as far
back as the earliest records go, A. E.
Longley of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture points out in an article
in Agriculture in the Americas. .
"Maize," he says, always has been
the most important agricultural crop
of the Americas, and toady it is
grown widely in temperate and trop-
ical regions all over the world. The
Indians of the past developed this
cereal to assure themselves an ade-
quate food supply. 1t is likely that
in the next few years of stress and
strain corn will be even more import
ant as the Americas may be called
to become the granary of the world.
Maize, when Columbus discovered
America, was primarily a food for
man, but the white race soon found
hat not only the grain but the whole
plant was relished by his fiocks and
herds, and today man uses for his
own consumption only minor part
of the corn produced"

PROTECTION NEEDED

GAS the vacation season, with its
picnics, approaches by all means
have yourself protected against ty-
phoid fever" DR.. r. H. Riley, Direc-
tor of the State Department of
Health, urges Marylanders. "Since
this serious disease Is preventable ii
is foolhardy to run the risk of in
lection"
"Immunization is simple and
safe procedure, easily performed by
your family doctor or your health
officer. The treatment consists OF
three innoculations given one week
apart. Your motto should be three
shots every three years, because the
immunity conferred does not usual
ly last more than three years. If you
have not been vaccinated against
typhoid fever recently have it done
now, not Immediately before your
vacation; because it takes time for
immunity to become established.
EVERY case of typhoid fever" Dr.
Riley continues. sis known to re-
suit from consuming food, water or
milk that has been contaminated
with human excreta containing the
disease-producing germs. Sush dis
charges may come from a person ill
with typhoid fever or from carrier,
person who has had the disease
and recovered but continues to dis
charge the germs. Although improv-
ed anitation-including careful sup
ervision of milk and food and the
public water supply-has greatly
reduced the incidence of typhoid
there is still danger of exposure to
the disease. In 1912 there were ia
known cases of TYPHOID fever in Mary
land, 80 in the counties and 80 in
Baltimore City, resulting in 8 deaths
in the counties and in Baltimore
City, according to the provisional
lgures now available.
when you go on a picnic or a
camping trip, riff you live for any
time in trailer camp, there is par
ticular danger of being exposed to
the diease. Above all it is dangerous
to drink water from an unknown
stream, however clear and sparkling
it may look, without boiling it lrst
Finally, no matter how careful
you may try ITO be, there is always
a possibility of being exposed to in
lection from some unknown and un-
suspected source. To enjoy your out
door activities without this risk to
your health it is, therefore, wise to
go to physician for the immuniza-
tion that can protect you by helping
your body to build defenses against
possible exposure to typhoid fever y

STOP WORLD WAR iii NOW

Powerful arguments can be adj
vanced, solely from a dollars and
cents standpoint, to show why this
country should participate in world
affairs and lead the way in promot-
ing international trade. Over and
above these arguments is the funda-
mental proposition that through
sound trade relations permanent
peace can be established. The truth
of this proposition should be the ul-
innate determining factor in rally
ing support for any trade program.
there must be. Individuals or groups
who oppose extension of the Recip-
rocal Trade Agreements Act because
of an imagined possibility that the
profits of their businesses may suffer
in some degree, and who wholly ov-
erlook the consideration of future
peace, deserve little consideration
from the millions OF parents whose
sons and adughters are lighting the
present war.
Twelve hundred OF the nations
economists have united in warning
against abandonment of the policy
of reciprocal traed agreements.

POST WAR HIGHWAY
PROGRAM

Actual engineering work on a
vast postwar highway building pro
gram is under way in Washington
under the direction of the Public
Roads Commission, Mr.. L. E. Kol-
mer, General Manager of the Auto
mobile Club of Maryland was advis-
red by A. A. A. national headquar-
ters.
Financed by a special $40, 900
fund established by Congress in the
Defense Highway Act 1941, the en-
cheering work now going forward
includes not only planning but also
surveys and the preparation of de-
tailed specifications ready for the
contractors bids, MIR. Kolmer re-
ported.
"a total of half a billion dollars
is involved in the postwar highway
building program on which advance
work is now being DONE" the A. A.
A. official said. "Only projects of such
magnitude as to require considerable
time and study in planning are con-
Jidered eligible for projects that re-
quire only normal engineering work
In advance of construction.
"These plans for Federal-State
highway development after victory
has been won make it all-important
that present road funds, accumu-
lated because of scarcity of road
building materials, be preserved in
tact and not dissipated on non-high-
way projects"

MILITARY VERSUS CIVILIAN
NEEDS
BY j. e. Jones

The primary objective today Is to
come first where it conflicts with
civilian needs in the face of equip
ment, materials or manpower short
ages. However, the war can be won
only if sound home-front is main
tanned at the same time.
That means production for essen
tial civilian needs must be maintain
ed at such a level as to safeguard
morale and health of those doing
their bit for the war effort on the
home front. In the strictest sense,
therefore, military and essential CT
william needs must be regarded on a
par. The dividing line is not between
them but rather between essential
and unessential civilian needs
The Office of Price Administra-
ton has repeatedly granted price in
creases because, in it's opinion, these
were necessary to maintain war pro-
duction at maximum level. Thus far
it has refused to accept the same
principle for the maintenance of es-
sential civilian production of such
items as, say, canned goods or under
wear, however
Evidently processed foods and tex
lies, such as heavy fall and winter
underwear, fall into the category of
essential civilian goods. Yet under a
mistaken Interpretation of the Pres
dent's recent "Hold-the-Line" or
der, OPA is refusing to grant price
adjustments for these groups of COM
modities despite the fact that it has
been clearly demonstrated that many
manufacturers cannot continue to
operate at present ceiling prices.
OPA has been warned time and
again that there will be serious
shortage of underwear next fall and
winter unless manufacturers are
given price ceilings which will enable
hem to continue operation and avoid
bankruptcy. The health of the ma
ion would be seriously jeopardized
# this were allowed to happen. Such
IN outcome would constitute a
threat to the war effort since it
would directly affect the protection

Trade Pacts

Secretary of State Cordell Hull
las apparently convinced Congress
hat Trade Agreements made under
ais supervision are great success.
IN the old days the Republicans pop
llarized the protective tariff system.
When Mr.. Hull was Senator he
vas strong advocate of free trade.
He developed an original idea and
he must have let President-elect
Roosevelt know about it before he
vas made Premier of the President s
Cabinet. He called the new device
Trade Agreements" The New Deal
Congress put the Hull plan into OPP
eration and now after nine years the
secretary points with pride to the
.'ecord and demands that the system
BE continued for another three years.
The Republicans have been trying to
compromise by voting two years ex-
tension, but the legislators on Capt.
.ol Hill have been falling in line, and
Hull will have his way. Mark Sulli-
van is correct in is statement that
the Senate acts favorably upon the
request of Secretary of State Hull it
will be for one reason. 1.-THE reason
will be Mr.. Hull" says Sullivan.

Pay-As-You-Go Tax Plan

1t is often said that everybody
wants the full pay-as-you-go tax
plan except the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury.
The pay-as-you-go tax proposal
undoubtedly is not perfect tax
measure-there are no perfect" tax
plans. The need of easier terms of
payment for the small wage-earnei
is the outstandig virtue of the plan
and that is the only reason the whole
country as been clamoring for its
