LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE

1.-THE year ahead" says the Farm
Jiurnal and Farmers Wife, will
afford striking material for thought
full farmers to consider. Wartime re-
strictions have reached into every
day of everyone's life. Farmers have
taken ratioinng, price ceilings and
floors, and all else in their stride.
Agreeing that some controls are to
be expected in wartime, farmers have
seen tkat none has worked too well.
&c. Agricultural price policies,
for instance, have been affected by
the political demands that cost of liv-
ing be held down. Farmers have seen
sue hpilicies defeat their own ends
by creating scarcities where plenty
was possible, and by setting up black
market prices instead of fair prices.
Watching the ponderous efforts of
government to meet the rapidly
changing situations of these months
ahead, farmers will have chance
to estimate how MUCK government
they want in thei raffairs when the
war has passed."

in youth movements throughout the
world after World War l. Doubtless
their elders will again misunderstood

COMMUNITY CANNING

A nationwide program to help pro-
vide urgently needed food for the
hungry millions in war-devastatei
Europe has been launched in commu-
inty canning, centers, it is announ-
ced.
The Community Canning Program
for War Relief was organized by the
United Nations Relief and Rehabili-
tation Administration with the COOP
GRAFTON of three divisions of the Uni
ted Safes Department of Agriculture,
the Office of Home Food Supply, Fed
eral and State Extension Services,
and Nutrition Program Branch the
United States Office of Education,
Future Farmers of America, the
Camp Fire Girls, and the Girl
Scouts. The United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administration
will ship TIE contributions.
Users of community canning CEN
ters have been urged to step up pro-
duction ten per cent above all local
needs and to contribute this surplus
for free distribution overseas. This
pan to build food pool for war re-
lief will not lead to any reduction in
the domestic civilian supply.
Dan A. West, Director of the Divi-
sion of Contributed Supplies of
UNRRA, is Executive Director of the
Community Canning Program for
War Relief, with natioial headquar-
ters at 100 Maiden Lane, New York.
He pointed out that only vegetables,
fruit and vegetable and fruit juices
canned in tin under qualified super
vision are sought. Fruit packed in
water without sugar is acceptable.
Food in glass containers cannot be
accepted for overseas shipment.
In communities where there are
canning centers, members of victory
garden groups, farm organizations,
youth groups, women's clubs. Parent
Teacher Associations and civic and
service clubs are supporting the pro-
gram.

ABREAST OF THE TIMES

Just about the time the general
public comes to the conclusion that
the good old days are gone forever
that kigh costs will prevent expan-
sion, and that it will be necessary for
a benevolent government to look af-
ter all it's unemployed citizens, indus
try comes along with some new and
helpful plans which upset the pessi-
mist's applicant. AS evidence of this,
the possibility of a postwar building
boom has stimulated interest in i'm
proved building codes throughout
the country, according to a report
just issued by the National Board OF
Fire Underwriters.
While the public has feared the
cost of building will be so high after
the war that the average man can
not hope to own home, the National
Board cites that predictions are
widely made that postwar houses en-
bodying materials now generally un-
known, will be fabricated in greater
quantities in factories so that they
can be quickly assembled on the
building site. Unbelievably low costs
to purchasers are talked about.
"The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States is on record advising
cities to restudy their building codes.
1t is hoped that provision may be
made to take advantage of tecknolo-
gical advances resulting from the
War effort and the availability of
new building materials which are in
the process of development. Lower
building costs with the same promise
of safety are in prospect"
The insurance industry is seeking
to keep abreast of the times by hav-
ing building codes in various cities
perfected so as to facilitate construc-
ton along safe lines which will as
sure the lowest possible insurance
cost.

VETERANS WILL GET JOBS

Men and women who left insurance
jobs to serve with the nations arm
ed forces, will find that the business
has a twofold educational program
waiting for them upon their return to
civilian life. Immediately available
will be printed summaries of all i'm
portant changes that have taken
place in property, casualty and in
Ind marine insurance. Selected GEN.
tiers will provide refresher courses.
Also available will be advanced and
special adult educational courses de-
signed to fit them for better jobs.
Plans are being developed for pro-
viding adequate, educational facili-
ties for those returning veterans
without previous insurance exper-
fence, who desire to enter the bust
ness either as agents or company en-
ployees. There will be jobs for many
new employees.

Scriptures" Up. 89). This can be

'Mind," she says in the same para

1t would be a mistake, however,
to try to use this statement of truth
as an excuse for not making use of
the widespread opportunities for
schooling. School courses can be ex-
cellent proving grounds for this more
spiritual understanding, but those
without the privileges of formal edu-

We do not develop the skills with
which to conduct our daily activi-

never waits on temperament or

and nothing is ever beyond its COM

We, too, can say it, and prove it in
all right activity.

need any development. Since man

Day by day our ratioinng and
price control system grows more
taut. This situation brings us face
to face with an issue which involves
liberty itself. Will we turn back to
the American system of free econo-
my at the earliest possible moment,
or will we go further with controls
that decide for every individual what
he may produce. buy or sell? If we
accept the latter dortrine, we SHOULD
not kick at restrictions and short
ages. If we accept the former doc
trine, we should not kick at higher
or lower prices based on true costs
and a competitive market. We can't
expect a free and easy American life
with the risks it involves and the OPP
portunities it offers, under a con-
trolled economy.
