MENTAL ALTERATION

The war is doing things to the Ameri-
can mind. Consider the case. reported in
the press. of the aged lady in Washington
who believed that five of her grandsons
were her sole support and the men who
were imbued with the same erroneous as
sumption.
Then there is the case of the lady of
wealth who strangely became convinced
that nine nephews and nieces were per-
sonal dependents.
In these cases, the report tells us, the
errors were corrected when called to the
attention of the persons concerned. Just
what methods were used to emphasize the
mistakes being made are not clear.
We call attention to these matters be-
cause of rumOrs that we have heard to the
effect that dependency has been known to
develop suddenly in Monroe County in con-
nectiOn with payments from the govern
ment. 1t is widespread that some of our
people have had Authorizations on the sub
ject of dependency and that, in the fight
ing services, there are several individuals
under the erroneous impression that they
are the sole support of the same dependent
We have no way of knowing whether
these mistakes" will be discovered in the
future. There is the chance Anyway,
normally-minded folks will look suspicious
Iy upon excessive. dependency payments
and our advice to those who think that "per-
haps' they are being overpaid is that they
keep the money available for return to the
source from which it is enormously re-
ceived
1t might be better idea to write the
source of the extra cash, telling the facts
and getting the situation corrected #

"T>HIS news sure is going to

spin" Hugh said heavily.
River Gap must never know
it, Hugh. !" she told him leveHy. ],
Hugh looked at her sharply,
froWning.
what do you mean by that?p
he demanded.
"Two people have died from
this fever. Hugh" she pointed out
gravely. "There are two-perhaps
more-patients in the hospital
now. We have no way of knowing
whether there may not be an cpl
demic. If the people Of River Gap
knew the truth about this fever
there would be a panic almost
worse than an epidemic. You see
that, darling?"
Yes, of course" Hugh finally
agreed somberly.
That's why only Jerry himself
is to know, because he has to
know how desperately important
it is for him to get away for
treatment to this place in the
Caribbean" said Meredith, and
added, fearfully, Il am to tell
him-and | am to go with him"
Hugh sat bolt upright, the
shock of that replacing the first
shock of her revelation.
"Here now. wait a minute
what's all this? You're to go with
him?" he protested, his brows
drawing together in a. scewl that
she had rarely seen on his dark,
good-looking face. "A tf4k&3
Il am to be assigned to the re-
search base for three or four
months, to study the treatment

Jerry-and can help them if I
know what's wrong and the right
treatment" she explained steadi-
ly.
HUGHS mouth was set now
II and his eyes were angry.
Isn't that just bit farfetched
the necessity of your being able

he asked, tightlipped. Il was unve

pointed out quietly. Sand you see

you. Why couldn't Frazier go?"
"Partly because River Gap is
my own, Hugh, and because ! ex-
pect to stay here all my life, as
Jonathan did!" she answered him
steadily. Stewart will stay until
he is completely well. He may
want to stay on longer, or he may
want 10 go somewhere else where
there are greater opportunities.

 To set the stage for his argu-' ments, he declared that we several times came within a hairs breadth of losing the war with Germany and Japan, and were saved only because Britain and Russia fought on against seemingly hopeless odds, because our enemies made stupid mistakes, and because we got other good breaks"
 Tn future war, Marshall de- clared, an enemy's "rocket-pro- pelled' atomic bombs and other miracle weapons may destroy us al- most overnight, "unless we can move armies of men into the enc mys bases of operations and seize the sites from which he launches his attacks"
 He did not explain how we will have time to move the armies Ii the enemy launches a surprise attack, which destroys our cities, indus tries and forces, or how we could move armies across the against the enemy's long-range atomic bombs.

''Unemployment Has Become Craue National PrObIem''
 By NELSON CRUICKSHANK
 AFL Social Security Director

Substantial unemployment, which may rise to eight million by next spring and stay at that level all during 1946 was forecast by Re- conversion Director Snyder in a report to the President and to Congress a few days ago.
 This is a grave problem. It is a national problem. It must be considered and acted upon at the national level. We cannot leave it to the forty-eight states to deal with it individually.
 Mass unemployment has the same disintegrating effect upon our national economy as an atomic bomb has on the physical structure of any city it may hit. Of course, it's primary damage is felt most keenly by the people who lose their jobs. But it also knocks the props out of business and the farm CTS who must depend upon the pur- chasing power of all the people to market their products.
 In his report, MT. Snyoer recom- mends speedier recouversion, tax relief and higher wages as the best methods of combating unemploy- ment and creating an adequate SUD- ply of new jobs for displaced war workers and returning veterans. Labor supports this program fully.
 But there are other important steps which can and should be taken to help those temporarily unemployed to find new jobs. One of these is the establishment of a national system of employment Of- fees.
 A bill to accomplish this end was introduced in Congress this week by Senators Murray, Wagner and McMahOn. It should have the sup port of the American people. Prev iously the Senate had adopted a legislative rider returning control of the United States Employment Service to the states. That move

World Security Organization Is Facing First Test
Food Conference at Quebec Has Many Problems That
 Involve Future Peace

The World Security Conference at San Francisco set up a number of United Nations organizations to promote peace. The first practical test of one of those organizations begins this week at Quebec, Can- ada, when delegates from 40 na- tions meet to launch the Interna- tional Food and Agriculture Organ ization and to tackle the problems for which it was created.
 Those problems involve far more than vague talk about peace. They concern bread, butter and other foods for the worlds peoples, cot ton and other 'fibers" from which clothes are made, dollars and their equivalent in the money of many lands. They concern business men and consumers as we'll as farmers.
 The United States and other coun- tural products will want to arrange tries which produce large surpluses of grain, cotton and other agricul- to sell them at good prices. Coun- tries like England, which consume more of those products than they produce, will want to get them at low prices. They also will want to increase their "home grown" sup ply, thus making the world sur- plus" even larger than it is.
 For example, South American countries may want to grow more cotton, even if that means farmers in the United States must grow less and American business men must sell less.
 These and numerous other prob lems which face the Quebec con- ference cannot be solved by polite talk about peace. If they are solved, however, the cause of peace will be advanced.
 On the other hand, failure of this food conference may indicate that practical problems are too much for United Nations organizations.

Swindle!

Montgomery Ward & Co.,, the big anti-union mail-order concern, has been swindling the public on radio receiving sets, the Federal Trade Commission charges.
 According to an F. T. c. "com- plaint," Montgomery Ward has been falsely advertising that its ra- dio sets have up to 12 fully func- tioning tubes and are equipped for television."
 Some of the tubes are dummies which perform no function, and the sets cannot receive television programs, the commission said.
The sub., 1945-10-25

should be stopped.
 The purpose of public employs ment agencies is to inform the un- employed where jobs may be found A state agency would be severely handicapped in this respect because it would not know about jobs out- side of its territorial limits. During the war there occurred mass mig- rations of workers from surplus manpower areas to centers of war production activity. Tn the post- war period, reverse migrations will have to take place in order to guide workers to peacetime production centers. Only a national agency can direct these movements intel. ligently.
 The only factor In favor of state control is political patronage. Sure~ ly the needs of our returning ser- vicemen and stranded war workers deserve greater consideration than the distribution of few political plums.
 The American Federation of Lac bor hopes that Congress will deal with this issue in a statesmanlike way and approve the Murray-WaG. ner-McMahon bill.

The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1945-02-03

Schools are beginning to realize
that they share with parents the
responsibility of providing proper
nutrition for the child" said she,
"since one third to one half of the
child's daily food needs should be
supplied by the monday meal.
Half fed children cannot absorb
teaching, and trying to educate
them is waste Of money. To pro-
vide INTENTIONALLY adequate lunches
for pupils, the school lunch pro-
gram was begun. This plan, now
operating in 900 state schools, fur
nishes meals for over $4,000 chill
dren each day."
The large number of lunches SER
we'd is gratifying, said the super
visor, but eve nmore important is
the improvement in the quality Of
the meals. In Miss Wilson's opin-
ion, the program is fast becoming
a sample of good nutrition and is
offering a satisfactory meal instead
of a snack period
School administrators, teachers
and parents are enthusiastic about
the hot lunch program" she de-
clared. Some Of the noticeable re
suits have been betterment of scho-
lastic records, lessening of beha-
vior problems, and marked i'm
provement in child health and at
tendance records" Federal funds
are available to assist schools which
wish to establish such a lunch pro-
gram, Miss Wilson advised.
