Sub Presents New Column by Dr. Benson

Dr. George s. Benson (above, President of Harding College, Searcy, Arkansas, Is the author of the column LOOKING AHEAD, which starts this week in the Sub.
 Dr. Benson is a college president with years of active work as an educator behind him, but he is by no means college professor of con- ventional model. Here is a brief biographical sketch that tells a great deal.
 George Stuart Benson was born In Dewey County, Oklahoma on September 26, 1898. He grew up on a farm 60 miles from a railroad. He went to public schools and worked his way through college. He took his B.A degree from Hard ing College, a B.S. degree from Oklahoma A. & M. College at Still water and did his graduate study in the University of Chicago. Be- tween years at college he taught school and coached athletics.
 In 1925 when he was 27 years old Dr. Benson married and went to China where his two daughters were born. While in the Orient he taught in a Chinese University and established two small colleges. Be- sides, he travelled in Japan, India, the Malay Straits, Egypt, Palestine and Europe.
 Since May 1941 when he journeyed to Washington at his own invitation to testify before the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives, he has been obliged to travel extensively in the United States. His testimony in Washington made him one of the most talked-of men in America for a day. Recommending home-spun economy in government, he showed the powerful committee how 1t could save two billion dollars . year by eliminating a few unneces- sary bureaus.
 The story of economy he told the Ways and Means Committee was not new story to him. Economy was what he understood best, in theory and in practice, in China as well as at home, as president of poor boys college no less than on the sequestered Oklahoma farm. He is an apostle of economy in govern ment as elsewhere, of personal in- dependence and self reliance, of hard work and frugality. He is . farmer now; not at heart only, but actually. He operates two farms owned by Harding College and any, body who thinks it's second hand operation can think again.

Black Market a11d Intuition
By DOC" GILGER

The war has brought the black market Which will in turn bring inflation- Unless we all pitch in together To rid ourselves of evil situation. The operators are worse than spies or saboteurs And they survive only by our permission, And If we don't do something to check them now, They will send the country down to perdition You have read of Benedict Arnold with scorn, These parasites surely are no better But with the cooperation of the public at large Their activities we shall very letter Just be satisfied with your allotted share, Never pay anything above ceiling price. Report infractiOnS to the OPA And we'll soon get rid of these lice. Don't try to out-bid your neighbor For things that neither of you need; Just because you have lot of money And wish to satisfy your greed. Don't think you are smart and big shot, too Because you buy food without surrendering pointss You'd be twice the you think you If you'd help exterminate all of these joints. You're not only putting the countrys future at stake You're rsking your life wel Eating meat slaughtered in cellars and barns Where the filth would make your stomach rebel. The methods of handling black market foods Go hand in hand with disease. So why gamble with your fanily's health, Your ego just to please? Every time you buy from these traitors You pushing V-day further away, And the added cost in life and blood Gan only be reckoned on Judgment Day. You boast of your sons deeds over there, Of his fine morale and lack of fear But have you told him that you've broken his faith By your unpatrotic deeds over here? You don't need uniform to fight this war You can fight at home in civilian clothes. By working and living within the law You can deal the foe some terrific blows. A thousand dollars for loaf of bread! 1t can't happen here, you say But it happened in France, in China and Greece And it can happen here and 1t may! What good this sacrifice of life What good your sons medal or citation What good if we defeat enemies- But destroy ourselves with imitation. So let's back up your son and mine And on his return, look into his eyes And say, "Son, we've done our part, We're couple of real American guys"
