Let The People Speak

The Office of Price Administration
cannot point with pride to it's record,
not so much, we think, because the
fundamental principle upon which it
was founded was unsound in the emer-
gency of war, but because of bungling
at the top, the gestapo methods it en-
ployed, and it's departure from the
basic conception of fair consumer goods
distribution under the false impression
that prosecutions would impress TIE
people at large with the Importance of
conserving materials-in other words
to make them war-conscious.
Now that the war is over, and re-
senting the policies and practices of
OPA, the House of Representatives has
passed bill which, while granting an
extension, at the same time so emascu-
lates OPA operations as to render it
practically impotent and has sent the
measure on to the Senate, where the
Banking Committee has been holding
hearings on price controls, with the
shadow of initiation always in the back
ground.
The OPA has not prevented initiation,
but the question to be determined is
whether the cost of living would now
be greater or less without the OPA
and whether existing scarcities of
greatly needed consumer goods would
be overcome by the removal of OPA
controls. We hold no brief for OPA.
Its blunderings have been severely
criticized in these columns. But we are
convinced that the final decision really
rests with the people, and that the
Congress should take it's final legisla-
tive cue from the people.
The Senate will not get around to
consideration of the House bill for some
time to come-not, at least, Until it
dlsposes of the loan to Great Britain.
In the meantime there is opportunity
for the constituents of every member
in both branches to state their views
by mail or wire to their Senators and
representatives, and so provide a key
to public sentiment on the legislation.
1t is as important to write ones
representative as his senator because
the bill will doubtless go into con-
ference, once the Senate committee
has acted, and the representatives will
have the advantage of knowing the
public's opinion when reconsideration
is undertaken.
Senators Josiah w. Bailey and
Clyde Hoey and Representative J..
Bayard Clark, our own stewards in
Congress, will welcome the opinions Of
our citizens.
AS the people will be chiefly affected
by the final congressional action. Con-
gress should know how the people
view the issue
Time certainly flies-remember. when it used

lions of people have more money
today than they have ever had, but
you, if you are one of the people
who wrote me, probably never were
conscious of that fact.
The little graph shows the facts.
These figures on which it is based
are compiled by the department of
commerce, and the most anti-admin-
istration banker you know won't
doubt them.
They show, as you see, that in
1899, the public's spendable income
was SO billion dollars. The estimate
for 1916 is 139 billion.
Now your common sense will tell
you that the people who ate meat
every day didn't get all of that II
billion dollar increase in their
spending money. The low-income
groups got a large part of it. In
other words, America las a whole)
is eating more meat (and other
things) than it ever did before, and
because SO many MORE people are
eating SO much MORE meat, there
isn't as much left for the people
who ate all they wanted before.
The discussion of how much
America is eating arose in connec-
ton with the question as to our abil-
ity to help feed starving Europe and
Asia. Some people believed that be-
cause they couldn't buy as many
things at the store as they were
accustomed to buying, America
didn't have enough to spare.
But the people (you and y who
can't get all of what we want are
in no danger of starving. We can
get things we may not like, but
which will be just as good for us.
And also, we can be assured that
the people, who, in Americas past,
have been near the danger lines,
are getting a lot more than they
ever had before. And they weren't
starving then, either.
So don't think that we haven't
enough to spare for the invisible
guest.

More People in
Buying Market

Recently, I said over the air that
America was eating better, and
eating more than it had ever eaten
before. Immediately I received a
squall of stormy letters, vehement
ly denying my statement.
All of the writer's RECALLED me
with the same tale which my wife
brings home each day - that the
grocer's and the butchers shelves
are almost bare.
Nevertheless, America is eating
better and more food. Americans
who ate a yearly average of 127
pounds of meat before the war are
now gobbling it at the rate of $50
pounds. apiece. This statement is
from Fortune magazine, a periodi-
cal not noted for making false state
mentS.
You and I cannot get everything
we want, but we aren't all of Amer
lea by long way. You and I have
always had meat virtually every
day in the week.
But millions of people in this
country never had meat more than
once or twice a week. These mil

disregard the pressure brought upon
him by other forces in or out of

This particular inquiry by the
Quarterly showed legislators rated
the various influences on them, as
follows:

The bearing which these figures
have on the importance of writing
your congressman, in my opinion,
is this: they show that mail IS i'm

one end of the spectrum of impor-
lance jibe with the poll Cat the
other end), it certainly puts burr

Millions Eat
KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN
for Lasting Relief

Harsh laxatives got you feeling
down? If yours is the common type
of constipation, caused by lack Of
sufficient bulk in the diet, follow
this pleasant way to lasting regu-
larity.
Just eat serving of crisp, de-
licious KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN
every day and drink plenty of
water! Do this regularly-and if
your trouble is due to lack of bulk
you may never have to take an
other laxative the rest of your life!
ALL-BRAN is not a purgative-
not medicine. It's a wholesome,
natural laxative food, and
KELLoee's ALL-BRAN is Richer in
Nutrition than whole wheat
Because it's made from the vital
outer layers of wheat, in which
whole-wheat protective food ele-
ments are concentrated. One ounce
of ALL-BRAN provides more than
1s your daily iron need-to help
make good, red blood. Calcium and
phosphorus-to help build bones
and teeth. Vitamins - to help
guard against deficiencies. Protein
to help build body tissue essen
tial for growth. Eat ALL-BRAN

Official announcement that USO
will conduct its own Embarrassing
campaign next September and Octo-
Der with goal to cover minimum
service requirements through l947
was made by President Lindsey
F. Kimball at USO New York head
quarters.
USO came into being on Febru-
airy 4, 1941, when six member agen-
cies joined hands to create one or
ganiZation to care for the needs of
the men and women of the armed
forces. So far the American public
has contributed 200 million dollars
to the organization.
Still Needed, Says Ike.
In message to President Kimball,
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower stated:
May l earnestly count on your
organization and your host of volun-
teers to stay with us through the
dangerous and difficult period of
IL dllSltlOIl " lllldl pGdCe.
1--WE still have a pressing need
for the services of USO and will be
deeply grateful for your continued
help in the future as in the past"
Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz,
chief of naval operations, also sent
a message of congratulation.
For Wounded Veterans.
The need for raising a terminal
fund in the fall of 1916 is due to the
fact that the National War fund
will finance USO only through 1916.
Tentative, purely tentative, plans
for 1947 call for the operation of
some $50 to 400 USO clubs in the
continental United States, largely in
connection with hospitalized but
convalescent veterans. Operation of
station lounges for troops-in-transit,
men on leave, and families of serv-
ice people must continue. Overseas
clubs will carry on in Alaska, Canal
zone, Hawaii, Philippines, etc.
Camp shows will still be seen and
heard in l947 by men in hospitals
and men overseas.
Coincident with the announce
ment of the USO fall campaign,
President Kimban made public his
annual report, in which he says:
"USO finds that at its peak of
activity, it was serving 100000
people a day in one capacity or an
other, running up to more than 1,1O0,-
100000 the total served since the
organization was created.
3,035 Units at Peak.
tThe number of operations, such
as clubs, lounges and similar activi-
ties. reached high point back in
March of 1914, total of 3,035. As
training camps closed and the men
went overseas this number declined
but the overall volume of work in
creased.
'sThe fve-year peak of activity
and cost came after peace in Eu-
rope and before the surrender of
Japan. Redeployment of troops re-
opened many camps, doubled or
vastly increased loads of various
seaport cities. Expenditures
climbed to $4,000, 900 a month"
New Postwar Problems.
referring 10 ule 1uLure OF UoO,
Mr.. Kimball says in his report:
1.-The successful conclusion of the
war does not, cannot, and will not
return the United States to its pre-
war status. 1t is clear even
now that our armed forces in the
postwar period must be numbered
in the millions.

limited possibilities offered for
learning and teaching.
Designed to stimulate interest in
home economics and integrate high
school activities with organization
work, the Future Homemakers
movement evolved from plans
drawn by the American home eco
nomics association and the home
economics service of the U. S. Of
fee of education in 1914. Within
few months, it was accepted by
the state departments of education
and vocational education and the
state home economics associations
of majority of states, including
Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Toward New Horizons
When the pupil delegates of the
Future Homemakers met in Chi
cago last summer they were fully
prepared for formal organization of
their club. Besides writing their
creed and constitution, they devel-
oped policies and procedures, drew
a work program for the year, de-
cided upon red and white for their
colors, the red rose for their flow
er, and an octagonal emblem. Fit
tingly, they chose Toward New
Horizons" for their motto.
National in scope, the Future
Homemakers are broken down into
regional districts, with state and To-
cal chapters.
Presently, Myrtle Hilton of Tip
tonville, Tenn, is president; Anita
Lehman of Baton Rouge, La, is
vice president; Emma 10 Lewis of
De Land, Fla, is recreation chair
man; Joan Du Plessis of Swamps-
colt, Mass, is secretary; Barbara
Ann Boggs of Sutton, W. Va, is vice
president and Marie Bresnan of
East Haven, Conn, is national prof.
ect chairman.
Other officers include Irene Trout
of Milwaukee, Ore, treasurer; Bar
bara Parker of Carson City, New,
vice president; Margaret Worlton
of Lehi, Utah, public relations !;
Phyllis Marshall of Vermont, ILL.,,
parliamentarian; Deania Burnworth
of Independence, Kans., vice presi-
dent, and Lois K. Mueller of
Seymour, Wis, historian.
Wide Latitude Allowed.
While the pupil members of the
Future Homemakers are permitted
the widest latitude in the formula
ton and development of their pro-
grams, they are assisted by expert
enced advisers, including Edna
Amidon, chief of the home eco
nomics service of the U. S. office
of education; Mrs. Dora S. Lewis of
the executive board of the Ameri-
can Homemakers association !;
Emily Haydock of the National Edu-
cation association, and DR.. Hazel
Frost.
Successful in developing a home
economics club in Oklahoma sew
eral years ago, DR.. Frost, as ma
tional adviser of the Future Home
makers, has been largely credited
with the phenomenal growth of the
new movement. In assuming her
position with the Future Home
makers in 1914, DR.. Frost applied
the same principles she employed in
Oklahoma in making the new or
ganization a close working partner
of home economics classes.
Though mostly composed of girls,
the Future Homemakers also ad.
NIT boys to membership.
