The baseball season opened here
yesterday with a game between
the strong Chestertown club and
Smyrna. 1t was an elegant and
exciting game throughout, taking
ten innings to decide it. 1t looked
at first as if Chestertown would
have an easy thing of it.. In the
sixth inning our boys began to hit
the ball and gradually crept up on
their opponents until they tied
them in the ninth inning, the score
standing 5 to 5. In Chestertown's
half of the tenth they managed to
score a run through the daring
base running of Steinman.

We Can PreUent
This
HORROR
By DAVID KARNo and HARRY BARNARD

Despite its terrible vastness, the international
food problem, involving starvation for millions
can be UNDERSTANDABLE presented.
1t takes $500 calories Of food day to assure an
individuals health. Yet because of the effect Of
the war on manpower and farm equipment, to-
gether with crop failures, millions of Europeans
and Asatics face diet of less than 150O calories
in some areas below 900. This adds up to dis
ease, suffering, famine, death.
The danger areas are known. Herbert Hoover
found that 100000 Polish children are under
nourished. An official group from India reported
that between 100000 to 100000 will die
there unless they obtain 100000 tons Of wheat
and rice in the next IL months In Germany, ra-
tions have been cut below l,5OO calories In Italy
100000 mothers and children face starvation.
In China and other parts of the Far East, there is
a frightful shortage Of wheat and rice.
We Can sove Millions
Yet in certain favored lands, notably the United
States, the caloric intake, on the average, is well
above 3,500-much more than health requires.
Spared the ravages of war, these lands have the
capacity for producing surplus above the $500
figure. Indeed, they enjoy the luxury of waste
An efficient reshufaing of diet in the United
States alone would save more than 100000, 900
persons from starvation. Another 1OO,OOO,OOO
could be saved by stepping up our production.
Almost as many could be saved by the food we
waste. About 5O0,OOO,0OO people - about one
quarter Of the entire population Of the globe-face
famine. If all the shave" nations do their part,
these people can be saved until their own produc-
tive capacity is restored.
Americas share in this responsibility calls for
the following program:

meat, oils, fats, butter and canned staple

Politics Is to BIume
Why has such program not been adopted?
Why was rationing ended with speed that out
did even the Harding ''normalcy?" The answer is
narrow politics and an underestimate on the part
of our leaders of the real moral nature of Ameri-
cans.
Some politicians have believed that Americans
more interested in overfling their stomachs
than in creating decent world, more concerned
with self than with selfesteem This is an especial.
ly dangerous and stupid form of isolationism.
Americans have never failed to heed the cries
of human suffering anywhere in the world. = =

machinery to get rationing going almost over.

generation, the rulers of tomorrow. I must do my part in the future to pass many of the hopes and as- pirations of our present day lead- CTS on to future generations. From this younger generation must come teachers, home-makers, lawyers, doctors, mechanics, artists and business men of tomorrow. The task before today's youth Is enorm- ous. It has been said that today's youth Is tomorrows hope or deS- pair. My explicit duty toward my country is to make myself a bet ter citizen so that I may be thor oughly prepared for the problems of the future. I am obliged to pursue whatever vocation I may have in life with the utmost dili- gence and care for the best inter- eSts of my country and humanity.
 Sense of Direction
 I must train myself as Q citizen to profit by the experiences of others; to develop a sense of direc- tion and to act. with resolution. I must guide myself along the road which leads to the preservation of the American way of life, the pres- ervation of the. dignity and the freedom of the Individual man. To know the American way of life 1t is necessary to know our govern ment and what 1t stands for, mind- ful always of the fact that God is essential in any government if that government is to endure. The world is in @ turmoil today because too many leaders have forgotten about God.
 In this trying period I must fix securely in my mind the fact that our form of government is the best in the world. Although this great World War IT which was fought to decide whether or not Christian ity was to survive, has been com pleted, there Is still a conflict of ideas and idealg in oalr country to.

Nanking, June 21-(UP)-An ,eight-day extension of the 15-day truce that has halted China's civil war was announced by the Minis try of Information today.
 The extension will make the truce valid until Noon June 30. The arm- istice was scheduled to end at Noon Saturday.
 News of the extension came sim. ultaneously with the announcement that naval units of the Nati0nalist government bombarded the Corn- munist-held ports of Weihaiwei and Chefoo Wednesday morning.
 The naval action obviously was designed to cut Communist lines of communication between the ports of the Shantung Peninsula and Southern Manchuria across the Gulf of Chihli.

day. I know that this is not the best of all possible worlds, but l also know that the United States Is the best country on earth today and to date: I must realize the great heritage of being an American citizen and assay to preserve the fundamental ideals of my fore fathers.
 Citizenship in this country, as 1 mentioned before, is at once a great privilege and grave responsibility I must know the ideals advocated by my forefathers and must carry on those ideals. Our forefathers in the Declaration of Independence dedicated themselves to high pur- poses which have led this country so far along the paths of human progress.
 Perfect Union"
 They first dedicated themselves to form "a more perfect union." Some would separate our country into clasSes-political, social and econ- omic. It is my duty as a citizen to help stamp out this movement.
 Their next purpose was to "estab- fish justice" Justice is only admin istered under law based on equal ity, and it Is the duty of every American to see that justice pre- vailS.
 They set out "to insllre domestic tranquility" We have much to fear from dissension at home and 1t is necessary for us to reaffirm domestic tranquility in every sense of the word.
 That we have provided "for the common defense" Is evident, es- pecially during the past crisis.
 'To promote the general welfare" Lit is my duty to see to 1t that
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-06-21

America Is a land of opportunity, a land in which freedom, justice, and equality can be enjoyed by all, regardless of race, creed or color. l realize how. very privileged am to be an American, knowing full well that I can never fully com penSate for this heritage. I am endowed with certain inalienable rights, and consequently, have cer- tain duties toward my country. As an everyday American, it is my duty to my country to love 1t, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its Flag, to be loyal to its leaders, and to de- fend 1t against all its enemies. Any little thing I might be able to do for my country may seem inSigni- ficant, but if everyone does his part, these little things take on added power.
 A nation is like a football team. A good team is that way because it has superb teamwork. Every man has his part to play; each depends upon the other. Just as during the war we united to crush the menace of totalitarianism, now also, must we have solid teamwork dur ing this postwar period, lest some one take the ball away from us. The immortal Knute Rockne once said, Teamwork is a combination of self-sacrifice, brains and sweat Teamwork is working for America, not for self. There must be hon. est teamwork between government and business, labor and manage ment, Republican and Democrat, city and farm. A united people has been the backbone of our country and will continue to be for pos- terity. Our country is a nation set free from fear, hate and greed and 1t is nation that holds the se- cret of the world.

 Victim Established; l; Rites NeId

Through a birth certificate and Navy discharge papers found on the clothing, police yesterday Identified as Telesford J. Kustis, 26, of 6S Alder Street, the skeleton found in woods near the Waterbury Country Club yesterday morning.
 Kustis has been absent from home since April 21 of this year, Inspector Joseph R. Bendler said. It. William Foley and Sgt. Charles McWeeney said his parents did not report his absence due to the fact that he was in the habit of taking extended trips.
 After serving four years in the Navy, Kustis was discharged in l042. Police said he became Respondent because of i'll health and apparently took his life with a .38 caliber revolver found lying on his lap. Medical Examiner Dr. Harold F. Merrill said a bullet from the gun pierced the right temple.
 Veterans Made Discovery
 The skeleton was discovered by Clifford Lingis and Ralph Miscav- age, ex-servicemen, who were hik-
