Thinking It Through by BEN DOR

America is worried about food surpluses. In Europe and Asia, millions of people starve. In our own country, millions of people are i'll fed. But food subsidies are going out the window, and price ceilings are being taken off. Food prices are deliberately being allow. ed to go up, because the Depart ment of Agriculture is worried about food surpluses. Here's the story:
 The years of the war were also the years of the greatest food production this country has ever seen. Both the farmers and the weather did a fine job, with the result that food produc- tion was great.
 Surpluses
 The government bought a lot of food for the armed services. The people, having jobs, could afford the rest. Now, buying by both gov- ernment and the people is going down, and the Department of Agri- culture is worried about surpluses again.
 Of course, if we were actually going to have full employment, nobody would have to worry. City people could afford plenty of food and farm CTS would have high incomes instead of surpluses. But, evidently, that's not the way it's going to be, and the De- partment of Agriculture knows it.
 So, as the Department sees it, this is the time to begin taking off sub sidies. The subsidies were put in, you may remember, to encourage the farmers to grow food without stick ing the consumer for the extra cost of growing 1t. Now, the burden is being put on the consumer.
 The butter subsidy went out, and the price of butter went up 6c per pound. If the consumer can't pay 6c pound more than he paid dur ing the war, the farmer can just stop producing SO much milk. That's one way to prevent a sur plus; it may be a tough way as far as the consumer is concerned, but the Department of Agriculture isn't set up to worry about the consum- CT.
 Remove Ceilings Besides taking off subsidies, the De- partment is pressuring OPA to take ceilings off of lot of food prices. The Department knows that the prices would probably go up, but that's just what the Department wants to have happen. It wants to see you and me pay more for food now, because that will save the Department money later on when the surpluses begin.
 l find no pleasure in the fact that, during the next winter, work CTS will have to skimp on food in order to help the Department of Agriculture pay for its price SUD- port program. l much prefer to see the price ceilings stay on. If there are real surpluses here, let's share with the people abroad. Why do we keep on refusing to believe that there are people starving there for lack of the food we here call surpluses?

 A mother took her 5-year-old son to Cimbels to say hello to Santa Claus who, in his turn, asked: ''What would you like for Christ mas, Sonny?"
 "A bicycle, football, and a pair of roller skates," the youngster re- piled promptly.
 ''I'n certainly try to see that you get them," said Santa.
 Later, mother and son visited Wanamakers and stopped to see Santa. Again the same question, and same answer.
 'Are you going to be a good boy?" the Wanamaker Santa queried.
 The boy turned to his mother and said:

IT Doesn't Pay
To Argue With
Judges At Fuir

1t won't do an exhibitor at the
Union County Fair any good to
argue with a Judge or complain
about the manner in which a par
ticular show is handled. Bylaws
of the Fair provide:
An exhibitor raising any conten-
ton or engaging in any contro-
versy with judge or member in
charge, that may be construed by
the member in charge as influenc-
ing or interfering with the Judge
shall forfeit his right Cat once to
show length of time barred to be
decided by the Board" "
Any person however, who has a
legitimate complaint TO make may
do so. This is provided by another
bylaw which reads as follows:
"All complaints. protests and
objections made by any one to any
Judge, Manager of Department,
must be reduced to writing, sworn
to, signed by the person making
such, and presented to the Board
or Secretary on or before six o.
clock on the last day of the Fair
at which said exhibit is made"

DEPARTMENT SET
FOR DAIRY GOATS

Becoming more numerous and
popular each year are dairy goats,
and the Union County Fair is rec
ognizing that fact this year.
Last year, for the first time in
the Fairs history, or at least for
many, many years, an exhibit was
arranged for the goats.
Profiting by last years exper-
ience, the dairy goat display will
be much more complete and inter-
esting in every detail this year. A
full program has been worked out
by goat breeders, who have been
placed in complete charge of their
own department.
A competent judge has been OBJ
tained, and premiums will b e
awarded amounting to $136. Pro-
visions will be made for each of the
popular breeds of goats, and ade-
quate quarters will be established
for them.

man with his Marines, Max Chap
man with his large Rambouillets,
Dwight Lincoln, William Staley,
Nit Staley-all were breeders of
the fine wool sheep, the coarse
wool breds not so prominent in
those days.
The poultry show of those days
was equal to, or perhaps surpassed
the one of today and brings to
mind Memphis Myers who was a
large exhibitor. His stock was
shown nationally. l recall once that
the late Pat Obrien, of Raymond,
exhibited a rooster, supposed to
have been the original from which
the Democratic emblem was cop
led. If l am not mistaken some
pesky, sneaking Republican, under
the cover of night, pulled most of
the feathers from this proud foul.
The showing of home canned
fruits and vegetables was very
large then. l recall the exhibitors
such as Mrs. McFadden, from
Pharisburg; Mrs. John Neolp and
many others who were certainly
artists and all of their work was
completed in the kitchen of their
own homes.
