Prices are rising and the pos

cussed. Again the Importance of
maintaining the free market ex-
cept in the direst of war emer-
gencies is widely ignored. The mo-
ment that controls are substituted
for tie free market. scarcity be-
comes inevitable and most inn
portant the political and economic
system which makes representa-
tive government possible in this
country, begins to melt away be-
fore the fire of official "direc-
tiyes."
For example, meat prices, along
with everything else, have been
headed upward. But if supply and
demand are allowed to function
within the free market the situa-
ton will correct itself. In the
words of L. Fl. Simerl of the De-
partment of Agricultural Econom-
les, University of Illinois: Con
sumers themselves must accept
the responsibility for meat prices.
Farmers have cattle and hogs, and
they must sell them. Likewise the
packer must keep pushing the
meat out of his coolers. Retailers
too, must sell practically every
pound they buy, or losses will drive
them out of business. The house,
wives at the meat counters get
the meat at their own price. OF
course, not every individual house.
wife makes her own price, but
their combined actions certainly
do make the prices Just as
they have lifted prices to these
high levels, they can let them
drop they have done it be-
| fore.
Both employment and wage
frates are at or near peacetime
record highs, and both are certain
to go higher. With plenty of money
in their pockets, consumers will not
let meat prices drop very far. That
is not because they want to keep
prices of livestock up. It is simply
because they like meat and are able
and willing to pay for it,
Controls are basic departure

left to seek opportunity soon dis
t~inguished himself in the serv-
ice of his king, and was given a
barony of his own, which he en-
larged through courage and wis
dom until it became the greatest
in the land. He, too, became be-
loved and revered by the people
he ruled.
The son remaining at home,
basking in ease and security,
grew fat and indolent. After his
fathers death, he became in
creasingly demanding upon his
people to supply the wants of
his riotous living. Rumors of dis
sention grew.
The ancient foes of the bar
ony took heart, and war came.
He sought to rally his subjects
to the defense, but rich and Sc
cure living had robbed him of
the fire of leadership. Little by
little his estates crumbled and,
perhaps a fitting climax, he lost
his life at the hand of an op-
pressed and traitorous subject.
There is a lesson in this story
for America. Are we, too, trad
ing opportunity for security?
Are we failing to realize that for
every inch of gain in security,
there is the loss of a foot of op-
portunity.
We need a strong nation and
a strong people. But strength is
seldom found in security, es-
pecially the kind paid for by
others. The only security
worth having is that which is
carved out by the individual

in creating opportunities for self
and others.
Too much security saps the

security burden upon our ma

dustry-threatens to bog down
our entire economic structure.

alyze industry and enslave the
people.

The surplus of potatoes in re-
cent years has not resulted from
increased acreage but from bet
ter quality seed and intensive
use of fertilizers. In many parts
of the country an acre of ground
that produced one hundred bu-
shells of potatoes ten years ago
is today producing five hundred
bushels of potatoes. In fact, last
year some farmers in California
and Michigan produced over one
thousand, one hundred bushels of
potatoes to an acre. This seems
unbelievable, but is a positive
fact. In Ohio the average pro-
duction per acre was one hun
dred and siXty-five bushels, in
Idaho, two hundred and forty
bushels, in Maine, four hundred
and fifty bushels, and in Cali
fornia, four hundred and fifty
five bushels.
1t is easy to see where the sur
plus comes from and why volun-
tary marketing agreements are
being substituted for voluntary
acreage agreements. 1t is posi-
bic for a man to reduce his acre
age ten per cent and produce
twenty per cent more potatoes.

NEWS FOR
VETERANS

With the deadline of June 80,
1850 for filing applications APP
preaching, Director Leslie G..
Scrimger urged all eligible Ohio
World War II veterans and all
eligible next of kin of deceased
of Ohio World War II veterans
who have not filed for the Ohio
bonus to do so Immediately. The
deadline for filing applications is
set by the constitutional amend
ment providing for the payment
of the bonus and may only be
changed by a vote of the people.
The casualty lists of the army
and navy reveal many names of
deceased veterans whose next of
kin have not filed an application
for the bonus. The constitution
designates the eligible next of
kin as, surviving husband or
wife, children or child, or parents
or parent in the order named.
No other next of kin are ELI
gible.
The director said 1929, 342,-
50069 has been paid to 725,206
living veterans and 30,345 next
of kin of 21,482 deceased Ohio
veterans through the month of
February 1850. The average
amount paid to living veterans
is $305.00 and the average.
amount paid per claim to the
next of kin of deceased veterans
is $4,000.
At the present time approx
mately IS applications are re-
ceived daily from living veterans
and through the month of Feb,
1850, 49, 44 have been received.
In the same period, applications
have been received from the next

Some farm products such as
wheat and cotton can be stored
for an indefinite period of time.
Others, like potatoes, are perishz
able. AS a result of buying pota-
toes to support the price, the
government has on hand fifty
million bushels of potatoes which
it proposed TO dump Or destroy.
To me the idea of destroying
food is repulsive and eventually
would lead to the complete
breakdown of any farm pro-
gram. These potatoes are worth
eighty million dollars and could
not be distributed to welfare
agencies at home or abroad be-
cause the government is barred
from spending money for freight.
To take care of this surplus from
the l949 crop the House appro-
priated twenty million dollars
that the surplus might be sent
where needed and where it
would not jeopardize local mar
ketS.
In many areas of the country
the 1850 crop has already been
planted. Because of this, it was
too late for the imposition of
marketing quotas, but the new
mill provides that lower grades
of potatoes must be kept off the
market, if the secretary of ag-
riculture supports the price of
potatoes. Already IS percent of
the 1850 potato crop has been
placed under marketing agree
ments and orders. New provi-
sions of the law provide that
there will be no support provi-
sion for potatoes in 1851 unless
the growers agree to marketing
quotas, These provisions are ex-
pected to reduce, or eliminate,

MINING SUBSIDIES

After long debate the House
killed a bill to set up a board
for the assistance of mining
operations in the west. The pur-
pose was the exploration for mi
nerals and metals and the con-
tinuance of many mines that
were not able to produce at a
profit. The Senate inserted a pro-
vision that if any company dis
covered minerals in paying guam
titles, any gifts they received
from the federal government
were to be paid back. This was
eliminated from the bill when

was able to successfully defend
his estates, adding to his hold
ings with the years, until he be-
came SO rich and powerful that
none dared attack him. Peace
reigned throughout the land.
The baron had twin sons, and
he trained them in the virtues of
valor, justice and fairness. His
great aim vas that some day
they should rule the land in wis
dom and with justice.
On the day of their maturity
he called them to his side, not
ing with pleasure their strong
e~rectness and c~learness of eve
and to each he promised the full
fillment of their highest wish.
One son asked that he be al
lowed the security of peace and
ease at his fathers table. Now
that the strenuous training of his
youth was over, he wished to
quietly enjoy the fruit of the
land, unencumbered by discold
and strife.
The other son asked that he
be released from the custody of
his home and father to seek the
opportunity of adventure in liv-
ing as he chose. To that end he
was willing to yield all rights in
the parental estate to his
brother.
True to his promise, but with
sadness in his heart, the baron
granted his sons wishes.

To study our lessons and learn
In books that were old and

Where we gathered each day,

And each one had a heavy

Where l long to be once more,
With my dear teachers and

To live those days DER and

That stood there so fair and

Is now made into a dwelling,
Where you can see the lights
q. SO bright.
There are rooms inside and
children at play,
And pictures that hang on the
wall,
There are tables and chairs
and other things,
That make up a home for all.
In this little one room school
house,
The only one that's left,
There are curtains and blinds
at the windows,
And flowers that bloom in
spring.
In this little one room school
house,
Where the seats were old and
worn,
How I wish I could be back
in school,
With the ones that come each
morn.
When l see this one room
school house,
1t brings fond memories back
to me,
And l think of the ones that
went there,
But few are left now to see.
But those days are past, they,
have gone away,
And the one room school
house, too,
But the happiest days we ever
spent
Were our school days when
we were young.
