PLAIN TALKI
REPORT ON A FUNERAL
BY Alfred segal

This is about a funeral and Of

self more and more often at
Wells which is the favoxite fun
eral place in our community: to
say goodbye to contemporaries.
So one Sunday recently I was
there for the funeral of one
whom the rabbi described COM
passionately as a lonely man. He
was a man who had no talent
at all making for friends and
with a considerable talent to re.
pei those who wanted to be
friendly.
The few at his funeral were
there because they didn't like
the idea Of leaving him altogeth-
er alone even to his last moment
on earth. They tried to make a
bit Of a crowd for him at his fun
eral. They were about ten.
The next Sunday I was back
at Wells for the funeral of one
I had gone to school with. The
place was packed with people
who had come to show their eS-
TEEN for Sam Oscherwitz. (You
will recognize the name if you
are privileged to know Oscher-

far and wide into the world from

The rabbi was informing the Or
thodox service for the dead but
old-timers were letting their
minds stray from the solemn
words to look around among the
crowd This was like a pag-

scholars who studied Talmud in

Food Notes

Food Notes
Enriched corn meal is good food
made better. Encourage your
miller to enrich his meal. En-
riching adds thiamine, riboflavin,
niacin, iron and calcium OF the
meal.
Thiamine is needed for normal
functioning of the nerves, ribofla-
vim helps keep eyes, mouth and
skin healthy. Niacin helps pre-
vent pellagra. Iron builds red
blood and calcium helps build
strong bones and sound teeth.
Enriching corn meal adds only
4 cents a hundred pounds to the
cost of the meal. There is no.
where else that you can get so
much more for so little. Proper
diet and enriched corn meal are
the best ways to get your needed
vitamins.

While farmers generally recog-
nize that their county insurance
program cannot be operated and
developed on a sound basis un-
less the protection is restricted
TO unavoidable losses, some farm
ers apparently do not understand
how this applies to insect damage.
I'VE want every policyholder to
understand just exactly how pro-
lection is provided against insect
damage and why it is essential
that avoidable insect damage be
taken into consideration in max
ing indemnity payments just the
same as any other avoidable
cause of loss such as neglect or
some other poor farming practice.
We are confident that most of
those who understand how this
must be handled will not only
regard it as a reasonable policy
but also will see that it protects
progressive farmers against the
possibility of their future prem
iums being increased due to pay
ment of losses that could have
been avoided by the policyhold-
err"
The extent to which insect dam
age was avoidable can De deter
mined from the difference in pro-
duction obtained by farmers who
did poison and those who did not.
If conditions are such that con-
troll measures appear necessary
to produce good crop, the pro-
ducer who poisons and makes a |
good crop will not want the prem
iums which he has paid for pro-
lection against unavoidable loss
used to pay a loss on his neighbor
farm which resulted from his
failure to poison to control the
insect threat. 1t is recognized |
that under unusual conditions in
some years and areas poisoning
may be ineffective. Under such
conditions there would be no
available loss due to insect dam
age whether the policyholder
poisoned or didn't.
The State Agricultural College
collects information regarding the
degree of infestation in the diff
ferent areas and issues periodical
ly advice concerning the need for
poisoning, the proper methods
and materials to use and the &C.
onomic soundness of this increase
n operating costs. This enables
Ill producers to be aware of
when conditions are such that
may be substantially
increased by proper control meas
Tres. If such control measures
,rove effective on the farms
where they are carried out, OBJ
1iously the farmer who does not
POISON may suffer some loss due
o an avoidable cause which will
equire an adjustment in the
of indemnity that would \
re due if the entire loss was due
o unavoidable causes.
Actually, the policy that must
re followed under the county
rogram regarding the extent to
Jhich insect damage is avoidabe
) right in line with what most
aggressive farmers would do un-
er the circumstances" Mr.. Trot-
IAN explained. "This means that ,
this policy is not strictly fol-
owed the progressive farmers
hight be penalized through high
r premiums resulting from, the
osses paid policyholders who did
OF follow needed control meas
res. The actual loss experience /,
f our county program will de-
armine whether rates need to be
increased or can be lowered"

Report From
Washington
BY U. S. Senator Herbert R. O,Conor

Controls continue to be one of the
highly controversial topics in the
Congress. With next Tuesday the
expiration date for the 30-day, ex-
tension under which controls are
now being administered, the con-
ferences scheduled to begin on We'd
nesday, between Senate and House
Conferees, will have great influence,
many believe, upon the economic
situation of the great masses of our
people during the months and pos
sibly years ahead.
The lull in and possible end of
hostilities in Korea have, for the
moment at least, dulled the edge of
public interest in price controls, and
the slow-up in buying of automo-
biles, television sets and many other
items has apparently caused some
to lose interest in efforts to keen
prices, wages and rents in check.
1t must be borne in mind, how
ever, that the situation in the months
ahead will be radically different than
it has been up to now, a difference
that will affect greatly both the sup
ply of consumer products and the
prices at which they will be avail
able.
The national economy has not be-
gun to feel the full impact of the
| defense effort which not only will
absorb a vast amount of available
materials, thus reducing supplies
for civilian use, but will pour into
circulation vastly increased spend
ing power, to bid for the lesser
amount of products on the shelves
of the stores of the country.
Under the circumstances, many
contend it would be unwise in the
extreme to deny authority to apply
the brakes should the economic sit
uation get out of control, as il
could we'll do in the not too distant
future, with the factors of lessenec
production and higher spending OPP.

a special agent in the Census
Bureaus Division of Agriculture.
Later he was in charge of Transport
tation research for the Bureau of

Department of Agriculture. He al
so worked as an agricultural econ
omist with the u. S. Chamber of
Commerce.
The appointment of J. w. Pou as
head of the Dairy Department at the
University of Maryland was an
nounced today by DR.. Gordon M.
Cairns, Dean of Agriculture. Mr.
Pou has been Extension dairyman

on.
Second-the Braves pitching staff
has completed more games than any
other team in the league.
Third-although Dutch is working
with only six pitchers, the Braves
were-as this was written, Wednes-
day morning leading the league by
six full games.
For my part I'll take the Braves
just as they are, from the manager
down to the bat boy, and stack them
up against any team that has repre-
scented Hagerstown in the Interstate
League.
AS of Wednesday morning, we still
have 48 games to play and although,
anything can happen from here on
out, 1 still believe firmly that the
Braves will finish on top and one of
the reasons for my belief is, that we
have team that Dutch has nodded
into a happy, scrappy bunch that
just doesn't know what it means to
be licked. I'll take that sort of a
team any day in the week, over a
group of individual stars who are
playing more for self glory than for
the team and the community they
represent.

tanning quotations from the Dec

# Russian Bu|dup and Denounces Critics on Home Front

UNITED States are going forward
toward peace.
I wish some of these doubters
and defeatists would come out
here to Detroit and look around.
I would like them to look at these
great factories, and this industrial
power, and see here the answer of
la free people to tyranny n any
shape or form. And l would like
to ask them TO look beyond the
machines of Detroit-to the peo-
pie who make up this great city.
Here are men and women from
every part of our country, and
from dozens of nations Throughout
the world, working together as
only free people can work. IN this
great American city, the ultimate
power lies with the people. The
political power lies with the peo-
pie and the economic power lies
with the people.
This is America, and in America
working men and women have a
voice in their deStinies-in their
conditions of work and in the
course their country shall follow.
There are many of you who
trace your origins to Poland or
Hungary or other countries now
behind the Iron Curtain. You
know how the people of those
countries are suffering today. You
know what has happened to their
churches, and their schools and
their trade unions, to their homes
and their farms.
You can be sure that you are
remembered in those countries
now under the yoke of slavery.
You can be sure that the people
there look to you-and to all of
us-aS examples of what freedom
means. and as source of hope
for better lives for themselves.
! Here in this city, and through
out America, we have a great
task to perform. 1t is up to us,
acting together as free men, to
build up our defenSes against ag-
gression, to inspire and help other
free men to defend themselves
against tyranny, to give hope and
courage to those who are now op-
pressed. to open the way to a bet
ter day for the world-a day OF
peace and security and freedom.
. On this anniversary of the be-
ginning of one of the greatest
American cities, let us all pledge
ourselves anew to carry out this
task, with determination, and with
faith in God who alone can give
us the will and courage to see it
through.
