The Empty Pantry

Much has been written during the past few years
concerning the worlds food problem Many causes
have been assigned to II and many answers gwen,
usually very radical causes and answers.
Each cause and its answer has its own little band
of crusaders who drum their solution so loudly that
they have convinced ordinarily soundthinking peo-
Pile and converted them drastic, frightening plan
of action
The fanatics state the problem differently but
arrive AZ the same conclusion Some say there are
too many people in the world Others say that there
is not enough food Both have jumped to their con
elusion because il the easiest to arrive at And
they both have arrived at the same frightening an
swer: Reduce the worlds population to fit the food
supply.
The idiotic solution OF reducing the worlds pop
ulation by restricting. unnaturally. the number Of
births has been pushed as cure all Tor everything
from wars and depressions to Communism
The idea OF growing more food, and of seeing
10 its wider and proper distribution is too simple
an answer TO interest these mighty minds, They
seem dedicated 10 the principle that only something
shockingly unnatural will work. And so, instead
of studying ways and means of FILLING the worlds
larder with food they advocate cutting the size
OF the family TO fit the pantry.
Now could IL be that this problem has always been
with the world and that there always was answer,
answer that has now been forgotten2 Could it
be that the problem seems more pressing be-
cause the answer has been neglected so long2
In the ages OF Faith men knew the answer; to
work as if everything depended on their labors and
pray, knowing that il depends ultimately on God.
The Rogation days which fall on Monday Tues
day and Wednesday of next week we're the answer
TO the problem in ages past We still have those days
days set aside 10 pray Gods blessing on the crops
and TO ask Him to insure a bountiful and adequate
harvest.
delightful experiment would be to see the
whole world return to this ancient ritual designed
to make the pantry fit the family.

During the past few years
Austria has become, against her
will, the object of dispute in the
cold war. Unfortunately, the
Federal Capital of Vienna lies
well inside the Russian Zone,
and no prospect would be more
enticing to the communists than
to incorporate Austria into her
system of satellite states. But the
Austrian people have never been
and never will be communists.
Their history and culture are
too closely interviewer with that
of the free nations, and their
love of liberty too great for them
to yield without resistance. We
owe it to the introduction of the
Marshal Plan, the most generous
and boldest program of assist
ance ever recorded in history,
that our people have been able
to maintain the struggle against
communism, which has now been
raging for six and a half years.
We must master the economic
and political problems which be-
set us, for on the outcome there
of depends the life or death of
our homeland and our people.
In Austria there is neither
East nor West, North nor South,
up or down; either all of us stay
alive or we will all perish to-
gether in servitude.
We must continue to work and
fight for a free and united

An Inspiring Example

party retained its majority in the
1949 elections and DR.. Figl was
again chosen to head the admin
istration.
A country, occupied, like Aus
tria, by four different powers,
faces problems that Americans
cannot fully appreciate. Every
one understands, however, that
any progress under such condi-
tionS is tedious and that really
outstanding advances are more
or less phenomenal. That is why
so many observers have marvel
ed that Austria could make such
salutary gains.
For example, in three years
(1948 to 195D, with the aid of
the American European Recov-
cry Plan, Austria increased its
industrial production 10l.7 per
cent, its industrial productivity
production per person employ
ed) 63.4 per cent, its agricultural
production some so per cent,
and its export volume 221 per
cent. The gross national product
rose by rs per cent between l948
and 1850, and by 1949 prices
reached 102 per cent of the 1887
level.
Perhaps no one has captured
the true picture of Austria's
hard problem and the shining
courage of its people better than
its Catholic Chancellor, DR.. Figl.

servative statute which even
Messrs. Fairless, Stephens and
Randall would undoubtedly hes
itate to characterize as being
preiudiced in favor of the un-
ions.
p Approximately 50 per cent
the United Steelworkers' con
tracts-with fabricating compan-
les and with a few of the basic
steel producers-provide for the
union shop. AS matter of fact,
the very companies in basic
steel which are now arguing that
the union shop is un-American
have already granted it to tens
of thousands of their own EN-
ployees under some of their sub
sidiary contracts.
- Thousands of other groups in
all sorts of industries are now
operating under union shop con-
tracts, to the mutual satisfac-
tion of labor and management
alike. The Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics recently completed a sur
vey of 2,651 agreements cover
ing more than five million work
ers. Sixty-one per cent of those
contracts had union shop
clauses.
~ Union shop elections under
the provisions of the Taft-Hart-
ley Act have demonstrated be-
yond any possibility of doubt
that the overwhelming majority
of the workers of the United
States-for whose liberties the
steel industry has belatedly be-.
come so solicitous-are enthusi-
astically in favor of the union
shop.
81 A significant number-yery
probably the majority-of labor
relations experts and labor eco
nomists are in favor of the union
shop as a stabilizing factor in
industrial relations.

hypocrisy" are used advisedly
and without apologies. They are
the only words that accurately
describe the attitude of an in
duStry which seems to have de-
cided-Abraham Lincoln to the
contrary notwithstanding - that
il is possible to fool all of the
people all of the time. at least
on this one issue of the union
shop.
The steel industry is complete
ly mistaken. Lincoln knew what
he was talking about. You can't
fool all of the PEOPLE all of the
time on the issue of the union
shop even If you have the tacit
support of a suspiciously large
majority OF American newspa-
pers. You can't do it for the
obvious reason, among others
that these very same newspa-
pers at one time or another
have provided the American peo-
pie with enough information on
the subject of the union shop

@. What are the induIgenees
of the rosary?
A. According to the Raccolta,
"the faithful, whenever they re-
cite third part of the Rosary
with devotion may gain an indul-
gence of 5 years" and ''in COM
pany with others, whether in
public or in private of 10
years" There is also a twice
monthly plenary indulgence for
the family rosary, and a plenary
indulgence for recitation in the
presence of the Blessed Sacra-
ment. In addition there are 9TH
er indulgences according to the
blessing impaired to the beads,
such as that by st. Dominic's Or
der Opp or by priests with fac
ulties to give the Crosier or Brid-
getine indulgences.
Q. A neighbor lady has me
stopped. She said, Jesus told
as to keep holy the seventh day
but because the Pope changed
it Catholics listen to him rather
than TO Jesus"
A. AS a moral law the Third
Commandment un C ha gingly
commands men to set aside some
time for God publicly as well as
privately. The Old Testament,
however, was fulfilled by the
New and many particular legal
and ceremonial points were
changed. The Apostles were sent
by Christ with His authority and
power to teach the moral law
and bring supernatural life and
He expected them to make de-
cisions: whatever you bind on
earth shall be bound also in
heaven; and whatever you loose
on earth shall be loosed also in
heaven" (Mt. 1919 "All power
in heaven and on earth has been
given to me. Go, therefore, and
make disciples of all nations"
(Mt. 28:18) He said to the Apos-
ties, and to st. Peter, "And /
will give thee the keys of the
kingdom of heaven; and what
ever thou shalt bind on earth
shall be bound in heaven, and
whatever thou shalt loose on
earth shall be loosed in heaven"
Mt. 1919. On the very point of
this question He said, ''The Son
of Man is Lord even of the Sab
bath" and so His representatives
on earth, the Apostles and st.
Peter substituted the first day
of the week, Sunday for the sew
enth to commemorate the Resur-
rection of Christ instead of the
creation of the world. We find

The hip flaskS long ago lost their

was half-god; 1t has gone.

half-gods have toppled, too, in
their deserted shrines.
The forties were the period of
wars from which, it was fondly
believed, some sort of strong
world government would emerge
to render future wars impossible.
The mere surrender of patriot

was to be the sovereign remedy
of our times. And now that half
god also has left the hearts of
men.

Each half-god as he toppled
left some thousands of follow

handspring of their actions and
deprived of the vision that had
given meaning to their days. Not
all of them have had the resil-
ency to recover from the shock:
every banner that falls drags
some victims with it into the
dust. There are heartbroken men
and women in the world today
who cannot hope again be-
cause the one dream to which
they gave their hearts has fail
ed. They are the widowed mono
gamists of temporal crusades.
But not all disappointed dream
ers remain downhearted in de-
spair. The buoyancy of the hui
man heart is such that when one

WASHINGTON - The pres
ence in this country of DR.. Leo

ernment should be an inspiration
to patriotic Americans.
As Chancellor of Austria, DR..
Figl has given the world an ex-
ample of courage and statesman
ship which it can we'll use at
this time. Head of a state bur
dened by a four-power occupa-
ti0n for more than seven years,
and denied the assurances of a
state treaty because of Soviet
intransigence, the Austrian
Chancellor has nevertheless led
his country to notable progress
toward recovery.
Once the hub of great en-
pire, Austria today embraces on
ly a little more than $4,000
square miles, being somewhat
larger than the State of Maine.
II has a total population of
6,9l8,959 persons, "a per cent of
whom are Catholics. About 73
per cent of the country is classi-
fled as mountainous.
In the first postwar election
in November, 1945, the Austrian
Peoples Party Tin some ways the
successor of the pre-war Chris
tian Social Party) polled 49,8 per
cent of all the votes and thus
became Austria's strongest sin

Suit Charges Radioactive Health Tonic Brings On Justification of Body

CHILLICOTHE, O., (P) - Miss Blanche Hardyman, 35, of Gin cinnati has filed a $251,27 dam age suit against a man she claims gave her a passion stimulant in stead of a health tonic that may harden some of her body tissues into bone.
 The Common Pleas suit alleges Walter Haberer assaulted" her by administering a radioactive" salt solution to her several times between July 1 and Aug. 2, 1851.
 Miss Hardyman claims Haberer said the "chloradium" solution would restore her vitality.
 Instead she alleges her health was injured permanently and she was in danger of justification through radium poisoning.

Noted Flyer Discusses
Need For Air Facilities

Mr., Ralph Young, member of
the Ohio aviation board, Colum-
bus, addressed the Caldwell
Lions club at their regular
luncheon held Wednesday even
ing, May %, in Henry'S restaur-
ant.
Young appeared in the interest
of aviation, with the thought in
mind that local flying enthusiasts
would in the immediate future
promote the construction of a
small landing field near Cald-
well. Recent discussions among
former service flyers have given
added impetus to the cause and
it was deemed advisable to bring
to the community an expert in
this matter strictly in an advis-
ory capacity
The need for a landing field
near Caldwell is becoming more
apparent Young, who is past
president of the Ohio Flying
Farmers, related his experiences
in assisting local groups in
getting program underway
such as is being considered for
Caldwell.
The use of the airplane is
quite varied, and it is common
practice for the state to use the
plane in spraying an area where
an outbreak of a disease is i'm
minent. Even in the industrial
world and in the conservation
field, aviation is considered the
more accepted mode of travel.
