IN 1914, one hour of factory labor

has ever been able to make. One
would naturally think that a grouD
of people with such an achievement
record would be the wealthiest
people in the land-but such is NOT
the case, for statistics further show
that the hourly income of people
working on the farm in 1850 was
69c, while that of factory workers
was S1.50-this includes railroad
workers, and $500 per hour for
persons in mining, to say nothing
OF the building trades. In 1850. the
average per capita annual income
of farmers was $804OO, compared
to the nOn-farmer per capita an
nual income of $1.546.OO. Never be-
fore have so few produced so much
for so many. with such a small
return for themselves.
The reports from the Asiatic
countries would indicate that food
is the best weapon with which to
fight Communism. In many of these
countries, 75-8026 of the people go
to bed hungry every night of their
lives, and do not know where the
next meal will come from, or if
there will be a next. Under these
conditions it is useless for us to
talk freedom, or to hope for a per-
manent peace. Hungry, or starving
people will always swap freedom
for food.
Realizing that conditions such as
these are grist for the Communist

President Truman. Unfortunately.
DR.. Bennett. his wife, and three
top aides were killed in a plane
accident near Teheran. on Decem-
ber 22nd; however. the ground
work of this organization had been
so thoroughly laid by DR.. Bennett
that this self-help program can and
will be carried on by those who
were inspired by him. Extension

the unfortunate people of the un-

more nearly self-suppOrting.

History
Tuesday is st. Swithin's day, and
to the people who like to bank on
legends that means something. The
good saint was a British monk who
became Bishop OF Winchester. He
was humble soul and stated that
he wanted to be buried outside
his cathedral so that the rain from
caves would run onto his grave.
That they did, and so did the rain.
When one of his successors thought
he ought to dig up the remains and
put them in a nice dry spot in the
cathedral sanctuary, it rained for
40 days, so they left St. Swithin
where he was. Ever since then
they say if it rains on st, Swithin's
day July 18TH, it will rain for the
next 40. What say !? Simply, il
it rains don't stand under the caves.
