Breed and The Wheut Surplus

In Charles e. Tracewell's column.
July IS. there are some sentimental
comments on the origin, OF graham
bread which begin with the words,
who remembers graham bread?"
Who indeed? But II Providence. in
inscrutable ways. had not turned us
into nation of sandwich eaters. who
would remember plain ordinary bread?
We pray daily for our portion OF
bread, but we are not in earnest. We
avoid bread to the point that we have
battling wheat surplus on our hands,
or rather in our warehouses. After
years of struggle with our surplus, we
have advanced no nearer solution
of the problem than to store 1t away
when we do not give it away. Only
Secretary Benson seems to have any
practical ideas on the subject, for which
he is not universally thanked! Among
his ideas Is this one: If we would con-
sent to. eat one additional slice Of bread
daily, that alone would take UP 100
million bushels of our surplus each
year.
A simple remedy. indeed. Why do We
not try it? Unhappily, we do not like
our commercial bread. and there is no
other. Some people think that our
bread is the worst in the world. We
wrap it up hygienically in paper, we
slice it in the bakery before delivery,
we dose it with a chemical to keep
it fresh" several days, we remove some
of the properties of the wheat. we put
in another chemical to make it CHASTITY
white. we go to the pains Gas our De-
partment of Agriculture reports) to
make our bread as ''tasteless as pos,
sible"-and still we do not like it.
Well, in Europe they like their bread.
They present it. as everybody ought to
know, as a long lean loaf with heav-
emily crust; they bake it on the hearth
and not in pan. They offer it in
various forms, running from the hard
roll to the crescents sprinkled with
seed. And what is the result? For one
thing, according to our Department
of Agriculture, the consumption of
flour in all farinaceous foods, in pounds
and per capita, during the year 1950-51,
ran as follows: United States ITO, Swift

Delinquency Solution?

May suggest possible solution of
the juvenile delinquency problem
Christianity?
OF value in this connection would be
the teaching of the Bible in our
schools, program severely limited by
the Supreme Court. Doubtless millions
of our people. probably a substantial
majority of them, would approve a
reversal or notification of that de-
cision, by constitutional amendment, if
necessary. In the meantime, parents,
churches, Sunday schools, Y.M.C.A.s,
Y.W.C.A.s, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts,
private schools, and individual Chris
tians can give our children instruction
in the fundamentals of the Gospel.
which is, of course, not a mere code
OF ethics nor rule of morality, but a
vital relationship to the Creator and
Ruler of the Universe.

We condemn Asia for doing what we
did in; l776. Are we in position to
judge other laations?, We ended our
Republic in the nineteenth century,

Herbert Hooyer's Contribution

want to thank The Star for pub
fishing the letter of "Old ReactionaryD
and his calling to our attention the
noble Qualities, leadership and sacri-
fees OF our honorable ex-President.
Herbert Hoover, as the present genera
ton might not otherwise be aware of
the qualities that made him and his
leadership truly great.
The newspaper Is one of our great
est mediums through which our present
generation will be able to make true
comparison and estimate of what con-
stituteS true democracy and great lead
ership, and also of contrasting qualities
and character of our past leaders. We
cannot afford to have leader of this
great democracy who has not the quail
ties and character that his leadership
merits.
Men like Herbert Hoover and our
present leader keep democracy alive.
A Faithful Reader.
Congratulations to "Old Reaction
ary' for his comprehensive statement
of the many fine things done by that
loyal American President, Herbert
Hoover. He Is one of our great Ameri-
cans and pray he may long be with
us to advise and help steer the ship of
state out of troubled waters.

@. How does one decide upon the
proper length for canoe?-E. Ply.
A. A general rule is that any canoe
under Is feet in length is essentially q
one-man canoe. or for two small per-
sons. The best general utility length
for two adults is Is feet, For every adj
ditional person an extra foot is needed.
Except for war canoes, 10 feet Is usually
taken as the maximum length for
canoe.

Niagara Falls Collapse

The collapse of Prospect Point does not
forecast any disastrous change in the ap-
pearance of Niagara Falls. Indeed, the face
of the American portion of the famous cas-
cade may be improved. The same observa-
ton might be made If the whole of Goat
Island were to be eroded away, thus uniting
the Canadian part of the great cataract
with the sector within the boundary of the
United States.
Gradual wearing away of the brink OF
the falls has been in progress for many
thousands of years, perhaps ever since the
retreat of the last glacier from the Great
LakeS-St Lawrence River area. At least
one gorge was cut back to the south from
Lake Ontario long before human eyes ever
saw the terrain. The rate OF recession al
ways has been slow-because of the purity
of the water pouring over the escarpment.
Flat-lying limestone is the material through
which the stream is, carving It's path. The
procedure is unceasing. There is no status
quo anywhere on earth, certainly not at
Niagara, where terrific forces are engaged.
What is happening in our own immedi-
ate neighborhood is subject to comparison.
The Great Falls of the Potomac once were
at Georgetown. They are moving up the
valley minute by minute, hour by hour, CEN
fury by century: but their progression is
literally slower than the proverbial snail's
pace The huge granite boulders which sur
prised Captain John Smith in 1908 remain
practically identical today, composed as
they are of even more sturdy stuff than the
rock bed of Niagara. But they are eroding
and eventually, millions of years hence. they
will disappear. No human concern about
their fate, however, is justified. Unless we
learn how to survive our own lethal inven-
lions, Niagara and the Potomac falls alike
will outlast the last Of US.
Sex education and home economics are
all very well, but lot Of marital troubles
can be traced to the schools failure to give
future wives good course in how to read

cause 1 don't know of any better

snapshooting outdoors at night IS
easy.
Outdoor activities at night
such as skating or tobogganning
parties in northern climes, the
beach parties in the balmy south
land-offer excellent picture
taking opportunities.
There is no difference between
taking flash pictures indoors and
taking them outdoors at night.
The same thing is important to
Observation-Disclosures. The light of
the flash falls off rapidly. These
small bulbs are powerful, but OBJ
viously cannot light a large area.
So watch your distance. Figure it
correctly by following the instruc-
tions packed with your film or the
chart on the f1ashbulb carton.
They'll give you the right answer

STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM FIOMEMAKERS

Remove Cellophane Wrapping
If you have new lampshades
wrapped in cellophane, be sure
to remove the wrapping. Cello
plane has tendency to shrink
with heat from the light bulb
and warp the shade as well as
creating almost permanent dirt
streaks on the lampshade. The
cellophane cover also reduces the
amount of light.
To quickly remove wrapping,
clip through cellophane at a
horizontal level. 1t can then
easily and quickly be lifted off
from the top and from the
bottom.
