Prisoners Of Hops
But Is there hope? Here opinions
differ. Some Of those who are most
kecnly certain that the world Is In
a bad way. are sadly convinced
that 1t will not grow better II
can't. The ancient Greeks, and
many other races besides thought
OF history as going around in cir
Giles. The world would go doWnhill
and up by turns. around and around
the wheel Of fate. No disaster. and
no Improvement, would ever Be
permanent
But tho Jews were peculiar
people. They were peculiar among
other things for their hope. Alone
among the ancient peoples OF the
world, the Hebrews thought Of his
tory not as circle but as q straight
line, an arrow with point, aimed
and going somewhere. II ancient
men thought Of a Golden Age, they
placed It in the far past. The Jews
dreamed OF Golden Age. too. but
theirs was never in the past.
This hope. as centuries went on.
became centered in one Deliverer
to come They called him by var
ious names: Messiah, Son Of DAVID,
Gods Chosen One, the Rescuer or
Savior. 1t is clear from the stories
Luke tells that even very old
people like Anna and Simeon lived
in hope that they might see the
coming Of the New Age Somehow
when they saw the baby Jesus they
felt sure that the great Hope was
now becoming real, at last. I'm

might have been; but always AZ

two fundamental errors of public approach
to the appeal.
Statistics Of past giving Indicate Cd
that too few persons Of our l5,00O-odd pop
ulation contribute, and GU that the size Of
numerous gifts are far from commensurate
with the number Of agencies helped, and
their annual fund needs
Improving either Of these two dcfectons
by even modest extent would insure the
resounding 'over-the-top' verdict the Prince
Edward Community Chest merits
Look at the agencies served. They consti-

quency and ignorance The number Of the

Lastly, look at your gift, or your refusal
to participate at all If you haven't been
giving, can you truthfuly measure the
Chests service against the things that pull
us down and still remain unmoved?
If you have given and intend to do so in
the drive now starting for 1858, has it been
IN proportion to IL appeals in one? Have
they been gifts of relatively meager proper
tlons when the Chests needs branch out to
all areas, all people and numerous wants?
We believe that conscientious study of
the Chests services, and a truthful balanc-

bring US the verdict We want, all Of US:

Eleven One

DOR four years the Prince Edward County
Community Chest campaign has fallen
short of its goal by from $500 to $4,000. A
fifth failure may sound the death knell for
this last semblance Of a united fund effort.
That opinion is being voiced now in pub
lie, and there is basis for it. The Chests
participating agencies, watching independ
ent, outside the-Chest drives succeed, may
we'll decide they will fare better on their
own, too.
Busy executives, called on to direct the
effort, find it more difficult to associate
their names and efforts with losing cause.
Solicitors must carry with them the burden
of four years of defeatism. 1t is difficult to
present enthusiastically cause which isn't
ringing the bell.
AS distastefu a phase of this failure as
any is that which works to throw unfavor-
able light on US. Prince Edward? Why
those folks haven't succeeded in four
straight years. What associations of COM
pacency. dsinterest. unconcern must out
siders pin on us when discussing our giving.
Does the county community of the Chest
merit such unfavorable attention? Decided
~ not. If one adds up the giving here for
charitable, religious, recreation, health and
similar purposes for the past four years
the total is an astonishing accumulation of
generosity and Christian charity.
When then should the Chest be this island
Of failure in sea Of over-the-top successes
elsewhere among US? 1t lies, we believe, in

Nevertheless, and despite all the
disappointments and misunder-

Christians no longer expect to sec

all Christians do live by hope That
Christ will reign is a hope and
faith that will not down. That in
the long run his cause will con-

mistaken the Jews Of Jesus time
were, in their Interpretation Of

Christian interpretations have been
smashed by history's matter-of-
factness. But we shall not be

Farm Union Chairman Urges Favorable
Vote June 20 On Wheat Referendum

until such time as these programs
can be rebuilt.
This referendum is important to
all farmers as well as to wheat farm
ers. 1t is also important to city peo-
pie. The defeat of the referendum
will not reduce the price of bread
to consumers but it will reduce the
number of farm dollars that find their
way to the cash registers on Main
street." he declared.
ANY owner, tenant and ofner per-
son with a share in a 1859 wheat
crop of Is acres or more is eligible
to vote in the referendum on June
20. This means wives or others who
are joint owners or tenants. Towns
people who own farms operated by
tenants or have other interests in
wheat crops are eligible to vote. Ev-
eryone who is eligible to vote should
do so.

"When farmers vote in the wheat
referendum Friday, June 20, they
will be choosing between one dollar
a bushel and $181 a bushel for wheat
in 1885," according to Joseph W..
FIGHTER, Oxford, Ohio, chairman of
the Ohio Farmers Union.
"The choice is limiting production
and getting a support price of $1.81
bushel or throwing away all pro-
duction limitations and allowing
wheat to drop to a dollar bushel
next year." Mr.. FIGHTER declares. He
explained that marketing experts pre-
dict that wheat will sell for one dol
lar bushel or less next year if the
referendum fails to receive a "yeS"
vote by two-thirds of the farmers vot-
ing on June 20.
If two-thirds of the farmers voting
in the referendum cast Eyes" vote
in favor of marketing quotas and re1
stricting the national wheat acreage
to 55 million acres, the price support
on next years wheat crop will be
$1.81 a bushel. If two-thirds of those
voting fail to vote "yes," they will
put an end to the price support pro-
gram for wheat and probably for all
other farm commodities. That's the
big decision that wheat farmers will
be called on to make on June 20.
The defeat of the referendum would
set off a chain of economic and po-
litical reactions that would not only
wreck the existing wheat price pro-
gram, but it would weaken the en-
tire corn and feed-grain program and
endanger the continuation of the milk
and butterfat and tobacco price pro-
grams as well, FIGHTER predicts.
1.-THE defeat of the referendum
would be interpreted as vote against
efforts to improve farm income and
price support programs. On the other
hand, by "yes" vote we can show
our determination to save what re-
mains of the price support programs
