Pea Can
BY DANA c. JENNINGS

A couple of months ago a soup company ran
a big ad, in a big magazine, that made me mad.
The ad boasted that the price of their soup today
is the same as in the time of high-button shoes
12c a can or Whereabouts. The ad said that, despite
evergrowing wages, taxes, etc, this low price was due
to more customers, to more efficient grocers and to their
improved methods Of making soup.
THE REASON the ad made me mad was that one of
the prime factors in being able to hold the price down
is the low and falling price Of raw materials-milk, butter,
tomatoes, chicken, potatoes, beans, etc.
Not a word in the ad about more efficient farmers
who have been able to stay in business by increasing
efficiency twice as fast as the non-farm industrial average.
Not a tear for the thousands of farm families, forced off
the land, who have sacrificed the way of life they love
on the altar of cheap soup.
NOR WAS a word said about that exploited American,
the migrant farm worker, who hoes and harvests most of
the vegetables going into those soups. =.
The worker who picked the tomatoes in that 12c can
of soup got about oneeighth cent. If the growers doubled
his wage to onefourth cent a can, he could just about
make a minimum living-if Nom and all the kids picked.
too. Obviously you can't add ~oneeighth cent to the price
you've got to add a full penny. So you give o~ne-eighth
cent to the picker and you've got seven-eighth cent to d.
vide up among grower, professor, distributor.
WE ASK GOD for a bountiful harvest, then cheat the
farmer who produces it and the harvester who harvests
it. Wonder what God thinks about that?

WHAT WE DO NOT want

Bishop Says
Farm Problem.
Our Challenge

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, MC)-
A bishop experienced in deal
ing with farm problems said
here that the present chal-
lenge to the Church in rural
areas is the urbanization and
secularization of farm COM
munities.
Bishop Leo A. Pursley OF
Fort Wayne-South Bend, Ind,
Episcopal moderator of the
National Catholic Rural Life
Conference. cited the absorp-
ton of the family farm by
large mechanical agricultural
operations.
Bishop Pursley. in his ban

Among his accomplishments
mentioned in the citation was
the Campaign for Christ in
Jasper County, described as
a pattern of real cooperation
among religious groups serv-
ing the countryside"
Msgr. l.. G. Ligutti is the
Director for international AT
fairs of the NCRLC. In the
past he has held the offices
of president, executive secre-
tary and executive director in
the Conference. He is known
and respected by rural people
of all faiths throughout the
world. He has helped organize
or promote the growth of
most Of the projects in which
Catholic and Protestant farm
ers work together.
THESE PROJECTS include
the American Country Life
Association, the Christian Ru.
raj Overseas Program, the Ma
tional Committee on Religion
and Rural Life and Courses
for Rural Pastors. In his pres

the Holy See TO FAC. he
has extensive contacts with
rural leaders of all n%ationali-
ties and creeds.

ers have been most cordial IN
their attitudes toward Catho-

Although he is a Protestant,

question by considering the
rural counties that reported
an increased population and
examining the reasons they
did.
First of all, there were peo-
pie who liked their home COM
munities enough to want to
stay there.
THEY HOPED THAT their
children, too, would remain
near their homes instead of
joining the 10 to 30 per cent
of the rural youth who 60
elsewhere to work and live af-
ter they have been raised and
educated.
There were also business
men who, with an eye to the
future. sought unselfishly to
save their places of business.
Pastors needed their parish
toner's to share the burden
and support of their churches
and schools, and they realized
that conditions in the rural
communities we're good for
family life.
These people cooperated to
build their future.
Secondly, there were 9th
ers who noted the attractive
ness of these towns and NOV
ed to live in them. Some were
district statesmen who had to
make a choice between a doz.
en- or so of the neighboring
towns.
OTHERS WHO MADE sim
liar decisions were retiring
farmers and bushes S m e n
That is about all it takes to
make small towns continue TO
thrive.
Finally, industrialists who
were seeking favorable sites
for their small factories de-
cided that they could have
flourishing establishments in
those types Of communities.
They hired some Of the youth
who otherwise would have
had to move away.
They employed a few of
the farmers who we're looking
for part-time work or, in some
cases, gave full-time employ
ment to farmers leaving the
land before they were ready
to retire.
1t usually takes only one
such energetic community IN
q county to enable that coun-
ty to hold its population.
While this happens, ii is good
for the local governments.
1t contributes to the con-
tinued success Of the business
men. Churches and schools
find it easier to be effective.
Many good rural homes are
also saved.
THIS is WHAT happened
in the rural counties that
showed an increased popula-
ton. 1t is really quite simple,
beginning with knowing, low
ing and serving God through
thoughtfuless Of our %nelghbor
who bears His image.
How is your own town do
ing?
Maybe you have wanted and
have been busy making yours
the kind of community that
factory people would want.

Choosing the proper lane
and staying in that lane-is
essential to safe driving in

In recent years much
has been written about
Catholic Protestant con-
flicts. Now the candi-
dacy of a Catholic for the
presidency has brought to
light additional tensions and
bigotries.
ON THE OTHER HAND.
Pope John XIII has repeat
edly extended a hand of
, friendship and good will TO
t. persons Of other faiths. Many
Protestant leaders are sin
cerely striving for a reunifica-
ton Of Christendom.
We think it appropriate,
therefore, to review the sig
nificant steps toward inter
faith cooperation already ac-
complished in many areas of
rural life.
Since The number of persons
in rural communities is rela-
lively limited, it would be
tragic if each religious group
were TO isolate itself from
neighbors of different faiths,
Such a policy would bring
about the failure Of commun-
ity undertakings.
PRECISELY BECAUSE the
number OF persons involved
is limited, rural people have
many face-to.face dealings
with neighbors. This helps
them understand and respect
one another. Bigotry, fear and
suspicion grow when people
know little about one another.
AS rural people live and
work together, they learn that
in some activities interfaith
cooperation is possible and
that in other activities il leads
only to disorder and weaken
ing Of faith.
DURING THE PAST four
decades rural people in the
United States have been bless
cd with religious leaders of
uncommon wisdom, charity
and tolerance. These leaders
have avoided compromise OF
doctrine and cooperation in
public worship and have pur-
sued cooperation in projects
which advance the spiritual
and temporal welfare of COM
munlties as a whole. Most of
the pioneers in the Catholic
rural life movement have been
outstanding in this regard.
Let us mention three of these
pioneers.
Msgr. George ]. Hildner of
ST, Johns Church, Gildehaus,
Mo, resolved at the beginning
Of his rural pastorate to be
all things to all men. He
worked with Protestant and
Catholic farmers to promote
soil conservation, TO build lev.
ees on the Mississippi River
and TO organize marketing
cooperatives. In 1943 the Gov
ernor of Missouri gave him
the title, Master Conserva.

Alaska Court System
Continues Loosing Ground
With Increased Backlog

ANCHORAGE, lR = The back
log of cases pending before all
of Alaska's courts-Supreme, Su-
perior and Observation-Disclosures
by 127 during the month of Sep
TENDER, new court report dis
closed today.
Cases pending before all courts
at the start of the month totalled
1864. There were 1,494 new cases
filed and 1867 disposed of, leaV-
ing 5,791 pending at the end of
the month.
Court Administrator David L.
Luce said in a statement accom-
panying the September report,
however, that the backlog is in
some respects more theoretical
than real"
Luce explained that the statis-
tics issued by his office include
many cases which may never be
brought to trial by the itigants.
Luce said the increase in the
overall court system backlog came
from the Magistrates courts. He
said Magistrates courts inherited
$40 cases from the territorial
courts and had pending on Sept.
80 a total of 4,603 cases, even
though the Magistrates courts
had settled 4,625 cases since going
into business.
Luce attributed the increase to
three things, an increase in the
jurisdiction of Magistrates courts
from $1,000 to $4,000; the knowl-
edge that these courts are now
handling cases without long delay;
and increased activity generally
in busienss and other endeavors
in the state.

Candidates Unable To
Agree on 5th Debate

WASHINGTON, "A Demo-
cratic official asserted today the
presidential candidates have been
unable to agree on having a
fifth television debate. He ac-
cused Vice President Nixon of ap-
parently not acting in good faith.
J. Leonard Reinsch, the John
F. Kennedy official who has been
negotiating on the debate, added
that apparently Nixon sis not
willing to meet Sen. Kennedy
again face to face in the final
stages of this crucial campaign"
Reinsch made the statements
in a telegram to all of the net
works. He said Kennedy still
stands willing to debate with
Nixon, despite the deadlock that
has developed.
Reinsch has been meeting per-
iodically since Monday with Fred
Scribner, Undersecretary of the
Treasury and Nixon's spokesman
in the debate negotiations.
