Suppose, just for a minute, that this was a typical day in your life You got up and had breakfast with your family before going to your job or to the fields. Breakfast consisted of one egg each and a bowl of corn meal mush. As you drank your coffee, your wife told you that she had heard of some bacon available in the next town, 15 miles away. She was sending the oldest boy over there with the meat ration book, and if he got in line early enough there was a possibility that he could get a pound. You took your lunch to work with you. It consisted of a Thermos bottle of soup made from dried vegetables, with lots of water in it. With it you had a hard roll left over from dinner the night before. At work you heard a fellow mention that sugar was that being offered at the ration headquarters at 3 p-afternoon. You rushed to call your wife, but your daughter answered the phone and told you that she had already heard about it and had left to get in line. She asked you if you knew when the next ration books for milk would be issued, and you told her that it would probably be a couple of weeks. At dinner that night, you and your family sat down to a meal of mustard greens grown in your back-yar- d garden and a small pone of cornbread made with the last of the meal. Your son told you that someone had broken the electric fence around the garden again trying to get into it. You went to bed tired and more than a little hungry . . . This is how it might be if there was ever a food shortage in this country. If it sounds just consider a moment what will happen if our population growth is matched by a steady decrease in the number of farmers, driven out of squeeze. agriculture by the cost-pric- e This situation will be the logical result of any cheap food policy by. the government that seeks to keep farm prices down at the same time that an inflated economy has driven prices of other goods higher and higher. A cheap food program could well turn out to be the most expensive action ever taken by Washington. ... far-fetche- d, Louisiana F.B. News AT LAST ! A SUCCESSFUL ADMINISTRATION FARM PR06RAM the Edge of Angry (By Paul Harvey, Reprinted in The Congressional Record) There is a time to be calm and there is a time to get angry. There was a time when even Christ, His patience exhausted, found it necessary to storm into the temple with a short length of rope in one hand and start smashing up the furniture. I am saddened when anybody walking down any road in Mississippi is shot from ambush. But Im on the edge of angry when Misslssippis castigated nationwide for the misconduct of a Memphis, Tennessean. And when Time, Life, Newsweek, The New York Times, and TV hurl their editorial epithets at Mississippi for one shooting. And look the other way from a murder a day in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York. I am on the edge of angry when one man wounded in Mississippi crowds from the front pages and the nations conscience many thousand dead Americans in Vietnam. I am on the edge of angry when kookie college kids can demonstrate for peace at any price, but cant find time to shave and take a bath. I am on the edge of angry when a college professor can limelight himself by proclaiming God Is Dead!" While a free press ignores the greatest demonstrations of all, when 126 million Americans march - every week - to church! And when Government tells me I must scrifice the fruits of my labor to support those who do not labor. Im on the edge of angry when the tax man says I get an allowance of only $600 a year to rear my legitimate son. Yet the ADC welfare people would pay me $900 a year if he were an illegitimate one. I am on the edge of angry, realizing that every baby is born land of the into this one-tifree $1700 In debt. I am on the edge of angry when we make a big domestic to-d- o about saving on electricity and groceries in our White House while we dump millions into thankless foreign ports. When we regulate and regiment and over-ta- x and tyrannize our own countrymen while defending freedom" for foreigners. Im real close to the edge of angry when I hear our hypocritical breast beating over the urgent rights of one minority while we Ignore the Amish and the Indians. When we Judas -- kiss our sons goodbye because we own weapons adequate to end any war, yet lack the guts to use them. When we have everything going for us to create a Golden Age of arts, culture, science - and let unfriendly friends and friendly enemies siphon away this glorious opportunity. . . . There is a time to be calm and a time to get angry. Accordionist Tommy Walker of Davis County won third prize in the Junior Division of this year's Talent Find.
