7"? F698 28 Oo eee ew LITTLE FOOD AND LITTLE CASH Good harvests,in the Northern Hem- isphere have removed the threat of starv- ation from millions of people through- out the world but food production, ac- cording to the Food and Agriculture Or- ganization of the United Nations, still lags far behind world needs. The report emphasizes the gap be- tween the living standards of rich countries and poor ones, The living standard of any people depends upon what they preduce. | The diet that is available-to these people depends. upon the money‘they make. It is not only food production that is below-the world’s need,s but the making of , money, as well. This moves us'to inquire why some peoples make more money than others? This is an intricate matter to determine. The glib explanation, of course, is that some countries have more natural re- sources, are more highly industrialized and enjoy certain advantages in connect- tion with world trade. This answer merely shoves the qu tion further back. There are people in the United States, where conditions are presumably the game, who make much more money than others. If anybody can give a quick answer to this discrepancy in earning power, beyond:ability of the individual plus environmental and hered- itary advantages, they should speak up. class matter ASSOCIA‘ PRESS i PE entitled to all credited eredited ‘in ir, here. and SPRCIAL NoTICR ~ notices, cards of thanks, resolutions ele,* wil be vary @ the rate Problems are not hard to solve if no- body wants to get more than they are entitled to.

THE ORACLE NO MIRACLE WORKER Advertising is not a miraculous tom te enable a merchant to sell shop- worn, out-of-date merchandise for the eaitie profit that he expected to receive newly arrived in sys- he place of business, tn fact, advertising is not a device to well anything that is not the most up-to- dete that the customer can secure for his teoréy. The merchant who sells goods knows that bis merchandise must meet mpetition, which means that it must be ae goed as anything offered to consumers whether the offering is through personal wvereation in his store or in the columns + hewepaper through advertising. Advertising doesn't increase the utili- of the articles advertised to any pros- peetive bayer, This is the many Hacks qpon advertising by those who do t wwaline that advertising is basis of modern sieomanship.

As part of the celebration, marked by a special cent Air Mail stamp, honor- ing the Wright Brothers, a letter will be sent from Kitty Hawk on a Coast Guard helicopter to Elizabeth City, North Car- olina. Here it will be taken by a jet plane which will carry it at 525 miles an hour to Dayton, Ohio, birthplace of the Wright brothers. It will be cancelled at Dayton and rushed back to Kill Devil Hill, while the celebration is underway. Aviation has come a long way in the forty-six years which have elapsed since the Wright Brothers put their flimsy craft into the air on Thursday, December 17th, 1903. The first flight, with Orville as pilot, was ten feet in the air and only 20 feet long. Later, on the same day, with Wilbur as pilot, the plane stayed in the air fifty-nine seconds and flew 852 feet. When news of the flight appeared in the newspapers of the nation, few people believed the report and the epo- chal achievement remained almost un- known for several years. SPECTACULAR GROWTH The principal argument used in favor of compulsory government health insur- ance is that there is no other way of pro- tecting most people against the exigencies of illness. Yet the spectacular growth of the voluntary health insurance plans in re- cent years refutes this idea completely. In the single year of 1948, the num- ber of persons covered by hospital insur- ance increased 16 per cent, and the num- surgical expense and ge jumped 30 per pectively, accord- ber protected by medical expense cove cent and 45 per cent ing to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. At the end of last year, near- ly 61,000,000 people had the hospital ex- pense protection, over 34,000,000 had sur- gical expens ind just under 13,000,000 had medical expense. These plans are gaining in member- ship by leaps and bounds.- The cost ta the earner and his family is low, and benefits are generally liberal. Being volun- tary, they have to offer a good buy for the money or people won't join, That wouldn’t be true of the government compulgory scheme. You'd pay for it whether ‘you wanted to or not, and you'd take the kind of service the politicians in charge decided upon. There'd be no such thing as freedom of choice. wage This country has a medical care prob- lem.
