Of course, that was a couple of centuries before Karl Marx began €x- pounding his theory of “From each accord- ing to his ability, to each according to his needs,” which gave bitth to the tnodern brand of | coramunism—and m. Nevertheless, the economic system of the Massachusetts colony was’ communistic just the same. The colonists, according to theit Gov- ernor Bradford, raised their crops and stored them together and set up a ration+ ing plan whereby each would share “ac- cording to his needs.” But as is the weak- ness of all planned economies, human na- ture just doesn’t work that way. The less ambitious members complained that they were physically unable to do their share of work in tending ahd harvesting the crops. Theft from each other was not un- common. Consequently misery and famine prevailed. Finally in 1628, every family was as- signed its own plot of ground on which to raise its own food. This “if you don’t work, you don’t eat” policy immediately proved successful. Concluded Governor Bradford: “By this time harvest was come, and instead of famine, now God gave them plentie, and the face of things was changed to the re- joysing of the hearts of many, for which they blessed God. And the effect of their particular (private) planting was — well seen, for all had, one way and another, pretty well to bring the year about, and some of the abler sorte and more indus- trious had to spare, and sell to others, so as any general want or famine hath not been amongst them since to this day.” Since the time of the Pilgrims, many other communal experiments have been at- tempted in this and other countries. All have failed for the same reason. Human nature requires incentive and promise of individual opportunity to ‘progress. With- out these things progress goes into reverse. Only two alternatives then remain. The first, as the Pilgrims learned the hard way, is to return to the free enterprise system, + the other calls for an-absolute dictatorship wherein all personal freedom is necessar- ily relegated to the Government in power as now exists in Russia. Despite this lesson, there are those in this,country today who continue to ad- vocate the abandonment of our free oppor- ‘tunity economy in favor of State socialism. We are heading towards that road now. Once on it there can be no turning back. Few resign from paying jobs. The weather continues to furnish con- versation for those who have nothing more important to talk about. While the Hollywood set may add to the gaiety of the nation there are no rea- sons why the nation couldn’t get along without the movie boulevard. BODY BUILDER What is meat? The obvious answer is that it is a food which is particularly ap- petizing to the great majority of people. But meat, according to scientific dis- coveries which have been made largely in the past 15 years, is more than that. It is a splendid builder of health and energy. Proteins are now known to be the building blocks of the body. They renew the living cells in myuscles, tissue and blood. The most valuable protein foods— which are meat, poultry, milk, eggs and fish—contain amino acids. There are 23 different amino acids, of which ten are absolutely éssential to human health. All ten of therfi are found in meat. Meat also contains many other dietically valuable elements—including the newly discovered vitamin B-12 that is found only in animal products. For centuries people have eaten vast quantities of mieat just because they hked it, not knowing its special virtues from the health standpoint. When Nature gave the human race its appetite for meat, she knew what she was doing! She made the most valuable of foods the most palatable. On the economic side; meat consti- tutes a great industry, which provides agriculture with its largest single source of cash income. It is growing industry, and the experts forecast substantial increases in meat production and ¢onsumption dur- ing the coming years. Allin all, it is a major asset to the nation.

A new and cheap miracle cure for arthritis is reported as scien- tists continue the dogged battle to prolong the life of man and make existence increasingly free from pain and disease.
