Reports From

THE MOST TRAGIC aspect of
the current gold crisis is that
those who refused to see it com
ing are equally blind to the ob
vious remedy.
Many individuals like myself
have been warning for years that
this country’s
policy of dis
pensing bil
lions over the
world through
an alphabet of
foreign - aid
programs
would have
the inevitable
result of putting a foreign-held
mortgage on the American gold
reserve. Now that that predicted
eventuality is grim reality with
potential foreign claims against
American gold exceeding the coun
try’s entire stock, it is both incred
ible and alarming that no one in a J
position of responsibility is willing |
to face up to the problem realis-1
tically by advocating the radical l
reduction in American overseas
largesse which the situation de
mands. It is wholly incomprehen
sible how many such persons can
actually propose that foreign
spending be increased.
» « ♦
THE RELATIONSHIP between
J>e outflow of gold and foreign aid
is illustrated by two recent news
paper headlines which appeared
within one day of each other. One
stated, “Gold Outflow Hit JI Bil
lion In Summer”; the other read,
“Ike To Ask $4 Billion For Aid.”
It is futile to believe that the
deficit can be overcome by econo
mizing on the dependents of
American servicemen abroad or
by trying to persuade more af
fluent allies who owe their pros
perity to American aid to assume
a greater share of economic aid

I Mr, Roy Jenkins, Mr. J. W.
King, and Mr. Robert Knight
spent the week of January 15-
21 at the Terrel] Machine Co.,
and military expenditures. The
relatively-small savings realized
by the former course would be far
offset by the cost in morale of
the men protecting our interests
in other lands. Our sad experi
ence in pursuing the latter with
West Germany offers little hope
for any significant results along
that line.
The fact that the amounts we
are losing in gold and are paying
out in foreign aid are equal to
each other makes the solution to
our problem self-evident.

SOME TOP MEN in the world
of finance have seriously suggest
ed that Congress repeal the re
quirement that the United States
Treasury maintain a minimum
gold reserve of 25 per cent of the
currency in circulation. That idea
might have merit if all the world
I were a free market and all cur
i rencies were on a par in value and
••onvertibility, but it dangerously
fails to take into account the im
placable enemy who has sworn to
destroy us through our own eco
nomic stupidity.
Since the rest of the Frea
World looks to the gold-based dol
lar as the one sure harbor in a
sea of paper values, the United
States cannot under any circum
stances entertain devaluation of
the dollar or lowering its gold re
serves. Therefore, unless we want
to provide the world with an ex
ample of how to go broke in one
easy lesson, we have to face up
to the fact that the United States
has reached the end of the hand
out era and must revise its pro
grams and policies accordingly.

Commercial Canned And Frozen
Vegetables Help Homemakers
Homemakers can use commerc
ially canned and frozen vegetables
to great advantage in providing
an adequate diet for her family.
Let’s take the advantages of
canned and frozen vegetables for
example. They are convenient,
economical, save time and work,
nutritious, clean, and wholesome.
Let’s don’t stop there though. They
are also ready any time, offer a
wide choice of variety of food, easy
to buy, fine in flavor, little or no
waste and available all seasons
of the year.
The high quality product that
leaves a company’s food processing
plant is also an important consider
ation. The quality of the raw food
product, processing methods and
storage are carefully controlled
under quality- control laboratories.
It is extremely important for home
makers to select, handle, and use
commercially processed foods to
meet these quality requirements.
This month, I would like to de
vote part of my column in giving
a few suggestions to homemakers
on spending the food dollars more
wisely by applying certain food
technology principles that have
been developed by research.
CLOTHING LABELS ARE
IMPORTANT
One of the important points list
ed on the label of the clothing you
buy is the clothing's finish. The
finish, as you know, is a process
of treating a fabric with chemical
solutions to give the fabric some
predetermined characteristics.
Wash and wear garments is one
type of finish. An examination of 1
the label on many of these gar
ments finds that the manufacturer
says no ironing is necessary. The
catch to this, of course, is how
you expect the garment to look
when it isn’t ironed. Many manu
facturers have gotten out of this
dilema by stating you can iron if
you wish or instead of saying
they are 100 percent wash and
wear, they call them “easy care"
garments.
You’ll also find another finish
noted on clothing labels. It is that

this doesn’t mean the garment

Amendment To Food, Drug, And
Cosmetic Act Considered
Miss Lucile Higginbotham, health
Education specialist with the co
operative Extension Service, tells
me that amendments are under
consideration for strengthening the
cosmetic section of the Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act. One proposed
amendment is to require all pro
ducts to be tested before they are
placed on the market. If such legis
lation is passed, the consumer may
be even more assured the cosmet
ics chosen and used are safe ones.
The consumer also plays a vital
role when using drugs, cosmetics,
and other products by completely .
reading and specifically following '
the label information and direc
tions.
