Food Is a Bargain
In United States
Just about all of us complain about
food prices, as we do about other prices.
This, in the postwar inflationary era, has
become almost an automatic, matter-of
course attitude.
But, in the case of food at least, we're
off on the wrong foot when we do that.
For, in the United States, food is a bar
gain — we get more food and better food
for a smaller percentage of our incomes than
any gther people on earth.
~ That's the story that John Strohm, one
of the nation’s foremost agricultural writers
and a world traveler who has visited 70
countries, tells in the September issue of
Reader’s Digest. He x;tsl his };ug: in his
openi aph: “ cou ow any
Vfint;rngfrg‘mn m just one thing, in the
United States, I would turn him loose in
4 small-town supermarket with $25 — the
‘average amount the American homemaker
spends weekly to feed her family. For
food is our No. 1 success story, a far bigger
bargain here than in any other nation.”
That’s a strong and unqualified state
ment, but Mr Strohm has the facts and
figures he needs to back it up. We — the
typical American family — pay 29 per cent
of our after-tax income for food. The Rus
sians, on the other hand, pay 56 per cent,
the Swedes 27 per cent, the Italians 38
per cent and so on, with Nigeria chalking up
a massive 70 per cent.
Mr. Strohm also nails the common fic
tion concerning those “ . . . ‘good ole days’
when prime beef was 15 cents a pound and
bread two loaves for a nickel.” For, he
tells us, those prices had to be paid out of
an sll a week family income, and food
took 40 per cent of the whole. That isn’t
all, either —for today's food is higher in
quality, and comes in infinitely greater va
riety.
The fact that we spend so small a part
of our incomes for food means higher liv
ing standards in every way— more of the
luxuries, better housing, improved educa
tion for our children. And better diets have
been a significant factor in producing a
sharp drop in infant mortality and in ex
lending the life span by nine years in a
mere two generations.
What are the reasons for our abund
ance of food, and its relative cheapness?
Mr. Strohm goes into detail here. All man
ner of forces play their parts. New seeds,
new and better fertilizers and insecficides,
marvelously efficient farm machinery, bug
resistant crops, are among them. The sub
stance of it is that one U. S. farmer can
feed himself and 26 others, byway of com
parison, a Russian collective-farm worker
can only feed himself and three or four
more people. As Mr. Strohm puts it, “If
our farms were no more efficient than the
Soviet collectives I've visited, 20 to 25 mil
lion U. S. industrial workers would have
to quit their jobs for the farm. Think what
that would do to our standard of living and
to our ability to shoot for the moon!”
And the food story doesn't end on the
farm — not by any means. Mr. Strohm
speaks again: “Some eight million proces
sors, package manufacturers, transporters,
wholesalers, retailers take our raw farm
produce and place 50 billion dollars’ worth
of food on store shelves. Packing plants
utilize ‘all of the hog except the squeal’
conserving once wasted by-products for
medicines and other valuable items. Jets
carry lobsters from Maine to lowa, fresh
vegetables from California fields to Boston
tables in 24 hours at a price the housewife
is glad to pay.”
Mr. Strohm makes what seems to be
an unassailable case. Yes — food is a bar
gain in this country.
Ralph T. Moore writes in the Oregon
Voter: “Economists are puzzled over why
consumer spending falls substantially be
low predicted levels when the people’s
income. continues to climb ... It would
seem {9 be the result of a general lack of
confidence in the future either from fear
of war or of the sharp advances in the
massive federal spending that forces up
costs on ,Lust about everything.” In another
part of his article he says: “.. almost
anywhere you look throughout the nation
you will find work stoppages that virtually
guarantee the upward march of industrial
costs on the eve of our much advertised
participation in Europe’'s Common Market.”
Senator Tobey advises parents: “Don’t
give your child an allowance — make him
earn it. Teach him that money, security
and earthly riches are the reward of hard
work and economy. Then, when he grows
up, he will not expect the government to
give him wealth benefits and old age pen
sions without his having put anything into

Two Must Go Together
In Tax Reductions
The Chamber of Commerce of the United
States is one of the many ~roups which
favors substantial tax reductions as a spur
to lagging business.
At the same time, the Chamber em
phasized the need for an accompanying
rigid economy program in government. In
its view, cuts of more than %5 billion could
be made in the budget for fiscal 1963 with
out harm to any essential program or ser
vice.
The Chamber’s tax reduction plan in
volves several steps: A cut in top bracket
individual income tax rates from 91 per
cent to 65 per cent; splitting of the lowest
individual tax bracket, with a 15 per cent
rate on the lower portion; proportionate ad
justment of the rates between the maxi
mum and the minimum; reduction of the
corporate tax rate from the present 52
per cent to 47 per cent. The result would
be a spur to consumer spending and, more
important in the long run, stimulated cap
ital investment by enterprise. This is tEo
source of more and bhetter jobs — just as
it is the source of more tax revenues in
the future.
But —a big cut in taxes without a cut
in spending could prove disastrous.
Many Railroads Must Now
Merge to Avoid Bankruptcy
It is sad to contemplate that the once
bustling Eastern railroads are badly in
need of help. And if a solution to their
many problems is not found, it will only
be a question of time before they will fol
low the New Haven into bankruptey, invit
ing nationalization for all railroads.
Soaring costs, outmoded regulation and
government subsidies for truckers, airlines
and waterways have increasingly plagued
all railroads. Eastern railroads have add
itional problems: too many points of ex
change, too many duplicate tracks and
facilities - in short, far too much plant for
the amount of business left to them.
One immediate source of relief is merger.
Soundly conceived mergers, while not a
complete solution to their many problems,
will enable Eastern roads to better com
pete against other modes of transportation.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
decides whether or not a proposed merger
is soundly conceived, and if it is in the
public interest. One thing is certain: it is
not in the iublic interest to have the Gov
ernment take the railroads over.
A moratorium on mergers, as proposed
in pending legislation, is not the answer,
The ICC opposes action. Many railroads
would atrophy during the 18-month period
Senator Kefauver {eels is necessary to
study the entire merger situation. What
has not been done in 42 years of special
studies by various commissions is not like
ly to be done in 18 months.
Railroads are too important to our ece
onomy to impose a debilitating, footshuff
ling waiting period while their fate is ted
lously debated in the halls of congress.
Jobs are at stake, that's for sure. But we
read about the proposed Pennsylvania and
New York Central merger, most of those
who will lose their jobs as a result of the
result of the merger will be guaranteed
fair and adequate protection, including full
wages for a four-year period. Without
merger they may very well lose their jobs
without such generous protection. Both
roads have dropped an average of more
than 11,000 jobs a year between them
over the past 10 years. The merger, the
companies say, will result in the loss of
only 7,800 jobs over a five-year period.
If mergers can help the Eastern railroads
stay out of bankruptcy, we're for them.
From Human Events magazine: “In an
address in India, Ambassador John Kenneth
Galbraith, former Harvard economics pro
fessor boasted that already one-fifth of the
American economy is planned by the gov
ernment. He said that if we take into con
sideration all current resources ‘fully con
trolled and disposed of by the state, about
20 per cent of the American economy is
planned’ Ambassador Galbraith pointed
out that, as the comparable figure for In
dia was only 13 to 14 per cent, ‘the market
economy of the United States has a larger
public sector than the Socialist economy
of India.’ Translated, that means that now
we're even more Socialistic than Socialist
India.”
Fringe benefits averaged $1.254 per
employe in the United States in 1961, ac
cording to U. S. Chamber of Commerce
survey. The sum represented 24.9 per cent
of payroll and was $122 higher than the
average of a similar 1959 survey.

What a Christian believes
makes a great difference in the
life he lives. For this, and many
other reasons, it is important
that we pay close attention and
do some clear thinking con
cerning the doctrinal and theo
logical subjects for the lessons
of this quarter.
A most simple and compre
hensive definition of “theology”
is this: “Theology is an orderly
statement of what we believe
concerning God and his deal
ings with men.”
~ This is the third of a series
of three lessons in which we
have considered God, Jesus
Christ the Son of God, and now
the Holy Spirit. In considering
today the third Person of the
Godhead, we must pause to
think of the Christian doctrine
of the Trinity. Like other Bib
lical doctrines this came gra
dually in God's revelation to
men. It was necessary first to
teach men of the unity of God
and then gradually, through
the light of the prophets, that
the Messiah was to be God in
carnate or “Emmanuel” — God
with us.
In the Old Testament we find
that the Spirit of God was giv
en to guide men in the con
struction of the Tabernacle and
the setting up of the ritual of
worship for the chosen people.
The Psalmist seems to regard a
revelation of the Holy Spirit as
an inward force when he says,
“Take not Thy Holy Spirit from
Me,” in the form of a prayer
(Psalms 51:11).
The prophets felt that t h e
word they were speaking w a s
not their own, but revealed to
them by God as repeated in the
phrase, “Thus saith Jehovah.”
It is only in the New Testa
ment, however, that we find
that the Holy Spirit was t h e
actual revealer of God's word.
And though each author wrote
in the style of his time a n d
environment, the Holy Spirit
was the guide as to what should
be set down. Later it preserved
the revelation in scripture for|
future ages. “For the prophecy
came not in old time by the will
of man: but holy men of God
spake as they were moved by
'the Holy Spirit” (II Peter 1:-
a1).
' We must remember that the
‘doctrine of the Trinity was not
conceived by the mind of man,
'but is a great mystery revealed
‘only by God Himself. !
- Though. our mind cannot
comprehend the doctrine or
fully understand how there
can be one God, yet in three
Persons, there are many illus
trations which have been pro
posed as an analogy te t h i s
great doctrine of three in one.
‘Perhaps one of the best illus
trations from nature is that of
’electricity which is one force,
vet it makes itself evident to
'us in three ways: as energy,‘
light and heat. We must always |
remember that any illustration |
will fail to give us a full or|
true explanation of the nature
of God, or his Being, which is
so far beyond anything the
mind of man can comprehend.
We can only accept by faith
the doctrine of the Trinity as|
revealed in God's word buti
never hope to understand en- |
tirely such a revelation which
is beyond our power to fathom.
The disciples of Christ came
only gradually to realize tha!
he actually was God in huma.
form. When they saw his migh
ty works, the only logical con
clusion was that he was God
incarnate. Then when he w a s
about to leave them and they
were sad, he told them that he
would not leave them comfort
less (or orphans) but that he
| would send the Holy Spirit,
and when the Spirit had come
they would see that this was
actually himself, Christ t h »
Lord, who had returned to be
with each of them constantly,
no matter how widely t he y
would be separated.
In fact, we may go back to
the Old Testament to find a
similar statement in Ezekiel
36:26,27, “A new heart also will
I give you, and a new spirit
will I put within you .. and
I will put my spirit within
vou ..
The disciples bazfore Pente
cost were no doubt regenerate
men, but at. Pentecost the Holy
Spirit came to dwell in them.
The Holy Spirit had acted upon
them before, but in this second
giving of the Spirit they re
ceived the full revelation of the
Father’s love and grace in Je
sus Christ and the power for
a new and victorious life.
The Holy Spirit first works
upon the believer from with
out. Later, he becomes the in
ward possessor of the heart and
‘soul.
~ As Christ is about to leave
‘his disciples, he gathers them
in the upper room for final in
structions. The public ministry
had now ended, and before the
passion and the resurrection the
Master desires to set his teach
ing in perspective for tkose who
are to continue the mission
which Jesus came to inaugur
ate. This mission, he declares,
is no less than the saving of
a lost world and implanting
in this human society of the
kingdom of God.
Chapters 13 to 17 of the Gos
pel of John have been called
the “Holy of Holies” of t h e
Gospel. Not that one part of
the scripture is more holy or
true than another, but 1 a st
words or important — and
these last words of Jesus are
t}ée most important ever utters
ed.
Chapter 13 begins with Christ
washing the disciples’ feet.
Here he exemplifies the ser
vant Lord and gives a symbol
for all Christians, and especial
ly ministers of the gospel. The
real meaning of ‘“minister” is
“servant” and the Master him
self has told us that the one
who would be greatest should!
be minister of all. |
Then in Chapter 17 we have.
the great intercessory prayer of
our Lord. The risen and g]ori-l
fied Christ ever liveth to make
intercession for us ( Hebrews‘
7:25). |
From this seventeenth chap-:
ter of John we may learn by
careful analysis the tvpe of in~!
tercession that the Lord is now
making for us beside the throne
of grace. !
Today we study the cemral!
theme in this great section of!
John's Gospel, the gerson an d!
work of the Holy Spirit. In the|
beginning of today's lesson.‘
Christ tells the disciples that
there were manyv things he hadj
not revealed to them before be- |
cause it was not necessary fo.|
them to know these things|
when he was with them f o r'
they ecould go to him at once
with their problems.
But the Lord makes plain by
repetition that he is leaving
them, and he is surprised thati
they do not ask where he is go

doubt that the disciples were
filled with sorrow at the
thought that Jesus was leaving
them. In fact, they were over
whelmed with this sorrow, and
what they needed now was
comfort.
The Master had bee~ telling
the disciples about the Com
forter. In the 14th chapter of
John, verses 16 to 18 and verse
26, it would seem Jesus h a d
made this plain. However, the
disciples were still somewhat
confused. Jesus, accordingly,
gives them some assurance in
the matter of his going away —
that this is necessary and ex
pedient. For if Christ did not
return to the Father, the Com
forter — which he had ex
plained was the Holy Spirit — |
would not come. ‘
Georgia Report Relates Much
Progress in Forest- Industries
The economic picture of
Georgia’s forests is improving
steadily, both in terms of cur
rent income and the outlook
for the future, but there is still
a lot to be done to reach the
full economic potential.
C. Dorsey Dyer, head of the
Extension forestry department,
University of Georgia College
of Agriculture, summed up this
way a recently completed re
port on the status of the state’s
forests. The report was com
piled from many different
sources.
The report deals mainly with
the actual volume of the state's
three major forest products--
sawtimber, pulpwood and naval
stores--and the money paid to
landowners for these products.
Although this is just part of the
picture of the state's vast for
est-related industries, it is a
good basis for measuring the
progress being made, Mr. Dyer
said.
He pointed out that the
available supply of raw mater
ials used by these industries is
a main reason for their locat
ion here, and the continuing
dependable supply will be the
key to their growth and the
location in the state of other
wood products-using industries.
One of the greatest threats to
maintaining this supply is a
high ad valorem tax rate on
timber land, which makss it
uprofitable for owners to leave
timber on the land long encugh
to grow to the size desired by
many of these industries, he
said.
The forester singled out the
following information from the
detailed report that reflects
the status of the state’s wood
land economy:
Forest land now makes up
69 percent of the state’s total
area. A recent survey shows
that this is an increase since
1953 of six percent in volume
of pine sawtimber.
Since forest products use de
pends upon other industries, it
fluctuates from year to year,
but has shown a steady growth
over the last several years.
For example, income from
the three major products for
1961 is estimated at $l5O mil
lion. This is a drop of over sll
million from the preceding
year, with most of the loss re
sulting from a decrease in
house building which was re
flected in lower sawtimber

Although many Halloween superstitions have long since been
debunked, the more pleasant eustoms have come down through
the centuries, and both young and old alike make merry on
this day. The custem es using pumpkins, goblins and corn
stalks for decorations has been passed down te us from the
ancient Druids. §
There are parties galore for this fun holiday and the theme
is carried out by an amusing “help yourself* table of goedies
of candy, chocolate, donuts and apple cider, all in the best
witch and goblin tradition. For the many faces of Halloween,
try stacking assorted donuts and put a large goblin face lolli
pop in the holes. Intersperse with chocolate goblins, witches
and pumpkins on a large platter.
The econtainer fpt your favorite cider or punch can be a
fresh pumpkin which can be scooped out to hold the beverage—
eyes, nose and mouth ean be made from chocolate bars or
licorice; or, buy a large plastie pumpkin for the occasion.
The center of your table can be the high spot of the Hallow

sales. This situation is improv
ing as house construction is
rising.
Over the long haul, foresi
income is increasing. Total
average annual income for the
period 1954-37 was $142 058,
066. For the period 1958-61 it
was $148,156,334.
A breakdown shows that for
the same periods sawtimber
income dropped over $lO mil
lion. Pulpwood income rose
sl4 million and naval stores
held steady with an increase of
only $200,000.
Sawtimber fluctuates rapid
ly, with the highest years in the
period being 1955, 1956 and
1959. Pulpwood has shown a
relatively steady increase dur
ing the entire period, Gum
naval stores sales stated oft
high in 1954 at nearly s2l mil
lion, dropped steadily until
1958, and then rose again to a
new high of over s2l million in
1961. It is notable, however,
that the peak in 1961 was made
on a volume of 636,000 barrels,
compared to 836,672 barrels in
1954, reflecting higher prices.
Gum rose to an average of
$40.40 a barrel in 1960, a price
both producers and users felt
was dangerously high, and then
leveled off to $33.10 in 1961, a
price both sides agreed would
make for a more stable market.
Saw log prices rose steadily
in the last decade, from an
average of $36.39 per thousand
board feet in 1930 to $48.00 in
1960, but the volume sold de
creased by more than one
fourth. In the same period,
pulpwood sales doubled from
some 2,200,000 cords to some
4,400,000 cords and the price
per cord went up from an aver
age of $11.86 to $16.20. The
increasing value of pulpwood :3
shown even better by going
back to 1938, when it was:
worth an average of only $3.60
a cord.
Continued planting of har
vested acres and idle land and
better management practices oit
existing stands are needed to
meet the future demands of the
