A flight »iee in winter temperature can
turn a snowstorm into a rainstorm. When
rain falls, you can tell how much snow it
would equal by multiplying each inch of
rain by 11 3-4. That’s because one inch
of rain is said lo eqnal II 3 4 inches of

inch, He equivalent would be 5 7-8 inch¬

WEED KILLERS, DRUGS AND
FREEDOM OF CHOICE
By Erwin D. Canham, Editor
of The Christian Science Monitor
Behind the cranberry controversy
there is a situation which may well be
blasted into the open by the protests
of the hitherto uninformed but now
awakening public as well as by the in¬
terested parties. The new chemicals
and the so-called ‘‘wonder drugs,” the
additives and the special feeds for
poultry and livestock, the sprays and
poisons, unknown are taking us into a situation
of and unwilling medication
-—or, if that word is too strong, of un¬
known and unwilling chemical ex¬
posure. None
but a supremely well-informed
chemist or drug specialist can have
any accurate idea of just what has
gone into or onto the public’s food and
drink these days. Some of the new
chemicals are to stimulate rapid
growth, a little like Jack’s fabulous
beefstalk. Some of the new chemicals
are weed killers, insecticides, and so
on. There is fluoridation, which among
all the many sprays, additives, and
foods of the period, has actually re¬
ceived a lot of publicity.
Now suddenly, Secretary Flemming
in warning housewives, grocery stores,
and growers against some possibly
contaminated cranberries, has per¬
haps unintentionally drawn open a
curtain on a broad, uncharted area.
There is bitter controversy over the
wisdom and method of this action. The
hit, cranberry although industry appears to be hard
the every political candidate
now out on stump feels impelled
to eat or drink a large amount of
cranberries, just to show that he is
against the bureaucrats.
Total Effect Weighed
This odd political reaction empha¬
sizes the human response to Secretary
Flemming’s the question blanket “When warning. does vigilance It raises be¬ j
excessive?” But the question the ‘
come
public really needs to have explored is
the total problem of sprays, additives,
and feeds.
Are we quite sure what the total ef
feets of this of drugs,and chcmi- ,
0 go ;
cals will be ? The problem ranges all
the way from the effect of DDT and
other insecticides on the bugs that
nourish our songbirds or pollinate our
blossoms to the strontium-90 that may
pollute our general atmosphere and
alter the genetic future of the human
race.
In short, what are we doing to our¬
selves? Are we upsetting the balance
of nature ? Are we sure we are not ?
There are some deeply religious peo¬
ple in the world—many millions of
them, in Asia, as a matter of fact—
who have moral scruples against tak¬
ing life even at the lower and humbler
levels. What rights do they have in
trying to preserve their moral prin¬
ciples? Do others elsewhere in the
world have the right to impose a con¬
trary view on those with such scru¬
ples ?
Are moral principles decided by ma- ! .
jorities ? Does the individual have a
right to know what he is eating Himself and
drinking, and of deciding for
whether he wishes to dose himself j
with chemicals? Are those charged j
with the job of policing the public’s |
welfare in the United States—the |
Food and Drug Administration—ac¬
which, tually able confronts to cope them, with the and huge task the ] I
are
rules and objectives by which they !
should act perfectly clear and under¬
stood by us—the guinea pigs of the
drug age ? There is no questioning the
motives and marvels of many who are
impelling us into this new way of life.
Clearly there have been many gains
for sanitation, for hygiene, and for
well-being. But where do we draw the
line against compulsory drugging of
the individual and his food? Is there
any question about the wonder feeds,
by which a chicken, a pig, or a steer
may be made to grow twice or three
times as fast as in the slow old days,
and with much less fodder? The poul¬
try industry is one of the marvels of
the decade, and chicken is one of the
meats which can be grown as cheaply
or more cheaply than a quarter of a
century ago.
Such poultry raising is spreading
rapidly in Western Europe. This is ob¬
viously advantageous. But is there a
point at which the new feeds become
more monstrous than marvelous ? Are
we tell sure somebody will find out, and
us?
Control Problem Faced
The cranberry controversy can do
much good if it becomes the occasion
to air all the facts that need to be
known about the new drugs to which
we are all willy-nilly exposed. Doubt¬
less we may be very proud and grate¬
ful for some of them. The rapidly in¬
creasing world population needs more
efficient ways of raising food, even if
we have embarrassing temporary sur¬
pluses in North America. But doubt¬
less some of the drugs need more test¬
ing, more supervision, more control
than they now get. And we all have
the right to know drinking, just what it is we
are eating or and to choose
whether we want it.

NEWSPAPER ADS HELD
BEST SALES MEDIUM
_
CHICAGO—(AP)—The of president of
one the world’s largest food store
groups said recently that no advertis¬
ing medium is comparable to the press
in selling food at the retail level.
Don It. Grimes, head of Independent
Grocers Alliance (IGA), cited 34 years
experience as a basis for his state¬
ment.
“If it wasn’t for the advertising
columns of newspapers, we never
could have built IGA to the prestige
level it now holds in the food selling
field,” he told a seminar of IGA ad¬
vertising managers.
“In 1969, regardless of what com¬
petition does, let us concern ourselves
with helping our customers buy, in¬
stead of trying to sell them.”
Grimes criticized one-shot ads and
advised repetition for effective selling.
“Many factors govern the success of
a productive advertisement and con¬
sistency of insertion, in my opinion, is
paramount,” he said. “It is consistency
that acts as the fertilizer that makes
well-conceived advertisements produce
bumper-crop sales.”

GEORGIA POWER TO HELP
COMBAT INADEQUATE WIRING
A plan to help eliminate inadequate
wiring in homes has been worked out
by the Georgia Power Co. and ap¬
proved by the Georgia Public Service
Commission.
John J. McDonough, power com¬
pany homes president, said, “Far too many
still are being constructed with
wiring insufficient to handle modern
day demands. We feel the additional
cost of good wiring is deterring many
contractors and homeowners from
building homes with enough power
outlets and good wiring to meet to¬
day’s requirements.”
He said the power company pro¬
poses to pay a large share of the cost
of installing wiring heavy-duty service en¬
trance in residences on its lines.
The payments will be made to the
electrical contractors doing the work
and the wiring will be the property of
the company, he said.
A customer to qualify must install
certain circuits of his own.
DON'T USE TOO MUCH “SELL”
Mr. J. C. Penney once described his
success thus: “My advertising was
day’s hard-hitting, enthusiastic, but in to¬
phrase in ‘corny.’ I talked with
people would the newspapers just as 1
in my store, or if 1 met a
neighbor on the street. I just told whafc
I had to sell — told all about it, and
kept it honest and believable . . . The
fact is that retailers can’t get along
without advertising — and they’d bet¬
ter not try!”
