A little of: This and that

Recctad a little note and a newspaper dipping from vary dear friend, who askei that she remain anonymous. The note reads: Dear Jimmy: You read so much bad news in the papers I thought this would be refreshing to your readers concerning Mankind today. The dipping: Not since Hannibal crossed the Alps has there been quite such a dramatic crossing as that just made by thousands of swallows which, because of cutting winds and unseasonable cold, were just too exhausted to wing their own way south So, instead of just letting them flutter around and die. hundreds of Swiss dtiiens have gathered up those that gave up and sent them on their way by rail and air. What happened was this: The police in Zurich first called attention to the birds' plight, and hundreds of bird lovers and humane socieities promptly responded The federal ornithological station at Sempach got on the air with instructions on how to collect the birds at night and to force-feed them with pieces of lean meat dipped in water, and where to take them next. And pretty soon all these foundering swallows were either en route to the sunny Mediterranean by Swissair to Nice. Marseilles and Barcelona, or by rail through the St. Gotthard Pass tunnel to warmer Italy. Dining car forward and movies m flight. It's a little hard to picture America's railroads, which have trouble enough bringing themselves to try to make people comfortable, extending themselves for a bunch of birds Or the airlines, for that Mental health —

matter, although here we have a tradition of occasional gradousness. So here’s to the Swiss. They’ve given everyone a lift. 000 In the passing of Ted Brown, I and many others, have lost an old friend. My deepest sympathy is extended to las wife. Nancy, and their children. Shirley and Jim. Ted will certainly be missed by all who knew him and especially by his Brother Elks 000 Tonight is Fred Snively Night at the Elks Club. Fred's a former city clerk, mayor, township trustee, a longtime employee of the Cannon Clothing Store, and a Past Exalted Ruler is leaving November 14th for the Elks National Home in Bedford. Virginia May the future hold everything you desire, Fred, and best wishes alwavs. 000 Armistice Day was observed here Monday with a simple but appropriate ceremony on the courthouse lawn. Members of VFW Post 1550 and American Legion Post 58 formed a color guard and firing squad and wreaths were placed at the Doughboy Monument and the Bun Bomb. The sounding of Taps was a fitting climax. 000 My friend. Fay Thomas, recently underwent surgery at the Putnam County Hospital He has been in intensive care and I certainly hope at this writing that he is improving. 000 In closing: “The children usually run everything around home except errands" Continued from page 1

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Ford administration is keeping open the possibility of setting up some form of governmentowned grain reserve as part of an international effort to combat world hunger, according to a source who attend a White House meeting Monday. But Kenneth E. Frick, a topranked farm policy official in the Agriculture Department, disputed the claim. Frick said he believes administration policy has ruled out federallyowned reserves. The report surfaced following a meeting at the White House with a delegation from the National Association of Wheat Growers headed b> Ray Davis, Potter, Neb., association president. According to the informant who asked not to be identified the group was told no decision had been made on how the administration will finally shape its rforld food reserve policy and that the idea of govern-ment-held stockpiles had not been ruled out. "The impression we got was that there is a possibility the> (the administration) might gc along with at least a small gov-ernment-owned reserve,” the source said.

ROME. Italy (AP) - Experts at the World Food Conference warn that the next global crisis will be a water shortage, and it may already have begun. Four water-short nations — India. Egypt. Bangladesh and Pakistan — have introduced a resolution asking international organizations and the more affluent countries to provide $2 billion to $4 billion a year over the next decade to find new sources of water and improve conservation of the water already available. “The water potential is by no means unlimited," says Lester Brown, a U.S. economist and adviser to the U.N.-sponsored conference. "In the near future the lack of fresh water rather than of land may be the principal constraint on efforts to expand world food output." Some experts believe that the conference's goal of increased world food production would decrease already depleted water supplies, especially in

areas where it is needed most. As in the case of food, rich countries have been accused of extravagant use of water. Critics point to figures showing that residents of Florida use 40 times as much water as people in Bengal. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization figures that global demand for fresh water

will increase by 240 per cent by the end of this decade. “The irrigation potential of most of the world's major rivers — the Nile, Yellow, Indus, Ganges and Colorado — has largely been realized,” Brown said in an interview. He said that rather than increasing food production,

which would step up the consumption of water, countries that have plenty of food should eat less. Brown expressed belief that disputes over water could lead to international conflicts and said a wr A water conference should be held within five years.

Drive against Cuba doomed

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — The drive to end the Organization of American States' economic and political sanctions against Cuba appeared doomed today. After four days of meetings by foreign ministers of most of the OAS countries, it became evident Monday night that the proposal to end the 10-year-old quarantine against Fidel Castro's Communist regime could not get the 14 votes necessary for adoption.

A formal vote for the record was scheduled today before the end of the conference. But eight of the 21 delegations announced that they would abstain or vote against the proposal sponsored by Venezuela, Costa Rica and Colombia. Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay came to Quito conunitted to opposing repeal of the embargo. Nicaragua, Brazil and the United States announced early in the meeting that they would abstain. Cuba's

supporters kept saying they were sure of victory until Monday; then Haiti and Guatemala announced they also would abstain because they felt Castro was still meddling in the domestic affairs of his neighbors. Brazil, Chile and Uruguay proposed a recess “until such a time as the situation ripens a bit more.” Diplomatic sources said they suggested another meeting in three months.
