Your Attitude Toward Food

•y Merman N. Bundestn. M. O. WHY do must of Us eat three meal* a day? Because Nature endowed ns with hunger pains and thee. liunKti pains stimulate a desire for food. Thia desire i* commonly known as appetite. But. even hunter pains will not mak a person eat if there are certain factors operating which make him lose his appetite. Eating should be a source of pl asure and comfort, although, of course, it should be borne in mind that we eat to lire, not live to eat. Anything that interferes with the pleasure of eating will less n the desire for food. Unpleasant Eating Martha Koehne of Ohio, has mtggbsted a number of thing* which make eating unpleasant. Then* include unpleasant scenes at the table, scolding or nagging a person about what he eats and how much of it he eats, punishing a child Just before, during or after f>' meal for bad behavior, quarrels at meal times, forcing anyon to eat what he does not want, serving food that is unattractive or tastes badly,'fifing too much of a food, eating when uncomfortable, end depriving a young child of the privilege «f fc-ding himself bemulti he may spill food. F Perhaps the greatest cause of poor appetite in children ir the •TMtli of eSorts on th' part of the unreal to gat foods lit© the uhild vhM *e does hot want them- Giv*

Russia is having difficulties too. in Stalin's own province of Georgia, and in Rostovon the-Don. half of the soldiers let out of the army last June are still unemployed. At Taganrog the army hail to “interven in order to ease the situation.” This masterpiece of understatement conies from the Russian official newspaper, Pravda. With al) our troubles about men who want to go home, w have had nothing like that. Russia is having production troubles too. but that is another story. iy—o - ~ Sentiment seems to favor th I erection ot a memorial to those who served in World War 11. The county commissioners are obtaining information on the matter, relativ to cost and location of the memorial tablets on the court house grounds. The investigation follows the suggestion that bronze tablets be erected containing the nam of every individual from ■he county who served in the armed forces It seems that the location of the memorial should he discussed la-fore it is finally det nnined where it will be placed. More people would ee it if lota . ted on the front lawn of the court! house grounds. O <» Kindness:A California war widow received a I iter from an 11 year old Dutch girl, saying each citizen in her village had been made responsible for a grave in the American cemetery ther and she had been assigned that of the woman's late husband, a World War II sergeant. Wa* there any kind of flowers the American would like particularly to have put al hi* resting plac ? While thousands upon thousands of American dead have been lost oi lie In lands of the enemy where there can b no friendly flower tokens, such a gesture as that of the Dutch girl and her village goes straight to America's heart and | iiMomes & shining aymlrol of a binding friendship with Holland.

Farm Bureau Opposes Strike By Farmers President Schenck Issues Statement , Indianapolis. Feb. 7 — (UP) — President Hassll ®. Hchenk said today that-the Indiana Farm Bureau would retuse r quests that It endorse strikes among farmers. He acknowledged igltatlon in Indiana for an agricultural walkout. "We criticize industry and labor. and justly so, for their present strike tactics,” Sch nek said. "For the fa; tners to -trike would place u* in the same category as those we are now criticizing.' Schenck issued the statement in conn ction with announcement of some western farmers that they might strike He said he was "tolerant” of those fanners but added that the farm bureau "would not comply with such requests.” “My tohrance of their demands Is due to the penalty suffered by farmers as a result of strikes and to the fact that farmers, under most severe condition*, have led th parade in a program of constructive production to meet all demands and at a price which is not conducive to inflation," Schenck said. Schenck said strikes "by Roth lalmr and industry” were "hazardous to the security of the nation's economy" and "absolutely for ign to the pliosophies of the farm bureau.” "In light of present wage and price level*. If any group in America is entitled to resort to strike tactics, it Is the American farmer.” Schenck said. "Farm rs. however, do not measure human value* in dollars and cents. "For the farmers to resort to strikes would mean that we are starving Ivtt.Ott.OOO innocent

"ft seems to make little difference to Industry or to labor as to how the general public Is affected or how the overall national economy Is hazarded, so long as either Industry or labor can gain Its point.” Schenck said that It was obvious 1 Industry was striking for higher prices for its product*. while labor was demanding higher wages "All this agitation Is I adlng to a considerable urge throughout the state ami nation that farmers likewise strike." he said. Schenck said that most farmers I were not complaining too sever - 1 ly. “But how long they will retain their patience is going to definitely depend upon how so >n industry - and labor are going into full |»r«»i duction.” TOUGH ANTI-STRIKE tCaatlnaeU Fr.m Page Oaet cember. Mr. Truman suggested a bill which would authorize him to set up fact-finding boards with power t<> subpena company records and enforce 30-day cooling I off periods. The house labor committee ' watered down the Truman bill | considerably, however, ami It was as a substitute to Its bill that the Case measure came to the floor. As far as the house was concerned. ihe “fact-finding'' bill died when the Case substitute wa» tentatively approved. Floor debate was bitter. More than a score of amendments were offered and supporters of the case hill had to l*eat down two surprise motions which would have killed It entirely. ■ o- — 1 ' PROBE VIOLENCE IN 'Turn To Page 3.
