food purchasing power generated by a universal or nationwide program could provide general support to the domestic demand for food and, therefore, act to bolster farm income. In McDowell and Mingo Counties, W. Va. — areas of longtime substantial and chronic unemployment, typical of coal mining areas in the Appalachian range—the food stamp program has meant a continuing toehold on life, a program of hope for those who are participating in it. The surplus food program has been a vital sustainer of life. But this program is essentially one of powdered eggs, powdered milk, lard, beans, and flour. Under the food stamp program, the coupon user has been able to purchase meat, fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh eggs, fresh milk, and a wide variety of packaged staple foods. And all of this has meant more wholesome diets for adults as ~. well as for children.

nearby Catholic church. It had been placed there by the dwellers of one of Rio’s “favelas,” the hilltop slums which abound in Rio. Ibis was a year ago when this correspondent last visited Brazil but in these examples lie some of the contradictions which tear at Brazil internally and compose some of the tragic problems which face its new revolutionary regime. Poor Living Conditions They are the marks of poverty and ignorance and of deplorable living conditions which mark a man for death when he should be in his prime. The mere renunciation of relations with Cuba will not solve them. Nor. will political announcements no matter what their high resolve. The new regime, which is in fact a military one despite lip service to the constitution, has promised a moderate land reform law with adequate compensation to present owners. Other reforms also have been promised. Brazil’s military has a record of respect for democratic processes and there is no doubt that a strong hand was needed if Brazil’s steady drift into economic and political chaos and to the left were to be halted.

Thousands Os Young People To Capital

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International After the wonders of the birds and the bees and the flowers, it would be good for American kids to learn something equally basic about the social and political confrontations of the world in which we live. They should learn, for example, about the great confrontation now prevailing between the open society of free men and the closed society of communism. The idea that American kids should know, about that originated with the kids themselves. Young people by the tens of thousands visit Washington, D.C., every year. Top attractions include the White House, the Capitol, cherry blossoms in season and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Groups of vistors move endlessly through the corridors and exhibits of the FBI. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover recently told a congress! anal committee: Most Are Students “Os the record high of 520,816 people who toured the bureau during the fiscal year 1963, over half were young people, most of them students at various levels. Other young people write to the bureau for information regarding communism. So that they may have a better understanding of the menace of communism we have prepared a pamphlet which we make available to them.” The pamphlet is titled: “What Young people Should Know About Communism.” It presents a brief, meaningful message regarding the extent of communism and some suggestions as to positive steps which young people and every

citizen can take to combat this subversive influence. Hoover testified that the youth of America was a primary target of the American Communist party. Communist party spokesmen appeared in calendar year 1963 before 45 student groups, mostly at oncampus sites. The Reds consider American youth a field for recruitment because so many of them may be uhable to find jobs on entering the labor market. It s not necessary for a young American to visit the FBI in Washington to obtain a copy of “What Young People Should Know About Communism.” J. Edgar Hoover will send you a copy. Address him at: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, Washington 25 D.C. American Communists seek to infiltrate at all levels, official and non-official. They . are busy-busy among Negro groups. They are trying to get their operatives into the State Department, the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon. You name it. The American Reds are trying to infiltrate it. Before falling for the line that maybe the Commies aren't so bad after all, an American should ponder this from Hoover, the best informed American on communism: “It is the avowed purpose of the world Communist movement, of which the Communist party, U.S.A., has always ben an integral part, to destroy our free society by violent means if need be and to supplant our constitutional government by a Soviet-styled dictatorship. “To counter Communist rea-

o 0 Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee o o Q. How should wedding invitations be worded if the bride is a young widow? A. They should be issued in the names of h6r parents, just as the invitations to her first wedding were. Thus: “Mr. and Mrs. John P. Harrison request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, Mary Harrison Grant, to, etc.” Q. My father recently remarried. How do I introduce his Hew wife to nw friends? I can’t bring myself to referring to her as “my mother,” and “my father’s wife” seems too cold and impersonal. A. Since she IS your stepmother, introduce her that way. Q. Do you think a woman public speaker should always wear a hat? A. Not necessarily. Certainly she does not wear a hat if she is in evening clothes. In most communities, distinguished women speak without hats. 'lawever, in conservative communities where a hat is required, it shouldn’t be the kind that shades the speaker's face or distracts her audience. Q. Do you think bridge prizes should always be wrapped, or is it in good taste to present them to the winners unwrapped? A. I like the bridge prize that is attractively wrapped. Q. Is it really necessary to provide “salad forks,” or may the medium-sized regular fork be used? A. The medium-sized fork not only serves every purpose, but is in very good taste. soning we must have a basic understanding of Communist concepts and practices, plus a thorough understanding and appreciation of our own principles, traditions and objectives. “It is vitally important that we know what we stand for and why. ’ Vitally important, that, is, to our survival.

Grace Termed Most Significant Word

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Os all the words bandied about by preachers, none is more mystifying to the average layman than “grace.” But it is a word he cannot afford to ignore. According to one promiment theologian, “Grace is unquestionably the most significant single word in the Bible.” Another says, “It lies at the very heart of the Christian Gospel, and is one of its most distinctive features.” Some of the popular confusion about grace stems from the fact this word has a radically different meaning in Christian theology than it has in everyday usage. In non-theological conversation, grace may mean charm of bearing, an attractive trait, a short prayer of thanksgiving said before meals, or a special favor such as the extension of a time limit (“grace peNiod”). In theology, however, grace is the accepted English translation of the Greek word “charts,” which is used by St. Paul and other New Testament writers in speaking of God’s merciful and forgiving love for sinful man. Attitude And Action The Biblical writers seem to think of “charis” both as an attitude (God’s eagerness to be reconciled with His wayward children) and an action (His outreach in Jesus Christ to bring about that Both thoughts are present'in St. Paul’s classic statement to the Christians at Ephesus; ““By grace you have been saved. It is not your own doing; it is the free gift of God.” The fact that grace is something which man does not deserve, but which God gives him

anyway, is emphasized throughout the New Testament. It makes clear, says the Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible, that grace is “quite the reverse of a reward for good conduct; it is rather a means of rescuing man from his own deep failure and from his helplessness to overcome it.” God Within Man In many passages of the New Testament, grace seems to be synonymous with the power of the Holy Spirit. It is God-with-in-man, enabling him to rise above his weak and self-cen-tered nature, supplying him with the will and strength to love, to believe, to suffer and to serve. Christians believe that the grace of God is mediated, or made available to man preeminently through Jesus Christ, the “Word of God made flesh.” While they differ in their understanding of what happens and why, most Christians also believe that the sacraments instituted by Christ — particularly baptism and holy communion—are effective means whereby grace is imparted.
