JOHN METZLER TELLS WHY ASIA HAS ‘ODOR OF POVERTY’ Kiwanis heard another talk by John Metzler of Nappanee, secretary of material relief for World Council of Churches, Monday, on European; and Asian relief. He spoke at Kiwanis in 1952 on Arabia and in 1957 on Italy and Greece. He was introduced by Da i Metzler. One-third of the world has adequate diet, clothing and materia! things while two-thirds of the world have not, Mr. Metzler stated, declaring that this is the greatest world problem, far worse thae who has the inter-continental missies and hydrogen bombs. Those two-thirds of the world can erupt worse than all the bombs and ICBMs, he inferred. The upper third, living so well, is Christian, the two-thirds are not. We are white, they are not. As an example, he said that the one-third of the world’s people in Upper Europe and the U. S. consume 67 pounds of newsprint a year each (the paper newspapers are printed on). The lower two thirds consume as much newsprint as a roll of toilet paper, about four ounces a year. WE SMELL ‘GOOD’ The upper third “smells good”, he went on. We consume 26 pounds of cotton a year while the lower group consumes only six pounds a year. We can change our clothes. They haven’t enough clothing to change and wash. We have one and a half rooms per person. They have one rooni for each three persons. “They live in dirty clothes, too close together,” he added. “Their odor is the odor of poverty.” The U. S. has 40 percent of the world’s income and almost 100 per-

cent are literate, Metzler continued. In India, 82 percent cannot read or write and life expectancy is 32 years. In the U. S. the baby mortality rate is 27 per thousand; in India 117 babies died out of every thousand. People of Indonesia have so many intestinal worms that their bowel parasites consume enough food energy to feed a healthy person. i TWO HOURS FOR MEAL ..We need about 17 minutes work to pay for a meal. The Asian people require two hours work to produce a meal. A- man with five children must work 14 hours to provide one meal a day for himself his wife and children. It is technically impossible for the Asians to produce enough food to feed themselves, at present, Metzler pointed out. But we cannot give them what they need. The problem is too vast. They must be taught how to produce more. The United Nations is planning a year to “Free the World from Hunger.” No solution is apparent, but we must think toward! a remedy, Metzler concluded. Bob McAndrews announced a plan to raise money for KiwamSs youth fund by selling tickets to Warsaw’s Wagon Wheel summer playhouse. Members are now selling tickets. ON THE SICK LIST Charles Lehman, was released from Bremen hospital Friday. Mrs. Glen Davis, was release 4 from Goshen hospital Friday. Mario McDonald has entered a Detroit hospital where he expects to have surgery soon. He was accompanied by his wife Dorothy.

Baby F irds Move With t ic Gan and Beta; ato S. Bend

The giant army low-boy trailer that lumberer' thru Nappanee early Monday afternoon carried a story of human interest, Babe Reed reports. Monday the big “tat” gun used by the army reserve was moved from the Rt 19 quarters to behind the Reed building at Main and Walnut, the new headquarters. The moving crew and Reed heard a chirping under one of the tracks that nrp let down for the guns to roll onto the low-boy. Looking in, they saw five little birds heads ? eking up from their nest, chirpin as lo tdly as they could for tfc ir mot ter bird and food. Baby 1 rds ca ’t wait long for the next teal. Besides be g hungry, they must have been armed at the long rumbling jo ney from South Bend where ne low- toy is based, to Nappanee and the commotion of loading th big gun. The men wldn’t get into the hole but pla led to put the lowboy back just wherv it was in South Bend lor the convenience of the mother bird, who must be searching frantically for her mysteriously disappeared family. The low-boy is under command of Capt. Meeks in South Bend. When the low-boy and tractor turned the corner of Mam and Market, they turned on -he siren to warn traffic and hold cars to a fire-stop.

Kids Wakened By L ight mug BoH Ik Room The fire sir' r wailed thru Thursday’s night re l storm only a minute after a trrific clasp of thunder and sear ig crackle of lightning crashed to Nappanee, seeming to hit rst outside every window. The bolt slammed into the Ernest Leroy Master son home at 457 E. Centennial thru the television antenna jumped across the living room <nd burned out an electric outlet light: ig the room with a blazing flash o. bright light. The Mastersons ha< guests from Utah and children were asleep on the living room floor. They were not injured, altho one complained of an ear ache the next day. Mrs. Masterson re -ortedly suffered shock and required a doctor’s services. The fire department was called, however there was no fire damage.

The drawing will be at 1:30 p.m. at the licence branch. Judges for the drawing will be Ralph Greene, Rev. William Heimach and Mr. McGrew. Candle-Fire In A-N Office Not Needed for Beat A little glass dish centerpiece with three floating burning candles caused a lot of interest in AdvanceNews office Monday. It was a gift of Joe Gyorgi, Del Monte representative of South Bend, who bought it on vacation at Ephraim, Wis. Three colorful “Ulies” float on a layer of ordinary salad oil and burn for hours. Unlike wax candles, which burn down, these lily candles stay the same and only need a little more salad oil to keep burning. Since the temperature Monday was right up at the top of the thermometer, one joker wanted to know if it wasn’t a little warm for an open fire in the office. SIX NEW RESIDENTS New Nappanee residents during June, as reported by Nappanee Utility, are: Dr. W. C. Anglemeyer, 305 N. Hartman; Rev. C. A. SteWart, 559 E. Broad; Robert W. lleckathorn, 602 E.

FLY BY DELTA FOR FIVE DAYS AT PROMENADE IN MIAMI Next Monday the winner will be drawn for the free vacation for two by Delta Airlines to Miami and five days in the luxury Promenade hotel on Miami Beach. A picture of the Promenade hotel, its master bedrooms, social rooms, pool, sundecks and beach is in the window of Advance-News, and other store windows. Every room has a waterfront view, air conditioning with controls to regulate the “coolness” you wish, bedside radio and circulating ice-water. You get your tan on the soft, sunny, sandy beaches being careful how much you take the first day under a sub-tropical sun. Even though the cooling trade winds blow, Florida has a powerful sun. The Promenade’s pool and cabana colony are social centers where you’ll meet new friends during the day. Get-together events are planned for the evenings with nightly shows and dances in the Zebra cocktail lounge. The free vacation provides for modified American plan, breakfast and dinner. Someone will win for themselves and hubby, wife or a friend. It can be you. Friday night is the last chance to get free tickets for your chances in most stores. Fourth of July, Saturday, and Sunday in the drug stores and restaurants co-operat-ing, tickets will also be available. Next Monday the retail division of association of commerce, under chairman LaVern Pletcher and Bob Steiner, promotions chairman, will draw the winner. The winner will be notified and then Delta Airlines takes over. They make the reservations, which must be in July or August. You will like the exqitment of the Chicago Midway airport. You’ll get a thrill as the plane takes off and circles to set its course South for Miami. The lights of Chicago moving below you will add another thrill. Stree lights and neon: colors will look like a fairyland.

You’ll see other cities emerge a* you wing your way south. A pleasant Delta hostess will get you coffee and aid you in what you wish, magazines, water, pillows or more coffee. You may spend the night hours your Delta plane takes, gazing out the windows or dreaming as you gaze at the moon and soft, billowy clouds. At dawn you’ll see Southern Georgia, below you, then unfolds the East coast of Florida ’til at last you see fabulous Miami Beach on the ocean with its gold-en-rich line of luxury hotels, of which one will be yours, The Promenade. From th e airport, you go to Promenade hotel in a limousine. This limousine will take you back to the airport from your hotel. Remember, you need no purchases to get tickets and the more you get and place in the boxes of the stores, the more chance } r ou have to win.

Petition State on Death Bridges South on Rt 19 A petition from Kiwanis club and citizens of Nappanee is circulating for signatures urgently asking the state highway commission to remove the hazard of the three one-lane bridges on Rt; 19, within four miles south of Nappanee. Carlyle Mutschler, co-chairman of the state-wide Rt. 6 improvement committee and of Rt. 19 committee, issues the petition for the club. “The citizens of this area are anxious for the Highway Commission to proceed with the improvement of Road 19 but, until this work is actually done, we feel the three above mentioned bridges should have immediate attention,” the petition states. Mint Hostetter told Kiwanis of efforts underway for remedy of the “Death Bridges” several meetings ago. Any confused driver who does not know the road can get into trouble with another car or truck on these narrow bridges with the possibility of death for drivers and passengers. Several years ago, a salesman driving on Rt. 19 did meet his death in collision with a truck on one of the death bridges. Only luck has saved several drivers ini close calls since then.

UNCLE EB from EBENEZER says:

DEAR MISTER EDITOR: I saw a couple items in the papers this week that’s got me confused. A feller in Georgia has put together a watch that runs backwards, and a. perfessor in Rhode Island has invented a contraption that’ll blow a soap bubble 100 feet. It took the feller in Georgia eight years to rig up his watch, and the perfessor spent five years on the soap bubble project. When I read stuff like that I feel like the old colored feller that was coming down the road pulling a rope. When somebody asked him the trouble, he said he didn’t exactly know whether he’d lost his mule or found a rope. When inventors spend a combined 13 years figgering out a watch that’ll run backwards and a soap bubble that’ll travel 100 feet, I don’t know whether this country is on the brink of disaster or on the eve of discovering the secret of eternal life. About all that feller’s watch is good fer is to furnish some jokes on. television like, fer instant, the one about the grist mill that started running backwards and unground 40 bushel of meal. I don’t think the soap bubble feller will even git a good joke out of his five year of labor. Fer generations unto generations farmers has studied the problem of how to control a cow’s tail at milking time. They’ve tried all methods, from tying a rock to her tail to tying the tail to the bam

door. They all got the same results, either the cow overcome gravity and slapped the rock back in your face or she kicked over the milk bu c k e t. Now why couldn’t this perfessor or that watch feller been working on the cow tail project, somepun useful fer mankind? There’s no end to the good this invention would do. Take, fer instant, in the field of religion. You might think that h cow’s tail ain’t got nothing to do with religion, but you’re wrong. One reason country folks goes to church so much is to git fergiveness fer the language they use milking a cow during the fly season. Did you ever notice that country folks go to church more during fly season than in the Winter? Well, it’s all on account of the cow’s tail. It’s a national shame, Mister Editor, that we got a watch that’ll run backwards and ain’t got nothing that'll hold a cow’s tail in reverse. Or, fer that matter, some inventor that thinks enough of the pedestrian to put a filter tip on the car exhaust. And speaking of livestock, I see where a feller in Wyoming last week got 30 days in jail fer beating bis wife over the head with a T-bone steak. Serves him right. Meat is too high fer anything but eating. ' ■ Yours truly, Uncle Eb
