: Erich Brandds’ | 1 have a good mind to sue Dr Thurman B. Rice, of the Indiana I State Board of Health, for libc!. i Not that he has libeled me, J but, what is worse, he has libelj ed one of my good friends.

Dr. Rice lias just declared that I there is absolutely no nutritional I value to spinach and that Pop1 eye of the comic strips couldn't ! get enough energy out of all the ' spinach he could eat to lift his j pipe out of his mouth. ! That is libel. This column will appear in many papers that do not publish Popeye, but 1 take Popcye only as a symbol. How can Dr. Rice or any • other scientist dare to impute the teachings of the comic strips

I and to dedale liimself a wiser l man than the creators of Popeye or Blondie or U'l Abner or Steve Canyon or Dick Tracy or 1 Lit lIc Annie Rooney or the many • other comic strips that, as any half-way intelligent American I knows, are the last word in ! authority and erudition ? Dr. Rice says that spinacli and rhubarb contain oxalic acid and oxalic acid is bad for people. So what? Hasn't Popeye proved year after year that spinach is good for people and makes them strong and smart? All we have is Dr. Rice's word. But Popeye has given us proof. You have seen it on weekdays in black anu wi *tc and on Sundays in iuh coiois that spinach is good for people. Has Dr. Rice given .us proof? Have we ever seen a picture ol oxalic acid or of anybody who has not been made strong by eating spinach? I have read so much about the comic strips being an evil influence upon the young. 1 deny that allegation. For many years I have been connected with the syndicate that handles many of the country’s great comic strips. I have seen thousands of letters frotn all kinds of people,

proving that the comic strips arc n definite and an influential part iof American life, 1 They fire the imni’inalion. they make the impossible possible, they change the humdrum of daily life into great and noble adventure. More than P!l ‘i of all the American newspapers publish comic strips. And I daresay that almost 9!l'i of all the people in America read and love their comic strips. I shall not sue you for libel, dear Dr. Rico. You may be right at tha? about spinach not being particularly valuable for the stoinach. I But how about spinach and | comic strips as food for the im- | agination ? “As a man t’linketh so is he," ! you know.

FARM PRICE LEVEL HITS RECORD HIGH During the year just ended, fanners in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee increased •their own investment in production credit associations sufficiently to retire $1,058,000 of the capital loaned them by the Government, announces 1 F. L. Kerr, president of the Production Credit Corporation of Louisville. It is expected\that during the calendar year of 1948 they will return at least as much as

during 1947.

A substantial increase in business, together with the voluc-

I tary

investment in capital stock

of their associations, has made this retirement possible. Farmerowned capital stock and reserves of the 41 production credit associations in these four states now amount to 62 percent of the associations’ capital and net

worth, Mr. Kerr said. RUBBING IT IN | MONFORT. Wis. (UP)
