May 3.1969 4 From Where We Packages Cost More Than The Food In Them Fifty years ago. dad planted the buck wheat. and when it was ripe, harvested it and took it to the mill. Mother took the flour he brought home and mixed it with butter milk she had churned from the milk she had taken from the cow. She added, some other ingredients and set the whole batter in a warm place until the next day. With some fresh flour, more buttermilk and other in gredients, added at breakfast time, mother would be ready to fry up a batch of buck wheat cakes. This morning, the ten-year-old daughter got up three minutes before dad, went to the shelf and took down a box of ready mix ed. self rising, nonlumping, buttermilk buckwheat cake mix, poured a few spoon fuls into a jar, added a prescribed amount of water, and in “ten shakes”, by the mak ers instructions, poured out golden pan cakes on the electric griddle, set according to instructions.

Well, anyway, many other innovations are available to re lease Mrs. American from the kitchen. Most of us can’t afford maids, but we all pay for built-in maid service at the gro cery store . . . which is OK as long as the public consumer knows the package in many cases is costing more than the farm product in it. At least that’s the way it looks from where we stand. May Is £gg Month -1 1 cfacks, splatters and ' puffs. It is white or brown and oval, yellow and round. (Are you curious?)

The Justice Makes Sense The experience of history indicates that those who condone or support the violence on American campuses and the disruption of educational routine on the grounds of pre serving a necessary atmosphere of freedom’ in institutions of higher learning may be off on the wrong foot. Anarchy on the campus has virtually destroyed higher education in Latin America. The decline began in 1918 when students in Argentina were given a \oice in running the universities. The governments of Latin American countries have been trying to reverse the trend, but, in the meantime, standards have sunk so low that a Mexican professor was compelled to admit, “We produce bad doc tors, but they displace witch doctors. We produce bad lawyers, but they are going to be clerks anyway, with some legal training. Our brilliant students we send abroad.” In the U.S., before the meaning of edu r cation dissolves in chaos, it might be well-to heed the words of Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black who recently said, “I have always had the idea that the schools were to educate children and not children to edu cate teachers.” Across The Fence Row A Clod Of Earth When picking up a, clod of earth Consider what you hold; A treasure of the greatest worth —Far more than miser’s gold a tiny seed in its embrace Sends up a living shoot. There’s beauty in a pansy’s face; There’s wealth around its root This clod may hold a wealth of food Or clothing for a score When God created earth he called it good. Why should I ask for more? Today I hold it in my hand, Tomorrow it holds me And so at least I understand the word Eternity, “I’ve about reached the end of my tolerance for our society's one-sided sym pathy for the misfit, the ne’er-do-well, the drug addict, the chronic criminal, the loser in general, the underdog. I feel it’s time for someone to stand up and say: “I’m for the upperdog!’ ’’ . . . (From and address by Miller Upton, President of Beloit College). The smallest good is better than the grandest intention. One way to create plenty of parking space is to use a few atom bombs. The worst mistake a farm manager can make is to assume he knows enough.” James Jacks, Thornton. Miss. Local Weather Forecast (From the U. S.
