Since last year the price of onions has quadrupled. You could buy two pounds last year for around 29 cents. This year one would cost nearly twice that. For most Americans, it already takes about all their money to buy a hanburger for lunch. Now they will have to say ‘hold the onions.' We have a feeling that not too many tears will be shed." REDWOOD FALLS, MINN., GAZETTE “The tragic part about... Watergate .. (was) that the people being questioned . (could have been) guilty as sin but .

And there are some who are worrying that there soon might not be a nation for the national bird. Look at the eagle on the Eisenhower (a base metal sandwich), and check the claws. They are all clasping the olive branch of peace. The older dollar--the real one that was mostly silver-depicted the national bird with one foot holding the olive branch, and the other a bunch of arrows-to be used, just in case.. ’’ ELK POINT, S.D., LEADER-COURIER: “Most countries of the world use the metric system for measurements. The notable exception is the United States and it probably won't be many years until this country does. It is actually a much simpler method than ours and it will be a great advantage especially with companies who engage m foreign trade. There are many other advantages as well. The bad feature about it is that we will all have to educate ourselves to a new system of measurement." ST LOUIS, MO., LABOR TRIBUNE. “The . battle of the budget waged between the Congress and the Ad ministration should draw public attention to the urgency of establishing coordinated planning and control of federal spending The natmn can no longer afford a congressional appropnative process that resembles a gang of criminally inclined youths racing through a jewelry store If both Congress and the Administration fail to live up to their fiscal responsibilities, national bankruptcy seems to be the ultimate alternative And that usually requires a dictatorship and would end our fteedom under representative govern ment ” BELTON TEXAS. JOURNAL AND BELL COUNTY DEMOCRAT “In the face of all the current food shortages, many people in Washington still favor curtailment of production big subsidies, price supports, etc We simple-minded folk say to let things alone for a while and see if the law of supply and demand will work again like it used to ’ Lr. XXX XXX XXX NOW IS THE TIME . .. Max Smith County Agr. Agent Telephone 394-6851 To Visit Farm Show The Pennsylvania State Farm Show opens Monday in the old Farm Show Building at Harrisburg. In spite -of gasoline conditions, show officials are making plans for a normal round of activities and huge crowds of people. Due to limited parking facilities near the Farm Show Building, officials are suggesting that folks attend the show other than Wednesday and Thursday, when the largest crowds have attended in past years. Active farmers are urged to attend, not only to see livestock and modern machinery, but to attend some of the meetings and banquets in their line of work. Urban families can learn more about animals and food production by taking their youngsters to the Farm Show. To Order Seed Supplies Even though it is me dead of winter according to the calendar, it is not too early to be ordering the farm and garden seeds needed this spring. Supplies may be limited and many adapted varieties will give better yields than some that you may have to take later in the spring. Seed smen will also appreciate the early orders, in order to get their work organized. Certified seeds are still strongly recommended and worth the extra investment. Also, it is best to buy from a reliable seedsman that will give service and adjustments. The “bargain” buy from a stranger could be the most expensive transaction. ■aekcround Scripture John 6 25-«* Some time ago I saw m the dis play window of a local bakeiy the most delicious-looking piece of pastry. It was covered with icing, fruit, and several kinds of syrup. Just looking at the pastry made me extremely hungry The longer I stared at it, the greater grew that great void m my stomach I tried resisting the impulse to buy the pastry for two reasons (1) ncl' pastry isn’t on my diet, Rev. Althouse and (2) I had al ready eaten a good desert at my last meal My stomach said “yes,” and my mind said “no ” Insatiable appetites I Walked back and forth before that pas.tr> window several times before, weakening, I entered and bought one With great anticipat ion I took my first bite It was good, but somehow it wasn’t near ly as good as I had thought and when I finished I felt somehow a piofound sense of disappoint ment There was still an empti ness unfilled So it is with many of the things with which we attempt to fill that \oid The narcotics addict is but one of many who are hungry desperate to fill the void within For some it is the bottle, for others it is the addicts’ needle, but an even larger number of people strne to fill the emptiness wilh bnght and shining things" To Adju*t Insurance Coverage Building costs have been on the increase for many years. Fire insurance policies may need to be rewritten in order to cover the cost of replacement. To cover the original cost of a building is not enough; the ' coverage should keep in mind the replacement costs. The time to make this adjustment is before the fire - not afterwards. Local property owners are urged to contact their insurance agents and discuss the amount of coverage on current buildings and personal property. At this time of the year, most barns are full of feed and hay supplies, and many contain farm machinery. The coverage should be sufficient to cover the loss in case of fire. Don’t'delay your insurance adjustments. Viewpoints success, power, work, speed, sex, etc. Yet the appetites seem insatiable and impossible to sat isfy. Bread is often referred to as “the staff of life” in recognition that it is the universal symbol for sustenance. Whether it be the unleavened, cracker-like wafers of the primitive tribes or the soft white bread found on most Amer ican tables, bread is a basic food. It represents man’s attempt to provide for himself and his fam ily the food necessary for life. “Not by bread alone.. Yet, Jesus said that “man does not live by bread alone,” and it is true: there is an even more vital hunger than for bread or any material food. Man’s problem is that he too often tries to fill his deeper, spiritual hunger with a material nourishment. In John 6 we see Jesus speak ing to this directly Do not con centrate on physical nourishment and satisfaction which lasts only a short time. Seek the spiritual nourishment which only God’s Son can give; that “food" lasts for ever The men had missed the deeper meaning of the feeding of the five thousand Jesus is cap able of filling men’s deepest needs Jesus had stunned them with his miracle of feeding five thou sand people Even more startling was his claim and promise: “I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger ’’ (6:35) Far greater than his power to fill men’s stomachs was the ability of Jesus to fill that even greater spiritual emptiness within •osed on outlines copyriflhted by the Division of Christum Education, Notional Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA Released by Community Press Service )
