JOSEPH DANDREA IS
OUT OF ARMY BUT
IS STILL IN THE WAR
Joseph P. Dandrea, 321 Pamer
Avenue, Patton, Pa, is now en-
route to an overseas assignment
with UNRRA to work as Assistant
Welfare Officer in the
drea joined UNRRA in June, and
has been receiving special train-
ing at the UNRRA Training Cen-
ter, University of Maryland, at
College Park, Md.
Approximately 6,000 UNRRA
workers are now in the British,
French and American occupation
zones of Germany where the inter-
national relief and rehabilitation
agency has been requested to fur-
nish 450 teams of doctors, public
health nurses, camp directors, wel-
fare workers and other specialists
to help in the repatriation of about
5 million United Nations Nation-
als and Italians. Three thousand
more UNRRA team members are
in training or enroute. Forty per
cent have been recruited in the
western hemisphere, the remaining
sixty per cent are Europeans.
The teamns work at Displaced
Persons Assembly Centers where
the millions of people who have
been uprooted from their homes by
Nazi aggression are given every
posible aid in retruning to their
cwn countries as quickly as possi-
ble. The displaced persons going
through the centers are first de-
lcused with DDT powder, the mi-
raculous insecticide which kills the
typhus carrying lice, Then they are
given clothing food, a medical ex-
amination and ,when needed, hos-
pitalization for special medical
treatment or surgery. Those not in
need of special care are grouped in
the camp, given their first meal,
then issued clothes, soap, blankets
and feeding utensils. After being
checked by an allied liason officer
as to nationality, they are given
trasportation as quickly as possi-
ble back to their homes.
Within the camp itself, the
UNRRA welfare officer faces a
bewildering task. After provision
of food, clothes and medical at-
tention, the next problem is how
to restore to these people their
sense of decency, personal dignity
and worth. “Welfare” has to cover
for more than merely providing oc-
cupation for minds and hands while
these people wait to go home. It
must provide for religious services
outdoor concerts, recreation, spe-
cial child care and even the solu-
tions of difficult legal problems
such as the right of displaced per-
sons to marry, to divorce, to adopt
children.
In addition to the management
of displaced persons services in
Germany, into the devastated ar-
eas of Greeck Yugoslavia, Czecho-
slovakia, Poland and Italy UNRRA
ur until June 30 had shipped over
a quarter of a billion dollars worth
of sorely needed supplies—food,
clething, medical supplies, farm
and industrial equipment. Among
the contributing nations are num-
bered Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Cu-
ba, Canada, Australia, New Zeal-
and, the United States and the
[United Kingdom. UNRRA’s pro-
gram for the remaining moths of
the year calls for more than three
Dispaced |
Persons Division in Germany. Dan-
times the amounts alread sent, pro-
vided the supplies and shipping
are made available by the undivid-
ed United Nations.
Before coming to UNRRA, Dan-
drea served three years in the U, 8.
‘Army. He received his B. S. and
| M. S. degrees from Temple Uni-
| versity.
MANY TUBERCULOSIS
PATIENTS. WAITING
Nearly 300 persons afflicted with
tuberculosis, some of them men
rejected for military service, must
wait indefinitely for admittance to
one of the three commonwealth
sanatoriums because of a critical
personnel shortage, the State De-
[partment of Health discloses.
| The institutions—at Hamburg,
Mt. Alto and Cresson—are able to
accommodate 3,300 patients, but
cnly 2,408 now are receiving treat-
ment, with a waiting list of 300,
said Dr. J. Moore Campbell, de-
puty department head.
Many dociors, nurses and atten-
dants have entered the armed for-
ces, or left for other positions, 1t
was pointed out by Dr. Campbell,
making it impossible to treat the
capacity number of patients. In
addition there is a desperate short-
age of kitchen help.
“I don’t see how we will be able
to relieve the situation until the
war is over unless medical men are
discharged from the service,” Dr.
Campbell said. “More than enough
idie beds are available to take care
of the waiting list, which could
be wiped out over night if the per-
sonnel were available.”
Admissions are made according
to seriousness of the individual's
cendition and the length of time on
the waiting lst, Campbell said.
Despite this handicap and the
continual shifting of population
promoted by war conditions, Cam-
phell revetled the number of per-
sons afflicted with the disease, and
the mortality rate decreased, and
that conditions in general through-
out the commonwealth were ‘very
good.”
The department is concerned
particularly about several thous-
and men rejected by the army for
lung conditions, Campbell reveal-
ed, but he added that in “50 per
cent of the cases turned down for
this ailment, we could not find
sufficient cause to warrant clinic
treatment.”
“Army standards are high,” he
continued, “hence many men in
apparant good health are rejected
because of the risk element rather
than infection.”

EXTENSION COMMITTEES
ADVISE WAR VETERANS
As a part of the agricultural ex-
tension program in 66 Pennsylva-
nia counties, committees have been
set up to advise World War II vet-
erans on farm problems, H. G.
Niesley, assistant director of ag-
ricultural extension at the Penn-
sylvania State College announces.
One of the valuable services of
the committee is to consel with ve-
terans on the purchase of farms.
In such cases the veteran is refer-
red to the advisory committee
member in the community where
the returned serviceman plans to
locate.
Cabbage Good in Rolls
Or With a Cheese Sauce
By BETSY NEWMAN
IF you have a little meat left on
Monday, you can make a cabbage
roll and finish it up in that tasty
. way, or you can cook cabbage and
serve it with a cheese sauce. Don’t
remind me that cheese takes red
points too, and you can’t buy it
because all your points are taken
for the little meat, butter, mar-
garine, lard or cooking oil you get.
I know!

A FREE COUNTRY
This is a free country.
Sure it is—but free for what?
It is free for work. No man has
to be what his father was before
him. No man has to work where
his father worked. In time of em- |
ergency we may voluntarily reg- |
ulate our manpower but it is done |
under the laws we ourselves made,
which are to be abrogated when
the need is over.
It is free for knowledge. No man
need stay ignorant if he has the]
will to learn. The history of the]
country has proven that. Of course |
there are differences in education- |
al opportunities—but the man who |
truly wants to learn, who is will-
ing to work at the job of getting |
ahead, can do so. To man need re- |
main ignorant.
It is free for courtesy. Where |
each man is counted as one, there |
need be no servile scraping nor
condescending nod. Each man nl
free to accord to every other man
the same courtesies of behavior to
| bound by the same rules and reg- |
| incorrupt, and loyal to the finest
It is free for friendliness. We |
are all equals under the law, and |
|
ulations. We can therefore accord |
the comradeship of citizenry to our |
neighbor, regardless of his class, |
creed or color. |
It is free for integrity. No man!
wears the yoke of another. No
slave. Each man can stand alone—
ideals.
It is free for thought. The unfet-
tered mind of man is the secret of
the advancement of the nation.
Here no man need be told what to
think or when to think it. He
blows not too hot or cold as he is
ordered. He can be for or against
and, provided he keeps to the law
of the land—that self-made law of
free men—he can think and act as
he pleases.
It is free for belief. No man
need worship, nor not worship at
the behest of his master. Each man
is responsible ‘to his own consci-
| which he himself is entitled. It ence and to his own concept of
| takes but one person to be polite. | God. Strong in his faith, he
can
stand or fall by what he believes.
His beliefs are his own.
This is a free country—founded
upon freedom and free to grow
with the times to a newer and fi-
ner fulfillment of the law of liber-
ty—which is the law of righteous-
ness.

[man is bound to another as his | PENN STATE ECONOMIST
EXPECTS PRICE DECLINE
Prices of farm products eventu-
ally will decline, and when they
fall they will go down more than |
prices on things which farmers
must buy, G. W. Hedlund, head of
agricultural economics at the Penn |
State College, declares. While ab-
rupt changes are not in prospect,
lower prices of farm products have
been the rule following every ma-
jor war in which the United States
has participated.
A period of general business ac-
tivity probably will follow this war
as after World War I, during
which agricultural products should
be in good demand, Dr. Hedlund
believes. Ceiling prices are under
| Federal control, and prices of the |
| farm produce are not likely to go
higher. At the same time, price
supports may prevent severe de-
clines for the present, and Cong-
ress has provided for their con-
| tinuance for two years following
| the war. :
|
| Nevertheless, Dr. Hedlund ex-
| plains, considerable declines are |
under the present |
| possible even
| law, and farmers should not for-
| get that more agricultural pro-
| ducts probably will be produced in
| America after the war than during
| the period immediately preceding
| it. What effect high production
| will have on prices when wartime
| demand ceases is a question no one
| can answer right now, the Penn
| State economist says. Congress
| may find price supports too expen-
sive to continue even for two years
and may change the law.
A fairly complete discussion of
current agricultural price relation-
ships is to be found in the latest
issue of Pennsylvania Farm Econ-
cmics. This publication is issued
by the Pennsylvania Agricultural
Extension Service and may be ob-
tained free of charge.
CHERRY CROP.
Production of sweet cherries in |
Pennsylvania this year is indicat- |
ed to be 800 tons compared to 2,- |
200 tons in 1944, according to a
recent survey by the Federal-State |
Crop Reporting Service, State De- |
Sour |
partment of Agriculture.
cherries will total approximately
3,700 tons in 1945, a severe drop
from the 9,000 tons produced last
year.
Sprays Kill Poison Ivy.
Chemical weed killers sprayed on
poison ivy kill these noxious plants
and save inconvenience and dis-
comfort to farm and orchard wor-
kers, says J. L. Mecartney, ex-
tension fruit specialist of the Penn-
sylvania State College.

Poison weeds, including water

tle or other livestock are to be
| spared from possible poisoning, say

| ists.
