Twenty-five states are in- volved. There is something about the destruction of food, in the face of hunger, that seems’ criminal to us. One bright note flashed through the airways on tele- vision Wednesday morning. Instead of flooding the milk down the drain from tank trucks, half-gallon containers of milk were being distributed free of charge to people who needed food. The screen showed small children clasping cardboard containers and streaking happily for home. There is no doubt that milk production is facing a losing battle. Farm help is difficult to find. The wage of yesterday, a dollar a day and “found,” is so far back in history that few young people have ever heard of it. It is a vicious cycle. The price of milk will be forced up because the pro- ducer cannot afford to maintain a herd at present prices. Consumers wil] find that they can get along with less milk. With lessened demand, producers will find their milk going begging. And along will come the chemists, inventing a sub- stitute, fortified with A-B-C and X-Y-Z. More and more herds will be dispersed, and pleasant pasture land will revert to the soil bank. . Maintaining an economic balance takes skillful jug- gling. ¥ ¥ ¥ What Is News? ‘What is news? News is what your neighbor is doing, what your community is doing, what you are doing. i The newspaper does not make the news, it reports the news. If you are injured in an accident, the Dallas: Post will make every attempt to get the story straight. It will not always succeed, for every observer sees the accident from a slightly different angle. ~~ A nurse or a doctor will see that you are breathing poorly and that you show signs of collapse. A high school boy standing by, will see the color and make of your car. (And boy, was she GOING!) The driver of the car which you have just passed at high speed will exaggerate that speed by twenty miles an hour. The driver of the car you have been following will testify that your car was not exceeding the speed limit, because he himself is going at a good clip, and to say that you were making seventy in a fifty-mile zone would in- criminate him. It is next to impossible to accumulate, from bits and - pieces, exactly what happened. If you were taking benzedrine to keep awake, you are not apt to mention it. If you had a fight with your husband before leaving the house, and are flogging the car along to get the rage out of your system, you are not apt to mention that, either. You will have a considerable time to cool off, there on the icy pavement. rw You are making the news. =~ SL History Of Famous People On Loan able at the library in Dallas for | several months and will then bel Young people visiting the Back Mountain Memorial Library in Dallas It Happened 30 Years Ago A tax on chain stores was opposed by farmers, customers, and store | personnel.

It works out about like this: The phone rings and a righteous voice intones, “You can just cancel my subscription!” “Glad to. How about your name and address?” “Now, don’t you bother about my name and address. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT STORY ?” “What story ?” : “Don’t let's play games. You know good and well what sto “I'm trying. Was it the one about the scrap on Honeymoon Heights, where the cops barged in and settled the argument? Won- der how he's getting along?” ; “No, it wasn’t. It was about that baby at Burning Brook.” “Could you give me just a hint? ‘I can’t very well cancel your subscription unless I know who's talkin.” “You just go ahead and cancel it. You don't HAVE to know who's talking.” : “It would be easier if we didn't have to cancel out everybody. People. resent having their Dallas Post stopped without warning.” “Well, that story’s all wrong. It's my niece, and she couldn't possibly have a baby. She’s only been married six months.” “Oh, THAT baby. Nice big baby, eight and a half pounds. She and her mother are doing fine.” : “It's a lie, the whole thing. They've only been married, etc ete.” “Well now, let's see, Mrs. Hmmm, seems to me that about twenty years ago . . . or was that your sister?” “Well, I'think you're pretty fresh, and how do you know any- thing about it anyhow?” “Things do get around out here in the sticks. Now keep your shirt on. We carried a nice story on your niece's wedding, and she’s married and everything, so it’s all strictly legal. What's the com- plaint ? This one is a very nice baby, just as nice as...” A smothered yowl from the other end of the line, and the click of the receiver being hung up with emphasis. Five minutes later: A. subdued voice, striving for control: “Couldn’t you have said it was premature ?”’ yg “Now lookit, Mrs. Hmmm, it would have been agin nature. ¥4 it weighed eight and a half pounds when three months premature, I'd hate to think of what it would have looked like if it had gone full term. Probably had long grey whiskers.” “Well, ‘what's the world coming to, anyhow?” “The same place it’s always been, boy meets girl. And out here in the country, with all this fresh air and whatnot, and with the birds and’ the bees working overtime. it isn’t too surprising. ‘And you'd be ‘astonished at how many babies happen practically overnight, with the groom still picking bird-shot out of his pants. By the time the. second baby arrives, things have settled down a bit, and it takes nine full months.” “Well, I'm never going to even LOOK at'it. The idea! My niece.” Ten minutes of blessed silence, a period filled with sharpening of copy ‘pencils and sorting of the morning mail, The phone, and a jubilant voice: GAR “Wanted you 'to be first to know. They're going to name that baby after its old ‘Auntie. Isn't that the sweetest thing 7” A fleeting and unworthy thought that this set of parents knows which side its bread is buttered on, and which relative can be counted upon for a sterling silver christening mug. “That's marvelous: You going down to see it this morning ?”’ “Of course. : Try and stop me.” ; “Well now, how about that subscription? I don’t think your name can be taken off the list for this week. the paper’salreddy been mailed out. But we'll get it off next week for sure. it RD 1 of RD 2? : “Are you nuts? Whatcha mean, take my name off the list? How could anybody out here live without the Dallas Post ?” . And so it goes. . Live through Thursday morning, and then y can sharpen your claws for the next issue. There's always something, if you can keep your strength.
