when the depres sion was at its peak must it take a war every time to shake people out of an apathy to which they vuorumb so eatily some people think it will be time enough to worry about after- war conditions when the war is won olivers say we need assurance that the freedom we are ktrlilng to save shall in better than the freedom rf preunr days i think thou in the latter class are right x alto think want tohknow our own minds as to i what wxial security should cover i agriculture is getting its share of i the spotlight and about time be fore this war is over im thinking that jtcople as a whole will realize that former are try important in the scheme of things and maybe the time will come when farmers will come into their own i don t think cny farmer or his family minds hard ork but i do think they resent it if financial returns make it impossible for them to enjoy the convenience and pleasures of their fellow men in other walks of life in the meantime it is storming again which after all is nothing new january had its problems tor this dis trict our institute was putting on a special drive to see how much war work could be done and it was up to me to c supplies to the
