Jectlon One -- Page Eight THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, March 24, 1966 ! Millions of persons who inhabit this world are threatened this year with hunger and starvation. Indeed, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, two-thirds of the eWorld's population resid'ng in Asia, Africa and Central and South America have nutritionlly inadequate diets. With our S. ability to produce food in abundance, it seems entirely Appropriate to develop a plan where by we can "sell" our Abundance abroad in order that these hungry millions may be |ed. f The plan described as "Food f6r Freedom" would seek to Convert agricultural surpluses from a glut on the market to ah economic benefit for the farmers, and the taxpayers. In place of sales of wheat, rice, ietc., for "local currencies" ( w h i c h c a n b e s p e n t within the country benefited), ihe sales of most surplus agricultural goods would be for cash. Although the cash sale toould be at a reduced price. It would be conditioned on the purchasing nation's demonstration of self-help. Self-help could include such factors as (a) adoption of modern agricultural techniques, (b) expanded use of fertilizers, and;;(c) steps designed to control population. . The Food for Freedom plan .would permit expansion of American agriculture to take care of the rising world demand for food products. The p l a n w o u l d a l s o r e l e a s e t h e government and the farm community from the burden of much idle land. Durihg the current year, for example, it is proposed to permit soybean production on 80 per cent of a farmer's acreage allotment instead of a mere 30 per cent of such acreage as at present. The Food for Freedom plan is not entirely new. The wellknown PL 480 passed in 1951 at the urging of former President Eisenhower is the forerunner of the new plan. It was part of President Eisenhower's "Food for Peace" program under which many millions of hungry citizens around the world have been fed. While American food production continues to increase in terms of our nation's population, many of the less-developed nations have actually suffered a decline in. per capita production. In such populous countries as Nigeria, Egypt and Pakistan, crop output has failed to keep pace with population growth. These and other countries need not only food-- they need also to know (1) how to increase their agricultural optput, and (2) how to hold down their population growth. However, it appears that a high degree of realism to surplus food policy has been PREVALENCE OF HEART DISEASE AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE IN U.S. la MMition tt tlii 14,621,000 Americans with definite heart disease, and tin 6,992,000 with high blood pressure (hypertension), there are 12,979,000 others with "suspect heart disease*" ALL OTHER 31 683,000 6,902,000 HEART AND BLOOD VESSEL DISEASES are not only responsible for more than 54 per Cent of all deaths in the United States each year but also afflict more Americans than any other cause.

The study did not cover-persons suffering from the after-effects of stroke, one of the major forms of heart and.blood vessel disease. You can help in the fight against the Number One health enemy by giving generously to the Heart Fund. adopted in the present proposal. The philosophy of the pending legislation would be to stockpile substantial quantities of agricultural goods. However, these stockpiles would not be released to depress local market prites (as has so frequently been the practice in the past). The stockpiles Would be available to market abroad --at the best prices obtainable in currencies which our nation might use in promoting the national welfare. Other provisions in the Food for Freedom bill will permit emergency shipments of surplus food supplies to disaster areas. However, the main emphasis of the new proposal is selfhelp. Under, developed countries which are earnestly try ing to improve the agricultural and economic lot of their citizens will find the new proposal to their advantage. Legislation aimed at carrying out the Food for Freedom program is pending before the House Agriculture committee. It is expected to come to the floor of the U. S. House of Representatives later this month--for action. COLOR GUARD CONTEST NEXT SUNDAY IN CITY (Continued from Page 1> Legion auxiliary and third place by the Viscounts Parents association.

The stern word of an officer might prompt a little attention to the fact that thoroughfares are used for more than the pleasure of bicycle riders. Since questions always arise in reference to blacktopping roads in subdivisions, a meeting took place recently between the county zoning committee of the board of supervisors and township road commissioners. It was suggested by the commissioners that all roads in future subdivisions be made to meet MFT requirements even though they are short thoroughfares which may not be used in the immediate future. Agreement came from the committee and changes are to be made. Apparently everyone was not ware of the contrast between last Thursday's St. Patrick's day and the one a'year previous. But those who had particular difficulty digging out of the 1965 snow storm (some without electricity for a time) remembered and decided that this year of 1966 St. Patrick must be smiling his happiest as warm breezes brought the temperatures of the day to a near record. Here in the Plaindealer office the true spirit of the Irish^prevailed, and how could it have been otherwise with a Sullivan in .our midst? Even the non- Iri<*h enjoyed the be&trtiful bouquet of green-tinted carnations presented to Marie Sullivan /Yegge by Co-worker Marcella Larson. Fond memories of St. Patrick's Day will remain with those of us who gratefully tipped our hat in greeting not pnly to the memory of the ^ood saint but also to welcome a preview of spring. It is interesting to note that in a period of such tremendous strides in medicine, as well as in other fields, the armed forces turned again to quinine recently when certain newly found strains of malaria proved resistant to the synthetic drugs. Indicative of the zooming demand for quinine is the fact that the price has jumped more than five times over the levels of a year ago. One factor in the growing shortage is that Indonesia, previously the world's greatest producer, has cut down most of its quinineproducing trees to make way for other crops. There has been a rising incidence of malaria in South Viet Nam, cases which have Queen Cpntesi Entries Will Open March 25 (Continued form Page 1) Nam from talent in the area. Originators of the idea chose to highlight the entire project by naming a representative mother to accompany the troupe. Her selection will be made known soon. Mrs. Smith, well known for her singing ability, will entertain with the type of songs for which she is so well known locally. Mrs. Gardiner, a tal ented dancer, will be featured in that capacity.

The programs will be cli maxed on Apr/l 16 with a benefit show at West Campus theatre, Waukegan, where some of the money necessary for thr trip is expected to be raised. Among those giving hearty sup port to the program are U.S Senator Paul Douglas and U.S Rep. Robert McClory. In addition to the stay in Viet Nam, the entertainers will also appear in Guam and Ok inawa, in rest areas and hospitals. They expect to be gone about two weeks, with Moth ers Day, May 8. to be spent in the Asian war area. .Prior to leaving the country, various members will appear on the Lee Phillips program (April 15) in Chicago and the Art Linkletter show in Lqs Angeles.
