Telling the Editor
(Continued from page two)
shouldn't it be consumed? “Serve
a famine meal twice a week.”
Why? It might cut down house
bills, and boost trade at the Side,
but it won’t feed the people of
Europe. As far as its being a
graphic demonstration of what
our starving allies are going
through, I know I have been a lot
hungrier several times during the
past three years, and so have the
rest of the returning service men,
than after eating the prescribed
starvation meal. “Don't buy beer
or whiskey.” Did it ever occur to
whoever wrote that that there is
a process of aging that goes on in
these beverages, and that the
wheat used in them was harvested
some years ago. As sensible a
solution would be for the liquor
commission to sell nothing but
Canadian Club and Haig and Haig,
so the US wheat and grain could
be used elsewhere. (The more I
read that last sentence over the
better it sounds.)
My whole point is that as long
as they have made up their minds
to feed the starving people of the
world, why don’t they go ahead
and do it, from the producer's end
instead of all this foolishness from
the consumer’s angle. As long as
the food is abundant on the gro
cer’s shelves, people will buy it,
and if it becomes scarce, they will
understand why. gripe a little, and
get along as before. I fail to see
how boycotting Safeway’s is going
to feed a hungry world in the next
90 days. Maybe you can explain
it.
Just one other question. Assum
ing this food is shipped to Europe
and Asia, how will it be distribut
ed ? Will it go to retail and whole
salers in foreign countries, or will
it be distributed by such organiza
tions as the Red Cross? The rea
son I ask is that I know, as do
all the servicemen who have seen
these countries, and black market
systems, that if it goes to foreign

Maybe you’ve thought of the Bell
” Telephone System as using only
wires. It uses and pioneers in
radio too.
Radio waves are used to carry->
your voice across the seas to tele
phones in other lands . . . across
water barriers here at home... to
vessels plying inland waters and
to ships out at sea. And before too
long, radio links will provide tele
phone service for cars and trucks.
Radio relay systems that will
carry long distance messages from
city to city are now in the advanced
experimental stage.
In every case the Bell System
uses the kind of transmission, wire
or radio, that provides the best
service for the most people.

the people who are in need of ii.
Have you any information along
this line?
