We may have our troubles at home with high prices, which are still rising, hut we dd not have hunger as may be seen at every turn in Europe, including England. During war years, when many were away in defense of this country, there seemed times when it was stretching the imagination to re count blessings for which we might offer our thanks. That has passed, but results of war are ever-present just the same. There seems times that the United Nations organization is standing still—getting nowhere at all. However, We may rest assured that as long as any nation is willing to sit in confer ence, war is still some distance away. These United States, in 1947, produced one of history’s bumper crops.
