Weakened by Long Years of Malnutrition
World's Children Now Fight Disease
Crusade for Children
Is Effort to Relieve
Millions in Distress
It Is not enough that a child Is
hungry.
He must also be sick, 11 he Is to
receive relief feeding in Europe.
That Is what it comes down to,
when you do not have enough
food to go around
The emblem is not to feed the
hungry but to feed the hungriest
of the hungry. Selection or wnicn
hunm-v child shall be fed is made
on the basis of need. Many times
need is determined by a doctor's
certificate
This is the grim factual situa
tion confronting relief agencies
serving the starving children
abroad. It is highlighted in a re

spring Meanwhile, starvation is
an Increasing reality to half the
children of the world. It is in
errasina because:
Czechoslovakia had no ram for
seven months last year, and as a
consequence, farm animals were
slaughtered for lack of feed, and
the milk and food shortage is
rritical
France, too, suffered drought,
with the same resultant slaughter
of animals, shortage of milk and
cut In bread rations
Greek political conflict has
caused difficulties in supply, while
long-term malnutrition shows in
rickets, tuberculosis and stunted
growth of the childrea
In Italy, poverty is everywhere,
the children ragged and barefoot
and without milk. Last stocks of
milk are being used up for the
leeoing or iuu.uuu orpnan cnii'

Poland still shows the terrible
destruction of war, streets still
piled high with fragments of
homes, farms devastated, food in
adequate, and tuberculosis a severe
threat to the children.
Two-thirds of the children of
war countries suffer from tuber
culosis.
Millions of these suffer other
diseases of malnutrition.
Many are literally starving.

3,500,000 and 4,000,000 children a
minimum daily 600-calorie meal
which means the difference be
tween life and death. In those
countries alone, there are 60,
000,000 children who are equally
in need of this life-saving daily
meal half the size of an Ameri
can school lunch but cannot get
it because neither their own gov
ernments nor the United Nations
International Children's Emer
gency Fund have the resources to
provide it
This means that for every child
who receives the survival-ration
supplied by arrangement between
his government and the Children's
Fund, 15 children stand in a spec
tral line of starvation behind him.
The brightest outlook is that the
situation will get far worse before
it gets better.
Its only chance for getting bet
ter lies in immediate, generous,
voluntary assistance.
America's channel for that assis
tance is the Crusade for Children
of Ar-erican Overseas Aid-United
Natijni Appeal for Children.
This cornbined campaign rep
resents the United States' share in
the . "rid-wide United Nations
Appeal asking voluntary contri
butions for the International Chil
dren's Emergency Fund, together
with the appeals of America's
major voluntary foreign relief
agencies.
Forty-five nations of the world
are cooperating in the United Na
tions Appeal. Nations which are
too impoverished to collect money
through the UN Appeal for the
Children's Fund are sending prod
ucts such as desperately needed
fish, cod liver oil, clothing.
Of the $60,000,000 goal of the
American campaign, more than 70
per cent has been allocated to
foreign relief projects directly
aiding children, and the balance
to activities helping children in
directly. Contributions of money from
Americans, which will be con
verted into food for the hungry,
medicine for the sick, clothing for
the naked and shelter for the
homeless, may be given to local
campaign committees in commu
nities where they have been
formed, or sent directly to na

Most Home Fires
Said Caused By
Heating Systems
Baby diapers and other clothing
hang up to dry beside an over
heated stove have a top priority
on the list of wavs of how to burn
down your house, Charles R. Ross,
O.S.C. extension forester, has
learned from the state fire mar
shal's office.
Rural or farm homes face the
greatest danger from fire, Ross
adds, since immediate help from
fire departments or neighbors is
usually not close at hand when
the emergency arises. One way or
another, heating systems are re
sponsible for the majority of
home fire losses.

ihe number of fatalities in home
fires this year is disturbing. His
statement is emphasized most
tragically by a recent fire in Linn
coimiy. There, five persons were
killed in a home which burned at
night. Specific reasons for that
fire cannot be given; however,
evidence pointed to several pos
sibilities which are all too often
duplicated in other homes. A
wood stove loaded just before the
family went to bed or an unat
tended trash burner may have
been the cause of the disaster.
Ross believes that rural people
do not pay enough attention to
fire prevention. Ranking second
to the home heating system as a
"house burner," he lists careless
habits of smokers, the use of gas
oline to wash clothing in enclos
ed rooms, inflammable liquids
used near open flames, improper
electrical fust's, ashes stored in
cardboard boxes and dried leaves
and moss on roofs as important
causes of home fires.
If these fire hazards are either
Crop Production
Outlook Reported
Favorable By OSC
The odds are favorable for the
nation's principal crops this year,
according to current crop and
weather reports summarized by
L. R. Breithaupt, Oregon State
college extension economist,
stantially greater as the output of
stantially greate, as the output of
corn, oats and . other feed grains
might be 15 to 20 percent higher.
Wheat production is expected to
be perhaps one-fifth less, yet
more than a billion bushels.
The Pacific Northwest wheat
crop is expected to be exception-
ally large, but this is offset some
j what by poor grain crop prospects
in California, the principal dom
estic market for Oregon wheat.
There will be need again for
much United States wheat over
seas in 1948-49. The supply for
export will be smaller, however
than the record-breaking ship
ments this season, yet, probably
much in excess of the United
States quota under the proposed
international wheat agreement,
the extension economist con
cludes. The wheat agreement will be
come effective August 1, provided
enough of the 36 governments
concerned ratify it in the mean
time. The exports from three
countries must total not less than
500 million bushels a year for
five years; and 33 countries
would agree to import not less
than this quantity from the three
exporting nations. Additional ex
ports and imports could be made
under the agreement, however.
Under the terms of the agree
ment the importing countries
must pay a minimum price in
1948-49, equivalent to not less
than $1.45 12 a bushel, basis
No. 1 soft white at Pacific coast
ports. The United States would be
bound to sell at Pacific coast
ports at not to exceed $2.00 a bu
shel for a five-year period; but
the minimum price importing na
tions must pay would be 10 cents
a bushel less, each year.
The United States exports quo
ta is set at 185 million bushels
Canada 230 million, and Aus
tralia 85 million. Russia and Ar
gentina are imporatnt wheat ex
porting nations not parties to the
agreement, although provision is
made for additional members.
The United Kingdom is the
principal importing nation under
the agreement Others with the
larger quotas are Italy, France,
The Netherlands, Belgium, Aus
tria, Greece, Brazil, India and
China.
