It Is one of the greatest tragedies or our time. Yet, shortly atter World War II, their number was 79 million. The free peoples of the world made homes for most of them. The United Press has prepared two stories on the world refugee problem. The first of the dispatches follows. By ALBIN KREBS United Press Correspondent Grange News Central Point Grange Open house for Grangers and friends was- held Friday night, starting with a potluck supper at 6:30 with Mrs. w H. Arnold, serving commit'ee chairman, in charge. While getting the members assembled upstairs a mixer - was conducted by Mrs. Ar nold Bohnert. The p rjo g r a m was an nounced by Mrs. Otto Nieder meyer, in the absence of Lec turer Mrs. Gaston Floux, and included the following num bers: a comedy skit by Mrs. Rose Peacock, and W. H. Ar nold; inspirational reading on Lincoln, Mrs. Chester Wendt; three vocal numbers by Mrs. Effie Kirk with Eva Marsh, accompanying, the songs in keeping with Valentine's day; a speech by Mrs. Arnold Bohnert, who is a contestant in the toastmistress speak-off . at the Toastmistress club Feb. 28. The subject was The Di minishing Plan, which won first for Mrs. Bohnert over a group of five in a recent con test; two relay contest num bers conducted by Mrs. John Bohnert and Mrs. Bert Caster; recreation by Benton Boyce closed the evening's entertain- j ment with many expressions of satisfaction for a real good time in spite of the small crowd and pouring down rain. ; The only regret was that I the officers did not get notice of the county Grange visita-' tiorw at Lake Creek Grange, ' until after plans for Open House were made.

Publicity Chairman. New York (IP) One of the most tragic chapters m the history of the past half-cen tury is written in tears, blood and misery of more than 148 million persons uprooted and driven from their homelands by war or political, racial and economic oppression. The melancholy figure of the refugee is not a new sight to the eyes of mankind, for his history goes back at least as far as the great exodus of the Jews from Egypt'. But it is in the past- 50-odd years, with their massive wars and revolutionary political up heavals, that the refugee pop ulation of the world has swol len with alarming and pitiable speed. Experts concerned with the refugee problem say there is no doubt the refugee problem of modern times is all out of proportion to those of the past. They cite as a major rea son the fact that today's con quered peoples have - the means of transportation need ed to escape oppression, while their forebears were simply forced to make the best of the presence of their oppressors. Another Factor Another factor is that mod ern man, having lived freely, will choose voluntary flight rather than relinquish his freedoms. This works two ways, for in literally millions of cases, persons who clung to unpopular political, religi ous and racial background have been forced to flee their homelands on pain of death. Whether it is for any of these reasons, or simply man's basic will to live that has driven millions to seek refuge in foreign lands and among strangers, the fact is that the plight of the refugees has been a great problem political ly, economically and morally for the free people of the world. It is upon the free people that the responsibility has fallen to either integrate the newcomers into their own cul tures, resettle them else where, or send them back from whence they came. The modern world's refugee problem began shortly after the turn of the century. By the time World War I was over, more than five million persons had been forced by war or oppression to flee then- homelands. These included 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 Armenians who escaped mas sacre in Turkey, a million re fugees from the Balkan wars and more than 3Vss million persons uprooted by World War I. Most of these were repatriated or resettled in Eu- the United States : and Australia. A New Class In 1918, a new class of the homeless the political ref ugees - came on the scene. More than 1,500,000 Russians fled the Bolshevik revolution. An additional 500,000 Turks. Armenians and Greeks also were banished from the Com munists' new world. Post- World War I treaties account ed for displacement of 6V2 million people in Turkey, the Balkans and Upper Europe. For years, these refugees surged back and forth across borders, thousands to return to thejr homelands, others to give up hope of ever return ing. France accepted and in tegrated 400,000 Russians and the rest were resettled in 46 other countries, Manchuria. The modern-day refugee has his own bitter system of counting time before Hitler and after Hitler. Before the war that Hitler wrought was over, more than 79 million persons in Europe and Asia became displaced, were trans ferred to slave labor camps, or were able to escape in the wake of the advancing tanks and roaring artillery. Of this number, six million Jews were mercilessly slaugh tered in concentration camps. Of the 73 millions remaining, about half were slave laborers and civilians uprooted by battle who eventually found their ways back home. In the postwar period, those who remained homeless swell- including; ed to more than 57 million in Europe, Russia, Asia and the By BETTE HOSKINS Jacksonville City Record er Mrs. Jean Hewlett an nounced this week that resi dents here may register at Chris' Drug store on Mondays between 4 and 6 p.m. when she will be there, unless oth erwise notified.

Still More And still the one-way tide of the homeless and uprooted washes in. In the past few weeks, alone, 300,000 Dutch residents have been forced to leave Indonesia. Annually, more than 250,000 East Ger mans flee the Iron Curtain. In the last three months of 1957, Italy and Austria re ceived nearly 6,000 refugees from a new source Yugosla via. At least 15,000 more are expected from Yugoslavia this year. Hundreds of refugees daily pour in from the Chinese mainland to Formosa and Hong Kong, and in Hong Kong alone, nearly a million live in the squalor of card board huts or caves, with little or no hope for resettle ment. Their plight is similar to that of the 900,000 Pale- I stine Arabs whose fate awaits a political settlement in the Middle East. It is these people, the unset tled, unrepatriated, unintega ted and despairing 17 million plus that the free world must, somehow, assimilate. It has been able to do that in the case of millions in the past and now searches for a means of doing so again.
