NEW YORK 1, N. . BE.Ijf El V. 1 S' " In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Here in southern Oregon two counties,, Klamath and Josephine, are undertaking a novel feed-the-hungry pro gram. What is it, basically? It's a plan to get the most for needy people at the least possible cost. It is based on the fact that this nation (for better or worse) has on hand the BIGGEST ACCUMULAT ED STORE OF FOOD SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN. It seems a pity to let this vast store of food go to waste -or to dump it abroad at give away prices. So, with the com mon sense that historically has characterized our area, these two counties are seeking to keep down the cost of dis tribution of this food to those who need it to help tide them over the present (temporary, we hope) breakdown of the normal machinery of produc tion, distribution and con sumDtion that is resulting in decreased employment. rpHIS is the plan; The food will come from federal surplus stocks presumably in Portland and or Salem. It will be shipped in carload or truckload units to hold down the transporta tion cost. The counties will pay the freight. The foods will come in bulk -by which is meant BIG pack ages. It will be stored in a county warehouse. Here it will be repackaged in indi vidual amounts. The repack aging will be done by those on work welfare, jail trusties, etc.-aided, if need be, by vol unteer workers. AS A KEY point of the plan, recipients entitled to the food will be invited to COME AND GET IT. Which is to say3, it won't be delivered except in the unusual cases where it can't be come for and carried home. It will be assumed that in every neighborhood or block there will be automobile own erships sufficient to COME for the food. Needy families can double up on autos, or other forms of transport. Neighbors can take turns in use of cars. If necessary, gas oline rations will be provided for the trips to the food warehouse. THE job of apportioning the food to the recipients will be done in the warehouse as much as possible with volun teer help. Those who come for it will be expected to help in getting their share together and into the means of trans port. The food will be distributed in basic form - flour, corn meal, beans, potatoes, dried milk, dried eggs, etc. I he preparation and cooking will be done at home. Thus recipi ents of the food will be help ing to the extent of their abil ity to hold down the cost of this help that is provided in time of trouble. THE project should meet with the aDDroval of all sensible people, including thnsp whn will hp recipients of the assistance. The basic purpose will be to get as much food as possible to as manv needv DeoDle as possi ble at as little cost as possible. in a nation puriea unaer mountains of sumlus basic foods and at least temporarily afflicted witn unemployment it makes sense. IN CONCLUSION, a word of Warning. Care must be taken to see to it that this is an EMER GENCY device, designed for use in times of unusual need. It mustn't be allowed to be come a permanent dole, as were the bread and circuses of the later Roman Empire. Nor must it be permitted to be looked upon FROM THE TOP as a convenient device to GET RID of food surpluses re- Counsel With . . . Mr. Insurance Fred Brennan Fred R. Brennan, C.I. A.

It will be much more difficult to GET RID OF when the emergency ends. That has been the trouble in the case of the agricultural subsidies that resulted in the present mountainous sur pluses. The original subsidies, which were designed to IN CREASE FOOD PRODUC TION IN WARTIME, were sound in purpose. But When the war ended, and abnormal needs for food no longer existed, the subsidies should have ended. Instead, the politicians refused to end them, hoping by their contin uance to corral the farm vote permanently. The politicians will still be with us when the present re cession need comes to an end. We must see to it that when the recession ends food distri bution plans are not permitted to go on and on and on as a vote-buying device. Honest Man Can't Decide on Oder Los Angeles -(UPD- Douglas William Johnson, 50, is hav ing a hard time deciding what kind of reward he wants for turning $240,000 in unmarked bills over to its rightful own er. The unemployed , janitor said he would announce to day whether he will accept an unusual offer made by Brinks of a steady $90-a-week job and a scholarship for his 16-year-old son, Richard. Brinks officials offered the reward Saturday, the day after Johnson found the bag full of money which had tumbled from a Brinks arm ored car. The officials wanted to re ward such honesty, saying they could use a man like Johnson as a guard. Johnson, after taking the week end to consider the offer, met with Brinks of ficials for an hour Monday but at the end of the confer ence said he still had not come to a decision. Although neither the com pany nor Johnson said any thing about a cash reward as an alternative to a job and scholarship, such an offer ap parently was made and was causing Johnson's hesitation.
