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-

suiting from unsound agricul
tural subsidies.
TT WILL be relatively easy
to start. 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.
