Before investing, investi-
gate--especially if you’re con­
sidering a freezer food plan.
Although the majority of firms
offering these plans are legiti­
mate, a few use unethical pra­
ctices.
These plans usually offer a
freezer plus an agreed-upon
amount of frozen food. Check
prices of comparable freezers
at local appliance dealers. Also
check into the price, types and
quality of food to be supplied.
Read ajl of the contract and ask
questions before you sign.
The Federal Trade Commis­
sion reports several types of
deceptive practices regarding
claims on savings, quality and
quantity
of food provided,

Don’t the people of
today devote untold hours at­
tentively listening to a box?
The forces of this box, tele­
vision, have the appeal ance of
man and behave as man; but,
they can only be seen and not
touched; and heard, but not
talked to. These forces make
man laugh and cry and give him
cause for great emotional
stress. No one but the Gods
can behave in such a manner and
affect man in so many ways.
The Gods are kind to man and
treat him as though he were a
king. The necessities of a com­
fortable existence are at his
fingertips.
Turn a knob and
water, both hot andcold, gushes
from the wall or sprays down
from above one’s head. It is
not often that man goes cold .
for his home is filled by a
blanket of warmth.
All manner of witchcraft has'
made man’s visit on this earth
comfortable and enjoyable. Man
has become content and care­
less, taking his surroundings
for granted. Now it is time for
the evil forces to invade the
earth. Evil forces in the form
of pollution, taking over the
clean fresh air that we breathe,
and the cool, clear water of our
lakes, rivers and streams. Per­
haps the kings of the 1800’s
wouldn’t have been wrong in
seeing destructive forces at
work destroying the world of.
modern man in his age of magic
and witchcraft.

What is meant by U.S. No. 1
Grade Potatoes? U.S. grades
were not established for con­
sumers but to enable whole­
sale buyers to bargain cross
country and know about a speci­
fic quality of the product.
Don’t think you’re being
cheated if you find U.S. No. 1
potatoes are not uniform in
size--the standard permits
variations.
The U.S. No. 1 standard al­
lows for some defects. In a
100-pound bag, up to six pounds
of potatoes may have external
defects. Up to five pounds may
have internal defects. Some
damage may occur between the
time of grading and when po­
tatoes finally reach the store
or consumer.

WHAT WE HAVE THAT KINGS
DIDN’t IN THE 1800’S
If the kings of the 1800’s
could have foreseen the world
as it is today, they would surely
have called it an age of magic
and witchcraft. They wouldfeel
that the Gods were in command
and that some great evil would
soon destroy their world.
Everyone knows that birds and
kites are all that soar across
the sky. The gigantic iron birds,
our modern age jets, that travel
faster than sound are an evil
omen and will surely bring de­
struction. Trains, monstrous
caterpillars, shake the ground
as they speed noisly across the
land on thin black lines lying
on the ground or suspended on
stilts. And such a variety of
cars and trucks.
They are
constantly
swarming across
the countryside like a hoard
of gigantic insects coming to
devour everything in their path.
The never
ending black
threads that seem to stitch the
land together buzz mysteriously.
This must be the Gods talking
to one another. But the modern
man speaks into a number of
oddly shaped boxes and his voice
is carried across the same
noisy threads, for any distance
he desires. What mystery is in
these threads that a man can
touch a button on a wall or on
an object called a lamp and fill
a room with bright light?
The forces of witchcraft are
everywhere; no one can escape
them. Even in his home a man
is not safe.
Has not witch­
craft disposed of a man’s house­
servants? Where there were
servants there are now boxes
of all sizes and descriptions
that perform
untold tasks.
These magical boxes wash and
dry one’s clothes; refrigerators
keep
food from
spoiling;
freezers preserve food for
lengthy periods of time. Aman
can enjoy the summer delicacies
in the middle of winter. Ap­
pliances, blenders, mixers, cof­
feepots, radios, clocks, etc.,
are what modern man calls the
forces of witchcraft that abound
in his home and he feels that his
life would be miserable without
them.
It is as if the Gods were tel­
ling the modern man how to live
