TRUTH ABOUT FOOD PRICE
We are assured this is a fair
statement of fact about food
prices:
“Since January, 1953, food
prices haven’t risen more than
five per cent, but the total cost
of living has risen twelve per
cent. Families are spending
more in supermarkets because
they are buying more and bet-
ter foods, feeding larger fam-
i ilies, and buying more non-
' foods that supers didn’t carry
eight years ago. Pay has gone
up faster than food prices—the
average worker can buy a
/ month’s supply with money he
1 earns in 38 hours as compared
with 51 hours needed in 1952.
The big surprise is that many
food prices today are actually
lower than eight years ago.”
These also appear to be'
facts: The average family pays
as much for the service of get-
ting foods in the amounts they
want, packaged like they want
them packaged, as they used
to spend on all their food bud-
gets.

The cult of the misguided
reached Washington last week,
picketing the White House and
calling on the United States to
completely disarm and hand
over this country to the Com-
munists on a silver platter.
Perhaps the young people
who made this “peace” pilgrim-
age were sincere in their belief
that they were working in the
best interest of humanity but
the brains behind the move-
ment were not. The fact that
every point of their “demands”
coincided with Communist doc-
trines is no coincident.
Rather than recognizing the
Credit Change Is
Made by Penney’s
To major changes in Pen-
ney’s credit plan designed to
increase customer convenience
| were announced today by Bill
Hogg, store manager.
The changes, which go into
effect on Monday, March 2, are
as follows:
Monthly payments on charge
accounts of customers who wish
to spread payments over a per-
iod of time have been reduced
to one-tenth of the balance of
the account. Minimum pay-
ments formerly varied from one-
fourth to one-sixth of the total
balance.
Penney’s charge account is a
30-day charge account which
permits a customer to pay an
account in full within 30 days
of billing date without a service
{charge. The plan provides an
' option for customers who wish
to spread payments over a long-
er period. Customers who ex-
picketing for what it was, Pres-
ident Kennedy lent a sympa-
thetic and encouraging ear. In
the interest of “peace” these
young people were asking the
nation to make the same disas-
trous mistake that the British
under Chamberlain made in 1933
and 1939. Appeasement of a ty-
rannical and ungodly system of
government does not bring on
peace “but the sword.”
After attacks upon the “ex-
treme” right by the Administra-
tion it is surprising and dis-
heartening that left-wing ex-
tremists find such warm-hearted
support from our nation’s lead-
ers. It makes one wonder if the
“extreme right” aren’t some-
times extremely right.

Mrs. Khrushchev made her
speech to the wrong people. If
she has as much influence with
her husband as most American
wives do with their husbands,
she could have a great influ-
ence for peace, however. Per-
haps she could persuade her
husband to call his stooges and
soldiers our of Hungary, Poland,
Czechslovia, Lithuana, Estonia,
Latvia, East Germany and the
dozens of other places where
they are meddling in the af-
fairs of other , countries and
forcing their own brand of gov-
ernment on peoples who don’t
want it. The whole speech of
the Russian dictator’s wife was
hypocritical and a farce. No one
but the Communists seek to
force their particular brand of
political philosophy on other i
nations. They can have peace
when they decide to mind their
own business and leave others
alone.

There will be reams written;
thousands of feet of television
footage and millions of words
devoted to Marine Col. John
Glenn’s feat of circling the
earth three times while in or-
bit. It is a staggering thing
when you recall that as late as
the early 1940’s the United
States had not yet developed
the jet engine. Col. Glenn went
around the globe at a speed
of 17,545 miles per hour; a
fantastic rate—yet, it will pro-
bably be considered slow by
comparison to travel that will
come in the next 25 to 50 years
Our ancesters saw the fron-
tier of Indians and virgin land
disappear—we may be on hand
to witness the conquering of
the space frontier.

Dear People of Cottle County,
I have recently become chair-
man of the Cottle County Divis-
ion of the American Cancer So-
ciety. I have been most re-
luctant to accept this responsi-
bility, but when Mr. Johnston
revealed Cottle County’s statis-
tics concerning cancer to me, I
was quite impressed. I apologiz-
ed for my hesitancy, accepted
the leadership and now take
this means of asking you for
your interest and help. I think
you, too, will be converned with
these facts:
Cottle County is well above
national average in cances
cases and deaths. If we could
but reduce our problem to na-
tional average, we may expect
18 new cancer cases in 1962.
Six of these are due to die. Of
the approximate 4,000 people
living in Cottle County today,
six hundred are expected to die
of cancer. To me, these were
shocking facts.
In the fund raising cam-
paigns of the past fifteen years,
Cottle County has met her quota
only three times. Seven of those
years we did not contribute one
penny to cancer cure or cancer
research. Yet all of that time
we have shared equally with
other counties in the benefits
of the society. Our county’s
share is set in accordance with
its share of the state’s buying
power.
I am not proud of this his-

Mrs. Bob Jones, last week-end
Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Jones
and sons visited in Childress
Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. F.
Sims and family.
Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Martin
visited in Shamrock Sunday
with Mr. and Mrs. Joe Stagg.
Mrs. Frankie Henton of De-

Billy of Fort Worth and Mr. and
lory. I know that you are not.
We helped to bring polio and
tuberculosis under control. I be-
lieve if we are properly inform-
ed, inspired, and directed that
we shall be eager to join the
fight against cancer. Medical
research promises results; we
should consider it a privilege to
help.
Dr. Harmon is our medical
chairman and promises to co-
operate whole-heartedly. A med-
ical check-up costs so little and
takes such a little time.
We exceeded our quota in
i960. We had no campaign
in 1961. Our 1962 fund-raising
campaign will be beginning
soon and I shall hope for your
help. In the meantime, think
upon and talk about our prob-
lem. I know I can depend upon
you.
Sincerely,
Carmen Bennett
