Squealin’ Eel Peelin’
An old lady, watching a fisherman
skin eels, was worried about the eels’
peace of mind. “Don’t you realize the
pain they must suffer?” she asked.
“I suppose I did, 20 years ago when
I started skinning eels,” replied the
fisherman, “but I reckon they’re used
to it by now.”

. Truth in Their Faces
Watching the faces of these Eng-
lishmen light up when they spoke of
food in America, and then cloud up
when they reviewed its scarcity in
England, was . something I wish a lot
of Americans "could , have seen. In
spite of their loyalty to England and
the Labor-Socialist government, they
were living testimonials to the fail-
, ure of Socialism, or any other gov-
ernment scheme of universal benevo-
lence.
After five years under Socialism,
there isn’t enough food; or not
enough coal to keep the houses
warm, or enough money, Jo buy the
meager quantity of things that are
available. And yet the “th’orns” are
getting more numerous. While the
16 Englishmen have been in Ameri-
ca, the meat ration has been drasti-
cally reduced again. It now is four
ounces of beefsteak per person per
week, about half what it was during
World War II. The weekly cheese
ration is two ounces, the egg ration,
two per person per week, as of Feb.
15, 1951.
Thorns Bite Deeply
Britain’s socialized medical serv-
ice didn’t seem capable of handling
the January influenza epidemic; a
thousand deaths a week were being
recorded, doctors were critically
overburdened, the nationalized hos-
pitals were turning away one out of
every three emergency cases, accord-
ing to factual reports. Meantirpe,
Socialism’s-promises to the British
workers were being ignored by the
paymaster—the government. Skilled
industrial workers were receiving
with your help
It takes more than our government’s fine
medical treatment to ease a disabled vet-
eran over the rough spots. Often days seem
long, recovery slow, the future hopeless.
At such times, a helping hand, an under-
standing word—knowing that somebody
cares—is the best medicine of all.
Your Red Cross workers now provide
this: neighborly interest, this miracle-
working medicine for 134,000 hospitalized
veterans. For veterans and their families,
your Red Cross also gives emer-
gency financial assistance, helps ^|||||||||
with personal and family prob-
lems, engages in recreational
and welfare programs. IT|

SOCIALISM SHOWS
ITS THORNS
A great truth was written when
James Russell Lowell penned the
following: “One thorn of experience
is worth a whole wilderness of
warning.” So few people take heed
of warning—even though sometimes
“one thorn” can kill! When Jan
Masaryk returned to Czechoslovakia
as premier at the end of World War
II, every written record and lesson of
history warned him that he could not
do business with Communist Russia.
Yet he took the Communists in as
partners and had to feel the thorn of
experience to know the truth. The
Communists took his nation and his
life.
Many millions of words have been
written, warning the American peo-
ple that throughout. history Social-
ism has never kept its promises.
These warnings have served to
awaken many Americans but many
others have let them go unheeded.
Voices of warning were raised in
England prior to and during the last
war, exposing the historic truth
about Socialism, but not enough
people heeded. The Labor-Socialist
government was voted in and step by
step they have been socializing the
nation.

Hungry Men
The English people now are feel-
ing the “thorn” of experience with
Socialism. Since, as Lowell wrote,
words of warning are never as effec-
tive as a living experience, the story
of the 16 Englishmen who have just
visited Arkansas to study our coal
mining methods is important. They
yrere interested in coal mining, yes;
but their consuming passion was
food. It was almost an obsession
with them. They were hungry men
on leave from a food-scarce Social-
ist nation. They couldn’t hide it;
they didn’t try. They talked unceas-
ingly of the abundance of food here
and its scarcity in England.
At almost every meal in Arkansas
they were eating big juicy beef-
steaks. Ernest L. Chiverton, their
spokesman, said each of them was
eating more meat at one meal here
than was rationed to him for a full
week in England. He’d gained five

porting the miserable state reached
after five years under Socialism,
quoted a British doctor: “The strain
of'living conditions is making peo-

which has accepted Socialism can

Scarce Building
Materials Should
Be Used Wisely
only1 of construction work and benefit
— *■*---•
There should be plenty of lumber,
wall board, cement, brick, and other
non-critical building materials in the
months ahead, but the amount of
building that can be done will be de-
termined largely by the care with
which materials containing critical
metals are used in building.
With the virtual elimination of
copper and aluminum for construc-
tion purposes, steel now is the mate-
rial which must be carefully con-
served in building until such time as
expanded production makes it pos-
sible to meet both defense and civ-
ilian" needs.
