Haunted by human devastation and
If Mankind is so Clever,
How Come It's not Smart?
A few eights ago, 'on the 10
o'clock news, we saw pictures
of thousands of people starv-
ing in Ethiopia, which is suf-
fering another crippling
drought and famine. We saw
the body of a tiny, shrunken
little girl who had just died
before the television
cameras, and were told
others would suffer the same
fate at the rate of one every
twenty minutes. I don't im-
agine I was the only one who
went to bed that night,
haunted by the human
devastation and raw suffer-
ing, while sending up a silent,
inflamed prayer, "Why, God,
why?"
We live at a time in history
when Western and Eastern
powers vie to amass such a
tremendous, horrendous,
costly stockpile of nuclear ar-
maments that the average
person can't begin to com-
prehend it. At the same time,
millions of dollars are spent to
conquer space, so that some-
day, mankind will live and
work there (and very likely
go to war there, too). In the
past fifty years, scientific
technology has leapt forward
in such bounds that we are
proud of our ac-
complishments beyond all
measure.
But if we're so clever, how
come we cannot solve the
world's food crises? For at
Will discuss
stress topic
The lives of farm women
are filled with challenge, ex
citement, novelty and plenty
of opportunities to exercise
their capabilities. The roles of
wife and mother are combin
ed with the responsibilities of
living on a farm, being a
friend and neighbour,
meeting special community
needs and seeing to their own
personal growth and
development.
But there are times when
some farm women feel emp-
ty, trapped, exhausted and
discouraged. Special skills
and attitudes are required for
these times.
Centralia College of
Agricultural Technology in
co-operation with area On-
tario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food personnel and fun-
ding assistance from the
Canada Employment and im-
migration Commission offer a
second session of a five part
series.
Dr. Robert Eidt, chiroprac-
tor, will address stress - "A
Matter of Attitude" from 8:30
a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the
Craigweil activity centre in
Ailsa Craig on Saturday,
November 10.
As a specialist in stress
education, Dr. Eidt has con-
ducted numerous seminars
for business, industry and
professional people.
Courses are free of charge.

MAIN ST. EXETER
least 15 years, we've heard
that we now do have the
knowhpw to feed the earth's
hungry people. So, why aren't
we doing it? The experts say
it's because it would upset the
world's economy (which real-
ly means the economy of the
tion. (1 have this terrible
suspicion that nations
already know how to do this,
but are held back by their
fearful greed and their over-
whelming desire for power.)
What kind of a society is it
that will close its eyes and

rich nations). Of course,
farmers can't afford to grow
food without being paid for it,
but surely, there has to be a
way of distributing our excess
to the hungry.
If we're clever enough to in-
vent and manufacture
weapons that are as deadly as
they are cunningly
sophisticated, and if we can
blast men and women into
space and put up satellites
that do all manner of wonder-
ful things, surely there is so-
meone smart enough to figure
out a way to obliterate starva-
hearts to the anguish of star-
vation, as long as its own peo-
ple are not suffering. Not long
ago, I heard a speaker who
wondered why there are so
many people who will march
for peace, but no one who
marches against starvation?
He drew the conclusion that
many of us will protest for
peace because we feel the
lives of ourselves, our
children and grandchildren
are at stake. We do not pro-
test against starvation
because it doesn't affect us,
personally. Yet, more people
have died from starvation
than have been killed in all
the wars of all time.
When I was looking through
an old scrap book recently, 1
came across a column I'd
written in 1970, at a time when
thousands of Biafrans were
starving to death. I quoted a
short article I'd come across,
its author unknown. It's as
poignant today as it ever was:
"I walked today through
the slums of life, down the
dark streets of wretchedness
and of pain. I trod today
where few have trod and as I
walked I challenged God.
"I saw the sots in the bar-
rooms. 1 saw the prostitutes in
the streets. I saw the thieves
as they picked pockets. I saw
men and women devoid of
life, living in worlds of sin,
and above the din I
whispered, "Why, God,
why'?"
"I walked today down the
lanes of hate, hearing the
jeers of bitter men, hearing
the names they cursed and
spat... `Dago, Nigger, Kike,
Jap' I saw the dejected men
they stoned.
I felt the anguish of their
cries. I saw them as they slap-
ped the lonely, as they turned
suffering
their backs on human needs.
Snarling, growling were the
fiends of hell. These, God call-
ed His sons? Gasping for air,
1 cried, "Why, God, why?"
"1 walked today through
war's grim dregs, over fields
of blood, over graveless men,
I saw the dead, the crucified,
the headless, the limbless„the
pleading, the crying. I saw the
pain, the waste. l smelled the
odour of rotted flesh.
"1 saw the children
gathered round, watching,
naked, hungry, weeping,
diseased, dirty...the baby try-
ing to nurse from a dead
mother, The ruins, the agony,
the despair!
Disaster, disaster all around!
"Blinded with tears, I fled
down these streets. I stumbl-
ed, then stopped. I shouted,
"Why God? Why? Why do you
let man sin, hate and suffer?
Unmerciful Father, God, art
Thou blind? Art Thou wicked
and cruel? God, canst Thou
watch and do naught?"
"The world grew silent. I
awaited reply. The silence
was heavy. I started to trem-
ble. I waited long, half rebuk-
ing, half fearing. Then, 1
heard from close behind me,
"Why, Man, Why?"
