Net many weeks ago I. was read- been plainly shown in the recent Alig about a gathering which was U.S.A. policy of offering food par- takiag place down in Waterloo ,cels to the East German's. They 1DoIllitY. They expected quite a took all sorts of risks and ran all Crowd. In faCt, the, paper said, kinds of danger lust to get the they had prepared forty thousand pounds of food. - lay simple arithmetio, taking into account the 1 number of days the contention wap to be held, three acneale a day and the number ex- pected to attend, I worked it out that there would be at least two pounds, of food per person for ev- ery meal—breakfast, dinner and supper. At Bret glanqe this seemed a reasonable figure. Then I began to think. Take what I'd call a good breakfast-abacoa and eggs, cereal and toast (the beverages and juic- es were not counted in the 40,000 figure), and how much would you say it would weigh? Not two pounds by a loag chalk. • The more I thought aboUt this the more im- pressive that figure became. Six pounds of food per person per day. That, in any raan's language, is right hearty eating. In many men's language it is fantastic, out-of-thisaworld eat,ing. There are places within the Com- monwealth where people have nev- er in their lives had a chance to eat anything like that amount ia a week, let alone a day. In Britain itself, only recently did they take off the meat ration, and before that, you will remember, it was a good deal less than a pound a week. In India, people still starve in certain areas. Not so long ago, for the first time In my life, I stepped on the scales and found I was overweight. Now I don't think I am a fat man. I don't have to look very far around the neighborhood to find some fel- lows who are carrying more for their height than I am, If I walk along Main Street with this thought in mind, I have no trouble in see- ing scores of men and women who, to put it bluntly, are far too int. Well, you say, before you go around talking about how fat the other fellows are, what are you doing to keep your own weight down? .Ailaa! I was waiting for that. I have lost eight pounds since I found I was overweight, and that brings me pretty close to where I should be. extra food. But there are not BO many plac- es in the world where you can eat as much as you want to. In fact, such places are very rare these days. We are a very fortunate people to have plenty to eat. Meanwhile, our wheat surplus is the biggest in history; the cattle grow fat in the pasture. If we happen to have a milk strike, thou- sands of gallons of milk are poured into the streams. I'm not an economist, andiNnow no magic cures, but I'd be a fool not to know something is wrong When some people can eat six pounds of food a day and have plenty left over, while other people exist on a starvation diet. It's great to live in a land of plenty, but sometimes it makes you wonder about your obligations to your less fortunate neighbors. But—I might as well tell the truth—once winter comes I have an uneasyasuspicion that I'll gain all Weddings those eight pounds back again. Maybe more—I hope not. The truth is: I like to eat, That, I imagine, covers the case very nicely for almost all of us. Those people who can eat like horses and never gain an extra pound are just lucky. They like to eat too. So does everybody else. Certain- ly those Mennonites down in Wa- terloo County do if they were pre- paring six pounds of food a day for the delegates to their conven- tion. The people of Britain like to eat too. So do the people of India. So do the people of Germany, as bas Training institixte of wivitS Presbyterian to IlensallAited iff MS Plan for Sectional Conduct Meetings The Council of the Women's Missionary Society of the Presby- terian Church in Canada have plan- ned the Presbyterian Training In- stitutes to be held in all Synodicals in the Western Division.
