"Why Korea?"
Last week at. one of tlii; local theaters a short film was
shown entitled "Why Korea?" In it. the historical events
leading up to the invasion of Korea along with the other
similar unwarranted iignicssivi acts was shown. Theme of the
film was if the United States doesn't want aggressors to
invade the U.S.A. for merely "agression's sake" then we
must t i 1 1 1 in Korea now to stop the enemy.
Obviously the government is backing the film. It is an
explanation to the people of the United States to why sons
fathers uncles cousins and friends must light today in a little
unknown country. It was a much-needed explanation especially
to those folk who always fail to grasp the significance of world
events.
As the narrator of the film said "If the aggressor isn't
stopped today in Korea by the United Nations forces then
tomorrow he might strike in New Yoik or San Francisco.
Nobody stopped Japan when they invaded Manchuria or
nobody slopped Mussolini in Abyssinia Hitler in Poland or
Stalin in Finland. These aggressors must be sloppepd now!"
It is a worthwhile film designed primarily to explain to
the people of the U.S.A. There is no criticism of this film only
praise and a plea for more just like it. It's time the people of
this country were educated. Democracy isn't a forceful form
of government. Yet sometimes it is necessary to give detailed
illustrations to the people that they might actually grasp the
full impact of that word--democracy.
"Why Korea?" indeed. I jet's have moiv explanations like
that!
Sttunfi Out StanvatiAK
Food is abundant in the U.S.A. Hungry People are abun-
dant almost everywhere. We are indeed fortunate to live in
such a bountiful and fruitful land. We turn our faces toward
entertainment and pleasures; we walk joyfully by as this
terrible thing starvation grips millions of people. How sin-
ful is our gluttony!
America's foreign policy is in our hands. We can determine
the attitude that .India and other countries have toward the
U.S.A. This is possible through the Meals for Millions cam-
paign. The contributions we make will express America's good
will and make Christian love a reality.
Meals for Millions will furnish and deliver a good nutri-
tious balanced meal to a very hungry person for only 3 cents.
Think of that! For the nickel that we use to satisfy our sweet
tooth we could provide almost two whole meals. This food will
go to missionaries to people in famine stricken lands to the
people in war torn countries and to the fighting soldiers.
Iet's do our share to Stamp Out Starvation!

Anybody can get in on the act!
That's the sentiment concerning
the third annual Stuntcapades
sponsored by the Press club which

dividual act It's a cinch. Just gen-
erally considering entering Stunt

is clip an entry blank (found on
page six of .today's paper) throw
a buck in with it and send it to
the Press club officers.
