sweater had to go, but aside from
the humorous angle, Bobby re
ceived a real cashmere from
someone very nice. Some of the
girls in the younger crowd have
a little plan which I'll guarantee
will not work. Some girls in our
crowd had that idea once too, but
it backfired . . . Maybe I should
add a little past. Some kids asked
me to repeat a poem I wrote
when I was 15. (Good ole Teen
Times days). Here it is:
“I'm a girl with a broken heart
I have no one to love.
What has happened to that
spark.
That came from up above?
He said he loved me long ago
That we would never part
But what happened long ago
Caused my broken heart.
What really is a broken heart?
I truly can't explain
At first you’re singing like a
And then, a stab of pain.
I was gay and happy
I thought love had found its
mark
I was always laughing
Then it came, my broken heart.

TODAY'S BEST HOPE I
for PIACF IS THt
U.N. PLUS YOU
LOOK TO THE SOIL FOR THE ROOTS OF A FREE WORLD!
Ask the American farmer. He will tell you how to grow a
free world. To him, those miles of soil conserving furrows
are a guarantee that hunger, the first weapon of a police
state, can never strike.
He knows. He remembers the terrors of dust bowl
farming . . . the utter despair of drought years. He knows
that peace...and enough to eat and wear will solve most
of the problems of the countries of the world.
The modern American farmer is a businessman who
uses modem machinery and modem methods of agricul
ture to get the most from his land, year after year. . . yet
he keeps it productive.

When the first Moline implement was built in 1865,
about 85 out of every 100 people in the United States
were earning their living on farms. Today, because of
modem machinery and better farming methods, about
15 out of every 100 people are able to produce food and
fibre for all.
Yes, the future for agriculture looks bright, but
modem machinery and modern methods are required to
keep it so.
So, ask the American fanner how to make a prosper
ous, a self-sufficient, a peaceable United Nations . . .
United World. He has the answer ... It’s in a few inches
of topsoil, well taken care of.
