"What Are Your Feelings Concerning
the War in Viet Nam"?
Viet Nam is a long, long way
from Kermit. Nevertheless, this
land which most of us will never
see is constantly on the minds of
many of our people.
To those who have a loved one
on ‘loan’ to this troubled land, the
war is seen as a very real thing.
And, yet, to many it is only a
chimera brought to mind for a
fleeting moment by television
reports, or a haunting photograph
of the misery many are enduring
there.
The struggle with Communism
has been going on for over 20
years, since the end of World
War n. The only thing new is
that now it is OUR husbands,
OUR brothers, and OUR sons.
Today, we have in Viet Nam
over 200,000 American soldiers.
Ajdd to this number the many
mothers, fathers, wives, sisters,
brothers and sweethearts and we
likve but a small picture of the
many people who are keeping
constant vigil over this conflict
in Southeast Asia.
Directly or indirectly, war
affects all of us. But as one of
our statesman has said, “The
quest for peace is never easy,

but is always worth the effort.”
How does this war in Viet
Nam affect some of ouf own
people? Let’s see ...
JOHN GAMMUiL: “We should
go all out, bomb Hanoi, block
the harbors, pick out strategic
points such as missle sites; we
have the firing power. The pres-
ident says this would bring in
Russia, and I would hope it
wouldn’t get to this point, but if
it should we would just have to
cope with it.
“We don’t want another Korea
on our hands. But we’re com-
mitted so we might as well go
all out.
“I have a son aboard the USS
Ranger which is patrolling waters
off the coast of Viet Nam and
another son who is expecting
his draft notice any day.”
KEN BURROWS JR.: “I don’t
want this to be like the war in
Korea; we should fight to win
or get out. We should haive taken
care of Red China during the
Korean war and not have to
worry about them today.
“Also at the end of the second
world war we should have ended
the conflict over Berlin, But
Americans are inclined to be
pacifists. t
“I have just finished 2 years
in the Army and am now in the
active reserve and could be
called up anytime. If they should
decide to really try to win the
war, and I was called back, I’d
be ready to go tomorrow. I’m
not just shooting my mouth off
either, I really feel this way.”
MRS. L. M. FISHER: “Nat-
urally, It is hard for anyone who
has a son over there to have
a * good’ feeling about this war.
Sometimes I just don’ t know what
we* re doing over there. The'pres-
ident has tried to explain it and
when I listen to the news I can
understand some of the reasons,
but then later I'm just not sure.
“My son who has just com-
pleted seven months duty in Viet
Nam says we must stay; we
couldn’t leave now. He just has
one year left if they don't ex-
tend his time. I’m just keeping
my fingers crossed.”
(Marine Lance Corporal Bob
Fisher has been on leave visit-
ing with his parents. He is with
the 2nd Battelion, 3rd Marines.)
BILL LITTON: “I feel like
the majority of Americans feel.
We definitely need to be there.
We need to limit Communism
now. I think We should go all
out to win, in the old traditional-
American style.
“Sometimes I think we Amer-
icans are too afraid of what
other countries will think of us,”
BURTON CARLEY, age 18:
“I have just registered for the
draft. This is something people
don’t like to do but it has got
to be done.
“I was born in a free country
and enjoy many freedoms, and
I didn’ t do anything to earn them.
It was given to me. So I am
willing to protect this freedom
so that my children and others
can enjoy them too.
As far as the policies con-
cerning the war in Viet Nam,
I am willing to let the policy
makers higher up decide those
things. I believe in my govern-
ment and feel like they know
best. If we don't stop Communism
over there, we might have to
fight here in our own country
someday.”
MRS. GLENN M. WILLIAMS:
“My husband (Maj. Glenn Wil-
liams) feels that he is doing
a very necessary job, flying a
medical' evacuation helicopter.
The casualty rate of the wounded
is low partially due to the fact
that they can rapidly evacuate
the wounded to medical units by
helicopter.
Of course by being a profes-
sional soldier, we are involved
— war or no war. But my hus-
band loves flying and so he chose
this as his career.
“If there are no changes, his
rotation back to the states will
be July 6. Sometimes that seems
like a long time. But we feel as
he does, that he is doing a very
important job by helping save
lives.”
(Maj. Williams who commands
a medical helicopter company in
Saigon has been in the Army for
15 years. Mrs. Williams lives at
303 Bert Street with her four
daughters, Mary, 10; Marsha, 11;
Marla, 12; and Margaret, 13.)
JAPANESE APPRAISAL
TOKYO (AP) - A team of five
Japanese Christians who toured
| the United States for three weeks
on a peace mission reported
that attitudes of American Chris-
tians on Asian affair^ differs
greatly from theirs.
“The wall which lies between
us is thick,” the group reported.
“In particular, we could not,help
being disappointed by their
(Americans’) too-sirpple anti-
communism attitude and their
anti-Red China stance. We were
also disappointed by their too
self-justifying understanding.;,
of the actual situation in Viet
Nam.”
FISH IN GOOD SUPPLY
The Lenten season generally
increases interest in consumer
information about the various
kinds of fish in best supply.
Some frozen items in heavier
supply than last year include
fish sticks and portions, crab
meat, scallops and breaded
shrimp.
Salmon is packed mainly in
three different cans, the one-
pound tall* and one-pound flat,
each containing two cups and
serving four. The half pound
flat can contains one cup and
serves two. The quarter-pound
flat can containing 3% ounces
is less common and serves only
one.
Canned Salmon is economical
as well as healthful. The entire
contents of the container can be
used. The attractive color and
delicate flavor of salmon com-
bine nicely with such extenders
as rice, noodles, spaghetti, po-
tatoes and corn meal without
losing its identity in the dish.
HOME EC. BRIEFS
Careful planning, shopping,
storage and food preparation can
save you money, nutrients and
time. Quickly refrigerate fresh
foods. Frozen foods should be
rushed into the freezer and held
at zero degrees until used. Food
preparation methods that limit
the exposure time of fresh-cut
foods to the air, and cooking meth-
ods that prevent loss of vitamins
and minerals should be used.
SUPER MARKET AUTOMATION
Today’s homemakers are often
bewildered when they shop In
the huge supermarkets for the
family gorceries. They often ask:
What will tomorrow’s supermar-
kets be like? Will shopping be
easier, and what about prices?
Marketing experts of the USD A
make these forecasts Electronic
merchandising will help hold
prices down. Tomorrow’s con-
sumers should continue to bene-
fit from today’s food bargains.
Food expenditures already ac-
count for a smaller proportion
of take home pay than every be-
fore in history.
Automatic ring-up and bagging
will speed shoppers through the
check outlines. Electronic brains
will keep tab on supplies and
re • Order replacements before
supplies give out.
Personal service by butchers
is on the way back. Trained meat
clerks will make suggestion on
cooking methods and the best
buys in meat.
New handling methods, ini-
proved refrigeration and sanita-
tion systems in the markets of the
future will keep meat fresh long-
er, and there will be less waste.
HOMEMAKING HINT
Regular washing with hot soap-
suds will keep zinc clean. Tarnish
may be rfemoved by a fine scour-
ing powder or by vinegar or lemon
juice left standing on the sur-
face for several minutes and then
rinsed off. . .

lease him.

months recovering from a foot
injury.

3ERG WILL BE BACK
NEW YORK (AP) - Gertrude
Berg returns to Broadway next
season following a three-year
absence in “The Playgirls,” a
comedy about agents who book
shows for benefit performances.
The script is by Leonard
Spigelgass and is based upon
a story by Miss Berg. The
comedienne last appeared here
in “Dear Me, The Sky Is Fall-
ing,” by Spigelgass. The show’s
1963 run was cut short when ill
health compelled her to with-
draw.
