Hopeful
Outlook
,
.
.
Possibly
the
most
hopeful
situation
in
the
war
is
the
food
outlook
in
Great
Britain.
About
a
month
ago
there
was
an
increased
food
rationing
in
Britain
and
then
again
a
few
days
ago
we
heard
that
more
food
from
the
United
States
was
now
beginning
to
arrive
in
London
in
the
form
of
canned
goods
and
that
it
was
to
be
made
available
for
distribution
immediately.
We
are
not
being
told
exactly
what
is
the
position
in
regard
to
the
Battle
of
the
Atlantic
but
we
do
know
that
it
is
vastly
improved.
Navy

.
.
.
In
spite
of
what
we
hear
about
the
activity
of
the
air
force
and
the
army,
we
are
told
that
we
hear
too
little
about
the
activities
of
the
navy.
That
is
as
it
must
be.
We
cannot
afford
to
tell
too
much
about
the
activities
of
the
navy
for
fear
of
giving
away
information
that
may
be
of
value
to
the
enemy.
We
all
know-that,
if
the
navy
were
not
fulfilling
its
work
faithfully,
the
people
of
Britain
would
be
running
short
of
'food,
not
only
'for
themselves
but

or

and

.After
two
years
of
warfare
in
which
the
Nazis
were
planning
to
starve
out
the
British
people,
it
is
interesting
to
know
that
food
supplies-
are
on
the
increase.

Christmas
comes
early
to
this
quiet
village
in
the
hills
of
outh-ern
Indiana,
a
community
of
50
souls
virtually
forgotten
by
the
rest
of

world
10
months
a
year.
The
holiday
season
has
already
arrived.
Nearly

Despite
seasonal
fame
of
this
village,
efforts
of
business
interests
to
capitalize
on
its
name
the
community's
major
commodity-
have
been
unsuccessful.
Candy,

and

planned
to
locate
here
but
efforts
of
two
of
them
bogged
c!own
in
long
and
still
continuing
legal
battles
over
leases
and
trad;
names.
So
the
village
sleeps
happily
on.
Not

been
