Clifton Crouse Narrates Poland Hunger After UNRRA Cattle Run
Clifton G. Crouse, Brethren farmer and churchman, sailed from Baltimore November 10 aboard the Santiago Iglesias with 375 cattle and supplies for UNRRA. He reached Danzig November 30 to report widespread destruction, hunger, and cold, noting only one heated home in visits to Polish communities. The group toured rural areas, received grateful hospitality, and reflected on the contrast with Copenhagen and New York, where abundance underscored Europe’s wartime misery. The voyage followed a similar trip by his pastor last summer.

Sugar Prices to Rise Slightly Next Month
The price of sugar is going up slightly next month. Meat and butter increases are likely, signaling broader cost pressures for households and grocers. Officials cite market trends and supply chain factors as contributing to the anticipated uptick.
Food costs may ease after sugar and butter price shifts
An upturn in sugar prices effective February 2 and a potential butter rise could cap months of rising food costs. A tentative seven tenths of a cent per pound meat price increase may accompany a broader trend toward higher prices for the year's crop, signaling a possible end to the food-cost uptrend.
