Ottawa Rotary Meeting Tells Of Warsaw Trip
Suzanne Shaw of Topeka, back from a six month International 4-H Exchange in Poland, spoke to Ottawa Rotary Club about Warsaw resembling a European metropolis yet still showing horses and carts outside the city. She noted white horses aid night driving, discussed housing shortages and inflation, and said unemployment is not a problem due to farm and industrial work done by hand, while war damage shaped industry.

Poland After War Faces Shortages and Shift in Ideals
Shaw describes a country scarred by conflict with ruined cities and a housing shortage. One sixth of the population died, and cooperatives emerged to restart agriculture as the nation gradually moves away from socialism. Catholicism remains strong, mass holidays align with religious days, and government control shapes gas, farming, and meat exports while postwar rebuilding continues.

Corn Harvest Sets Record U.S. Grain Stockpiles Rise
Washington AP reports the 1979 corn harvest exceeded forecasts at more than 7.76 billion bushels, a 178 million bushel rise from November. The larger crop is expected to widen grain stocks to the highest since the early 1960s, potentially pressuring prices for farmers already facing reduced Soviet markets. The Agriculture Department’s supply and demand outlook puts the 1979-80 average corn price between $2.25 and $2.45 per bushel.
