( he misery , privations and suffering
afillctlng our drought stricken coun

scant meal a day Is expressing It
mildly. WhHe I cannot state posi

died of starvation , still I can say In
all truth , and the residents here will
bear me out , that many have died that
were sick , where they could have
been easily saved had nourishment
been at hand. In San Ignaclo and
other places the children have that
pallid look , that listless walk and
blank stare which clearly shows that
hunger is at hand. . "
