ALBANY WANTS
EASTERN TIME

Albany, Ga. = Abany proposes
l., iain I!;nds with Atlanta, Aneri-
Gus and other places along the new
.ine. zone line which have been re-
lained in he Central time zone and
make vigorous fight to be given
Eastern time.
The city council of Albany has
unanimously gone over the secori
as ia 5oring the faster time, and the
Chamber of Commerce Is now con-
Quoting a referendum to ascertain
the wishes of the people in general
regarding the matter. An over
whelming majority of the replies
are in favor of eastern time, and 1T
is likely that the Chamber OF Conn
merce which has remained neutral
pending the outcome Of this refer
endum, will ~ az early date de-
clare for eastern time md take
charge Of the fight to give Albany
this new time
The line Of demarcation places
the majority Of Albany's trade ter
ritory in eastern time and leaves
this city itself in the old time
bounds.

USE LESS WHEAT.

The allied nations have made
further increased demands on
US for breadstuffs - demands
that Americans are obligated to
meet.
In the meantime Americas
meat supply has been greatly
increased for some months to
come by the unprecedented
shipping to market of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each in
stead of 2O3 pounds-the nor
NAL.
The United States Food Ad-
ministration, endeavoring to ad-
just the international food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions in this country on
the use of meat and at the same
time asked for a smaller con-
sumption of breadstuffs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatless day each week
Tuesday. We will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
TO a minimum.
In altering its food conserva-
ton program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation is Of necessity,
subject TO radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at
home and abroad and by the
precarious transportation prob
lem, both in overseas shipping
ard in Americas overburdened
transportation system.
-. Food AG::.a:.::....;;.,-1tion will
keep the American people fully
and frankly advised Of each
change in the developing situa-
ton ttat they may know def

rifices play in the world war.
