conference of Boston manufacture

DIR. Heiser's reports points to a

The American Federation of Labor
took cognizance of the industrial

to see to it that workers be properly
safeguarded when they take un-
familiar jobs in war plants.

Share-Meat Plan
Prelude TO Ration

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. CUP)-
Families with incomes over $4,000 a
year will be the only ones affected
by the voluntary plan to "share-the-
meat'-the prelude to meat ration
ing, agriculture department officials
said today.
Families in the less than $4,000
a year income group do not eat
enough meat anyway, and already
are below the 213 pound per week
quota set for each person.
The average family with an in
come of $4,000 to $4,000 ate 1913
pounds of meat per capita last year
just slightly more than the quota
The share-the- meat plan makes
allowances for every person in the
family excepting babies under six
months old. A new statement of
policy was formulated by the food
requirements committee wednesday
to include smaller children in the
plan The new policy allows:
Children six months to six years
three-fourths of a pound a week.
Children six years to II years
one and one-half pounds.
Children over 12 years-full al
lowance.
The committee also has included
sausageS on the rationed meat list.
If you eat hogs, you have to in
clude them in your allowance.

Ballet Dancers
Protest in France

VICHY, Oct. 16-CUP) - Ballet
dancers of the famed French Ma
tional Conservatory of Music and
Dancing, which furnished ballerin-
as for the Paris Opera and Opera
Comique, staged popular demon
stration today against ration regu-
lations.
The dancers objected to a rule
which requires them to use their
textile ration cards to purchase bal
let dresses. They demonstrated by
wearing short white "tutu" cos
tunes between their homes and the
conservatory. They insisted that
they are unable to buy both street
and stage clothes on the 40-front
textile allotment.
The demonstrators were follow
ed along the streets By admiring
throngs, and a crowd assembled at
the conservatory door as the hour
classes ended.

Due Before 1914

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-U.P0
The United States faces no real
shoe shortage before the end Of 1943,
the Commerce Department said
today in a report intended to an

boarding by the general public is
likely to compel rationing in the
near future.
Needless purchases of any COM
modify are never beneficial to the
welfare of the country and can be
quite harmful during war periods,
the department said.
