President Roosevelt Why does East

instead of March 2Sth?
l quote the following from a Prayer
Book: ITO find the Movable Festi-

Easter is always the first Sunday

upon, or next after the twenty-first
day of March; and if the Full Moon
happens upon a Sunday, Easter is the
Sunday after"
Now my calendar says the Full

21st so why isn't Easter, March 2Sth,
this year, instead of April 25th?
The Encyclopedia gives the same
rule for finding Easter as does the

MEAT and FATS
RATIONInG
STARTS MAR. 20

Beginning Monday morning March
80, the nations housewives will begin
to use the red stamps from War Ra
ton Book Two to obtain family. sup.
plies of meats, edible fats and oils,
including, butter, cheese and canned
fish.
The new rationing program will In
clude all fresh, frozen, smoked and
canned meats and meat products de-
rived from beef, veal lamb, mutton
and pork, as we'll as variety meats"
and sausages; canned fish and canned
shellfish; the most important natural
and processed cheeses and most of
their derivatives, but not the cottage
| type and cream cheeses; and most
edible fats and oils including butter,
lard margarine, shortening, salad oils
and cooking oils, excluding mayon-
naise and salad dressings
The meats and fats rationing pro-
gram does not involve the declaration
by consumers of the amount of newly
rationed foods on hand. This ex-
emption extends to food stocks in So
called frozen locker plants" largely
used by farmers for storing meat
slaughtered for home consumption.
In the first month of the program,
each holder of Book Two will have
basic allotment of 16 points week
to spend Point values on per
pound basis will be made public dur
ing the week of March %. Red
stamps bearing the letter ga" (16
points, will become valid March 20.
"B" stamps April 4, &C" stamps April
II, sd" Stamps April IS and "E''
Stamps April Is.
The question of whether it will be
necessary to freeze" retail sales of
any of the storable rationed products
will not be decided until it is seen
how public buying proceeds during
the period before March 29. In no
event, the Office of Price Admins
freeze" of sales of meats.
Since edible meat content is an i'm
portant factor in setting consumer
point values, cuts of meat that have
i large amount of bone and fat in
hem will have values lower than cuts
which are completely edible For ex-
ample, lamb neck or pork spare ribs,
leavy with bone, will have point
yalues much lower than lean chuck or
'ound steak.
The new plan places no official re-
trictions on any of the rationed foods
Produced by farmers if used for their
,wn tables, and farmers and their
antilles are given full quota of
oints However, the government re-
uests that farm families retain red
lamps equal to the point value of
ny of the rationed foods produced on
he farm and eaten at home, so that
hey may share fairly the available
upplies of rationed foods on a volun-
ary basis with city jewellers, who
lust buy all of their meats, cheese
nd butter and other rationed foods

EVENTS-WE WOULD LIKE TO
SEE IN THE PAPERS
By the Sage Brush Philosopher
Where, a minister had delivered a
sermon about a Living Christ, pulsat-
ing with Life, and, love that lives
to bless and heal. Rather than a
Crucified Christ, for, if the Good Book
is true, and, we believe it is, then
his crucifixion was only an incident
in his life. His qualification was
brought about, not because of rcli-
gious differences, but because He
drove the money changers from the
Temple. If He arose from the dead
and we believe He did, then He is
alive And would not living Christ
appeal more to the great common
run of men, women, and (bless their
hearts, the children, than one with
palsied hands?
That a mining company, either coal
or metal, had invested some money,
to safeguard the health and lives of
their employees by constructing air
shafts, and more than one shaft or
tunnel where men might enter or
leave the mine-rather than to read
where they, and the state had spent
of dollars to recover their
dead bodies.

Bond Purchases Nearly Doubled In One Year

The employees of the Electric Boat Company have responded very gratifyingly to the bond drives conducted fin the plant in the past year as the following fig ures prove:
 During the year ending Novem- Der 3, 1943, the number of weekly payroll deductions jumped from 7433 to 10,693, or nearly 95 per- cent of the total number of em- ployees in the plant.

Railroad Unions Use Mail Ballot

Local union leaders have noticed particularly that in taking it's strike vote from more than one million, one hundred thousand workers, railroad unions have used a mail balloting system.
 This indicates that the mailing of ballots for voting which has been instituted by the local inde- pendent union is not an innovation in labor union balloting.
