Cut In Beef
Points Seen

Washington, Nov. "a - CU.P) -
A general reduction of one to two
points pound in the ration point
value of principal beef cuts appear
ed possible today under the impetus
of heavy slaughtering that has
threatened to glut a rigid market.
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles sidestepped the question OF
meat point values in radio ad-
dress last night but said he would
tell "the full story" next week. By
that time, however, any changes in
meat point values for December will
be known, as the point chart for
next month will be announced early
in the week.
Reports from various sections Of
the country said the civilian beet
supply was in excess of the amount
absorable at current ration point
values and that spoilage had result
ed in some cities for lack Of storage

The laws OF Michigan permit
children ii and IS years OF age

are that the jobs be fairly near

You can accept Jobs from
families or farmers In your

involve homework, yard work
or helping on the farm. The
other Jobs you can look for are
the simple, safe kind OF "help-
ing jobs" in those neighborhOod
stores or restaurants where the

ment Of children OF your age.
