Most People Hardly Eat
21a Pounds Meat a Week

ZI2 ROUNDS Meat a week
Meat eaters who are worrying
about the rationing quota IF 2iz
pounds of meat a person each week
are reminded that they haven't
been eating much more than this
amount anyhow.
Pointing out thet 212 pounds of
meat week is 100 pounds year,
Sleeter Bull, professor Of meats, Uni
versity of Illinois college of agricul-
ture, said that the meat consump-
ton for the 10-year period, 1881 to
1910, was only 1911 pounds, mere
ly a mouthful more than is now
being proposed to give every con-
sumner a chance to share equally in
the meat supply. From 1885 to 1888,
consumption was less than 2k pounds
for each person.
Meat consumption has decreased
in the past 40 years, Bull explained,
mainly because as the country has
grown older and become more
densely populated, agriculture has
become more intensive and both
meat production and consumption
have gone down.
With the livestock and meat in
dustry functioning to its full capacity
to feed the armed forces plus civil
ians, meat production is greater
than ever with some "a billion
pounds expected to be on the market
in 1942-43. There is little chance
that this quantity can be greatly in
creased, Bull said.
Renting a locker for meat stor-
age is commendable if the homemak-
er and her family are doing it for
the sake of economy and better quail
ity meat, Bull said. But in his opin-
ion, the homemaker who rents a
locker in order to store away more
than her rightful share of the ma
tons meat supply is as unpatriotic
as the sugar hoarder. If and when
meat rationing goes into effect, lock-
er supplies should be checked, he
suggested.

Seven Ages of a Moron

Parents think his births incredible,
His fame will rival Hannibals,
But, o, if they were cannibals,
The brat would prove quite edible.
But living with humanity,
They let him grow and go to school
To sit in corners on a stool,
Impairing teachers sanity.
Manhood and love overtake the punk,
He woos femme who's none too smart,
And she gives him her hand and heart,
Then two are one, and both are sunk.
His draft board finds his I. @. zero,
The army sends him overseas,
Against the Huns and Japanese,
Our dullest dullard proves hero.
The fifth age tempts us to wrong guess,
And we may give judgeship to boor;
If we must make him sinecure,
Let's send him off to congress.
Scene Six-the moron's life now shapes
The sheer anachrony of age and youth,
We see bald pate and final tooth,
Parading in suit of Grapes.
His curtain scene may seem his worst,
Beneath the candies Pickering flame,
His second childhood gets the blame,
When really he had never lost his first!

Editor: 1 wish to commend the
St. Paul Recorder on it's editorial
of recognition concerning the Ma
tional Urban League and its func-
tioning affiliates in the Twin Cities.
The Program of the League is
dedicated toward improving the
conditions under which Negroes
live, work and play. The fact that
the League has been well seasoned
and grounded in the roots of de-
mocracy, has enabled it to bring
social vision and understanding to
communities where lack Of insight
have delayed them from obtaining
the proper focus that would permit
participation in the democratic
way of life for all citizens.
Very sincerely yours,

Churches Leading
the Way in This
Civ

Utilize the advertising columns
of the community paper to reach
the great mass of church-goers and
the unchurched of the area. In
these modern days, modern Chris
tan institutions have found that no
matter how good anything is, it
must be advertised.
That's the reason why the lead
ing churches of the Twin Cities al
lot a portion of their budget to
propagating the benefits of church
affiliation and the Christian way
of life through. the columns of the
newspaper.
Hundreds of Twin Citians keep
track of what the churches are
doing through "Twin City Church

Step to Rear, Please -
Isn't Helping Much Now
Nationwide gasoline rationing.
coupled with rubber rationing which
already has brought a so per cent
increase in bus and streetcar traffic
during the last year, brings to cit
les today their greatest transporta-
ton problems.
Most important of these involve
providing additional facilities for
riders and speeding up Of traffic
movement.
Passenger traffic in the cities in
creased from Is per cent in Cleve-
land to 275 per cent in Amarillo,
with greatest increases occurring in
smaller boom towns" The conduc-
tors "step toFthe rear, please" fails
to help in many cities, and new
buses and streetcars, and even new
lines, have been added. Detroit,
which owns its own street railway
system, put on 230 new vehicles and
San Diego added 161.
Old equipment-both buses and
streetcars-was brought back into
use in several cities; Detroit, for
example, renovated $50 streetcars.
Despite rising costs of operating
public transit systems, caused by
increased wages and additional
equipment, these utilities have en-
tered q period of prosperity through
greater paying loads, reduction in
stops and faster operation. Wage
increases Of from three to 80 cents
an hour were reported by some of
the % cities, but no fare increases
were reported as effected or in pros
pect.
Transportation administrators or
committees have been appointed in
II of the % cities to handle transit
problems, and all % have made spe-
cial efforts to promote more effec-
tive use of private automobiles, par
ticularly through group riding.
School hours and municipal office
hours have been staggered in sew
eral localities and business hours
in a few, though the chief factor in
spreading riding peaks, according to
the survey, has been full 24-hour
operation of war production plants.

Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
major Robert g. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON really hap
pened at the White House confer
ence called to discuss the question
of one overall food GEAR" was
that the President jumped the gun
on his Congressional callers. Before
they could get started with their
ov demands he gave them 10
minute talk on how Great Britain
was meeting its food problems. Al
though the President didn't come
out and say SO fatty, his remarks
were calculated to show that the
United States eventually will have
to come around to Cd mobilization
of labor and co price subsidies to
reduce prices.
The President pointed out that
there was no such thing as a cri-
tical labor shortage in essential
British industries such as can
neries. All British labor had been
modified to meet the emergency,
he said, and could be moved about
wherever most needed.
He pointed out that the British
government controlled and direct
ed all MISUNDERSTANDING, manufac-
turing, distribution and processing.
They tell labor and management
what to do, and when and how to
do it," he added.
The Presidents ideas met with
varied reactions. Republican Lead
er Senator McNary of Oregon and
House Republican Joe Martin OF
Massachusetts opposed price sub
sidization. So did Senator Walter
George of Georgia, chairman of the
Finance Committee, and COP Rep
resentative James Wadsworth of
New York. On the other hand, New
Deal Senator Joseph F.. Guffey of
Pennsylvania was opposed to the
total mobilization of labor.
When his callers finally had a
chance to propose the appointment
of an overall food "czar,' the Presi-
dent replied that this step was no
longer necessary because OF the re-
cent establishment of the Office OF
War Mobilization, headed by JUS
tice Byrnes. He said the OWN
should be given a chance to work,
and he deprecated warnings by sew
eral of his visitors that the Unit
ed States might face food Short
