Maryland Poultry Output

Shortage of vitamin A supple
ments for poultry feeds, caused by
the prolonged drought in Maryland,
is beginning to affect pullets now
coming into production throughout
the State, it was reported today.
DR.. M. A. JUL, head of the poultry
department at the University of
Maryland, said there is a definite
shortage of alfalfa leaf meal, one
of the main sources of vitanain A in
mixed poultry feeds. He said short
age Of vitamin A-bearing corn also
is being felt.
DR.. JUL said prolonged def
cheney of vitamin A will reduce egg
production and generally lower the
health Of birds. He said that in ad-
dition to egg producers, the A vita
min shortages are being felt by
Eastern Shore broiler producers.
DR.. JUL explained that last sum-
mer's weather dried up most of the
grass In many parts OF the State,
reducing that source Of vitamin A.

Harrison, West, Wheatley, Gales
and Seaton Schools yesterday joined
The Evening Star-P-TA Salvage
for Victory waste paper campaign,
bringing to 50 the number of schools
now participating-a figure con-
sidered very encouraging in view of
the short time in which the program
has been under development.
OF the first so schools in total
paper collected last year, 36 are back
in the drive this year, and others
have signified their intention of
joining up as soon as preliminary
arrangements can be made.
Collections were encouraging at all
schools cooperating during the first
three DAYS, especially in view of the
fact that only two or three DAYS
preparation had preceded the actual
collection.
Two of the schools, jefferson Junior
and Shaw Junior. exceeded a ton
each, Jefferson turning in 2,275
pounds and Shaw, 2,021. Other large
producers were Cleveland, with $3.50
pounds; Grimke. with 1881 pounds,

children to suffer. Back of the
affliction visited upon good
people is not the wrath of an an
gered or offended God. It's pur-
pose is discipline. Back of af-
Fiction is not the wrath of an Of
Tended God, but the love of an in

ly Father who takes great pains
with His children to bring out the
best that is in them because He
hasa high destiny for them. Some
one has said that the affection for
the people of God is, Dictated
by divine love, directed by di-
vine wisdom and aimed at the
highest end" Suffering for the
children of God is nothing more
nor less than chastisement which
is "child-training'. my son, de-
spise not thou the Christening OF
the Lord, nor faint when thou art
rebuked of him: For whom the
Lord loveth he chasteneth, and
scourgeth every son whom he re-
ceiveth. If We endure Christening
God dealeth with you as with
sons: for what son is he whom
the father chaSteneth not? But il
We be without chastisement
whereof all are partakers, then
are We bastards, and not sons. d
| (Hebrews 1853.
Peter emphasizes the fact that
suffering for Christ's sake devel-
ops the finer Christian virtues.
q Peter 4:12-14) Paul emphasiz-
es the same truth when he said,
"And not only so, but we glory
in tribulations also: knowing that
tribulation Worketh patience; and
patience, experience; and ex-
perience hope. Not only does
tribulation develop patience and
hope but brings a vital Christian
experience. Through it man ex-
periences the love of God and di-
vine consolation.
Suffering develops our seful-
ness, sorrows, sufferings, difficult
ties and hardships aid us under
the guiding hand of God to do the
best and be the best our nature is
capable of. Development of the
individual brings greater powers

Sunday School
Lesson In Brief
By REV. 3. A. MEEKS

Subject: Peter Comforts Perse-
cuted Christians.
Bible Passages: I Peter 3:l3-l1;
4:12-16; $3.50.
Golden Text: For it is better,
if the will of God be SO, that We
suffer for we'll doing, than for
evil doing" - Peter 3:17.
Why the God of Love permits
good people to suffer is a problem
which has vexed the mind OF
man from time immemorial. 1t
is readily understood why the
wicked, the ungodly, and those
guilty of some great crime have
to suffer. All realize that no one
can transgress a law without ex-
pecting to suffer the consequence.
Suffering of wrong doors arouses
little pity. But the suffering OF
innocent people melts our hearts
in sympathy. This being our ma
ture it is most difficult to under
stand why the people of God are
called upon to suffer without
cause.
Peter partially answers this
perplexing problem when he
says, Even hereunto were We
called, because Christ also suffer-
ed for us, leaving us an example
that We should follow his steps"
Good Christians are sort of peo-
pie that are called to be sufferers
and therefore should expect it.
BY the very terms of Christianity
they are bound to deny them
selves and take up their cross and
follow Jesus. We find our Lord
saying, Think not that I am
come to send peace on earth: !
came not to send peace, but a
sword; Eye shall be hated of all
men for my names sake; "Be-
hold I send you forth as sheep
among wolves. Such was the
prospect with which the first
Christians went forth to conquer
the world for Christ. When Paul
was called to be an apostle the
Christ said of him, For I will
show him how great things he
must suffer for my names sake.
AS we follow the lives of the
apostles and early Christians we
find that the picture which
Christ painted of their sufferings
was all too true. They literally
followed their Lord as they made
the supreme sacrifice for the Cos
pels sake.
The people of God are not cal
led upon to suffer as a punish
ment. Punishment is not the pur-
pose Of God in permitting His
