I OOK at What has happened in the egg
L business >Eor long time there was
a great shUrtagcNof eggs and, of course,
the prices flew sky nigh. phen 1t was dis
covered that The WEN War Food Nd
minstratonl had been operdoing the bus
mess of ClutChing up all the eggs as fast
as the hens could let go.
1t had to provide for the ARMIES and
the Lcnd-Lease exports. But, am of
sudden, somebody found that the VIVA
had accumulated eggs enough for two
wars They decided TO throw on the
market a small matter of five million cases
of eggs. That is quite few eggs. There
are 30 dozen cggs7.ln a case, and that
means $50 million dozen, or one billion
500 million eggs
But one of the other bureaus said:
III we throw five million eases of
eggs OF the market, won't il scare oil
production for next year,"
This worry was a trifle too late for
production had already been pretty well
stopped Tor next year. since people who
had been propaganized 10 raise chickens
had found it practically impossible TO buy
feed for them. So they ate them and that
is one of the best ways 10 keep hen
from fav1Hg eggs.
ftcd puifCtS pfUuuCo TO DcH IIulJ.
4 ND now the chicken business is whore
a the. cattle business is. The cattle rsi&r-
crs can't buy feed for their herds, 50 they
are flooding the market with undcrfcd cattle
Whom those arc gone, There won't be any
more till heaven knows whom
This week the hogs uprooted moro hu-
rcaus BY putting low ceilings on the price
Of pork and leaving it impossible to get feed
the burcaucrats had forced the people who
raise rorkers to tHrn them loose on the
market Now they are running hog-wild
everywhere like the devil possessed Gadarcnc
swine. They're taking the prices over the
cliff with them, leaving the OPA ceiling IN
the ain.
Thr-c7rz business in sirffiiaf,- @t-ti,-5
and one Of the hardest things on earth to
Go is 10 uuscrambe eggs.

Clerical work in the Arlington

this time by the use Of new applica-

Members of the board, the small
paid staff and daytime volunteer
workers have efflciently handled the
