Method Explained
Large packing houses filling

ded; larger packers have killing
quotas: they are government in
spected, and thereby are able TO
eapably handle government con-
tracts. Smaller operators are
killing meat under quotas set at
slack production period. They
can only kill so much beef cattle.
A large packer is offered a COW
or beef for slaughtering purposes
by a farmer; they quote a price
far below what it costs him TO
raise stock. and he refuses. Taking
the beef home ne slsuehters il,

Hoffman has asked for an in

area 10 determine whether il will
be necessary TO build the often
proposed extension of Sitkum ave.

highway, WAS to be concluded
Thursday. Works Commissioner
A. r. Bergersen announced.
Bergersen said that, despite
gas rationing. he believed the
count would prove conclusive
~ that the road extension
should be constructed.
He pointed out that the traffic
in the immediate future is certain
to become heavier as the extension
would be direct outlet from the
tideflats to Salishan, where 1000
homes for war plant workers are
being erected.
The project was announced
temporarily abandoned about
month ago in order to see what
affect gas rationing would have
on tideflats travel. The new traf-
fic count was ordered by the U. S.
bureau of roads.

ment. Shortly afterwards. he had
yen for travel and decided to
visit Mexico city. He liked the
city 80 well that ne stayed a
month. Apparently the city was
intriguing enough 10 entice him
again for another visit. He spent
some time there about a year ago.
Schroeder can qualify as an am
bassador Of good will to Mexico.
He plans 10 visit there again in
the near future.
In 1896. he opened a store and
sold electrical appliances. He was
successful in this endeavor until
the war and priorities began to
affect him. Foreseeing the trend
he decided to branch out in an
other field = the selling of Christ
mas trees. In addition he manu-
featured holly wreaths and other
Christmas ornaments. The fame
Of his organization has spread and
he is now selling to customers all
over the Pacific coast. He plans
to expand further next fall when
the trade moves into its seasonal
peak.
HAS WON AND LOST
Schroeders political activities
have been limited TO the legis-
lature. He ran for the representa-
tive post in '33 and was not sue
cessful However, in '35 he was
elected. In 81 he tried for
senate seat and was defeated. But
he has had continued success since
then. He won in 80. Al and of
course is here for the '43 session.
Schroeder's plans for the session
will be stressed on economy. He
feels that even though the state |
is well fixed financially, there is
no reason to spend money unreas-
onably. He will support civilian
defense and will approve necessary
financial aid to distressed cities.
The senator lives at 72s No.
st, Puyallup, with his
wife and child, Theodore, age Is.
Schroeder, busy in his workaday
life, is now just as busy during
mis- legislative days. Just keep an
eye on him - IL you can keep up
with him.

OF the sultry afternoon. came the
blast of the ASP chow whistle.
That broke up good ball game
as the both teams were just pre-

last summer when total attendance
was 3.5S0.S67.
There will be 20 units travelling

more spOt-booked units from New

in statistics issued this week. This
month there were 1.064 perform
