able fairly apportioned.
OF course, this program does
not concern every family. for in
1886 a national survey showed
that families with incomes of less
than $500 per year averaged only
/ y pounds of meat per person
per week, while families with in
comes Of $4,000 or more per year
averaged 5 pounds per person
per week. No one expects those

But the other day one of the
largest milk concerns on the East

ever thrust into an empty milk

one milkman: "Mulkman l wiete

Every once in while he finds a

will be just like the day before
And there's the comic relief

\ Sometimes the customer will
let him in on a secret as in this
one: "Milkman Call tomorrow.

authority on Eskimo life.
on a recent visit, Professor
Butueworth pitched his tent in
the Trelsartz village right next
TO the igloo Of Spirko Multicu,

then foods which can replace the

%HARE the meat!


Each citizen, each home
- manager, each child. today
needs a clear idea of why he is
expected TO join the share the
meat" campaign already inaug-
urated on a national scale.
In the first place. it is patri-
otto to share, because this meat
restriction plan is vitality neces-
sary in order that our own forces
and those of our allies have all
the meat possible.
Second, ii is only fair TO share,
in Justice 10 those unable TO shop
early, such as war workers who
cannot get TO the store until near
the end of the day, when they
might find no meat.
Third, it is wise to share, be-
cause this will promote the most
efficient handling of the entire
seasons supplies.
Why share the meat?
Roughly. the answer is one of
Simple arithmetic; the total year
ly supply Of dressed meats is
estimated at around "a billion
pounds: if civilians were allowed
to purchase all they want Tor on
the basis of former meat pur-
chases), they would take u bill
lion pounds; but the army, navy,
and 1end.fease needs amount 10
some 7 billion pounds OF meat;
hence, the civilian supply must
be held around II billion pounds
TO provide for war needs.
IL has been calculated that
such a fair share" OF meat TO
every adult, or adolescent, Of nor
nal meat-eating habits, win be
satisfied on basis OF 2i2 pounds
Of meat per week.
II should be clearly under
stood. however. that this program
does not call on everyone 10 cut
consumption on beef, veal, pork.
and lamb; but that il calls for
reduction only by those persons
who have been accustomed TO
eating more than 2lg pounds per
week.
Again, this is not an enforce
ment for uniform "meatless
days" in every home. but allows
the housewife 10 make her own
individual solution: thus, some
families may prefer one meatless
day cor their community may so
direct; or other families may
prefer meatless meals. or stIu
-4thers may decide Ia reduce por-
tions as served at several or all
the meals OF the week, or work
out their preference in combina-
tons OF all these methods de
pending on the family, the ages
Of the children. etc.
1t should also be uniformly UNI
dcrstood that-th sharing allow
ance is based only on retail cuts,
sausage and canned meats made
from beef, veal, pork and lamb;
but that il does not include what
are called variety meats" that
Is, liver. kidneys, heart, sweet
breads, tail. feet, tripe, etc, etc.
Further. the allowance is cal
culated bone in, =" as for example.

the statement Of the public relations
representative Of the Department Of
Vehicles and Traffic, referring to four
deaths last year from bicycle acci-
dents: If we had some control over
the bicycles in this city and could
inspect them for safety we could cut
down these accidents"
There is no statistical evidence to
support any such statement. Four
boys, between fifteen and seventeen
years old, were killed last year when
their bicycles were in collision with
automobiles. A seventy-nine-year-
old woman died as the result OF in
juries after being hit by a bicycle
on the sidewalk, ridden by four
teen-year- boy. There are no
available statistics, as matter Of
fact, to prove that the annual me-
chanical inspection Of automobiles
has reduced traffic accidents. In
spector Arthur E. Miller says three
out OF four bicycle accidents are
caused by traffic violations. Why not
try enforcing the regulations, instead
Of setting up new, expensive methods
Of keeping the traffic authorities
busy? If we begin inspecting bicycles,
roller skates, as sure as shooting, will
be next on the list.

Tax Collectors Item

About everything else under the
sun being subject to a license, a
ceiling, quota, priority, a regis

somebody on the public payroll, there
may be merit in the proposal that
bicycles be added to the list. There

partment of Vehicles and Traffic,
which obviously views with alarm
the decreasing number of automo-
biles.
This proposed registration Of the
bicycle, one of the few remaining
remnants of rugged American indi-
viduality, may be necessary. But we
should not be stampeded into more
legislation calling for periodic me-
chanical inspection of bicycles, espe-
cially If this new nuisance proposal

A Community Problem

There is an increasing awareness
of the need to deal more effectively,
through sound cooperation between
the police, courts and the health
authorities, with venereal disease
attributed to commercial vice. There
are proposals for additional legisla-
ton, If any is necessary, which will
have as its purpose systematized
routine of medical inspection and
treatment of disease carriers appre-
hended by the police. Other COM
munities in the United States have
made progress in dealing with the
menace through such methods.
But the war has revealed an even
more insidious source of infection,
closely linked with the alarming in
crease in juvenile delinquency. The
Rev. John w. Rustin, president OF the
washington Federation of Churches,
in a letter to Washington ministers,
calls to their attention the part that
churches may play in attacking this
evil at its roots. Wilbur La Roe,
chairman of the federation's Com
mittee on Civic Affairs, attributes the
growing juvenile delinquency rate to
"a breakdown in normal family life.
Families are being uprooted and torn
asunder. Under these war pressures
there is a loss of spiritual values and

tie front has compensations OF incalcu-
liable value. All pain, misfortune and
disaster have repeatedly proved but
highways by which nations and individ-
uals have attained their true greatness.
The mightiest example of this is found
in the cruel death of Him whose whole
ministry and whose whole life were given
that men might attain a better under
. standing of what life was really designed
to be. 1t is the highest Interpretation of
se1-giving the world has ever known.
In seeking to interpret the purpose of
the cross and Of its sinless victim, the
Man OF Nazareth said: II, if I be lifted
up, will draw all men unto me-" These
prophetic words have rung down through
the corridors Of time, and again and
again they have had such magnetic and
compelling power that men have come
to yield to them and to understand their
fuller and deeper meaning.
Rebelious as at times we may be,
when we have had to accept pain, we
have found that only so can we learn the
true meaning and the purpose of life.
We cannot but believe that out of this
Gethsemane of suffering, touching as it
does every home throughout the land,
there is being born new kind of world;
world in which selfshness must give
place to selflessness. We dare not believe,
even IN the face of multiplied tragedies,
that our precious sons are giving their
lives for anything else than an emanci-
pated, redeemed and peaceful world.
Without such an inspiring belief we shall
continue to grope in darkness and in
ver-deepening shadows
To every home that has known grief
and suffering may this larger nobler
Interpretation Of life and its purpose be
made more real and evident.

THAT These DEAD
By the Right Reu. JAMES Z. FREEMAN D. D, ILL., d. D. c. L.
Bishop of WASHINGTON

Memorial Sunday this year takes on a
new and deeper significance. It is no
longer day recognized by section of
our people, nor is its application alone to
those who in civil strife laid down their
lives that this Nation, under God,
should not perish from the earth" In
every part of our broad land, from hum
BILE home and cottage to palace and
mansion, this latest Memorial Day has a
poignant and inescapable significance.
From this as yet sheltered land, millions
of our men have gone forth not only in
defense of the principles and ideals We
most dearly cherish, but in defense of
people scattered far and wide through
the world, who have been subject to
the cruelties and barbarities of despotic
rulers.
In such time as this the spirit of
sellshness and self-interests play an in
conspicuous role. Possibly for the first
time in our history we are being COM
PEELED to think in broader and more
comprehensive terms, and we are learn
ing at great cost what our part must be
In the ultimate restoration of the worlds
order and peace. Since Lincoln uttered
his immortal words on the battlefield Of
Gettysburg, that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in
vain," a new conception Of Americas
indispensable part in maintaining with
zeal and fine consistency every interest
near and far has become increasingly
evident. Human interests have been so
closely knit through these worldwide
catastrophes we are beginning to learn,
reluctant as we may be to do so, that
what affects the fortunes of one section
or part Of the world concerns all sections.
AT times 1t seems hard to believe that
the terrible cost we have to pay in the
lives of our sons on some far-flung bat
