TN THE meat-rationed months ahead,
/ 225, 600 hogs will be marketed from
farms that Metropolitan helped to put
on productive basis. Many an Ameri-
can family will enjoy fine roast of pork
from one of them.
What's life insurance company got
to do with pigs? Simply this -.
Agriculture has always been basic
American industry, and helping to
finance it has been a proper investment
for life insurance companies. Thousands
of loans have been made by life insurance
companies to help farmers improve their
lands and buildings and thus increase
food production.
Metropolitan has been active for over
IS years in making farm loans. In addi-
ton, Metropolitan has had the oppor-
tunity to rehabilitate good many farms
under Company management. A major
ity Of these have since been sold to real
dirt farmers, but some still remain in the
Company's possession.
This spring found these farms ready
to take part in a wartime pig-raising
program. Inasmuch as these farms are
broadly representative of the farms on
which life insurance companies have
made loans, we'd like to give you some
figures.
In answer to Americas call for more
meat, these farms will help produce, di-
rectly or indirectly, about l75,OOO pigs
this summer, and perhaps another so 900
pigs next fall. This is an increase of about
Evening star., 1943-07-11

28 million pounds of pork over that pro-
duced on the same farms in 1942.
This year. pork production on these
farms will total nearly IS million pounds
:. enough to provide one million Ameri-
cans with more than one pound of pork
each week for an entire year! In addition,
these farms will put 1900 head of beef
cattle on the market this summer. Next
fall, 1000 more head will be put in feed
lots.
Meanwhile. Metropolitan policyhold-
ers, through their Company, have made
and are making an important and much
needed contribution to the nations war
time food supply. Every time they pay
their premiums, policyholders express
their own faith in the future of the ma
tion and in the future of American agri-
culture, helping farmers contribute to a
healthier, more abundant America.

luncheon of the New York GRID

in a tie.
Mai. Woodrow Wilson, chief Of
the Army scouts, declared the Irish

Cleveland Saturday was the peer
of any college forward wall and the
equal of many in the pro circuit
He was on the opinoin that the
loss of Angelo Bertelli, 1-dotting
forward passer for the South Beno
eleven, was not great because Of
the ability shown by Johnny LII
jack, his replacement. LuJack will
take over the quarterback slot
against the Cadets, Bertelli moving
to a Marines training camp fol-
lowing theh cocnkuest of Navy.
Jack Lavelle, Notre Dame alum
nus and scout for the Frank Leahy
board of strategy at every Army
contest this year, declared that
the West Point tackles, Joseph
Stanowicz and Francis Merritt,
were the best in the land this year
and that Casimir Myslinski carried
on the tradition of great Cadet
centers.
-CPhj5Rg
Walter Kennedy. head of the
Notre Dame publicity staff, offer
ed in rebuttal that Leahy, coach of
the Irish, had said thhe loss of
Bertelli was comparable to cut
ting the heart out of man."
'LuJack isn't entirely inexper-
ienced." Kennedy added, ''but you
ment for Creighton Miller at half
will notice that he was replace
back more than he was for Ber-
tell at quarterback. He described
the 18-year-old youth at good
passer. good runner and a de-
fensive stand-out.'
He quoted Leahy in ansker to
the statement of Major Wilson that
Notre Dame wasn't worried about
Bertelli's leaving, "Otherwise they
would have taken Angelo out of
the --avy game when Notre Dame
got two touchdown lead and dis
covered what the kid could do. In
saead, Leahy kept Bertelli in there
and let LuJeck sit on the bench"
Quentin Reynolds, war CORES
pondent and a star lineman at
Brown University in the early
1905, brought an end to the Army
Notre Dame controversy by asking
as a former tackle" if the T.
formation, which both of Satur-
days rivals use this season, could
be run without holding by the Of

These kids have pepper at

polished ball players. It's fun to be
around them.
"Most of them are too young for
service yet, but they're pointed
toward thhat goal and football

result they enjoy the game, and
I can't help falling into the same
groove"
Sure, football was a grind last
year." Doherty reflected. Look at
who we played - West Virginia,
Clemson, North Carolina Naval
Pre-Flight, Wake Forest, George
town, Temple, Jordan and Boston
University in that order.
"Then Holy Cross played US, S.
II. We got the II. Then we lost
to Alabam, 1921 in the Orange
Bowl.
THAT was high-pressure stuff
big crowds, long practices, skull
sessions on pullmans, and plenty
of headaches.

CAMP DAVIS. - Licking their
wounds following their defeat by

gridders began preparations f r

this Saturday.
A roll call disclosed important
absentees due to injuries. Johnny
Mellus, bulWark of the line, might
be derailed for the balance of the
season because of knee wounds.
Originally the former All-American
had nursed one Dad knee. He not
only aggravated that member but
incurred disability. to his other
knee.
Torn ligaments in his ankle will
remove the fleet Angelo Provenza-
no from the Blue Brigade back
field list indefinitely. One of the
AA defensive heroes against the
Marines was Stan Yoder. However,
this stalwart was telled by a badly
impaired ankle and also suffered
a severe back injury.
The props were knocked from
under George Breeding, end, who
was just about getting his bearing
under the Blue Brigade banner.
Added to these was a fair proper
ton of aches, pains, and bruises
to various other Anti-aircrafters.

The Wolfpack came out of the

few minor injuries, and Newton
said all would be ready for Sat
