RATI0NED MEAT
POINTS REMAIN

WASHINGTON, July 27. -P)-l
Current point values on all ra-
toned meats and dairy products
will be continued until at least
August ID, the Office of Price Ad-
ADMINISTRATION announced today.
The decision was in effect a
postponement for two weeks of the
War Food Administration recent
directive ordering OPA to remove
most beef steaks and roasts from
rationing by August l. The direc-
tive also authorized restoration
of point values to pork loins and
hams.
OPA protested the enforcement
of the directive would disrupt cat
tie prices and flood the retail mar
ket with an excess of ration points.
The VIA order directed elimin-
alton of point values on CONNER
cial and utility grades of beef
steaks and roasts. leaving only the
two top grades-choice and good
under rationing. The supply of beef
available to the public is made up
mostly to the commercial and util-
ity grades.
The controversy between the two
agencies is now before Stabiliza-
ton Director Fred M. Vinson and
War Mobilization Chief James F
Byrnes for settlement.
As a result of the dispute, the
printing of August meat and process
sed food point charts for retail
stores has been delayed. OPA said
they could not be distributed be-
fore August -.
OPA spokesman limited that
while no new processed fooei
charts will be distributed immedi.
ately, two or three changes in point
values on canned foods probably
will be announced later this week.
The changes will be effective Sun
day, the day any revision in the
meats-fats point values normally
would have been put into effect.
OPA also announced that three
more ten-point red stamps-A-5,
BIS and C-5-in ration book four
will become valid Sunday for buy
ing meats, fats and dairy products.
They will be good indefinitely.

WHY THE
RUSH?
BY
Rev. Charles Milton Griffeth
BY

While driving along with a
friend, a car slipped up behind us
and shot past with terrific speed,
only to pull up suddenly a short
distance ahead at a garage.
Said my friend to me, well, he
certainly was in big hurry to get
nowhee-"
Have you not met a number of
people like that-always in big
hurry to get nowhere? Why are
they always in such haste? BY
rushing, they save possibly five
minutes. But when they arrive
they throw the five minutes away
Most of us are living at rush
speed, under heavy strain and at
high tension. God has not built
the human body for such strains at
which most of us are forced to live
today. Is it any wonder the hos
pitfalls and asylums are overflow
ing?
In the picture of the ideal life
which God planned for man, as pre-
sented to us in the opening chap
ters of Genesis, we find nothing of
this modern nervous tension. Rath-
er we find man moving with slower
tempo, having time to gaze upon,
admise, and dring in the beauty of
nature which surrounded him.
Is it possible for you to relax
sufficiently to capture the serene
peacefulness of Gods Edenic para
disc? Can you slow down that
nerve destroying selfish, grasping,
rush for more" to such an extent
that you can grasp the conception
that "sufficiency is wealth.?
There is One who did it. He
lived among men an unhurried life
of wealth. Although He did not
possess two coins to rub together,
yet He has poured more wealth
into the life of this world than has
any other person. This same Christ
