Fire caused by a short in the

Tuesday. The blaze started about
4:45 a. m. and caused a loss esti-
mated at $4,000.
Casa Grande's volunteer fire de-
partment was able to confine the
fire to the theatre building, al
though the Clements building ad-
Joining was damaged to an extent
of $500. The stock of the Bone
brake used furniture store was
damaged by smoke and water to
an extent of $500.
The loss was covered by insur-
ance. An electrician had. been

Captain Steward recently saw

writes, Jimmy is fine boy and
the leader of a squadron" One
thing that Steward has not been
able to understand is the totally
selfish attitude of a certain class
of Americans, who were pictured
disporting themselves on Miami
Beach and in its swank and expen-
sive night clubs in a recent issue
of a national magazine. Steward
enclosed those two pages in a let

represent" he writes, "are the
things that make the men over

resent the majority of people at

and thousands like them. You
SHOULD have heard the discussion
among the men who saw these pic
lures in the officers quarters. /"
For contrast, Steward said, there
was another article in the same
magazine, telling of the treatment
accorded American prisoners by
the Japs, and sit makes you won

Meat Points Are
Removed May 4
Except On Beef
Beef flank steak included in
list of new point-free
meats. Other beef items
remain at values listed on
May chart.

All cuts of pork, veal, lamb and
mutton, and all other rationed
meats except beef steaks and
roasts became ration-free at 1901
a. m. Thursday, May 4. by order
of Chester Bowles, OPA chief.
Other items which are now
point-free include beef flank steak
(the only beef steak to come off
the ration list), beef hamburger,
beef stew meat, all kinds of va
riety meats, sausage, ready-to-eat
meats, canned meat and canned
fish.
For the benefit of both the trade
and consumers, the district OPA
rationing division emphasized that
the following beef items will re-
main at the point values listed on
the May chart: Porterhouse, T.
bone, club, rib, sirloin, round and
chuck steaks; rib, round, chuck
and English cut roasts. Further
more, there are no reductions in
point values of margarine, butter.
canned milk and cheese.
At tie same time, OPA changed
the procedure of validating meat
and fat stamps. Beginning Sun
day, May z, OPA will validate 80
red points every four weeks, in
stead of every two weeks, as has
been the recent procedure. Red
stamps RS, ,S8 and T8 will become
good Sunday, but no more red
stamps will be validated until
June 3-four weeks hence.
Red point allotments granted in
stitutional users of rationed meats
such as restaurants, hotels, lunch
rooms and other eating places.
will be decreased in keeping with
the new order, OPA said.
In announcing the major change,
the OPA administrator said points
were being removed from pork be-
cause of the record run of hogs
and near pork slaughter. Lamb
and mutton production. he stated,
also is much. greater than last
year, and drought in certain sheep
growing areas increased the need
for action.
81 cannot say now when or
whether the meats we are now
making point-fres win again have
to be given point values" Bowles
said. Much depends upon the feed
situation, which in turn, is depen-
dent in large measure on the
weather."
