of beef), butchers work shop,
rending room for fats, storage
room for fats, storage room
for prepared cuts of meat, and
the office.
Purpose of the plant is to teach
GI cooks better ways to cut meat
for the best results and to furnish
SOU. 1922 and attached units with
choice cuts for more delicious meals.
Before this plant was opened, all
meats came to mess halls in one
piece including bones and lots of
fat. Much time was lost trying to
prepare the meat to fill require
ments of the days menu. The menu
may have called for roast and the
meat that was issued could only be
made into stew. The cooks are now
able to spend more time in cooking
the meat since there is not too much
fat and bones to waste time clearing
away.
Glasses Daily
There are two meat cutting classes
held each day The first class meets
during the morning and the second
class meets during the afternoon.
The students are members of the
92nd Division, SOU 1922 and at
tached units. They work in the
Butchers Work Shop, in which
there are two rows of meat blocks
where each student has a separate
block to work on. Meat is brought
into the butchers work shop from
the storage room where students
under the skillful eyes of their in
structors, T/5 Minnie P. Lackey and
Pfc. Horace Scott, learn the better
ways of cutting meat.
Nothing Wasted
After the better parts of the meat
have been separated from the fat
and bones nothing is wasted. The
fat is processed in the rending room
and stored. This fat is later issued
to units in place of lard.
The bones are issued to units, who
ask for them, for the purpose of
making soups. If no unit calls for
these bones, they are sent to a sal
wage unit. Sometimes these bones
are ground for chicken feed and
fertilizer.
Plant Personnel
T/5th Minnie p Lackey, Meridian,
Miss, is in charge of the plant and
also instructs the students in the
cutting of meat. She enlisted into
the WAAC November IA, 1912, COM

Cotton Mills On Full Time

Boston, Oct, 6-(UP)-pFesident Russell T, Fisher of the National Association of Cotton Manufacture CTS said today that tho cotton in- dustry apparently will continue at full.tlme operation for the greater part of l94S with indefinite poSt- penemeht Of conversion to a peace. time eaSia,
 Addressing the annual meeting oi tho Association, Fisher Rdded thai army authorities anticipate aE overall increase in cotton require ments rather than a decrease d tho end Of the European war
 Fisher said a textile expert haG referred Co the EuFopen war AS "f weelen md worSted war, whereas IL the Pacific theater it will Do pEim' arily a cotton war"
 Fisher said that the impoFtanet of cotton mills in thlS war ear hardly be ovor-emphasised"
 Rated by tho quarter-maStel general As next to steel in import Anee, textiles have been supplied tc the army and the navy in billions of yards" he revealed ., unlike mest industries, there was no need of more mills, no turning to the government for millions for eXpan. sion, no eoStsplus contracts and nc Fationing of our products to the public"
 He also predicted more military uses for fabrics made from Fayon and other synthetic fibers, AS an illustration, he cited new nylon uniform for tropical use that has been developed at the climaetie res search laboratory,
 StresSing the importance of mili- tATy commitments, Fisher said that the supply of eottoas and rayons for public consumption probably will continue to Do less than the demand,
 Discussing the more distant out. look for mills in New England Fisher said that continued opera ton was dependent primarily or tho establishment of competitive labor costs" He said that the wage QilIeEtltlui VI NbbAb sN RSA SNtA' against northern mills must be sub' stantially reduced to meet southern competition,
 Tn his secretarial report, Fishe' revealed that postwar competition with foreign countries will conSti' ute 0 condition that will Do ruin ous," He pointed to the fact tha' wages in Great Britain's textile mills were about 20 cents an how below the present minimum in mos northern mills in this country. Re ports, he said, indicate that British mills have not been subjected tx much bombing damage and orr ready to go after the export mar kets when the war Is won.
 Discussing the tight textile em' ployment situation, he said th' army cut-backs in all industries ought to result in releasing worker: for textile jobs.
