CONCERN ABOUT BEEF

Editor E. A. Shorty Dye of the Helena ndependent-Recor
is somewhat concerned, as a Montanan, over recent action of
the OPA in meat rationing.
"In effect, the OPA action in doubling the time for red
stamps, has doubled the point values of butter, cheese and prime
beef cuts. Many families will have their choice of using their
present amount of butter, and going without beef, or cutting
down on butter to get an occasional steal" is his comment. The
OPA will have to try again if the widely heralded surplus of
beef is turned into retail markets with any chance of disposing
of it"
He points up a situation that is giving every Montana
rancher, and many farmers, deep concern. Our beef herds have
been expanded to a point, under governmental urging, where
many ranges are overgrazed. The number of stock is far above
what can be safely handled in the event of a dry year or a
sudden demand for feed.
, We can only speculate on the course the government would
take in case of a drouth. Only last year, farmers were pressured
to grow potatoes as a patriotic move. Many responded. We know
a good many who literally were left holding the bag.
America has been extremely fortunate on the food front,
with a series of good years almost unprecedented in farming
We hope this will be another good one. But we cannot help
but wonder what will happen if it isn't.

Frozen Eggs, First Properly

Scarcer and higher in price this fall

two sets of samples, opening one
set at the end of a week TO see
what changes the freezing had

The eight samples in each set
were whole eggs, unStirred, stirred,

when and how it develops has not

When the first set of samples
was opened at the end of a week,
the unSJirred eggs and yolks were
practically unusable as the yolks
had soldified. The plain stirred

HOSPITAL A COMMUNITY ASSET

In several nearby counties, campaigns are under way t.
finance construction of hospital buildings. The expressed neec
in these communities serves to remind us what an asset a mod
en and well-run hospital is to us.
Like a good many other public, and frequently unselfish
services. our hospital and its work are too often taken for
granted by many of us. No one can say how many lives it has
saved. but if we stop to think we can see people every day who
would not be here except for the modern equipment and skilled
care that are available.
The achievements and progress of medicine in recent years
have been many and rapid. Sometimes we accept them as a
matter of course. We read of declining death rates in the ma
ton, but we forget that some of these miracles of medicine are
saving lives almost daily right in our town.
War has brought difficult problems for the hospital and its
supervisor. The military services have drained many nurses and
skilled technicians from the staff. Workers of all kinds are
scarce. Supplies and equipment, in some cases, are limited
But, by stretching things, by working long hours, handicaps have
been overcome.
Hospital Day observance will be held here Friday. 1t might
well be an occasion for many of us to gain a little knowledge
of what our hospital offers. Of all the things that have come to
Glasgow and Valley county in recent years, none will be of
more lasting benefit than this institution.

THEY PICK EN- -

daniels County LEADER
Along about this time of year the newspaper correspondents at Wash
ington do a little voting. Their voting includes the serious as well as the
frivolous. They decide, for example, who is the most useful official at
Washington, who is the most useless, who is the best statesman in the
senate and what senator is the LATEST, the most popular ladys man, the
best dancer, the biggest eater, the richest, the best educated, etc.
For the most uSeful-no, it wasn't the preident-Chief of Staff Gen
eral George Marshall was chosen, Secretary Hull came next.
For the most useless, Madame Perkins, secretary of labor, was almost
the unanimous choice. Next to Madame Perkins came Secretary Nor
genthau, as the newspaper mn seem to think he knows little about
finance. Claude Wickard, secretary of agriculture, came next and then
Vice President wallace.

phosphate fertilizer per acre to a
meadow in the spring increased
hay production for the next three

Not only was the field increased
