crease in number of cattle. This
creates a feeding problem that
results in ranchers taking half
grown, undernourished cattle to
market, where they produce beef
that at best is good" (third
grade) but more often falls into
the lower grades that are nutri-
tious but not very palatable.
This purpose of all this is to
save grain-to make it available
for human consumption, for poul-
try, for dair" herds, for the max.
ing of alcohol.
WAR NEEDS GRAIN
In announcing t h elimination
of ration points on most meats,
the OPA chose to mention partic-
ularly the saving of grain to make
alcohol for synthetic rubber. That
was poor choice Of illustration.
It proves the arguments made by
observers, when the synthetic
rubber program was being plan
ned, that petroleum was both a
| SAA~oPSA SOoASC VI
synthetic rubber and also a more
desirable one, because it would
not draw on grain supplies that
were going to become inadequate.
The farm lobby managed to put
across part of its butadiene-from-
grain program, however, and now
we are short of grain.
More valid points that might
have been mentioned were that al
cohol for explosives must come
in considerable part from grain,
and that more nutritional value can
be created by feeding grain to
dairy cattle than by feeding it
to beef cattle merely to make meat
more chewable and more tasty.
In any event, the fact remains
that there isn't enough grain, and
therefore we must reconcile our
selves to third, fourth and fifth
rate meat until we have won the
war

Speaks AT Moss

The Rev. Scotty Mccall, exec
utive secretary of the State Mis-
sion Board who is conducting a
revival at the First Baptist
church in Moss Point, addressed
the Moss Point Rotary Club on
Thursday, ~stressing the impor-
lance of works of peEmanen-
cy."
Mr.. Mccall used the illustra-
ton of the man who built the
pyramids and who was after
ward killed. These material
works of the man are showing
today the effects of sun, wind
and rain, he pointed out.
There was a missionary in
China, though" he said, who
was drowned, but today, long af-
ter his death, there are schools,
missions and hospitals through
China that will prove the effec-
tiveness of that mans deeds for
ever"
In response to President Frank
G. Spapn's plea for better at
tendance, the entire membership
with the exception of two was
present. With make ups it is
expected that the attendance for
the day will reach 100 per cent.
