meat rationing can be ended"
Earlier in the day rationing Of
fetal had stated that meat might

supplies look good by the end OF the
month" but said that a final. de-
cision remained to be made by the
two agencies.
The OPA action of Saturday re-
moving quote limits on the amount
of cattle which may be slaughtered
was based on forecasts of heavy
deliveries of livestock to the pack
ing houses. 1t was accepted wide
ly as indicating a possible early
end to rationing.
The quota limits were imposed
on slaughter houses last April to
improve the distribution OF meat
supplies over the country.
The quotas reduced the volume
of slaughtering by n-Federally in
spected plants, which cannot ship
meat across state lines. By chan
neling more meat into the Federal
ly inspected plants, OPA hoped to
increase the amount of meat flow
ing from the producing areas to
Eastern and Western states which
suffered most severely during the
meat shortages.

Bowles has assured Congress that
most rationing will end this year,

"Absenteeism is something that

Ihe biggest piece OF news in many
years affecting purebred dogs came
out OF the Office of Defense Trans
portation just before the Judging of
the finals at Madison Square Garden
recently. In the first excitement of
release, it sounded as though all dog
shows were to be banned for the
duration from that date forward.
Closer investigation revealed that
the order affected not all dog shows,
but the travelling to and from such
shows.
In other words, dog shows, as such,
were permissible. They are to be
limited. however, to entries and ex-
hibitorS from within a moderate
committing distance of the show
grounds. Show giving clubs in the
Washington area may draw an entry
from Arlington, Fairfax, Montgom-
cry and Prince George Counties.
Possibly, the area may be extended
to include Baltimore and vicinity,
since it is true that many Govern
ment employees do commute from
Baltimore and its suburbs.
Such shows may have professional
supervision, but they may not avail
themselves of the opportunity to
make money to help with show
expenses by renting booth and dis
play space to commercial firms
catering to dogs.
The Old Dominion Kennel Club
was regaled by talk on the ever
present rabies situation by DR.. j. G
Cummings of the District Depart
ment of Health, section of prevent
able diseases. He gave the depart
ment's viewpoint on the compulsory
rabies inoculation as a prerequisite
for dog licensing, and intimated that
a well-carried-out course of inocula-
ton would end the rabies endemic
within matter of three or four
months. Should his theory be valid
1t certainly would be a course well
worth trying, particularly since the
treatment, in the long run, would
cost less than caring for dogs and
people attacked by rabid dogs. He
stressed the point that incubation
alone would be insufficient. The
stray dog problem still would have
to be solved.
