WORLD PEACE:
Pattern for u. S.

Once quoted as saying that schol-
arly Woodrow Wilson failed to Sc
cure U. S. entrance into the League
of Nations because he was not a
politician, Master Politician Frank
lin D. Roosevelt fired the first gun
in the campaign to obtain approval
for this country's participation in a
postwar organization to preserve
peace in an address to the nation
and congress on the historic Yalta
conference.
To assure the effectiveness of a
postwar peace program, the Presi-
dent said u. S. collaboration must
be two-fold:
First, this country must join in a
world organization to suppress ag-
gression,, if necessary, by force.
Second, the U. S. must provide
relief to alleviate suffering in the
liberated states, and furnish credits
for the reconstruction of their econ
omy so that they might be able to
resume full production and stand on
their own.
''There can be no middle ground"
declared the President. ''We shall
have to take the responsibility for
world collaboration or we shall have
to bear the responsibility for another
world conflict. :"

Although British farmers now are
being paid adequate prices for prac-
tically all the main food products to
return a profit on the farm by the
government, the present British pol
icy is not assured after the war, it
was reported.
British farmers enjoyed prosper
ity during World War I, but the re-
peal of price and wage guarantees
in 1920 left the farmers without pro-
lection when prices for their prod
ucts dropped. The result was to drive
land from the production of basic
foods into utilization as pasture.
In the early 1930s, British agricul-
ture had become so hard pressed
that system of direct subsidization
was adopted to increase the income
from growing wheat, oats. barley

JET PLANES:
u. S. Development

Using an engine based on the de-
sign of Commodore Frank Whittle of
the Raj, two American aircraft
companies have produced jet pro-
PEELED fighter capable Of flying over
500 miles per hour.
Called the Shooting STAR" the
new plane is supposed to be much
more maneuverable than German
jets because Of the development Of
special devices for controlling wind
resistance. Sleek in appearance,
with the cockpit set before the wings,
the new jet can carry heavy loads
of ammunition, Photographic equip
ment and bombs and fuel.
Principle of the new jet engine is
simple: Wing ducts permit passage
of air into a combustion chamber,
where kerosene flame causes it to
expand. Because Of this expansion,
the gases beat against one side of
the chamber, forcing forward
motion.

COAL MINERS:

Having previously filed a 30-day
notice of the intent to strike in case
of snag in negotiations for a new
contract, United Mine Workers Chief
tain John L. Lewis sat down with
coal operators to bargain for new
pact as government officials warned
of an impending coal shortage even
without a walzout.
Although he did not ask for basic
wage increase, Lewis demanded a
royalty of 10 cents for every ton of
coal to build up SIS, ZOO, 900 medical
and rehabilitation fund; time and

MEAT:
Scarcity. Felt

Recent tightening up of meat ra-
tioning reflected frequent warning of
government officials in recent weeks
that short supplies could be expected
until late summer or fall when live
stock marketings should increase.
With the present meat situation
aggravated by the sharp drop in hog
slaughtering in the face of heavy mil
itary requirements, March alloca-
tons to civilians will fall about 6
per cent below February and IA per
cent below January.
In an effort to spread the civilian
supply of all meat, point values were
raised on wide range of cheaper
beef and pork cuts, with reductions
for choice beefsteaks and roasts fail
ing to offset the increases because of
the relative scarcity of such items.
Affected by the latest point revi-
sion were a wide variety of sausages
and canned meats previously uncon-
trolled.

STORED WHEAT:
Good p Years

II properly stored, wheat may be
kept as long as % years and still
make good bread, scientists of the
USDA and the Colorado Experiment
station report as result of baking
tests of wheat grown at the sta
ton and kept IA to % years in a dry,
unheated room.
Ordinarily, wheat is stored no
longer than two or three years be-
fore being milled since it has been
thought that the long storage might
change the protein of the wheat so
that it would lose the elasticity that
allows bread to rise and the fat in
the grain would become rancid and
affect the flavor Of bread.
Instead, the tests showed that sto-
rage had no consistent effect on the
protein. Although the fat in the
wheat did increase in acidity during
the years, this deterioration did not
show up in the flavor of the bread.
The vitamin B1 or. thiamine content
of the wheat, the -four and the bread
was as high as is usually found in
wheat from this area.
However, the scientists emphasize
that such results can be expected
only with ideal storage conditions
sound dry wheat to begin with, and
then storage that keeps it dry and
free from insects.

Stote Regent Honored
At Luncheon Nov. 18th

Mrs. w. S. Welch, State Regent
of the Mississippi Society Daughters
of the American Revolution, was the
monoree of a beautiful luncheon
given at the Huffstatler House by
the local members of the Ben c..
Humphreys Chapter, on Monday,
Nov. 18th, 1945.
The north dining room was used
and the light from the north window
brought out the full tints Of the
handsome flower decorations. The
lovely mirror over the mantel re-
flected the beauty of the immense
white dahlias, with their golden CEN
ters, grown in the garden of Mrs.
Parham Williams. The centerpiece
of the dining table was a large tray
of gorgeous double variegated jap
onicas from the garden of Mrs. w.
p. Lewis. Large bowls, at each end
of the table, were filled with masses
of pink and white chrysanthemums.
In the hall, where Mrs. Lewis and
Mrs. Ed Shaddock received the
guests, were bowls of the pink and
white chrysanthemums and the
brown and orange colors Of the Hus-
sian sunflower.
Grace was said by the chaplain,
, Mrs. Sessions Povall, after which an
elegant menu was served the guests.
Mrs. A. J. Heinrich, Regent, presided
as hostess and program chairman.
After a brief but interesting talk on
the occasion Of this luncheon, by
Mrs. Heinrich, the State Regent, Mrs.
Welch, addressed the Daughters on
what the D. A. r. means to society,
the great work it has done in the
past and the ever widening circles
of its future influence for good.
Mrs. Welch stressed increased
membership and stated that very
nearly every family could trace its
genealogy if they would only take
the time to the years Of the Spirit
of '76." She spoke of beautiful Rosa
lie at Natchez-the shrine of the
State D. A. r. The State Regent was
pleasing speaker and her enthusi-
astic talk was well received by the
interested members. Mrs. John Nc
Bee, Of Greenwood, was an out-of-
town guest for the luncheon. Her
membership dates back to its organ
ization, when she was charter
member of the Ben G. Humphreys
Chapter.
