Allied Leaders See Defeat Of Germany
In Summer After General Destruction

There has been a define change
in the mental attitude of German

by the character OF their resistance

And Food For Thought

Thousands of tons of grain liter lypour into Schenley's distilleries, then thousands of gallons of alcohol for war purposes, made from this grain, pour out of it's distilleries. And then, later, thousands of tons of cattle and poultry feed, made from this same grain, pour out of the distileries to go back to the farm areas where the grain was grown. Sounds like a complete cycle, doesn't t it2
 You see, a very large portion of the grain used in making either war alcohol or beverage spirits or Whiskey is recovered" because only the starch content of the Prain is actually used in the dis5illation process. After the starch has been taken out, the grain IS processed into just the finest kind of high protein feed for dairy cattle, hogs and poultry.
 Right now, SchenIey is expanding it's facilities for grain recovery installing new equipment at it's plants in four states, which will in- crease feed production to approxi- mately two hundred forty-four million pounds, yearly All ofwhich is important to the farmer, because shortage of feed means shortage in his production of the country's basic foods: milk, meat, poultry and eggs.
 And here is something else worth while remembering: even when the beverage industry is producing alcohol at top capacity for vital war purposes, these alcohol require ments consume only about 2 e of the nations grain supply, and about one-third of this grain is subsequently, converted into farm feeds.
