tools used by present day veterin- aries.
 Dr. Gilyard explained that the
 field of Veterinary Medicine has branched out greatly since he came to this city in l910 He stated that at that time veterinarians treatec horses almost exclusively, althougl some work was done on cattle. The reason for this was that horses were considered more valuable at that time. Today, however, special bred cattle are often worth thousands of dollars Q head. Naturally cattle owners tend them more carefully now. (a f,sn-
 In addition to treating cattle more than before, Dr. Gilyard stated that many veterinaries are now spe- ciahzing in the small animal field. This includes the treatment of household pets, he explained. The average physician is not trained as a food inspector as one might think, pr. Gilyard revealed. Veterinaries do most of that work at present. He said colleges now have special courses in food inspection for men training to become veterinaries. Be- cause of these special courses, men in the. veterinary profession are now active in public health work.

there are black market operators here because I have heard people say they were charged above ceil- ing for butter and other scarcities. My opinion is that can be stopped simply by refusing to buy. The careful shopper watches every penny because it counts-and be- cause scarce items will get scarcer if the black market isn't stopped.

there are very many black market operators around here. But if peo- pie learn of any, think they should report the violators to the OPA. It's breaking a serious law. Bootlegging in the old days was a mild offense compared with the black market, because it means people will go without food they need"

How To Have Good Government

The responsibility for good government in a democracy
you and me We are the ones who make the choice. We
are free people who select our own candidates. If they are
bad, we have no alibis, for we choose them. If they are
good, we can take the credit.
The choice of our leaders is our responsibility. We
must not elect a mediocre man because we like him, or be.
cause he feels entitled to the job. We have done that too
often in the past, at too high a price. We must select our
candidates not from the bias of party, but on the basis of
past record, ability and character.
But we must not only select. We must be willing to act.
The express obligation of all men is to exercise their right
OF franchise. Furthermore, we must be willing to serve.
Ii able men say they are s'too busy to run for local offices
Iney have only themselves to blame if they find nincom-
PooPs the incunbents at whom they rail because Of their
inefficiency.
Popular government can only be maintained if the PEG.

entirety was well rendered.
In the second group Mr.. Briggs gave

best presentations. The song was pre-
