American Meat Packing

From a humble beginning 306
rears ago, meat packing has grown
10 become one of the nations larg-
st industries. Meat packers in the
United States produce more than 20
billion pounds of meat annually.
From five million farms and
ranches in every state the meat
packers purchase 127 million cattle,
calves, hogs and sheep to make into
steaks, ~roasts, stews, sausage items
and canned meat, as well as utiliz-
ing by-products for many pharma-
ceutical and manufacturing items.
Meat Packing Industry
The start of commercial meat
packing in North America can be
traced to 1641 when a square-rigged
ship sailed from Boston harbor with
a cargo which a handful Of New
England colonists hoped could be
sold to West Indies plantation own
ers. Capt. John Pynchon. Spring
field, Mass. and a few farmer neigh
bors had consigned hogsheads OF
beef and pork. packed in salt, to
England's colonies.
Knockabout Chairs
If you have knockabout chairs in
the sunroom or on "sabbatical
leave" from the summer porch and
theiE appearance is not everything
you desire, consider making simple
sipcovers for them. Use strong fab
RIGS like ticking or oilcloth in fast
%colors, so they can be tossed regu-
larry into the washing machine.

Record History

Hieroglyphic, or picture writing,
on stone by ancient Egyptians
which has been deciphered by his
torians tells the story of the early
Pharaoh dynasties thousands Of
years before the birth of Christ.
Writing on clay or stone was mans
first attempt to leave his history
and that of his fellowman to future
generations. Later the Egyptians
made a writing material from the
papyrus weed. a tall reed that grew
in the marshy land long the Nile.
1t was used as early as 5000 B. c.
and it is from the word papyrus
that paper derived its name.

proposed price and conditions must

The Sustained Yield law further pro-
vides that interested citizens may re-
quest and obtain a public hearing on
the making of any sale.
In only small fraction OF the many
thousands of national forest timber
sales in this region has there been
competition. Despite this it is be-
lieved that most people who are fam
iliar with the subject will agree that
usually the Forest Service appraisers
obtain fair price for the public tim
Der entrusted to it.
Real competition might be devel-
oped for more national forest timber
if good access roads could be devel-
oped to it. Several millions of acres
of national forest timber in Montana
remain unused even through ripe or
overripe.
But in Lincoln county, even though
timber access roads will help greatly,
they cannot alone assure stability of
the communities. Here there is a
large body of private timberland
which must be kept producing at
reasonably high rate. The dependent
communities cannot turn to farming
or other activities to provide for their
future in the event of closing of tim
Der industry. In this respect they
are weaker than many other forest
communities within the state.
Seeking Satisfactory Means of
Developing Stability
A plan that will be regarded as
satisfactory by the Forest Service will
provide opportunity for considerable
industry other than the one large land
owning company. 1t is believed that
means will be developed
to provide opportunity for others and
the essentials of community stability. |
Please understand that all the eff
forts of the Forest Service to develop
a proposal which will give maximum
to Lincoln may be in vain.
1t may develop that proposal re-
garded as satisfactory by the Forest
Service will be found unsatisfactory

ATOMIC BOMB NO SECRET, SAYS HUrcHINS

Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins of
the University of Chicago has sub
stantiated the recent claim of Soviet
Foreign Minister " NJ Molotov that
the atomic bomb is no longer a secret
and adds that there is no defense
against it as military weapon.
Hutchins, writing in the December
issue of the American magazine, said:
"Any realistic appraisal of the status
of atomic energy today, militarily
speaking, must be predicated on two
simple propositions: CD There is no
secret. (2) There is no defense"
The educator said that the fact that
atoms could be split and that this
splitting released enormous quanti-
ties of energy" was demonstrated be-
fore World War II. "This was not an
American secret; it was known by
in many countries. The
only problem since that time has been
to capture and control the atomic
energy thus released, and discovery

DUPONT TRUST
UNDER Federal.
INDICTMENT

Washington-The E. I. DUPONT de
Nemours Inc, long known for it's in
ternational deals to keep prices up
and competition down in the chemical
field, was on the receiving end of a
federal government anti trust suit,
December Is, charging it with unlaw-
fully monopolizing the cellophane in
dustry in the United States.
By cartel arrangements with it's
friends abroad, Attorney General Tom
Clark said in announcing the civil
court action, DUPONT kept foreign COM
petition out of this country, and also
restricted the production of it's only
American competitor During 1916,
gross sales of cellophane products
here were $62 million, of which the du-
Points of Delaware got $46 million.
All the government is asking, Clark
said, is that DUPONT tsell at reason
able prices such of its plants as may
be necessary to permit others to emit
er the cellophane field" No mention
was made of action make dupont
change it's relations with it's cartel
friends in Great Britain, France, Can
ada and Germany.

by the owner of the private forest
land. We may never have Kootenai
cooperative forest proposal to make.
If and when a proposal is made by
| the Forest Service under the Sus-
tanned Yield law, it will be fully pre-
scented to those directly concerned.
I have tried here to explain the
position of the Forest Service with
regard to the principal points de-
veloped in your November IA article
as far as the present progress of our
work will permit.
I think you are interested in the
future of forest communities, of forest
people, and in the development of
forestry program which will provide
abundance rather than poverty, stable
communities rather than ghost towns,
and productive acres rather than de-
vastation both for the present and the
long future.
Let me reiterate. The Forest Serv-
ice has approached this project under
its general guiding principle, ''The
greatest good to the greatest number
in the long run" Special interests of
individuals or corporation must nee
essarily be subordinated thereto. This
case is no exception.
Should agreement be reached by the
major participating parties, and pub
lie hearing scheduled, the Forest Serv-
ice earnestly invites interested in
dividuals and organizations to become
conversant with the details of the
proposal then available. In this man
ner only can their expression, which
the Forest Service strongly desires,
be supported by more complete I'M
derstanding of fact.
I have confidence that you will
lend assistance in obtaining a fair
public hearing for such proposal and
plan as the Forest Service is able to
present. I am sure you will do this
in view of the long expressed policy
in your publication to guard the public
interests.
Very truly yours,
P. D. HANSON,
Regional Forester.

of methods of doing this has been only
a question of time.
"Much as it may discomfit some of
our professional patriots" Hutchins
writes, "the fact is that very great
part of this preliminary work, as prac-
tically all the subsequent work, was
done by foreigners"
After stating that the Germans had
no facilities to make the bomb and
''the Japanese wouldn't even have
known where to start" even if the
whole enterprise had been published
in the newspapers" Hutchins said:
"That is not the case today with
Russia
Can Russia make them? OF course!
+. Is Russia making them? We
would be foolish to assume that she
is not" the article warns.
Hutchins says American publication
of the Smythe report enabled the
USSR to bypass the succession of
blind alleys and dead-ends we had to
explore" and that today .the produc-
ton of atomic bombs is merely a
manufacturing process. There is no
secret" He says that those who
would "have Americans believe they
possess an atomic secret are either
ignorant of the facts or deceitful"
The world, Hutchins writes, stands
at "the fork of the road To the right
lies peace, productivity beyond all our
eace of living beyond
our brightest dreams. To the left lies
war and the eventual end of all life
on earth. We must make our choice
within five years. fa1
Perhaps the practical solution is
the establishment of a world govern
ment. Such blueprint is now being
for presentation to all ma

agreement primarily because it grants
to one company 60 year monopoly
