although it is generally assumed
that they will be soon. I'm afraid

Red Cross Cautions
Early Swimmers

Swimming season has come early
this year and to safeguard all
swimmers against drownings, DR..
Angus DePinto, Red Cross Water
Safety Chairman, suggests the fol-
lowing cautions:
1. Rember-you are not in as
good condition now as you were
last year. Swim only short dis
tances until you have regained
your endurance.
2. Select safe, sanitary place
for swimming and one that is
supervised by qualified life guards.
8. Never swim in canals and irri-
cation bitches. They are danger
Gus.
4. Wait at least one hour after
eating before going in the water.
5. Never go beyond your depth,
either in the water or in a canoe
or small boat, unless you can swim.
6. Never go in the water when
you are overheated and overtired.
: z. Never stay in the water to
long.
8. Never swim alone. It's more
fun and safer with a buddy.
9. Make sure the water is deep
enough and free Of obstruction be-
fore attempting to dive.
10. Never demonstrate abilities
you do not possess.

Meat Trends Change

item in Country Gentleman points out that meat
trends changing in certain important particulars AS
example, the magazine cites the hoggrade stand
ard called Special This grade applies to hogs of high
uniformity and weight limit of between 200 and 23O
pounds which will yield large percentage of the four
lean cuts-ham, loin, picnic and butt
Packers showing definite interest in this type of
hog Another indication of the trend found in reports
from Iowa that breeders of meat type hogs getting
strong demand for breeding stock.
For considerable period of time, authorities on live
stock have been advocating that farmers market hogs of
lower weight with reduced fat content The for
this simple and logical enough Consumer demand,
generally speaking strongly the side of the lean cuts
which involve minimum of waste These are the cuts
that bring the best price, and consequently pigs which
conform to the desired standard the most sought
after Excessively fat animals yield high percentage of
lard which is not in strong demand and which has
relatively small market value.
Meat like any other commodity, is continually influ
enced by the vagares of desire and demand
Tastes and appettes change though the change is
gradual and long period of time Success for
producers and all others concerned lies in pleasing the
consumer.

Letters To Editor

ACllCTS III AA1IOL
Dear Editor:
Please allow me space in your
most worthy paper, to write a few
lines to the general public; a mes
sage I deem very important and
expedient.
I am a registered voter of this
county, a citizen of the city of
Phoenix, and a member of the Mt.
Calvary Baptist Church.
It is with deep regret that my
church which bears the name of
the Great Cross on which our Lord
and Saviour died, has been in the
public limelight, over what I term
the lack of Christian brotherhood,
true spirit of Christ, and the real
church pride. Last but not least,
the great lack of good old common
sense.
When I think of the past week
being Easter, and of "The Saviour's
death on the Cross, when thou
sands of men and women every
where were making preparations
to commemorate the death and
suffering of this great Saviour on
l a st Sunday, and then when I
looked into the church that bears
the name of the Cross that made
the Saviour famous, / said, what
a pity and what a shame on the
Negro Baptist of Phoenix, to have
such scandal circulating in a time
like this, when everybody should
have been praising and thanking
God for the blood that He shed on
the Cross for them.
No greater sermon concerning
Jesus and the Cross has this writer
ever heard coming from human
lips than that preached by the Rev.
w. A. Washington, several months
ago. This minister said, in part,
that "Jesus faced the Cross brave
ly and with optimism, and he in
turn admonished those of us who
sat at his feet to listen to these
great words and do likewise, and
to lay aside all malice, hatred, and
Jealousy.
Face the Cross (meaning Cal
vary's Cross with love and fellow
ship for one another.
Here in a week which should
have been given to Christian wor-
shipping of the Saviour, some
members of the church were being
tried before judges and rulers not
of our fold, due to the lack of love
and fellowship in the church.
am a firm believer of Christ
and I regard every word that he
says as right and I believe every
word that is in the Bible. The
same Bible that teaches me to love,
also says, .Woe unto the shepherd
that scattereth his flock"
wonder sometimes if our min
listers are forgetting the great
commission of Christ? And, if they
have, I am taking the liberty to
repeat it for them-"Go preach my
gospel and bid the whole world to
receive" (Read Matthew
When our Christian leaders al
low selfish ambitions and greed,
dictatorship and worldiness to get
mixed up with their religious ac-
tivities, they will become like salt
which has lost its SAVIOR and is
good for nothing but to be cast
out.
am appealing to the Christian
family first, to turn back to God,
and to our Christian leaders-the
ministers; to lay aside this selfish
ness and personal ambition which
is causing them to lose there spirit
ual dignity, and preach the Gospel
as they claim they were commits
stoned to do. These things I be-
lieve will help our city to be a. bet
ter city, and the churches will be-
come strengthened to the extent
that others will come and join with
us. ORA L. MEADOR.
