Mothers Group Fighting Cancer
Plans Fair in Silver Spring

"The most ambitious" fund
raising project of group Of Wash
ington mothers banded together
to fight cancer will take place
Tuesday In the Silver Spring
Armory.
Beginning at 8 pm. the Dis
trict Cancer Aid Group will hold
a county fair, complete with side
shows, a fortune teller and games,
to raise money for cancer research
and treatment at Children'S
Hospital.
Since the groups organization
in 1947. it has raised money
through bingo parties and SUBJ
scriptions by the $50 members.
Two years ago, the members ac-
cumulated ST 200 for care of Wash
ington area children with cancer.
Last May, they gave another ST.
500 to the hospital.
But cancer treatment costs
lot of money" pointed out Mrs.
Jesse Surwit. chairman of the fair
committee. so this year we de-
cided to sponsor something which
would perhaps double our earlier
contributions.
I'VE wondered If we tackled too
big a job" she said. "An affair like
the county fair is quite a job for
women with houses to keep up
and young children to care for"
Enthusiastic Over Job.
But the women have tackled
the job with a cornmendable en-
thusiasm.
Lists of merchants were drawn
up from the yellow section of the
telephone book and each COM
mittee member was given a list
of merchants from whom to solicit
merchandise for prizes.
"The merchants in Washing
ton and the area have been won-
derful," Mrs. Surwit said. I'VE
have plenty Of prizes to reward
the winners Of our games"
A printer agreed to run of $50
posters without cost and commit
tee members and husbands pressed
into service have been busy dis
tributing them around the Metro
politan Area.
Other committee members were
assigned to telephone newspapers,
radio stations and other publicity
mediums.
In addition to the games and
wheels of fortune, the fair will
feature booths where knitted goods
made by members. toys. and
home-baked cakes can be bought.
Refreshments. naturally, will also
be on sale. Every one will get a
chance to win a door prize.
Started By 13 Women.
The Cancer Air Group was
started by 13 women who felt the
fight against cancer needed more
volunteers. The first year they
donated whatever funds they
could raise to the American
Cancer Society.
Then. since nearly all were
mothers, they decided to focus
their attention on Children's Hos
pital. Although cancer is generally
considered a disease of middle or
old age, there is enough incidence
of it among children to justify
intensive diagnosis and treatment
programs in clinics and children's
hospitals.

Graham properly.
Judge Keech declared q mis-
trial. after it was recalled that
some witnesses, after being told to
answer certain questions, had
volunteered other information.
One witness, when asked ques-

room to ask a friend to help her
recollect as to whether a certain
conversation had taken place. The
friend seated in court shook her

FRANKFURT. Germany.--The

There has been gastronomic

The coffee now makes the

production now to be running
about 500 higher than in 1885.
But the chart also shows that
the average citizen today has
1870 more income to spend than
he had in 1885. Now the average
| factory worker earns more than
S64 a week and can find work
whenever he wants it. In 1885
he earned only $40 a week when
he had a job and was likely to
be out of work a good part of
the time. So the average man can
afford to pay a dollar a pound
for steak today a lot better than
he could afford to pay 50 cents
a pound back in 1885.
"And my professor says that
there are two things that are
absolutely true:
1. That the people in this coun'
try like meat, and will always
bid up the price for it when they
have the money.
2. That the law of supply and
demand is as sure to work as
the law of gravity; hence, when
demand increases faster than
supply, prices 60 up. So, with
money to spend about trebled
and meat supply up only 500
it's no wonder that meat prices
have climbed lot.
"Of course, the fact that the
Government keeps price supports
under farm crops and that it is
now buying stacks of high-grade
beef for the army doesn't do any
thing to put the price of steak
down"
"Son," said Joe Doakes, ~ hate
to admit it, but what you say
does make sense. I guess these
statistics profs have something
on the ball after all. 1t appears
that trying to hold down meat
prices is a waster of time as long
as everyone has job and is earn
ing good money"
ut does look that way" re-
luctantly conceded Mrs. Doakes
st guess the best thing to do is
to grin and bear it."
"Well Mom," said her son,
"there seems to be plenty of meat
coming on the market; so, if
we can keep the Government
from initiating the currency
meat prices are more likely tc
come down bit than to 60 up"
"Then We'll still try to have
steak occasionally" asserted his
mother, and closed the discus
sion.

South Leads Nation
In Livestock Trend

Led by Carolina farmers, the
Southern states are increasing
their livestock numbers faster
than any other section of the
country.
This is pointed out that the 1e
South Atlantic and South Cen
trail states increased cattle MUM;
bers by slightly over two million
head in 1850 for an 8 per cent
increase.
North Carolina farmers did
even better. They added $4,000
head of cattle to their herds to
bring the total number as of
January 1 to 7S8,000-an increase
Of II per cent from a year earlier
The average value per head for
all cattle on Tar Heel farms as
of January 1 was $120, an in
crease of 5000 per head from
JANUARY L, ISOU.
The number of hogs on North
Carolina farms increased 1 per
cent during the year, with the
number estimated at 1,131, 00C
head at the beginning of this
year. Total value of swine was
2O1 million dollars an Increase
of 1876 per cent.
Sheep numbers also increased
in the State during 1850. The
total at the beginning of last
year was $4,000, and at the be-
ginning of 1851 it was more than
10000. A large part of the in.
crease was brought about by the
purchase of Western ewes by the
State Department of Agriculture

that right, SOM"
John looked over his figures.
Yes" he said, that's correct. But
do you know how much dough
the shareholders have had to in
vest in that company to earn that
much? Just a little more thar
S340 millions. So the stockhold-
ers made only 4.7fo on their in
vestment in the business. When
you figure that they sometimes
lose a lot in a bad year, that
doesn't strike me as being ST
hot"
But 1850 was a good year for
profits. Didn't some of the other
meat packers do a lot better than
Swift" inquired his father.
We'll" replied John, Gin 1850,
the common stockholders of
Swift received in dividends S2.35
per share. while those of Wilson
got S1.00, and of Armour and
Cudahy nothing at all. Sc it ap-
pears that the Swift shareholders
were the lucky ones"
But here in wartime," inter
posed Mrs. Doakes, at does seem
to me that some of those rich
stockholders might take a little
less and give us common folks

a break"
Lets see how much the Com
pany could have lowered the
price of meat if it hadn't paid
any dividends" said John taking
up his slide rule. 1T figures
out to five-eighths of one pc,
cent. That means that if the
stockholders hadn't got their
payments of small dividends
you would have saved a nickel or
every eight dollars worth Of
meat you bought. Pretty big
haul! And, of course, if the com
pany quit making any profits, il
would soon close down."
Right" said Mr.. Doakes, "but
there's something 'phony' in this
somewhere. My recollection is
that the O.P.A. kept the price Of
steak down to IS cents a pound
all during the war;"
"Yes," interrupted Mrs. Doakes
"but you didn't have to stand in
line for hours trying to buy some
at that price. Finally, it got SC
I couldn't get any steak or roast
at all except in the black market
at a dollar a pound. Then, wher
they took off the controls,
could get all I wanted at rs cents
a pound. I don't want to have tt
go through all that folderol again
and still get stung."
Yes" said John, "tne Senate
Committee on Agriculture anc
Forestry reported in May, 1916
that legitimate retail stores were
charging for beef an average OIL
26cc above the o. P. A. ceiling
prices. Fly-by-night black market
GERS, of course, charged much
more in order to cover the risk
involved. The big packers were
operating at only half capacity
the rest of the meat being butch
cred by more than $4,000 non
Federally inspected slaughterers
They could not utilize most O.
the by-products; hence thei1
expenses Of operation were high
so you got non-inspected meat
but still had to pay much higher
prices. On March 6, 1915, Chester
Bowlcs estimated that above-ceil
ling prices on food were costing
the American people a billion dol
lars a year. That's why mea
prices fell when o. P. A. quit"
But" interposed Joe Doakes
Il don't see any reason why meat
should sell so high now. 1 under
stand that there's a big supply
of cattle and hogs on hand. re
member that, back before the
War, one could get plenty Of
good steak for half a dollar 6
pound. Somebody must be pro
fitccring somewhere"
you're certainly right about
meat being plentiful now replied

FARM QUESTIONS
AND
ANSWERS
QUESTION: How can I pre-.

QUESTION: How can I pre-
vent bloat among my cattle?
ANSWER: To help prevent
bloat, DR.. C. D. Grinnells of State
College offers several sugges.
tions.
10 Feed hay or silage before
placing animals on legume pas
lures. Dry roughage irritates the
stomach walls and causes belch-
ing, which is the natural way of
expelling excess gases.
20 Craze the animals on grass
pastures for a few hours before
placing them on rich legume
pasture.
90 Cottonseed bulls treated
with molasses are recommended.
Molasses increases the palatabil'
ity and increases consumption to
the point where the hulls are
helpful.
al Mixing grasses with le'
gumes in pasture so they make
up about half of the mixture is
considered desirable.
50 Allow alfalfa to become
more mature before grazing.
co When animals are changed
to new grazing areas, they should
be watched very closely for the
first few days.
CD Avoid turning hungry cat
tie on legumes in the pre-bloom
stage. Feed other feeds to take
the edge of their appetites and
keep them well-filled.
QUESTION:: How can straw
berry spider mites be controlled?
ANSWER: Use DN-D4 dust
when the temperature is below
| 80 degrees Fahrenheit. In warm
err weather this material may
burn the plants. Sulphur dust is
also recommended, but it can be
used effectively only in tempera
lures ranging from 70 to 80 de
grees. Be sure that the dusts
reach the under sides of the foil
age.
