showing a natural interest in that question
| wish knew the long term answer. But |
don't, and doubt if anyone else does, either
=. But there's another, Short-term question
that's often asked, which l can answer:
why do livestock prices f1uctuate?"
There are tlUo reasons: First, and most i'm
portant, daily and weekly changes in the
supply of livestock sold for slaughter. Sec
ond, changes in demand for meat and by
products.
Naturally, increased slaughter is the re-
suit of increased marketings-which brings
an increased supply of meat, which usually
means lower wholesale prices and lower
prices for livestock. Why? Well, take cattle
as an example. The number marketed varies
from week to week; so, some weeks the
total slaughter is large, other weeks rela-
lively small. Therefore, the amount of beef
sold varies from week to week.
When there is a big increase in beef sup
plies, packers must ship heavily to the big
cities where there are a lot of people to con-
sumo food and increased meat supplies can
best be sold. Practically all beef handled by
meat packers is sold within 12-14 days after
the cattle are slaughtered. Less than go is
frozen. With big supplies to be sold, retailers
bargain vigorously and often buy at reduced
prices. Then they can advertise ''Beef Spe-
cials" and their customers may eat beef, or
more beet, or beef more often Thus through
toUer meat prices, the increased beef supply
is sold to consumers.
Or, if feJOer animals are slaughtered, there
is less meat to be sold. Then retailers pay
higher prices to get meat. Meat packers, in
competition for the smaller supply, bid more
for livestock. So here we see again this
economic law in action-the price producers
receive for their livestock is governed by
what the packer can get for the meat and
by-products.

One week from the day she
made her bargain her husband re-
turned home with the parrot in a
bright new cage.
"Oh, Wilbur, she's beautiful.
Can she really talk?" said Trellis
Mae, clapping her hands. Miffed
at being doubted, Polly turned
three slow somersaults on her
perch, then looked out upside down
and said surlily, hello
Wilbur smiled and started to the
bathroom to take a shower. EX-
cited, TrelliS Mae ran into the
kitchen and came back with a
cracker, AS Wilbur paused by the
bathroom door, he heard his wife
say:
Polly like a cracker? Polly
like a cracker?"
There was a moment of silence,
and then the voice of the parrot
sounded, raucous but clear:
II like Ike! like Ike"
Wilbur quickly closed the door
behind him and was long time
taking his shower. When he re-
entered the living room, the bird
cage was empty.
Where's Polly'O" he asked.
"One COOP in this house is more
than enough" said Trellis Mae.
II put her in the refrigerator to
punish her for saying she liked
Ike. She isn't funny.
but she'll freeze objected Will
bur. He went to the kitchen and
opened the refrigerator door.
Polly, her shoulders hunched and
shivering, was striding back and
forth on a wire shelf, pausing now
and then to blow on her cold claws.
On the shelf below her lay the
frozen carcass of a chicken Trellis
Mae planned to roast the following
evening.

WASHINGTON LP) - Starting
now you are free to buy a new
house on whatever terms you can
arrange, without any government
supervision or regulation.
The Federal Reserve Board cut
home buyers and purchasers of
commercial property loose yester-
day when it suspended Regulation
X. That is the government order
that since October, 1850, had set
official limits on the amount of
credit lenders could give in home
and commercial property sales.
Regulation x applied only to
new buildings.
simultaneously the Housing and
Home Finance Agency HEIFA an
nounced it was loosening its regu-
lations governing credit in home
sales where government loans or
guarantees are a part of the trans
action
These moves followed notice by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics to
the Federal Reserve Board and
the HHFA yesterday that housing
construction during June, July and
August indicated that not more
than 100000 units would be start
ed during the year.
Under amendments to the 1852

NEW YORK R,-Ever since
Wilbur Feeble and his wife quar-
relied over politics, he has been
getting prune juice for breakfast
instead of orange juice.
He knew it was just one way
that Trellis Mae, who is madly
for Adlai, was getting even with
him for backing Dwight Eisen-
hover.
But everytime he groaned, Il

piled:

now on. We're Tightening up our

jected Wilbur.
Well, it's COOP to me-" said
Trellis Mae. "Adlai and l think
you are all goops."
Foreseeing four long years of
prune juice if the Republicans
won, Wilbur decided it was time
to compromise.
I'm tired of all this fussing
over politics" he said. "If you'll

Westbay said the three were

The way the police chief re-

the case was handled followed.

Trellis Mae hesitated. All her
married life she had wanted a
parrot SO she would have someone
to talk to on the nights Wilbur
went bowling or played poker.
ITS DEAL" she agreed. But
it has to be talking parrot-not
one of those old dumb ones"
That very morning Wilbur went
to a bird store and picked out a
fine parrot, which, oddly, was
named Polly.

tor. "She's got the best vocabulary
of any bird / ever had
The conversation went from
birds to the weather, from women
to baseball, and from baseball to

Wilbur.
"A number of people who come
in here are for Gov. Stevenson"
said the proprietor, "but I tell 'em
all that I like Ike"
"I like Ike, too" said Wilbur.
And every lunch hour for several
days he dropped into the store to
see Polly and chat with the owner
on politics. Meanwhile Trellis Mae
never mentioned Adlai once, al
though the strain of staying silent
visibly was making her nervous.

failed to impress the Supreme Court

the United States.
1t should be remembered that the
decision against Texas was close, 4 to 8:
the Louisiana decision was z to o. A
few quotations from the Courts opinion
are necessary to prove that It was def

Crowded Schools

The Board Of Education has proposed
by an unpublicized plan to alleviate the
overcrowding Of the colored schools by
transferring teaching vacancies. as they
occur. in the white schools to the COL
ored schools.
As a member Of the Parent t-Teachers
Association, should like to call atten-
ton to this plan which is contrary to all
the work being done by this organiza-
ton for proper sized classes. so that the
educational needs Of our children be
best served.
While We are in sympathy with the
needs Of the colored schools, we as tax
payers do not feel it is fair or wise to
shift the overcrowding from one group
to the next.
My child, In grade school, has been in
classes Of between SO and 40 children.
We parents feel that this is too great
number for any teacher to instruct to
the best Of her ability No more than
80 children in class would be an ideal
size. botn for teacher and children.
Instead of taking salaries from one
group. the Board of Education should
try to work for larger appropriations
where needed. Rutr rrI..
editors note:. This is neither new
proposal nor an unpublicized one. The
shifting Of faculty funds from white
to colored schools has been going on for
several years, in an effort, to keep the
teaching loads Of the two groups of
schools in balance.)
