It is unfair to your dog and un-
fair to the townspeople to allow
your dog to run the streets day
and night. Dogs, like children,
need restrictions, or they become
troublesome. Sooner or later they
will be juvenile delinquents. Dogs
belong on your property not your
neighbor's. People who really have
consideration for their dogs and
their neighbors will walk the dog
several times day on a leash, or
keep him behind a large fenced
in area.
1t is important to restrict cats,
too, as much as possible. Cats be-
come a great problem where they
are allowed to multiply. It is mis-
guided kindness to allow all kit
tens and all puppies to live to
grow up. At birth, many = in fact
most should be put to sleep
humanely before they have be-

Certificates of eligibility are

In the past, veterans have been
advised to submit their discharge

However, since the passage of

Traffic Deaths
Decrease 30%
For June

In a statement to the press to-
'ay, Colonel T. 3. Birdsone, Com
missioner Ct Public Safety stated
" According to incomplete reports
in our Accident Records Bureau,
% persons have been killed on
Mississippi streets and highways
for the month of June. This is 10
less than for June 1852 when 38
were killed.
All persons were killed one per
accident except where two boys
were riding a bicycle double and
a car hit them and both were
killed. We had days with no
traffic fatalities and one weekend
where the drivers and pedestrians
alike removed death from our high
ways which shows we can be safe
when we want to.
Of the % killed, 18 were on state
and U. S. Highways; 3 were on
County roads and 7 on City Streets.
20 were white and 8 were colored;
10 were boys and girls ranging in
age from 8 to 10 years of age; II
were drivers or passengers in &C.
cidents with only one vehicle in
volved; l on motorcycle-no other
vehicle involved; 2 children fell off
vehicles; l child killed playing in
the street; pedestrians killed; 3
were killed riding bicycles. Of the
% persons killed, % were killed
in one-car accidents, either as driv-
er, passenger, pedestrian or on BIZ
cycle, and SPEED was the con-
tributing factor.
We give credit to the stepped-up
enforcement program of all law
enforcement officers who have CO.
operated with our own men; the
work of all Patrolmen; and the
Radar machines.

to make this reduction possible.

Only Half Of The
Animal Is Meat

According to recent study, IS
leading and representative meat
packers earned, in 1852, a return
of only 3.8 per cent on their net
assets and a mere 2/5 of a cent
profit on each dollar of sales. By
contrast, large group of general
manufacturing firms averaged a
return Of 1913 per cent on net as
sets and 5 2I5 cents profit per dol
lar of sales.
One very important phase of the
packing business you may never
have thought about substantially
reduces the cost Of meat to you.
Here's how it works:
Only about so per cent of meat
animal is meat. The other half
consists of products, most of
which would be absolutely use
less to the Individual consumer
and would be thrown away. But
these by-products are of value to
the packers, who save, process and
sell them. Hides and skins go in
to leather goods; animal fats make
soap; wool becomes clothing: Gers

Of such medicines as insulin
