Hogs Provide SIS
For j. S. Farmers

Almost tWo-thirds of the nat
ions farms now depend on hogs
for part of their income, accord
ing to figures cited today by the
American Foundation for Animal
Health.
In the north central states, al
most three-fourths of the farms
raise hogs while in Iowa the per-
centage climbs to 85 percent, ac-
cording to the Foundation.
Between 10 and II percent of
the national farm income comes
from the sale of swine, the study
continues. More than Sc million
hogs were slaughtered during
1858 making an average of 81 to
70 pounds of pork for each person
in the nation Pork also provided
so percent of the total meat con-
sumed in the country, and swine
are the greatest single outlet for
farm-raised grains.
1t was also noted by the Foun-
dation that during the past five
years larger percentage of hogs
was vaccinated against hog chol-
era than in any previous year. In
1853, more than 55 percent of the
total swine production in the ma
tion was vaccinated, the Founda-
tion reports.

There Goes My
Two Gents Worth

Wright Patterson Air Force Base,
Ohio
Have you ever wondered how
much of your money is represent
ed in an Air Force plane? If you
haven't figured it out, you might
be surprised when you discover the
answer. The actual cost per person
could be figured accurately only If
we had a true list of individual tax
payers showing the amount each
paid. Since such a list is not avail
able at this writing, we will figure
the cost per person for each of the
163 million citizens of all ages :
without regard for the fact that
some pay much less in Federal
taxes than others.
First, let's consider how each
dollar is divided for the first few
planes (Prototypes), and then
show the division of the dollar
used on subsequent (production)
planes of the same type. Factory
Burden is a phrase we will use to
cover such items as rent, utilities,
maintenance, property taxes, and
administrative overhead.
The prototype plane dollar is di-
vided as follows:
Engineering .36 cents; Factory
Burden 81 cents; Labor IT cents;
Tooling .13 cents; Materials .O3
cents.
Compare those figures with the
division of the dollar used when
the planes are in production:
Engineering 03 cents; Factory
Burden ST cents; Labor % cents;
Tooling .09 cents; Materials .28
cents.
We find engineering and tooling
costs are lower, that factory bur-
den and labor increased go each,
and that materials take an extra
25 cents of each dollar.
The fighter airplane which cost
$4,000 during World War II now
costs $233,000. The $3.50. 900 bom-
ber of that time costs So million to-
day. Four reasons for the higher
costs are, initiation, smaller orders,
changes in design, and better air.
planes.
Today's dollar buys only about
half what the 1941 dollar bought.
During the war, planes were or
dered by the thousands, whereas
today's orders are for hundreds or
fewer. This means each plane costs
more because the extra costs of
the prototype can be prorated to
fewer planes. Where the $50 mil
lion cost of the bomber prototype
could be, divided among thousands
of production planes, it must be
absorbed by 10 percent of that
number today.

Maple Sap Flow
Seen In ThaWing

The sharp break in winter tenn
peratures> with alternate freezing
and thawing will start maple sap
flowing, say Forest Dean, Ohio
State University extension for
ester. Usually a temperature
range of 25 to AZ degrees with
bright sunshine is good sap wea-
ther.
First sap run usually produces
the sweetest, highest quality ma
pie syrup according to Dean. Some
maple producers tap few trees
early and watch these for signs
of early sap flow. Large crowned
trees in the open at low eleva-
Lion flow first.
Long range weather forecasts
also help maple syrup producers
gauge the best tapping time. Dean
advises them to watch for high
and low temperature forecasts.
Sugar content of maple sap av-
erages from 2 to A percent. There
is wide variation in trees, how
ever, with one Vermont tree pro-
ducing sap with II percent sugar
content.
The best Ohio tree produces sap
containing 8 percent sugar. Fore
sters are budding, grating and
crossbreeding maple trees to inn
prove sugar content of sap and
total production. They have found
too that sugar content is higher
in large open crowned trees. Dean
recommends 30 to 40 trees per
acre to improve crown develop
ment.
Maple syrup grades are based
on color. Top quality maple syrup
is light amber or straw color and
free from cloudiness, Dean adds.
Dark syrup indicates impurities,
such as twigs and bits of bark
were in the sap. He admits that
some people prefer dark syrup.
Ohio's maple syrup season nor
mally opens early in February and
continues until late March. An an
nuad half million dollar crop gives
Ohio third place in the nation in
maple syrup production. Vermont
is first and New York is second.

Easter Seal Campaign Runs
From March 10 To April 10

The 1855 Easter Seal campaign,
this years appeal for funds to help
crippled children, will be held from
March 10 to April 10 in Ohio and
throughout the nation, according
to an announcement made today
By DIR. Charles A. Bowers, Cleve-
Land, President of the Ohio Society
for Crippled Children.
During this month preceding
Easter, people in Ohio will have a
chance to provide needed help TO
the thousands of crippled persons
In this state who need rehabilita-
ton" DR.. Bowers said. "Ohioans
car, play vital part in providing
a. hopeful and productive life for
crippled children by buying Easter
Seals"
The annual Easter Seal appeal,
which is sponsored in Ohio by the
Ohio Society for Crippled Children
Tn cooperation with the National
Society for Crippled Children and
Adults, is conducted in every state
In the union, in the District of Co.
lumbia, Alaska, Puerto Rico and
Hawaii.
The Ohio Society and its 1O1 To-
cal affiliated county societies for
crippled children conduct the cam
paign in this state. Of funds raised
more than 80 per cent remain in
Ohio for services to the physically
handicapped. The remainder goes
to a national program of research
and rehabilitation.
Every year" said DR.. Bowers,
THE statewide network of crippled
children's Easter Seal societies
help thousands OF crippled children
and adults by providing medical
care, physical training, recreation,
vocational guidance, and many
other services.
These crippled children socie-
ties in Ohio need not only the con-
tinued moral support of the citi-
Zens In the state" he said, but a
more generous financial support
than ever before. While thousands
Of handicapped children have been
helped in the past, there are still
thousands more that must be
reached. The part that the individ-
ral can play at this time of year
In helping this whole program of
rehabilitation is to give his all out
support to the Easter Seal cam
paign.,"
. Among major projects supported
by the crippled children's socie-
ties through financial contributions
made during the Easter Seal CAM
paign in Ohio are: three treatment
centers for orthopedically crippled
children; centers devoted to cere-
bral palsied children; annual medi-
cal demonstrations of treatment
techniques; ovre 35 epileptic clinics
per year; summer residential
camping for more than 1000 Grip
pied boys and girls; and jointly
sponsored three week summer
workshop at Ohio State University
for teachers of crippled children,
and speech and hearing theraDists.

EeIs May Be Used
In Blood Studies

COLUMBUS, OHIO - Eels,
which have devastated Gre t
Lakes fisheries and are now
causing untold damage to West
Coast salmon fishing, may have
something of value to humans.
An Ohio State University scient-
iSt has found them a source of an
enormously powerful anticoagu-
liant material which prevents
blood from clotting.
This was announced today by the
American Cancer Society which
has helped support some of the
work of DR.. George Shinowara,
whose group in the Department
of Pathology has isolated the
factor.
Whether the substance will prove
useful in treating any of the
many conditions caused by clotted
and thickened blood, including.
strokes, coronary thromboses, an
overgrowth of red blood cells
called polycythemia vera and the
cancer of the white cells called
leukemia. is not known.
DR. Shinowara found that the
anticoagulant abounds in til e
mouth glands of blood-sucking
lampreys, who secrete it when
they bite fish. 1t keeps fish blood
fluid while the eels consume it. It
acts like a concentrated heparin,
the liver extract which prevents
clotting.
So far, the active substance has
not been isolated or purified, and
the Investigators do not know
what kind of chemical it is. They
are just starting tests of it on
mammalian tissues.
Apparently the anticoagulant
interferes with the reaction which
converts fibrinogen to fibrin, the
final step in blood clotting. The
anticoagulant can be inhibited
with a drug called protamine, a
chain of few amino acids.
DR.. ShinoWara extracted the
anticoagulant from glands remov-
ed from the mouths of thousands
of lampreys. Sach gland is about
the size of a fingertip. The lam
prey liver itself was not overly
rich in heparin, and it is unknown
what part, if any, the liver play
ed in preparing this heparin-like
mouth gland substance.
Not all eels manufacture the
anticoagulant. Eels from the Mad
River, Ohio, had none. Eels from
willamette River Falls, Oregon,
had good supply, and those from
the Ocqueoc River, Michigan, had
from eight to eighteen times as
much as the Oregon eels.
The group is also studying fac
tors which make the blood coagu-
late, and they have isolated from
natural sources several of these
substances which seem to make
broken blood vessels self-sealing.

That was the Disappointing
moment!

rabbis rose from their seats and
rushed from the room. Shrimp
had been placed before them as
the opening course of the elabo-
rate menu This Highland
House dinner came to be known
as the trefa banquet The Ortho-
dox Eastern press rang the
charges on the trefa banquet week
in and week out"
This incident as I get it out of
DR.. Cohon's story. really marked
the beginning of organized Con-
servative Judaism in the U. S.
The two rabbis who had walked
out on shrimp were like prophets
leading a considerable group Of
Israel in a new direction. Says
DR.. Cohon: THE incident con-
firmed the lingering distrust Of
conservatives in DR.. Wise's col
lege and reawakened their anita
gonism toward him"
DR.. Wise tried to explain the
shrimp away by liberal philos-
ophy, but ''it was too late" DR..
Cohon says.
Sabato Morals. one Of the two
rabbis who had walked away
from shrimp and also out Of the
Hebrew Union College where he
was official examiner. became
one of the founders of Conserva-
tive Judaism in its organized
form.

DR.. Cohon says that Sabato
Morals, with the aid Of like-mind-
ed rabbis and layleaders launch
ed a counter movement which re-
suited in the establishment of
the Jewish Theological Seminary
in New York City where
youths DESTROYS of entering the
ministry may be thoroughly

and inspired by precept and

the love of the Hebrew language
and a spirit of fidelity and devo-
