Frozen prepared potato

million pounds. Meat and
poultry items were about
equal. each with over 81
million pounds. Bakery
products amounted TO over
60 million pounds. and fish
sticks amounted to almost
as much.
Proof that these foods
have influenced our eating

the fact that nearly seven
million home freezers have
been bought in the past 10
years :. and you don't buy
a freezer unless you're also

How Safe Are X-rays?

dosage that patients receive during
various examinations. All this has
been done for years-before the cur
rent wave of publicity.
The Biological Effects of Atomic
Radiation, recent National Academy
of Science publication, has led to
much of the present concern. Yet
this report devotes only few pages
to medical and dental uses of X-ray.
Radiation that penetrates the sex
glands may increase the rate of de-
fects that show up at birth in future
generations. Experts believe the num-
Der of these at-birth defects that can
be caused by radiation is very small.
But however small, they're still unde-
sirable, and we must bend every eff
fort to avoid them.
The Academy's committee on gen.
etic effects estimates the average
person absorbs three roentgen of
atomic radiation in his or her sex
glands in 80 years, largely from X
ray medical diagnosis. The committee
also mentions 10 roentgen as permiss-
ible during a persons reproductive
span. Both figures are still open to
question.
Geneticists say, keep the X-ray
dose as low as you can," and we
radiologists have always made this
a maxim. X-ray has been a major
factor in the longer lives we enjoy
today, and no report yet has sug-
gested that X-ray shouldn't be used to
diagnose disease.
The committees suggestion that
everyone keep personal radiation
record seems somewhat premature,
for we have no reliable way now to
measure radiation exposure during a
examination. To be sure,
atomic workers have radiation rec
ords, but this is for an entirely diff
ferent purpose-to see that they con-
form to radiation discipline and that
there are no unknown radiation leaks.
The Academy has, however, done
an extremely valuable piece of work

Farm Facts In
New Labor Book

The growth of food monopolies and
the cost-price squeeze on the farmers
have continued to shrink the share OF
the consumers food dollar going to
farmers.
In 1856 the farmers share in the
annual market basket" priced by the
government, fell to around 4O%o, the
lowest it had been in any year since
World War II.
This is one of the hundreds of facts
on farmers contained in the new La
BOR FACT BOOK 13, just published
by Labor Research Association of
New York City. This biennial volume
has compact chapter summarizing
trends in farm incomes, prices, wages,
and government programs in the last
two years. 1t shows, for example, that
a fourth of the nations farm opera
tors earn less than $500 in cash from
all sources, and that half of all farm
operators earned less than $1,000 a
year.
The new volume also gives interest
ing facts and figures on output and
acreage yields, productivity and mech
anization. 1t discusses the surplus"
problem, exports, give-aways and do
nations, land values and debts, the
Great Plains drought, and the in
creasing concentration in agriculture.
The farm chapter is only one of sew
en- chapters in LABOR FACT BOOK
13 which covers major developments
in the economy, in the labor move
ment, in civil liberties, the Negro peo-
ple's progress, and the political trends
of the last two years. Labor and social
conditions are covered in a separate
chapter.
Babson's Business Service called
the LABOR FACT BOOK "a fountain
of facts for labor unions. 1t is worth
perusing for a good look over on la
boris side of the fence"
This 16O-page labor-farmer fact
book has become a regular supple

At jamestown, Va, the whole ma
tion is helping celebrate the 350tf
anniversary of the first white settle
ment in the new world. But 1857 /:
also the 350th birthday of the Ameri
can dairy ndustry-though it was
only an import business at first.
Colonists learned that milk, butter
and cheese were essential to their
diets-and the Virginia Company
soon required each hopeful colonist
to take not only ''nets, hooks, and
lines, but cheese, bacon, kline, and
goats.''
The July so, 1919, Virginia Gen
eral Assembly decreed that "No man,
without leave of the Governor, shall
kill any cattle whatsoever young or
olde, especially kline, Heyfurs or cow
calves, and shelbe careful to preserve
their steers and oxen, and to bring
them to the plough and such profit
able uses, and without having OBJ
tanned leaves as aforesaid, shall not
kill them, upon penalty of forfeiting
the value of the beast so killed.,
This respect for the milk-giving,
meat-producing animal grew as the
colonies prospered. By 1850, the cow
had reached still another pinnacle of
fame. A colonial historian writes:
''It is an evidence of the abundance
common among the Pilgrims who
of cattle in the Colony at this time,
that cow was given to every Indian
chief, the members of whose tribes
had brought to the proper authorities
heads of seven wolves. 1t was solemn
ly stated in the text of this regulation
that its principal object was to civil
lie and Christianize the aborigines.
The cow has performed both a con-
spicuous and a useful part in the
history of the human race, but prob
ably never before or since has so high
a compliment been paid her capacity
for accomplishing good, as in this ex-
preston of confidence in her power
to change even the wild nature of the
Indian by the softening influence of
her presence"
In time, the cows became much
more valuable than the gold and sill
yer that some of the first immigrants
came to find.
