As the breeding work progressed selection was made in rows well grazed by the cattle. During the years, there were sev eral good demonstrations of the preference that cattle had for the new sweet and juicy strain which was grazed literally into the ground while the common Sudan grass was grazed down only to the height of about onr foot.

If you think that reads like a . riddle, what else- does the actual accident shown here mean to you? Here's the report on it: • The driver's view of the crossing was clear and unobstructed for a -distance of three miles. Flashing . light signals warned of the approach of a train. But the driver, with two passengers drove onto the crossing. Result : Two occupants of _the car killed, one injured, car wrecked --and train delayed. _ The surviving passenger of the car said the three were sober and were not drowsy from tiredness-- but had been talking. In other words, distraction of the driver by conversation with passengers blinded him to deadly danger, even though his eyesight ' was good. The National Safety Council is conducting a special campaign to Stop these accidents which every Meat Must Be Thoroughly Prepared Before Canning Miss Alma Garvin, nutrition specialist of Ohio State university, says meat can be canned at home sue- 1 cessfully at any season, but this method of food preservation always requires exact attention to detail. Only meat which is firm, has good color, and is clean andfree from contamination should be canned. Best results will be obtained when a pressure cooker is used in meat canning, but the job can be successfully done by the water bath method of processing. If a water bath is used, the container must be deep enough to hold a rack which will , allow jars to set at least one inch under the surface of the water. With either the pressure cooker or the water bath method, good jars and seals are essential. Meat to be canned should be roasted, boiled, or fried long enough to heat it through thoroughly before it is placed in the cans. The meat cut .into uniformly sized pieces then should be placed in clean, hot jars which are to be filled to within onehalf inch of the top. Enough hot broth from the meat or hot water should be added to cover the meat, the top of the jars should be wiped with a clean cloth, -and the jars partially sealed. The meat then goes into the processing unit. The average processing time required with a pressure cooker is one hour; and the required time is about three hours if the water bath method is used. day delay 38 trains a total of 22 hours -- a shattering blow to the nation's war transportation effort.

The army has called up and medically listed the whole male population up to age 45. All workers up to the age of 65 are covered by labor decrees and may be held in their present jobs if these are deemed important or drafted to other tasks of greater moment to the nation. War industry, within the limits <tt New Zealand possibilities, has been greatly stepped up. This country is now making light tanks for its own use, supplying large quantities of fuses, for empire-made shells under a plan which was^intended to link Australia, New, Zealand, India and South Africa on a munitions production line, building ships of; various types for employment in the Pacific operations. 5y; Mobilized for Defense. ^ » Earlier in the South Pacific strtlif-r gle, when New Zealand did not know just how much aid she could expect, a large army was mobilized to defend these shores against possible Japanese invasion under a plan to sever the eastern sea lane to Australia.. The improved Pacific situation and the fact that many men may now be rated as trained soldiers has enabled therjarmy to let some of the reservists go back into the production line. But these things could be had only at a price in the industrial field. Not only luxury trades but industries of first importance have been forced nearly to shut-down level. The building industry, long maintained because of the shortage of homes, is barely moving. Transport has also been throttled down to necessity level and the many foreign traders who used to thrive on the spending of a community always well supplied with cash have had to find other jobs. What comes into New Zealand now is what is needed to help win the war. The change in the whole national setup was apparent last Christmas, when stores closed up over Christmas and New Year's because the strain on their stocks had made it not worth while for them to stay open. What They Can Do Without. For the New Zealander the war has been a revelation in what he can do without. With his gasoline ration cut to a mere dribble, tires unprocurable for pleasure motoring, with newspapers refusing new subscribers and even cutting off their lists those who go away for vacations, with telephones so short that he is unable to get one when he moves house, luxury foods vanished out of j the shops and tea and candy avail-! able in small supplies, with even \ such things as vegetables scarce in! places and at high prices, the native inhabitant has found that he can still live a comfortable life. In any event the New Zealander has tailored his life to helping the; wkr drive. The men left now are mostly in essential industry or are1 over age even for industrial mobilization, which reaches up to 65. They frequently toil long hours and on top' of this have some home defense job. Women, besides running their homes, knit and sew, staff soldiers' clubs, pack prisoners' parcels, drive, autos for civil defense units and be-• long to various auxiliary outfits with the fighting forces. Today they have ff new task: they must help entertain American boys who are eager for home life and quickly responsive to what they get of it. Americans, looking over the New Zealand scene, never fail to wonder at the things New Zealanders can do when so many of their men have been mobilized. Finds 'Outpost' Shopping ^ Better Than Back Home SEATTLE, WASH.--Isabel McCullough, Red Cross recreational supervisor stationed in Alaska, spent her leisure for more than a year planning that shopping trip to Seattle. Back to civilization she started out. Two hours later she reappeared iat the hotel. "The shopping trip was a failure. It look 45 minutes to get one small item and i I quit. No clerks, no stocks. "My favorite restaurant had no steaks at all and in fact little meat of any kind. I could get but one cup of coffee and one pat of butter." But in Alaska--ah! "There the steaks are two inches thick. We drank all the coffee we wanted and there isn't any limit on the butter." She's ready to start back.
