T"#" Word eomaa fnna Waahington that Americans are eating .more meat now than they wars tin Months ago when the fovwnuneat called upon them to eat lees bjr ebaerving meatless Tuesday. They •added, however, that this does not necessarily mean that the meatless day campaign is "failing to achieve its principal objective, a reduction in the feeding of grain to livestock so that more cereals might be mad)* available for shipment abroad. The surveyed continued by saying that this is the season of the year when livestock marketing normally increases and when meat production goes up. It also is the season of the year when appetites for meat tend to gfow sharper because* of colder weather. Meat production by federally-inspected slaughterers was running less than 300,000,000 pounds a week when the meatless Tuesday campaign was started. Now It is averaging more than 400,000,000 pounds and probably will go higher before the month is out. The bulk of this increase is moving directly into consumption. As is the case normally, some of the seasonal increase 4s going into cold storage for sale later «when supplies will be down. Some of the current season's increase in meat production reflects earlier marketing of livestock, particularly hogs, than has been the case in the past few years. In other words, a lot of hogs which under conditions of the past few years for further fattening are coming to market now. Evidence of. this is contained in agriculture department reports that market supplies of hogs are running about eight pound* lighter than the 240 pounds average of a year ago Likewise, some of the current increase in meat production is resulting from the fact that some ca'ves and semi-fattened cattle which would normally have been kept on feed a lot longer are also being so'd for slaughter now instead. What are the differences in the conditions now and the past few years which are influencing these changes in livestock feeding and fattening? • «r The answer is to be found in the factors which led the government to all for lower meat consumption, including a much shorter supply of feed grains, due to the small corn crop; high price of feed grains and larmer uncertainty as to future livestock and meat prices. "DON'T LET DEATH TAKE YOUR HOLIDAY," WARNING TO MOTORISTS day??"'4 1/64 Death Take Your Holi- With that slogan as a keynote, the National Safety Council announced today a nationwide cami check the huge Christmas toll. The Christmas-New Year holiday season is the most hazardous single period of the year, according to council statistics. In traffic accidents alone, three times as many persons are killed during a Christmas holiday period than on the same days of the preceding two Weeks. Heavier travel and the festive' spirit of the holiday season increase the normal winter hazards, such as bad weather, slippery roads and more hours of darkness. More than ISO national organizations, city and state officials, safety councils and civic leaders have joined forces with the oouncil in the yearend campaign. Together they seek to create in the public mmd an awareness of the special holiday hazards, and to enlist voluntary cooperation on the part of every individual to hold accidents to a minimum this Christmas. The council emphasised that the campaign is the final effort of the year to hold the f947 traffic death toll below the 1946 total of 33,700. "Christmastime is family time, the season of reunion, of joy in one's children, of drawing even closer the most .fundamental ties that bind us together Unly a season to be merry, said Ned H. Dearborn, president of the council "But it is a season to be wary, as well. The tragedy of an accident becomes even more poignant during the Yule season. It takes only a little forethought; a little extra care and, often, just a little extra courtesy to make certain a Christmas celebration of Joy and fsetlvity unshadowed by campaign to Holiday "Remember dont your hottdair.* let death take FIND MISSING MAN The body ot Harry Newberg, 57, a Genoa salesman, who diaappeared four month# age, was found in the hayloft of an nhaadoned barn on the Fred Boyton <§ari* near the Sycamore city limits last week by a Soup of boys.

Censorship A veterinary was surprised to have a customer ask him to cut off the tail of his full-grown dog, and asked the reason. "Never mind that," replied the dog owner, "just cut his tail off, all of it." "But,". remonstrated the vet, "That is a bit unusual. We crop puppies' tails, but it would be cruel to cut this dog's tail, he's too old. We just don't do things like that unless you have sufficient cause." "And do I have cause!" excitedly shouted the customer, "My mother-in-law is coming to visit us next week and I don't want anything around the house to indicatea welcome!"
