Reduction of the share-the-meat allowance from 2% pounds is going to mean only one less pork chop or hamburger a week for everyone, a small price to insure an adequate meat supply for the armed forces and allies, according to Sleeter Bull, professor of meats, University cf Illinois College of Agriculture. While the 355 ounces of meat is 22 per cent less than each individual enjoyed in 1941, it is only 14 per cent, or one-seventh, less than the 10-year averfijg'^" Furthermore, the 35 ounce qiiota may be amplified with poultry, fish, eggs, liver, heart, tongue, sweetbreads, brains, kidneys and game, since none of these will be included in the rationing. t.
