Many locker plants sell, as well as preserve a great variety of food products. Such services generally are appreciated by house- | holders. But parts of the food industry may not be so appreciative. Quick freezing and storage cuts down | certainly, the potential consumption of commerciall canned goods. Locker plants, in time, may cut seriously into the meat packing industry.

WORD STUDY: “Use a word three times and it is yours.” Let us increase our vocabulary by mastering one word each day. Today's word: l PREDISPOSE; to give a tendency to. “Debility predisposes the body to disease.” For many years the Supreme Court of the United States has consistently upheid the right of the Negro in Southern communities to a fair trial free from the influence of bias or race prejudice. The latest opin- o dfon of the court, reversing the conviction of a Negro on a charge of murder, extends this right to a state where this issue had not been previously tested in the Federal courts—Mississippi, until recently the strong- hold of “white supremacy.” It was as long ago as 1879 that the Supreme Court invalidated a West Virginia statute of 1870 prohibiting Negroes from serving on juries. Since then the area of the South to which the court specifically applied this basic princivle has gradually been expanded until it now includes eight States.

According to the Record, spending by the Hou Appropriations Committee age! egated $35,779,122,960 during the year just ended. That is a sum too vast to be compréhended readily by the average citizen. It takes on more meaning, however, when phrased in terms of money spent per minute. Capitol re- porters took out their pencils and divided the sum of appropriations by the time the House of Repre- sentatives was in session during 1947—which was 144 days, or 686 hours and two minutes—and the result was the revelation that the House spent money at the rate of $869,227 a minute. Actually, since only a small part of the total session time was spent in considering appropriations, the House and Congress really spent money much faster than that when it really buckled down to it: | MODERN ETIQUETTE hnsnns woe 1| HEINKE GENERAL REPAIR SHOP Welding, Plumbing, Oil Burner) it Bera?
