THIS YEAR’S MEAT SUPPLY As of the early part of March, retail meat prices in the Chicago area, which are generally typical of the country as a whole, were down an average of 20 per cent be- low lost summer's peak levels. Some popu- lar cuts were down much more—round steak, for instance, was being offered at 80 per cent less than at the high point. Supply and demand did that. A heavy 1498. supply of meat came to market, and at the same time there was onsumer buying. The meat had to be moved and lower prices were the inevita- ble result. As an interesting by-product of the change, one of the biggest meat pack- ers took a substantial some slackening in operating. loss for At present, there has been something of a reversal in the trend of livestock sup- plies and prices are expected to level out. However, no need fear a meat Last year the average shortage. American ate 146 pounds of meat. This year, it is estimated, he will aceount for 145 pounds, made up of 60 pounds of beef, 9 pounds of veal, 72 pounds of pork, and 4 pounds of lamb and mutton. A decline in available supplies of beef, veal, lamb and mutton will be made up by an increase in the amount of pork. The American dining table will con- tinue to carry its share of the good things of li and meat is one of them. The price we must pay, when measured egainst the average increase in dollar income, will be fair and reasonable. 4 ee A just decision is one that lets us win.

The souvenir hunters will probably have a similar opportunity in the future. In remodelling the White House, there will be tons of debris left over for dis- posal, : Probably, some astute American will buy some of it andfor the next two or three centuries, descendants will be sell- in parts of the White House. “times fell in | creation.
