Instructions For Owners Slaughtering Livestock Farmers and other producers of livestock may easily determine whether or not they ,are eligible to slaughter without a license or permit and to consume meat with out giving up ratiot^points, under a simplified procedyjgi? announced jointly today by Me Office of Price Administration and the War Food Administration. Chief points in the joint action 1— OPA changed its meat ra tioning regulation to simplify the requirements covering point-free home consumption of meat by livestock producers. 2— WFA authorized an individ ual to slaughter for home con sumption without a license or permit if he is entitled under OPA regulations to consume the meat point-free. “We are attempting to make the requirements covering home slaughtering and point-free meat consumption as clear and simple as possible, both to aid the farmer and to conserve meat supplies for civilian and military use,” the two agencies explqjfeed. “It is of the utmost importance that live stock producers understand who may and who may not slaughter without a license and consume meat point-free. “Meat obtained from slaughter ing on the farm provides a large segment of the population with its meat needs. Under war-time rationing, it is necessary to set limitations on point-free con sumption of this mfat, in order that as much as possible may be come a part of the total supply available for rationing. “Farmers and others who pro duce livestock may, of course, continue to serve at their own table the meat they raise without giving up ration points. The sim plified limitations make it clear, however, that those who are not bonafide producers of livestock are not entitled to eat more meat than their ration stamps will buy.” Under the OPA revision a per son may consume meat without giving up ration points only if (1) he raised the livestock from birth or (2) for a period of 60 days immediately before slaughter, or (3) the weight has increased at least 35 per cent between the time he acquired the livestock and the time of slaughter. In all three in stances, the raising of the live stock must take place on a farm or other place which the livestock producer operates. In addition, to be considered eligible to slaughter and consume meat point-free, a person must PILES AND OTHER RECTAL DISEASES Cured By Office Treatment M. P. SUMMERS M. D. 605 E&W Bldg. Phone 5-7292 SIOUX CITY. IOWA have resided more than six months of each year on a farm which he operates, or must have visited the farm for the purpose of giving personal attention and supervis ion to the raising of the livestock on his premises for at least a third of the time during the period (one of those listed above) on which he bases his claim to the right to consume the meat point-free. If a person has his livestock custom-slaughtered, he must meet these same conditions, in order to get the meat from the slaughterer without giving up points. He is also required to give a certificate to the slaughterer containing the facts showing he is eligible to consume the meat point-free. Farmers or other persons who raise livestock and meet the re quirements covering home con sumption of meat, may, of course, serve the meat, point-free, to those who eat at the table—in cluding farm workers. Prisons, asylums, restaurants and other so called “institutional users,” how ever, are not permitted point-free use of the meat from livestock they raise. Those who meet the conditions permitting point-free consump tion will now be permitted by the WFA to slaughter for home con sumption without a license or per mit. With this one exception, all others who slaughter meat for themselves or for delivery to others must have a WFA permit or license, as in the past. These changes are expected to make it an easier matter for a producer of livestock to determ ine whether or not he may con sume meat point-free. It is hoped that this understanding will pro tect supplies of meat for essential military and lend-lease needs by stopping diversion of meat from legitimate distributon channels. At the same time, today’s action will dsturb as ltt^e as possble the established custom or livestock producers in slaughtering the meat they raise for home use. Illinois Performance Tests On White Hybrids Information of considerable value to corn farmers has been revealed in a report on an agronomy pro ject to develop white corn hy brids, carried on by the University of Illinois the past few years. Results of numerous 1942 per formance tests throughout the state of Illinois were very favor able to white hybrids, both in sin gle cross and double cross tests. When the yields of white single crosses were compared with those of yellow singles grown in a dif ferent test but in the same field at Mt. Morris, 111., it was found that the average yield for the whites was 88.1 bushels per acre, or 17.3 bushels higher than the average for the yellows. Records kept of thirty white single crosses in a plot at Urbana revealed that 19 of these 30 single crosses yielded better than 100 bushels per acre, the whole test averaging 102.5 bushels. In another test carried on at Mt. Morris with ten early white double crosses and 50 yellow cros ses, the highest yielding double cross was a white which produced 112.1 bushels to the acre. The av erage white in this test was 101.9 bushels per acre as compared to 98.1 for the yellows. Similarly, tests were conducted at Alhambra and Bluffs, 111. At Alhambra, where a 72-entry test was made, six out of the ten high est yielding hybrids were white, with the average yield of whites ten bushels higher than the av erage of the yellows. Although there were three times as many yellow entries as white in the Bluffs’ test, the white hybrids av eraged 140.5 bushels as compared with 132.1 bushels per acre for the yellows. Although white hybrids did not come on the market for a number of years after yellow hybrids, they >are now getting in stride in the general corn picture, with very promising results. DO THEY REALLY? Bringing Man to God The mission of the Catholic Church is to bring God to man, and man to God. Jesus Christ es tablished the means whereby she is to fulfill the first part of this mission. This is the Sacramental system. He also indicated by ex ample how she is to bring man to God. Jesus lifted man out of his earthy hopes by teaching him his inherent dignity as a man, by tell ing him, whether slave or prince, that he is important in the sight of God. Through the adminis tration of the Sacraments, the Church fulfills her mission of Look! Listen! Live! "That crossing is harmless,” he! thought. Ho had crossed it hun dreds of times as a youngster as he walked to and from school. He had crossed hundreds of additional times as the driver of a delivery truck. He had watched scores of trains rumble over that crossing. But on the day of the accident Illustrated here his familiarity with the railroad grade crossing was his death trap. A fast train roared into his small truck, tossed the motor through the air to crash against a nearby hotel. The driver and his helper were killed. The driver, a local resident, was thoroughly familiar with the crossing—too familiar. The National Safety Council Is conducting a special campaign to stop these accidents, which every day delay an average of 38 trains a total of 22 hours—a damaging blow to the nation’s war transpor tation effort. Driver carelessness is the cause of almost all grade crossing accidents. To help win the war — to save yourself and others needless suffering — the Council says, "be sure the track is clear before you start to cross." bringing God to man, and by fol lowing Christ's example she brings man to God by teaching— “Going therefore, teach all na tions” was the command given to the Apostles. That this command was obeyed immediately is shown by the first part of the Mass today. In the early days, before she had open ed formal schools, the Church taught her members the truths of their religion before the celebra tion of Mass, which is the central act of Christian worship. In the third century catechetical schools had developed in the great cities such as Alexandria. As the Christians ceased to be classed as criminals by the stat£ secular branches of learning were added to these schools. Since the Chris tian religion teaches man his true value in the sight of God, these subjects had to be presented in their proper relation to man’s ul timate destiny—heaven. Even in the early days the Church real ized what Pope Pius XI said in his letter on education: “Since education consists essentially in preparing man for what he must be and for what he must do here below, in order to attain the sub lime end for which he was cre ated . . , there can be no true education which is not wholly di rected to man’s last end.” When the barbarian came down from the north the great mona steries, which had preserved the wisdom of the past, handed this tradition of learning to him and taught him besides how to till his fields and earn his livlihood by other means than war and plun der. In the so-called dark ages the lamp of learning was kept burning in these monastic schools, so that when Europe was united under Charlemagne it could be brought forth and set aflame in the great palace and cathedral schools and later in the univer sities. From the very dawn of Chris tianity the Church has been main ing schools of one sort or another where man could be taught his true destiny. There he might learn of the solidarity that binds mankind together in the brother hood of man under the fatherhood of God. She has taken secular knowledge into these schools for, although destined for heaven, man must pass through this life in which he has a vocation to fulfill. Catholic schools are not new in the life of the Church, nor are they an infringement on the rights of the state. They are necessary in order that she may obey the command given to her by Christ. Wherever the Catholic Church is, there you will find her schools. The missioners of today are Carrying out this tradition in foreign lands, where they teach the natives human knowledge as well as heavenly wisdom. Please let us answer any ques tion you may have on any teach ing or practice of the Catholic Church. Address: Catholic In formation Society, 7800 Kenrick Road, St. Louis, Mo.
