VETERINARIANS NAME OFFIGERS

J. E. Tinder of Brook Chosen President; U. S. Leader to Speak.

The Indiana Veterinary Medical Association today elected Dr. J. E. Tinder of Brook as president of the organization for the coming year. The Association, meeting for the second day of its 58th annual convention at the Hotel Severin, also elected Dr. E. S. Hinkle of Centerville as vice. president and Dr. Charles C. Dobson of New Augusta as secretary-treasurer. Speakers today included Dr. H. W. Jakeman of Boston, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association, and Dr. H. M. Bethke of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station at Wooster.

5000 Face Army Call

Dr. Jakeman said that about 5000 members of the veterinary profession would be called to use their training with the armed forces within the next two years. “Despite the publicity given to mechanized warfare, animals still play an important part in military operations,” Dr. Jakeman pointed out. “Also, now that the nation's food

supply has become more vital than

ever, veterinary service is of {(\e utmost importance in safe-guarding live-stock health.”

Protein Diet Urged

Dr. Jakeman estintated that 750,000 horses were used by Germany during the invasion of Poland. Dr. Bethke, speaking on “Animal Nutrition and the Veterinary Profession,” said that “much of the poor performance and unthriftiness of farm animals is due to inadequate feeding of protein.” “There are scientific reasons for using a variety of protein sources instead of single components,” he said.

Sears’ Catalogue 'Hedges'

CHICAGO, Jan. 14 (U. P.).—Sears, Roebuck & Co. announced today in its 1942 spring and summer catalogue that it had resorted to “a protective hedge” on prices, permitting the company to demand more than the listed price for goods. Explaining that such a hedge, ‘used only a few times in the company's history,” was made necessary by the unpredictable and rapidly changing economic factors in wartime, the company said in a catalogue editorial: “We ask for understanding and co-operation if, because of future Government regulations or taxes, or other causes beyond our control, it becomes necessary for us to ask higher prices than those shown in our catalogues. We hope this provision will not be needed.” In previous catalogues the com-

pany guaranteed that prices would be unchanged for six months. The company said new catalogue prices exceeded those of a year ago as well as those of the 1941 fall and winter book, but that the “new prices are slightly below current retail prices.” The company acknowledged ‘“‘congeries of trouble and embarrassment” in trying to plan a catalogue to last for six months amid the changing factors of rationing, priorities, price control and taxes. It cited the arrival of the new tire and automotive curtailment “just as the book was going to print.” Tire pages were remade at deadline to include the heading: “If you have a ration card order . is Announcing a new policy of merchandise simplifications and development of priorities substitutes. the company listed a series of changes to new materials Some examples: Use of alternative metals saved 9,000,000 pounds of aluminum (equivalent of 493 bombers or 2629 fighting planes); 18,000,000 pounds
