Finally, But, say agriculture officials, the prices now being charged at retail in some large cities are not consistent at all with the prices Qeing paid for live animals in the stockyards. The recent price increases at the stockyards have not had time to be reflected in the meat now on the grocery shelves, they say. “There is no doubt,” said one official, “that some people in the meat business are charging all they think the traffic will bear.”

High Production Due The bureau of agricultural economics has been predicting all along that meat prices in 1947 would average a record high because of consumer demand, even though the domestic meat supply per person is one of the largest in many years. Production of meat during the current quarter is estimated at more than five billion pounds, well above last year. ’ Last year, 314 million pounds Were allocated for export in the current three-month period while this year the meat export allocation totals ®nly about 155 million pounds. Army purchases of meat are 30 per cent below the same period last year. Thus, a proportionately larger share of a larger meat output is now available for the U. S.. market and still meat prices are climbing.

Jobs Bureau Shift Opposed by Shaw

WASHINGTON, June 18. (U. P.). —Noble R. Shaw, Indiana Employment Security division director, appeared before the senate labor committee yesterday in opposition to President Truman's reorganization plan. Mr. Shaw, along with spokesmen for six other states, protested against a feature of the plan which proposes transfer of the U. 8. employment service to the labor department. - They objected because the shift forced them to deal with two federal agencies—the labor depart ment for employment offices, the federal security administration for unemployment compensation. If the plan is defeated, the employment service will revert to the federal security agency. The house already has rejected the plan.

Over the long years of her career she has seen the progressive strides made in the field of medicine. Everything was rudimentary, she explained, when she graduated as a nurse in 1889. ; Always a seeker of modern methods, she continuously sought further study and did work in New York and Chicago. . Worked in Rural Area But her chief love was for the private duty nurse and she labored for years fostering their cause. Miss Ott was an example of what she preached.

She subscribes to every nursing journal and attends every conference she can in the state. oT As if this study were not enough to keep her active mind busy, she schools herself with mental exercises in the study of‘ foreign languages. For diversion she currently is reading the Koran, the Mohammedan Bible. With a smile, she says: “It’s a nice world if you know how to take it. Too many people live in the stomach, rather than with a book in the mind.” -

Why They Call Hoosiers Friendly

Times State vice NOBLESVILLE, Ind. June 18.— For days, a downpour kept George] Woods of Walnut Grove from planting his crops. Then he contracted the mumps a few days ago. His neighbors stepped ir with tractors, discs, drills and planters yesterday. In one day they plowed and prepared the ground and planted 60 acres of com and soy beans for their stricken friend. “The best neighbors in, the world,” declared George. They were Rad House, Richard Mosbaugh, Robert Newby, Howard Richwine, Carl Alvey, Leslie McCord, George Faust, william and Lacy House and Lewis Smith.
