Big Pigs Faster A FEW WEEKS ago when Percy Julian, research wizard of the Glidden Co. spoke at the Senate Ave. YMCA he mentioned on the platform that B-12 might change the world. Dr. Julian said B-12 (animal protein) could possibly change the balance of civilizations. He mentioned China and the deep South where diets are starchy. But B-12 is doing another job before it undertakes remaking man. It already is doing a good Job of remaking pigs. It has been found at Michigan State University that concentrated B-12 will make pigs put on weight 45 per cent faster on a feeding lot than pigs on the usual diet. Not only do pigs grow faster on. B-12 concentrate but they eat less; all of which fits nicely into the: farmer's idea of making money.

28 Billion Tin Cans

IT IS LITTLE wonder people drive out through the country in the still of the starry night and roll rubbish cans into farm ditches. If they live beyond the pale of city rubbish collection they do/

not know what to do with it. We have no defense for those who mar the beauty of our countryside but it is largely due to the consistent upswing of the packaging industry that households find themselves collecting more and more of what their groceries and other goods come in. .

Tin can production is up 70 per cent over the pre-war figure, and the makers insist they have just scratched the surface of the market. Today you can buy food ranging from live lobsters and whale steaks to frozen lemonade in tin, And the industry is looking longingly at the canning of such things as explosives, electrical instruments and’ drills.

They would have the veterans fill out a form notifying the Veterans Administra-| tion of a change in address to the address of the store. The oral agreement was that the merchant would get the check, call the veteran to come down and endorse it, and then give him any money above what he owed the store, When hundreds of veterans suddenly moved to the same address, !

They checked on certain of the most popular addresses, found out they be-| longed to stores and warned the merchants that there was nothing to prevent the veterans from filling in a new change-of-address notice countermanding the earlier one. Agency officials say in many cases veterans are doing this. 16 Million to Benefit

The insurance refund totals $2.8 billion and is payable to 16 million veterans according to the amount of national service life insurance they carried between 1940 and 1948. The minimum refund is about 90 cents, the maximum $528. Recently the Veterans Administration published a formula whereby veterans—if they re-
