quartermaster has to go to the big packers and ask for 60 per cent of their products. So your local deal-era have no meat because there isn't any."

He told of his various experi-ences while he was serving on a committee of five commissioned by Secretary Knox to travel all over the nation, to investigate the Navy's food supply, inspect food dumps, and analyze the books in answer 'to a change that the Navy had large stores of surplus foods which were going bad. He stated that the committee found no such surplus and added that "If you could have seen one-fifth of what we saw you would be proud of your Navy, for those boys are be-ing fed marvelously with the best cuts of prime beef and choice iamb."

"If an inn, or hotel has meat," continued Mr. Crotty, "they have it through the chiseler or the blackmarketers. They could only give it once a month if they were on the level. The legitimate hotel or restaurant living on rationing and living as an American can't do it."

"We haven't seen anything yet so far as rationing goes. The far-mer hasn't been able to feed his cattle corn and then sell the cattle at the O.P.A. price. There has been uo cbrn-fed beef on the market and won't be until November. There will be a drastic cut in fats and oils. Japan cut us off from our supply of oils and fats. We can't deny those things to the destitute people in Europe and according to the Geneva conference the job of the Army is to feed these people."

LOUIS SCANLON'S ON THE ANDOVER LINE*

ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Robert V. Deyer-

mond, 91 Elm street, announce the engagement of their daughter,. Gladys Elliott, to PFC David L. Markert, U.S.M.C., son of Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy T. Markert, 56 Chest-nut street.

Miss Deyermond is a graduate of Punchard high school, and at pres-ent is employed by the M. T. Ste-vens Co. in Haverhill.

PFC Markert was graduated from Punchard high school, and attended Lowell Textile Institute for one year before leaving for the service in July, 1943. He is now in Quantico, Virginia, where he is enrolled in officer candidate school.

"Contrary to some opinions, everyone of the big packing houses has come through beautifully. Thousands of tons of meat have been sunk on the high seas, but the boys on the beachheads must be fed. We are raising thousands of tons of vegetables on the Paci-fic's islands, and Australia has worked the lend-lense in reverse by helping to feed our boys. It's cheaper because of the short haul. The boys are getting marvelous food'. I'll grant it's not prepared by mother, but it's a well-balanced meal."

"The next four to six months will he bad," he stated. "We will eat lots of things we never saw before. There is a great shortage of chicken because the soldiers in this country get chicken once a week, and that means 2,000,000 a week."

He pointed out that many people have had more money than ever before, and in accordance with the American way the average man wants to give his family more. than he had, and therefore orders the finest cuts of beef.. The farmer and the rancher were taken into the service and upset the nation's economy.

After the speaker a musical pro-gram and social hour with re-freshments was held.

Sunday, June 3 To Be Shut In Day

International Shut Ins' Day is Sunday, June 3. An effort is being made through the branches of the International Shut In Society to have calls made on Shut In folk next Sunday. Andover is represent. ed on the Massachusetts branch of the Shut In Society by Miss Flor-ence I. Abbott., Mrs. Thaxter Eaton and Miss C. Madeleine Hewes. How-ever, no one need be a member to write a letter, make a personal tele-phone call, send a plant, or send clippings or poems that have helped you, to some Shut Ins on Sunday.

It is interesting to people in this locality to know that Miss Con-stance E. Jenkinson, sister of the Rev. Egbert W. A. Jenkinson of Methuen, is president of the Massa-chusetts branch of the Shut In Society.

"Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled by them."

How are you doing on meat and sugar and cigarettes these days? How do you like the prospect of a much harder six months ahead?

According to Andrew J. Crotty, whuse connections with Army and Navy feeding and the O.P.A. ad-ministration of rationing qualify him to speak with authority, we haven't seen anything yet. Much of the difficulty that we are ex-periencing these days is unavoid-able, and not a single one of us will grumble because the boys in the Army and the Navy are being 'better fed than we are. We don't mind at all if people in the service are better treated than civilians, but what gripes most is that some

civilians are treated better than others. The purpose of rationing is that all should be treated fairly; yet we all know there are abuses. Mr.' Crotty pointed out in hts talk here Monday that restaurants and hotels that serve choice pieces of meat very often are not able to do so and still live within the regula-tions. In other words, they are dealing with black markets, and anybody who patronizes them is aiding and abetting the black mar-ket.

Every restaurateur, every store-keeper and every citizen' should join to make certain that everyone is treated alike. Common sense should be used by the storekeepers in distributing their supplies. if anybody happens to get more car-

tons of cigarettes than is usual, he certainly should not sell them by the carton, hut should spread out his supply so that everybody would get a break, rather than, just a few. If a storekeeper gets just so much meat every week, he certainly should. try to see that it is not the same person that gets the choice cuts every week, even if that per-son does manage to slip him an extra five dollar bill every once in a while.

There are abuses. Anybody who collaborates in these abuses is far from being an American.

BILACK MARKET NEWS Before Rationing of Fresh Meats began, there

were in these United States about 1500 Packing Plants that supplid every Meat Dealer with all the Meats he could sell. These plants also shipped an enormous amount of Meat to foreign countries.

Now, since rationing of Meats became a law, there have been issued over 41,000 permits allowing men to slaughter Beef, Lamb and Veal only. At this writing, I do not know how many permits have been granted to men to slaughter Hogs! I am told there are over ten times as many!

Mr. Fellow Citizen, This Is Your Problem, just as well as mine.

Question—Who granted these permits? Question—Where do they get the meat to

slaughter? Question—Where do they sell it? If you want to know the answer to these ques-

tions, just WRITE to your Senator and Congressman —THEY ought to know.

There are over 200,000 regular meat dealers and not one of us can get enough to supply one-tenth of our customers
