day asthe U3DA market report
summary wcs made public.
The American people are .eat
In twics as much ready-to-cook
turkey and 70 per cent more ready-to-cook
chicken, while they have
reduced their consumption of corn
meal 50 per cent since World War
II, according to the report
The American people are eating
more food as a whole, but more of
gome foods, and less of others, the
report shows- Each person is eat
ing an eighth more food than he
did before the war. Less staple
foods are consumed, but more
luxury food is eaten. -
Same Vegetables v
Each person is eating about the
satae amount of fresh vegetables
this year as before the war. But
htL is eating nearly half again as
many canned vegetables and
here's a figure that sounds like
the national budget 1.400 per
cent more frozen vegetables. Each
person is eating about a fourth
less fresh fruit,, but close to 10
times as much frozen fruit. Use
of wheat flour on the home market
is down about a fifth and the same
figure holds true of potatoes.
Qne study made by the USDA
recently estimated that the daily
time needed to feed a family of
four, using ready-to-serve foods,
took a little better than an hour
and a half, and that partially pre
pared foods took double that time.
The government experts found
that jf all of the foods had been
entirely prepared in the kitchen,
either at the time of cooking or
at preserving time, five and a half
hours would be needed to prepare
the same meaL
Paid For
, But it was also discovered that
the service is being paid for. The
home-prepared meals cost about
a , fourth, less than the ready-to-
serve meals. However, the gov
ernment researchers aren't at all
sure that it isn't a very good thing
all around. , A very large number
of 'former housewives are now em
ployed. This' even holds true in many
rural - areas. What in grandmo
ther's time would have been a
housewife may now be a nurse, a
teacher, a stenographer, a cannery
worker, or any one of the hundreds
of other jobs offered. Because she
spends less time at home, she
buys more ready-to-serve foods.
And in so doing, the agricultural
economists point out many other
people are employed preparing
these foods.

a I vicious one," the economists

It was expected the first of the
series of hearings would be held
early in August
Hearings will be held in Portland,
Salem, Klamath Falls, Ontario and
Redmond and a southern Oregon
city yet to be designated.
There will be one hearing in each
of the western Oregon congression

Later Regrriatieas
: The group, summoned here by J.
F. Short, agricultural department
director, and M. E. Knickerbocker.
animal division chief, considered
not only proposed regulations for
the pilot program but also regula
tions which will be required after
the 1957 Legislature if that body
decides to make compulsory meat
inspection statewide. The pilot pro
gram will be set up on an area
basis.
The committee approved the de
partment's plan to put two inspec
tion crews each including a veter
inarian and three lay inspectors
in Hie field at a time under the
pilot program. Knickerbocker said
two such crews could cover a large
community at one time. He stress
ed that all plants would be treated
equally with respect to meat, and
met products going on the market.
Numbers Cited , -
For smaller communities, only
one crew will be needed, Knicker
bocker said. Thus, he said,, two
smaller communities may be un
der simultaneous inspection.
Short said the department will
begin work at once filling in details
of the proposed regulations outlin
ed to the committee at Thursdays
meeting. Copies of the completed
regulations will be available to any
one interested prior to the hearings
and at the bearings.
Pending release of the complete
proposed regulations, . department
officials said the hearing would
cover three matters, as follows:
1. The proposed pilot inspection
program regulations. .
2. The proposed regulations if the
meat inspection program is adopt
ed statewide.
3. Proposed regulations covering
standards of identity for some pro
cessed meat products.
No Changes .
Officials said no changes would
be required in construction details
under the pilot program for those
plants now meeting construction
regulations which have been in ef
fect for sometime.
During the pilot program, the
state will e qu i p its inspection
crews with tables, head racks, re
ceptacles and other equipment for
examination and disposition of
meat products.

15,000 Added
Jobs Reported
By Emp loyers
Nearly 15,000 additional jobs
were reported by Oregori employ
ers last month despite the late
season, the State Unemployment
Compensation Commission -announced
Thursday. The mid-June
estimate, of 474,900 non-farm
employment, was 16,200 higher
than a year ago.
About half of the increase v-as
in logging and lumber opera
tions while machinery manufac
turing, ship repairing, utilities,
finance, trade and service all
contributed to the gains.
Insured . unemployment was
dropping steadily, reaching a
weekly level below 8.000 or about
a third of the number reported
three months ago. Prospects
were for the best balance in the
summer labor market for some
time, officials agreed, with the
lat.e harvest promising consider
able pick-up not only in tem
porary help but in food process
ing and many other related
activities.
An increase in unfilled . job
openings reflected the improve
ment in conditions. '
Although the non-farm job to
tal fell slightly short of the June
figures in the early fifties, sev
eral groups reported higher em
ployment. '
Lumber and logging operations
were keeping nearly 90,000 per
sons busy, while metals, machin
ery, ship repairing and "construc
tion were close to or above com
parable, periods. Other miscel
laneous industries also were ex
panding again, while finance and
governmental jobs were estab
lishing new highs for the state.
Lumbering, construction and
food processing all were higher
