When we use the term ''meat and meat products" in Statistical discussion the common meaning of the term Is applied to beef, mutton, pork and the pack. ing house products derived from cattle, sheep snd hogs. Poultry snd fish are generally spoken of as being sepsrate ('ems snd are usually classified by themselves. When It Is stated that the people of a nation are not meat esters, it does not follow that they may not consume ani mal products. Thus, certain peo ple of India while refusing to eat red meet, subsist upon a lacto- vegetable diet. The Chinese produce and eat quantities of poultry and eggs aa well as pork, and the Japanese have for their food base rice-fish diet. ' There Is no other food upon which the people of the world live so exclusively as with rice. . The - people of the world may : therefore, be divided for most practical discussions into the group of "meat esters" and the group or "non-meat eaters." Meat eat ers may be defined as those people who obtain a material quan tity of their sustenanoe from the carcasses of cattle, sheep or swine and to t lesser extent from the carcasses of goats, horses, ssses or mules. The total consumption of dressed meat, meat products and the extra edible -parts of meat animals at the beginning of the Twentieth Century was estimated to be 60 billion pounds. This product was consumed among too million peo ple. Thus, about one-third the peo ple of the world fall under the classification of being meat-eaters, and. two-thirds the people of the world arc non-meat eaters. . There are 33 countries in which the consumption, of meat and meat products had at this period been under s study. The amount con sumed annually varied from lesa than to pounds of meat in such countries ss Portugal. Bnain and Italy, to more than 300 pounds in Argentina, Australia and New Zealand. The average consumption of the meat eating countries was oout n pounds. If the extra edible parts are included the total would have been about 100 pounds. Fish, eggs snd poultry and butter are not lnoluded. : While .tat ao-called "meat ab stainers" consume fish, fowl and eegs in considerable quantities It is probably correct to say that one half the population of the world subsists almost exclusively upon plants.

It is of interest to note that historically even among the western nations the eating of meat was greatly re stricted among all classes save the most favored until most recent times. The period from 1875 to 1919 may not Improperly be called the age of meat, particularly as It applies to western Europe. It took World War I to make radical changes in the human diet of these nations. Before the Introduction of steam transportation, it Is noted that with but minor exceptions the pop ulation of western Europe had to depend largely upon the meat of animals which could be reared within driving distance of the larg er areas of population. Before the days of railroads and refrigeration the driving of turkeys and geese to market was a regular business in England. McCullogh states that. "So late as 1763. the slaughter of bullocks lor the supply of public markets was a thing wholly un known even In Glasgow though the city had a population of 30,000." Great Britain which now im ports about 60 per cent of all meat and meat products that en tered international trade depend ed almost wholly upon home grown meats up to 1880. During the previous century, England ex ported meat. There being some commerce in salted meats thus cattle were driven from the coun ty of Durham in Northern Eng land to London, slaughtered, salt ed and placed upon sailing ships piying to tne orient. It was this trade which was largely instru mental In Increasing the Shorthorn cattle when a demand for cattle for beef displaced the need of cat tle for work purposes.

Some of those be ing pinched, such as home builders are complaining. But in retail sales the elfect Isn't yet apparent. Consumer credit continues its steady rise and In stalment debt stands at record levels. Businessmen are paying . the most for loans from New York banks since September 1053. The Federal Reserve Bank of New roric reports average rates here rose sharply In the first half of September to 3.48 per cent. This results from a tirmer money policy of the Federal Reserve System. As Interest rates rise, the mines of U.S. Government securities fall.

Hall Predicts GOP Victory NEW YORK Wl Republican Na tional Chairman Leonard W. Hall says that even if President Eisen hower does not run in 1956, the OOP will win with the help of "Ike's philosophy, personality and the record of his administration." And if the President should de cide to seek re-election. Kali said yesterday, he will "sweep the coun try just as he did four years ago." Hall told a "Pulse of the Na tion" luncheon, given by New York's National Republican Club, that only the President could say whether he will seek re-eiec'Ion. "We must leave that decision en tirely to the President himself." Hall said. He said he had no idea when Eisenhower would announce his plans, but he thought the Presi dent's heart attack might prompt an earlier announcement than would normally bo expected. . In foreign affairs, Hall said, the President has brought in a "bold and dynamic" policy to replace "indecision and fumbling;. ' On the domestic scene, he said, "more Americans are working at more jobs, making more money (with more take-home pay and more value to their doilar to buy more good things of life than ever in our history." ...and bananas are just one of the inviting fresh fruits and vegetables featured this week in the KM i i i t . your money back on any item, that . doesn't please you HAL NEW YORK W Dear Sarah, You have been tn your grave two years. You never heard of me hi your lilt, ana I never neara oi vou until an hour ago. I am taking this way of letting the world know wnat a wonaeriui wue you were. I was late lo work, and trailed a cab driven by your husband, Max. It was a crisp clear autumn morn ing, the kind that makes a music in your veins. "It's a fine day." I said to Max, "but I guess in the cab business vou make more money on rainy days." "All days are good days," Max said. "I don't worry about the monev. I take it as it comes, and 1 1 don't cry if less comes in one day than another, "People let trifles pile up and wear them down. I don't. I've been hacking 23 years, mostly at night. I can remember during the depres sion when I came home with only 40 cents after 12 hours at the wheel. "Some of my friends in business for themselves fret now if they don't make more money every day. I can remember the days when I used to lend them a few cans of food to keep them going, and I think they're crazy. 'Stay healthy,' I tell them, 'and you have nothing left to worry about.' " I asked Max if he wouldn't like to own his own business, and he answered: "In 1939 I could have bought my own cab for $200, and I didn't have It. Today it would take $14,- 000, and I don't have that. But I don't worry," Then he told me about the only time in his life money meant any thing to him. He told about meeting and mar rying you 19 years ago. He told aoout the first years when all you oiten had to eat was bread and milk and coffee, and how cheer ful you were. He told about the kids coming and how well you made out with little money, and now you never complained over the long years he worked at night and you were alone. "She had happiness in her," he said more than once. Max told me how thriftily you put by the dollars and pennies, un til you both had a nest egg of $3,- 000 when you fell ill of cancer nearly three years ago. He told how the nest egg dribbled away in efforts to cure you spec ialists, nurses, treatments and bow you fought against spending it. He told how he finally quit work and took care of you himself. because he couldn't bear to leave you alone. He told how resigned you were. "She wanted to stay on her feet she wouldn't go to bed," Max! in tow- roduee Parade at$af BOYLE said. "And I couldn't stand to see her in pain. But she stayed on her feet until the last two weeks. "She taught me to cook and take care of the house." Max didn't want to talk about your death. In the two years since you left he hasn't forgotten you. "A cab driver meets many lone ly, women," he said. "But they don't interest me. You know the reason they're so lonely? It s be cause they have loneliness In them. "My wife wasn't that way at all. She always had happiness in her," Max then told me about your two daughters. He Is very proud of them. "The older girl Is 17," he said. "She won't get to go to college. The nest egg was for that. But she didn't want to go to college very much. She soon will gradu ate from business school and she is going steady with a fine boy. Our other girl is 15 and doing well in fchool. They're both good girls." You yourself are in Max's thoughts often whils he's driving. "It makes me feel bad," he re marked, "when couples get in my car and start quarreling. One says, 'I hate you.' and the other says, 'I wish you'd drop dead.' Some times I turn around and tell them, 'Don't talk like that. You don't know what you really have, just being together. Stay healthy.' " When I got out of the cab I could see Max felt better himself, just from reliving out loud his memor ies of his life with you. He loves to talk about you but happily, not sadly, and I think that would please you "Stay healthy!" he called back, and drove away smiling, still thinking of you.
