Editorial—
As indicated in a news story
elsewhere in this issue, the Sew
ard P-TA has reached a crisis,
and has announced a public
mass meeting at the school for
tiie purpose at in organizing or of
disbanding, and turning the
present lunds over to some
woithy cause, such as the es
tablishment of a well-equipped
first aid room for the sellout.
It is difficult to imagine how
an organization which has had
such a splendid incord of ac
complishment has come to the
point where the question of dis
banding must be seriously con
sidered.
Through the tireless and skill
ful efforts of a group of P-TA
members, the school cafeteria is
now operating on a self-sustain
ing basis, and is one of the larg
est and most successful in the
entire Territory.
The P-TA also rendered in
valuable service in bringing the
school library up to par. and
protecting the accreditation of
the Seward High School, at a
time when regular funds for the
purpose were unavailable.
There have been many other*
achievements of the local P-TA.
most of which were taken for
granted and forgotten. Put even
if the local P-TA had no such
splendid record i" the pas', the
fact remains that the American

( ducational tradition has created
an important role tor the P-TA
which can hardly be assumed by
any other agency. In ordt r for
American schools to function
the cooperation of parents and
teachers is necessary. There
must be a common meeting
ground of those interested in
securing the best possible edu
cation for the citizens of to
morrow.
Yes—there is work to be done
by the P-TA—work which must
otherwise be performed by gov
ernmental, rather than private
a n d voluntary organizations.
The only alternative to exces
sive cost ol' government, and
that means even higher taxes,
is voluntary action. This neces
sarily means, in turn, that a
minority of enlightened persons
are found who are willing to
give of their best efforts with
no hope of direct personal gain.
Are there such people in Sew
ard? We honestly believe that
there are. We predict a large
turnout for the P-TA meeting
next Wednesday. We even go
so far as to venture that there
will be a few present who are
willing to donate the necessary
time and effort, to become offi

TODAY, WITH /^TSSIOTIC

IS NORMAL, PROVIDING MORE
MEAT FOR CONSUMERS.
Thanks fo Science
The average American house
hold’s meat budget is being
stretched by science this year.
One reason poultry and pork are
relatively plentiful is the fact
that they are being fed on rations
containing minute amounts of
antibiotic. As little as a third of
an ounce of terramycin in a ton
of feed will speed up growth so
much as to bring broilers to mar
ket size at 10 weeks instead of 12.
With turkeys and hogs, from four
to six weeks are saved. Farmers
save time and feed.
Just how antibiotics work is
not understood, and research is
still being conducted. Antibiotic
does not change the character of
the meat, except that it comes
from younger animals. Antibiotic
fortified rations do kill certain
bacteria in the animals’ intestines,
but at one-third ounce per ton,
no measurable antibiotic enters
the animal’s blood stream. Pigs
and poultry fed antibiotics are
thriftier. Fewer die, more come
to market, and faster.
That last, after all, is what the
consumer is interested in — be
cause that means more wishbones,
drumsticks and pork chops in the
butcher shop and on the table.
