Antarctic Whaling Industry Helps Meet World Food Needs PALO ALTO, CALIF. — The world's Antarctic whaling and whale oil industry is experiencing a healthy postwar revival through increased use of whale oil for hu man consumption in oleomargarine. That statement with facts as sembled from governments through out the wolrd, is set forth in a pamphlet by Dr. Karl Brandt, Stan ford university professor of agricul ture economics. Brandt wrote that in 1938 the gov ernments of Europe felt tensions of the coming war and began to stock pile whale oil. It became a top pri ority item of basic war essentials, along with wheat and sugar. He pointed out that its remarka ble adaptability to storage made it even more sought after. One cargo of Antarctic whale oil was stored in the United States in 1941 and used in Eiigland in 1947. The oil was enough to supply the British popula tion with their daily margarine ra tion for five weeks. In the 1938-39 season the world's fleet of whaling vessels reached its peak in number of vessels and ton nage of oil produced, Brandt wrote. At that time there were 36 factories afloat, 14 land stations in opera tion and /353 catcher boats being used. They caught 45,679 whales, which were converted into 3,007,409 barrels of oiL Auto Parkers Deposit Foreign Coins In Meters COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.— Coins of many nations reach the desk of City Treasurer A.

Woman Tax Payer Is a Firm Believer in Federal Red Tape HARTFORD, CONN. — The Hart ford internal revenue office notified a woman that the amount withheld from her wages equalled exactly her 1947 income tax.

He had a little trouble ty ing his tie, so he dropped in at the corner saloon and asked the bar- keep which of the customers was good at tying a bow tie. "That fellow at the end of the bar there,” said the bar-keep with a laconic gesture. The politician approached the somber-looking gentleman desig nated. , "Would you mind tying this for me?” he asked, pulling his tie out of his pocket and slipping it under his collar. "Sure,” said the man, "but not that way. You'll have to lie down.” An explanatory comment cam* from another bar patron. "You see, he’s an undertaker,” he said. SOCIAL SECURITY JITTER JITTER.
