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

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.
She was advised in an official no
tification that she owed the govern
ment nothing.
Right back came a check from
the woman. On the line reserved for
the amount was written the word
none.

Some Undertaking
A west side politician got his
first dinner coat in time for a
dressy function to which he was in
vited. 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.

Needs The Proof
Curtis goes to a state, noted foi
fishing, once a year on a fishing
trip. The last time he was up there
the fish were biting so good that
he couldn’t s stop when he had
caught the limit
A deputy game warden caught
him with the goods and brought
him into court.
"You are charged with v having
caught 18 more black bass than
the law allows. Are you guilty or
not guilty?” the judge asked.
"Well, I’m guilty,” Curtis had to
admit
"Ten dollars and costs/* .
Curtis paid the fine and then
asked the judge: "And now. Your
Honor, may I have several type
written copies of the court record
made to take back and show to my
friends?” n
Hold That Tiger!
"When I was in India,” said the
club bore, "I saw a tiger come
down to the water where some
women were washing clothes. It
was a very fierce tiger, but one
woman, with great presence of
mind splashed some water in its
face—and it slunk away.”
"Gentlemen,” said a man in as
armchair, "I can vouch for the
truth of this story. Some minutes
after this incident I was coming
down to the water, I met this tiger,
and, as is my habit, stroked its
whiskers. Gentlemen, those whis
kers were wet”
