soon move to San Angelo, Mrs.
Tucker’s old home-town, where
they will engage in the ranching
business.
William F. Mickelson, an archi-
tect, of Kerrville, spent most of
last week in Washington working
with me in behalf of a crippled
children’s project at Kerrville.
,Ve are attempting to acquire
come land which the Veterans
Administration has declared to be
surplus to their needs at the
Legion VA Hospital. This would
be used as the site for a facility
for crippled children and is spon-
sored by all the Lions Clubs of
Texas.
Another visitor was my old
friend, P. O. Leatherwood, of
San Angelo, formerly of Lam-
pasas, who made his first visit to
Washington. While here he vis-
ited his son, Reginald, who is
an accountant with the Depart-
ment of the Army.
Other recent visitors were Mrs,
Lilly Gresham, of San Angelo,
who spent a month on the Pot-
omas visiting her daughter who
is in Government work here; Hal
Cunningham, now living in
Washington but formerly of
Boerne; and Joe Swanner of
Brownwood, a recent graduate
of Howard-Payne College. -

Today meat provides one-third
of the food energy in the Amer-
ican diet, and latest US Depart-
ment of Agriculture figures show
that almost one-third of the
farmer’s total cash income in
1948 came from the sale of meat
animals. Aware of the vital
contribution livestock makes to
the nation’s health and economy,
Texas boys and girls enrolled in
the 1949 National 4-H Meat An-
imal Program learn to select,
feed and show their beef cattle,
sheep or pigs. More than 300,-
000 4-H Club members through-
out the country are taking part
in the project, according to the
National Committee on Boys and
Girls Club Work.
Some of the highlights of the
progrram are keeping records of
feeding and weight gains and
learning the value of balanced
rations. Many , of the young
stockmen grow their own feed.
Members practice livestock judg-
ing at club meetings, and then
try out for county and state
judging teams. They take great
pride, too, in showing their an-
imals. The Cooperative Exten-
sion Service directs the activity.
In addition to being education-
al and profitable, the program
offers awards, for outstanding
accomplishments. Thos. E. Wil-
son, chairman of the National
Committee, and a Veteran Chica-
go meat packer, has provided a-
wards for the last 20 years.
There are medals for county win-
ners; a 17-jewel gold watch for
state champion; trips to the Nat-
ional 4-H Club Congress for eight
sectional winners, and four $300
national scholarships.
Harry Schneider of Seguin
won Guadalupe County and state
honors in 1948. County medals
were also presented to 173 other
winners. Harry Schneider was
one of the national scholarship
winners.
