construction here has hired 60 per cent of the avail able masons in this area there enough bricklayers to go to work on Las much needed new school facilities The Las Vegas Review Journal said recently that an appeal would be made to the Nevada Tax Commission in an effort to break the virtual monopoly It was felt that the state gaming license agency which must con sider the Stardust for a gaming license soon might prevail on Tony Comero the Stardust pro prietor to release some of the bricklayers for work on school projects Awaiting masons are 204 classrooms in ten new schools it was noted The Stardust is paying above scale wages to workmen and there was a possi bility that some of the masonry contractors in this area would have to go out of business be cause of inability to hire skilled

Protested PSC Will Conduct Hearing on Tuesday HAWTHORNE May Pub lic Service Commission members will heai protests Tuesday in the proposed 10 per cent consumer rate increases sought by the Mineral

Harry Cook commanding officer at NAAS The multi million dollar improvement program an ticipated for many months is now a definite fact Cmdr Cook pointed out with bids for base improvements tb be let May 18 Work will begin simultaneously on the Air orce radar station and Navy housing project he said But more interesting is the possible future development of the base Cmdr Cook said that Navy officials in Washington are planning to activate a completely new NAS or Naval Air Station on the coast in the near fu ture perhaps in 1956 There is good reason to be lieve that the allon base desig nated now as an auxiliary air station can be raised in status to become the location for the air station these officials are planning Such a jump in status would mean that four air groups would be stationed here continuously (as compared with the single group now provided for) and that $20000000 to $25000000 would be expended in the expan sion program There is every reason to jus tify the promotion of NAAS to a full fledged NAS Cmdr Cook emphasized flying weather is better than at any other location on the coast Moreover new type supersonic planes will make it possible to reach the ocean in just 15 min utes after leaving the ground here making inland dis tance a negligible factor Tonopah Schools Need More Space Purchase of 40 Acres Of Land Considered TONOPAH May 7 (Special) irm

MISS GERTRUDE HAYES HOME AGENT IN WASHOE COUNTY THE DEMONSTRATIONS WILL CONDUCE! Economy cuts con be as tasty and nutritious as the higher priced cuts" Miss Hayes ex plains "About 35 pounds out of the total carcass are the Porterhouse bone and club steaks We must consume all the beef to get meat at a reasonable price The economy cuts can be prepared in a way to make them just as nutritious in your fare" This series of demonstrations are sponsored by a local committee Mrs Rodrigue chairman Mrs Anderson Mrs A Nelson Mrs A Caprio Mrs Howard arris Mrs John Clark Mrs red Dressier Helen Judd Mrs Phil Arden MEAT AT SIX WEEKS AGE Many changes have taken place in nutrition findings in the past 25 years This is especially true with regard to feeding babies Years ago fneat was not usually recommended for babies until they were in the second year History was made in infant feeding when a resarch worker con ducted a study in feeding strained meat to infants in addition to their usual formulas Her work showed that babies could be fed meat as early as six weeks of age Moreover the meat fed babies had less anemia were more contented did not have os many colds slept better and were superior in other respects to babies not re ceiving meat Today special meats are available for babies and the former idea of restricting meat to babies until a year or more old has' been discarded AN INTERESTING COOKING TEST Experiments are interesting More than that they 'are of much value in establishing all important facts Let's take the case of a beef cookery test for example In this test two rib roasts of beef each weighing 24 pounds were cooked to the same degree of doneness One was cooked however at a high temperature of 450 degrees ahrenheit and the other at a low temperature of 250 degrees ahrenheit After cooking both roasts were re weighed The weight differences were striking The roast cooked at the high temperature showed a cooking loss of 29 percent The roast cooked at the low tempera ture showed a loss of only 98 percent In other words there was a saving of 1 912 percent in the case of the roast cooked at low heat That was not the only advantage however It was found that the roast cooked at low heat was more tender juicier more attractive in appearance and tasted better than the one cooked at the high er temperature MEAT OR OLDER PERSONS There has been an altogether too prevalent idea that when persons reach the upper age bracket they should taper down on meat In fact many have advocated a sort of "tea anef toast" diet for these oldsters Research however has disproved that idea It is now recognized that older persons should have plentiful amounts of such high protein food as meat especially to help keep up the work of body repair Nutritionists at one of our eastern colleges studied older persons who were divided into two groups Each group was given a diet which included meat as well as other common foods The were planned so that on paper at least they were of about the same nutritive value One group however was given meat twice per week while the other received meat ten times weekly At the end of the project it was found that those on the high meat diet were superior in medical rating This group had better blood and bone conditions were more resistant to fatigue and better in other comparisons Meat had made the difference SELECTION AN IMPORTANT TASK Beef provides greater variety and more in price range than does any other food A knowledge of the countless opportunities in buy ing beef is a distinct advantage to the homemaker for it assures varied and interesting menus It would be time well spent if every homemaker could make a special effort to become acquainted with beef cuts learn how to recognize these cuts know how to pre pare them correctly With such information she can buy meat wisely and be in a better position to save money on food bills MEAT OR BLOOD REGENERATION Intensive stftdies carried on at one of our leading universities hove revealed the superior proper ties of meat protein for blood regeneration It was also revealed that this meat protein in the blood helps greatly in building what are termed "anti bodies" which help to ward off body infections This Advertisement Sponsored by Reno Evening Gazette and Nevada State Journal.
