MEADOWSTOPS POSTMASTER'S ELIGIBLE LIST ?Continued from Page One tlons. While Mr. Meadows, a Demo crat, and Mr. Crawford and Mr. White, generally considered Re publicans, now constitute the eligib'e list, if one of those three should withdraw or be found ineligible for some fear son, the fourth would mgvg into the eligible list, under the Civil Service regulations; should he or another of the first three be eliminate^, voluntarily or otherwise, the fifth man would move into the eligible list; and so on. Under that regu'ation, it is nossible someone other than the th'-ee top men might be ap pointed, and there was consid erable discussion here this week of such a possibility. As the situation now stands, however, Mr. Meadows appears ?c have the inside track for the appointment, since he not only made the highest rating, but since the other two on the elig ible list are considered Repub licans, and it is unlikely that a Democratic administ-ation would appoint a Republican, if a Dem ocrat were eligible. T. W. Porter, former post master, retired last May 31, and Mr. Long has been acting post master since that time. The postmastership in Franklin pays approximately $4,000 a year.

Oceanographers of the Alba tross Ocean Bottom expedition, I headed by Professor Hans Pet terson of Sweden, have just re ported new facts about the At lantic Ocean ? that its age is about 500,000,000 years instead of a mere 70,000 000. ps had been previously supposed, that its bottom is lined with a layer of sediment 12,000 feet in thick ness, covering the bedrock be neath. Measurement of this sediment, which accumulates at the rate of one Inch in every 1 4,000 years, was the basis for the new estimate of the ocean. The thickness of the layer of sediment was measured by ex ploding depth charges and mea suring the time betwen two echoes ? the first which came from the top of the layer and the second from the bedrock.

Consumption Of Food Over Years Stable Per capita food consumption In the United States over the long term has shown an unusu ally high degree of stability, ir respective of the ups and downs of the economy. This factor of fundamental importance to American agriculture is reveal ed in a recent study of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture covering the 40-year period from 1909 through 1948. It is true that the quality of the food consumed may have improved over the years, and that the type and variety on the average American table today may be markedly different as wgll. However, the figures dc show that despite the great ex pansion in the economy in re cent years and the substantial growth in family income, Amer icans of this generation are eating little if any more on the average than did the preceding generation. One exception of this trend did develop during the recent war and postwar period. For the period from 1909 through the '30s, with all its economic ex tremes, average food consump tion per capita usually ran above 1,500 pounds annually, re tail weight. Yearly figures rang ed from a low of 1463 pound per capita in 1921 to a high -i 1,572 pounds per capita in 1900. However, a rise became aooa- - ent In 1941 when the previous high In 1909 was exceeded and for the next six years per capita food consumption consistently exceeded the 1,600-pound per person level annually. In 1946 a record high was established of 1,705 pounds consumed per capita. Last year, though, food con sumption had dropped back to 1,581 pounds per capita, a level virtually In line with prewar figures. Considering this and the widespread shortages of consumer goods that existed In the war and early postwar pe riod, Indications are that the record food consumption of the p?rlod was due more to the lack of normal outlets tor consumer spending than to any perma nent increase In the American appetite, Of courie, total agricultural While the long-term trend dt < per capita food consumption Is I relatively stable, fashions in i imp!#, Americana on tM aw use art no grttter meat eaters than thay were 40 year* ago, slit poultry has gained and egg ionsumptlon has increased about i. third. Per capita demand for grain products and potatoes has from the 1#0# l?v?l. tn contrast, ?narked gains have developed tn the use of citrus fruits and of vegetables, and in the consump tion of coffee, tea and cocoa. so you won't miss your paper ...
