Tenderness in Meat
May Be Inherited
There is some evidence from re
search with rabbits and in studies
of sheep and beef cattle that ten
derness in meat is an inherited
quality, according to the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture.
To produce more lean meat of,
good quality and tenderness, far
mers need a better understanding
of what makes tenderness and de
sirable flavor, says USDA research
scientists.
Enough research has been done
to show there is no direct relation
between tenderness in the meat and
outside fat. But tenderness and
flavor may be influenced by the
particles of fat within the meat
cells. It is also possible that there
may be a relationship between ten
derness and the size and elasticity
of different muscle fibers.

Zebulon Baptist 'Flock!
Looking for 'Shepherd'
The members of Zebulon Bap
tist church are still waiting—
waiting for the employment of a
pastor.
Officials of the pulpit commit
tee say they are still in the process
of interviewing and contacting
prospective ministers for the posi
tion. -
None of the committee could
give a definite date as to when a
pastor will be hired.
As one member of the pulpit
committee said: “When the pros
pective minister learns the salary
Raid a pastor of our church that’s
the deciding factor against.”
The salary paid the former pas
tor, the Rev. Beverly A. Asbury,
was $3,900.
Another pulpit committee mem
ber said: “It takes a man with a
lot of courage to accept this posi
tion with such an extensive and ex
pensive building program facing
him.”
At present the church has under
taken a building program that will
cost approximately $200,000.
The church is now being sup
plied by visiting ministers from
