DOG RACING IN AUSTRALIA
NO MORE BEEF FOR GREYHOUNDS (Special Australian Correspondent.) (Received August 15, 1.35 a.m.) (N.Z.P.A.) SYDNEY, August 14. Australian greyhounds may have to sacrifice their beef ration for the war effort. Beef supplies must be carefully distributed to ensure adequate meat for tinning for the Allied forces in Australia. The racing greyhound for his size is the most voracious beef eater in the Commonwealth, according to a Commerce Department report. „ , , Because of the shortage of beef ana the surplus of mutton the Minister of Commerce (Mr W. J. Scully) '.s appealing to Australians to ‘‘eat mutton for victory.” Regulations to conserve beef supplies will be issued if the appeal does not have the desired effect. The feeding of beef to dogs will be banned. Beef, tinned and in concentrated form for iron rations, is the staple diet of the fighting forces, particularly the Americans, who have been unable to cultivate a palate for mutton.
