MEATLESS DINNERS
GROWING POPULARITY BUTCHERS EXPRESS ALARM [BY TELEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT] WANGANUI, Thursday The growing popularity of meatless dinners was Viewed with alarm by the New Zealand Master Butchers' Association conference. The association decided to refer to the executive the question of instituting a publicity campaign with a view to counteracting propaganda advocasting meatless dinners.
The association approved a remit urging that all butchers' awards bo framed in future to include a clause prohibiting female labour with the exception of female clerks and cashiers. The Minister of Industries and Commerce, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, is to be asked to prohibit the branding of cattle with tar , and for firebrands to be used on any part of the beast other than the neck. A further decision was that the Government be asked to treat the Slaughter of Stock and Inspection of Meat Bill as urgent, especially because of the danger to public health as the result of the low value of secondgrade mutton inducing the retailing to the public of facial eczema-diseased meat, which is not killed in registered slaughterhouses and abattoirs.
