EL 4-8721 Ph. 7-1341 Here are some of the findings of the various research groups supported by the Meat Board. . At the University of Chicago, researchers found that meat pro tein was superior to other pro teins for regeneration of the blood. It was also found that this protein was valuable in the de velopment of what are termed “anti-bodies” which help to pre vent body infections. It was at the University of Nebraska that research men found that babies could be fed strained meat at six weeks with beneficial results. They said that the meat fed babies showed bet ter growth, had healthier blood condition, slept better, were more contented and had a general higher medical rating than other babies who did not have meat added to their feeding formulas. Penn State studies showed older persons receiving meat 10 times weekly in their diet showed less fatigue, had better blood con dition and were generally in bet ter health than another group on a similar,diet, but eating meat only twice weekly. To educate the public in the research being done, the Board, services 2,000 newspapers, 1,700 radio homemaker programs, 130 television home programs with material on meaVits uses and its value. In addition, cooking schools, exhibits, movies and demonstra tions sponsored by the Board are seen by millions of people year ly. One educational activity that has gained prominence since its 1927 beginning is meat judging contests by college judging teams. Live animal clinics for college students" and reciprocal meat con ferences for people in the fields of meat education and research. Filmstrips and textbooks on meat prepared by the Board are used in schools throughout the Umted States. I The homemaker comes in for a lot of attention by the Board.
