...meat has been held up by a truck shortage in Midwestern beef states like Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota. In Detroit, Frederick & Herrud, a meat processor, was forced to shut down its hog-slaughtering facility and lay off 900 workers because no hogs were arriving. Normally the plant butchers 16,000 hogs a week. Other meat-plant workers were laid off in Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma...
...dull their hunger, cold and weariness. (When Georgia Pharmacist John Styth Pemberton invented Coca-Cola, he included small amounts of cocaine to "cure your headache" and "relieve fatigue," but the drug was eliminated from the syrup shortly after 1900.) Colombia's role in the coke trade is middleman and processor.

In a final stage, this base is crystallized into...
Composers Balz Trümpy and York Holler, whose works followed, were in roughly the position of the actors in that children's play.

A citizen of Redford Township for 16 years, and now unemployed as a data processor because of a back injury, Westberg called the proceedings foul. The American Civil Liberties Union agreed, and last week it went to court to ask for a new trial on the ground that the town ordinance is so broad that it violates the First Amendment. As for the sensitive Scherrers...
...which also is a major aerospace manufacturer and food processor, is keeping quiet about its postmerger plans, at least until after shareholders of both companies vote in late August or early September to approve the linkup. All LTV has said is that it will not close Youngstown's Indiana Harbor mill, near Chicago, which could feed raw steel to Jones & Laughlin's Hennepin, Ill., processing plant and give the enlarged combine a fully integrated facility in the Middle West. While the two companies are complementary in some ways, they also have redundancies. LTV has promised that the merger...
