Texbrite newsprint trial linked to four color run
Our Daily Bread notes that most pages use a higher grade Texbrite newsprint from Southland Paper Mills. Four Texbrite rolls were purchased in June 1969 for a potential four color run, with two rolls used this Thursday and Friday. Texbrite costs a premium over Standard, but current prices for Standard are higher than the 1969 Texbrite premium. The test aims to gauge performance and future reuse.

Meat supply crisis deepens as plants close and theft limits rise
An independent Illinois meat plant closed to avoid selling black market beef and Safeway warns the crisis worsens as beef displays shrink nationwide. The American Meat Institute tallies 75 000 cattle slaughtered Monday, down 37 percent from last year, while border shoppers bring back Canadian meat amid rising prices. Canada imposes duty on beef above 35 pounds, and cross border surveys show price hikes in Winnipeg Vancouver and Montreal. Officials say Sept 12 price ceiling removal looms, with Knauer noting potential stabilization after bumper harvests. Detroit area meat dealers report at least 50 specialty stores closed, and large chains say they receive most of their beef from packers.
