NEW ENGLAND IS
 THREATENED BY
 DEARTH OF RAIN
Serious Drought Hits All CrOps--FOur States Are
 Badly Affected

Boston, Aug. 20-(UP)--Danger of serious drought spread over New England today as soaring sun which has blazed almost daily for two months threatened crop losses of thousands of dollars. Southern Main, eastern Massachu- setts and parts of Rhode Island and Connecticut have been the most seriously affected by an al- most total lack of precipitation since June 20, and other sections of New England have been parched to 8 lesser extent. Staples such as corn, tomatoes, summer squash, potatoes, cucumbers, beets, radish- es, peas and spinach were willing The potato crop in AroostooK county, in far northern Maine, also has been threatened and central Massa chusetts pastures have been burned brown.
 Dairy Farmers In Danger
 It was feared that lack of rain would result in hardship to dairy farmers who afced the necessity of purchasing feed for cattle deprived of grazing grasses. Reports re- vealed that in some sections of Massachusetts hopes for second cuttings of hay have been cirtually abandoned. To date, only .35 of an inch of rain has fallen during August when the normal precipita- ton is 3.62 inches. Conditions have been almost normal in western Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire, though flower gardens and lawns have suffered in these areas. Fishing in Maine, except from boats, has been banned by Governor Louis J. Brann because of the forest fire hazard. Brann also forbade smoking and making of campfires in woods.

ing, and plans for injunction pro- cecdings to keep police from re. moving the devices have appar- ently been dropped. Today's sur vey showed that scores of machines have already been removed, that others were to be taken out tonight and tomorrow. The only ones left. after tomorrow, apparently, will be those from which the score cards have been removed, owners hoping thus to evade the law by not offering prizes or free plays.
 Police Supt. Joseph. H. Mclean was non-committal today on plans for the removal of machines by the police department. It is believed that authorities are giving owners of the machines 8 few days of grace to take them out of play, but will then swing into action, conf1s-

eating the machines and arresting the owners of establishments in in which they are found.
 The machines were outlawed last week when Judge Edward Mascolo in city court decision held that machines were operated in viola- ton of the state gambling statutes when prizes or free plays were given as rewards for high scores. The judge fined a restaurant owner in whose place machine was found $25 and costs.
 The number of machines in Wa. terbury grew to several hundred during the past year. Many of them were licensed by the police department under an ordinance covering vending machines.

We generally take it that the British
Parliament is the very home of parliament
tary dignity. Other nations, including our
own, may send sons of the wild iackass to
represent them at their capitol; Britain has
an old tradition under which statesmen,
not politicians are elected. and the House
of Commons does not witness those wild
and uncouth scenes which make exciting
reading in other seats Of government.
This conception. however. Is rudely up
set by a reading of the recent furry which
took place in the House of Commons when
a Labor member rose TO relieve his mind
on the subject of Prime Minister MacDon-
aid. Here are some of the things the man
said:
"He il a m~ountebank. He should be
flung and horsewhipped from public life.
He would double-cross his own aunt. He
attained power on the pennies and half
pennies of the people and now he is rob-
bing them. When he dies, he will be ours
ed by millions"
Undignified and ill-considered as some Of
our own congressional outbursts may be, it
is a long time since any congressman has
attacked the head Of his government in
terms as wild as these.

People on relief are getting a better selection Of
the right kinds OF food for their health than are
many OF us who are free TO make up our own diets.
The baskets OF food distributed TO the poor each
month generally contain not only the essential food
requirements IN the way OF proteins, carbohydrates,
fats. mineral salts, and vitamins, but they also meet
the varying appetites OF the different races or groups
OF people.
Yet a study OF food consumed IN restaurants shows
that people buy less of meat potatoes, and heavy
foods, ana more Of desserts.
Not only do people Oh relief Get a more wholesome
selection Of food, but they get II according to their
tastes. Furthermore, the mother in each family is
urged TO get as much extra fruit, vegetables, eggs and
milk As she can.
These are necessary for growth ana repair d it's
sue, besides providing energy necessary TO keep the
body at work.
III Illinois the relief commission has developed four
standard dietaries planned for seven IN each fam
ily. These are divided into general, southern, Italian,
and Jewish olaSSifications.
"A certain amount Of spaghetti i included IN the
dietary for each group, but macaroni appears only
In the Italian and general diets. and is eliminated
from the southern and Jewish diets. The Italian
group also Is allowed much more macaroni- as well
as vermiceli-
The general, southern, and Jewish diets include
two pounds OF spaghetti a month whereas the Italian
list includes ID pounds Of spaghetti a month
The general diet provides quantities Of navy beans,
which do not appear in the southern diet. The
Jewish list eliminates pork and beans, but does have
a good allowance OF lima beans. Moreover. the Jew
ish diet list includes four cans Of Sardines, to three
in the Italian list, and two in the southern list.
In contrast to these allowances, the southern list
includes four pounds Of salt pork. Salt pork does
not appear al all on any Of the other diet lists.
Benefit TO our nutrition comes not from the foods
that are listed or prescribed, or even what is in
Guided IN the basket delivered at the door, but from
what j. actually eaten. Money spent for food that Is
not eaten Is, OF course, wasted.
For this reason, it Is necessary TO consider the ap-
petites OF those to whom the food is served.

CALIFORNIA SELLS ORANGES

Yes, California sells oranges, and one Of
the reasons for the sale of California
oranges lies on our desk as we write these
lines-a most attractively gotten up broad
side in three colors, printed on expensive
book paper and addressed to the trade of
the United States. Reprinted in this
broadside are the advertisements that are
being spread the country over, crying out
the fame Of Sunkist oranges, and calling
on people OF the nation 10 eat Sunkist
oranges for food and for health.
On the inside first cover page we find
these captions:
"Sl MILLION Magazine Advertisements.
"16 MILLION Daily Car Card Adver-
tiSements.
~ MILLION Daily Outdoor Audience
Powerful Advertising to Sell More
SUNKIST Seedless Navel Oranges"
And BY further perusal we find that
this season az l9Sl-19S5 will bring the
total Sunkist advertising expenditure we'll
past the sci, 600, 900 mark.
We look the broadside over and find
most attractive reproductions Of Sunkist
newspaper and magazine advertisements,
pictures Of attractive reproductions OF
Sunkist newspaper and magazine adver-
tisements, pictures Of attractive Sunkist
billboards, reprints Of attractive Sunkist
dealer window displays and cuts for in
sertion in retail newspaper advertisements
of grocery stores.
We find all sorts Of dealer helps out
lined. for iobber. retailer and wholesaler
alike. We find suggestion after sugges-
ton for increasing sales of Sunkist oranges,
sales arguments and hints without end.
We even see reproduced a window Of a
Houston, Texas, grocery store, in which
Sunkist Red Ball oranges are the object
Of resistance, which window sold 20 box
es of Red Ball oranges in . days, right
under the very nose Of Rio Grande Valley
orange competition.
And then we start to wondering what
our Valley shippers and growers can be
thinking Off they really believe they
can build up the citrus fruit industry Of
the Valley in face of competition like this
We wonder if they realize that after all,
it's the retailer and the iobber who push
the sales Of any commodity, and that if
the retailer and the iobber are given
proper help, sales follow.
Further do sc wonder how many OF our
Valley shippers and growers are familiar
with the procedure Of their competitors,
