Vitamins A And d In The Winter Diet
The shortest days of the year are
here. Since September %, when days
and nights wer equal in length, the
days have gradually shortened, the
nights becoming correspondiGgly lon
ger. Not until March 81 will the days
again be as long as the nights. During
the days when the sun comes up late
and sets early there may be lack of
two vitamins in the diet. In wlntertime
the sunlight is less rich in ultraviolet
rays than in the summertime. These
rays are the ones that change a sub
stance in the skin into vitamin D.
| There also may be lack of vitamin
A. The summer season of warmth and
sunshine is gardening time. Then fresh
green and yellow vegetables are most
abundant, least expensive. If these

used so freely in the wintertime other
sources must be provided. Naturally
there should be constant y:ar-round
supply of these two nutrients, But if
you haven't thought of it for while
this midway mark in the season of
short days is good time to check
winter diets. ....a.~ -.
In childhood, vitamin A is necessary
for normal growth. Throughout life
we need vitamin A to keep the eyes,
the Innings of the ears, nose and throat
i'll normal condition. The amount of
vitamin A an adult needs depends up
on his weight. AS the amount of food
he needs also depends upon h" weight
he may be reasonably sure C; securing
enough vitamin A if he eats a we'll
balanced diet. Because children are
growing, they should get as much or
more of vitamin A than the Adult al
though they are smaller. Egg yolk,
cam, DuCISA1 ShSCoC, ANSA1 oiAN AASAA
oils are excellent sources Of vItamin
A. Vegetables and fruits contain sub
stances that the body makes over into
this vitamin. These excellent sources
are the green vegetables such as spin
ach, lettuce and broccoli. Other excel
lent sources are carrots, sweet pota-
toes, yellow squash, red tomatoes and
peppers. Apricots, prunes and yellow
peaches are excellent sources even
when they are dried.
In ordinarl cooking, no large
amounts of vitamin A are lost. Canned
fruits and vegetables may be safely
used in place of the fresh ones when
these cannot be obtained.
By making use of the sources of
vitamins A and D mentioned above,
you should be able to supply these
family needs adequately in the diet.
OF course, with the exception of SUM-
shine for vitamin D the best and most
economical way to get either one is by
eating foods that contain them.

THE NEW YEAR BEGINS

The American people are entering
the New Year in far, different mood
than the one which enveloped them
twelve months ago. Then we were ap-
parently prosperous and attpeace' with
the world. Corporations We're vying
with one another in granting extra
dividends and bonuses. Unemployment
seemed to be steadily decreasing just
as business was continually climbing,
There seemed no reason TO feel we
were in danger of becoming; involved
in a critical way with any foreign pow
er. Politically we seemed to have en-
tered another era of good feeling.
But the unfolding of the year 1887
brought decided change. Labor trou-
bles followed on another in rapid sue
cession, taxes mounted and business
instead of continuing to climb, began
to level off and then to start decline.
The stock market, hesitated, halted
and then put on one of the sharpest
and severest decline in the history of
the exchange. 49,.
The sudden attack of Japan on Chi
ma and the resultant bombing of
American ships, and the sinking of a
gunboat with loss of life, brought US
into the midst of an international
crisis which has not yet been solved.
The political era of good feeling was
disrupted by the long fight in Con-
gress over the proposal of the Presi-
dent to make over the Supreme Court.
Following this came the special ses-
sion of Congress which failed to ac-
complish the work set out for it, and
resulted among other things, in the
emasculation and defeat of the Pres
ident's pet wages and hours bill.
At the beginning of 1888, therefore,
the American people are confronted
with an entirely different set of prob
lens than the one they had 20 face at
the beginning of 1887. tits admitted
that we are in a business recession.
Just what that means nobody at this
moment can tell. Everyone hopes that
the recession will be short lived and
that we will soon again take up the
march toward normally, just as he
fervently expresses the wish that our
foreign troubles can be settled honor
ably and peacefully.
This is no time for gloom spreading
Already there are signs of returning
sanity in the solution of mary of our
economic difficulties-signs that the
days of roseate experimentation are
about over and sooner than anticipated
we will get back on solid ground again.
In all efforts to end the recession and
solve our foreign problems in ar
American way, the administration
will, of course, have the support OF
the American people. But the period of
blind following in domestic economic
and social experimentation seems to
be about ended. This is one of the
hopeful signs for the beginning of
1888.

NO ANSWER FROM
 BRASS COUNSELOR
CIO Organizer Accuses Company of Sailing;
 Both Factions Convene

No new developments were eyi- dent today in regard to the present situation existing between the Wa terbury Brass Workers union rep- resentatives and the American Brass Co.,. Attorney William Larkin, who represented the company at the con- ference ct the Elton yesterday, pre- sided over by Frederic Cromwell of the National Labor Relations Board, was not in town today and as Q re- suit there was no answering state- ment from the company's represen. tatiVe to the accusations of Alex Cashin, local CIo organizer, that the brass company was "stalling" and would probably not agree to Q NLRB election until ordered to do 50 by the board.
 Following yesterdays conference, attended by Attorney Larkin and by Philip Brainard, Alex Cashin and John J. Driscoll of the local CIO union, Q statement was issued by MT. Cashin, which he reiterated this morning, that the local brass com pany was attempting to stall aS much as possible and was deter mined to thwart the will of its em- ployes."
 The union and company repre- sentatives first conferred on the matter of c NLRB election about Q month ago, ct which time attempts were made to arrange for c "con- sent" election. It was evident for Q time that the company was will- Ing to hold an election to determine whether or not the ClO union or the independent" union at the lo- cal plants would be the bargaining agency for it's employees but since then complications in the negotia- tions have arisen. These have been brought to e head by MT. Cashin'S statement that the company is at. tempting to avoid the "consent" election and wait until the National Labor Relations Board orders one. This usually involves Q considerable amount of time.

 Lombard Salad Coming Up!
of patroniSing the cafeteria serv-

of patroniSing the cafeteria serv- Ice usually provided by the school. The school dietitian has the prob- lem of providing healthful foods at low prices and failure to pa- tronize her well chosen food may cause @ deficit in the school budget, Miss Nickerson pointed out, speaking in this weeks health department broadcast. The dieti- tan knows she must provide milk or some hot drink made with milk, some main nourlshing dish either hot or cold, according to the weather, bread, rolls or sand- wicheS and A light dessert or fruit. Hot soups often form the main dish, since many students bring sandwiches from home and soup makes Q good supplement.
 School Menus
 More vegetables and salads are finding Q permanent place on school menus, but 1t is Q proh- lem to present them in appetiz- ing form, even disguised in char acter to command ready accept- ance, and the school cafeteria runs on such c close financial margin that 1t cannot afford to experiment and run the, risk of food not being purchased. Miss Nickerson suggested such appeal- ing names for the dishes as the "DizZie Dean blue plate" or the "Carl Hubbell," and for the girls the "Carol Lombard salad" or the Robert Taylor dessert.
 There is Q tendency, Miss Nick erson said, to make She school lunch an integral part of the health program in the school. The dietitian should take active part in this and lead the way to 0 critical study of what constitutes e good lunch, not from the stand point of taste alone but of see lecting c balanced meal. In some schools, the Grade A Lunch Pro- ject" has been tried out. With free choice of selection, trays are marked according to standards and in the health discussions la- ter the result of such e study are used to point the way to Q better selection of foods to promote health,
