NEW REFRIGERATION GETS
AMAZING RESULTS SAYS
QUITMAN STEED

With one of the new Air-con-
ditioned Ice Refrigerators, Mrs.
Housewife need have no fear
THAT cream or cheese will develop
an off flavor while chilling.
Odors in this modern refriger-
ator are carried away by the cir
culating air and absorbed by the
film of water on the melting ice.
Thus, the air in the ice box is al
ways fresh, and just the right
humidity-not too dry and not
too moist.
Mrs. Housewife is careful to
serve her family balanced meals
milk, fresh vegetables, fruits,
and everything down to the most
recent proved-to-be essential VI
tamins. The best Of foods, how
ever, may easily become unsafe
for use with improper care and
lose many Of the health giving
vitamins. The old makeshift meth
DDS Of refrigeration have no
scheme in things today.
Quitman Steed, Manager OF
Southern United Ice Co. says
|"It's really very easy and mex
pensive to provide completely
sanitary, satisfactory storage OF
food sail year round. The mod
lern ice refrigerator is quite mex
penslve to purchase and it uses
so little ice that one servicing
lasts from 4 to 7 days. Besides, it
provides ideal conditions for safe
food preservation-a constant
constant circulation of clean-wash
ed air which is not only cold, but
also properly moist. There are

Child Health Day
Observed May |

Anticipating Child Health Day,
May l, the needs of the child for
proper growth and development
were outlined by Miss Mary ID.
Osborne, Maternal and Child
Health Supervisor for the State
Board of Health, in the first of a
series Of talks observing this
event.
|, Plans for the celebration of
Child Health Day have gone stead
lily forward since the latter part
|of March, when Governor Hugh
White called together a commit
ee from civic, social and religious
leaders throughout the State and
appointed DR.. Felix j. Underwood
Executive Officer of the State
Board of Health, as Chairman.
, With Health protection for
every child" its slogan, this
cooperative group aims to pro-
mote the extension of year-round
child health services in every com
|munity through many methods
including proper prenatal, natal,
and pOstnatal care of babies and
their mothers; education and
training of parents in child care I;
provision of adequate Fairgrounds
and other recreational facilities
encouragement in the schools of
y~ear-round health teaching; and
provision of a wholesome environ
ment with adequate moral and
religious instruction and train
ing.
In her talk, Miss Osborne
emphasized this purpose of the
committee and pointed out that
while May Day, with it's spring
freshness, is the propitious time
to dedicate to the health of little
children, yet Child Health Day
to be effective must be Every
Day.
Recalled was the Child's Bill
of Rights, the ideals of which are
that there shall be no child in
America who is not born under
proper conditions; who does no,
live in hygienic surroundings
who ever suffers from under
punishment; who does not have
prompt and efficient medical at.
tention and inspection who does
not receive primary instruction in
the elements of hygine and gooo
health; who has not the birth.
right Of a sound mind in a sounC
body who has not the encourage.
ment to express in the fullest
measure the spirit within which
is the final endowment of every
human being.
T. The second in the series of talks
on Child Health will be given by
DR.. j. A. Milne, April "a, while
Governor White and DR.. Felix j.
Underwood will bring to it's eli
max this series on May 1, Child

 Though subpoenaed to appear in court yesterday, Mrs. Maloney failed to show up and Heeber was kept away from his "hell driving" for an- other day.
