Your HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Studies of the diets in this
country indicate that there is a
decreasing use of cereals con-
tanning the whole grain and a
steady rise in the consumption
of cane sugar.
The more refined white flour
has steadily gained in popularity
because of its many advantages,
particularly its stability in COM
merce as contrasted with the
whole wheat flour. A similar at
titude exists in the Far East in
relationship to polished rice
which is not as good a food as
the unidentified rice.
The protective foods in our
diets include milk, green vege-
tables and fruits. Milk and the
green vegetables are excellent
sources of calcium and vitamin
c, but they do not rate high in
their content of vitamin 81.
If we continue to use wheat
and sugar in the amounts that
we use now, it would be neces-
sary for the average adult to
eat impossible quantities of
these protective foods to get
sufficient amount of vitamin B1.
When people eat quantities of
food which contain plenty of
vitamin B1, they do not need
to worry about a shortage. II
people ate plenty of other seeds
besides those of the cereal plants
notably nuts and such seeds
as beans and peas-they would
increase their vitamin 81 sup
ply.
Vitamin B1 is a water-soluble
vitamin. When beans and peas
are cooked. much of the vitamin
may be dissolved in the water.
When the water is discarded, the
vitamin B1 is lost.
The southern Negroes diet,
which includes plenty of whole
cornmeal and pork and sweet po-
tatoes, supplies more vitamin 81
than that of the average person
who eats more fancy foods.
Experts in the field of food
have given consideration to
measures which might be taken
to increase the vitsmin B1 in
our diets. II is possible to en-
courage the use of unidentified
cereal products. such as whole
wheat and the middlings. How
ever, only a small fraction Of
our population seems to respond
to educational efforts emphasiz-
ing the high value Of vitamin 81
in unidentified cereals.
For that reason many Of the
leading millers in our country
today are working on techniques
for improving white flour by
the addition of vitsmin B1-
In adding vitamin b. to flour
it is not proposed TO make ordi-
nary -four serve as a drug but
merely to restore to the flour
enough Of the vitamin so that
il would compare fsvorably in
its content with the whole wheat.

Liquor Store Clerks and
School Teachers
Education Group Makes
Comparison of Status
Oregon Teachers Adopt
Tax Boosting Report
And That Would Be Simple
II Were All
MEMBERS of the Oregon
4fl State Teachers association
meeting In Portland, and the
Washington Education sssocia-
ton meeting in Seattle, think
school teachers ought to receive
bigger salaries. One of the
speakers at the Washington
meeting lamented that some
school teachers are working for
less than some Of the clerks in
the state liquor stores. The
comparison was made on the
assumption that it doesn't re-
quire any particular ability to be
clerk in a liquor store.
Oregon teachers didn't COM
pare their salaries with those
of the clerks in liquor stores
but let it be known that they
are too low for the service
given. AS a remedy for that
situation they adopted a report
of committee recommending
more taxes for school support.
The report also included a
recommendation for a coali-
ton with farmers and other
groups to broaden the base
of school support" They
propose additional taxes on
beauty treatments, per-
fumes, cosmetics, candies,
soft drinks, theaters, sport
ing events and tobacco
products. Another source of
increased revenue Is seen in
possible readjustment of
personal income taxes.
It's all as simple as that
just little more tax here and a
little more tax there. That is,
it would be simple if it were not
for the fact that those who
most loyalty support the public
school system and the inittu-
tons of higher learning are now
taxed to their wits ends.
The state of Washington set
the seal of official approval on
public school support when the
barefoot schoolboy law" was
passed during the administra-
ton of the Populist governor,
John r. Rogers, about As years
ago. From time to time other
laws were passed to meet
changing conditions. Always
the results were not as liberal
as the friends of public educa-
ton hoped. There never seemed
to be enough money to meet all
the requirements, a situation

also common among the most
liberal of the supporters of pub
lie education.
Lately there has developed
among the people who have
been footing the bills the
feeling that perhaps more
money Is not all the schools
need. They have wondered
II the whole system doesn't
need an overhauling.
Parents who have had a
struggle to keep children prop
erly clothed and provided with
equipment required for school
work. have wondered II the
schools haven't gone off hog
wild on athletics and in that
way increasing the cost of edu-
cation.
They have wondered, too. IL
some Of the educational leaders
and those who are directing
affairs in public schools and
colleges are not overlooking
some Of the essentials and put
ting too much Importance on
forms and systems and curves"
There Is the complaint
that too many high school

knowledge of English. Col
leges pay more attention to
meeting requirements for
certain degrees than to actu-
ally fitting the graduate TO
make a living. The folks
who pay the bills wonder
about that.
Maybe the schools do need
more money-what institution
or individual doesn't? And II
the need is established, it will
be met. But while the budget is
being boosted those who supply
the money will feel a lot better
if there is complete evidence
that the money is always being
used to the best advantage.
Not every person who wants
to stop, look and listen when
school groups put up the SOS
(save our schools) sign, is an
enemy of education. On the
contrary they are the people
who have put public education
where it is today. But as long
as they are paying the bills they
feel that they ought to have the
privilege of taking the machine
apart once in a while to see il
there are any worn or outmoded
! parts which should be replaced.
Those who pay the bills are
not always the only victims of
systems that take more than
they give. Sincere teachers
often are victims of inflexible
standards. They know they
won't work, but there often is
politics in education and it
doesn't get anywhere to "kick
against the prick" Those who
do, like the protesting OK men,
toned by the apostle, only get
a job.
