FOOD FOR THOUGHT
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER
Nutritionist for the State Board
of Health.
How Surplus Commodities Can
Supplement Our Other Foods

The typical Delaware diet has plen-
ty of vitamin G in the summer time,
but with the coming of winter the
amount used by many families de-
creases to a level too low to be safe.
Vitamin is essential for health
and vitality at all ages. II is neces-
sary for good teeth, healthy gums,
as well as resistance to certain types
of infection.
Prolonged lack of vitamin C. results
in the deficiency disease known as
scurvy. This disease used to be the
scOurge of sailing ships. Since most
of the good sources of vitamin C are
fresh and highly perishible foods, the
ordinary sailors diet was low in this
factor Sickness and resultant death
follow unrelieved scurvy.
English sea captains discovered that
scurvy could be prevented by a daily
ration of fresh lines, and so English
seamen came to be known as lin
eys". Some American captains forced
fresh onions upon their crews, even
at the point of a gun.
Tomatoes and the citrus fruits are
among the richest sources of vitamin
c. That housewife is fortunate who
faces the winter with plentiful sup
ply of canned tomatoes upon her
shelves. The grapefruit juice which
is being distributed by the Surplus
Corporation is another good source
of vitamin c.
Raw vegetables, except for toma-
toes, are richer in this vitamin than
cooked ones. The cooking loss is
minimized if the water is rapidly
boiling before the vegetables are ad-
ded. The action of boiling drives
out the dissolved air from the water,
and the air in the water increases
the loss.
The longer vegetables are cooked,
the greater the loss. The cook who
adds soda to keep the green color has
destroyed a considerable quantity of
the vitamin c.
Most mothers now realize the i'm
pOrtance of the babys dose of tomato
juice or oranges. Every member of
the family needs daily quota of Wit
amin c as much as the baby. Vege-
tables and fresh fruits used gener-
ously every day with either tomatoes
or citrus fruits three or four times
a week will insure plenty of this
important vitamin.

NEW MEANING FOR OLD TUNE

"............... in my merry
Oldsmobile."
Gus Edwards famous song of 1905
seems to have taken on a new mean
ing these days. with the intrOduc-
tion to the motoring public of a
clutchless automobile that shifts in
to four speeds automatically.
Oldsmobile and General Motors
engineers. after years of intensive
research on transmissions which has
made possible the familiar fluid
drives found on many modern busses,
have combined this principle with a
perfected fully-autOmatic transmits
sion to give simplified car control.
greater performance and better eco
nomy of operation.
1t is reassuring to have such 4
development come from an organi-
Zation that has spent nearly 43 years
in the automobile business. II re-
calls the pioneering spirit that gave
r. E. Olds confidence when building
his first car in 1897, and the genius
that inspired the famous 1902 curved
dash Oldsmobile runaDout with its
interchangeable parts. That same pi-
Oneering continues today, bringing
forth this new development which
some already are terming the most
outstanding contribution to the au-
tomotive industry since the advent
of the self-starter and four-wheel
brakes.
Another evidence that the world
is not finished" The frontiers of
America did not disappear with the
rowing herds of buffalo on the wes-
tern plains. The continuing achieve
ments of industrial research and en-
gineering should stir the imagina-
ton of the boys Of today who will be-
come the scientists and engineers of
tomorrow. The frontiers of the past
have been conquered; it remains for
the young men of today to find and
conquer the frontiers of the future.
