Alfred Alibis Act

Seven carloads of Rodeo boosters
went to Walla Walla Monday night
to do little boosting for the event
at the ball game played under the
lights. The group paraded out on
the field with appropriate banners
and stunts and got a big kick from
the capacity audience. 'sMicky" Heb
erlein stopped a foul ball with her
head during the game, but without
serious: injury. President Alfred
Anon claims he would have caught
the ball If he'd been little more
accustomed to his bifocal glasses.

The camera used is a K3B Fair

CHANGE IN MENU
 AID TO HEALTH
Health Department Offers Suggestions on Benefi-
 cial Lenten Diet

Substitution of other proteins for meat on fast days and the voluntary elimination of sweets O. other ac- cessory foodstuffs during lent work no hardship on the individual but quite often react favorably on health, according to the weekly bul- letin of the State Department of Faith. An adjustment of the menu by the generous use of milk, cheese eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits is recommended.
 While the person who is not "ad- dicted" to milk may consider it as a beverage only and so poor sub stitute for meat, the bulletin states that milk not only provides the same high quality protein as meat but also adds to the calcium and phosphorus in the diet. Particular iy is an extra quantity of milk need ed when the meat substitution is peas or beans since the quality of their protein is not as high as In milk or meat. Cottage cheese and all other kinds of cheeses also pro- vide the health qualities of milk in concentrated form at extremely low cost.
 Since eggs are readily available at fairly low cost this time of the year. they have much to recom- mend them as meat substitutes, added the bulletin. While they can- not compete with milk as to call cium and phosphorus, the amount that egg yolks contain makes val- uable contribution to the diet. Eggs are superior to milk, however, in iron content, it was pointed out, 50 they become a worthy meat substi- ute in this regard and studies have shown that utilization of iron for blood regeneration is comparable in agg, muscle, liver or kidney. In addition, egg yolk also contains vtI amins of which it is richest in vit- amins A, D and c with a small amount of vitaniri B.
 It is further recommended that fresh vegetables and fruits be served each day since their color and flavor give zest to the appetite and will not add greatly to the food costs if sweets are sacrificed in their favor.

SEWER PROJECTS
 MAY BE HALTED
Controversy Over Delay in Payment of Assess
 ments Continues

Controversy over the bill which would extend payment of sewer as- sessments from 120 days to one year and reduce the assessment on jobs where WPA labor was used con- tinued today.
 While engineers and the public works board foresaw cessation of all sewer laying in Waterbury with CO., incident laying oil of most of the approximately 1,700 men assigned to this work on WPA payrolls, Senator George T. Culhane, sponsor of the bill for an East End group, claimed that the government is providing most of the money for the jobs, in reference.
 He claimed that the city is pay ing "only 20 per cent" but that the property owners are charged reg ular assessment of $2.5O a front foot on both sides of the street, making it cost $5 a front foot. The board of aldermen receive statistics from the engineering department last month purporting to sho wthat the cost of sewer laying to the city averaged better than $4.77 a foot. but this consideration was not mentioned by the bills sponsor.
 Threat of Controller Sherwood l.. Rowland to refuse payment of vouchers unless the revolving sewer funds condition is improved by as- sessment receipts will mean that all sewer work must be halted once the bill is reported favorably, as some expect it will be. The ultimate of this will mean that potential l. 800 heads of families will be thrown back on the city relief rolls, already at peak for several years, and early exhaustion of the $l75, ,000 fund set up by the finance board for re- lief reserve.

Approval of an East End Com munity club plea for the erection of a gymnasium in the Anderson school was shown by members Of the board of education at meet ing yesterday afternoon. Delegates William Cavanaugh, Albert Schia- vone, and Adolph Raymond, repre- senting the club, said that they re- alized that provision for the pro- posed gymnasium could not be made this year as the budget IS ;,lS ready drawn up, but asked that such provision be made when next years budget is framed. On mo- tion of Commissioner Louis E.. Bria, the board, after considerable discussion, voted to ask he finance committee to set up an appropria- ton for the gymnasium when fram- ing the budget for next year. The board voted, however, to have the appropriation dependent on favor- able report of a WPA commission delegated to estimate the cost of the gymnasium.
