Churches To Support
 Catholic University
Collection Sunday to Be Donated By Bishop to Further Program of Educational Institution at Washington

Generous contributions to the aE1- nual collection for the Catholic Uni- versity of America, which will be taken up in Catholic churches of Connecticut Sunday, were urged to- day by Most Reverend Maurice E. McAuliffe, bishop of Hartford. In a letter to all pastors in the diocese, the bishop praised the work of the university.
 Last June special financial drive for the university was held, and Connecticut Catholics contributed over $10O0OO. This was regarded as one of the best totals reported by any diocese in the country.
 The Catholic Transcript states to- day that the university,s indebted ness is now $1,5O0,OOO. Clearance of this obligation would free funds which now must be paid in principal and interest, and allow the further expansion of the university, which is located at Washington, D. c.
 Bishop McAuliffe's letter on the collection for Catholic University is as follows:
 EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE
 14O Pennington Avenue,
 Hartford, Connecticut
 Dear Father:
 The annual collection for the Catholic University of America will be taken up in all the parish churches of the diocese, Sunday, December l. This collection is in obedience to the Holy Fathers commission that the university in- crease and intensity its efforts to train leaders for the church in America. For fifty years it has served the church faithfully and generously. Its fruits are in evil dence On all sides.
 Its ambition is to render greater service as the center of Catholic thought in America. During the past year its expansion in the fields of sacred and social sciences has been notable and reasSuring. It is prepared to study and solve the problems of modern life.
 The Catholic University is train ing leaders for our colleges, schools and institutions of social welfare. Every year priests, sisters, laymen and women leave its halls to labor for Christ and the church in all sections of the country. Its in- fiuence reaches the student in col lege, the child in school, the pa- tient in the hospital. the poor and the needy.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-29

To maintain its present high standard and to expand with the growing necessities of the time, the Catholic University needs larger contributions from our Catholic people. The university depends in large part upon the generosity of the faithful. I ask you therefore to make this cole lection known to your people, urg- ing them to be more generous than in other years for the greater glory of God and the promotion of the cause of the church.
 Wishing you and your flock every blessing, I am.
 Sincerely yours in Christ,
 MAURICE F. McAULIFFE,
 Bishop of Hartford

MT. Botch, meantime, reiterated his statement that Waterbury has a lower rating with the National Board of Fire Underwriters than New Haven and Bridgeport. He said that John M. Brodie, insurance man and member of the fire board, was speaking about something entirely different" when he stated that the three cities are listed as Class B by the underwriters.

Alderman Walker Claims City's Per Capita Fire Loss
 Below New Haven, Bridgeport; F1Otch Speaks

Alderman Burton H. Walker claimed today that figures cited by Raymond P Boch secretary of the Waterbury Taxpayers Association prove that reduction in fire department personnel would impair fire protection for the city. The figures, which showed that Waterburys per port indicate that decrease in fire department expendi- lures should be made if the city is to maintain its record
 accordinr tn MT Walker

that mentioned by the taxpayers association.
 Waterbury is rated as a class four city by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. New Haven and Bridgeport are rated as class three cities, and Hartford has class two rating. What MT. Brodie is speak ing of is the state rating agency which takes the city ratings of the National Board of Fire Underwriters and determines the class to place a city in and the premium rates to be charged. In determining this class, the Underwriters rating is taken and may be adjusted either upward or downward due to the record of the city with regard to fire losses. In other words, the Board of Fire Underwriters rate a city merely on the basis of condi- tionS as the yexist without taking into account the experience of the city with respect to fire losses.
 l The state rating agency then takes the Underwriters rating, and, if city has good or bad fire loss record, the premium rate may be adjusted to bring the city's premiums more into line.
 "On that basis, the premium rates charged in Waterbury, New Haven, and Bridgeport are the same. However, the fact still re- mains that Waterbury is rated as class four city at present, and if its rating were raised to a class three, the same as New Haven and Bridgeport, there would be excel. lent possibilities of having fire premiums in Waterbury reduced below New Haven and Bridgeport due to the fact that fire losses in Waterbury are much smaller per capita than in the other two cities.
 To more fully explain the point the following are the per capita fire loss figures in the four Connec- ticut cities for the year 1889, and the average for the period 1885, 1939:
 Average
 Per Capita Per Capita
 City 1889 1935-1939 Hartford ...$1.31 $1O1 Waterbury .... 1.50 .1O2 New Haven .. 1.65 1.72 Bridgeport ... 2.58 l.52
 Prom this it may be seen that Waterbury's loss record is below l that of New Haven and Bridgeport l port, and that it is almost the same as that of Hartford. In set ting the premium rates for Water bury, the class was raised to that | of Bridgeport and New Haven due | to superior record. None the less, the fact that the National Board of | Fire Underwriters rate Waterbury class four had bearing on the picture, for 1t was a retarding fac- tor in the setting of Waterbury's rate. If, on the other hand, the National Board of Fire Underwrit- l CTS had given Waterbury a class three rating and then the state bureau were to set rate for Water bury. the possibility of its being placed in the same premium class l as Hartford would be greatly | enhanced"

VITAMIN A

Purely by chance the physicians of
ancient Greece found that animal hv-
ers contained something that would
cure a certain eye disease. And now,
two thousand years later, scientists
have named this substance vitamin
A and have discovered a great deal
more about it.
Vitamin A is found as a pale vel
low, oily liquid in the livers of animals
and fish, and also in milk and eggs.
In addition, the green and yellow
plants contain certain substances that
the body can change into vitamin A.
Experiments also show that vita
min A will do more for the body than
prevent or cure an eye disease. 1t is
absolutely essential for growth and
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1940-09-05

During the summer it's easy to get
enough vitamin A-with fresh fruits
and vegetables so plentiful and so
reasonable in price. While they are in
season, the wise homemaler uses as
many as possible Of the yellow veget-
ables, the green leafy vegetables, and
the yelIow-feshed fruits. This is real
economy, because the body can store
the vitamin A for later use.

good health all through life A baby
must have a supply of vitamin A even
before it is born, so it is important for
the expectant mother to have a diet
especially rich in this food value.
But any person, old OF young, will
have serious trouble if his diet is low
in vitamin A. One of the first signs
that person is not getting enough
vitamin A is the gradual development
of night blindness-that is, he does
not see in dim light as well as normal
persons. When the diet is very low in
vitamin A a more severe eye trouble,
called Xeropthalmia, results.
A deficiency of vitamin A also has
an effect on the cells of the skim
which cover every surface of the body,
both inside and outside-including the
nose, throat, lungs and other internal
cavities and organs. These cells are the
bodys' first line of defense against
Infections; and when vitamin A is
lacking there is likely to be serious
trouble, because these cells do not
function properly. The woman, who
plans meals, wants especially to know
which foods furnish vitamin A at a
reasonable cost. Fish-liver oil is a very
rich source, but there are others too.
Beef liver is excellent, and so are the
yellow and green vegetables. Highest
among greens are collards, dandelion
greens, kale, mustard greens, spinach
and turnip greens. Carrots and sweet
potatoes are also rated extremely
high.
Other green and yellow vegetables
are also important sources of vitamin
A. Some of them are snap beans,
okra, pumpkin, unbleached asparagus,
green lettuce, yellow squash and green
peas. Tomatoes, too, are a good source.
Among the fresh fruits that fur
nish vitamin A are muskmelon, man
goes, yellow peaches, persimmons, ba-
nanas and oranges. Dried apricots,
peaches and prunes are also good.
Whole milk, in amounts generally
recommended, rates high for its vita
min A value. You can also get gener-
Gus amounts of this vitamin from
cream, butter, whole milk and cream
cheeses, and ice cream. Eggs are an
other good source. In the plant world
the sources of vitamin A follow the
green and yellow colors. But in ami
NAL products, this is not always true
Deep colored egg yolks and thick vel
low cream may not be unusually rich
But both milk and eggs are richer in
vitamin A during the summer when
the cows and chickens get more green
things to eat.
Vitamin A is one of the more stable
of the vitamins, and there is little dan
ger of destroying it by ordinary means
of cooking. Even canning and freez.
ing do not have much effect. How.
ever, many plant sources rapidly lose
vitamin A value when held too long
before cooking.
