Private Flynn Revives Near Drowning Victim
 at Lake Winnemaug

Margaret LaFreniere, IA, of ls Chase Park avenue, was rescued from Lake winnemaug, Watertown, yesterday afternoon after she had fallen through an inflated rubber tube. Angelo Durante and Paul sicard, both of Oakville, swam to khe girls rescue and brought her so shore.
 Artificial respiration was begun by Private Edward G. Flynn of the waterbury fire department, who had just left his cottage nearby. The girl began to show signs of re- covery. Shortly afterward Kenneth Peck and Walter Shannon brought the Watertown fire department in- halator to the scene, and the girl showed further signs of recovery. She was taken to Waterbury hos pital.
 Spectators said the girl was float ing on the rubber tube when she slipped through it and went under. She started back for shore, calling for help, and Durante an Sicard went to her rescue.
 The near drowning was on the west shore of the lake, near the spot where Henry Derry, 19, of Water town, was drowned recently.

Gene Tunney Organizes Foundation To Oppose 'Red" Youth Congress Comunist Dominated Organization Challenged Leadership Among American Objecves Fight
 for American Democracy.

Gene Tunney today announced the formation of a National Foundation for American Youth to serve as Q clearing house and coordinating cen- ter for the pro-American youth groups opposed to the Communist controlled American Youth Con- gresS.
 At its recent national convention in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, the AVG refused admittance to pro- American delegation led by a coali- tion of Young Democrats, Young Republicans and members of the Jr. Chamber of Commerce sponsored by MT. Tunney. As result of the refusal of the AVG to rid itself of its Red leadership, most of the non- Communist groups have now seeded from the organization.
 Young people from all parts of the nation have written MT. Tunney urging the establishment of nat ional organization to serve the needs of loyal American youth. In some states, Young Democrat and Young Republican leaders have already ir1- itiated American youth commit tees, awaiting only the announce ment from MT. Tunney to launch a simultaneous national movement.
 Americanism
 The National Foundation for American Youth will be non- policy making national headquarters for independent state pro-American groups dedicated to a program of Americanism, defense of democracy and service to the community. These state groups will formulate their own programs and will use the Youth Foundation as a vehicle for their activities.
 MT. Tunney will serve as tempor- ary chairman of the Youth Founda- tion.
 Murray Plavner, who organized the ro-American bloc, will be nat- ional director. Offices are at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, N. Y. c.
 MT. Tunney's statement follows:
 Last month, on the eve of the American Youth Congress conven- ton in Wisconsin, our pro-A American group announced that it was pre- pared for showdown with the AVG. We said it was time the American people knew that the AVG was not an American youth movement, that

it was led and dominated by Com munists. We said, The American people will be the referee in this fight and their decision will be final.
 That decision has now come in. It has come in the form of an ava lanche of support-of telegrams, letters, phone calls, newspaper stories, columns and editorials, It has proved beyond doubt that the AVG is finished. It has proved too that there is desperate need for a rallying point for the middle-of- the-road youth who still cling to traditional American ideals.
 Junior Fifth Column
 we are glad this job is done. The air had to be cleared of the smoke screen laid down by this junior Fifth Column before a genuine movement could be launched. Youth needs help-youth needs voice. But that voice must speak with an American accent, not Russian.
 Organizations like the AVG, af- flicted with a severe case of 'gimmes are slur on American youth. The career of the AVG has been one long spree of demands, but not once has it ever offered to give anything in return. Talking is the thing the AVG does best. It loudly affirms its love of democracy but scorn- fully turns down the one thing its country has asked-cooperation in the national defense program. The suggestion that youth devote a year of its life to training was contemp- tuously described as 'twaddle' by one of the AVG leaders. Small won- der that the country thinks youth at least youth represented by the AYC-is collection of loud mouths, These loud mouths went diectly from the Wisconsin convention to Chicago to organize the Emergency Peace Mobilization and from there sent 'puppet teams across the land organizing against any National Defense Progam.
 "No honest American youngstel builds his future on gimme de- mands on the government, or is fooled by the 'pie-in-the-sky' visions of youth saviors peched on a soap. box. Yet the AVG, making fantas. tic claims to millions of members and screaming so loudly as tt practically monopolize the 'youtf poinJ Jf view put itself over vel enough to convince a few inf1uen- tial individuals that it spoke fol youth. The sad fact is that the AVG succeeded in fooling it's elders more easily than youth. Young peo- pie stayed away from the AVG ir millions. And those young people

Probation After Death" Golden
Text: Galations go Let us not be
weary in well doing: for in due
season we shall reap, if we faint
not. A bible citation from the
lesson-sermon: Isaiah PSI, 4, 8. o
Lord, thou art my God; will exalt
thee, / will praise thy name; for
thou hast done wonderful things;
thy counsels of old are faithfulness
and truth. 4. For thou hast been
strength to the poor, a strength
to the needy in his distress, re-
fuge from the storm. g. He will
swallow up death in victory; and
the Lord God will wipe away tears
from off all faces; and the rebuke
Of his people shall he take away
from off all the earth. Correlative
from the Textbook, "Sicence and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy: In Science,
all being is eternal, spiritual, per-
feet, harmonious in every action.
Let the perfect model be present in
your thoughts instead of its demor-
allied opposite. This spiritualiza-
tion of thought lets in the light,
and brings the divine Mind, Life
not death, into your consciousness.

HEALTH FIRST
DEFENSE NEED
Service of Building Up Health
to Resist Epidemics Count
ed as Major Defense Force
SLEEP REST NEEDED

In newspapers. over the radio
and from speaking platforms, peo-
pie are being advised of the ma
tional defense program. All of
these references are to the Army
or Navy or Air Force or to equip
ment-guns, tanks, planes, ships
and supplies. There is, however,
another service connected with ma
tional defense which is of equal i'm
portance to the nations well being.
That service is health DIR. Thomas
Parran, Surgeon General of the u.
S. Public Health Service, and the
whole medical profession agree
that disease and devastating cpl
denies may break out at any time
in war-torn European countries
and that it will be impossible to
prevent the spread of the plaques
to our country if and when they
occur. How can we build up our
health and so be better able to re-
sist these dangers Miss Pearl
Macdonald, nutritionist for the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service, says that the two things
which do more than anything else
to improve the health of the indi-
vidual and thus build resistance to
disease dangers are enough sleep
and rest, and the kind of food
which insures good nutrition. Sleep
costs nothing. As for food, Miss
Macdonald says that this is a time
TO lay aside our pet theories and
prejudices, accept the teachings of
the newer knowledge of nutrition
and make ourselves strong for our
country. A healthy, well-fed people
is the first line of defense. And the
recipe for good nutrition is simple
Milk and dairy products are most
important for health. Nutrition
authorities suggest one quart of
milk each day for each child, and
one pint for the adult either to
drink or to be used in cooked food.
Vegetables, three day or more
leafy, yellow and green and all 9TH
ers-rank with milk and dairy pro-
ducts. Fruits are protective-one
or two servings day-fresh, can
ned or dried Eggs rank with milk
in building for health. One a day
or at least four a five a week.
Bread, cereals and meat are also
included in every plan for good nu-
triton.
