club to its franchise fee in the Amer

of the business. The Brewers trans

Draft Hits Sports Lightly.
The draft touched Washington
sports only lightly, but in 1912 many
more local athletes, like those of
the rest of the country, expect to
be called to the colors.
Probably the most notable Dis
trlct star to join the service of Uncle
Sam was Buddy Lewis, third base
man-outfielder and prize hitter of
the Mats. Lewis was called shortly
after the baseball campaign came
to close. Jack Sanford, rookie
who was counted upon next year,
also was called up.

that during the survey the enrich
ed" and ordinary types of flour had
been offered side by side. "Sales of
the enriched product showed that
the educational work being carried
on by the industry and government
authorities has made excellent pro-
gress. Preference for the new type
product was, in some cases, unan-
imous, and for the test as a whole
was materially higher than for the
old type product.
The survey also revealed, how
ever, that demand for the enriched
flour was decidedly greater among
the average and above-average in
come groups than from those of
low incomes, Tully said. 1T is this
latter group" he explained, that
both government and the industry

NEW DEFENSE
FLOUR OFFERED
New Flour Offered by A & 2
is Especially Enriched
With Thiamin
ADDITION OF VITAMINS

AS a further step in its program
of cooperation with health author
tiles in the national defense pro-
gram, the Great Atlantic & Pacific
Tea Company today announced
change in its "Sunnyfield" brand
family -four to conform to the new
enriched standards. Frank M.
Tully, in charge of fiour-buying OPP
erations for the A & P, explained
that family -four packages now
moving to retail outlets are labeled
enriched" and carry a statement
that the -four contains more than
1.66 milligrams of Vitamin 81, or
thiamin; 6.15 milligrams of nico-
tinic acid, the pellagra-preventive
found in many common foods such
as liver, kidney and other whole
some meats, and els milligrams of
iron. This change in the flour fol-
lows closely the company's action
in placing its bread in the enrich
edo product class through the addi-
ton of corresponding amounts of
the vitamin and mineral properties.
Americans preference for deli
cate white bread, Tully pointed out,
has brought about milling process
es which have given an extra-fine
product, but which have been re-
sponsible for the loss Of much of
the vitamin and mineral values of
wheat flour. This loss is now
counteracted by addition, after the
milling process, of the ''B complex"
properties that bring the white
-four closer to parity with whole
wheat flour.
Adoption of the new type -four
follows an intensive test program
of studying consumer reaction,
Tully said. Results were even
more encouraging than we had an

Nine All club members in Kent

pays to grow a good garden, to
keep an accurate account and by so
doing to gaiT> knowledge for future
home gardening effort. In 1910, a
garden contest was sponsored for
the IS boys and girls enrolled in
the garden project. Each member
was required to draw a plan of the
garden, keep an exact account of
expenses and receipts and write a
story recording the successes or
failures and what the CLUB men,

Printing the News

When to print a disagree
able story and when to leave
one out of the paper is one Of
the most troublesome prob
lens Of a small-town editor. In
the case of a person who is I'M
faithful to a public trust, or
one who is guilty of a serious
crime, it is not difficult to de-
eide, because the public inter
est as well as the public's
right to have the news, de-
mands that it be printed.
There are some cases, how
ever, in which the offense is
entirely of a personal nature,
and in which publishing the
story would bring sorrow and
embarrassment to innocent
persons without serving any
beneficial purpose. In these
the making Of a proper deci-
sion is often not easy. If the
story is printed, relatives and
friends of the person concern
ed will feel that it is unneces-
sary; if it is suppressed, the
scandal-mongers will be disap-
pointed, and many will insinu-
ate that the editor was
bought off,"
So, it's hard to please every
body and no editor of sense
tries to please everybody. He
must let his own judgment
and his own conscience be his
guide.
If he errs on the side of
kindness and sympathy for
the unfortunate, his error will
be forgiven by the more en-
lightened readers of his news
paper.-The Newark Post.

Much progress has been made in
the campaign to open the oyster
beds at the mouth of the Mispillion
River. This campaign was started
by Mayor Edward c. Evans of Mil
ford, who is endeavoring to bring
back to this community the lost in
dustry of longing oysters which at
one time was a great source of rev.
enue to many in that section. Years
ago oysters were caught in abund-
ance at the mouth of this river, and
of delicious flavor, said to have
rivaled the famous "blue-points."
There was a great demand for
them and many watermen depend
ed upon their catch for a livelihood.
Smyrna times., 1941-05-01

The State Board of Health at first
contended that the beds were pol
luted from emptying of sewage
from Milford into the river. After
the installation of a sewer disposal
plant it was then contended that
the oyster beds were polluted by
pleasure boats and the refuse from
the settlement at the mouth of the
stream.
