FOOD FOR THOUGHT
By CHARLOTTE SPENCER
NutrItiOnist for the State Board Of Health
THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING

A ten minute technicolor sound
film on nutrition, Proof of the
Pudding" will be shown soon in
motion picture theatres through
out Delaware. This film, produced
jointly by the u. s. Public Health
Service and the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, should be
very popular due to the increasing
state and national interest in i'm
proved nutrition.
According to advance publicity
the picture begins with a scene in
ZOO kitchen. The narrator dis
cusses the care with which animals
are fed and draws a contrast be-
tween this and the thoughtless
way in which many people feed
themselves. Scenes in a nutrition
laboratory emphasize, the fact that
our knowledge of the food needs
of human beings is based on scien-
tific research. By means Of an ami
mated chart the foods needed for
energy, building and repair, main
tanning body processes and prOtec-
tion against disease are shown.
These foods form the structure that
supports good health. When any
one of them is withheld or used in
too small an amount the structure
begins to crash and crumble.
Animals are used again to show
specific food deficiencies. The
Jones family is then introduced,
and their good physical condition |
is obvious. The points which indi-
cate good nutrition are emphasized |
by means of physical examina-
tion in a doctors office. Full credit
for the buoyant health of the chill
dren is given to the mother who
gave them a running start in life
by following the rules of good nu-
triton before they were born and
who has continued to give the
family the right kind of food.
Those who have seen the film
have been pleased at the interest
ing, accurate and Informative way
the subject is presented. Techni-
cal production services were han
died by Paramount Pictures Incor-
porated.
AS a part of national defense we
may expect to see motion pictures,
radio and the press cooperating
with health agencies in an effort
10 produce a well nourished and
healthy nation.

DUN is to determine whether there
shall be wheat marketing quotas
placed ON the 1941 wheat crop by
the federal government, 1t is desir-
ed by the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration that all wheat grow
ers go to the polls in their respec-
tive districts and vote on this i'm
portant question. If two-thirds OF
the wheat growers throughout the
United States vote in favor of wheat
marketing quotas, this federal reg
ulation will become effective dur
ing the marketing year beginning
July 1, and will also be in effect on
wheat harvested in 1941 which ia
marketed prior to this date.
Those farmers who planted wheat
within their 1941 acreage allot-
ments will not be affected by mar
keting quotas, regardless Of the
yields per acre, but those who have
exceeded their allotments can mar
ket, without penalty, the normal
or actual production on their acre
age allotments, which ever is great
er. Non-cooperators in this agri-
cultural conservation program may
secure loan on their excess wheat
at go per cent of the loan value to
cOoperators in the program, but
this loan can be secured only on
the amount of wheat produced in
excess of the farm marketing quota.
In view of our limited export
markets, If wheat marketing quotas
are not approved by farmers there
can be no wheat loans and no sup
port to prevent wheat prices from
falling to world levels, which prob
ably would be around rs to 40
cents a busheI under our present
agricultural situation and world
supply of wheat.
Tomorrow, Saturday, May 81,
Sussex county wheat farmers will
be given the opportunity to voice
their opinions on the national
wheat marketing quotas. On this
day all eligible growers throughout
the nation will vote to determine
whether they favor OF oppose such
quotas. pursuant 10 all
act passed by Congress in 1888. Ac-
cording to this act such quotas will
be in effect unless more than one
third of the farmers voting in the
oppose them.
To be eligible to vote in this ref
erendum farmer must have grown

Wheat Referendum Vote In
Kent County Due Tomorrow

produced 200 bushels or more. In
Sussex county, the A. G. A. records
show that there are 275 eligible
farmers who can vote.
Working in cooperation, the
County Agricultural Conservation
Committee and C. r. Snyder, secre-
tary of the association, have made
arrangements to give every one OF
these eligible voters chance to
vote for or against the question.
The county committee, composed
OF Hylon C. Smith, VIM. 1. I-ase and
Earl White is responsible for the
proper holding of this referendum
and they have designated certain
polling places and named the COM
munity referendum committees who
will have direct charge of the poll
ing places and the voting.

place consists of Miles T. Mills. Ell
wood Mills and John w. Bennett.
In the Second Representative
District, Wilson Hatfield, W.. L.
Morris and Frank Friedel. will
have charge of the referendum,
which will be held at the Green

small number of eligible voters in
the third. fourth and fifth districts,
only one polling place has been de-
termined upon for the three dis
tricts. The Wesley Community
Hall. on the road leading from Sea-
ford to Atlanta, has been designat-
ed for this purpose. The committee
in charge for these districts con-
sists of John Lovelace, VIM. Friedel

Since there are no wheat farm
ers in the sixth and seventh dis
tricts no polling place was neces-
sary, but for those living in the
eighth, ninth and tenth districts,
the Harbeson Community Hall has
been chosen as the polling place. |

THE CHILD AND HIS DOG
auth Peck Mcleod

The boy and his dog have been
immortalized In prose and poetry
but many girl enjoys her dog
quite as much.
Children who live in suburban
homes will find ample opportunity
for keeping almost any kind of do
mestice animal they wish. How
ever, with regard to popularity and
also desirability, still first on the
list stands the dog. He serves al
ways as a protection as well as a
pet.
The child who owns dog should
undertake the responsibility of
caring for him-giving him food
and water, seeing that he is bathed
frequently with a good soap and
that he is kept comfortable and
happy.
Definite rules should be decided
upon as to where the dog is to be
fed and whether he is to sleep in
doors or out. However, it must be
kept in mind that no dog should
stay in warm house all day and
then be turned out in freezing wea-
ther at night. Nor should a dog,
accustomed to a warm house, be
shut Out-of-doors for hours at a
time, in cold weather, because the
family must be away from home.
1t will not hurt the average big
dog to- remain out-of-doors' all of
the time all winter, provided he is
protected from the cold by a we'll
built kennel.
A dog kept indoors should have
a suitable spot that is all his own.
This is as necessary in summer as
in winter 1t should be comfort
able, so that he will not want to lie
on the beds or on the couch, or on
the chair cushions. His bed should
consist of box or basket which
can be desinfected occasionally. 1t
ought to be padded with a piece of
heavy canvas or blanket that can
be laundered frequently.
The indoor dog will require more
frequent baths than the outdoor
dog. He has less opportunity to
cleanse himself, and he should be
kept free from odors. When the
outdoor dog is bathed in winter, he
must remain in the warm house
until he is thoroughly dry.
All dogs should be vaccinated for
rabies for their own protection as
we'll as that of the household. Fear
that the family pet has gone mad
has tortured many parent and de-
stroyed the dog when he was mere
ly a little indisposed and irritable.
In many cities there is now a reg
ulation regarding this protection.
Almost every child, but especial
ly the only" child, will enjoy the
eompanionship of a dog and will
learn much from such friend,
both indirectly and directly. The
systematic care which every wise
parent will require the child to
give, to any pet, will be of great
educational value, and the dogs
devotion, loyalty and sympathetic
understanding canont help making
a strong appeal as traits worth
A child is quite sure
that it is not merely because his
dog does not speak our language
that secrets may be confided to him
with perfect safety!

CAMPAIGN TO BOOST
DIETARY STANDARDS
LAUNCHED BY CHAIN

In a move to help bolster the
federal food defense program" fol
improving national diet and health
standards, the Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company has inaugu-
rated an intensive nine-week ma
tional campaign to stimulate in
creased consumption Of vitamin-
bearing fruits and vegetables.
Representing the first broad
scale activity in line with the fed
eral program outside of govern
ment agencies, the campaign will
extend until July 26, according to
william F. Leach. Atlantic division
president.
I'VE have a double objective in
this undertaking. In addition to
promoting wider application Of
modern diet rules during the pres
ent national emergency, the cam
paign is planned to help farm
producers move their crops rapidly
into consumption during periods or
peak production" he said.
1.-The urgent need for promotions
of this kind is shown by govern
ment reports that about 45,OOO,OOO
Americans today are getting diets
below the safety line for protec-
ton of health" Leach pointed out.
He cited u. S. Department of Agri-
culture reports showing the need
for a seventy per cent increase in
of fruits and vege-
tables to meet minimum dietary
GAS a farm-aid project, we be-
lieve the campaign will be par
valuable during the peak
production period this. year be-
cause-according to U. S. ID. A. es-
and vegetable out
put will be generally heavier this
season than in 1910. Furthermore,
an entire continent Of markets for
many of these products has been
ost through the conflict abroad"
Leach explained.
ALMA & P divisions will make
vide use of newspaper advertising
o focus attention of consumers on
he power of vitamins as morale
during the nine-week
,eriod, the announcement stated.
Store posters will carry informa-
ion regarding the vitamin content
f various fruits and vegetables.
with the nation embarked upon
n all-out job of defense, every
ossible effort should be made to
emove undernourishment as a
tumbling block in our path"
each said. He referred to Secre-
ary Of Agriculture Wickard's re-
ent statement that "a part of any
rogram for the defense of dem
cracy is to be certain that our
len, women and children have
nough good food to keep them
