VIVA Holds First Line Of Defense
 In Health Battle

"Our First Line of Defense = Health"
 This slogan serves Q platform for the Waterbury Visiting Nurse association, an organization whose work In the field of community health has been one of the great est contributions to the city's pro- gress. The achievements of this voluntary group have won the praise and gratitude of doctors and laymen alike.
 An example of the staggering amount of health work done by the VIVA is the fact that In l94O the staff of 15 nurses made no less than 33,703 visits to Q total of 7,876 patients. The visits were classified as follows: non -cOmmu- nicable, l1,9O3; communicable, l. 3s4; pre-birth, 3.O43; post-birth, 6,27O; health supervision of chill dren, 9.025; others, 2,O7S.
 Not only SSes this community nursing organization visit mothers AAhU CnhhuEChh 0t tnChE zhUAAhObS ht also maintains clinics in several sections of this city, where moth- CTS can take their children rcgu- larly for examinations.
 The work of the VIVA goes into many fields beside nursing care. It includes for instance, instruc- ton in dietetics, enabling mothers to prepare nourishing meals at low cost; training of mothers in the education of their boys and girls; and aid to mothers i'm many other ways.
 The funds of the Visiting Nurse ass0citiOn are expended with so much care that in 1a40 only 13 cents of each dollar went for such items as supplies. rent and equlp- ment. The other S7 cents was used entirely for care of patients.
 The help that the VIVA has giv- en to thousands of Waterbury families through the years has made it . community institution in the truest sense, an institution of which the city feels justly proud.

forced to eat more than they have appetite for. Too many mothers are guilty of the false impression that "stuffing" Q child IS the best meth- cd of raising their youngsters. Most children will refuse to eat food now and then, but this is no reason for alarm.
 Their reasons may be the same as an adults, or perhaps because their appetites have been satisfied. If however the practice of food re- fusal continued steadily, Q doctor should be consulted.
 Normal Child
 A normal child, continues the bull letin, will require from one and one- half to one quart of milk per day, up to the age l6. Cod liver oil IS im- portant for It's vitamins and its value for the building of strong bones and teeth. Other necessities listed for daily consumption are as follows: Fruit or vegetables rich in vitaminS c and A, and in iron; po- tatoes; cereal; bread for those who need plenty of energy foods; one or two sweet foods a day If they do not take away the appetite for more i'm portant foods such as milk, vege- tables and fruits. and wholesome

Nothing recalls bettlc the way that your youngster looked at each changing stage than 6 fine photo. graph that catches his or her characteristic expression, that re fleets the personality, underneath. It is in catching the subtle shades of expression and character that the Loring Studios specialize.
 Located at 108 Bank Street, the Loring Studios are right in the heart of the shopping district, mak- ing 1t easy for you to drop in with the infant or older child the next time you're downtown.
 Each photograph taken at Lor- ing's is done with painstaking care, from the moment you enter with your child till you get the finished pictures. Results are so excellent that parents are amazed at the ex- tremely moderate prices.
 Prize winning pictures have emerged from many children's cons tests sponsored by the Loring Stu- dios. Varied types of finishes, fold. CTS and frames are available.
 The Loring Studios also have won a deservedly high reputation for their splendid group and family photographs. These are also offered at surprisingly low prices.

 As an example of what constitutes bad beginning, the Children's Bur- reau of the United States Depart ment of Labor recently issued a child welfare bulletin which states: Eating between meals or piecing can become habit that spoils the appetite for regular meals chil- dren initiate older people" ..
 Between Meals"
 Though eating between meals IS drowned upon, the suggestion is made that very active, rapidly growing children be permitted to have occasional tomato or fruit juice, an apple, or 3 glass of milk, provided, however, that these in- dulgences are found not to inter- fere with the child's regular meal appetite.
 These in-between snacks must be given, at regulated hours of the day.
 Children should be encouraged to feed themselves as soon as they are ready to try to do so, the report continues. They will scatter and spill food at first, but they should not be made to feel they have done wrong. Rather, they should be en- couraged to keep on trying.
 Of vital importance is the state- ment that children should not be

 Lastly, but not least, is the irn- portant matter of the water drinking habit. The body needs Q generous supply, and grown ups as well as children should form the habit of drinking 1t at definite times during the day, rather than wait for thirst to prompt them.

"Now we drop In TO see Pete

replied uninterestedly that she
didn't care.
Falks shouted, Hello. sweet
heart Wait for me in my office,
will you? Help yourself to drink"
His Office was a huge untidy
room with a handsome bar at one
end. The walls were covered with
photographs Of gorgeous girls, af-
fectionately autographed. Falks
came in a few minutes later, gave
Halle quick glance as encom-
passing as that Of the secretary at
Towers and said, "Whatn 1t

Pete sat down and took one OF
Hallies hands in his big paw. Got

Halle liked him in spite of his
familiarity.
sue answered for her: "She has
a date with three leading column
nlsts. It's work she wants. You'll
have 70 wait in line for your date"
Anyway, I'm married" Halle
said with a twinkle in her eye.
Falks sighed deeply; III wait

Halle was ashamed to show him
her hands. Housework had rough
ened them, but It had not destroyed
the beauty OF their tapering fin

them.
He said, BE here at nine in the
morning. I've got some jeWelry

Halle gulped. win it take an

Thirty dollars for a mornings

piece Of property that you'u fnd
you spend all your time protecting

You make ten dollars one week and

ITS funny business for a girl

CHATTER TH1RTY-TWo

IT TOOK three hours TO get
Halle ready for her visit to the
Towers Agency, three delicious
hours in the hands Of Sue Amber
son, who had no conscience at all
about Hallie's wearing the bor-
rowed clothes from famous Fifth
avenue shop.
Il know all the ropes OF this
business" she said leading Halle
10 an expensive beauty salon, and,
after that, TO theatrical photog1
rapher. You'll have TO show photo
graphs at the agency and leave
several Of them around. Ill stake
you if you haven't the cash
I'm never be able to pay you
back" Halle moaned when she saw
the bill the beauty expert handed
her. Not but what II was worth it;
her hair was a shining tawny mass,
heaped skillfully on the crown Of
her head. Her makeup, applied by
an expert showed the wide bones
OF her fac. her generous mouth,
and her deep-set eyes. She had de-
INJURED at false eyelashes with
good reason-the mascara brush
had brought out the shadow that
deepened the tone Of her eyes to
gray.
You'll be able to pay Il back.
The models I know make as high
as $50 a day most days, and get
even more when they're in demand.
You won't be able to buy the town
car you were yearning for a mo-
ment ago, but youth have a lot
more than you have now"
When Halle saw the array OF
beauty in the waiting room Of the
famous agency which supplied
commercial photographers, fashion
shows and artists with models, she
made a despairing gesture. She
had never seen so many exquisitely
beautiful girls gathered in one
place before. Redheads, blondes and
hrunettes, all were 1.-THE loneliness
in the flesh. All were dressed ex-
pensively, all perfectly groomed.
Sue whispered, They haven't
got anything on you"
Except that won't have clothes
like that after today" Halle whis-
pe-ed back.
Keep your fingers crossed. And
when they ask you II you have
complete wardrobe, say Yes
Chances are, you won't have TO use
your own clothes until you get
enough money to buy them"
a secretary stepped UP to the
rail, looked Halle over with the air
of a connoisseur Of beauty and
said. DO you have photographs ?"
Sue said, amigo will send them
over in the morning"
The secretary asked few ques-
tons. Halle gave her name and adj
dress and telephone number. The
other girl gave her another encom-
passing, calculating glance from
head to toe and said, Wen have
the pictures in the morning? Good!
You'll be on call at this telephone ?"
Halle nodded dumbly.
