SILK STOCKING DEMAND HEAVY
PrOcessed Silk Freezing Causes Run By Women
 in Hosiery

Cities throughout the state report unprecedented demands for silk stockings, as result of the gov ernment's freezing of processed silk In this city, it is expected that a rush by women to purchase stock of silk hosiery begun last week, will resume today. Efforts to discourage the buying of large quantities by single individuals, in order to per init wider distribution of merchan- disc On hand, have met with no success.
 To preserve whatever supplies of hosiery remain, directions for washing stockings have been sug- gested by Harriet Elliott, head of the consumers division of the O. P. A. c. s. These consist of washing hosiery immediately after remov- ing: using lukewarm soap suds, and pressing rather than rubbing the material; drying in the shade; and halting runs instantly by the use of run preventatives or colorlesS nail polish.
 The Mason Silk Go, Winsted, an- nounced that it expected to be able to continue full time production in spite of the government curtail- ment. The concern has also used nylon for some time.

ITO INTRODUCE RESERVOIR BILL Separate Legislation By Cong. Smith; Would
 Protect Valley

A bill enbodying the War Depart
 ment's recommendation for the con- struction of a Naugatuck valley flood control reservoir a mile above Thomaston is to be introduced in Congress soon by Congressman J, Joseph Smith of this city. Separate legislation is required because Con- gresS has already acted on the om- nibuS flood control bill.
 Costing an estimated $5,150, 900,
 the project would cover between 900
 and 1000 acres, in the towns of
 Thomaston, Plymouth, Litchfield and Harwinton. Army engineers say that it would protect Waterbury and
 other towns in the Naugatuck val-
 ley from all but the very worst floods.
 Engineers who have surveyed the
 area for the government declare
 that the Naugatuck river is grossly contaminated" and is the worst pol luted in the state. Waterbury, they say, is the worst offender and they urge strongly that sewage disposal plants be erected in cities and towns
 along the river.
 Congressman Smith is expected
 to stress the defense value of the
 project, since the reservoir would protect the highly industrialized val ley area from flood dangers. Millions of dolalrs in defense orders are now
 being handled by plants in this city and throughout the valley.

In the case of many vegetables, it is the crop that gets to market early that makes profits for the farmer. This season Dr. Lawrence c. Curtis, who developed the prize winning Yankee Hybrid, the seed of the Yankee Hybrid known as the second generation cross, as well as many other new squash hybrids, in exper- mental plots at the station farm at Mount Carmel. At the Station Field Day on August 20, farmers are invited to see the performance of these hybrids in the field.
 Last year, and again in 1941, pick ings from hybrids were from three days to two weeks earlier than those from the commercial standard, Early Prolific, planted on the same date. While plants from Yankee Hybrid Jr. did not yield as many fruits as this hybrid parent, they were far ahead of the standard on the early market.
 In the Yankee Hybrid, for the first time, squash showed the char acteristics looked for in first gener- ation crosses. Stronger vines pro- ducing politically in the early sea- son came from the cross. It has been generally accepted that the seed of such a hybrid will revert to the types that made Up its ancestry. In other words, the second genera tion usually loses hybrid vigor, ear- Illness, uniformity of development and high yielding power. Its fruits vary in size, shape and color.
 A certain amount of hand labor goes into the making of any hybrid seed. That is why it is so expensive. If the seed from the hybrid could be planted with good results, im- proved quality fruits would be within the reach of all pocketbooks.
 In the case of corn, it is we'll known fact that pure line inbreds must be crossed each year to obtain seed that will give the desired hy- brid characteristics. Squash fruits, however, are picked for eating at an immature stage, Dr. Curtis explains. If the second generation hybrids were left on the vines until they reached maturity, the squash would probably be worthless. Various sizes and shapes would appear and there wou1ds be no uniform development early in the season. Picked at the edible stage, this squash varies from it's desirable hybrid parent but is cheaper to produce, just as early and as prolific in the early season.
 So far Dr. Curtis has the results of trials in three years on which to base conclusions. He believes that second generation hybrid seeds of squash and other vegetables of similar nature will some day be used

with good results. However, the work is still experimental and he does not recommend the use of the seed of Yankee Hybrid for commer- cial plantings at present. The sig nifcance of the work is that the second generation retains its hybrid vigor, high yield and earliness. More uniformity can probably be devel- oped
 Hybrid vigor has been noted in to- ma1oes, cucumbers, peppers and as- paraguS, but the expense of pro- ducing seed has discouraged com- mercial exploitation of the knowl- edge. The idea of using the second generation seed for commercial sale may be a giant stride in bringing better and finer fruits and vege. tables to the American market at a reasonable price. 1t may alter the program of plant breeding by per- suading the breeder to cross inbreds with an eye on the second, rather than the first. generation hybrid. Whatever else it does, 1t is bound to open wide field of plant research.

THAT'S TOMMY

At home Tommy Is an awful scamp So his mom and pop sent him to camp. At home he raised cane something awfuf, At camp Tommy was obedient and lawful, Polite to his supervisors, friendly with the boys, regular fellow who didn't make lot of noise. At home he yells at the top of his voice, At camp he was the counseors choice To lead in singing or read aloud An example in manliness to the camping crowd. At home he never answers his mothers call, Slams all the doors and marks on the walls He wouldn't walk with his sister down the street Or tip his hat to her friends that they meet At camp 1t was yes sir, no sir, like that Tell tales on boy? Do you think he'd rat? At home he's always Spiling the beans, Acting like ten instead of in his teens. At home Tommy is an awful scamp, But you should see that boy at camp!

i flair" diets = on the bcrderIino without any reserve energy for extra work or extra emotional disturbances. Only 27 per cent, or hardly one quarter, of flood rich" America is fed 8 good diet" A basic study of social needs published by the Texas Welfare Association in November, 194O, adds these footnotes to the Amer ican myth that everyone is well fed: In one East Texas county where surplus commodities Is the only assistance given to 'rnena- ployables" and the unemployed alike, the health officer estimated that "2O5 deaths in this county in 1898 were Ilastened by lack of sufficient amount and balanced diets"
 ARE WE WE'LL
 FED? NO!
 In a South Texas county the local health officer said: "I00 per cent of the cases that have come to my att tention in the past year have been complicated by mal11utrition." That's only part of one report from Tex as. And there are 47 other states on our nutritional map.
 America has so-called food Sur- pluses. We have a staggering surplus of wheat. Yet, Dr. Stiebeling estimates that our economic sur- p1uses notwithstanding, we must devote 40 million more acres than we do today to the production of protective foods. She believes that we must consume at least 10 to 20 per cent more milk, 10 to 25 per cent more butter, and 26 to 70 per cent more tomatoes and citrus fruits and about twice aS rnuchl eafy, green and yellow vegetables.
 Surgeon General Parran also blows cold on our myth of being well fed as nation. ITO give all of us what we need nutritionally, we should increase by neraly 50 per cent our national production of milk and milk products" he says. "One of our most valuable foods-dried skim nnilk-now ;s largely used for poultry mad stock feed. We have given our lve- stock the best part of many foods"
 Malnutrition may well become Americas Quisling. The cure for malnutrition is good food and plenty of it. The priority Ques- ton, then, in our breakneck pro- gram of defense is: Are we well fed? The answer is: NO. That is why the National Nutrition Conference was called and why it drew up a nutritional gold stand ard.

been willing to put our nutritional knowledge to work.
 It was vitally significant there fore that the President recently called to Washington over 500 lead- ing nutritional scientists, home ec- onomics experts, educators, food manufacturers and food growers from every section of the U. s. for the National Nutrition Conference.
 He asked them for 8 plan of nutritional national defense. They pooled their best scientific knowl- edge and working experience and drew up a plan to put every American man, woman and child on gold standard for nutrition. Stated simply: Better eats for all Americans"
 IN THE SPRING A
 YOUNG MANS FANCY
 America has been one of the last nations to recognize the importance of balancing the na- tional diet. The Germans began as early as 1884 to educate their people to adjust their diet grad ually and in advance to wartime food conditions.
 In 1886 the nutrition experts in the German War Ministry made large-scale inquiries into the food consumption of heavy manual workers. They studied how to get the maximum efficiency out of workers on wartime food SUD- plies, and today's civilian rations in Germany are largely based on this experience.
 A recent news report announces that the usual slackening of work intensity that comes with spring

So conscious are the Germans of foods value as a weapon-of- fensive as well as defensive that, as A. A. Berle, Assistant Secretary of State, told the Nutrition Con- ference: Food, because of its im- pact upon economic conditions and the morale of 8 people, has been used by aggressor nations as an instrument of war, an instru- ment for subjugating whole pop ulations." A population i'll fed hasn't the strength for revolt.
 Britain, too, belatedly woke up to the importance of national nu- triton last year. Now the British are experimenting with improved diets for young men rejected for military service. Many of them were undernourished, having been raised largely on tea, margarine and bread. The boys are fed sci- entifically for a period of weeks. In a short time their bodies tough en and their eyes and nerves grow strong. They go up for second military examination. A dramatic percentage of those originally re- jected are accepted after this nu- tritional rehabilitation.

ONLY AMERICAN
 IN 4 PROPERLY FED
 A striking incident in Britain,s R. A. F. serves to bring home the im- portance of foods. One gunner in the R. A. F. had an extraordinary record of mailing Nazi aircraft in the dark. His mates, who called him Carrots" because he was constant ly munching carrtos, didn't know much about vitamin A, but they saw the results.
 In the light of the experiences of Germany and Britain with food as a weapon, America starts its nutritional rearmament as badly off as it started its airplane re- armament. Over 40 per cent of our young men called up for the draft were rejected for physical de- fects. An overwhelming number of these were caused directly or in directly by malnutrition.
 Dr. Hazel K. Stiebeling, senior food economist of the Bureau of Home Economics in Washington, told the Nutrition Conference that 35 per cent of Americas fam lilies are living on poor diets. An- other 38 per cent are living on
