HIDDEN HUNGER LOWERS HUMAN
HEALTH

THE UNITED STATES grows too much food
I and still there are thousands who starve fol
want of it. Too many children who are able to
eat all they need prefer doughnuts, hot dogs ano
pop, in place of milk, and other proper foods that
have the right vitamins. Undoubtedly they taI
Ito get healthy start in life.
Secondly-boys and girls in their teens cut out
the home dinners and mothers foods and replen,
ish their tummies with candy various sweets, soft
drinks and cigarettes, tidbits and other things
that lack nourishment.
1t apparently takes war to bring out the sad
fact that 45 per cent of draftees are victims OF
"undernourishment"
Nearly thousand of the country's leaders in
nutrition attended the call of President Roosevelt
Ito a National Nutrition Conference in Washing
ton. Vice President Wallace told the delegates
"This conference is firing the opening gun in q
real new order a new order based on physical
well-being, equal opportunity, and freedom Of the
|soul."
Mr.. Wallace and other Government officials
and medical and health authorities agreed that
l''Wide undernOurshment exists throughout the
width and breadth of our land, and the President
wrote to the delegates that "every survey of nutr
Ition, by whatever methods conducted, shows that
here in the United States undernoulishment is
widespread and serious"
The seriousness of conditions was estimated by
Professor Russell M. Wilder of the Mayo FOunda
Ition, who told the Conference that more than one
third of all families have been buying food which
Icould not provide diet rating better than poor
Iby conservative Standards and not more than one
family in four obtained food which would provide
!diet rated as good. This meant, he said, that Y
per cent of our people suffering from what is
|called hidden hunger.
The country is going to hear a lot about "hid
den hunger" and the necessity of vitamins A, B
etc, from an educational program headed by the
Department Of Agriculture and other Government
groups. Defense officials are going to help fgh
the battle against this Nations. physical slump
The problem is important and serious and the
readers of this newspaper are advised to keel

future by responsible Government and STATE

TOO DRACTlC CUTS OPPOSED

WHILE approving President RooSeVetS recon-
w mendation that WPA appropriations for the
coming fiscal year be reduced by S1O9,OOO,OOO, the
American Federation OF Labor Executive Council
points out that it would be dangerous and fool
hardy" to slash the appropriation too drastlcally
1--WE cannot, even in times OF emergency, the
council warns, desert the army of the uncmpoy-
ed and much as we would like to see it happen
there is little likelihood that all of the number now
iobless will be able to find Jobs in private indus
try in the coming year"
Then the council shows why more drastic
WPA cuts would be most unwsc. Citing A. +. OF
L. estimates that there are still about 7,OOO,O0o
persons unemployed, which may be reduced to D.
600 900 within a year because Of rapid expansion
of defense production, the council says
"'Ihcre are many factors preventing the com
pIctc absorption Of the unemployed IN the lmmc-
date future even while industrial production goes
into high gear. Man-hour production IN manu-
featuring has increased to such extent that IN
some industries man now produces as much
as two used to do few years ago. This IS due
to new abol-Saving devices and processes.
Furthermore, each year there is consider
able influx Of new workers into the labor market
"Thereforc, the appropriation Of SSl5,OOO,OOt
asked by the President for WPA during the fiscal
wear ending June 1912 is none too high. 1t means
that WpA employment will have to be cut by 900
600 by the end of next month from what it was
on January /. 1t means that the WPA will be
able to employ average Of only a million per
sons during the coming year.
"Undcr these circumstances, further ccono
mics could be achieved only at the expense of cX-
trcme suffering by those who are unemployed
through no fault OF their oWn.'

THIRTY SECONDS or DESTRUC CTION

In that insignificant length of time fire de-

United States. In that time, fire attacked some

And during each half minute of every day, seven

thing about it.
No one should say that he doesn't know what
TO do. Basic fire prevention is simplicity itself
The National Board of Fire Underwriters recently
laid down the rules for a successful fire preVen-

around you. Burn that rubbish! Stamp out that
cigarette before YOU throw it away! Keep gaso-
line out of the house. Fight fre-before it

Fire, believe it or not, has killed more Ameri-
