To Help "Speed Up" Brain Energy

Before you blame the teacher; be-
fore you blame your child for a re-
port card that is not as good as it
could and should be-answer these
2 questions:
Because of poor appetite, does
your child eat less-thus have
less energy for body and brain?
Because of loss of this energy,
does your child concentrate less
thus learn at a slower rate?
Today, science says a mental "slOw
down" may result from a deficiency
of Vitamin B,. Because Nitamin B,
Is necessary to normal, healthy
appetite: and to the liberation of
food energy into energy for body
and brain.
Do These 2 Things
Hence, 1t Is clear that If your child
has the signs of a Nitamin b def
ciency-the quicker you start serv-
Ing the foods which supply this Vita
min, the better for your child.
Because diets deficient in one vita

Those in Washington
Given Promotions

According unprecedented recogni-
ton to the work OF It's Reserve Of
ficers, the Navy announced last
night the selection of 43 lieutenant
commanders for promotion to the
rank of commander.
Such promotions have been made
in the past, but not in such a large
group nor through the agency of a
selection board such as is used in
picking regular naval officers for
appointment to higher grades
Heretofore promotions in the Re-
serve have been made informally
upon recommendation Of the COM
manding officers interested
Approved by the President, the
selections for promotion will become
effective as soon as vacancies occur
in the rank OF commander.
Robert V. Fleming. president and
chairman Of the board OF Riggs Ma
tional Bank, was among reservists
from the Washington area selected.
Others included Ross Forester
Collins, Karl L. Lange, William
Henry Miller and Tunis A. NJ.

spects. you are urged to do these 2
things at once:
1-Give your child a we'll ball
anced diet including at least 1
pint of milk day, fresh vege.
tables and fruit or juice.
2-Serve slices per meal Of this
revolutionary new Staff Bread.
Because this revolutionary new staff
contains over times more Vitamin
B1 for normal appetite and mental
energy; over 500 more Vitamin b.
also essential to body and brain
cells-than ordinary white bread.
And since 1t furnishes relatively
1856 more protein and times
more iron than many ordinary white
breads, it is plain for all to see that
staff is superior for building and
nourishing body and brain.
Children Loue Staff
Never before have you tasted bread
like this. For Staff is fresh as the
sight of fields of wind-rippled, sun
splashed wheat. With flavor and
aroma even better than bread fresh
baked from wheat ground at the old
mill on the creek.
And it's delicate and lacy and vel
vety of crumb as a blue-ribbon loaf
at the State Fair. You know 1t is
different and better by the richness
of it's golden wheat color.
Better Than Whole Wheat
Staff is better than whole wheat,

he thought a six-day week was
''by all means necessary in all
defense plants. He added that the
government should have immediate
power to draft" idle machine
tools whenever they could be uti-
lized for armament work.
Martin, whose testimony pro-
voked a barrage of questions by
committee members, said that
such broad powers as he recon-
mended should be resorted to only
if the emergency required.
eff you want just the present
program, I believe the army and
navy could obtain the present num-
Der of planes desired without con-
fusion" he said, 'but we don't
know the future and we must look
ahead to the bigger show"
He added that the drafting OF
labor and industry would be nee
essary only if much greater pro-
duction were required than is now
being considered, but that such
a step would settle all questions
as to "who is going to make what
and prevent labor organizations
from taking a digger bite" out
of what he said they apparently
regarded as "a bigger and bigger
melon"
"You wouldn't suggest that we
take a man at bayonet point and

Retirement Fund
Broughton's budget message
called especial attention to the pro-
posed retirement fund and the ex-
emptions from the sales tax.
In my campaign for the nomi-
nation and election as governor"
he said, Il definitely endorsed and
committed myself to these two
proposals. I am gratified that they
come to you not only as my rec.
concentrations but with the unani-
nous approval of the advisory
budget commission, concurred in
by my distinguished predecessor,
Governor Hoey.
II earnestly urged upon the
general assembly that these rec
concentrations be accented and en-
acted into law at this session"
Regarding the proposed transfer
OF money from the highway to the
general fund, the Governor points
out that whether it is wise or

Broughton explained, that apart
from some unexpected emergency,
no recourse will have to be made
to such fund and such contingent
transfer will not in fact be made
He pointed out that the advisory
budget commission, in setting w
a balanced budget for 1939-41, pro

this biennium and $50, $50, 900 in
the 1933-35 depression period.
Highway Expenditures
Highway expenditures would be
$40, 061, 900, in addition to $3,815, 1897

vision would be made in the high

to the general fund-though the
budget showed only $2,203, 907 as
likely to be diverted.
Governor Broughton has ex-
pressed opposition to such diver
sion, while provision was made
this biennium for diversion, no
money has been transferred from
the highway to the general fund.-
Schools would receive a record
budget of $57, 939, 1913. No general
salary increases proposed
but the usual provision a made
for increases in teacher pay
through the earned increment plan.
The budget commissions recon-

This retirement program was
provided in the largest new item.
It would receive 81, 408, 152 for the

The Leland and Long Creek-Grady
High school basketball teams divided
a doubleheader at Long Creek last
night, the Leland boys continuing
undefeated with a 1910 victory and
the Long Creek girls winning 22-17.

tage at halftime.
Paul Robbins with IA points was
high scorer for Leland. B. Langston
and Rivenbark with four points each
led Long Creek.

that kept the Leland sextet baffled.
Rachel Russell with IL points was
high scorer for the winners, while
Elizabeth King with 10 points set
the pace for Leland.
Thursday night Leland will play

the years past, it has possibilities
for much greater development. An
indispensable factor in connection
