Flag Doy Saturday, June 14th

Strange how certain little acts become part of your daily life. Habits are what most of us call them, and yet, small as they are, they can mean so much to us. For in- stance, one of our daily thrills has to do with our morning walk through "The Green. We look up, and there it is on top of tall, steel pole .. bright in the morning sun, with the blue of the heavens for a back ground, framed in the lacy pattern of leafed branches ... the star spangled emblem of free people. The flag of race who be- lieves in tolerance, religious freedom and the rights of individuals to live their lives their own way, so long as it doesn't jeop- ardize the security and happiness of their neighbors.
 Maybe all this sounds like little sentiment tai flag waving? Could be! But probably we need little more sentiment on that score. This flag of ours certainly stands for enough worthwhile things to be sentimental about.
 Flag Day is Saturday, June IA. It's the ar- niversary of the adoption of the flag. In celebration of this important event, 1t would be grand patriotic gesture if every build- ing in Waterbury displayed an American flag on that day.

THE BURNT CHILD

Insurance Commissioner John B.
Centrum issued the following warn
ing:
Last year, some 5000 Americans
died the horrible death of fire, and
1900 of them were children under
ten years of age according to the
National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers, now observing it's 18th ami
versary.
IAN average of 1900 damaging
fires per day broke out in 1910.
Our national fire loss per capita
was again a world marvel, total
ing about $1,000 for every man,
woman and child, as against an
average per capita fire loss in pre-
war Europe of around 40 cents a
year.
why? Nothing but carelessness,
says the National Board. Careless
ness they call the great national sin
against our safety, our property, the
welfare of our loved ones. So they
have dedicated their 18th Anniver-
sary year to the job of 'fire-proofing'
the United States by education, to
help us learn to fight fire the right
woy-before it starts. This is a
free schools we can all attend, to
our lasting benefit.

THAT ALL IMPORTANT SIXTH
YEAR MOLAR

DR.. Richard G. Leonard, Chief of
the Division of Oral Hygiene of the
Maryland State Department of
Health, calls attention to the ac-
companying explanation as to why
so much emphasis is laid on pro-
tecting and preserving the sixth
year molars. The account comes
from the American Dental Associa-
ton. Here it Is:
Good Looks good health and
good speech--priceless possessions
are dependent on well-formed jaws.
Perfect jaws cannot be purchased
as needed; they can be developed
only through proper care in child
hood.
"The key to normal jaw develop
ment lies largely in the first perm
anent molars, known as the sixth
year molars because they first ap-
pear about the sixth year of life. If
these teeth are lost, unpleasant
facial contours, inadequate masti-
cation of food and even speech de-
fects can result.
'"The sixth-year molars, four in
number, develop and erupt directly
behind the last baby teeth in the up
per and lower jaws. They are the
most important teeth in the mouth,
acting as guideposts for the perman-
ent teeth which come in on each
side of them. If the first permanent
molars grow out of lime or are ex-
tracted, the remaining teeth are
shifted out of position and the jaw
may become deformed.
"Care is indeed necessary long be-
fore the sixth-year molars appear.
They begin to calcify (harden)
about the time the child is born.
Consequently, every : item of the
child's diet and every factor in his
health during his first years of life
have direct bearing on the growth
of these all-important teeth.
During the nursing period, the
mothers diet should include green,
leafy vegetables, fruit, whole-grain
bread, meat, eggs and milk and
other dairy products. AS the child
grows older, his diet should include
these teeth-building foods and also
cod liver oil, and he should receive
plenty of sunshine. The family
physician should be frequently con-
suited concerning the child's diet
and care.
at is important that the child be
taken to the dentist as soon as the
sixth-year molars appear, to have
the new teeth examined. 1t may be
that they are improperly formed. If
they are defective, it is essential
that the flaws be corrected and, if
necessary, substantial filings be in
serted. This will prevent serious de-
cay and, indirectly, will help main
tain the contour of the dental arch
es and thus aid in normal develop
ment of the jaws.

CHEVROLET PERFORMANCES

The increasing demand on the
part of Chevrolet buyers has prompt
ed the five-passenger coupe into Sec
ond position among all body styles,
usurping the place held by the four
door sedan throughout most of the
past decade, figures recently releas-
ed by the divisions Market Analy-
sis department reveal.
Tradionally the leader, two-door
sedans are still the No. choice of
the Chevrolet buying public, the
figures show, with the always-popu-
lar four-door sedans now in third
place. Fourth and fifth, respectively,
are the business coupe and the cab
riolet.
During the first quarter of 1871,
two-door sedans accounted for 44.S
per cent of all passenger car sales,
Five-passenger coupes were "a per
cent of all sales; four-door sedans
22.9 per cent; business coupes 6.5
per cent, and cabriolets lie per
cent, and cabriolets lie per cent.
In the same period last year, two
door sedan sales amounted to 54.4
per cent of the total; four-doors,
24.3 per cent; business coupes, 11.2;
five-passenger coupes, S.S, and cab
riolets 1.5.
A decade ago, in 1880, the figures
ran like this; two-doors, 46.3 per
cent; four-doors, 24.6; four-passen-
ger coupes, IT; business coupes, q;

COMMERCIAL PLANTFOOD CON-
SUMPTION HITS NEW HIGH

An all-time record for fertilizer
consumption was established by
farmers with S,311,00O tons of COM
mercial fertilizer used on farms
during the past crop year, according
to the annual consumption report
made public today by The National
Fertilizer Association. This is an in
crease of more than one-half million
tons over the prior year.
Tonnage figures in themselves
do not tell the complete story Of
plantfood consumption in this ban
ner year, since there has been a
significant increase in the amount of
plantfood contained in a ton of fer
tilizer", said Charles ]. Brand, Exc
cutive Secretary of the Association.
This years tonnage figure was Is
per cent above 1920 but the amount
of plantfood contained and used was
GA per cent greater.
This years tonnage includes T.
$4,000 tons sold by commercial
producers, $4,000 tons distributed
by IVA and 444,000 tons distribute
ed by AAA. The increase over 1889
amounted to $500 tons, with the
commercial industry accounting for
234,000 tons of the increase and the
Government agencies accounting for
the other 295,00O tons.
1t seems likely that another ton
mage increase is in store for next
year since tag sale figures for the
first four months of 1941 are per
cent over 1910.
Distribution of fertilizer by Gov
eminent agencies has been increas-
ing in quantity in recent years.
Tonnage ratio rose from practically
nothing in 1885 to 5.66 per cent Of
total consumption in 1910. The pro-
portion of plantfood used in 1910
accounted for by these two agencies
was 9.6S per cent, in contrast to
the 5.66 per cent of gross tonnage.

SUMMER FEEDING WILL In.
CREASE MILK SUPPLY

Diaries and defense" will be an
important farm motto during the
coming months as the U. S. Food for
defense program gains momentum,
says ]. 2. Miller, county agent for
Cecil Co.
He points out that the u. S.
urges dairy farmers to increase their
milk production by 6 to per cent
so as to make larger supplies avail
able for cheese, dried milk, evapor-
ated milk, and similar concentrated
dairy products needed both at home
and in the democracies across the
Atlantic. The Department hopes to
bring about most of this expansion
in the so-called surplus producing
areas which turn much of their milk
into evaporated milk and cheese.
Farmers can increase their dairy
production by more intensive feed
ing of COWS during the summer. To
protect farm prices during the per-
iod of expanded production, the
Government will support the dairy
market for period ending June 80,
1913, through purchases on the open
market.
The county agent does not advise
farmers to increase the size of their
herds greatly because of the expan-
sion program, since the Department
believes most of the extra milk
production can be brought about
through better feeding.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF
CITIZENSHIP
America "Grandest Conception OF
Government In History of
World,


America Is "the grandest con-
ception of Government ever known
to man., Governor O'Conor told a
group of new citizens assembled to
celebrate Il Am An American Day..
Through it,, Governor O'Conor
declared, Oppressed humanity was
restored to self-respect; under it,
man for the first time enjoyed the
rights to which he was by his very
nature entitled"
Calling for an appreciation of,
and rededication to, the ideals
of American Democracy, Governor
O'Conor continued, ITO be a real
American today, however, and to ac-
cept ones full responsibilities as
such, is admittedlya serious matter.
From the earliest days of our coun-
try's settlement, our ancestors have
been motivated by ideals--ideals of
liberty, of laudable ambition, of hat
red of oppression, ideals that all
add up to, and are best expressed by
the word Democracy. We must pre-
serve these ideals today!
"In the face of happenings of re-
cent months, it sometimes would ap-
pear that all that has been done i'm
this country in the interest of De-
mocracy, all the suffering, all the
travail, has been to little purpose
when, all about us, we see the divine
spark of freedom choked and throt-
tied, and the God-given rights of
man flouted and destroyed. Is all
the freedom that our forefathers
worked for, that our ancestors
bought for us at SO dear a price, is
all this will-of-the-wisp, a lie? Is
that equality among men of which
we have so proudly boosted to all
the world--is that merely a delusion?
The dictators would tell us so, but ]
for one cannot accept their version.
And 1 know full well that America
will never accept it.
"Ours is a peace-loving nation;
the citizens of America do not desire
war. They crave to live in peace and
concord with their fellow men and
women throughout the world and
are not jealousy seeking any pos
sessions of her sister nation. Inter
national peace and good will are in
tensely desired by our people. Amer
lea had enough of war twenty-years
ago and the loss, both in men and
property, is still being suffered.
0Ahnun oil cnnh
however, the pepole of America real
ize that there are things infinitely
worse than war. In fact, nearly all
of Europe today furnishes striking
example of this fact. Whether we
keep out of war, only the future will
say, but whatever comes I have
faith that the people of America
will shoulder their responsibilities
will put their heart and soul into
whatever efforts are demanded OF
them. l know that America values
it's freedom, its unique place among
the nations of the world, toe
thoroughly ever to permit them to
be taken from her.
'The future is uncertain, indeed
but if we face it with keen sense
of our responsibilities, new citizens
as well as old, we can find solution
to our problems. We can retain for
ourselves and for those to come af-
ter us, all that has made America
the great nation that it is, all that
makes life in America worthwhile"
