Dairy Month Brings
 New Meaning To us,
June to Be Nationally Observed in Interest of Better Health; Increased Use of Milk Urged By Authorities

June, as Dairy Month, calls at- tention to the health benefits result ing from an increased use of milk, Milk is one of the protective foods that each member of every family needs daily. Without milk in the diet. 1t is difficult to secure oil the calcium needed for the development and health of teeth at all ages. se- lective service figures indicate that too large . proportion Of our youth has failed 10 take advantage of the health benefits to be derived from milk and other protective foods.
 All communities should observe Dairy Month by making sure that their local regulations for produce ton of q safe milk supply conform to accepted standards and that all herds are tested for tuberculosis and Bangs disease. As 6 double health safeguard efforts should be made to extend the use of milk which has been pasteurized. in ad- dition, every community should sec to it that the health value of milk for young and old is brought to the attention of the people and they should be encouraged to increase their consumption of milk in order to receive its health benefits"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-05-31

For q number of years June has been designated as Dairy Month and in lDli 1t has unusual signifi- canoe to all those concerned with public health.
 The Nutrition Conference called by President Roosevelt in Washing ton this week is indicative of the national scope of the problem cor- fronting the United States in pre- pairing ourselves for national de. fenso through better nutrition. The facts compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture are that we need to consume 20 per cent more milk, IS per cent more butter. 90 per cent more eggs, 70 per cent more tomatoes and citrus fruit, and 100 per cent more leafy, green and vel. low vegetables.
 The endorsement of Dairy Month by pr. Stanley IT. osborn, state commissioner of health, Is a defense measure to which every American should give attention. pr. Osborn states:
 "'rhe health of the people of Con- necticut is our greatest concern. Any effort to improve health by obscrv. ance of evch one factor such as the use of more milk meets with my hearty approval.

Memorial Day Speakers Emphasize Need of Unity Pre- paredness in United States; Young Orators
 Guests at Luncheon

A holiday air still prevailed to- day as thousands of workers en- joyed another day away from their duties after celebrating Memorial day yesterday. State highways were again lined with cars carrying per. sons to and from shore, lake and mountain resorts, and trains and busseg Ngain were crowded with passengers. Warmer weather than yesterday was in order.
 The Memorial day celebration yesterday included the annual par- Rde and several commemorative serv- lees, along with radio program in which heads oi several veterans or- Eanizatlons took part. One of the memorial services was that of the East End Community club, held last night at the Hamilton park pavilion.
 Speaking at the Honor Roll yes- terday, Judge Patrick Healey de- clared that there can be no differ snce of opinion and no disunity on the question of preserving the dem- Ucratic way of life. America is ready lo fight again, he said, If that way 6 life is threatened.
 The need for adequate defense at all times was stressed by Com snander Joseph Hackett of Corp. Coyle post. American Legion, dur ing the veterans broadcast. Other speakers were John J. Mulligan, past state commander ot the D. A. V., William Schooner, past com. cander of Wheeler Young post, V. r. w., and Rudolph Hennlck, state commander of the Jewish War Veterans.
 Prize winners in the annual school childrenS contest took part in the program. They were Joan Monaga1 of Kingsbury school and Robert Merlsle of Bunker Till school. These two were guests ct luncheon ct the armory yesterday along with the following prize winners: Norman FallstroiM of Washington school, Charmaine Dupe of ss. Peter and

Readers of The Washington Mer- ry-Qo- Round made some interest- ing comparisons between President Roosevelts recent historic fireside chat and Q recent column by Drew Pearson and Robert 8. Allen.
 One striking passage in the Pres- ident's speech was his reference to the step-by -step process by which Hitler had conquered Europe. "rhc attack on Czechoslovakia," he said, "began with the conquest of Aus tria, The attack on Norway began with the occupation Of Denmark, The occupation of Greece began with the occupation of Rumania and Bulgaria. The occupation of the United States can begin with any base to the north or south In the Western Hemisphere"

PATRONAGE IS
 STILL PROBLEM

Hartford, Conn, May 3i-(UP)-- The patronage problem remained deadlocked as the Legislature mot today for It's first Saturday session and hurried through n heavy dock. ct to clear the way for adjournment next Wednesday.
 Tho assembly also held It's first night sessions last night, but Suc- ceeded only in disposing of q num- Dor of minor bills. No agreement could be reached as to the make- up of the minor courts, and 1t was feared that the judgeship appoint- mentS might be carried over until the final day unless some agree. ment could be reached during the week end.
 Today was the deadlinc for sub mittlng nominations to the supe- rior court, and the governor had two such nominations to make. It was expected they would be diyid- cd by Democrats and Republicans, appointment of three new common pleas Judges also were being held up, pending disposition of Q bill reorganizing the common pleas courts.

At exercises at West cemetery, Acting Mayor James Casey had the officers name listed among those veterans who had died during the past year and earlier, tho acting mayor had the flag at City Hall placed at half staff. All at the exercises stood for ono min ute of silent. prayer for the dead oiflcer at the Acting mayors request
 Former Mayor Joseph Y. Dutton, speaking at the Memorial Day din- iier of the Women's Relief Corps also paid tribute to Policeman Burns, saying.
 "Ever since oiiicer Burns re- turned from the Mexican Border with old Company D Of the Con- necticut National Guard, he had always sounded taps at the conclu. sion of he city's annual Memorial Day services. Taps were sounded today, but his bugle was silent The taps were sounded for him as a man who was truly martyr and who died in the line Of duty" At this gathering also a minute of sl- lent prayer for the officer was given.

METER RECEIPTS. EXCEED S1O,OOO
Approximately 7SO Now in Service Here Controller
 COnlOn Reports

A reply to one of the queries con- tained in the interrogatory filed by Attorney Lawrence |. Lewis in CoHn- mon Pleas Court this week, in con- nection with his request for an ir- junction, restraining the city from the use of parking meters, was forthcoming yesterday.
 Controller Thomas M. Conlon disclosed that receipts of $i0,3i208 have been derived from this source since their installation Ave months ago.
 This information has been ready for nearly two weeks, the controller said, and had been prepared at the request of a representative of John II. Cassidy, plaintiff in the case.
 It was originally intended to in- stall 1900 meters, but up to the pres- ent time there are approximately 750 in service. For this reason pre- vious estimates as to returns were far In excess of what has been acc tually taken in.
 A question in the Cassidy motion concerns the destination of meter receipts, whether they are placed in general city funds, or whether they are set aside in Q special city fund -marked expressly for that purpose.
 Controller Conlan's explanation was that income Is deposited in the general fund, but is credited to an Item of $70,0o0 In the budget, listed as revenue from miscellaneous sources. The amount represents the original estimate made of the prob- able amount of income from meters.
 An agreement with the Rhodes Co.,, makers of the meters, calls for 70 per cent of meter receipts, money which is applied toward the pur- chase price.
 The remaining 26 per cent rec mains in the city treasury.
