what they have learned into prac-
tice. About rs per cent Of the popu-
lation of the United States is i'm
properly nourished. she added.
Mrs. Grant pointed out that one
third Of the young men rejected by
selective service boards were re-
jected for conditions directly or in
directly identified with malnutrition.
Observing that many OF these men
suffered because they were improp-
erly fed during their infancy in the
World War and during their youth in
the depression, Mrs. Grant warned
that conditions prevailing during
those two periods must not be al
lowed to recur during the present
emergency.
Cites Rising Prices.
In this connection Mrs. Grant ex-
pressed concern over the fact that
retail prices Of essential foods are
rising.
The District today is in need of q
food stamp plan" Of the sort sue
cessfully established in many other
communities, she said. Other local
needs stressed by the speaker were
a broadened scent milk program
for needy families and 1-cent
school milk program.
