Vitarnin B-1 Essential
 ToGrowth, Well-Being
Caorie Consumption, Amount of Exercise Determine ing Factors for Good Health Says State NutritiOnist

pensive through the loss of so valu- able Q nutritive element. There is no loss of this vitamin in quick freezing but in cooking frozen pro- ducts there should be the same care in making use of the cooking liquid as was advised in the cooking of fresh foods. The same rule applies also to canned products where the loss is largely due to the solution of vitainin B1 in the liquid. For this reason, all the contents of the can, liquid and solid, should be used
 An adequate supply of vitamin B1 is essential to the life of every cell both plant and animal, according to Miss Nickerson. It is necessary for growth and plays an intimate part in cell metabolism. It is particular ly concerned with carbohydrate me- tabolism. Lack of vitamin B1 leads to functional disorders of muscles, nerves and digestive system. Loss of appetite may result in failure to eat enough food. This may lead to Q deficiency in other essential vitamins as well as vitamin B1.
 Miss Nickerson explained further that the body cells cannot manu- facture vitamin B1 nor can 1t be stored to any extent. This points to the need for including in the diet daily foods known to be the best sources of this vitamin. Plants can synthesize B1 where 1t Is stored in the seeds. Other parts of plants are not rich sources of thiamin. Thus, it is found that nuts, legumes and whole cereal grains of all kinds are the best sources of vitamin Bl. Of the meats, pork is the richest source of thiamin.
 Persons desiring more detailed in- formation about vitamins and nu- triton are invited to communicate with the State Department of Health in Hartford.

''The Child In The Family"

He Is content and happy if he is well, if he has parents and others to love and be loved by.
 Education begins in the home, where he learns to speak, to walk, to handle things, to play, to de- mand, to give, to experiment.
 Religious faith is inparted in the family long before he goes to church.
 Adventure and safety, content. ment and rebellion, cooperation, sharing self-reliance and mutual aids are family experiences.
 Giving the child food, shelter, and material security in general is a pri- mary task of the family. In the family there is opportunity also to teach the clements of personal hygiene, health, and the prevention of disease.

WORD BUILDING
 MAJOR EFFORT
Dr. Gilmartin Carries on Experiment in Grammar
 School Grades

Vocabulary building has become one of the major efforts in the ele- mentary schools of Waterbury, 1t is indicated in the annual Board of Education report issued recently by supt. of Schools Thomas J. Condon.
 Methods are varied in the sev- eral schools, and sometimes novel, as witness the case at Duggan School, where Miss Mary Grady, as- sistant principal writes the follow ing in connection with children vo- cabulary building:
 During the past five months our principal, Dr. John G. Gilmartin, has been experimenting with six different classes in vocabulary building. The grades selected were 8A, SC, 7B. 8B, SC, and the subnor- nal. Gater he will include the thirds and fourths) The results have been highly satisfactory.
 "The pupils bring to class on specified day each week two words which they met in their reading and which are outside their sphere of or dinary usage! The teacher then se- lects % from the collection and sends them to the principal"
 He in turn reduces the number to ten. which arc then incorporated into three or fouis sentences to show the different uses and meanings the words possess.
 AS an example of the type of eXer- else developed from this process, the word Vitalize, appearing in the eight grade list, soon becomes familiar to the pupils in its various forms as follows:
 "The question Is of VITAL im- portance.
 He received VITAL wound.
 His voice lacks VITALITY.
 Words give VITALITY to speech and conversation
 The talk VITALIZED the soldiers.
 Warm weather seems to DEVI- TALIZE me"

The vast majority of children are members of families. Their world. opens up in family, and they continue to spend most of the hours of the day in or about the home, even after school and play amtes have begun to claim large place in their thoughts and activi- ties. Home and family are the first condition of life for the child. They are first in importance for his growth, development and education.
 The child has food and shelter If his family has e home and provides food.

from meats, such as, liver, brain and muscle.
 In conclusion I wish to again stress the fact that mouth health is most important to the health of the child or adult. And as regards to diet I quote the noted dental au- thority, "E'at what you want after
 you eat what you should"

The actinic rays of the sun produce this vitamin in our bod les and since 1t is stored by the body, if the child is allowed to play in the sun during hte summer perhaps the daily dose of cod-liver oil is not needed, but during the winter some source of this vitamin should be given..
 Calcium is important for the proper formation of bones and teeth, and for the welfare of nerves and muscles. It has ben stated that 15% of the American diets were low in calcium. A sufficient supply of this mineral is very important, espe- cially in children, and is best ob- tained by drinking generous quan- ties of milk and eating green vege- tables.
 Phosphorus
 Phosphorus, which is neded for the development and maintenance of good bones and teeth, may be ob- tained from milk. egg yolk. fish, and

The daily requirement. of vitamin B1 (thiamin) needed to promote growth and health depends upon calorie consumption and amount of exercise, Elizabeth c. Nickerson, nutritionist, explains in the second of a series of articles on vitamins published in the monthly bulletin of the State Department of Health. The greater the exercise, the larger number of calorieS consumed, the more need for thiamin in the diet. Extra amounts should be supplied during growth, pregnancy and lac- tation.
 While vitamin B1 is available on the market in pure form and is fre- quently prescribed by physicians for pathological conditions, Miss Nick erson emphasized that the best way to meet daily requirements is to se- uect foods supplying liberal amounts of this vitamin. By using such foods as source of thiarnin other neces- sary clements are also secured proteins, important minerals and vitamins A and c as well as B1. A.inong the several food sources of B1 listed in the article. the fol- lowing daily food plan for supply Ing adequate amounts of this vitamin each day was suggested:
 CHILD
 1 quart of milk
 E cup of rolled oats
 1 orange
 1 egg
 6 slices whole wheat bread
 1 lamb chop
 i baked potato
 F cup fresh peas
 ADULT
 1 pint of milk
 1 shredded wheat biscuit
 E cup orange juice
 3 slices whole wheat bread
 pork chop
 1 baked potato
 Ia cup baked beans
 1 egg
 1 cup tomatoes
 As vitamin B1 is easily dissolved when fods are cooked in water, such foods should be steamed, or cooked In the smallest amount of water, and the cooking liquid used, as well. Example of this, Miss Nickerson clarified, would be stews and soups n which meat and vegetables are incorporated in one dish. Vitamin 5l Is quickly destroyed in an aka inc medium so the use of soda in cooking vegetables is discouraged t is not only destructive but ex-

 The two commanders, in recogni- ton of their outstanding services in the German peoples struggle for liberty, have been decorated with the Oak Leaf to the Knights Cross of the Iron Gross and together with their brave crews have won unfor- gettable laurels," the high command said. Part of teh crews, including Lieutenant Commander Kretschmer have been taken prisoners"
 More Enemy Shipping
 Berlin, April 25 - (UP) - A German warship operating in over seas waters has reported the sink. ing of an additional 30,000 tons ot enemy shipping, the German high command said today. The vessel previously had been credited with sinking 2o.000 tons of shipping.
 A high command communique said that German bombers last night again bombed the naval base at Portsmouth, England.
 The high command said that the German raid on Portsmouth caused big fires in harbor works which were visible at 6 great distance.
 Other air attacks were said to have been directed against military objectives on the east coast of Eng land.

a 150 per cent lunatic could imagine that Germany really intend to att tack the United States"
 Excerpts from the addresses of Secretary of State Cordel1 Hull and Secretary of Navy Frank Knox were published prominently in the news papers-in contrast to the frequent practice of ignoring speeches of American officials.
 The press described the speeches as the product of "Roosevelt's agita- ton machine"
 The Boersen zeitung said that Like Churchill in Britain, Roose- welt in the USA has now set his agi- tation machine going full speed"

Continued from Page 1 however, differed with him and said that actually the House could act on the nomination as well as the Senate, although in the former body 1t was not starred for action. Sen- ator Joseph P. Cooney and Rep. E. Lea Marsh both entered the discus sion and eventually Clerk Fitgpat- rick's viewpoint prevailed.
 It Was Confirmed
 The House having completed its slate of business 1t was then neces- gary to suspend the rules and on a voice vote the nomination of Judge McNiR was confirmed l72 to 13.
 The Senate shortly thereafter voted on the nomination and con- firmed 1t by a vote of 22 to 2, eleven senators being absent or not voting.
 High tribute was paid to Judge McNiff by Senator Blansfield and also Senator Joseph P. Cooney of Hartford who said that no more trib- ute for the Common Pleas Court judge could be asked than that of the Waterbury senator who had seen 8 $29,00O jury verdict he se- cured overruled by Judge McNiH, although the higher courts later up- held the jury verdict.
 A further complication developed when its was pointed out that the nomina ton had been sent to both tl1e Senate and the House, which is not customary. Ordinarily nonin- ation, requiring confirmation of both houses, will go either to the Senate or House and then move to the other house after action has been taken in one. The fact that there was no knowledge of the body in which the nomination should originate added to the general con- fusion prevailing.

 Message Sent By Willkie
 By coincidence, the ministry of information released at last today the text of the message which Pres- ident Roosevelt sent to Prime Min- ister Winston Churchill by Wendell L. Willkie when the Republican presidential candidate visited Lon- don.
 It ended rumors of a politically sensational document but slowed a graceful tribute by the president to Willkie:
 The White House Washington Jan. 20, 194l. Dear Churchill:--
 Wendell Willkie will give you this he Is truly helping to keep pol- itics out over here.
 I think that this verse applies to your people as 1t does to us:
 Sal on, ship of state!
 Sail on, o union strong and greatl
 Humanity with all its fears, With all the hopes of future years, Is hanging breathless on thy fate!' "AS ever yours Franklin D. Roosevelt" !"
 '.The original of this historic doc- ument has now been reproduced in facsimile and in the bold hand writing of the president" the min- istry said in releasing 1t. The verse is that of Henry w. Iongfellow.
