New Century Club Notes

r p 7 "a
The subject Of consumers prob
lens was ably taken care of by
Kenneth w. Baker of the Univer-
sity of Delaware Extension Ser
vice and Maurice Carrow of Dover,
who talked before the members Of
the Milford New Century Club on
Monday. The chairman for the
meeting was Mrs. Herman Phillips,
who invited these gentlemen to be
the guest speakers for the after
noon. Also appearing on the pro-
gram was William Day of the
Nescafe Company, who demon
strated the product. Mr.. Baker
spoke of Delaware as having an
abundance all of the protective
foods-milk, dairy products. poul-
try, eggs and fruits-in ordinary
times, but as defense measure,
every means should be used for
more production OF these things so
that they may be shared with those
needing them. Mr.. Baker recon-
mended increased production, pick
up of industry and more purchas-
ing power. Citing England's pres
ent position, he said that recent
survey had revealed the fact that
if there was food enough, there
would be a twenty per cent. in
crease in production in that coun-
try. A plea for regular habits.
physically and mentally; careful
buying for health, and a careful
watch by consumers to prevent
waste was made by Mr.. Baker.
Mr.. Carrow, speaking from the
salesman angle, said that the
health of all citizens is of public
concern, and he regretted the re-
lection of so many men in the
present draft. Unbalanced diet and
malnutrition were causes Mr.. Car
row listed. He recommended that
varied products of improved quail
ity be the homemaker's aid for her
family. Government regulations
have been helpful, in that labels
must carry the weight and con-
tents of container, said Mr.. Car
row. Mr.. Day served the mem
bers with Nescafe after the meet
ing. This was an informative
meeting and was well attended.
