Like clothing, food in the summer
time has much to do about keeping
one from being knocked out, figura-
lively or actually.
Don't eat so much ''heavy"
food even though you do have
to eat plenty of food, either be-
cause Of your job, or your
nature. "Eat but little, but often"
holds more true for summer
time than any time of the year.
That ''little, but often" holds for
the so-called light foods which you
see advertised in your grocery, meat
shop, fruit store and delicatessen.
In the summertime is when "acid
conditions" get you quicker than
any other season. It is such a con-
dition which affects you both in your
ability to work, and capabilities of

you combat the heat waves. COM
bine this with the basic aid Of for
getting the temperature, and you'll
be well on the way to whipping those
red hot, midsummer blues"
True, you can't do much about
lowering the sizzling temperature.
You can do a number of things to
help keep yourself cool as you go
through your daily routine.
For instance, the first thing to
remember to do is to "dress cool"
Don't wear heavy, tight fitting
clothing.
Clothing has been devised-from
the time when animal pelts were
the style both for man, woman
and grown-up children-as protec-
ton from the elements whether
sun, rain, snow, sleet or biting wind.
Don't use winter style of dressing
for the summertime. Shed some of
those clothes!
You ladies who are handy
with the scissors, needle and
thread can whip together some
dandy summer work, play or
'svisiting" dresses easily enough
these days. There is still plenty
of dress material to be had.
Ready-made dresses are also plen-
tiful, and reasonably priced, too.
Take a look at your favorite store.
You'll see both plenty of dresses,
and material to make them.
There is no reason, either, why
the men, young and old, shouldn't
be dressed to combat the heat. Many
men, when asked why they are
dressed so "hot" in the summer
time, usually give an answer which
seems to suggest they ''hadn't
thought about it, or ''were too
busy" to do anything about it. Mean
while they continue working with
the sweat rolling down their tenn
pies.
Men are slow in changing to new,
even a more comfortable style of
clothing. Those that aren't so con-
servative aren't getting showed
around by the heat this year like
their more backward brethren are.
They were more willing--i.e., the
married men, the fathers-to see
their daughters going around in
shorts, rather than themselves.
When really it was the men, not the
women that needed them!
Maybe, when shortages in cloth,
dress goods begins to appear, which
it hasn't, as yet, it will be the
usual thing for the men to be wear
ing them. What difference does it
make whether they are worn driving

They, too, are the ones who should
be reminded that what they for
merly used to do, ''just to help Out"
shouldn't be done in the hot weather.
For there is debilitating effect Of
the sun quickly noticeable on the
aged and weak.
One of the pleasures of the sum-
mer months are the outdoor picnics,
the family reunions, the parties and
fishing trips both for the youngsters
and the grownups.
Although rubber restrictions
will cut down on many of the
long auto trips on such picnics
and outdoor excursions, it won't

ingenious-cut down on the out
ings held in the nearby woods,
or even in the side, or back.
It is on such picnics, and side-yard
excursions that real summer time
meals, old style "Dutch Lunches
can be served. Meals having sal
ads, cold cuts, cheeses, lemonade,
iced-tea, iced-coffee, and other fruit
Juice drinks.
The little extra equipment needed
for such meals that break the
monotony of eating indoors all the
time is available at any of the local
retail stores. It used to be during
the not far past days that it was
thought necessary to travel Is to 30
miles to a favorite picnic spot.
There there would be the steak fry
on the fire pits, or the weiner roast.
Today, with plenty of room avail
able, alongside or behind the house.
or in the field or woods near home,
there is no reason why similar "pic-
nic'' equipment isn't available. The
war hasn't stopped, in fact, couldn't
stop, American ingenuity.
Many times, too, in the desire to
cool off there were long trips to
distant pools, or ''favorite' spots on
lakes and rivers. Today, when ra-
tioning has stopped that there is
no reason why the shower equip
ment at home shouldn't be given an
extra workout.
You know, just because it used
to be only the kids who had a good
time with the outdoor shower is no
reason why you couldn't enjoy one,
too. Of course if you dislike the
idea of initiating the kids and en-
joying the whirling spray, why not
rig up an outfit for you and the rest
of the older persons.
Such an outfit could be dropped

This war has brought the pe0-

Common sense will take care of

That which can't be taken care of

This summer has seen, and will
continue seeing until the days cool
off, plenty of local picnics in which
various successful means to COM

You can do more about taking
care of the heat by actually doing
something to counteract the effects
of it. Talking about the weather,

 This method has been thorough ly discredited because it is unfair to every interest, but most of all to the Government. It places premium upon incompetence and inefficiency. It might easily be the heavy hand which would cost more than 1t would gain in taxes.
 A second proposal is that the Gov ernment should require companies entering into war contracts to ac- cept stipulation that 1t had the right, at any time, to reopen the con- tract and to renegotiate its prices on the basis of what Government Bur- eaus determined were reasonable costs in each instance.

Good Decision

Everyone seems to be pretty well con- Vinced that Gov. Robert A. Hurley did the right thing in reappointing Walter Perry to fill out his unexpired term as State Bank Commissioner. Returned au- tomatically recently because of reaching the age limit MT. Perry was promptly named by the governor to continue in office. Under statutory provisions the governor was within his rights in so do- ing. But under the rights of good, com nonsense he was more or less obliged to rename the commissioner.
 There would have been endless con- fusion attendant on conduct of a number of closed banks in Connecticut had MT. Perry been allowed to be retired As re- Ceiver for some sixteen institutions MT. Perry had to be approved by judges of the superior court, each individual action consuming considerable time and involv ing varying amounts of official proceed ure. To relieve him of the same duties would have been just as prolonged and by the time it was all over any amount Of irreparable damage could easily have been done.
 But over and above this consideration we think that Com. Perry deserved to be retained because he has certainly con- ducted his office in a dignified and bus inesslike manner He is liked and re- Spected in the banking profession. His office and the banks of the state work in cooperative manner. The public is pro- tected. So in view of the fact that MT. Perry was able and willing to continue 1t would have been foolish to sacrifice his services.
