 SugarShOrtage

Springfield, Mass, March 26-A Save Sugar" campaign Is to be launched by the New York and New England Apple Institute. Con- sumption of more fruit, vegetables and milk is to be urged as a sub- stitute for sugar.
 "Nutritionists have been telling us for years that we have been con- stunning too much sugar and I be- lieve that we can reduce our sugar intake and improve our health, John Chandler of Sterling Junction, Macs, Institute president, told di- rectors at their March meeting at the Federal Land bank.
 F. stuart Hubbard of Pough- keepsie, ". Y., chairman of the In- stitutes Education committee, said a return to "the food of our fathers would make us healthier, happier and reduce our waist lines" He said apples contain natural sugars, minerals, vitamins and "roughage" which the human system needs.
 "Whether we like it or not we are going to get along on less sugar and as a result I think the Amer ican people are going to be a lot better off as Q result" said Chand- Ter. Directors agreed to jcin with

Some persons may think sugar ra- tionlng Is q hardship, but we feel that it will prove to Do a great thing for public health. Apples, cabbage and many other farm pro. duets which are produced 60 abundantly in the northeast, along with our great Suply Of pure milk, can provide Q great share of bodily energy"
