At noon, when he came IN for
dinner. a radio was going some
where. Perhaps 1t was In the
buffers private domain. Hunter
listened. his attention caught by
the theme song of the Ballard

 Food is ammunition, too, and every housewife has certain ines- capable responsibilities which can not be Shirked any more than can the duties of the American boys on the fighting fronts. Housewives be- gin hoarding usually because, beset by rising prices and rumors of short ages and imminent price jumps, they kegin. however involuntarily, to play the game of 'rumoritis.'

ATTACK PLANNED. ON RUMORITIS'.
Panic Buying Scored by State Defense Council
 Consumers Help Sought

Hartford, March 25.-Launching 8 full-fledged attack on hoarding, panic buying and "rumoritis," the consumer committee of the State Defense Council today called upon Connecticut's housewives to help win the war on the home front and to remember that flood is ammuni- tion, too"
 The committees chairman, Prof. Wesley A. Stllrges, of the Yale Law school, announced that 100000 cir culars urging Mrs, Consumer" to 'stop buying blindly" are being sent to local committee chairmen in nearly 100 towns and cities and that thousands of posters warning that "Hoading Helps Hitler and Hiro- hito and Hurts Your Neighbor" are being distributed.
 Quotas allocated to the various communities have been packaged in New Haven, and the Red Cross Motor Corps is handling deliveries to key distribution centers through out the state. In New Haven, 12 Girl Scout troops are taking over from that point and in the Hart ford area house-to-house placement of circulars is being carried out by the agents of several insurance companies
 Both the federal government and the state government have recog- nized the vital part that consumer

.CH|LDREN'S CARE
 ACUTE PROBLEM.
Variety of Arrangements to Meet Situation Neces-
 sary Claims Doctor

Arrangements for foster day care Of an increasing number of children whose mothers are employed in in- | dustry should take into considera- ton all factors which will help these children come through the emer- gency as emotionally stable and re- sponsible individuals, said James M. Cunningham, M. D., director, bureau of mental hygiene, in the weekly broadcast of the state department of health. It is expected that most children needing substitute parental supervision will be cared for in groups through the cooperation of schools, nursery schools, settlement houses and recreational agencies. Children under two years of age, however, are too young for group care, except in special institutions equipped to care for infants.
 During blackouts, air raids and evacuations 1t is especially impor- tant that those in charge of chil- dren remain calm and cheerful, Doctor Cunningham said. Anxiety or worry shown by adults is irnme- diately transmitted to children, and the whole group may became upset. When adults are calm, children show a minimum of fear and often set about voluntary tasks for the protection and comfort of the group.
 Give older children some respon- sibility during such emergencies avJ ok athay tir1ac ~aany1V1eS1 Doctor Cunningham. Children like to contribute toward the war effort. Responsibility furnishes them val- uable emotional satisfaction.
 Although many people try to dis courage children from playing war games, the British have discovered for the most part that those are beneficial means of releasing ten- sion, according to Doctor Cum ningham. Questions about the war should be answered truthfully, without unnecessary detail. Avoid ance of such questions as evasive answers tend to increase a child's anxiety. Children are wondering what may happen to father, moth- CT, brothers and sisters and them selves. Their ideas ard habits of reaction are based on past experi- ences. Their whole security has been tied up with the family, and any threat to this security pro vokeS worry.
 As the expansion of industrial | production takes place, and as more men are drafted into the military l services, we may expect the prob lem of care of children to become more acute, Doctor Cunningham pointed out. It is probable that a variety of arrangements may have to be made to meet the situation. | Those who volunteer for this Serv- ice will be making patriotic con- tribution to the future of our so- ciety. Strenuous efforts also should be made to keep mothers of chil- dren under two years of age at I home.
