A LETTER

Excerpts from letter received
by Miss Anna B. Beckett from Sgt
Lloyd A. Pleasanton, son of Mr.
and Mrs. William Pleasanton, Scho-
field Barracks, Hawaii:
Today a large subject is facing us
and we must face it.
L have seen bombs fall and bull
lets rattle. 1 hope it never hap
pens on our home shores.
But summing it all up, one
Yankee, 1 feel, is as good as any
ten of our peace-breaking enemies
Some, I hear, seem to think it is
to be a long, hand war, but when
Uncle Sam rolls up his sleeves and
starts, it can't last very long.
1 have had several copies of "The
Smyrna Times" since 1 have been
here, and each copy told of the
good work the Red Cross is doing.
The Red Cross in my estimation is
a fine organization and worthy OF
all the praise that can be given it.
Please ask the people of Smyrna to
continue the good work.
If you can find time, I would ap-
preciate it very much if you would
write me a letter or postcard
Thank you.

The
What Not Shelf

A rip-snortin' case of the grippe
had us horizontal last week, so this
column was as empty as our legs
feel right now!
The test mobilization last week
was not without humor. Police
Officer Heinold, sent to Loose's
Store to ARREST" a "robber," turn
ed around at the stand pipe, thus
driving thru an area marked off for
a ''bomb crater" The policeman
and the robber had to be reported
as killed.
Then there was member of the
fire company who was a"casualty."
He was taken, in the ambulance to
the Welfare Home, where he was
pronounced dead" Much to his
disgust, he was brought back to
town and left in Wells FAIRIES
morgue, where he stayed during all
the ensuing activity.

We wish to congratulate the edi-
tors of the new school newspaper,
'The Spitfire" on their splendid
first issue, and to thank them for
sending to us the first copy off the
press, We shall put it among our
treasures.
/ Bob Jacobs, Helen Pleasanton
and Lloyd Johnson, all three of
whom have unquestionable writ
| ing ability, have had the resource
fulness to start printing their own
little newspaper, weekly which
will sell for cents a copy, and
which will give the news and views
of the younger set.
The kids are really serious about
it. They have a newsy, poppy lit
tie sheet, showing results of long
work and careful planning. They
deserve considerable credit for
choosing as a hobby something that
may prove to be invaluable to them
later on.
Here's good luck to The Spitfire-
and may it grow in circulation and
have long and interesting life.
March is running true to form
this year. Wind and hail and snow
and bright sun-all within a day.

erous and useful articles.
In full support of the Smyrna
Board of Education, the Smyrna
Civilian Defense Council strongly
urges that all students of the John
Bassett Moore High School, wear
the identification discs as supplied
recently by the school authorities.
These discs were issued under the
direct supervision of George w.
Wright, Assistant Superintendent
of the school. Since the discs will
serve logical defense purpose,
parents of students should insist
upon their children's observance of
this school ruling.
Residents of Smyrna are now be-
ing asked to more strictly conform
with the Smyrna Civilian Defense
Councils request concerning the
use of their telephones during the
period when an Air Raid Warning
signal is in effect. During the per-
iod of an Air Raid, and immediate
ly following, is a most critical time.
That is when telephone calls for
help are most important. If the
telephone lines are crowded with
other calls, the emergency calls
which may well mean life or death,
may not get through. Phone SUBJ
scribers should please remember,
do not use the telephone during an
Ar Raid, or for at least half hour
afterwards, except to call for Doc
tors, Police or Firemen. This is
vitality important, both for the pro-
lection of the individual resident,
and the whole community.
Favorable comments have been
made by Mayor Roy F. Corley,
chairman, Smyrna Civilian Defense
Council, on the mobilization and po-
sition test held by the local Civilian
Defense Group, last Thursday even
ing, March 5th. Other members
of the Defense Group who have ex-
pressed their favorable opinions are

and Co-ordinator; Chief ]. w.

Little David Deakyne was awful

blue. In fact he was whole Rhap-

Thelma was entertaining COM

David in his best bib and tucker,
including a brand new pair of white
shoes.
Well, you know how it is. Sup
pos you were three, and a bunch of
old "fuddy-duddies" just sat and
talked about a lot of silly things
that didn't interest you in the
slightest. You might go exploring
thru the house too.
And if your Daddy happens to be
a Doctor-what wonderful possibil-
tiles his office has to offer. So you
explore to your hearts content.
Then you discover pretty blue
bottle, and in getting it open, some
of it spills on your feet-on the
new white shoes. Pretty, isn't it :?
Rubbed over the hands and arms, it
gives startling and pleasing ap-

to the suit, you discover that too
becomes an interesting design in
blue.
Oh-oh! Guess you've been too
quiet. Here comes Mama.
And then, after you have been

the ball rolling.
If some middle-aged "girl,," of
portly girth and unquestionable

of timid persons would have pur-
chased bicycles and followed suit.

BY some miracle, we got up to
Wilmington to see the Ballet Russo.
After two weeks of pills, beds, and
paper handkerchiefs, the future
looked dark and foreboding, and
anything more strenuous than
strolling around the bedchamber
seemed quite impossible. Somebody,
when we were ill, removed both our
legs, and left two poached eggs in
their place!
At any rate, the Ballet was
good tonic. With flowing grace,
precision of movement, and exquis-

and solo artists wove into one SPELL

Gone are the days when we could
afford the luxury Of too many
pounds and all the rich food and
soft indulgence which lead to them!
Actually, overweight and muscular
laxness never were luxuries. The
self-indulgences and lazy ways
which caused them never made up
for the loss Of a lovely figure, for the
"feel" of smoothly functioning,
elastic and vital body nor for the
extra margin of energydwhich makes
life swing along at happy pace!
However, if you preferred riding
to walking, pastries and rich sauces
to- svelte silhouet, and lowered
energy to self-discipline, that was
your right in days past. Now we no
longer have the right to a choice.
Virtually every woman in this coun-
try is being called upon for an extra
output Of energy. All Of us are
doing twice what we did in prewar
days.
We also are being warned by our
leaders that we civilians still fail to
realize the sacrifices we will be called
upon to make to win this war. AS
time goes on more and more Of us
will be asked for a greater output Of
energy and for less and less self
indulgence. We cannot meet this
call unless we are In a state of fine
physical health.
Softness of the past, both in body
and mind, will have to give way to
the tone and f1rmness Of the present.
A strong abdominal wall is a
source Of health as well as beauty to
q woman. Specialized exercise, done
daily, will strengthen it as well as
reduce the measurement Of the
stomach. Here IS q good one. Stand

Be Certain Your
Baby Has the
: Proper ! Diet
!. IMdy Not Needed
! Hills Meats Are
Well Balanced
By Leffice Lee Street,

By Leftice Lee Street,
Dear Mrs. STREET.: My little girl,
aged 1a years, eats hardly any
sugar, only a little candy every day.
She doesn't eat much of anything
except her milk, about one quart.
She doesn't like custards, but enjoys
fruits and jello. Does she get enough
sugar in fruits? I have never en-
couraged her to eat sweets, but my
mother thinks that if she should
ever get pneumonia that she wouldn't
have enough sugar in the body to
combat it. Is that necessarily true?
I don't want to encourage her to
be a diabetic, either. She never
did have very big appetite, and
I don't give her oleum percomor-
phum any more because my husband
insists that may have been the
reason for her lack of appetite. You
will probably ask why don't consult
a doctor. My doctor retired and the
doctor changed to is fine surgeon
but has had very little child prac-
tice. Sincerely,
MRS. F. B.
Answer-It is plain that you are
a devoted mother keenly interested
in feeding your family proper foods,
but where on earth did you, your
husband and your mother collect
such a raft of misinformation? In
the first place, an 18-months-old
baby should not eat candy and too
many sweets. Your little girl will
get plenty Of carbohydrate (sweets
and starches) if you give her the
well-balanced meals she requires to
stay healthy and to gain weight. Put
out of your mind all these strange
ideas about combating pneumonia
and encouraging diabetes Your hus-
band is 100 per cent wrong In insist
ing that you take your little girl of
of the cod liver oil that she posi-
lively must have. Please start CIV
ing her cod liver oil or a concen-
trate at once. You see, growing chill
dren must have vitamin D every day
If they are to develop strong, straight
bones, and this vitamin, so precious
and essential to the growth OF the
young, is richly found In the hvers
Of the cod and halibut.
PROPER DIET.
Here is a proper daily diet for
your baby:
quart Of milk.
3 to 4 tablespoons cooked whole
wheat cereal with a little sugar and
milk, or butter and salt.
| l egg, poached,. soft boiled or
coddled.
slice crisp bacon.
Broth, meat and vegetable. 2 to 4
o., or scraped meat, such as beef.
lamb, calls liver or chicken, boiled
fish.
2 green vegetables.
| l starch vegetable.
/ simple dessert.
| stewed fruit.
Bread and butter or crackers,
orange juice or tomato juice and cod
liver oil. Water between meals =
nothing else. a.
l want you to flnd a pediatrician,
or take your little daughter to q
children's clinic, because q surgeon
is not likely to have had training
and practice in pediatrics. In the
meantime, do not try to diagnose
your child's troubles yourself, do not
fancy yourself as q skilled dietician
who can try unusual and compli-
Gated methods Of feeding q baby
Instead. take your little lass for
complete examination, listen to the
doctors advice, and feed her .
wholesome, regular diet every single
. day.
