Northumberland Now Boris

The pancky flight Of King Boris III
from his capital, Sofia recalls that Bull
garia was the first entente nation TO
capitulate in 1918 Boris reign dates, in
fact, from the abdcation of his father,
Ferdinand on October 5 of that year.
That was Is days before Germany accept
ed President Wilson's peace terms and Is
days before Turkey started the real
entente breakup. This "Reminiscences
should not be given too much weight In
1918 Bulgaria was rat deserving ship
whose crew from Master Wilhelm down,
knew that the end had come. The same
could be said now, perhaps. But this time
Bulgaria was pulled into the war; against
popular will or at least without popu-
lar demand -- by a combination of fineSSe
and force Her people were at the best
reluctant allies of Nazi Germany, and
the demonstrations that frightened Boris
into flight may we'll be the trueSt express
sions OF popular sentiment since Reich
soldiery took over the nations airfeldS,
seaport and capital in early l941 and
obtained her signature to the Axis pact.
Bulgaria never had much of an army
about 10000 men in uniform, poorly
equipped and without trained reserves.
Her countryside is level enough to be
almost battle-ground for Nazi mechan-
lied units AS the war was going in
March of 1941, she could see little hope
in resisting. Moreover, Bulgaria was
lured into the Axis camp by promises
already partially fulfilled. Having
guessed wrong in 1914, after World War
l, Bulgaria lost territory to Rumania,
Greece and Serbia. When Hitler took
over Rumania in 1910 he permitted Bull
garia to reclaim her lost provinces from
that vaSsal. After the fall of Greece the
Reich made good on more of its commit
ments by letting Boris take back Mace
donia from JugoSlavia enlarged Serbia
and Thrace from Greece.
But Hitler used Bulgaria, otherwise,
just as he used other satellite countries
He took its raw materials, the products
Of its factories, the fruits of its fields, for
German use. He put its soldiers in sui
eide corners against Russia, with whom
Bulgaria had no quarrel. Then, recently
he assigned to Bulgaria part of the task
of stopping allied invasion through the
Balkans. The very fact that the German
superman had to ask little Bulgaria to
help keep Anglo-Americans out of the
Reich probably was the Balkan tipoff
that the Axis days are numbered. Though
Hitler probably will make short work of
the current demonstrations, he has OPP
portunity to see what will happen in
country after country once we establish
bridgehead on the European CONT

In the Navy at Sampson

The growth of the Army and Navy and
the expansion in camps on the home front
are something TO marvel at, In the past
year or more we have learned of places
that previously were unknown to us. All
this because of the setting up OF
camps and training schools in insignifi-
cant towns and we'll off the beaten path.
Our geography is now more or less de-
termined by the location of well known
camps and not we'll known cities and
towns of a previous day.
This week our attention was called to
the largest and most modern naval train
ing station in the world. Thi5 is at
Sampson, N. Y. No, we never heard OF
Sampson before either. Well it is in the
ing station of $500 acres is along the
eastern shore of Seneca Lake, which is
largest of the Finger Lakes. Our knoWl-
edge of naval localities was more or less
consigned to Annapolis or San Diego
Sampson however is a city of $4,000, so
is not so insignificant, but it is a war
born city and its growth has been result
of the choice Of this territory filled with
Indian lore as the site for this gigantic
training station.
More than that we did not know. The
place, Sampson was named for Rear
Admiral william Thomas Sampson, hero
of the battle of Santiago in the Spanish
American war. The place is run by navy
veterans, and is completely equipped
from swimming pool to library. Certain
ly this navy city, sampson, located in the
heart Of old Indian country, must be
sight worth seeing

Need for Nurses

The shortage OF nurses has been
worry for some time, Hospitals are hard
put to have sufficient supply. Nurses
aides have been great help in routine
hospital assistance but there is still a
definite shortage All those who have
time 90 spare are strongly urged to Join
nurses aid and home nursing courses,
also TO sign up at hospitals in their COM
munitieS for what is termed volunteer
work" This last named work does not
consider any care of patients, but a hos
pital affords many duties that do not
include patient care.
The profession nov if never before
needs additional nurses, and Is recon-
mended for young women who are about
TO consider a life career We noted in
the news yesterday that st. Joseph College
in cooperation with st. Francis Hospital
IN Hartford is planning four-year
course in nursing to start June q. Dean
Rosa Of the college stated that bachelor
OF science degree III nursing will be given
to all students who complete the course,
the first two years spent at st, Joseph,
the last two at ST. Francis Hospital
School Of Nursing.
Courses such as these should be an
Involvement TO those who wish TO acquire
an education in the cultural subjects,

religion and so on, as well as the practical

Have you converted to coal at your
house? Good, because now you don't
need to. The vote was 44-29 in the Sen
ate. One of the main reasons is that the
conversion by commercial buildings will
save enough of the oil supply to allow
private home jewellers to continue in oil.
Also there would have been tremend-
Gus task in deciding on the convertibll,,
ity of individual oil burners The revised
conversion will also apply to boarding
houses, hotels, theaters, and so on in some
areas. So far so good on the question OF

The drafting Of high school and prep

summer is good thing. 1t will keep
them occupied, gainfully, for the sum-

sadly in need of workers. This summer
will be, perhaps, one OF the worst OF al
time as regards help on the farm. the
drafting of men for the armed forces mas
been so far reaching that farms along
with so many other businesses are abso-

considerable farm work that has to be
handled and done by experienced help,

THE FOURTEENTH VITAMIN
Hartford Courant)

(Hartford COurant)
The current issue of Science an
nounceS that the research staff Of
the well-known pharmaceutical
house of Parke, Davis e. Company
has made discovery that may
bring comfort to thousands OF
sufferers from anemic diseases.
These scientists have succeeded in
isolating and tipping the anti
anemic Vitamin Be and in raising
the anti-anemic Vitamin Be and in
raising the potency of the new
crystalline product five hundred
thousandfold above the antianemic
activity present in fresh liver, the
anti-anemic properties of which
have long been recognized by physi-
clans.
The existence of this new
vitamin, fourteenth in the aris-
tocratic family of those good
little "fremlin," about whom
as yet we know so little, was
first made known by Professor A
G.. Hogan and his associates at the
University OF Missouri. Their dis
covery was based on the obServa-
ton OF thousands of chicks, which
placed on a supposedly sufficient
diet, nevertheless suffered severe
anemia and hence retarded growth

ing fills him with SENSE of hope
and conviction which we may well
call happiness.
Because the world is doing so much
today to make us unhappy, this
appears to be an opport(ne time
to open our hearts to the things of
God, which are designed to make
us happy. There is a reason why
in times of war men and women
seek the consolation of the church.
They Go this not just because they
want comfort in sorrow, but because
they believe that Christian faith
is a thing of such light, JOY, power,
and inspiration that it will lift
them up and cause them to see
their anxietieS and sorrows in proper
relations TO the other facts Of life.
Practically everyone at some time
or other feels he would like to be
able to make connection with the
source of unseen power which
apparently gives life its true sign
ificance. But the cares of the world
and the deceitfulness of riches and
the lust Of other things entering
in, choke out these sprouting desires
and people fall back into lives which
are profoundly secular.
God made life, and only God car
fulfil it. The Christian is happy
because he belives he has the thing
which makes living real.

VITAMIN A FOR EXoPHTHALMIC
GOITER

GOITER
Practically there are two kinds
or types OF goiter enlargement of
the thyroid gland which straddles
the windpipe in the front of the
neck just above the breastbonel.
The common goiter of children,
simple fullness or swelling OF this
part Of the neck which Is more or
less noticeable, usually causes no
trouble or no symptoms other than
the enlargement OF the neck, al
though in many instances the
school child with simple goiter pre-
Sents evidences Of hypothyroidism,
functional deficiency Of the thyroid
gland, which condition, like the
swelling or enlargement of the
gland, may be prevented or cured
by a suitable iodine ration,
The other and more serious form
OF goiter is called eXophthalmic
goiter--exophthalmic meaning that
characteristic sign of 1t Is
cXophthalmos, bullying Of the eyes
In this type OF goiter, more COM
mon In young adults, the swelling
on enlargement Of the thyroid gland
may be comparatively slight or not
apparent at ALL but there is always
hyperthyroidism, functional over
activity OF the thyroid gland, and
the hyperthyroidism not the en-
largement Of the gland, Is the Sc
rious feature Of the trouble. Asso-
ciated with 1t or rather due TO 1t
there Is generally more or less
fine tremor, rapid heart action
called techycardia) and sometimes
palpitation and, accor ing to
CantaroW (Duncan's Diseases OF
MetaboliSm, Saunders, -42) "myo-
cardial damage may be due to thia,
mine (vitamin 81 deficiency" Can
taroW, perhaps, wouldn't join the
SNUG old timers In deploring my
teaching that an optimal ration OF
vltamin B-compleX may really do
for a damaged heart what the old
timers have long tried to persuade
themselves digitalis should do.
Besides these signs or symptoms
the eXophthalmic goiter patient sur
fers from nervousness" irritable
ity, relestesness, state Of constant
anxiety or apprehension-and looks
always as though frightened or
startled-partly because of the
prominent, staring or abnormally
widely open eyes,
There Is still some difference Of
opinion IN the medical profession
concerning tho effect OF iodine on
eXophthalmic goiter, the old timers
generally assuming It Is not safe,
while more modern authorities adj
vocate the use OF iodine both for
prevention and for treatment, What
do ] advise? What do you Think
I was the last man In America to
adopt automatic windshield wipers
But l am among the first TO APP
prove OF the treatment of eXoph-
thalmic goiter with vitamin A

about marked improvement IN many
