Byrnes May Intervene
 In Gasoline Situation
Director of Office of StabiaztiOn Asked to End Con- trOversies Over Gasoline RatOning in Eastern States

Washington. D. O., April 6-Inter- vention of James F. Byrnes, director of the Office of Economic Stabili- zation, in the eastern gasoline rat- ioning situation to end the contro- versies and confusion of policy among the various agencies having jurisdiction over one phase or an- other of the problem was urged to- day by the American Automobile Association.
 Recalling the successful settle ment by Stabilization Director Byrnes of the controversies concern ing the rubber program, Thomas P. Henry of Detroit. Mich. president of the A. A. A., declared that set- clement of the controversies over the eastern situation was equally urgent.
 S,5O0,OOO Drivers!
 Following within a few days after government action again reducing gasoline rations along the Atlantic Seaboard, Mir. Henry's letter to the Stabllization Director declared that hte $500, 900 motor vehicle operators in the area find themselves in a chaotic situation" because of con- stantly changing rules and regula- tions. abrupt fluctuations of motor fuel allotments and uncertainty and apprehension as to the future.
 Despite the underlying reasons for the shortage conditions in the east, the A. A. A. Executive declared that passenger car operation in the eastern states could have been sta- bilized within the limits of the mile- age rationing program, except for blunders in the domain of major policy, the division of control and responsibility as regards policy and the inter-agency feuds that make cooperation impossible"
 While praising the work done in their respective spheres by the gov- ernmental agencies, the A. A. A. communication charged: When 1t comes to formulating broad policies for car operation, authority conflicts and overlaps, the end result being pickering and complete lack of teamwork. with the car owners con- fused and confounded amidst the cross currents of the conflict in in Washington
 Constant "SquabhIing"
 The A. A. A. laid particular stress on the division of responsibility as between government agencies, the constant squabbling and maneuver- ing as to what agency did this or that, what agency shall take credit for liberality or blame for restric- tion. The War Production Board is fully conversant with the dishar. mony and the division of counsel that pertains. but 1t Is either un- willing to do anything about 1t or Is unable to by-pasS the rampant of 'directives' with which the agencies are surrounded"
 Declaring that one agency knows little about what the other Is do' ing and why, Mir. Henry declared: Tt took all the tact and diplomacy ] Of the office of War Information

 time diet,
 The science of nutrition has re- vealed that mankind is subject to two kinds of hunger for food-a hid- den hunger as well as the more easily recognized bangs of hollow hunger.
 Hidden hunger is the subtle kind that results from N lack of eSsen- tial food substances in daily diets --sslch as the vitaMins which are household word for nearly every body, but stlll are too little under stood and are often Slighted in our food habits,
 Vitamins are the more or less mysterious substances in our food that help keep our bodies strong and healthy.
 VITAL TO THE NATION
 These, along with the proteins. carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and water, are essential to good health and normal growth-and therefore. extremely important to the nation in wartime when all citizens should be at the peak of condition for maximum output,
 For centuries, 1t was known that certain foods could cure some kinds of disease, but nobody knew just what it was in the food that caused the cure,
 NsaV,, sA.aunRsA ov.l n&N.a~ lOhn~a tory investigators have been able to separate and study some of sub stances called vitaminS and to learn more about their functions, They have also learned to prescribe de- finite amounts of vitaminS when they are needed and commercial food proceSSerS are able to enrich" or "fortify" some important foods by adding certain pure vitamins and minerals,
 The vitamlnS have been identified with the ways in which they aid health. Vitamin A. for instance is needed for normal eyeSight in dim light, and therefore Is important to air pilots. fighting men. and people who must carry out activities in darkened places,
 PREVENTS NIGHT BLINDNESS
 When person has a deficiency of vitamin A, his eyes cannot ad- just quickly from bright light to darkneSs-a trouble known as night blindness, Also in daylight a person with night blindness cannot see well to the right or left, This may cause accidents, A deficiency of vitamin A will render the body more liable to infection, This vitamin is also necessary for healthy nerves. skin, gums, teeth and bones, You get vitamin A by eating leafy greens and yellow colored ones, as toMa- toes; also from liver. butter. milk and eggs,
 There is a family of B vltamlnS. One is Bl. also known as thialnine (rhyme "thi" with "myc. Thiamin is nicknamed the morale vitamin. Those with too little thiamine often exhibit nervousness and retarded growth, have poor appetitieS. con- Stipation, slow heart rate. a tired feeling,
 Another of the B family is nia- cln, a nicotinic acid (not the same as nicotine which is of no value in nutritionl. You need this vita min for health of nerves and the digestive system, and for Q healthy skin. Niacin is probably the health watchman that does most to ward off pellagra. which can be prevent ed by eating ahundantly of foods l containing R vitaminS, particularly niacin.

Easter Seals have gone to many families in Waterbury and vicinity during the past few days. comes word from Lester c. Burdtck. state chairman of the annual Easter Seal sale of the Connecticut Society for Crippled Children.
 Seventy-one chalrmen in all parts of the state, including this area, and more than 500 volunteers have aided in the sending out of the seals and will continue to help in the drive until 1t closes on Easter Sunday Funds raised will be used to provide better opportunities for the educa- tion, disqualification, and rehabllita- ton of some 5000 crippled persons in the state.

A third B vitamin is riboflavin ('ri" rhymes with why" and fla" with "way'D. It is needed for normal growth. If the body gets too little of 1t, skin disorders will result: there may be dimnesS of vision and cataract. Many foods have the B VitaminS. Meats, liver. kidney and other glandular meats. fish, peas, beans, soybeans, milk. eggs the leafy green vegetables will furnish these.
 Vitamin c also is known as as- corbic acid. When you get enough Vitamin 0 your body tissues are healthier, especially the blood ves- sels. bones. teeth, and gums. For lack of this vitamin, sailors on long voyages without fresh food once were frequently laid low with scurvy. In time they learned that if they took lemon. lime, or orange juice, they quickly recovered from this disease. Raw green food such

as cabbage also cured 1t. Many per- sons, young and old, get less of this vitamin in their foods than they should have for the best of health NEED DAILY SUPPLY
 The body cannot store large amounts of vltamin c. You must get your supply day by day. Cit- rus fruits and tomatoes are very good sources of this vitamin, but fruits of different kinds. cabbage, parsley and other vegetables are also good sources. Canned tomatoes and citrus fruits contain almost as much vitamin c as the fresh products.
 Vitamin D is two-way-it comes from fish liver oils and sunshine. Fat fish such as salmon and sar- dimes, egg yolk and butter contain small amounts. It helps bones and teeth grow strong and straight. It Is called the sunshine" vitamin. Oils from fish nvers are the foods most commonly used for vitamin D.
