Ruth Millett selves with eV'
erything essential to their own
health and that of their UNBORN
children.
As nation we pride ourselves
on the fact that our servlcemen
are the best clothed and best 1ed
soldiers in the world. We hear
over and over again how well
they eat, how carefully their
health is guarded, how expertly
they are treated when i'll or
wounded.
We shouldn't stop with that. It
Is important to Americas present
that servicemen be guarded,
but it is also important to Amer
iea's future that their children
being born today and tomorrow
get a healthful start in life.
FACE PROBLEM NOW
In the last few years, parents
have become educated on proper
prenatal and infant care.
That has been a wonderful step
forward for the country. But it
doesn't do a young, prospective
mother any good to know what
her diet should be if she can't
afford to buy the milk, fresh
fruits, etc, that she needs to pro-
tect her own health and to pro-
duce strong, healthy child.
That is a post war problem we
had better face right now.

limitations are likely to stay Tor
the duration, although a national
banking association is clamorlng
fer their relaxation.
The Federal Reserve Board

saws there are no plans to give

the Office of Economic Stabiliza-

such move, said he saw no reason
why restrictions should be eased
or removed now
Retailers are happy with these
rules which help tighten up charge
accounts. Consumers who n d
special credit extensions can ar
range under. the order to buy on
'1ay-away' plan: The life OF a
charge account can be extended
past two months by a written
aereement to pay in six months.
Or the purchaser can file State

itor and agree to pay in Il
months.
