CHUNGKING, May 21.-Gener- alissimo Chiang Kai-Shek praised the Christian church and it's mis- sionaries in China today and said the abolition of unequal treaties had freed the Christian church from all association with foreign imperialism or aggression"

 We still need them (the mission aries) and welcome Christians from other lands who serve the people of China with true sym pathy and devotion. Don't feel you are guests. You are comrades work ing with us to save our people and build a new nation"
 Chiang and his wife are Meth odists

There's also the fourth point made by some observers that Pres ident Roosevelt felt that Henry w laca would help with midwest
 ..I m votes-which were more important then than the still-solid South.
 It is, of course, too early to make any predictions about l944, but the powers that be in both parties al- ready are drawing the lines. The fact that Byrnes, who didn't earn his political spurs by being yes man, could probably win enough confidence in the south to stem any threatened rebellion there, is not to be ignored
 One thing is becoming more ap- parent every day: the White House is not averse to having the fourth term issue discussed openly. A word from the President to some of those who have been shouting it from the mikes and house-tops would have put stop to it weeks ago.

That Is, As Far As Movie Production 6oes-Tay-
 Tor for Russia
By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD - Roger Touhy the gangster, wasn't thinking about S5, 900 limits on movie sets when he made his escape from Stateville prison, Illinois, last year. He could have been a lot more considerate about it.
 Lee Marcus, producing the story of Touhy, almost weeps when he hears about convicts who, with some decent regard for their movie biographers' budgets, escape in gar bage cans or dig simple little holes under walls. Because Touhy got fancy, the studio had to spend a lot of money taking the gangster tPres- ton Foster through a whole series of sets: the prison kitchen, the garbage platform, the yard, Tower D, the schoolhouse the powerhouse, the loading tunnel the storeroom, and finally the wall at Tower 3.
 Robert Taylor, for Russia" is taking lessons in symphony conduc- ting from Albert Coates, who is also playing the piano for the film
 Walter Lawrence is hero of a story of classic illustration. Young Lawrence is an inventive fellow who makes a sideline of movie work and can be found now on the set of Sherlock Holmes Faces Death One of his inventions is an am- plified steam whistle-a great big noise which, he insists, could be heard over a radius of 50 miles and put crimp in the air raid siren business, especially if they'd let him mount it on top of some tall building downtown. They won't Furthermore they won't let him blow it. Not once, just for practice I doubt that it means a new era of inter-studio friendlineSs and love, but here is 20th Century Fox putting out a little picture that will boost a Warner Bros. feature The featurette is Three Sisters of the Moors," all about the Bronte sisters who wrote books.

Citrus Fruit Victory
Food Special

Oranges, grapefruit and tanger-
ines will be Victory Food Specials
throughout the United States from
January 7th through January 18th.
Citrus growers have produced a
bumper crop which will be particu-
larly abundant in the local markets
at that time. The Agricultural Mar
keting Administration suggests that
these fresh fruits top every grocery
list.
These Victory Food Specials are
a part of the Governments planned
program for balanced food market
ing. Whenever a large crop of GER
tain food is available for civilian
use, that food is designated as a
Victory Food Special. Retailers and
other merchants feature that food
through advertising and display.
The official symbol of large "V''
against market basket is an invita-
ton for homemakers to buy freely.
This serves two purposes--first, 1t
encourages full use of the plentiful
food; second, it relieves the pres
sure on scarcer commodities.
While large quantities of grape
fruit and oranges will be processed
for war needs, the supply of fresh
fruit is particularly large, in view
of the canning restrictions for civil
ian use. Making full use of the fresh
fruit will help keep our Nations
total wartime food supply in bal
ance.
Mr.. Niles S. Baldrige emphasized,
in announcing the Victory Food
Special locally, that citrus fruits
are excellent sources of Vitamin c
and should be included frequently
in winter diets. An orange day, or
half a grapefruit, takes care of most
of the daily need for Vitamin c. So
the wise shopper will help to bal
ance both her family's diet and the
Nations food supply when she in
vests in oranges, grapefruits and
tangerines from January 7th thru
January 18th.

Watch Your Health

As young Marylanders settle
down to hte usual school routine af-
ter their Christmas vacation, DR.. r..
H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, wishes to re-
mind their parents of the import
ance of keeping close watch over
their health.
proper medical care, combined
with the early establishment of
healthful living habits, can lay the
foundation for your child's future
health and well-being," DR.. Riley
tells mothers and fathers of school
children. "A healthy childhood
usually prepares the way for healthy
adolescence and adult life.
school and health authorities are
interested in the physical condition
of every child attending school in
Maryland. The State Department OF
Education and the State Depart
ment of Health are working together
to perform health services which
have been part of the regular
school program for number OF
years. To make the program really
effective they ask for the coopera-
ton of parents.
Each year a large number OF
children are given medical examina-
lions by the County Health officers.
Usually the younger children are
examined each year. Older children
are checked if the examiner or the
teacher believes it necessary. Besid-
es general health and nutrition, the
examiner pays particular attention
ITO the nose, throat, chest, teeth,
vision and hearing. Parents are
welcome when examinations are
made. Whether present or not, they
should take the child to their family
physician for prompt attention to
any weaknesses or defects discover
ed. For those who cannot pay for
private medical care, needed medi-
cal attention is often provided thru
the efforts of Parent-Teacher Assoc
Citations, county health departments
and local service clubs.
ITO decrease the chances of COM
municable diseases being spread
from child to child, health officers
and nurses also inspect children, it
requested by the school authorities.
They make these routine inspections
of children who have been exposed
to catching diseases and those who
show symptoms of measles, mumps,
scarlet fever, diphtheria, skin infec-
lions and other diseases that could
be transmitted to others. When
children are kept out of school, be-
cause they are ill or because contact
with them might be dangerous to
their classmates, parents are urged
to keep them away from all other
children
''If children show any signs of ill
ness upon awaking, or if parents
know of exposure to communi-
cable disease, they should be kept
at home. Do not let them go to
school, possibly to endanger their
own health and that of the other
children before being sent home.

CASUALTIES OUTNUMBER
THOSE In OUR ARM
WJUp
ED FORCES

The natural guess of most per-
sons not statistically minded prob
ably would be that there are more
people killed in the conflict than in
traffic. But mothers, wives, sisters,
sweethearts can all ease their minds
If they have sons, husbands, broth
ers or finances in the armed SER
vices, for figures just compiled by
the National Safety Council show
that, up. to November 18th, after al
most year of war, American cas-
ualties in battle. including the first
ive days of fighting in North Africa,
were 6,054 killed, 4,485 wounded
and 40,327 missing and prisoners OF
the enemy, while $4,000 in the
United States met death by accident
and 100000 were injured in ac-
cidents. The casualties at home in
cluded the death of 44,500 working
men and 100000 who were in
jured.
The average parents probably will
find it difficult to believe that when
their Is or 19-year-old son is in
ductel into the army he is in no
more danger, if as much, as when he
uses the family car to keep q date.
These figures would indicate that
our nation still has quite q dis
lance to travel before we solve the
problem of traffic hazards. q
