School Lunch Is
Important In Life
Of Poor Children

WASHINGTON, d. G -(SNS) -
1t makes long range difference
whether or not e. child has an ade-
quate school lunch, according to
specialist in the u S. Department
of Agriculture. They point out that
one year of right feeding in the
life of child is more important
than 10 years of right feeding after
one reaches the age of 40.
Now here's where the school
lunch comes in to meet its share
of the days dietary needs. 1t is
estimated, that some four million
children in $4,000 schools are hav-
ing nourishing school lunches this
year. The participation of colored
children averages about Is percent.
The specialists point out that the
school child needs a minimum of
a quart of milk each day, two vege-
tables tone green, leafy or Yellow,
two fruits. one egg if possible, one
serving Of meat, fish, poultry or
cheese; three servings of bread or
cereals; butter or fortified marga-

THE first step is fastidious mouth
hygiene Teeth should be brushed
after each meai and az bedtime,
mouth wash used to flush away
foreign matter removed by the
brush. Some dentists recommend
lotion made by dIssolving one tea
spoonful of baking soda and tea
spoonful of salt in q glass of water.
If this treatment does not bring
relief, and if one has professional
dental attention twice a year, there
must be a health check up. It is
so serious a handicap, that steps
should be taken to make the breath
normal.
BRUSH TEETH WELL
The commonest cause Of the trou-
BILE is found in disorders of the
mouth or nose Decayed teeth, or
infected gums and tonsils may be
the source. There must be no slip
shod, careless brushing of the teeth
because tiny portions Of food that
may cling between them will pro-
duce an unpleasant odor.
Chronic indigestion and consti-
patton may be contributing factors
to an offensive breath. Cutting
down protein, eating plenty of vege-
tables, drinking CopiouSly of water
and fruit juices may correct these
conditions. Repeated colds, that
leave the mucous membranes I'M
clean; and tonsils that form hiding
places for solids and liquids taken
in by the mouth: may be respon-
sible. If you are among the af-
fiicted, you must realize that the
search for causes is to be thorough
and complete If he finds himself
up against a blank wall, he will lay
down rules for better hygiene, per-
haps suggesting a change of diet -
which may have been too highly
seasoned insisting upon the
daily bath with heavy scrubbing, so
the skin will function as an organ
of elimination.
NERVES AFFECT BREATH
Nervous, jittery individuals often
suffer from tainted breath. Because
of emotional excitement they are
afflicted with physical disturbances
that take on various forms
A good breathing apparatus is
help, not only toward sweetness of
breath, but for the projection and
good coloring of the complexion.
Women are VIGOROUSLY shallow
breathers, and That is why five
minute session Of lung-washing just
before the daily bath is recommend
ed by beauty specialists.

NEW ORLEANS, La. - (SNS) -
The serious shortage OF Negro
nurses and the equally serious
shortage Of schools and facilities
for nursing education were empha-
sized at a conference on Nursing
Education sponsored by the Nation
al Nursing Council for War Service
at billiard University on December
and 2.
This was the first conference of
it's kind ever held in the country;
and the outstanding nursing edu-
Gators, college presidents, deans,
councillors and teachers of the
country discussed ways by which
educational resources can be more
fully utilized for the education of
Negro nurses.
Among specific points brought out
by the conference were; There are
only 1000 Negro student nurses, q
dangerous low iii enrolment for the
health needs of Americas largest
minority; that ohere is a great need
for establishing in few stragetic
centers additional adequate schools
and facilities where nurses can be
educated on professional level;
that Negro students are now being
admitted more generally in well
established schools heretofore clos
ed to them; that plans should be
instituted in small hospitals for the
training Of practical nurses; that
the needs for more hospitals for
Negroes cannot be separated from
the total health needs of the group
which ramifies into the problem of
adequate nurses and educational
f ciliti e. S: and that finally
the urgent need IF nurs-
ing ucation for Negroes
needs publicizing in order that stu

Mrs. Roosevelt And Mrs. Bethune
Join In Honoring Wounded Troops
Men Are Told
They Helped
Better World

WASHINGTON - {ANP) - The
First Lady of the land joined with
the first lady among Negroes, Mrs.
Mary Mcleod Bethune, in honoring
wounded Servicenen, and told them
that while theirs might seem to
be a hollow service" she envision-
ed "a better situation in the fu-
ture.'
I believe deep down in my
heart" Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt told
nearly 1875 of them at a Thanks
giving dinner given at Lucy Stowe
Hall in their honor and sponsored
annually by the Equestriennes, that
out of all you have been through,
we are going to have better coun-
try and a better world Much of
it," she added, will be due to the
fact that many of you have fought
with restraint, patriotism and abb
lily to live down the difficult things
and have still come out as Ameri-
can soldiers"
CLUB AIDS MEN
The Equestriennes is young
women's club, mostly government
employees, whose members hail from
New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Washington, Richmond, Akron and
New Orleans. Organized originally
as riding club, the group has
since dedicated itself to the welfare
of wounded seryicemen.
Mrs. Bethune lauded the efforts
of the girls and saw in them the
ambition of all Negro women,
namely to be of service She said
that that is one of the foundation
stones of the National Council of
Negro Women of which she is pre-
Sident.
GIBSON SPEAKS
Truman K. Gibson, civilian aide
to the secretary of war, told the
honored guests that chose who
are fighting to keep us in our place
are really fighting losing battle"
He said that three-fourths of the
Negroes in service come from the
South and have received adult edu-
cation, vocational training and
medical attention, all of which will
make them better fitted to meet
the problems of the future.
Others on the program who spoke
briefly were DR.. Marshal Shepard,
recorder of deeds; Captain Herbert
Carter, veteran Of the goth Pursuit
Squadron now an instructor at the

AFL Council Rallies Labor
To Back Invasion To Limit
Tolerance In A Democracy
edward Flore, In Catering
Industry Employe)

Are we keenly aware of the threats
to democracy inherent in the present
organized and concealed drive to TO-
ment race and religious prejudices
among our people in this critical pc
riod of social transition and world
war?
Responding to these sinister devel-
opments in the social and political life
of America, we must conclude that
these practices constitute a fragrant
abuse of civil liberties If we value
the freedom of democracy, then we
must seek to rid ourselves of these
abuses.
Conditions have reached a stage
where we need to be reminded that
tolerance" is not unconditional, and
that citizenship and public leadership
have their responsibilities as well as
their rights. Responsibilities are not
arbitrary restrictions on the behavior
of the individual. They are implicit
dom we cherish under the name of
democracy.
Freedom of speech, of research, of
publication are basic freedoms. They
flourish only in democratic society,
and our tolerance" should never
! prompt us to be Indifferent to that
variety of individual and group con-
duct which in reality constitutes an
attack on the very moral foundation
of democracy.
Efforts to divide workers, by ap-
peals to race or religious prejudices,
are often made by reactionary groups
with their own axes to grind The ef-
fort to develop a more adequated
work understanding of the civil rights
and responsibilities of American citi-
zens in this transitional period is 9
critical need.

MEDICAL MIRACLE
WORKED BY PLASMA

Washington, D. C. GLNS).-A
medical miracle is taking place in the
shattered frame of Staff Sgt. Arthur
E. White, an infantryman from As
toria, L. l., but it couldn't have hap
pened if it hadn't been for blood
plasma from home.
Blood donated through labor union
campaigns comprises large share of
the plasma which has been sent over
seas by the American Red Cross.
White, before he joined the Army,
was member of the Building Service
Employees Union, AFL, Local BIB, of
New York City.

White is paralyzed from the waist
down.
Recently he moved his left leg
about an inch. 1t was made possible

there for the operation if it had not
been for the blood donors here in the
United States.
The blood plasma, modern drugs
and new surgical procedures are cred

White, who holds the Silver Star
for single handed attacks in which he
destroyed two German machine gun
nests in Sicily last July, was wounded
Aug. 2 by bullet from the rifle of
Nazi sniper which smashed his spine
and severed his spinal cord
Spinal Cord Sewed Together
The bullet entered through his
chest and made gaping wound which
medical authorities say would have
meant almost certain death in the
first World War. He was previously
wounded at Ell Guettar in the North
African campaign.
Given first aid Immediately by
medical corpsmen, White lay five
hours in a heavily shelled area before
it was possible to move him to the
rear.
At the field hospital, surgeons sew
ed Whites spinal cord together. Last
week, seven nerves in his back were
spliced and he is gradually gaining
control of his lower limbs.
Whites story emphasizes the i'm
portance of the campaigns by labor
unions for blood donations from their
members, and the need for the contin-
uation of such drives.
