CARBOHYDRATE AND
CORPTJLENCY

Carbohydrate food (starcheS ana
sllpars) is the most abundant,
cheapest. most concentrated, most
digestible and most nourishing food
for man or animal. A gram or
ounce of any pure starch or sugar
Yields the same number OF calor1es
as a gram or ounce of any lean meat
or white of egg, which is the purest
naturol form of protein food. Only
fat or oil, such as lard, beef 1at'
olive oil, butter, peanut oil, Is more
nourishing, yields more calor1eS GA
calories per gram as compared with
4 calorieS per gram for sugar, starch
or protein), but the average individ-
ual can take and digest only few
ounces of fat or oil whereas one
can easily take and digest up to a
pound of pure carbohydrate a day.
In fact, the basic daily requirement
of these three food materials for
the average person is approximate
ly 211 ounces of fat, 3 ounces OF
protein and from IL to 10 pounds
of carbohydrate depending on the
individuals physical activity. The
more work or play or exercise, the
more carbohydrate required to
maintain the body's energy and to
prevent fatigue and loss of weight.
The usual determining factor Of
corpulency is not the individuals
good appetite, not the amount Of
fod consumed, not the individuals
fondneSS for fats, oils, fried foods,
and not merely the amount of car
bohydrate in his or her diet. Rather
the factor that accounts for the
tendency to accumulate superduous
bulk or displacement (slacker f1esh)
Is the proportion of refined carbo-
hydrate material in the diet.
BY refined carbohydrate I mean
sugar (beet, cane or other kind Of
sugar., white -four and things made
of 1t ,Syrups candy, Sweetened bev-
erageS, ice cream, cake, pastries and
other delicacies or desserts In which
cornStarch or sugar or refined white
-four is a main ingredient, various
namby- PANTY cereal products re-
fined and all but chewed and swal-
lowed by the manufacturer for the
perverted taste of the ignorant (of
physiology and nutrition) public. ;
would be the last to find fault
with any of these carbohydrates if
they were taken in the form in
which they grow, in their natural
state, along with the minerals and
vitaminS in the plants from which
they are derived. If the carbohy-
drateS were used only in their nat
ural form in the diet-even if only
wheat or wheat meal or flour with
nothing removed, were used in the
diet instead of refined white flour
corpulency overweight, obesity
would become as rare In people as
1t is in animals that are not de-
pendenut upon refined carbohy-
drate food.
The vitamins and minerals that
grow with carbohydrate are essen
tial for the metabolism, the utiliza-
ton of carbohydrate, the combus-
ton or oxidation of the material in
the body to supply the heat and
energy the body uses constantly.
When the vitamins and minerals
are lacking the body simply cannot
burn the fuel, and so it is stored as
fat.

A bus driver in New York City compares
favorably with popular singing walters
and verse making cops. The one in ques-
ton in New York City, Salvatore Casca-
villa, is known as the most polite bus
driver in the big city, on his Eighth ave-
nue. and Central Park West run. He
greets his patrons, tells them they're
looking swell, calls out stops, and even
has time to identify points of interest TO
the occasional out-of-town guy, or nick,
if you like that better, says goodbye, ana
even shakes hands when he gets the
time. He also fills in with song or two.
Some bus driver!

fatalities is to educate the public
so that early signs OF the disease
may be recognized, and speedy ac-
ton taken to prevent its develop
ment. Once the public understands
that cures are possible, the number
of recoveries will become greater
and the unwise fears which many
people have should disappear.
The Women's Field Army works
with the State Tumor Committee
and local physicians. Hospitals in
Hartford are well equipped with
facilities for the most approved
methods of treatment. It is to be
hoped that the campaign for year.
round campaign of education will be
successful. The cost will be COM
paratively small-$3, 600. 1t should
be possible to raise that much
money here for so important a
cause.

THE WAR ON CANCER
Hartford Tinesl

From today until the end of April
the Women's Field Army of the
American Society for the Control
Of Cancer will carry on a campaign
for funds with which to maintain
year-round educational program in
Hartford. There are some 500 men,
oers of the organization in the
;ity, membership in which, despite
its name, is not limited to women.
There has been almost a horror
of cancer on the part of many per-
sons who are unaware that the dis
ease is not necessarily fatal. 1t is
neither contagious nor infectious.
In fact, 483 known cures are re-
corded in Hartford alone. Cure

milton and treatment Of the disease.

The Griffenhagen people, whose
interest is assuredly professional
and not political, have said that the
system will need the services of an
administrator in order to function.
In this respect, the city is not diff
ferent from a private business that
employs 1000 people. If the city
wishes to let its investment grow up
to weeds, 1t will appoint no admin
istrator of the plan or will turn the

Selected Poem
THE ISLANDS

(Glenn Ward Dresbach in The New York Times
Men sought the islands out, through fabulous year
In frail ships Drawing doldrums and typhoonS,
Outwitting all the tribesmens darts and spears,
With trinkets buying pearls in blue lagoons.
But more than pearls and copra lured men baci
Some treasures no ship took into its hold
Flashed through their dreams-Strange peace they
seemed to lack
In other ports, wild beauty more than gold.
The savage tribesmen, changed from warriors then
To prosper in the trace that winged their way,
Must wonder at the fierceness of the men
Who fight to drive invaders out today.
With pearl lagoons now empty-but the breast
still filled with treasurers Of greater quest.

their ration books and forcing
them to purchase food through
