nIET of the mother during

of the child during the first few
years of life. is most important
in building for future health.
In planning the diet of the
pregnant woman, the needs OF
the infant must be given con-
sideration.
According to DR.. Elizabeth
Chant Robertson OF Toronto,
Canada. not only the number OF

Illness during the first six

and the number OF babies still

tains sufficient amounts OF the
foods which are rich IN vitaminS
and minerals.
If THE nursing mother re-
i celves the necessary amount
OF the foods rich in vitamins
and minerals, the infant will
have a better start in life. To
prove these facts, DR.. Robert
son carried out a study OF 200
pregnant women. She found
that practically all OF the
women had generally poor diets.
For this reason. three 10 four

additional foods had fewer COM

THE PRODIGAL FATHER

A certain man had two sons, and
the younger Of them said to his
father: Father, give the portion Of
thy time and thy attention and thy
companionship and thy couns /
which falleth to me-" And he divided
into them his living in that he paid
the boys bill and sent him to a Sc
lect preparatory school and to a
dancing school and to college and
tried to believe that he was doing
his full duty by the boys.
And not many days afterward the
father gathered all his interest and
aspirations and ambitions and took
his journey into far country, into
Ia land of stocks and bonds and Sc
curities and other things which do
not interest boys, and there he
wasted his precious opportunity of
being a chum to his own son.
And when he had spent the very
best of his life and there arose a
mighty famine in his heart; and he
began to be in want of sympathy
and real companionShip. And he
went and joined himself to one of
the clubs of the country; and they
! elected him chairman of the house
committee and president of the club
! and sent him to congress, and he
would fain have satisfied himself
with the huSk that other men did
eat, and no man gave unto him any
real friendship.
But when he came to himself, he
said, How many men of my ac-
quaintance have boys whom they
understand and who understandeSt
them, who talk about their boys and
seem perfectly happy in the COM
radeShip of their sons, and I perish
here with heart hunger? I will arise
and go to my son and say to him
Son, / have sinned against heaven
and in thy sight; I am no more
worthy to be called thy father. Make
me as one of thy acquaintances,
and he arose and came to his son.
But when he was afar off, his son
saw him and was moved with aston
ishment; and instead of running
and falling on his neck, he drew
back and was i'll at east. And the
father said unto him, "Son, I have
Sinned against heaven and in thy
/ sight; I am no more worthy to be
called your father" But the son said
mot so; wish it were possible, but
it is too late. There was time when
The Apache sentinel., 1945-02-09

gram everyone gathered in the lobby
to be served delicious anniversary
cake and frappe.
Thus the Anniversary program
was brought to close.
The staff of the USO would like
to take this opportunity to thank
those who have helped to make
these three years in the history OF
our USO possible. Your cooperation
is appreciated and we are sure that
same spirit viii prevail as long as
such an organization shall live.

Future of USO
Mr.. Johns, eminent social worker
and national official of the organi-
zation, who spoke last, stressed the
"human values of the work accom-
plished by the USO organization
during the years of it's operation
Reciting figures which showed that
the international clubs had served
80 millions of service men each
month, he pointed out that num-
bers were not indicative of morale
values and that the USO stood for
the decent world for which all peo-
Pile in the world were fighting.
He expressed his appreciation OF
the cooperation which exists at FIT
Huachuca between the military au-
thorities of the Post and the USC
and stated that never in his travels
among the 5000 clubs in the country
had he seen a better demonstration
of working together" than he was
privileged to see at Huachuca.
Mr.. Johns told of the changing
character of USO activity and stated
that problems were being met as
they revealed themselves by both
