No More All-Rubber Tires
No more tires will be manufac-
turned entirely of natural rubber,
w. James Sears, Deputy Director OF
WIPES Rubber Bureau, reported as
additional steps to conserve Amer
ica's dwindling stockpile Of natural
rubber were announced. Every
pound of natural rubber must be re-
served for products that cannot be
made of adequate quality by using
synthetic rubber" Sears said.
Protein Foods For Children
Everything that meat has hat
children need in their diet fortu-
nately is available in other foods
that are more plentiful, nutritionists
for the Children's Bureau. U. S. De-
partment of Labor, assure mothers
who are having difficulty finding
meat, the Department said. Used in
the right combination, these foods
will supply meat nutrients, chief OF
which is high-quality protein. Fol
instance, the protein found in liver
sausage, frankfurter, tongue and
canned luncheon meat, which are
more likely to be available than
other kinds of meat, compares Ia
vorable with that found in a prime
rib roast.
II, however, the butchers counter
is bare, other foods can be counted
on to supply the protein a cniio
needs, the department said, in the
following ways The quart OF
milk a day that many children have
supplies all the protein needed dur
ing the first year Of life, three-four-
tbs of the needs for children be-
tween l and 3 years old, and at
least half the needs for those up to
the age of thirteen years. All kinds
of cheese, including cottage cheese,
are relatively concentrated sources
of high-grade protein Each egg that
goes into the daily meals supplies
protein. Fish is on a par with meat
as to quantity and quality OF protein.
Dried beans and beans supply en-
ough protein so that they a be
used now and then in place OF meat.
