CHAPTER FOUR

A SENSE Of calamity settled
upon Sandra as she gazed at spen-
ser wilmington, the British refugee
boy she had sworn to protect. She
had paid $50 to the committee in
Chicago to be deposited by them In
the government required trust
fund. Eight dollars for a head tax.
Money for q visa. Money for q
credit investigation Of herself.
An investigation that included
her religion. environment and fam
fly, life insurance. bank state
ments, a letter from Wakeman and
Benet, listing her salary and how
long employed-all such personal
matters.
But none Of these things mat
tered. What did matter was the
boys aloofness that slapped her
dreams awry. Obviously one might
as well try to cuddle a porcupine
as the reserved little Britisher.
While these unattractive
thoughts raced through her head
the door swung open and, to, her
relief, Mrs. Fennimore came In.
How are you getting slong?"
Mrs. Fennimores words held
that almost sickening cheerfulness
used by people when they know
full well things are not right at all.
VERY jolly" Spenser said. in a
little sing-song that held a lack Of
interest approaching sarcasm.
20. X" Sandra said, flicking her
hands outward in little shrug
that meant a great deal to the
Child Welfare expert.
"Spenser, be good chap. Run
downstairs, find the kitchen and
ask one Of the girls there to pre-
pare us some tea"
"Righto." The boy slid neatly
from his stiff perch on the edge Of
the davenport. Shall I come d.
rectly after I order the tea" he
asked seriously, "or do you wish
TO discuss mel"
Sandra expected subterfuge. In
stead, Mrs. Fennimore said: We're
going to discuss you, Spenser."
Suddenly she gave her wide, friend
ly smile that made her look so
much younger than she was. Then
later you and ! are going to discuss
Miss Edwards"
For a moment after he had gone
neither woman spoke. Mrs. Fenni-
more ran her fingers through her
blue-white hair with a gesture that
actually was one Of distraction.
But somehow, as 80 many Of her
gestures did, it seemed graceful.
Sandra Edwards felt herself relax

Your Health

AAOllNl bANb
Should Meet
Need of Infant
By HERMAN NJ. BUNDESEN NJ. D
DIET Of the mother during the
child-bearing time, and 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 70 Doctor Elizabeth
Chant Robertson Of Toronto, Cam
ada, not only the number Of deaths
but also the amount Of illness dur
ing the first six months Of life may
be lessened, and the number Of
babies stillborn or born dead is re-
duced if the mothers diet during
the last months Of pregnancy con-
tains sufficient amounts Of the
foods which are rich in vitamins
and minerals.
Nursing Mother
II the nursing mother receives
the necessary amount Of the foods
rich in vitamins and minerals, the
infant will have better start in
life. To prove these facts, Doctor
Robertson carried out a study Of
200 pregnant women. She found
that practically all Of the women
had generally poor diets.
For this reason, three to four
months before the birth Of the
baby was expected, 80 we're given
extra food consisting of canned
tomatoes, cheese, eggs. wheat
germ oil enriched with iron, as
we'll as large amount Of vitamin
D. It was found that the mothers
who received these additional foods
had fewer complications during
pregnancy, and their infants were
in better condition during the first
two weeks Of life.
Only two babies whose mothers
had the dietary supplements sue.
cumbed at birth or during the first
six months, compared with is in
fants whose mothers had eaten
just the usual food. Furthermore,
such diseases as ricketts, and tetany
did not occur in babies Of the moth
ers who received the additional
foods.
Nose and Throat
Infections Of the nose and throa,
were three times as frequent
among the babies whose mothers
did not have the added food ele-
ments as among those whose diets
were supplemented.
It is important that babies,
whether breast fed or bottle fed,
should be given vitamins C and d,
starting at the age Of two to three
weeks. Orange juice seems to be q
good source of vitsmin c, although
tomato Juice also is satisfactory.
Vitamin d may be given in some
fish-liver oil or some form Of vita
min d Concentrate.
Doctor Robertson does not be-
lieve that additional B vitamins
are necessary at this time as long
as the infant gets enough milk,
cereal at three to five months Of
age, egg-yolk at six months, and
vegetables at ten months Of age,
since all Of these foods supply the
B-eomplex.
It would appear highly impor-
tant that the pregnant woman get
all the necessary vitamins and
minerals in her diet, and that the
baby also receive the vitamin prep
arations starting at the proper
time early in life.

EUROPEAN VICTORY
 TAKEN CALMLY HERE
Community Restraints ElatiOn Waiting for Defeat of Japan

Bloomfield took the news of Germany's surrender calmly.
 Too many families had paid too big price for the victory to want to stage d emons r a t n. Thoughts of their sons, husbands and sweethearts, still battling on the other side of the world, held as many more in restraint.
 It was great news. It meant the war is half won. But to everyone here it meant the war is only half won. There's still Hirohito and his ilk.
 Even the youngsters excused for the day from school tempered their expressions of elation. There was Hirohito. According to the latest advices from the United States high command everybody's brother would now have to fight the Japs.
 In the evening scores upon scores trekked their way along highways and streets to attend a special VIE Day service conducted hv Reverend Thomas Foxall and Reverend William Barnes at the Federated Church. Their voices in song recorded the pride the com munitv took in the great victory. But there again it heard "There's still the Japs to down."
 To local kin of German captives the news of the victory brought the joys of anticipating the quick liberation of their relatives. Word of the release of five Bloomfield boys during the days just prior to that of Germany's surrender snread new hope for the safety of the remaining half dozen local lads till unaccounted for and added much to the importance of the hard won victory in Europe. But there remained the consious- ness of Hirohito and through it all it was clear that Bloomfield, as community, will save any at tempt at celebrating until the whole job is done.
