The availability of the facilities at
the Hospital for Crippled Adults,
according to Mr.. Whitten, makes it
possible for the Vocational Rehabili-
tation Division to render a much
more effective service to white or
thopedic cripples. This is particularly
true since federal vocational reha-
bilitation funds cannot be expended
for disqualification beyond a ninety
day period and many clients suffer-
ing from orthopedic disabilities re-
quires much longer period of hos

Indications are that an even great

Your State Health
Officer Says.

Oleomargarine lived on the wrong
side of the tracks for decades. 1t was
scorned by users of the better recog-
nized and established butter. At last
however, margarine has worked its
way into the social register and has
now taken its place nearly on level
with butter as a satisfactory table
fat. During the war, when food ra-
tioning changed the buying habits of
many family, American house
wives learned to market in terms of
nutritional values and to accept ad-
equate substitutes for more ortho-
dox articles of diet. They learned
that margarine is palatable and fla
vorful, that it can be used in prac-
tically every way butter can, and
(according to the nutritionists) that
they were providing their families
with protein in a good and pleasing
form.
Margarine is a highly nutritious,
and fundamentally inexpensive food
All or part of its ingredients are
farm products of forty-four states,
truly shining instance of democ-
racy at work in this bushes of feed

mouths to feed than it has food for
there is no need to feel like Mother
Hubbard when we go to the cup
board-our shelves are anything but
bare, even though they may not of.
fer exactly what we are looking for
1t is time for us in this land of plen-
ty to abandon rigid ideas about diet
and to adapt ourselves to changing
supplies. We can be well and pleas
antly nourished if we will use tc
good advantage the various forms
of food abundantly available.

"Y" Basketball Playoffs
Stunned By Presbyteriians

YMCA Sunday School league Off
Gals last night faced the refusal
of the First Presbyterian team to
play in the loops championship
playoffs because the Presbyterians
contended, 1--WE are champions of
the league already"
The Presbyterian point of view
was expressed last night by Team
Members ElWood Penney and Le-
Roy Towels as follows, 1--WE enter
ed this league with the understand
ing that the winner of the first
two-thirds of the league race would
be champions. However, although
we won the first two-thirds, MIR.
Smith, Adam Smith, physical direc-
tor of the ''Y''-Ed says we have
to play the Tabernacle Baptists for
the championship
"Our record is better than. that
of the Tabernacle team" they con-
tinued. 1--WE have won 10 and lost
one and they have won IS and lost
two. We can't see why we have
to play for championship we have
already won.''
Smith answered these charges
by saying, "Under the bylaws of
the league a playoff is called when
it is necessary and in this case
| it is necessary. The First Presby-
terians were suppose to play last
night and they didn't appear so We
awarded the game to the Ia
bernacle Baptists. The second
game in the playoff series has
been called for Tuesday. If the
Presbyterians don't show then,
we'll award the championship to
the Baptists.'
Smith said that it was matter
OF the league bylaws that the
champions would be determined
by the results of 1.-THE entire SEA-
son not just the first two-thirds. If
we named champions after the
first two-thirds of the season we
wouldn't have to play the last
third"
Told that the First Presbyterians
were asking that a meeting be
called Tuesday night to determine
the matter, Smith said, ''They can
call meeting but it is out of my
hands. I called a meeting Friday
night to discuss this matter and
the Presbyterians attended that -
further meetings are not up to me-"

Baptists won the leagues junior
