MUST NOT BE GULLBLE
(Rridgeport Teleeraml

ENAeCkFC1G AA4&B
 If we weigh the background of European diplomacy against the present state of world affairs. what do we get?
 Well, there are many thoughts, fears and doubts which can be aroused by this question. European diplomacy has always been one of those thingS-remember9 There has always been great deal of behind the scenes trading, maneupering, double-crossing, threatening and the progress of the conferences, there has also been a great deal of moving of troops, either to start a threat or to remove one.
 If a small country'S representa- tives seemed to be talking too bold ly or too determinedly. the larger power would just move a few thou sand troops to the weaker nations border. Sometimes the threat worked, sometimes it didn't. Much depended upon whether the smaller nation had more backing of its own
 Now, to bring the matter up to date, the United States. trying to make the LIN practical, sound or ganization. is taking a great many assumptions. We are assuming that all men want all other men to be free and equal We are assuming that the words of a delegate to the LIN are an irrevocable contract with his country. We are assuming that delegates and all 54 United Nations when they make agreements, will lElquestionably leave duplicity parked outside the door.
 The point is that we do want permanent peace. We do want to give the fullest possible aid in bringing the world. back to a suc- ceSsfully operating economy.
 But while we are entered upon this program. We do not want tC make too many assumptions which are not true, never have been true and never will be true.

Safety Drive Paying Off

Summarizing the results of the drive by local police to curb speeding and other violations by motorists using Wa terbury streets Supt William Roach finds good reason to be pleased with developments to date. One swallow, how ever doesn't make Summer and two three weeks o1 rigid law enforcement won't effect permanent cure of our traffic ills
 Supt Roach points out that, contrasted with the
 first days of the drive great majority of the vioators re- gently arrested have been outtown persons This IS all to the good The court and the oodght of newspaper publicity which has followed have had de- terrent effect on local drivers apparently Educating
 motorists from nearby towns who through Waterbury will be somewhat difficult and require more time
 Only when the word gets around generally that you'd better take it easy going through Waterbury Supt Roach and his men consider the job accomplished Only then can we feel easier about the safety of pedestrians and only then will be able to point with pride instead of shame at Waterburys safety record

Social Security Boost

unions prided themselves what they did for their members, and this of the big talking points in membership drives Even today the insurance and pensions offered by such odline unions the print CTS, carpenters and railway brotherhoods are among their strongest assets.
 Gradually. these schemes grew in strength employers asked to bear a part-then all-of poyers had voluntarily set up pension and disability plans of their But union leaders looked on them with suspicion considering them paternalism So
 little by little such things paid vacations sick ben gaining. and such were included in union con- tracts which defined the benefits to be received.
 Today all such payments by an employer are con- sidered legitimate operating expense and as such are deductibe income tax returns. Over 10000 private concerns have had their social welfare plans approved by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
 The Railroad Retirement Act goes even this one better Here the whole U S. railroad industry con- sidered one economic unit. The government cole lectS the money to pay for the benefits of tax funds and pays the insurance.
 The coal industry social insurance operates on different plan under the contract signed last May by John L. Lewis and Interior Secretary J. A. Krug. The so-called "A" fund collected as fiye-cents-a- ton royalty all coal mined is for welfare The B" fund for disqualification and medca is not new but control is shifted from the mine operators, who formerly conducted such programs to the union.
 Demands that the unions be given control over ployer are notceaby on the increase They bound to figure prominently in all future negotiations for increased social security programs

MANIFESTATIONS OF IODINE
 DEFICIENCY


 Men and women approaching middle age (well, what do you thinkp) commonly develop some of the following complaints:
 Chronic tired feeling which is little if any relieved by vacation or rest; lack of usual or former en- ergy or pep; premature graying of hair and other signs of premature againg; poor circulation as evidenc- ed by cold hands and feet; a desire for more clothing or more artificial heat or warmth in circumstances where normal individuals feel com fortable or even too warm for com- fort: & tendency to accumulate flabby fat, stacker flesh; mental torpor, and often depression of spirits or a change from former cheerful temperament to a bleak or melancholy frame of mind.
 Now when you and were young, Maggie, any quack could have told you, and probably did, that such complaints come from your liver and all you need is but I hasten to tell you that such complaints may signify any of a dozen ailments shall not even mention, and that if you are gifted with little common sense you will leave it to your doctor to advise you what to do about it.
 have necessarily acquired some knowledge of human nature-So imagine not more than one in ten readers who have an assortment of the symptoms mentioned will con- suit a physician, not until he or she is undeniably down and nearly out
 In a great many instances such complaints respond happily to cor rection of nutritional deficiency - iodine deficiency.
 This is nutritional iodine, not medicinal. Every man, woman ana child requires a certain amount oi iodine daily to maintain good nutri- ton and good health, just as every one requires a certain amount oi calcium lime) daily to maintain good nutrition and good health. Tht difference in these two minimum daily nutritional requirements is ont of quantity-thus a teen age youtf needs, say 8 to 10 grains of calcium Gas supplied by l-2 pints of milk) while the same youth needs onl! l/4O0th of a grain of iodine daily But mind you, every one needs tha wee, wee bit of iodine every da! just as much as he or she need any other nutritional element.
 In some regions the soil, drinking water and the animal and vegetable food grown on the soil still suppl! the daily nutritional requirement. O iodine. In most parts of the Unitet States and Canada the soil, drinking water. cereals, vegetables, fruits eggs, milk, and meat are all poo | in natural iodine content, am therefore most of the people suffe from iodine deficiency.
 Iodine, which occurs naturally il chemical combinations, iodides, easily soluble-disSolves in water and so it is being constantly leache or washed from the soil of the up lands and carried in the river down to the sea. Where seawee or fish meal is used as fertilize much iodine is restored to the soi but otherwise only those individual who happen to get a reaSonabl amount of seat food are at d likely to escape the manifestation Of iodine deficiency - unless the make it a rule of health to supple ment their diet with a wee, wee bi of iodine or iodide in one form c another every day or at least tw or three times a week the yea around.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
KCT and Low Blood Pressure

ACA and Low BA0Ou rressure When I told my doctor I'd like to try souble potassium chloride for my allergy he said I'd surely have low blood pressure then-i have had low blood pressure for some time.
 (V. B. Answer-It does not lower blood pressure. As the action of potassium is physiologically similar to the ac- ton of adrenal gland hor1none it should rather tend to help low blood pressure.
 Terpin Hydrate
 I took two dozen capsules of terpin hydrate @ grains), one after each meal. and got the greatest re- lief from chronic winter cough I have had in years. (Mrs. q. D. O. Answer-Thank you, ma'am. CCopyright lo1s, John P. p1lle Co.)
