Want Americans
To Eat More Meat
And Less Bread

Washington, Feb. IA temporary
jump in supplies of pork, beef, poul-
try, eggs and some dairy products
is foreseen in the wake of a new
administration program to conserve
on food at home to aid starving mil.
lions abroad.
AS result, Americans actually
may eat better than ever before-at
least for the next few months.
This all comes as a result of Pres
ident Truman's call to the American
people to share their bread lest
widespread starvation develop among
teeming populaces overseas.
The President has outlined a pro-
gram calling for greater flour ex-
traction from wheat. This will re-
suit in darker bread and less suit
able flour for the baking of pie, cake
and other pastries. But Washington
hopes it will 60 a long way toward
making up a 61-million bushel def
cit in wheat supplies which faces the
nation if it is to make good on prom
ises to aid in the prevention of star
vation abroad.
Mr.. Truman also has banned the
use of wheat for the purpose of
brewing beer and distilling liquor.
The use of other grains for these
purposes also is to be curtailed.
Finally, the President has asked
the Agriculture Department to work
out program to cut down on the
feeding of wheat and other grains
to livestock. The President also
wants to pare down livestock pro-
duction until the grain situation i'm
proves.
This latter move is what is expect
ed to result in increased supplies in
meat, poultry and dairy products.
Earlier marketing of these products
now is anticipated. AS result,
Americans may eat darker bread and
less spurious beverages,
but can have more to eat than ever
before-if bad weather doesn't spoil
the crop year.
The President says he feels the
people are wholeheartedly behind
him in this program, declaring: "The
of the American people
will not permit them to withhold . {.
while their fellow men in other lands
suffer and die"

SAYS SINGLE ATOM BOMB ATTACK
WOULD NOT KNOCK OUT THE u S.

Berkeley, Calf, Feb. IA : The
United States would be able to with
stand a surprise atomic bomb attack
if all available preventive measures
were taken, says DR.. Leonard Loeb,
physicist and wartime research ex-
pert for the Navy.
The atomic bombs that may be de-
veloped in the foreseeable future
might partially paralyze the nation
but could not knock it out in a sin
gle attack, Loeb asserted, providing
adequate defense steps had been ia
ken.
In an article in the report of the
Naval Ordnance laboratory, DR..
Loeb held that the effects of an
atomic attack could be minimized by
adopting and maintaining this four
point program:
() Remaining in the forefront of
atomic bomb research.
(2) Maintaining an adequate Air
Force, Army and Navy well trained
in the use of the latest weapons.
(3) Protecting it's vital industries
and munitions by keeping them un-
derground.
(4) Keeping an adequate intelli-
gence service active in foreign lands.
DR.. Loeb, a professor of physics
who served as captain in the Navy
during the war, played a part in
the development of some of the
Navy's newest weapons. He equip
ped special research laboratory for
the naval proving grounds in Mary
land, organized the facilities for in
stalling antimagnetic mine equip
ment on ships in the Pacific, and
on one occasion went on a technical
to Europe.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Successful Parenthood
Observation-Disclosures
BABY'S BED IMPORTANT


For the first few years of life a
baby spends about two-thirds of his
time in bed. For this reason his bed
is literally place to grow in. And
it would indeed be wasteful to spend
hours planning and preparing the
right food for his growth, and then
let him sleep and play on a bed
which interferred with the proper
formation of his bones. That would
be like trying to grow a tree in
window box-no matter how much
sun and plant food you gave it, its
roots would still be cramped.
We used to think that because
babys bones were soft he should
sleep on a soft, puffy bed. Now we
know that level surface is essen
tial, both for the child's safety from
suffocation and for his future good
posture. This means that the mat
tress on his bed should be firm
enough to provide support at needed
points, yet sofe enough to conform
to the curvature of a child's body
and allow for comfort. But it is
better to err on the side of rigidity
than to have too much "give" to the
mattress. A pillow is no longer used
on baby's bed.
You can see for yourself how
mattress that hugged the baby in
one spot and left hollow in an
other would interfere with his
growing a straight body. For not
only does the baby spend hours
sleeping on this surface, but his first
exercise is taken on it, and for
months it is his main play place.
When the baby begins to roll over
on his stomach and gradually raise
his head and chest, that isn't Just
cute trio kbut a necessary exercise
for strengthening back and neck
muscles. When he lies on his back
and kicks and gurgles he isn't just
entertaining you, he is getting his
leg muscles ready for that thrilling
The Lincoln times., 1946-02-14

stunt Of pulling himself up on his
feet. Now if You were doing SINH
lar exercise-and it wouldn't be a
bad idea to follow the baby's exam
aple in order to keep your muscles
strong and resilient - you wouldn't
put pillows under your body but
would choose a flat surface. Just so,
baby needs firm support for his
body during these self-starting ex-
elcise periods.
Although the baby will probably
have his own favorite sleeping posi-
tions you will have to watch to see
that he sleeps on both sides of his
head in turn So that one side won't
be flatter than the other. In the
weeks before he can turn himself
don't leave the baby lying on his
back by the hour as this, too, may
interfere with the proper shaping of
the head.
Other hazards to good body for
nation during the hours a baby
spends in bed are a too short mat
tress and too tight bed clothes. Be
sure that he has plenty of freedom
of motion ,and that his feet aren't
cramped. Toe deformities are some
times the result of tight bed cloth
ing which presses on the feet and
turns the toes under.

he was certain to be elected Pres

"All the ladies like whiskers and
they would tease their husbands to

who said Lincoln not only replied
to the little girl but promptly let
