Agriculture Department Sees Rosy '47 Picture

Washington, Oct g. 9-(UP)-The average American next year will continue to eat about Is percent more than before the war even though his diet won't include as much meat as he'd like.
 In preview of next years food outlook, the Agriculture Depart ment said that while meat and some other foods will continue scarce be- cause of abnormal demand, others will be plentiful at free market prices.
 The Department also said in an- other report that the goal of co., 100000 jobs will be reached next year barring major industrial dis putes, and that individual income payments may reach an all-time high of STE, 100000 ,00O,
 Income Level Up s Percent
 Such an income level would be six percent higher than this year and nearly three times as large as the pre-war average of $67 0,000,000 a year.
 Net farm income next year is eX- pected to dip 10 to Is percent under 1946 as a joint result of higher oper- ating costs and the diversion of con- sumers dollars from food to auto- mobiles, homes and other durable goods.
 The department said supplies of

meat, chicken, turkey, skim milk products, vegetable fats and oils, fresh fruits, canned fruit juices, po- tatoes, sweet potatoes and dry beans will be about the same next year at this.
 Some cut is expected in the SUD- ply of eggs, fresh vegetables and dairy products. The consumption of fluid milk, cream and ice cream may be reduced somewhat, however by generally higher retail prices.
 May Be More Essentials
 On the other hand, there may be slightly more butter, lard, evapor- ated milk, cheese, citrus fruits, can ned and frozen fruit, flour, corn products, rice, sugar and fish be- cause of smaller exports and mili- tary demands.
 The department said continued meat shortages probably will result in heavier demands for poultry which may contribute to higher prices Dairy and poultry products are not under price ceilings.
 Fairly large supplies of fruit are indicated for next year as a result of heavy imports of tropical fruits and a prospective record citrus crop in this country. Nearly all of the heavy pack of fruits and juices will go to civilians

The love of an understanding Father Is equally important to the healthy, normal development of a child as that of a mother, Sister Mary De Lourdes head of the de- pertinent of child development at St. Joseph College, West Hartford, declared in an address yesterday afternoon at the Kingsbury School gym.
 The appearance of Sister Mary De Lourdes, the first of eight child experts scheduled to speak at open meetings under the sponsorship of the Kingsbury PTA, attracted a large group of educators as well as parents.
 StreSsing the significance of love in child growth, the speaker declared that as early as the eighth week of life children deprived of parents and living ininstitutions be- gin to fall back in their develop nnept, and in testing institutional children allowances are always made for what is called institutional re- tardation."
 Mother Love Acne Injurious
 During the war and even now we see all around Us the results of chil- dten being deprived of normal life with the father as well as the mother" she asserted. Steady day by day, night by night association with only the mother builds up 8 relationship with that one parent that Is apt to be marked by weak ness rather than strength. Father less children find it almost inpos- slble to separate from their moth- CTS, they cannot abide letting them out of their sight, and they find the conlpanionship of childerp al- most intolerable.'
 Sister de Lourdes emphasized military men who have returned nome, after being separated from the children in some instances since the birth of the chcild must rec ogniSe these factors and use every possible means to establish healthy Iather-child relationships.
 Unprogressive emotional develop ment of the child may also be traced, the educator continued, to the young immature mother whose own need of love and reassurance IS so great that she has to devote her main efforts to satisfying her own needs She referred to a case history in which one young mother had never been allowed to grow up emotionally in her own family. and therefore entered marriage expect ing to give nothing yet making full demands.
 "Her two young children were unhappy youngsters who developed only into food problems, speech problems. and, of course, behavior problems" Sister De Lourdes as- serted. 'The little mother eventu- ally grew Up and her other chil- dren are fine happy youngsters. But the two older ones are still hay- ing a hard time.
 Loss to Working Mother
 Both mother and child will suf- fer irreparable losses in instances where the mother is working on entrusts her child to the care of nurse maids, "sitters," or others, the speaker said, not only because the child requires full and deep mother love but because the child becomes disturbed and confused by the vast number of adults who min- tster to his needs.

Burke Issues StdtementOn Candidacy
 Veteran Not
 Seeking Aid
 Of G. o. P. Party

John L. Burke candidate for State Representative on the Taxpayers Good Government Party and Social lst Party tickets of Waterbury to- day disclaimed any support from local Republican leaders in behalf of his candidacy. AS reported in The Democrat yesterday supporters of Republican senatorial candidate Francis Summa were planning to back MT. Burke.
 In his statement released today the TGGP and Socialist candidate said he is mot interested in obtain Ing the Republican Partys endorse ment but want to win the election with no help from any party ma chine as the candidate of the non- machine Socialist and TGGP par tles.' Burke is veteran of World War II. The fusion ticket candi- date said also that he is anxious to have MT. Summa defeated by John w. Ring" Socialist candidate for the State Senate from this city.
 MT. Burke's statement in full is:
 At the inSlstence of a number of my friends who are in the Repub- llcan Party and who are active workers 1n support of the candidacy ot Frank Summa for Senator from the Fifteenth District, I have re- gently let it be known that I was seeking Republican endorsement for my candidacy for the Assembly. realize now that this was a mistake on my part which 1 can only at- tribute to my inexperience in poli- tics.
 T realize that such action on my part would be inconsistent with the policy of the Socialists and the Tax payers Good Government Party in opposing machine politics in both the Democratic and Republican Parties and would be playing right into the hands of MT. Summa, whom I am very anxious to have defeated by John w.. Ring, so that MT. Ring can go to the Senate and, together with Franklin D. Barringer from the Sixteenth District, fight in the Sen- ate for amendments to Waterbury'S Charter which will help break up the machine politics that has Wa terbury by the throat.
 Together with my running mate Nick Nowie. I want to fight for the same things in the Assembly. We want our government made into the true democracy which we were told it was in the indoctrination talks that we heard while we were serv- ing in the Army, and not the bunch of selfish politicians playing politics as-usual with the welfare of the peo- pie for their own selfish ends that we are finding it too often is, now that we are back home and begin ming to learn about things from our own observation.
 T therefore wish it to be known that I am not interested at all in obtaining the Republican Party's endorsement of my candidacy for the Assembly, but want either to win election with no nelp from any par ty machine as the candidate of the non machine Socialist and Taxpay- CTS Good Government Party, or go down to defeat knowing I have fought a good fight cleanly, and that if the voting public doesn't elect me and my whole ticket in this election, whatever ticket they do elect will continue to play machine politics, so that sooner or later they will be swept out of office by disgusted uprising of independent voters. For the good of the public much more than for my own good alone, I hope it will be sooner
 Signed
 JOHN L. BURKE.

ChiId's Happiness Relies On Fathers LOUe, PTA Told

Mothers who prefer business life rather than devoting themselves to I the profession of rearing. except in cases of economic necessity, are of- ten women who cannot adapt them- selves to child rearing and find out side work more congenial, the speaker pointed out
 Sister de Lourdes urged that parents examine themselves to learn if they are giving the children the proper sympathetic understanding Often parents err, she said. by eX- pecting too much of a child which leads to Encouragement or too little, which results in the childs development being slowed up. She suggested two books on this prob lem Infant and Child in the Gull ture of Today" and Five to Ten"
 Because parents are likely to re- fleet the lack of security in the world today, Sister de LourdeS urged that parents assure their children of their safety, and avoid, if pos sible, letting their child learn of their worries and difficulties.
 Many factors are dependent upon the physical, emotional, and men, tai growth of children, the speaker asserted, which must be provided by the peSents
 For proper development of healthy body, a child requires space and equipment for development of muscular activity, place to seek both noise and fun and solitude and balance in all-round activity.
 For enlargement of his mental faculties, youngster relies upon rich and interesting environment and intelligent and loving adults. To thwart any tendencies toward a child becoming anti-social, com panionship with other children is necessary.
 Parental Examination
 In conclusion, Sister de Lourdes said: Tn this whole matter of the vital need for love in the lives of our children, we shall have to ex- anime ourselves as parents, and our children as developing human be- ings, discovering if we can the re- lationships between our own needs and theirs. It is almost a truism that the emotional needs of the parents prejudice them so greatly that they are unable to see the needs of their own childrn."
 The next speaker to appear before the Kingsbury PTA will be Miss Harriet Nash, State Department of Ed1ycat tj0fo yUho uri11 oI5rcec the group on Aspects of Personality Development" She is scheduled to speak on November 12.

 You may not have to wash behind the ears pretty soon, if the soap shortage continues.
 And you may not even have to study, if the book companies con- tinue to cancel local school textbook orders.
 But don't try to ask for candy or desserts, because Nom won't be able to find any sugar pretty soon.

 One Waterbury wholesale distribu- tor said today that his company has received no soap shipments since the middle of September, and no in- dication has been given of when the next will be made.
