Even if your butcher shop is bar ren of steaks, chops and roasts- and every other kind of meat don't get panicky.
 You can live-very well, too without any meat at all.
 But you cannot live without protein. And there are many other protein foods beside meat in your market today.
 These non-meat proteins are not substitutes for meat. They are meats equal as protein sources. To stay well and happy, eat lib- erally of them.
 Milk and chees are first rate sources of protein. Use them even more during the meat shortage.
 For children between one and three years, quart of milk a day supplies three-quarters of the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-10-07

protein needs. For those up to 13 years, a quart supplies at least half.
 The Children's Bureau says all kinds of cheese can be digested by children despite fashioned theories.
 Eat at least two servings a day of the non-meat protein foods. All these foods are good sources of protein as well as minerals and vitamins: poultry, fish, eggs, dried beans, peas and nuts. The Bu- reau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics says you must eat two servings day from this group AS WELL AS your daily supply of the other necessary foods, such as citrus fruit, dairy products, vegetables.
 The average man needs more protein day than the average woman. So give the men an ex-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-10-07

fish or eggs you serve as your main dish, get some extra protein food into your other dishes dur ing the meat famine. Use nuts in bread, chopped over buildings, or eat salted as an in-between snack Use cheese in spaghetti and noodle dishes, grated over casseroles, in soups, sliced or melted in sandwiches. Be liberal with peanut butter. Cook with milk. Combine dried beans and lentils with leftover sauces into baked dishes. Serve whole wheat bread frequently. Add oatmeal and other whole grain cereals to soups and sauces.
 No one can live without proteins. No one has to. But we can live without meat even though we don't want to.

A complete reversal in the Balti-

tation improvement program made
public today, threatens to hold up

timore Council which Monday re-
fused to appropriate $500, 900 as Bal

The City Council authorized sur

road link four months ago, it was

fused to back up the authorization

rided by the Highway Department,

civic groups.
District highway development pro-
jects for the next two fiscal years
are set up under the three-year Fed

This will take care Of such items as
the twin bridge replacement Of the
present highway bridge, the K street
elevated, the Klingle Road Bridge
across Rock Greek, and Dupont
Circle underpass.
Thus the proposed new program
would begin in the fiscal year 1850
and would be financed entirely with
District funds. # any Federal aid
should be forthcoming from this
date on, Capt. Whitehurst said the
timetable OF new projects could
be advanced by the extent of that
aid.
Sixteen projects costing $21 $50 900
have been scheduled by Capt. White
hurst between 1850 and 1885. In
addition, the subsurface streetcar
routes are due for completion with
in this five-year period at a cost
Of $35 5,000, 900.
Beyond 1855, while no dates are
assigned, cost estimates totaling
ST, ,700, 900 are provided for five pro-
jects including the $4,500, 600 bridge
across the Anacostia at Massa-
chusetts avenue, the Kenilworth
freeway, New York avenue extension,
including a bridge over the Eastern
Branch and railroad grade separa-
ton; the Rock Greek Parkway ex-
tension through the Zoo, and the
5000. 600 Alexandra Bridge across
the Potomac.
Alternative Suggested.
Gen. Young advised his colleagues
of his support of these items with
the exception Of a freeway in North
Rock Greek Park. He suggested as
an alternative an eventual depressed
freeway on the north end Of Six
teenth street entering the park near
the Zoo.
According to the consultants, the
midcity express way would extend
from Canal street in the vicinity Of
Independence avenue across the
Mall, along Third street as q de-
pressed roadway west of Grifdth
Stadium, passing under the hill
north Of Howard University. Con-
tinuing along the west edge Of the
Soldiers Home property, 1t would
tunnel through q hill east Of Rock
Creek Cemetery and thence north
east to the District line through
relatively undeveloped property.
Connections would be made with

over the line In Maryland.
The consultants said this express
way would draw q large amount Of
traffic now originating in the. Dis
