One important question to
ask yourself during Commune
ty Health Week, February 2 to
8, Is do I start the day out
with \ good breakfast" Our
most important meal of the
whole day isin many instances
skipped by people busting off
to work, and by people, women
particularly who cons ider
themselves overweight.
OF all meals, what a foolish
decision to skip the meal which
comes at the time when you
have already gone without food
longer than any other time dur
ing the "a hours.
Need Breakfast
Even more serious is the
children who are sent off to
school without their breakfast
children who need food not
only to keep their bodies in re-
pair, as do adults, but also to
keep growing.

in it. These bodies Of ours

Any breakdown in that sup
ply of food is a breakdown for
the person. What is a fully
rounded diet? You'd never
guess, to read lot of books

always. Lop-sided diets adj
vised by faddists may do harm,
and are not practical any way
you look at them.
Basic Seven
Most of us know the Basic
Seven"-we know them in the
DRY, even if we haven't .practic-
Cd eating them. The Basic
Seven includes plenty of fruits,
vegetables, eggs, milk, meat
or meat substitutes, and whole
wheat breads and cereals.
There are two kinds of hum
ger-hollow hunger and hidden
hunger. When our stonachs
are empty, it's hollow hunger.
But a more serious kind of
hunger is hidden hunger. which
results from not enough of the
proper kind Of food.
Scurvy Threat
Malnutrition is another word
for hidden hunger. Some Of the
most serious symptoms of NAL
nutrition such as pellagra,
scurvy, etc, are rarely ever
seen in our country these days,
although they are quite COM
mon in the war-torn countries.
But there are many degrees of
malnutrition. Some of the les
ser degrees of malnutrition are
common in our midst-fatigue,
lack of mental alertness, poor
appetites, overweight, lowered
resistance to Gisease-these are
just few,

Charges and sentenced 10 lie I'M

Judge Leonard D. Verdier ruled
that Siple the unfrocked pastor OF

committed first degree murder.
Siple previously had pleaded guilty
to a temporary murder warrant in
the poison-slaying of his daughter.
Judge Verdier told the pastor he
would be sent to Southern Michi-
gan prison. Siple took the sentence
with the same lack Of emotion he
has displayed throughout the
lengthy investigation into the tur-
bulent background Of his church
relations.
"You have violated the laws Of
both man and God and the ter
commandments which you tolo

Siple had planned to throw him
self on the mercy of the court bur
he did not speak at the sentenc'

Institution and its exhibits cannot
readily be determined. The collections
in the National Museum alone have
been valued at $3oO,0OO,OO0. The original
Smithsonian Building, begun in 1847,
cost $500,000. This red stone building
with its distinctive towers, still stands
on the south side of the Mall.
The Arts and Industries Building, the
first building for the National Museum,
was built for s250,000, about Is years
after the original structure, and is rated
as the cheapest public building ever
constructed, costing only cents cubic
foot. Oficials point out, however, that
it has no basement and is merely a
shell, built for exhibits only.
The cost of the Natural History Build
ing was $3,500,000. Then there is the
National Geological Park, another men,
ber of the Smithsonian family, with its
ITS acres and numerous buildings in

Many experts believe radar will pro-
vide the eventual answer to all-weather
commercial flying, perhaps within the
next two years.
The CAA now is testing a radar land
ing control system at its experimental
station at Indianapolis Municipal Air
port of type used successfully by the
Army under the toughest combat con-
ditions.
The elaborate set provides operators
in the traffic control tower with radar

ground distractions within a radius of
some 80 miles. Another precision"
radar set located near the runway gives
the operators a picture of aircraft in
the glide approach path. Pilots can be
told of any deviations from the path, or
dangerous proximity to other planes or
ground distractions. The system works
equally we'll in fog or complete darkness.
The Army, however, used some 16 men
on shift to operate the system. This

WICHITA, Kans.-A mother and
father from Arkansas camped in the
Office of the Institute of Logopedics one
day and announced they would not leave
until staff members agreed to teach
their 10-year-old daughter to speak.
Vainly DR.. Martin F. Palmer and
assistants reasoned with them that there
just wasn't room-that the institute
already was crowded.
The girls parents won that first
round-and their daughter slowly is
winning the second, learning to speak
words that to her mean the difference
between really living, or just existing
Thousands of Americans are separated
from the normal flow OF life by this
barrier of defective speech. World War
II has added thousands to this unfortu-
nate legion-men robbed of the ability
to joke with and do business with pre-
war friends and employers through
wounds or conclusion.

DR.. Palmer Doubles
AS Department Head
Michigan-born, DR.. Palmer and his
wife. whose background also was in
speech training, came to the University
OF Wichita's newly formed department
OF logopedics in June, 1943 He headed
the department. Mrs. Palmer was his
assistant.
In November. 1945, the Institute was
incorporated to free it for research and
philanthropy beyond the scope of the
school. But DR.. Palmer still doubles as
head OF the universitys logopedics de-
partment, and the school, municipality
owned, provides the Institutes present

plicated, heavy and expensive for gen.
eral utility, although many globe
girdling planes of the Air Transport
Command are equipped with it.
A third electronic device being tried
out by the CAA consists of ground
beacons which can be "triggered" by
transmitted signal from an approaching
airplane to throw out code signal
identifying the beacon and establishing
its direction and distance on a dial on
the pilots instrument panel.
At request of the CAA, the Army and
Navy have contributed some 10 carloads
of their latest radar and radio aids
to air navigation for testing at the
CAA's experimental station at Indian
apoliS.
Qualified technicians are scarce, how
ever, and the CAA must economic in
the field of engineering research be-
cause the Bureau of the Budget cut a
requested appropriation of 81 $3.50 900 for
this work to $1,200.000.

ton contracted with the Institute to be-
gin training war veterans. In its linn
tied quarters just off the campus, with
its staff of 80 persons, the institute has
agreed to train as many as $50 veterans
at time in addition to the 1873 young
people already under training.
Nine States are represented In the
Institutes enrollment-and more than
1000 applicants from all 48 States are
awaiting entry.

nee; Gov. Andrew F. Schoeppel Of

Mile are seeking national aid in pro-

and vertical needles which cross at right
angles when they are on the landing
beams.
The CAA believes general use of this
system will cut down weather cancella-
tions and speed up landings under ad-
verse visibility conditions without sacri-
f1cing the present margin of safety.
Another improvement is the gradual
change-over on the radio ranges from
low to very high frequency to eliminate
static and permit pilots to set their
courses with needle on a dial rather
than range tone coming over head
sets. During the transition period,
both systems will be operated until
VHF receivers are in general use.
With little extra cost, it is said, the
present method of sending out courses
in four directions from each beacon will
be replaced by an -directional sys-
tenn which throws out beams to all
points of the compass. The CAA is CO.
operating with the ATA in planning
these successive steps.

runway, and lights of strong intensity

for the landing.

With the airlines now losing an esti-
