Alabama, with $4,000 boys and

ton. Mississippi is second with 1922
600, Texas, third with l0l 900, and
Georges, fourth with $4,000. The
lead in enrolment by southern
states may result from the fact that
the movement there is linked with

the North it is operated on a farm

It would be very convenient if physicians and nutritionists could set up a schedule telling exactly when each new food should be started during baby's first year. Just as babies vary in the age when the first tooth and then other teeth appear, so they vary in the age when new foods should be started. Your physician is by far the best guide, for he knows your baby's requirements.
 Orange juice and cod liver oil are started any time after the first week, usually when the baby is two or three weeks old. Your doc- tor will tell you how much to give.
 One of the special baby cereals, fortified with vitamins and min- erals to supplement those in milk, is given next. This may be start ed any time from one month to three months and is given at the noon feeding.
 About a month later, which means between two or two and a half months to about three and a half months, one of the strained vegetables is given. After a week on one vegetable, change to an- other one, but give baby plenty of time to become familiar with each one. Then change the cereal to breakfast or supper time and after two or three weeks it may be given at both meals,
 Strained fruits may be started any time after a vegetable has be- come familiar. Gradually, very gradually, more of a variety is given. By nine months of age there should be several vegetables, some meats and vegetable soups, egg yolk, several fruits in the menu.
 Good food habits are started early and learning to eat variety is an important part in this train ing.

no more than an hour had elapsed between sets of tourists.
 It took a little time for Greg 10 learn all this. The first day, he took his first group of tourists into the theatre to watch the show ten minutes was the usual time here. But Greg fell asleep and didn't awaken until the lights came up. His guests were sitting hap oily beside him, having assumed that full program at the theatre was just part of their tour.
 He then raced them up to the top of Radio City and filled them with transformation about New York. The area to which he pointed auth oritatively and labeled Jersey City, was Brooklyn.
 It was while he was guiding tours at Radio City that he won two year scholarship to the New York Neighborhood Playhouse School of Dramatics. After a few months training, he was urged to give up his job at Radio City and accept living allowance from the school. Between the two semesters at that institution, in the summer of 194O, he won the Barter Theatre Award annually endowed by Doro- thy Stickney, the Broadway actress. This gave Peck ten weeks with all expenses paid at the famous Bar ter Theatre in Abingdon, Va, where he appeared in seven plays in the ten weeks.
 When Guthrie McCGntic saw Peck in his final play at the Neigh borhood Playhouse, in the spring of 1941, the noted manager engaged him for a tour with Katherine Cornell in '"The Doctors Dilemma" planned for the following autumn.
 Gregory filled in with summer theatre engagements at Suffern, N. Y. before the tour began. He appeared in The Male Animal" "Once in a lifetime" and The Plays the Thing" and at White Plains, he did Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines" with Diana Barrymore.
 Although he had only small role in "The Doctors Dilemma" Peck received invaluable experi- ence and made a lasting friend- ship with Miss Cornell and her husband, McClintic.

 A Big JOb Ahead
 At the present time Connecticut has only 13 full-time local de- partments of health, serving ap- proximately 50 per cent of the pop ulation, established mainly in the large urban centers. The remain ing 50 per cent of the population, essentially rural, do not enjoy the benefits of fun-time health pro- lection. While health problems are equally prevalent in the urban and rural areas, available services are not SO divided. During the past few years, interest has been stead ily mounting in rural health. In addition to the wealth of health and medical information which has accumulated over the years, the war years added many new ad- vanceS. In order that these facts may be made available to all the residents of the state, we must have skilled personnel, trained leadership and guidance. This is possible only under a full-time local department of health with an adequately trained staff devoting full time to their activities.

News for Returning Vets
(Continaed from Page Tvo)

The meteorological services now commonly use ceiling projectors at airports for night measurement of cloud ceilings. A beam of light, usually from an incandescent lamp source, Is projected vertically and creates on the base of the cloud a spot that is easily visible from the ground. A visual sighting type of instrument, at a known distance from the projector, meas ures the angle between the line of sight on the projector. The tangent of an angle of elevation of the spot multiplied by the base line horizontal distance from the observers instrument to the pro- jector gives the height of the cloud ceiling.
 This principle has been extended to daytime as well as night meas urement in the Navy equipment by modulating the beam of light to give it an identifying charac- teristic. It can then be distin- guished from the high level of daylight by special detection means.

Milestone i1l Connecticut Public Health Progress

James A. Dolce, M. D., M.S.P.H.
 June 4, 1947, will ever be re- membered as red-letter day in the history of public health prog ress in Connecticut. On this day, the General Assembly passed House Bill 175, the Health Dis trict Bill recommended by Cover nor McConaughy in his inaugural message, and provided an appro- priation of $25, ,O0O for the biennium 1947-49.
 The dream of full-time local de- partments of health aided for the first time with state financial as- distance may now become reality. While it is admitted that the $25,- OOO appropriation is a modest one, 1t, at least, represents the be- binning of a program which, 1t Is hoped, will eventually make cOm- prehensive public health services available to all communities In the state.
 With this modest appropriation, one, and possibly two district de-  partments of health may be es- abolished with state financial aid to serve as demonstration to the various communities of the state. Requests will be considered in the order received. Therefore, towns interested In full time local de- partments of health should vote to join such a district at their next town meeting, and make applica- ton for state financial assistance. The state department of health is ready at all times to assist with the necessary details.

Gregory Peck Biography
Continued from last issue)

WOnLlnueQ rom last 1SSue) After a year at the San Diego State College, Peck entered the University of California. He soon won a seat as stroke of the bear crew that rowed at Poughkeepsie in 1888.
 His work as a pre-medica1 stu dent didn't go as well. If the mid dle of calculus and chemistry and long before he got to cadaverS, he decided that medicine was not for him.
 He left school and got job driv- ing a truck for the Union Oil Com- pany. Gregory was good truck driver. The district manager called him into the office at the end of eighteen months.
 I've been watching your work" he told the lad. You've got a big future with the company. Begin ming next Monday, you will be dis patching trucks"
 Greg went home and thought about it. The oil business didn't seem any better than factoring He didn't know what to do and con- cluded that perhaps if he went back to school he might find out. Peck remembers that he had an inordinate interest in the theatre never missed a play that came to town. But career as an actor never occurred to him. Sissies and girls may have had something to do with this, he admits.
 He decided to major in English while he looked around.
 A friend, who was neither sissie nor a girl, was directing the Berke- ley production of Eugene O'Neilps Anna Christie" He wanted Greg ory Peck for his show. He urged. And the same weakness that let Peck be persuaded into "Pandora's Box" and the boys camp play, let him be induced into accepting the role in Anna Christie"
 And Peck knew, with almost the first rehearsal, that as far he was concerned, sissies and girls could go hang-acting was for him. When he was graduated in 1939, Greg tucked his Sheepskin away, and armed with a letter of intro- duction from his father to friend who was part owner of concession at the New York Worlds Fair, he headed for New York and a theatrical career.
 His fathers friend arranged for him to meet the manager Of the Meteor Speedway who was then in need of barker.
 The manager looked the tall. lean lad up and down and demanded, Start talking" (Among the cog noscenti, bankers are talkers-they talk, not barkO
 Peck delivered a spiel and was hired on the spot to work with a professional talker, 12 hours day, half hour on and half hour off.
 Three weeks of this and Peck de- cided that the only thing he was going to get out of this job was laryngitis. The following week he went to work as guide in Radio City.
 He had been in New York exactly one month and he knew no more about the town than was required to get him from his boarding house to the Fair Grounds. After work ing his 12 hours at the Fair, he studied maps and New York City history until time to report for work the next day.
 The pay was good in Greg's new job. He received dollar. for each group of tourists. The experienced guides always ended on the Radio City roof, pointed out the import ant landmarks of the area, and then left their guests with the ad- vice that the guests could remain on the roof as long as they wished. The guide then raced back to the starting place for new group and if he was expert in his job
