Child uses hunger strike
to win power over porents

that of getting the child to eat
the quantities and kinds of food
which his parents think he should
have.
IT is generally agreed today
that infants and children have
a far greater capacity for regu-
lating their own diet than is
usually allowed. This means
that. provided parents offer the
child a diet adequate in the
nutritional elements necessary
for his growth. they can let him
choose the amounts of each food
that he wants TO ca.
From infancy on, the child
should never be coaxed or forced
to eat more than he wants of any,
thing. This way he will not have
the opportunity to build up a
resistance to certain foods or to
eating in general-provided, of
course, his parents do not air their
own dislikes for him to initiate.
THERE ARE a great many chill
dren who are finicky eaters, and
plenty of adults too who don't
eat this thing or that because OF
food antipathies or because it
"disagrees" with them These poor
eating habits almost always have
their source in forced feeding
when the infant or young child
was made to eat more or differ
emit kinds of food than he wanted.
The wise mother will consi-
der her child's individual tastes
when she cooks for him-not to
pamper him but to foster his
pleasure in eating. A good ap-
petite is the goal-not training
him to eat everything that is
pub before him.
The Importance of good eating
habits can hardly be over-empha-
sized, and like so many other
things, have more far-reaching
results than just the convenience
of the moment. Prevention of
problems is always easier than
their cure; however all is not lost
for the problem eater and his
parents. There are mealtime pro-
cedures which are helpful in many
cases and which will be discussed
here in following article.

Many a child has learned that,
by refusing to eat, he has power
over his otherwise all-powerful
parents, for he knows there is
nothing which causes them quite
as much anxiety or Illustration as
to see him sit before meal, COM
pletely Indifferent to his food,
twisting and turning in his chair,
playing with his utensils or using
the occasion to be his most con-
versational
Almost always. in connection
with this kind of situation. the
parents resort TO various tricks
in order to get the child TO eat.
These tricks usually start sim
ply, such as encouraging the child
to eat in order to see the picture
on the bottom of his plate or
telling him stories while he eats;
but as their novelty wears off,
they develop into more and more
elaborate entertainment and dis
traction devices. The mother of
one three year old went so far
as to pin carrot tops in her hair
and dance around the kitchen
with a broom to. keep her boy
from noticing when she popped
Q spoonful of food into his mouth.

The U. S. Inspected Foods Edu-
cational Service this month car
ries a study of tomato juice by
grades, particularly appropriate
choice since more tomatoes were
canned as juice last year than
were packed in any other way.
Grade A tomato juice has the
typical color of well ripened to-
matoes, has good consistency and
flavor and is practically free from
defects. It's best used as be~-
erage, in nodded salads or frozen
into ice cubes for chilling vege-
table juice appetizers in an inter-
esting fashion.
Grade c tomato juice, which is
much cheaper, is reasonably free
from defects and has fair consis-
tency, color and flavor. 1t is per-
fectly good to use in soups, cas-
serole dishes, meat loaf, stews or
other less tender cuts of meat or
poultry or combined with other
vegetable juices or seasoning.
y
SAVE YOUR grade A tomato
juice, therefore, to use for special
purposes and try the c grade in
such easy recipes as these:
l-2-3 Appetizer
cups tomato juice
" cup orange juice
8 tablespoons lemon Juice
teaspoon Worcestershire
sauce
teaspoon salt
Combine all ingredients and
mix well. Chill, pour into glasses
and garnish with chopped parsley
and lemon. Serves 6.

FRENCH WORKERS MUST SPEND so TO 100 PER CENT OF THEIR INCOME FOR FOOD

According to recent statistics, food currently consumes almost the entire income of skilled and un- skilled workers, white-collar work CTS and government employees. If 250O calories is taken as the aver age daily adult requirement, the cost of days food for the French worker is 335 francs (of which 05 francs must be spent for rationed items and 25O francs for non-ra- toned items). Furthermore, the figure of 335 francs represents av- craze daily consumption as it is, rather than as it should be. A properly balanced diet would today cost 43O francs per day. Inasmuch as the average monthly earnings of semi-skilled French labor last May were 10000 francs and of skilled labor 12,0O0 francs, it can readily be seen that French working-class families must spend 80-1OO% of their income for food.

BOY SCOUT JAMBOREE HELD NEAR PARIS AUGUST 9TH TO FIST

From August 9th to 21st some B. 900 Boy Scouts, representing 54 countries, encamped at Moisson near Paris for a great Peace Jam boree. The United States sent a delegation of over HOO boys. Other delegations present included those of Austria, Canada, China, Egypt, Great Britain and it's dependen- Cies, France and it's OverSea Terri tories, the Scandinavian countries, the South American countries, Czechoslovakia, Burma, Iran, Cy- prus, and the Philippines. The scouts were housed in city of tents provided with running water and electricity that sprung up as if by magic in a wooded region where formerly the pheasant was king. In three short months, the French National Railroads created a special station on the Paris-Ver- non lines known as "Rosny-Jam- boree." In a wooden barracks scouts or former scouts who are professional journalists, press pho tographers and cartoonists edited and published a special eight-page daily called "Jamboree-France." ." The American delegation which disembarked at Antwerp on Aug ust End gave a day-by day demon stration of American methods of camping. On August 16th, they presented a great parade tracing the progress of democracy in Amer ica from the early pioneering days to the present time.

PREPARATIONS FOR FRENCH ATOMIC STOCKPILE
 SHOWN TO JOURNALISTS

The Atomic Energy Commission directed by Frederic Joliot-Curie, one of the worlds leading nuclear physicists, recently permitted French and foreign journalists in France to visit the laboratories es- tablished at the Fort de Chatillon for the study of atomic energy. France has no atomic bomb fac tories, it has only workshops and laboratories. These are magnifl- gently equipped and are at present manufacturing hundreds of preci- sion instruments destined for use in research laboratories. Others will aid in the work of the sixty four uranium prospectors who, under the direction of M. Jollot- Curie's Commission, are searching all over France and the territories of the French Union for deposits of uranium and other radioactive substances. The workshops are also engaged in purifying the ura- nium already obtained. Until 194O France led the world in nuclear research; it is now her objective to regain this pre-eminence in the discovery of pacific use of atomic energy. The first small Stockpile will be ready by 1948 and will serve in the production of artifi- cial radioactive substances that can be used by doctors and biologists as a substitute for radium which is rare and costly. The Commission is planning to establish Center for Nuclear Studies that will be the first of it's kind in the world. Here, doctors, physicists, chemists, biol ogists and chemists will use the first stockpile to broaden the field of application of atomic energy. Only later, when a larger pile is available, will it be possible to construct generators of atomic en- ergy for industrial purposes.

 Pointing out that the P. U. c. Public Utilities Commission was handicapped "in that two of it's members have recently assumed office and 4ts finances are insuf- ficient," MT. Rourke continued. If the Commission is to continue to enjoy the confidence of the pub- lie it is necessary, in my opinion, for representation to be made to the Governor that funds should be made available to enable the Commission to engage utility rate expert, capable of presenting the peoples case before the Com mission adequately and thorough ly."
