FOODS NEEDED

Beginning of school days empha-
sizes the need for the right kind of
food.
If children or adults 60 without
the food they need for any length
OF time, the results will be a tired,
rundown feeling or even actual
sickness, Extension Service food
specialists point out.
If you can afford to buy what you
like, you can afford to buy what
you need, the specialists stated
People who raise some of their
own food can usually get the right
kinds without spending too much
money.
The right foods for good health
are not what all people like, and
not all people know what they need.
The homemaker who has trained
her family to like all foods has made
great stride in solving her meal
planning problems, specialists ex-
planned.
The less variety of food that the
family can afford, the more impor-
tant it is to choose well, low cost
menus need not be unattractiye if
they contain well cooked, nicely sea-

Home Demonstration Accent
by Virginia M. Smith,

Pure drinking water in every
Well' is the goal set by home de-
monstration club women in another
state, a program members in Mis-
sissippi might well follow, according
to Miss May Cresswell, state home
demonstration agent.
The goal was set by the club wo-
men following a check-up on purity
of water in their homes.
Working with their state health
department, the women sent off
samples of drinking water from SO
wells. Sixty-seven of the samples
We're found to be contaminated
Club women followed the recon-
mendations of the health department
in cleaning up the wells, and then
re-submitted samples for second
testing, Final goal is to have all
wells tested and furnishing pure
drinking water in communities
where home demonstration clubs
are active.
If home demonstration club
women in another state can achieve
this worthy goal, I'm sure we can"
Miss Cresswell declared.
Miss Cresswell and the district
home demonstration agents believe
that cooperation of the State Health
Department can be counted on.
I'VE know we can count on all
club members and perhaps others to
join in this worthwhile movement"
she said.

This is the method which Hit
Ter. Goebbels, and Streicher en-
ployed preparatory to the triumph
of Nazism. BY holding up the
Jew to the German people in ex-
actly the same terms as this
motion picture would hold up the
Jew, in the person of Fagin, to
the American people, the Nazis
were able to get the support they
sought on the basis of anti-Semi-
tism.
Since we know that this kind
of anti-Semitic propaganda is the
prelude to the bitterest kind OF
hatred and the worst kind of per-
secution of a people, Christians
must make every effort to pre-
vent the spread of it in our coun-
try. :.

Our correspondent suggests that
if we are to reject Oliver Twist
because the character of Fagln
"puts a blight upon all Jews" we
may as we'll Grid ourselves of Will
liam Shakespeare because his
Macbeth makes a villain of every
Scot.
Apart from the fact that Mac
beth exalts Scotch character IN
the persons of Duncan, Banquo,
and Macduff, there is a very great
difference between Shakespeare's
Macbeth and the portrayal of
Fagir in the motion picture under
discussion. And this must De
taken into consideration in the
light of the circumstances under
which we live today.
For prejudice against the Scotch
is not being used as politicai
weapon for the establishment IN
power of an un-Christian' un-
American, subversive movement
known as Nazi-facism. But pre-
iudice against Jews is being fuseo
tho
for just such a purpose. And tne
method employed for stirring up
hatred against Jews, in order TO
prepare the ground work for the
future success of this suDVersive
movement, is to present the Jew
as a reprehensible and altogether
undesirable person - preclseiS

Public Calls For
Enlarged Hospital
Completion OF Poll OF Public
Opinion Shows Overwhelming
Sentiment In Favor OF EnIarg-
ing Washington Co. Hospital.

ass tOh w. AAOSpANdAs
Completion of an extensive poll
of public opinion, in which the
views of a cross-section of residents
of the area were sought by ques-
tionnaires, shows an overwhelming
sentiment for the enlargement of
Washington County Hospital with
funds obtained by public subscrip-
ton.
In a final analysis of the poll re-
turns, Stanley p F. Kline, president
of the hospitals board of trustees,
reported that nine out of ten of
those who replied said they were
in favor of obtaining public sub
scriptions in a COMMUNICATIVE
campaign to meet the cost of neces-
sary expansion.
A great majority of the residents
OF the area realize, the survey in
dictated, that the facilities at Wash
ington County Hospital are not suf-
ficient to serve adequately all who
may apply for care, and that the
money received from patients is
not enough to pay for enlargement
after necessary running expenses
have been met More than three
quarters of the questionnaires re-
corded the belief that the charges
made to patients are fair, the attitude
of nurses and attendants Is kindly,
and the hospital is managed eff
GENTLY.
We are exceedingly gratifed,"
said Mr.. Kline, ito find that so
many people realize the situation
facing Washington County Hospi-
tai" Reporting that public sub
scriptions were favored for obtain
ing funds for expansion by 81 per
cent of the replies, he added that
this justifies the belief that any
enlargement program which may be
undertaken to enlarge the hospital
will meet with complete success"
A question regarding the posi-
bllity OF obtaining federal aid for
any new construction brought a va
riety of replies. Almost go per cent
of the returned missionaries con-
tanned the correct answer, that the
federal government may meet one
third of the cost if a sufficiently high
priority is granted Incorrect opin-
ions that governmental grant will
pay for the entire cost, two-thirds
of the cost, or no part at all, were
expressed by 3 per cent, % per cent
and Is per cent respectively.
1T must be realized" explained
Mr. Kline, that federal grant can
be expected only on the basis that
at least twice the amount of the
grant is first obtained by voluntary
The primary respon-
sibility for a non-profit hospital rests
with those it serves. Any expansion
program thus becomes the individ-
ual concern of each member of our
community"
That there would be a continued
increase in the demands for care at
County Hospital was at
tested by the fact that 95 per cent
of those who replied expressed the
desire to be treated there if they
were in need of hospital care. In
addition, eight out of every ten said
they would prefer to have their
children born there if they were
about to become parents, announced
Mr.. Kline.
The poll returns were deemed
particularly significant" by the
hospital president, in view of the,
fact that eight out of every ten rep
