Politics in Foreign Affairs

To the Editor Of The Star:
Our foreign policy has sunk to new low.
The pressure we are placing on the Dutch
Government to withdraw its troops from the
so-called Indonesian Republic is just pure
politics How different it was when the
Israelites in an almost identical manner broke
their truce with the Arabs and conquered
territory not included in the Bernadotte plan.
Did We put pressure on them to withdraw to
their former lines? No indeed! We sup
ported them to the hilt. The Arab vote in
this country is very small. So also Is the
Dutch vote. Our foreign policy thus seems to
be merely a continuation of the recent CAM
paign in its appeal to votes Of various pres
sure groups. Apparently it makes no differ
ence to the President that the so-called In
donesian Republic was rapidly being taken
over by the Communists. OBSERVER.

SCHOOL cHlLDREN'S
DIET NEEDS ATTENTION,
WARNS NUTRITIONIST

Most parents take good care of
their babies and watch their diets
closely through infancy, but are apt
to let the school child eat what he
pleases. according to Miss Alice
Glenn Keaton, Senior Nutrition
Consultant, and Mrs. Mary Ann o.
Leary, Nutrition Consultant, State
Board of Health.
Children need more fuel food
than adults in comparison with their
weight" the nutritionists said. En-
ergy requirements for children are
considerably higher, because chill
dren are more active, use more en-
ergy rroportionately and require
more body building materials than
do adults The food needed should
be given in the most easily digested
forms possible in order to avoid
overtaxing the digestive system.
Candy dulls the appetite and if eat
en- before meals will take away the
appetite for those foods which pro-
! vide essential minerals, vitamins
and protein. The most serious OBJ
lection to soft drinks is that they
are likely to displace milk and fruit
juices which the child needs"
! Foods that should be included in
a child's diet every day. stated Miss
Keaton and Mrs. O'Leary, are: -Four
| glasses of milk to drink or in food
such as cheese and ice cream; two
servings of fruit, one citrus fruit
tomatoes or raw cabbage; two serv-
ings Of vegetables; one green leafy
or yellow; about four eggs week
one serving of lean meat, fish OF
poultry day. or dried beans OF
peas, peanut butter, or cheese.

spoke of the education and training
of the Rowan Family, the most of
whom were accomplished musicians.
He pointed out that the deceased
was elected President of Alcorn
College in 1905 and served faith
fully in that capacity for rs years.
The speaker told of the great
building program by DR.. Rowan
which was done from a very meag-
er appropriation: Two boys dormi-
tories, hospital, dining hall, steam
laundry, barn for livestock. and a

Life Expectancy
Is Now SIS Years:
Was 49, in 1900

Millions of children who formerly
would have died in infancy or youth
have survived into maturity and
old age. Because of improved sani-
tation, quarantine and isolation of
communicable diseases, immunia-
ton and the development of spe-
clal treatments, the death rate a.
mong babies and children has been
greatly lowered Consequently, in
stead of about 40 years, as it was in
1900, the averagelife expectancy in
our country is now IS years. Many
of these older people therefore can
be truly said to owe their long life
to preventive medicine.
Since SO many of the infectious
diseases have been greatly reduced
and some practically abolished, de-
generative diseases, or so-called dis
eases of old age. are today far a.
head in the reports of diseases and
deaths. Heart disease leads by a
wide margin. Physicians think that
many cases of heart disease in old
| er people are due to the weakening
effects of some other disease such
| as rheumatic fever, diphtheria, scar
let fever or pneumonia. Cancer is
second place in causes of death.
Mississippi is now waging an active
and aggressive campaign to find
early cases Of cancer and see that
they receive adequate treatment.
This situation, the great increases
in degenerative diseases, must be
reckoned with. 1t constitutes a
challenge to the medical profession,
to public health and to the general

Time For
Summer
.Check-Ups

A stitch in time that saves nine
is having thorough examinations of
preschool and school children now
end having any defects found COR
rected Immediately according to DR..
N. c. Knight and Mr.. D. r. Patter-
son of the School Health Service,
State Board of Health AMI State
Department of Education.
Conditions such as impaired Wis
sion or hearing, diseased adcnoids
and tonsils, decayed teeth, spinal
curvature, mental and emotional
disturbances, malnutrition and many
other defects may, if allowed to go
unchecked, actually shorten the life
of the child or lessen his usefulness
and happiness as an adult" declared
DR.. knight. THE summer is. long
enough for all the pleasant things
of vacation as well as for correction
of physical defects. BY seeing that
their children have a thorough
check-up now, and then seeing that
any defects found are attended to
Immediately, parents will know that
their children can enter school in
the fall in tip top condition"
Stressing the fact that immediate
correction of defects means less loss
of time from school, less fear OF
competition and more happiness and
success in their school work, Mr..
Patterson pointed out that ways
have been provided to secure me-
dical corrections for children whose
parents are not able to pay.
1T is possible to have any and
all corrections made through funds
available on matching basis" he
said. I'm addition to these State
funds, there are local sources such
as Civic Clubs, PTA organizations
Boards of Supervisors and many
other groups who have funds they
will gladly use to match our school
health funds for these services. Par
ents who need help of this kind are
urged to contact their health Off
Ger for further information"
IF Mississippi is to have healthi-
Ter, stronger school children, we
must have the active participation
of every parent in every commu-
nifty" the two officials stated. Nov
is the best time to have your child
examined and to follow up with
immediate correction of any defects
that are remediable.'

The open road was made for
speeding, but who wants to play
a leading role with no fanfare?
Our neighbor state of Kentucky

warning motorists to watch for
children, 20 mile speed limits, and
numerous eye-eatching signs to
protect their loved ones.

We proposed a 20 mile speed
limit and a safety program spon-

gentlemen in Wise advised us to

tion clearly states that there will

strength of such an organization.
Some teachers oppose it on the
grounds. that it is an affiliate of
the American Federation of La
Dor. Those who are acquainted
with labor organizations, and I
certainly feel that l am, know
that the best friends the teachers
have are the labor unions. The
AFL and all other labor organiza
tons have used their influence
all over the country to help the
teachers to get better salaries and
better working conditions; this
in turn has resulted in better
type of teaching.
Some deplore the idea of associ

highest regard for the teaching
profession but have no scruples
IN associating it with labor. It is
certainly more unprofessional to
bow meekly down in fear and do
