Better Health Habits
Needed By Children

Although child health has inn
proved greatly during recent
years, it has not improved in pro-
portion to the increase in the
knowledge of nutrition, in the OBJ
servation of Miss Carmen Pear
son, Nutrition Consultant, MiSsis-
sippi State Board of Health. She
stated that some of the chief
causes of poor nutrition among
children in the state are irregu-
larity of meals and meals missed,
poor food habits, too much can
dy and soft drinks and between
meal eating,
"The number of children who
60 to school without breakfast is
alarming" said Miss Pearson.
'They leave home hurriedly to
catch school buses, often without
any food at all or with only some
thing to eat out of hand on the
way. Meals missed and poor nu-
triton make a vicious cycle. The
malnourished child has little ap-
petite and is more likely to miss
meals than is a healthy, hungry
child. One of the most important
contributions the school lunch can
make is in teaching children to
know and like new foods. This
has been accomplished in many
schools; it is not unusual for
school lunch managers to be ask
ed such questions as 'How do
you cook cabbage? My child
won't touch it at home, but says
he would eat it if | fixed it the

way you do at school"
Food is not enough, said the
nutrition consultant. Education
Education must accompany the
feeding program so that the food
practices of the child continue to
be sound when he is away from
school Whether or not a child
accepts cheerfully the kinds of
foods he should eat depends large
ly upon the way they are present
ed and the degree of Importance
he is taught to attribute to the
relation of food to health. Bene-
fits will be reflected not only in
the child but in the community
because Of the kind of citizen he
makes, said Miss Pearson, who
expressed the opinion that educa-
ton in nutrition as part of the
school program is one of the best
means for solving problems of
malnutrition in Mississippi.

Alaska Prices 155Pct.
Above u. 5. Reported
By the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, July 81. The
United States Government says in
report to the United Nations that
prices in Alaska are from 126 per
cent to 1855 per cent higher than
prices in the United States.
The American report, which also
covered three other dependent ter
ritories, indicated construction costs
had virtually stopped the building
of new homes in Alaska and created
serious housing crisis.
The 34-page document made these
disclosures about the other three
dependencies:
/. In American Samoa, the retail
price of meat and fish in 1947
averaged AZ cents pound, potatoes
10 cents and vegetables 40 cents.
2. In Guam, 1915 per cent of the
employable population works for
the United States Government. the
report said: Since the development
of Guam as a major military base
has established wage economy
it is doubtful if the local economy
will ever again be basically agri-
cultural"
3. In Puerto Rico. migration to
the United States continues to In
crease. The report said the number
of emigrants during the 1861
fiscal year increased by so per cent
over the previous year.

Austerity Excise Taxes
Abolished by Canada
sy the Assoeiated Press

OTTAWA. July 31.-Canada s
special austerity excise taxes were
abolished tonight in a series of
government announcements.
Effective at midnight the excise
taxes ranging up to Is per cent
ceased to apply on the broad list
of durable consumer goods on which
they were imposed in the currency
conservation program last Novem-
Der II.
The excise tax repeal doomed
largest for the average Canadians
pocketbook. It means. that electric
refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, cleo
trical appliances. cupboard motors,
motorcycles, firearms and certain
toilet articles, principally brushes,
combs and mirrors. now will be en-
tirely free from the Is per cent tax.
On motor \ cars, radios, phono-
graphs, cameras, projectors and
Photographic films and supplies,
the tax will be reduced by Is per
cent to the 10 per cent rate which
applied before it was boosted In
the November austerity program
The effect of the announcements
is that the tax rates on the goods
concerned returned to where they
were just prior to their imposition
last November,
Finance Minister Abbott said the
continuing improvement of Cana
da's exchange position, the increas-
ing effectiveness of direct measures
of control over imports and the
positive effort to increase exports
seemed sufficiently encouraging to
justify the removal of the taxes.

Reds Raise Tax Rate
On Farmers Who Own
| |Non-CoIIective Plots
By The Associated Press

MOSCOW, July 15.-Tass made
public yesterday a new decree Of
the presidium Of the gupreme
Soviet of the U. s. S. r. raising
rates for the agricultural tax, an
income tax levied on non-collec-
tivized incomes Of Russian farmers.
The introduction of the decree
said it was the consequence Of the
growth of incomes of collective
farmers from personal plots of land
and also of incomes of individual
non-collective) peasant lands"
Collective farmers pay an agri-
cultural tax on their income from
the land or cattle that belongs to
them personally, as well as on their
emoluments from non agricultural
pursuits. The earnings they receive
from working on the collective
farm, which is peasants main
source of income, are exempt from
agricultural taxation.
Tax Rates Progressive.
1 uc CdA IdGCS, WLlIll al e PAoSAOo
sive, were increased in the lowest
income classification-up to 1000
rubles annually-from to II
per cent. In the highest income
bracket-over 5000 rubles-rates
rose from the former 30 per cent to
40 per cent.
The new law specifically provides
that income paid out by collective
farms to individual members in the
form of labor days." including such
payments as are made in cash, re-
main as before completely tax free.
Under the old agricultural tax,
collective farmers or individual
peasants with 1000 rubles income
were subject to pay $50 rubles q
year. Now he will pay 220 rubles.
Those with 5000 rubles income, who
formerly paid $50 rubles as tax. will
now pay $50 rubles. On 1000 rubles
the tax, formerly $50 rubles, now is
$40. On 5000 rubles the tax, for
merly 1920 rubles, is now 1900.
(The oficial rate imposed by
the Russians gives the ruble q
value of about 18 cents)
Big Crop Expected.
Tass also announced that 4,000, 900
more hectares (about 10000, 900
acres) of grain are being harvested
now than at the same date last
year.
The Soviet news agency said that
harvesting is now in full swing In
l6 administrative districts and re-
publics in the Soviet Union. Many
new combines were observed in the
fields.
All indications are that this years
crop will be large, especially in the
Ukraine.
