The Importance of good nutri-
ton is told with graphic clarity
in a recent study made on the
dietary habits of the people of
Newfoundland.
The findings of the medical re-
searchers who conducted this sur
vey were made public at a recent
meeting in New York for nutri-
tionists of the United States and
Canada. It's a story that bears
repeating, it seems to me, since
it gives such a clear picture OF
how improved food habits bene-
flied the life and welfare OF our
Northern neighbors.
The Newfoundland government,
concerned about the health OF its
people, invited group of prom
inent medical doctors and scient-
lists from Canada, Great Britain
and the United States to make a
health survey and offer recon-
mendations for improvement.
Their first survey was made in the
summer of 1914; the second one
in the summer of 1948. And this
is important-about a third Of
the same people who were ex-
amined in 1914 were re-examined
in 1948.
In the first report it was found
that several vitamin deficiency
diseases were common, especially
those caused by lack of the B.

vim and niacin). vitamin A and
vitamin c. There was also much
evidence Of dental carries. Many
Of the people showed poor mus
cular development, and infant
death and tuberculosis rates were
two or three times as high as
those of people with similar an
cestry in other areas. They found
school children to be very apa-
thetic, listless and with little in
terest in what was going on in the
classroom. At the same time the
Newfoundland government started
their own program to improve the
health of the people. One step
was the introduction of enriched
flour and the other was the use of
margarine fortified with vitamin
A. In addition to this they put
great emphasis on an educational
program stressing the Importance
of nutrition. In 1947. the Govern
ment distributed limited amounts
of dry milk powder and cod liver
oil in the schools; small quanti-
ties of orange juice were made
available to infants and nursing
mothers.
When the second survey was
made in 1948. the doctors found
many Improvements in health
and well-being. The listless at
titude that was so pronounced
in 1914 had given way to a.
healthy, lively curiosity among
the children. They no longer sat
patiently awaiting their examina-
tions but crowded around the doc
tors to see what was going on as
you would expect normal children
to do. The. doctors found less
evidence of the deficiency OF the
A and B vitamins. and such cases
as were found we're less severe
than in 1914. In the records OF
vital statistics there was striking
evidence of better health. There
was a significant drop in the in
FAINT death rate; death rates for
pulmonary tuberculosis and gen.
eral death rates also showed a
marked decrease.
Because of the low consumption
of fruits and vegetables the def
ciencies resulting from a lack OF
vitamin c showed no improve
ment. If anything, these condi-
tions actually seemed somewhat
worse, nor was there any i'm
provement in the prevalence of
tooth decay.

Friday, May 6, l949 (By The Associated PreSS)

Western diplomats held emer- gency huddles today to figure how they will cope with the touchy is- sues expected to" crop up when they meet with the Russians in Paris May 23.
 An expected Soviet proposal to withdraw all occupation troops from Germany is regarded in Washington as one of the most diff ficult issues the West will have to face.
 Indications are that the United States, Britain and France have yet to decide exactly how they will deal with the proposal, if the Russians put it forward. On many of the other problems the unified Western position already is deter mined.
 Plans already are underway for creation of a West German gov ernment, thus far deve o p against Soviet opposition. Those plans will form the basis of Vest ern proposals for government for all Germans.

Senate Passes Education Aid Bill
tBy John Chadwick

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Sen ate delivered a S3OO,OO0,OO0 fed eral aid to education bill to the House today for the second year in a row.
 The measure swept through the Senate last night by a vote of 56 to 15 after all efforts to amend it were beaten down.
 Ii would authorize S300,000,0 to be appropriated annually to help the States pay teacher salar- ies and other school operating ex- penses. Many schools have lost teachers to better paying employ CTS, an argument advanced by the bills supporters.
 By providing for the largest per pupil allotments to the poorest States, it is intended to more near ly equalize education opportuni- ties throughout the nation.
 An almost identical bill passed by the Senate last year was pig eonholed by a House committee.
 This years measure, part of the social welfare program for which President Truman campaigned last fall, had strong bipartisan support in the Senate.
