Disaster in Canada
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 The one thing that stands out in the tragedy Of the Noronc is the seeming lack of any plan prep aration to cope with such catastrophe When flames swept this 36-year old vessel, it every man for himself.
 Now the inquiries in progress Regardless of what the findings in these investigations they who met death in the confusion of smoke and flames nor can they do anything the grief of the families involved The results of formal inquiries may establish liability, but far important than this they may produce regulations and practices that will prevent similar tragedies in the future. After the Morro Castle disaster in 1884 safety regulations frightened rigidy for all ships flying the American flag It is to be hoped that the tragedy of the Noronc will produce similar results.
 The catastrophe at Toronto will go down in his tory as one of the worst maritime disasters of all times The deaths of five Cncinnatians bring it particularly close to home for this community.

Lecithin- Rich Foods

The question now arises as to whether this state of lecithin de- ficiency can be remedied by a diet composed of foods rich in lecithin. Unquestionably this can be done. This should then offer a definite hope for the chemical treatment of nervousness, for by supplying the body with the miss ing lecithin, the starved nerves may be provided with the chemi- cal substance they most require for their nutrition.
 Of all known foods, there are only two which contain consider able amount of lecithin, and these are egg yolk and soybeans. Egg yolk, we know now, has the objection that it's lecithin tends to easily decompose and form cholin, poisonous substance and nerve -irritant. It is suspected, by some authorities, that eggs tend to putrefy the body. The lecithin of soybeans, on the other hand, is comparatively stable, and does not tend to decompose and form poisonous products.
 Dr. Horvath, an authority on the soybean, claims that the con- sumption of soybeans is followed by definite rise in the concen- tration of lecithin in nerve tissue, which indicates that soybean lecithin actually becomes part of the organic structure of nerve cells. The fact that the sexual glands, through over-activity, can withdraw considerable lecithin from the nerves, indicates that lecithin deficiency is a well-nigh universal condition, and that the soybean offers a definite remedy for various nervous ailments which have their origin in a de- ficiency of lecithin.

Lecithin
 And N ervo usne ss

A RE you nervous and irritable? IAOn edge; prone to be easily excited, or are you worrysome, fearful, and peevish? If so, then. says modern science your nerves are starved for lecithin."
 Part Of The Nerve Tissue
 Formerly nervous disorders were viewed as purely psycho- logical problems, but now we know that just as the teeth and bones go wrong when there is a lack of calcium or vitamin D, so the nervous system goes wrong when there is lack of lecithin, for lecithin is chief constituent of nerve tissue, just as calcium is a chief constituent of bony tis- sue. The nerves can no more be healthy and normal with lack of lecithin than the bones can be healthy and normal with lack of calcium.
 Modern investigations have shown that large numbers of peo- ple today suffer lecithin defi- ciency, and that when this leci- thin is mild, it affects primarily the nerves.
 Also Constituent of Glands
 Lecithin is a chief constituent of the various endocrine glands, those chemical directors of the organism which control various physiological activities. T h e gonads are rich in lecithin, and so are their secretions. Over activity of the gonads can cause considerable lecithin to be with drawn from the body, and this may result in a deficiency of this substance, leading to under nourishment of the nerves and brain. This, it seems, is one of the most frequent causes of leci- thin deficiency a very common condition nowadays.

Britain Satisfied
With Advance Toward
Recovery Under ERP
By the Associoted Press

LONDON, Mar. 1.-The British
government said today it feels
reasonable satisfaction" with the
country's progress toward eco
nomic independence under the
Marshall Plan.
The statement was made in a
white paper covering the last
three months of 1948 and looking
forward to more progress in CO.
operation with other countries of
Western Europe.
The government recognizes "the
need for developing popular
knowledge of the important part
played by American aid in forti-
flying the recovery effort of the
United Kingdom" the white pa
per noted.
1T is also seeking to promote
a full understanding by the Brit
iSl1 people Of the need for Coop
Grafton with the other members
OF the Organization for European
Economic Cooperation in the So
luton Of the difficulties of West
ern Europe as a whole" :"
3 Factors in Satisfaction.
I The feeling of reasonable salts
faction" with the country's effort
was based on these factors:
Il. THE remarkable production
achievement" of Britain which
would not have been possible
without che very important gen.
eral support to the economy given
by American aid" 4
2. An estimate that Britain must
have approached very close" to
balance in it's trading accounts
with all the rest of the world.
However, the white paper warned
that this improvement in the
overall position should not be al
lowed to obscure the still serious
dollar deficit"
In short, near balance has been
achieved by surpluses with non-
dollar countries.
3. An increase in trade among
European countries.
Foreign Trade Increases.
The white paper said that in the
last three months of 1s4S Britain
exported f114.843,000 (S459,372.-
000) to OEEC countries, a rise of
f4,416,O0o (s17,664.00O over the
previous three months.
During the same period British
imports from OEEC nations rose
