Your Moneys Worth
Cigarette Score Seems to Be Over
By Sylvia Porter

gains Of 5.08 per cent in June
and Of 40 per cent in May.
The biggest year-to-year de-
clines occurred in the first four
months, but a major explanation
is this years comparisons were
against the first four months
of 1853. when smokers were
boarding in anticipation of price
increases at the end of controls
and thus consumption of cigar
cites was abnormally high.
But whatever may be said
about our mercurial nature, it
apparently takes more than a
set OF scary statistics TO stam-
pede us out of a habit we enjoy.
Having written which, I pause
to light up and relax. i.

Proper Diet Key to Better Health

Eating the right kinds of food
usually means the difference be-
tween being just all right and
development to the highest level.
So said DR.. Paul L. Werner,
Secretary of the Committee on
Research, of the American Medi-
cal Association, recently in an
address before the semiannual
postgraduate seminar of the
Alabama Academy of General
Practice, in Birmingham.
Werner explained that while
some individuals may seem to be
of normal size and as active and
alert as could be expected, they
often are functioning at levels
far below those possible with an
ideal or complete diet.
However, progress is being
made in this field, Werner con-
tinued. Measurements of men
taken into the armed services
and of young people entering
colleges show that over a period
of years, the average American
man and woman has become
taller and more alert.
Pointing out that the life span
in America is increasing stead
lily, Werner said:
Evidence from studies indi-
cate that there are two major
factors in determining the length
of life-nutrition and heredity.
While we cannot select our an
cestors, we can use our intelli.
gence in selecting our foods.
"Credit for longer life is
shared with other factors such
as the development of anti
biotics, better medical and child
care, and better sanitation stand
ards, but nutrition is Of major
Importance"
DR.. Werner suggested that
doctors recommend that their
patients eat a well-balanced diet
from all basic food groups each
day. He paid special tribute to
the dairy and the baking indus
tries for the addition of vitamins
and minerals to their products.
"The addition of vitamin D to
milk insures an adequate mini
mum intake Of this vitamin so
important to growing children"
Werner said, biased upon the
drinking of about a quart a day.
"The baking industry, in CO.

was when l left and anything ar
irving in that mail always SEEM
ed twice as exciting as anything
coming before. The day after
Christmas, Boxing Day, there is
no mail or paper l believe, but
everyone was so full, worn out,
or excited or all three, that no
body cared. Boxing Day is the
day you tip the baker, the milk
man, the garbage man, the post
man (mailman) and the paper
boy to say nothing of the coal
man, for all the steps they have
climbed to your apartment dur
ing the year, all the scrawled
notes they have read, left on pa
per sacks at the door when
you've gone out and left the or
der, all the cheerful and polite
greetings they still have breath
for after having climbed those
stairs and the patience with
which they wait while we fe-
males scramble to the bottom of
our handbags, purses or what
have-you for the money to pay
them. Nobody could begrudge
them or the bus drivers and
other transport workers who
take the half day off after the
holiday any of the small incon-
veniences caused by changed
schedule just on the day chosen
to 60 visit Aunt Jemima.
Well! there is Thanksgiving on
the way next week when though
we find it easy to forget on a full
stomach, the nation gives thanks
for all blessings received through
Gods grace, even those of sight
and hearing and just being that
are all part of the joy of family
reunions.
A Grace, which l believe was
written by Robbie Burns, is one
that l always remember but may
misquote:
There's those haze meat that
Gamma eat,
And those can eat, that want it,
But I hae meat and l can eat,
And so the Lord be thankit."

This would sometimes start as
early as October when the knit
ting, sewing or craft class in
school would put the idea into
our heads with some suggestion
from the teacher. l liked sewing,
especially hand-work, which we
were taught, but being then of
more nervous nature was in
clined to 60 to pieces when a
teacher lowered, breathing down
my neck, to watch how l was
getting along. My needle would
go everywhere but into the right
spot in the material to make a
neat stitch. More than sewing
liked what We called raffia work.
1t was type of weaving, using
thin, plyable cane and raffia, a
dried and plyable fibre from the
raffia palm of Madagascar,
which was dyed many colors. l
think there are still one or two
baskets at home that I made.
Then, as we got into Deem

the party dress to be made or
renovated, the helping to clean

least, buying and tying up the

a mad scramble about week or

Halloween had been dropped,

of time, so that after the summer
holidays had faded into the back

turning to school had also faded
somewhat, the bright light that
put life into our dragging feet

Christmas.
We used to sort of ease our

that it lasted. First of course
there would be saving up for

but argues rather that salaries

II was learned that Mr., Chap
man held a conference with Rev
Harris and willard Merrill. chair
man OF the deacon board before
the meeting started.
Both sides agreed that they
wouldn't level charges against
each other at the meeting, but
would vote only on whether or not
TO retain Harris.
There was a marked contrast
between Tuesdays meeting and
last Sundays toct, 24l IL a. m.
service.
There was SO much tension
then that It overflowed out into
the street and stopped at a police
squad car parked in front OF the
church. ostensibiy, the police
were there for the purpose of pre-
serving the peace.
At Tuesdays meeting Merrill
made the motion TO declare the
pulpit vacant and E, Smith sec-
onded H. The voting was done bq
secret ballot.
II was also agreed that Mr.,
Harris would receive six weeks
salary He was given 30 days to
vacate the parsonage located at
2737 nth Az s.
Tho climax of Sundays tension
filled service occurred near
the end OF the worship, when Rev.
l.. G. Harris, who had earlier de-
fled two OF the church deacons
and sat in the pulpit, announced
from the pulpit that he was cali
ing a meeting for Tuesday night

The minister wasn't interrupted
when he made his announcement
but willard Merrill, deacon board
chairman, Immediately Jumped e
his feet following the announce,
mcnt and declared that there
would be no meeting.

Mr.. Harris made an announcement
OF the meeting fro mthe pulpit
and the police who were out In

This past Sunday, however, the
police weren't called in.
Just before Sundays service be-
gan, Il looked for n moment that
there were some fireworks In the
offing, when deacon board chair
man, willard Merrill and deacon
r.. Smith asked Mr.. Harris not to
sit in the pulpit.
Either the police had been alert
cd or called, because just a few
minutes after the service got UNI

and the two deacons left the

policemen.
During the interim, Mr.. Harris
and Rev. II. z. Byrd. assistant

conducting the services, entered

There appeared TO be divided
opinion among the deacons as to
what they wanted the police to
do about Mr.. Harris sitting in the
