Johnny Should
Drink Milk

Want TO encourage Jane or
Johnny to drink more milk?
Try setting up a milk-shake
center in your home, suggests
Nina Lou Baird, Wayne County
Home Demonstration Agent.
AS the weather gets warm
and the youngsters appetites for
cooling beverages increase, par
ents may wisely encourage milk
drinks.
Everybody needs calcium ev-
cry day. There are just three
natural storehouses for calcium
milk, bones and eggshells. Of
these, we use only milk as a
food.

.Criiicizes Eden
AS 'Fumb|ing

LONDON. Jan. 4 tR.-Prime
Minister Eden's waning prestige
with the conservative press hit a
new low today when the Daily
Sketch advised him either to
supply the quits of leadership
or quit.
The tabloid strongly supported
Sir Anthony and his ConServa-
tive Party in the national cleo
ton only eight months ago To-
day, in a front-page editorial. il
accused him of "feebleness and
fumbling" toward foreign policy
problems and Britain's worsen-
ing imitation.
IF he docs not tackle infia-
ton. his days in Downing street
1.-THE official residence of the
Prime Minister are numbered,
the Sketch declared.
The editorial added that mem
bers of Sir Anthony'S own party
are saying, IF he cannot make
up his mind to govern, let hin
make up his mind to 60"
Tone MOderates Later
In later editions the Sketch
toned its editorial down con.
siderably but still said the Prime
Minister'S critics complain that
he will do nothing until he is
showed into 1t. that he drifts
rather than makes decisions.
The blast in the Sketch eli
NAKED a week of severe criticism
during which even the staunchly
conservative Daily Telegraph and
Daily Mail turned on Sir
Anthony. once their fair-haired
boy.
The Telegraph said yesterday
his government has lost both
decisivenesS and prestige and
this is the time for doing what
is right. not what seems ex-
pedient-for courage, not fol
timidity."
The Mail said the government 5
good name abroad had suffered
seriously because of the recent
disclosure that surplus British
tanks and other weapons had
been going to Egypt via Belgium
in a series Of under-th counter
deals.
The Mail said Britain's loss oil
prestige in this affair lis the fac
which usually attends delay and
indecisiveness."
GaitskeIl Wants Debate
Hugh Gaitskell. leader of the
opposition Labor Party. has de-
manded the recall of Parliament
from its holiday recess so the
arms disclosures could be de-
bated before Sir Anthony and
Foreign Minister Selwyn Lloyd
went to Washington at the end
OF the month.
Sir Anthony turned that de-
mand down. but said the govern
mcnt would publish a white
paper giving the facts about the
surplus arms traffic with the
Middle East. Earlier this week
the government announced such
material could be sold to foreign
countries only If they guaranteed
that ii would not be used fol
