struck up a lively conversa
tion
While they chatted, their
two children began to play. A
winsome little Negro girl, wait-
I ing for her mother to emerge
from the dentist's office, shyly
walked across the room to join
the game.
I Quickly, Mrs. Adams snatched
her confused daughter by the
hand deposited her firmly on
the couch beside her. "At least
we don't have to let our chil
dren play with them," she re
marked to Mrs. Morgan indig
nantly.
Calmly, but loud enough for
all the children to hear, Mrs.
Morgan replied, "I'm sorry, but
I feel quite differently about
the matter." Then, leaving Mrs.
Adams and the little girl, she
strode across the room and
joined her child and his new
little friend.
An awful lot of us are like
Mrs. Adams. We love our chil
dren very much . We want
things to be better for them
than we had it. We worry
about their teeth so we take
them to the dentist. We won
der about their talent so we
take them to dancing school.

gers of exposing our children
to prejudice in a world very
different from the one we
knew when we were growing
up.
Prejudice is poison to the
mind. It can seriously under
mine our children's emotional
health. The child who is bur
dened with prejudice is all too
likely to become a misfit. He
will be ill at ease at school
and at camp, and his uneasi

hood, making him uncomfor

The trouble with progress is

lot of fine institutions.

fear? It is because they have
never objectively assessed the
effect that prejudice can have
on children—their children.
Prejudice is dangerous. A
world where many people feel
rejected is not a safe world for
our children to live in. When
out children are not free to
think clearly and honestly
about the people of other races
and nationalities and religions,
because we have already made
up their minds for them this
huge planet will never be big
enough to accommdate them
securely.
All the way home from the
dentist's office, Mrs. Adams'
little daughter kept asking,
"Mummy, why didn't you let
me play with Eddie and the
new girl? Eddie's mother let
Eddie play." Mrs. Adams
didn't answer.
The next day she attended a
"Rearing Children of Good
Will" institute sponsored by
the Nat'l Conference of Chris
tians and Jews (NCCJ) right in
the neighborhood and in hun
dreds of others across the na
tion.
The first thing she learned
was that mothers and fathers
should tell the truth. They
should certainly not make dis
paraging temarks jn the pres
ence of their children about
people of other groups, but
they should candidly admit the
existence of their own preju
dices, acknowledge that they
are unfair, and resolve to do
something about them.
I didn't let you play with Ed
die and his friend," Mrs. Ad
ams' told her daughter that
night, "because I've always had
the feeling Negroes are sneaky
and dirty."
This feeling is wrong." she
said, "and I am trying to get
over it."
The keys to effective alfalfa
weevil control are selecting the
most effective insecticide and
accurately tihiinjr the applica
tion. Start now to inspect alfal
fa twice a week for sijins of
feeding. Check different parts
of the field. When " tn ."i nut "f
10 plants show damage in the
hud tips, spray immediately
with a recommended insecticide.
If an infestation hits at first
cutting, spray stubhle immedi
ately after harvest.
Several materials are avail
able that will effectively con
trol the weevil without causing
harmful residues in milk or
meat. Of these, one has hecn es
pecially formulated for use on
alfalfa. It is a combination of
J)iazinon and methox.vchlor
called Alfa-tox.
CI rowers have found that
under most condition.*, a spray
of Alfa-tox will tfive 'l-'\ weeks
control of the weevil, and just
about every other insect thilt
threatens alfalfa. However, if
it rains after sprayinjr. alfalfa
fields should he checked airain,
since washoll* can reduce the
effectiveness of any insecticide.
Knomologists agree that th•
battle against the alfalfa wee
vil can l»e won. Hv following a
careful management program
and spraying with a recom
mended insecticide as soon as
30 to r»0 per cent of the hud tips
show signs feeding, th«* W«H»-
vij can IM* stopped.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
has been a magic word in the
daily dietary requirements,
especially of infants and young
children.
Although the exact function
of vitamin C in body functions
is not fully understood and its
relationship to enzymes is not
yet clear, it is known to be
eessential in growth processes
and is found most abundantly
in active growing tissue and
seems to be necessary for the
proper growth and functioning
of all living cells.
The deficiency effects of vita
min C are expressed chiefly
in the bones, blood vessels and
teeth. The pathological changes
of scurvy, for example, are
the direct results of marked
deficiency of this important
vitamin. Hemorrhages may oc
cur due to fragile capillaries
Which result from growth fail
ure of connecting supporting
tissues and perhaps loss of
cementing substances between
cell wall;-.
The highly developed and
specialized food processing in
dustry of today has made it
possible for the average moth
er to find adequate sources of
viamin C 12 months in the
year. In the minds of many,
vitamin C and freshly pressed
citrus juice, through common
notion, were considered to be
the same. But now with the al
most universal use of supple
mentary vitamins in the ration
of young children, the addition
of fruit juices to the diet has
become less important as a
primary source of vitamin C
and more important as a sup
plement to the dietary pro
gram.
As a wholesome w-between
meals food that satisfied hun
ger temporarily but does not
interfere with normal appetite,
there is nothing to compare
with fruit juices. In addition,
the idea if giving vitamin C
