ALMOST CRIMINAL
If everyone m the United States
was given a satisfactory diet,Nfrom
the standpoint of health and general
well-being, the nation would eon
some twice as much green vegetable*
? and fruit, gays Secretary of Agri
culture Claude R. Wickard.
The National Nutrition Conference,
called to consider the food probems
of the people of this country, em
phasised the need for more attention
to the matter of proper diets, even
by families that are able to afford
all necessary food.
Mr. Wickard declared that at least
one-fourth of our families not on re
Kef have poor diets and estimated
that at least three-fourths of us do
not enjoy satisfactory diets. One
of the best uses for land taken out
of cotton and wheat, said he, would
be in the production of products to
built up the health and stamina and
strength of>our people.
In the South, particularly/ Mr.
Wickard thought there should .be
more diversification and production
for home use.
SERVICE FOR THOSE IN
SERVICE v
The President has asked-the peo
ple of the country to support the
thirty-day campaign of the United
Service Organization to raise $10,
760,000 to defray the operating costs
of 350 service clubs for members of
the armed forces and. for workers in
the emergency industrial areas.
The campaign goal will provide
services for many thousands of young
fnen and women in hundreds of towns
where the influx of soldiers or in
dustrial workers has presented prob
lems which are entirely beyond the
resources of the local community to
handle. By contributing to the or
ganization, the people of every sec
tion of the United States will be
helping to care for soldiers, sailors
and defepae workers, which includes
individuals'from every county m the
nation.

' A WARNING TO SMALL
BUSINESS

terested in the warning of Thunnan
W. Arnold, Assistant U. S. Attorney

ness is is danger of being crushed
by big business and labor. ^
Mr. Arnold, who is in charge of
anti-trust litigation, says that big
business, while not unpatriotic, fears
over-expansion and believes * that
over-production will cut its dividends
after the war. in the viewpoint of
_ big business, "letting the little fellow
in means future competition-:-and
lower prices."
