HERE’S AN ANSWER TO SUGAR PROBLEM Timely Tips Concerning The Ever-Present Desire F Sweets In The Diet ** A sweet appetizing food at the end of a well-balanced meal” is cited by Dr. James A. Tobey as not only satisfying the appetite but actually promoting good digestions. Yet in these days of rationing when the family wants to make its sugar card go as far as posible. furnishing satisfaction for the school child’s often insatiable de mand for sweets, might present a difficult problem were it not for j tie vast American food industry. There are. for example, the bak ^rs who have done a notable job of making sweet deserts possible for the whole family during these war times, by deft and healthful production of cakes and cookies which children love so much, and which, incidentally stimulates youngsters to drink the milk so es Bential to their diets. This sourse of supply for sweets Is especially important to war busy mothers who have much less time than they used to have to plan spe cial deserts for school children. Now they can count on their baker or grocer 101* a wholesome lift. Another very important source fnr sweets required by the school child is from canned fruits, the Juices of which should be carefully preserved and used. Fruit, with its Juices, and cakes or cookies are £--a,lable in such great variety rs to provide frequent change for the program of sweets for school children. -V luminous Shoe Bows Cut Down Fumbling Two new "blackout” fashions that college girls have taken into their wardrobe are the new lumin ous bows and slippers.

Jay lor f 131 NORTH FRONT ST. * URGING CHILDREN ON TRAFFIC FRONT TO ACT LIKE HEROES A WOO SOLDI« OUTS AU (OHMAKDS MAY MEAN LIFE OR DEATH 4___ AlERT f EVERY DANCER By observing safety rules on the street, children will be acting like soldier heroes! That is the theme of a new 1942-43 “Victory Heroes” safety poster series being distributed to schools throughout America by A.A.A. motor clubs. The 'Unique new posters combine an illustration of a victory hero doing an important war job with a companion illustration showing children observing a street safety rule. Drawings are baesd on official Army and Navy photographs, and children and teach ers in Washington, D. C., schools, with whom the posters were checked, were enthusiastic about them. Developed by the American Automobile association, Washington, D. C., the poster series and accompanying lesson sheets for teachers’ use will be made available without charge to over 100,000 teachers in schools throughout the country. Traffic Hazards Still Threaten Children Despite Shortage Of Tires And ‘Gasoline ---—+ _ ---- Winter Park Addition Is Ready For Opening Four new classrooms, a science laboratory and an activity room, which will provide library space, have been completed at the Winter Park school i nthe $26,000 addition to the building. Although no changes have been made in the Winter Park school district, eighth grade pupils from Carolina Beach will be transported to the school. Teachers assigned to the Winter Park school for the year included C. G. Berry. Miss Bessie Alderman, Mrs. Charlotte Collett, Mrs. Ida M. Crockett, Miss Helen Dobson, Mrs. Marie T. Hall, Mrs. Inez Hin nant. Mrs. Jean Morton Joyce. Miss Janice Pickard. Miss Eleanor Rothwell, Mrs. Kenneth Winstead, and Miss Clarissa Humphrey. -V DAY OF OPPORTUNITY After school working opportuni ties await many a bright young high schooler in stores and shops from which older brothers have been call ed into the armed services. Money may be earned with which to buy War Bonds and Stamps, in part time jobs. -V Tiahuanaco, Bolivia, is said to antedate even Ur and the ancient pyramids. Quit contrary to a general im pression all too prevalent through out the nation, the traffic hazards confronting school children this fall will not necessarily be di minished as a result of the rub ber tire and gasoline shortages, the car sharing plans and the readiness of the average patriotic citizen to make his automobile last longer by driving it slower and less frequently. Warnings are being issued by police, school officials and na tion-wide organizations interested in child safety, like the American Automobile association, that there must be no relaxation in safe guards provided for youngsters as they go to and from school. If anything, according to Russel E. Singer, general manager of the A.A.A. school children will be con fronted with the most hazardous traffic conditions in history—haz ardous conditions that he attributes to the war. Home Front Army The more than 300,000 members of the School Safety Patrols in 3,500 communities in this nation, form ing what becomes a “Home Front Army” this year, are faced with a challenge that will require them to do the most effective job of their most commendable history. Mr. Henry cites the million or more trucks that are being used to transport national defense pro ducts; the Army’s own fleet of more than a quarter of a million vehicles the cars carrying war production workers in groups to | and from their jobs, over both rural and city highways. “Many of these drivers are not familiar with location of school crossings,” he points out. "Many are in a hurry. “More police are needed for duty especially at hazardous school crossings, but many police have been taken from traffic duty to do anti-sabotage and other war time emergency work, leaving to the school safety patrols the job of protecting these corners ” New materials and helps for schools and police are in prepara tion for dispatch to schools and police this year, with a plan for making the patrols an even more vital influence in the safety for school children movement. Need Parents’ Help Yet all these aids, efficient and helpful as they are, must be supple mented by the action of the par ents of school children both at home and in community affairs. The patrols need their support and their encouragement. The effectiveness of the activity of the stalwart young lads who wear the white Sam Browne belts, shining badges and yellow rubber ponchos, will be helped consider ably by the respect in which these youngsters are held by parents as they talk with their own school age sons and daughters and their adult friends as well. -V SUITS MOST POPULAR Suits for school girls should be more than ever popular this year for their practical usefulness, their trim business-like look, and espe cially for the thriftiness of ward robe management that can be achieved through careful selection of the appropriate model for you. ON HOME FRONT School patrols, made jp of boys like the polite lad pictur ed above, will help their class mates to traffic safety this year, with clearer appreciation for the added burden on their should ers as regular police officials must turn more of their attention to war time problems, Parents Must Safeguard Vision Of School Child BY G. R. TRUMBULL Better Light, Better Sight Bureau Eyesight plays a vital part in our health, happiness and work, pleasure, and Victory. It is our mos prized possession. More than 80 per cent of our impressions come through this means. Thus the clarity of our thinking, the efficiency of our functioning in behalf of ourselves personally and the welfare of our country, is | strongly affected by the condition of this important human power of seeing and seeing well. Eyesight becomes a subject of special concern now. as the open ing of this historically significant school year during the war time, approaches. The future of the na tion and the world, from which we fight, is the heritage of these school children. They are the adult* of tomorrow upon whom the re sponsibility for carrying on will be shouldered. Concern for their vision is vital, therefore, both with ’■espect to their work in classrooms and the study in which they will have to engage after school hours, in their homes or college rooms. First of all. parents must be con cerned about how good is the vision of their children. The examination of the eye and prescribing for its needs is a professional specialty. Danger Signals We may often recognize danger signs indicating the need for expert examination of the eyes. These in dued constant rubbing of the eyes, squinting, frowning or scowling, holding work close to the eyes, wa tering or discharging from the eyes, reddish eyelids, and others. No age is immune from eye troubles. We could remember that many children develop eye defects even before school age. School testing reveals many pupils whose ryes need attention. Nor does the need for watchfulness cease as we grow older. Happily a great deal can be done comparatively simply for many of our eye difficulties. In some instances our eye trou bles result from abuse. We do not use our eyes properly and we do not use our light properly. Fail ure to do so results in discomfort and, in some cases, worse. Prolonged reading, studying, and other close eye work will result in headaches, fatigue, nervousness, irritability and even more, espe cially if done without frequent per iods of resting the eyes and also it the light is poor. Lighting Standards It is so easy and comfortable, when engaged in long or difficult eye work, either to close the eyes oi look off in distance for half a minute or so every ten or fifteen minutes. There are standards of good lighting which, when observed, can do much to preserve and promote the health and strength of eyes of adults as well as the young. There are standards of good light which are simple and easy to re member. Better light for easy seeing re sults fro (1) proper amount o lights for your eyes to do the job, (2) proper direction of light, with no shadows on your visual task; (3) proper distribution of light, with lamps and fixtures placed correctly; and (4) freedom from glare, or uncomfortable seeing, through properly designed lamps and fixtures. -V Wrightsboro Teachers Announced By Roland Twelve teachers are on the fa culty of the Wrightsboro school this year.

M. Roland said yes terday. A total of 73 persons will be on the high school faculty this year. Several of the teachers will hold classes in more than one department. Mr. Roland said he had had no indications of what enrollment at the high school would be this year. New families moving to Wilming ton to take up jobs in war indus tries have failed to affect the high school enrollment materially thus far, he said, because many of the youths of high school age take jobs themselves. New Floors During the summer, a force of workers has been busy resurfac ing the corridors of the high school building on Market street to eliminate holes worn in the hallways and the work should be completed by the opening of school, Mr. Roland said.
