Retailer Groups
Form State Body
Coordinate Activities on
Taxation, Legislation
And Politics
Retail trade associations of North
Carolina have combined in a poten
tially powerful central body that will
coordinate their activities on taxation,
legislation and politics where areas of
general interest are shared by all the
member organizations.
Thompson Greenwood of Raleigh,
executive secretary of the North Caro
lina Merchants Association, is chair
man of the new group, which is called
the North Carolina Council of State
Retail Associations.
The Council anticipates a member
ship of 20 retail and service organiza
tions representing a total of about
30,000 firms dealing with the public
at the retail level.
Executives at the meeting made it
"lain their combined group would op
pose any new taxes that would fall on
the public through retail firms.
They also indicated the Council and
i its membership would be politically
I active when the general interests of
' the group made such action needed
and advisable. In addition, the Coun
cil plans to present a united front in
lobbying in the General Assembly on
legislation of mutual concern to the
member associations and the public
served by their retailers.

Food Sense—Not Nonsense
!
Winds Blew Free—But Sailors Had No 'C
Os those who sailed the high seas of old, it rarely could be said, “they
Erer had it so good.” Food supplies on voyages were limited and out
iaks of scurvy were common. Scurvy is now known to be caused by
k of vitamin C.
It was by chance that sailors discovered that citrus fruits could pre
i vent scurvy. Science revealed that the anti-scurvy—antiscorbutic—
| properties were due to the acid—vitamin C—now known as ascorbic acid.
Although scurvy is rare in this country today, a lack of adequate
; amounts of ascorbic acid in the diet can be recognized. A shortage will
result In weakened walls of the capillaries—those tiny blood vessels
which form an amazing network in the body. Those who have mild short
ages may bruise easily. Lack of energy, muddy complexions and slow
healing of wounds are other indications of a deficiency. Scurvy in chil
dren is frequently diagnosed as infantile rheumatism. If a deficiency of
vitamin C is not too advanced, it may be corrected by adequate amounts
of the vitamin in the diet.
Because the body is limited in its ability to store vitamin C, this
nutrient must be obtained daily. The easiest way to meet the daily C
requirement is through a generous serving of citrus fruit at breakfast.
In fact, a well planned breakfast will not only furnish vitamin C but
will furnish significant portions of the other nutrients we require. En
riched or whole grain cereal or toast, an egg or serving of breakfast
meat and a glass of milk supply the breakfast’s share of proteins, B
vitamins and minerals.
Daily use of canned or fresh tomatoes, or tomato juice is also a simple
way to get one’s vitamin C. Often overlooked as sources of this nutrient
are potatoes, cabbage and green vegetables, especially if uncooked.
Although vitamin C is more readily destroyed by heat or exposure
to air than other vitamins, it is ""t always lost in cooking; most of the
original “C” is retained in •' 1 potato. Acid fruits, prepared and
