Lord Woolton cited the case of children to whom proper foods are available fo enable them to grow to manhood and womanhood, free from the ailments of under-nour- ishment. . Before the war, he says, well- to-do parents knew what foods to give their children, but this knowledge was not common among working clags "parents. Since the war, and its consequent food control, all families have been on more or less the same diet and the Ministry has made available to parents not only the food but the kijowledge neces- gary to bring up healthy children, "And this knowledge) he says, 'tis not something which will be forgotten." ' In the future, he predicts, chil- dren will be more scientifically fed than in the past, and he ex- pressed-the hope that the limited pre-war program of feeding chil- dren at school only if they were under-nourished had been replac- ed for all time by the modern idea that all children at school need hot noon-day meals. British restaurants and factory canteens are another war develop- ment Lord Woolton expects to re- main. They have brought "lux- ury' meals within the working man's means and their benefits are such that they must continue after the war. Black Market Chief Has A Conscience Soft music came from a radio as New York police quizzed the suspected leader of a gasoline black market gang about theft of coupons for 111,000,000 gal- lons. The strains were interrupted by the voice of a news commentator. It was a faked news report broad- cast by a police officer in another room: ~ '""Horrible news. A terrible slaughter of American troops in Africa." rt Capt. Richard Fennelly said Louis Mongno sat as though daz- ed. 3 The report continued. Men were ambushed and slain because of insufficient gasoline to bring 'up relief troops and supplies. The prisoner and police listened in- tently. Mongno suddenly jumped to his feet, Fennelly said, and" shouted: "I didn't "realize this when I stole those stamps. 1'm a traitor. I'll take you where the stamps are. Come yith- me. Give me my coat. Shut that off. I can't stand it " Fennelly said Mongno led po- - lice to an apartment and produc- ed three potato sacks filled with thousands of ration coupons.
