Duo to the faet. that the Company's officials had the foresight and g-ood judgment, to guard against, just such conditions as exist in other places because of the dry weather, the local water supplv is. still sufficient to meet all needs and our residents have not had to endure hardships similar to those whic.h many thousands of persons throughout the nation are suffering on account, of the water shortage caused hy the drouth. This is something for which all our residents should ho very thankful.

PEACE-TIME CONVERSION Tn its efforts to aid in the transition from war to peace, the Connecticut Post- War Vlanning Hoard has prepared a point rug ram in which it expresses concern over what it terms the present inadequate status nf National policies and legislation dealing with peace-time conversion." It warns'Congress that speed is imperative in stiiriiilntiiig national planning and recommends that the national government take steps to set up a single central agency to co-ordinate (he activities of governmental agencies dealing wilh ion, re-employment mid reconversion. 11 urges formation of a definite plan to dispose of surplus )fovernment property. Whether or not Congress will adopt the Connecticut Board's recommendation, the fact remains that speed in this is very important ami necessary. dealing with peace-time conversion should lie one of the uppermost thoughts in the minds of- the members of Conirress.

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS has been conducting a campaign for more than seven years to show small industries hiring 500 persons or less the a medical service.

When this is accomplished industry will have talcen a great step forward. WINNING: THE WAR AND A LASTING is the paramount effort of the American people at the moment.

A Painful Ailment PAI.VFLT, cramping of the muscles of the legs occur to all kinds and ages of people under all sorts of conditions.

Middle aged and elderly people rixperionce them The cramps compel the individual to sit down and rest. After a short lime the cramp, or rather the pain, for it may exi.st without actual muscular spasm, goes away and the walk can be continued. This condition is called intermittent limping, or claudication, and is closely analogous to heart pang or angina pectoris. It 'is almost certainly due to shutting off of the blood supply to the muscles, the result of the inelastic and narrowed" li'fe. The exertion of walking; makes the muscles demand more' oxygen more blood, and this demand the narrowed arteries i cannot meet With the period of rest the muscles get.

enough oxy- gen so that, they stop and the walking can-he resumed tini.il tho blood supply proves in- udoqume again. About effective treatment, is to cut down walking to absolute necessities. Other Typos of Cr.imps tBut there are many other.kinds of leg cramps. One. kind, far from being brought on by exertion, conies on at night in bed, and an.

to ihc middle and old group. They occur quite frequently to women in the second half of pregnajicy, but also to young men and women of status Of course swimmer's cramps is still another sort in that, it. occurs to young people, but undo 1 quite violent exertion These are probably essentially, so far as cause is concerned, quite similar to the old ago group of intermittent limpers, in that ihe exertion of swimming demands just more oxygen than the' swimmer's hcaVt and lungs can supply, even if the arteries arc young, thin and elastic To explain the. night cramps of the young while in bed however taxed the resources of physiologists Not that a great deal of research has not been done on the subject One would suppose, Cov instance, that since heat improves the circulation the warmth the bed and bed clothes would keep the muscles from cramping, but Bowers, in the Military Surgeon Journal, showed that with some of these cases tho warmth ncreases the metabolic needs 'of the muscle, whereas cold decreases the metabolic level So kicking the bed clothes off will relieve some of those cramps. this is a poor time of year to bring that lip Nocturnal J.err Cramps At any rate these young pco- ilc's nocturnal leg cramps while bod do not mean any special lisease condition They pass and he outlook is good, hardly any reatment except massage and oot exercises being required The basis of all muscular cramps except writer's cramp which is inother thing again and probably nervous disorder) is I circulation to the part, but trigger that sots thorn is some disturbance of nutrition in the 'muscle Muscles require a somewhat complicated of for their proper function and one ot chemicals they noed is cjj- cium It is possible that the 'diet of tho muscle-cramping is in calcium.

A group of physiologists studying such people reported th.it they admit they consumed almost no milk, which is source of calcium for our diet This is a plain hint towards treatment Tor relief But, ns I said ia beginning, most of ourtex- planations for cramps are theoretic.
