194:2, had the lowest infant mortality Tate of any state in the country, despite the fact that the-state had the highest increase in tho percentage of live births. State Health Commissioner Stanley .11. Osborne says that in 1()4'2 Connecticut's infant mortality rate was 29.2 per living births. He reports the mortality rate for as bettor, the rate being 29..1 per 1,000 living births. The figures show that efforts to keep clown the infant mortality rate is mooting -with success.

Another interesting statement is that, made by the United States Health Service which reports that a survey started in 1039 shows that there lias been no increase disease among- Ann.T- childrc'ii, and that apparently time living conditions have had no ill of Foe Is upon the health of the school children of this nation. that's another blessing for which should be thankful. Around the Clock SALVAGE THE FATS the collection of fats for salvage has dropped to a new low in Connecticut should cause many hon.sewives to rospond more frequently generously to appeals for waste fats than they have lieon doing-. Our government wouldn't ask that fats be salvaged if they weren't badly needed. A DREAM I dreamed a dream one night, A dream of you and me There we were a-top a mountain peak And I was handingf'you handfuls of clouds, As the wind carried the fluffy things by.

It 'was a beautiful dream, And I was laughing, too, with you. If only the dream were real And I could actually laugh- Laugh with smiling you. But I awoke too soon, And in the sky were clouds, Heavy, dark, and Reminding me that I had only dreamt, And that you, like the dream, had gone.

I said that our women continue be able to take care of themselves, that they will continue to be the mothers of real Americans and there isn't much to worry about. When the war is over, when our men come homo and peace and sanity reign once again, our women will be'ablo to hold up their heads, proudly and decently iust as they did a century ago.

I had lunch with Bill the other day and he told me-how many requests for epicurean recipes there had been from men in the various services. That very day, he'd received letter from an Admiral asking how to smoke herring. The slogan, "the best fed Army in the world," has been tossed around great deal. People any longer grasp entirely what it means. First of all, the United Stales Army IS the best fed Armv.

PERIOD. The Army kitchen is no harum- scarum affair. In many instances, it is nn oloctric.il job, spic and span, offering open invitation to good cookery. It has everything in the way of equipment i and, believe me. the medical of- sec to it that it is as sanitary as a kitchen can possibly oe made.

Xo can just about see your face in the bottom of an Army garbage can. Thousands of Army lads have been carefully trained in cooking, butchering and baking and most of them have become good cooks. Some, at least, have become efficient cooks, although perhaps uninspired. And then, of course, some will never leavn. Hence the discrepancy between reports from various camps and units.
