20: Common Cold
29. —The importance of keéphealth has become paramount
Despite America’s tremendous food resources and medical facilities, illness continues to take a surprising toll
of production efficiency. That fact is established in a sefries of surveys by the American Institute of Public Opinion. From these surveys the following important facts come
to light, 1. Throughout the United States és & whole, an éstimatéd 24 million man-days of work were lost because of illness in the four-week period Nov. 24Dec. 20. This is in spite of the fact that the Novem-ber-December period is normally a period when the INSTT nations health Te and vitality ex- - ceeds the average for the year. 2. In industries connected directly or indirectly with war production, approximately 3,200,000 man-days of work were lost from illness in the same period. 3. The time lost from illness in war ihdustries or war-connected industties would, if it were concentrated entirely on the building of war implements, be equivalent to the time required for the actual building of two heavy cruisers, or 448 medium bombers, or 3200 tanks.
Link Diet, Health
4 One-half of the American adult ulation, surveys show, have not earned that there is a connection between diet and health. A high proportion of people in poor health have poor diets. 5. The typical American family, recent Institute surveys show, consumes only one-half of the amoiint of milk per day recommended by the Government. 8. More than one-third of Ametiean families, or a total of approximately 12 million families, say that lack of money for food impairs their health. But even if these peo-| plé had more money to spend on ood, surveys have found that many of then would not buy the proper foods to improve hei refistance to disease, :
7. Only 4 adult Americans, in évefy 100, oh the average, say they take any systematic exercise outglide their work. Moreover, as many 88 43 per cent say that in any one day they do no outdoor walking other than that connected with their work. Man-Day Estimate
Those facts are of vital impor-| tance in the planning of the national program to “make America strong by making Americans stronger.” Studies of work-days lost from {liness have been made from time
to time in individual factories oreluded between Stalin and Gen.
business firms, but the Institutes survey is believed to be the first on a complete nation-wide scale. The survey covered a cross-section of all employed persons in the United States. Each person interviewed was asked: “During the past four weeks have you been absent from work at any time because of sickness? If yes, how many days did you miss from work?” Nature of Hinesses Studied
The results for the whole country indicated that 23 days out of every 1000 nsan-days were lost because of illness. Among persons employed in war industries or industries indirectly connected with war production, the fliness rate was considerably lower than for the rest of the country— 14 out of every 1000 man-days. The survey also inquired into the nature of the illnestes which kept men and women away from their work. The {illness affecting by far the largest number—approximately onehalf—was the common cold. An additional one-fifth said they had grippe, and another one-fifth said they had been laid up with various minor {ilinesses, such as

ANGLO-RUSSIAN AIMS CLARIFIED
Eden Talks With Stalin in| Moscow, Advancing 3-Power Unity. By A. T. STEELE
MOSCOW, De¢. 28. —Collaboration between the three great powers leading the world struggle against Hitlerism was sighally advanced in a series of conversations between British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and Soviet Premiet Joset Vv. Stalin and his Foreign Comthissar, Viacheslavy M. Molotov concluded here a few days ago. Mr. Eden returned to London today. Mf. Eden's visit to Russia was & logical move following the Atlantic
and Winston Churchill last August and the three-power meetings held here last September. There is every expectation that a similar exchange of views will take place ultimately between the Soviet Ufion and the United States.
Atlantic Charter Is Basis
Behind it all is the Anglo-Ameri-can hope that meetings like these will pave the way for ultimate agreement of views with the Soviet Union along the lines of the Roose-velt-Churchill Atlantic charter. The principal results of the EdenStalifi conversations were these: 1. Strengthening of military cooperation between Great Britain and the U. S. S. R. 2. Frank exchange of views on war aims, with particular reference
shaping of Europe after the pres-
3. Coniplete clarification by Mr. Eden of Britains war position. No agreement was signed.
Postwar Europe Discussed
The most significant feature of the Eden-SBtalin conversations was! & discussion of problems of postwar | Europe. Obviously many points will have to be ironed out before policies] 'dovetall through it is understood | |that the gap between the British land Russian postwar aims is not as wide as might be stpposéd. Nothing has been revealed of the! nature of Russian views on central | Europe though it will Be recalled! that the dgreement recently eons!
Wiadislaw Sikorski, Premier of Po-| land-in-exile, stresses the need for| some form of collective security as a safeguard against any revival of Hitlerism in -the postwar world.
