As Wartime Dinner Dish
By ANN STEVICK pe a Times Special Writer | WASHINGTON, Aug. 27—Maybe you haven't tried serving the family a shark fillet, but a lot of people have, what with the meat shortage and all. East coast demand for shark meat is booming, so much that fishermen aren’t able to fill all the orders. And the co-ordinator of fisheries (that's Mr. Ickes again, in one
of his many big jobs) has arranged to have a quickfreezing plant take over all the shark meat from a Florida fishery which uses only the livers and throws away millions of pounds of meat a year. . Until recently, livers and skin were the only excuses for commercial shark fishing. Some kinds of livers, inci-

Lives of All Children Are Harmed as Result of War
By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS
Times Special Writer { The war is in some degree altering the life of nearly every child fn the world. The displacement of the usual peacetime pattern is due to such factors as altered family relationships and home con-
ditions,
unusual ‘emotional experiences, the transportation of in-
fectious agents and shortages of food. It would be desirable if the affects of this war could be determined by studies made during the
last war. The magnitude of the
\h.present conflict, however, so over-
shadows the last that the basis of comparison fi is inadequate. The birth | rates dropped: sharply during the last war. §
1918, the infant mortality rates rose abruptly. Children born Be sod of 00 shortage were Dr. Masters unusualy susceptible to every sort of contagious disease such as tuberculosis, influenza and. paragitic infestation. Deficiency dis-. , eases such as scurvy and rickets were widespread and are obvious , effects of malnutrition. Infants born to undernourished mothers | showed few ‘signs of injury and
generally appeared to be in good
condition. : i Growth Retarded
' ‘The restriction of food also retarded the rate of growth and “gize of children born during the ' Jast war. These were later compensated for when adequate food j Was available, and by the time "these children reached puberty, ' their weights and heights coincided with those of the average normal adolescent. ; : Major mental or nervous disturbances attributable to war were
not found significant among the children of the last war. Minor nervous symptoms such as’ mild speech defects, fears of bombing or capture, nightmares and restlessness at night were numerous. The inability to concentrate, fatigue and irritability were preva= lent among school ‘children and usually attributable to malnutrition.
First Effects Appearing
An insufficient time has elapsed to detect all the ffects upon children of the present war, and the full story is not yet in. The infant mortality rates, however, are again on the increase in Europe and presumably in Asia. Contagious diseases such as pneumonia, diphtheria, cerebro-spinal fever and scrabies have shown a defipite increase in Britain. The same minor nervous disturbances are reported, but as before no serious mental trouble has been found. In France, the size and height of children has already been discovered to be below average because of malnutrition,
The children of America have been spared the violent experiences of bombing, invasion and famine. The laxity of home discipline while fathers are'in the armed forces and mothers engaged in defense work has been followed by some increased delinquency, but otherwise no significant changes have been recorded.

“I have made several trips back to Washington since congress recessed and I have talked with many of my colleagues from all sections of the country. I find that the fathers’ draft question is one of the leading problems over
1which the home front is concerned.
“I see no necessity for drafting pre-Pearl Harbor’ fathers now, since we already have an army sufficiently large enough to carry on with the war.” Van Zandt emphasized that the new inventory of the deferment classifications should be more extensive than the periodic checkups ordered by Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, national selective service director. “This time we've really got to get to the bottom of the barrel,” he said. *The WMC it seems, always is. ordering a reclassification of one group or another, but too many men who should be in the army are slipping through.”
{QUESTION USE OF
FUND FOR BRIDGES
City legal authorities today were trying to find out whether an $81,000 balance in flood control funds could rightfully be spent on repair of county bridges damaged by the spring flood. A request that part of the balance be expended on county flood rehabilitation projects was submitted to the flood control board yesterday by Walter H. Barbour, president of the Marion county farm bareau, who pointed out that the board is financed by a countywide 1l-cent levy. Although the board has county jurisdiction, the city council supervises its fund expenditures.

There’s a& method in the tomato madness of Walter Gingery, principal of Washington - high school. He simply wants to show that he practices what he teaches. Mr. Gingery is a very patriotic man. He won't use his gasoline, he won't crowd trains, and he has two sons in the army and a victory garden. This spring he ‘encouraged his West sidé pupils and teachers to garden for Victory. “Then, in true exemplary gchool-teacher style, he sowed the seeds for a garden of his own.
Said He Couldn’t Do It
Mr. Gingery chose the boys’ old basketball court behind the garage at 210 S. Ritter ave., for his garden |, plot. The ground was hard-packed clay, and while the Hoosier schoolmaster worked and shoveled and sweat and probably swore a little, the neighbors leaned over the backyard fence and laughed. They told him he couldn't do it. He had raised almost 200 tomato plants from seed, giving most of them to friends and teachers and students. Twenty-four of them he stuck in the old basketball court. He fertilized the ground, nursed his ‘plants carefully, spent hours tying them up, and then hovered over them like a hen with her chickens. - His tomatoes went up and out.

CAMP LEJEUNE, NEW RIVER, N. C.,, Aug. 27 (U. P.).—Combat dogs of the U, S. marines stood at attention today for a very personal ceremony. They watched the christening of the tract of woodland where they drilled at tracking, messagecarrying and attacking. It is now “Fala Woods”—named for President Roosevelt’s black Scottie.

‘Mr. McMillen is editor of the National Farm Journal, a Philadelphia ‘publication owned by Joseph Pew, the millionaire Sun Qil Co. man. The Willkie supporters may drag out the Schenck statement if a movement of any size develops for Mr. McMillen in which he is cited as a good candidate because of his contacts with and influence upon rural America. His magazine reaches over 2,000,000 farm homes a month. The Willkie forces are interested chieflly in Mr. McMillen’s activities because they see in them an attempt by Mr. Pew, who customarily contributes sizable amounts to the state G. O. P. committee, to keep Mr. Willkie from getting the united support of the Indiana delegation. It is well known that there is no love lost between Mr. Willkie and Mr. Pew. Mr. McMillen in talking to local Republicans is bidding indirectly for native son support by pointing out that he married an Indiana girl while he was editor of the paper at Covington and thus has “lived under Indiana law for 18 years.” The Willkie forces are also interested in the fact that Mr. Pew has just purchased the Pathfinder, a weekly magazine which once had a great rural circulation, # sn
