of the basic causes of war—and
mainly those rooted in econom

of.. raw materials, stabilization of
,currency, and removal of trade
restrictions.
`The charter," he adds, "is a
well-written, well-organized doc

Nations covenant. We must never
kid, ourselves into believing that

sent any more than the first step
toward peace."

Prof. Padgett Predicts
Higher Nutritional Level
Americans will be able to main
tain a "better than average" nutri
tional level throughout 1945, in the
opinion of Miss Ina Padgett, asso
cate professor of home economics
at the College.
While she believes the over-all
civilian food supply / for 194 1 5 may
Abe five to seven per cent less than
last year, Miss Padgett predicts it
will still be two to four per cent
higher than the average pre-'war
level during the years 19345-'1i939.
"Prospective food supplies," she
said, "are large enough to meet
somewhat larger non-civilian re
quirements than in 1944 and still
maintain a higher level of civil
ian consumption than in pre-war
years."
Wartime meat and sugar short
ages, the nutritional expert point
ed out, may be "a blessing in dis
guise." Consumption of both foods,
she explained, could drop consid
erably and still be to the 'benefit
of the nation's health.
A basic rule for good nutrition,
she observed, is that "one half of
each person's !calorie intake should
come from protective foods—milk,
fruit and vegetables." The supply,
of all these, she added, "will be
more than adequate."

Mental Ilygenist Siresse
Adolescence As Critical
Adolescence is frequently "the
most critical period" in the life of
an individual, according to Dr.
Robert H. Felix, chief of the
mental hygiene division, United
States Public Health Service,
Washington, D. C.
Addressing the Health Educa
tion Workshop now in session at
the College, Dr. Felix defined.
adolescence as "the transition
from a life governed by exter
nal authority to one governed by
internal authority."
Parents, he said, often look
with apprehension upon this per
iod in their children's lives, fear
ful they can't , cope' with the
prdblems, while the adolescents
themselves face "a most difficult"
period of adjustment. •
Adolescents, he pointed 1 out,
frequently undergo painful. per
iods of clumsiness and awkward
ness because of their rapid phy
sical growth—sometimes becom
ing so sellconscious and self
critical that they prefer to live
as , much as possible in solitude.
He advised parents to help
children see their own "strong
points" adding that competitive
sports and athletics are one of
the best ways to conquer self..
consciousness.
Household chores and part
time work outside the home, Dr.
Felix said, often give the grow
ing youngster a sense of"belong
ing." He warned, however,
against a heavy work schedule
which would interfere with nor-•
mal study, rest, and recreation.
"In general," he concluded,
"today's adolescents are a so
phisticated, capable, level-headed
lot."
Building Donors
Only two buildings on the Co.(.
lege campus have been donated by
single individuals—Schwab audi-•
torium, gift of Charles M. Schwab,
and Carnegie ball, gift of Andrew
Carnegie.
Technicians heeded'
All students interested in
working on props, construe•;
tion, costume, lighting and
paint crews for the Pliyerk'

House" should report to. the
