CITRUS FRUITS
TO' 'rfiß EDITOR Or THE PRESS. Sir.—Dn several Wednesday mornings I tprve been privileged to listen to Dr, H. T. J. Thacker giving a talk on dietary matters. This gentleman _is worth listening to, and I, for one, wish to express my cordial appreciation. I have 07 le regret, and that is that who* ever is responsible for the restrictions that” are placed on the importation of citrus, fruits is so lacking in knowledge, of the public welfare. It would be a paying proposition from the point of viow of public health if the Government imported these fruits in abundance and distributed them free until this, menace of infantile paralysis is overcome. , Tfrp distribution of milk to school chiMren has already been decided upon, and wisely, but this question of ciljrus fruit is more vital and urgent. If those in authority, who control the importation of citrus fruits, are not big; enough to surmount all difficulties, they deserve to be dumped good and hard,—Yours, etc., HIRAM HUNTER. January 13, 1937.
