The first of a series of five musicals will star Jane Powell as the Unsink-abl- e Molly Brown. Appearing with her will be Salt Lakes own Art Lund. The production is scheduled to run for two weeks ending June 18. There will be special matinee performances June 11 and June 18. Jane Powell made entertainment history recently when she established the highest gross recorded in Summer Theatre at Melodyland, Cal. She exceeded the previous record holder by more than $20,000. This is quite a testimonial to this mighty mite of an entertainer who still practices three hous a day. In fact, to Jane music is a way of life, not just a form of entertainment. She began her career as a child star and has vitrually grown up in the field of entertainment. Starting first as a movie star and graduating to live performances her name has become synonymous with standing room only at the nations top supper clubs and her appearances on top TV programs have brought her even greater following. In addition to her heavy TV and night club schedule there have been dozens of concert tours. Corp.

People in this country prefer Bread and Flour Enrichment Cuts Deficiency Diseases The enrichment of bread and flour with vitamins and iron, which formally started in this country 25 years ago next month, is regarded by many as one of the major public health achievements of recent times, the Nutrition Foundation reports. In these twenty-fiv- e years, the vitamin deficiency diseases which crippled and killed many Americans before 1941 have virtually disappeared. Rising standards of living, better education, and wider availability of wholesome foods have played a part in eliminating the vitamin defidiseases, particularly ciency beriberi and pellagra, which plagued the nation before World War II. Enrichment of bread and flour are credited by many as a major factor in this remarkable white bread to dark bread now as they did a quarter of a century ago. Then they were not getting in bread enough B vitamins and iron. This was coupled with the fact that many people also lacked the leafy vegetables and meat that might have provided a properly balanced, diet. A number of medical and scientific organizations and agencies, private and federal, were responsible for the major effort necessary to gain acceptance of ;he addition of B vitamins and xon to white bread and flour. Flour millers and bakers were active, also. Bread and flour enrichment could not be accomplished at all until drug companies were able the manufacture the essential vitamins in large quantities at low cost.
