A recent survey by the United States Department of Agriculture and numerous other studies by- state health depart ments and universities, have re vealed an alarming lack of essen tial nutrients in the American diet. The nutrients most often found de ficient are calcium, vitamins A, C, and the B-complex, and protein. All these nutrients are easily obtainable from common, every day foods. Dairy products are a "must" in order to get enough cal cium, add they also supply a gen erous amount of protein and vita min A. Fruits and vegetables are the best source of vitamin C, and are also counted on for their con tributions of vitamin A and B-complex. Too frequently these are the very foods which appear on the "seldom eaten" lists. How do you and your family measure up? Do you serve (and eat) three to four glasses of milk every day, either as a beverage or in cooked dishes? And how about those fruits and vegetables? You should have at least four servings every day. You can help yourself and your family toward good eat ing habits by planning your meals carefully. By serving attractive and well flavored foods you may interest your family in eating foods they have never cared for in the past. Combinations of vege tables with dairy products make especially tasty dishes. For a start er, here are several recipes you will want to try.

When buying, figure on about one third pound per serving, with enough extra for "seconds' and delicious leftovers. Look for pork shoulder picnic in a wrapper that bears a well known brand.
