TIME TO GROW UP
. Ordinarily as towns prow up they leave behind them the
immaturities of behavior for which they were once conspicu
ous. As St. Paul phrased it they "put away childish thinirs".
But not always. We still observe in the adult recurrences of
juvenile manner, even in such communities as the capital of
Oregon where, it seems, people continue to go in for motorized
noise parades to mark the completion of a wedding ceremony.
The Capital Journal comments disgustedly on the practice as
follows :
Wonder if guests at weddings here will heed the admonitions ,
of the police and the ministerial association against post-wedding
nolse-and-speed pursuits of bridal couples through the city?
If they don't, the police may have to break up a few wedding
celebrations by arresting some of the celebrants. These parades
have become a nuisance and a danger to the community.
It has become common practice for the friends of newly
married couples to chase them wildly through town, horns toot
ing and feet pressed hard on the throttles, in wild dashes that
are risky to innocent citizens as well as the participants. .
Generally every young hot-rod squirrel in town feels free to
Join such a pursuit, whether the bridal couple are acquaintances
or not.
' The speed is dangerous and the noise is an irritating nuis
ance. It is high time the practice was wiped out.
We agree. This business of pursuing a bride and groom
about town, with honking of horns and jangling of cowbells
and tin cans, which some humorist has managed to attach to
the rear of the bridal car, has always impressed us as a sense
less procedure, as well as being in very poor taste. It is an
appalling contrast of buffoonery to the solemn, beautiful
ceremony of marriage which it follows. Moreover, as the Cap
ital Journal points out, with growing traffic the silly custom
introduced a needless hazard.
Fortunately there is not a great deal of this sort of thing
in Bend. We like to believe that it is diminishing. But there is
still too much. Bend can do without such demonstrations very
pleasurably, at the same time giving evidence that ft has
really attained its majority.
TOO MANY FIRES
Another thing about the deer season. There are hunters
who seemingly do not realize the destructiveness of a forest
fire, the danger that it holds for life as well as property. Nor,
from the evidence, do they have any conception of how easy it
is to start one. A little carelessness is all it takes. Up to mid
week, 19 fires had been reported in the Deschutes national
forest alone. Almost any one of them could have become ter
ribly disastroiis. Al of them, it is reported, were hunter
caused.
Not a pleasing record but it can be a useful one. Next time
a closed season continuation is contemplated because of dry
weather and special fire hazard the fire figures for this fall
may be produced in evidence against too early opening.
Something to remember even if the precipitation lacking
in the first few days of the season has finally- come to lessen
the hazard in the wooded areas of the mid-state.
Multnomah county's recall election is now assured. Its cost
is estimated at $75,000, which may be put down as one of the
penalties for careless voting less than a year ago. Considered,
however, as the price of rectifying the error committed at
that time, it may be rated a real bargain. Of course, Sheriff
Mike Elliott may be retained in office. Before now voters have
repeated their mistakes, not once but again and again and
again.

NEA Staff Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) Ameri
cans are learning what to eat. .
The most comprehensive study
ever made of the eating habits of
the American people has just been
released by the department of ag
riculture. For the first time it
reveals all of the details of U. S.
diet trends since 1909.
Expert nutritionists who helped
prepare the report agree that to
day's average American menu is
far more balanced and healthful
than it was 20 years ago. Adver
tising and piblic health cam
paigns for years have been trying
to educate the people to this end.
There has been a steady shift
away from the foods that make
you fat to the foods that give you
more energy and supply more of
the important vitamins. In 20
years the average person has re
duced his potato eating 63 per
cent. During that same period
his consumption of canned fruit
juices has jumped 4dJ per cent.
That phenomenal increase is the
biggest single change that has
occurred in the American diet.
From the standpoint of health.
the experts say increases in the
consumption of dairy products,
all fruits and vegetables are the
most significant changes. The
eating of dairy products, exclu
sive of butter, has gone up ap
proximately 40 per cent, r or veg
etables the rise was 40 per cent,
and for all fruits, 41 per cent.
The relative increases are only
slightly minimized by the fact
that the average American's in
take of all food has gone up about
12 per cent. The big Increases in
consumption of dairy products,
fruits and vegetables means that
these items have become a much
bigger fraction of the American
diet than potatoes and wheat
products, the latter having drop
ped 46 per cent in relative popu
larity during the past 20 years.
The diet experts point out that
there are important food elements
in wheat products which are
essential to life. 3ut in the past
there was a tendency to make
them too big a fraction of the
diet. The trend away from that
large quantity which used to be
eaten is considered good because
it has been in the direction of
more balanced diets.
Todav the average person eats
about 1581 pounds of food per
vear, according to the report,
here it is broken down accord
ing to major food groups:
At the top are dairy products
with 431 pounds as the average
yearly quantity consumed per per
son. Next most popular group is
348 pounds of leafy yellow and
green vegetables, other vegetables
except potatoes, and fruits except
citrus fruits and tomatoes.
Third on the list are 171 pounds
of grain products including those
made from wheat, corn, rye, bar
ley and rice. Then next in order:
Ids pounds of meat, poultry and
fish; 115 pounds of potatoes and
sweet potatoes; 106 pounds of su
gar and syrups; 105 pounds of
citrus fruits and tomatoes; 65
pounds of fats, oils and butter, 47
pounds of eggs; 19 pounds of cof
fee, tea and cocoa; and 16 pounds
of dry beans, peas, nuts and soya
products. They add up to the to
tal of lool pounds.
In 1909 grain products were the
second most popular fowls after
dairy products. Since 1909 pota
toes dropped from fourui to filth
place, switching places with meat,
fish and poultry.
Within the major groups there
have also been some interesting
shifts. Corn bread used to be a
popular food down south and with
the lower Income groups to the
north. Average per capita con
sumption dropped from 52-5
pounds to 14.5 pounds. Hominy
grits which are eaten almost ex
clusively in the south have drop
ped from an average per person
consumption of 4.5 pounds per
person to 2.4 pounds.
The report is of greatest inter
est to ail persons connected with
the food business.
