Outlined by Foods Writer

l foam WrIUr)
This week'i food story Is de
voted to ways in which wise
parents can provide keys to
the good eating habits of their
children. So ominant Is the
emotional angle of child
health today thai the U.S. chil
dren's bureau has made this
the Child Health Day theme
for 1953. ' ' '
President Eisenhower's proc
lamation, setting aside May 1
for the nation's children, fo
cussed around greater public
understanding of the emotion
al,, social and spiritual growth
tof children as one way to off
set "stresses and strlans of our
times." The silver anniver
sary year for Child Health Day
teams up with National Baby
Week now being celebrated.
Certainly bette. babies grow
up to be better children, bet
ter adults.
The Key
Boys and girls between
young children and . adoles
cence are in that awkward,
loveable, sometimes irritating
stage, too often misunder
stood. These children want to
be so grown-up, yet they are
till such babies at heart Eat
ing, : sleeping and other rou
tines tend to adjust themselves
if boys and girls at this age
find happiness, security and
affectionate companionship in
their homes.
Pointers for Parents
Parents, however, need to
be relaxed and free from fa
tigue to cope with the spirit
of these youngsters and to
make happy home. To pro
mote good eating habits, wise
parents will set good exam
ple by eating the right foods
themselves.
Assume children will accept
the food served.. Be calm and
confident they will eat it and
enjoy it.
Give children smaller serv
ings, particularly of new foods.
Let them ask for more.
Expect some table accidents,
As awkwardness goes, good
manners will come.
. Let children share in table
conversation. Encourage stim
ulating conversation. Refrain
from using this time for scolding.
Encourage out-of-door play
so that appetites will be keen,
not fussy. ,,i
Establish the custom of a
"quieting" time Just before
meals so children come to the
table relaxed, not tense or ex
Washing up, helping to put
food on the table, pleasant
mealtime; tills is a good se
quence.
Let children go marketing
for the family sometimes, and
add to mother's list some
wholesome foods of their own
choosing.
Help children learn to cook
and serve. Sometimes let
them prepare end serve a
simple meal alone.
Let children feel that they
are responsible for their own
well-being and that they are
expected to follow healthful
ways of living, simple diet,
thorough skin cleansing, regu
larity of eliminations, outdoor
play, early bedtime.
Show an interest in the
lunchroom and other' health
activities of the children's
school. '
Save some time each day for
companionship with children
to promote close family relationships.
Encourage children to "loaf."
at home. They will if they
find understanding and friend
ly guidance, games to play, the
makings for milk shakes, lem
onades, simple sandwiches. .
The After School Snack
Make home the place chil
dren choose for entertaining.
Urge them to bring their
friends home. Good food ha
bits and social ease develop
with hospitality.
The after school snack is a
"must" with many school-age
children.
They'll be happy If mother
is home when they come in
from school. They'll enjoy an
occasional surprise on the
snack table.
. They'll be proud to bring
companions home where they
can serve a little snack; let
them have it right in the kit
chen or take a tray out-of
doors. ' Make them responsible
for both serving and cleaning
up.
Ideal foods are fruit, fruit
juices, milk, milk drinks,
cookies, ice cream, bread and
butter, raw carrots, crisp cer
eaj with milk,, baked . custard
. . . or lemonade ana cooKies.
Lemonade, Plain, Fancy
Just keep plenty of the froz
en concentrate for lemonade
on hand in your freezer or
the refrigerator freezing com
partment and let the young
soda-fountain geniuses in your
family operate at will.
Plain lemonade is wonder
ful and a 6-ounce can of the
frozen concentrate makes a
full quart in a minute. A top
ping of beaten egg white or
marshmallow mix makes a
frothy lemon float.
Mix the lemonade with other
fruit juices, orange, prune,
