Feeding the Family By Zola Vincent Food Editor Wheel of Fortune Spine Good Health tor Lucky Children The future good health (and fortune) of our Nation depends largely on what our gcpwing boys and girls are eating today, puring the growing years, quan tity as well as properly balanced variety of foods is essential. Growing children are building new bones, teeth, blood and tissues. A wise mother frequently lakes time to appraise the diet provided for the child or-chll-dren. Now is a fine time to spin the wheel of good nutrition and review what it reveals. As to types of food, there are 'three general classifications which should be combined in the child's daily diet. They are: ' Body-Building Foods The body-building foods build and repair muscle and tissue. In this class are milk, eggs, meat, fish, cheese, nuts and certain ele ments in grain foods. Protective Foods These are rich in vitamins and minerals that help fortify the body against many diseases and encourage buoyant well - Being, outstanding in this group are milk and dairy products, eggs, fruit, vegetables, whole wheat and vitamin enriched breads. Certain meats, notably liver and kidneys are in this class. Energy Foods Last but not least, the "en ergy" foods since 85 per cent of all we eat is used by the body lb. Bags!

In this category are bread, cereals, macaroni, rice, cake, cookies and many vegetables. The "fuel foods are butter and all meat and vegetable fata and oils. Daily Food Guide Plan your child's menus to In clude foods in each of these classes' every single day and you'll be giving him the variety of nutriments he requires. The Council on Foods and Nutrition gives us this chart: Milk. Three to 4 glasses. To drink, combined with other foods in ice cream and cheese. Vegetables. Two or more serv ings besides potato. One green or yellow; "greens" often. Fruits. Two or more servings. Citrus fruit or tomato daily. Eggs. Three to 5 a week; 1 daily preferred. Meat, Cheese. Fish, Poultry. One or more servings. Cereal and Bread. Two or more servings. Whole - grain value or enriched. Butter or margarine on bread and with other foods. We are also reminded that Vitamin D is important in the daily diet of growing children. Rich sources are fish liver oils and Vitamin D milk. Other Foods. To satisfy appe tite and complete growth and activity needs, give additional servings of any of the above foods and simple desserts. Servings. Vary in size with the age of the child. Give small one at first. Let the child ask for more. Food Binges Not Abnormal So Junior goes on a food binge. In special clinics such as the Rochester Health Institute, they are making an intensive study of the psychological as pects of infant and child feeding. Through these experiments it has been shown that children, pro vided with a spread of nutritious foods, made wise choices when they used only their appetite as a guide in making their food selections. Parents, they have concluded, should respect the wishes of their children in food. Thev fur ther conclude that there will be changes in tastes and food binges where a certain food or class of foods will be pre- ferred for a period of time. From which we conclude that food binges are natural child phe nomena and should be indulged They'll undoubtedly outgrow the notion; perhaps quickly, unless trustrated.

Mi. iniumw.jn ii OLD ADAGE EASY TO PROVE "As the twig is bent, so the tree will grow" is an old adage that's easy to prove in terms of nutrition; and it s one that mothers will do well to remember.

This is typical, she says, "John ny, you may have your dessert only after you've eaten your carrots". Food choices, the ex perts declare, should be auto matic. Some other wrong techniques deplored are these: Urging one more bite when the the child is full; offering bribes of one kind or another or special privi leges; forcing the child to sit at the table when everyone else has finished; eating to please mother; spoon feeding way be yond the age when he should be feeding himself. The amount of food a child eats depends on how much ex ercise and fresh air he has had and how tired he feels. Not all children eat the same amounts nor does a child always eat the same quantity at every meal. The best guide in overcoming these mistakes is to allow flexi bility in the selection of foods and a willingness to consider the child's wishes. Children Like Variety The experts agree that the right selection and preparation of food and the atmosphere in which it is offered the child are extremely important factors in promoting good eating habits. Children react favorably to contrasts in color, texture, con sistency, flavor and temperature. A very young child prefers luke warm foods and may be reluc tant to eat heavily creamed dishes and food mixtures. Finger foods like whole pieces of fruits, vegetables, are excel lent for toddlers who learn food through touch as well as taste. The commercially packed Jun ior foods along with milk, ce reals, orange and tomato juices and cod liver oil, are the real answer to the toddler's diet. They ar.e available in amazing variety; soups, vegetables, meat food products, puddings and fruits. These require only heating and they're ready to serve. They save time, energy, money. Teen Agers Have Big Appetites When Junior comes of teen age, he often surprises and even dismays his parents by his enor mous appetite. Many a mother complains that he eats more than his Dad, yet is always hungry, that he gets the lion's share at meals and still raids the refrigerator. Nutritionists of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture, how ever, view this appetite favor ably. When his period of rapid growth and development begins they say, a boy needs more calories and also more protein, vitamins and minerals not only food to fill him up but the right kinds of food. When Junior asks for seconds or thirds or even more, recon. cile yourself to the fact that the extra cost of feeding him well is a good investment in health. This condition is likely to last throughout the teens, so don't say we didn't warn you.

Plan (or Traffic Control in Event Of Disaster Told Salem (U.R) The Oregon Civil Defense agency has out lined a plan for controlling the movement of traffic in the event of a large-scale disaster. The plan is based on the be lief that any enemy attack in Oregon would occur in the Port land area, according to State Civil Defense Director Jack Hayes. He said, however, the plan was flexible and can be adopted ehewhere if necessary. Highway Use Limited Only emergency vehicles would use the principal state highways while evacuation ve hicles would use secondary roads and some routes would be set aside for the military only. Hayes said the plan called for police control points to keep motorists from jamming high priority roads. In case of any emergency, the public would be asked to stay home for the first 24-hour period following a dis aster. Routes To Be kept Open The major concern, in the event of an emergency, would be to keep routes open so that help can reach the scene of a dis aster. Police and army officials, along wth Civil Defense agency, helped formulate the plan.
