Feeding the Family

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

for Its energy requirements. 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.

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.

. at
sue of food, says Dr. Clara Davis
of Rochester Health Institute.
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.
