Foods Editor Talks About
Teeding Little Folks
in case you hadn't heard,
1954 was a wail of a year! Or to
put H another way, 1954 was a
howling success, baby-wise. Once
again the tireless stork outdid
his own best record, filling well
over 4,000,000 cradles ol the
nation. The bia family trend
continues to stump the experts.
That's what Lucille Shearwood,
women's news editor for a big
babv food company, told us and
documented her statements with
fascinating statistics.
A scant 10 years ago, a steady
population decline was being de
plored. Instead of which, we ve a
baby boom that continues to daze
Uncle Sam (and grandparents)
and to dazzle purveyors of baby
fooo. clothing and other essen
tial equipment.
All of these babes arrive Teady
to eat' And their individual de
velopment depends much upon
the foods fed the Infant and
growing child to the end that he
build a sturdy body in which a
good mind can develop. Our job
as parents is to let children grow
up with natural enjoyment of
food. And that's our theme for
today as this newspaper helps
celebrate Child Health Day, May
1. which launches National
Baby Week.
Feeding Liztie Folks
We as parents may know what
foods are good for children but
unless we know what to expect
in children, we're likely to have
food fights on our hands. Experts
tell us (1) No two children are
exactly alike. Children differ in
body build, in food habits, in
food requirements both . as to
kinds and .quantity. (2) Children
go through' similar stages of de
velopment. Each needs to grow
in his own time and his own
way. (3) Every child needs to
do for himself whatever he is
abie.to do. First efforts will be
awkward but should be en
couraged because they are steps
toward health and growth.
Parents find comfort when
they understand that children's
disturbing eatin? behavior often
is a natural pp.rt of their devel
opment. It still may be difficult
to endure, but betwen one and
five years you can expect: great
activity, some contrariness, much
imitation, a need for routine,
some dawdling After all, baby
has no sense of time. Why should
he rush when the first keen edge
is taken off his hunger? Then
again, he's likely to go on food
"jags." If his menu is not too
impractical, you can be casual
abjut it since he's not apt to
stay on the "jag" very long.
Give child the security of a
dive a child the security of a
simple rules agreed upon by
both parents. Too many confuse
him. He needs to know what to
expect from both parents. We
don't insist upon a clean plate
before dessert but small portions

are very important.
The time to teach a child to do
things is when he shows he
wants to learn. If he is pushed
too early, failure frightens him.
If he is held back when he is
ready, it may be hard to interest
him in learning later. Let him
feed himself when he wants to
try, however devastating to sur
roundings.
Tossed Cereal
We westerners favor the toss
ing ol saiaa greens, Dienaing
good flavors, so why not give
the family a treat by tossing or
mixing together two, three or
even more kinds of ready-to-eat
cereals in a large bowl. The us

with fruit or strawberries.
Apple Oalmeal. Top generous
bowls of hot oatmeal with cin
namon apple sauce made like
this: Make a syrup of one-fourth
cup sugar, one-half cup red cin
namon drops and one cup water.
Add thin unpeeled apple slices
and cook until tender. Serve
with generous pitcher of hot or
cold milk.

New Health Values
Found in Oranges
Don't be frightened away by
the scientific verbage but we
think you should know as a
point of information while you're
feeding the family, that new vi
tal health values are found in
fresh whole oranges; certain
values, called bioflavonoids,
that seem to get lost in process
ing. . '
So we want to give you this
good advice. In addition to
drinking "yom orange juice, in
clude whole fresh oranges daily
for your family's buoyant grow
ing health. ; .
The health value of the orange
has been recognized for genera
tions Long famed for vitamin C
which is essential daily to proper
body functioning, , research con
tinues to reveal other vital uses
of vitamin C with nutrients call
ed provitamin A, the B vitamins
and calcium and iron along with
the protopectins which are
found in the solids of fresh or
anges, in the walls of the seg
ment? and in the juice sacs.
Exciting tiling about biofla
vonoids is that, working with
vitamin C, they strengthen the
walls of the tiny blood vessels
or capillaries (and there are 62,
000 miles of capillaries in the
body), help in the treatment of
rheumatic fever, vascular di
sease, habitual involuntary abor
tion and infantile paralysis ...
besides doing as everyday job
of helping maintain good health
through proper diet.
Keep a supply of fresh oranges
on hand for peeling and eating
as is. Let the children "reach for
an orange whenever they like
Sliced, halved or sectioned,
they're wonderfully good as well
as being "good for you."
Ways with Oranges '
Orange Dessert. Pour one-half
cup warm honey over sections
from six oranges. Chill, sprinkle
with chopped toasted almonds
or toasted coconut and serve
with angelfood cake.
Orange Salad. Remove pulp
from orange shells with grape
fruit knife. Dice pulp and add
to slaw with a little chopped on
ion and watercress. Heap in
orange shells to serve.
Orange with Lamb. Dot or
ange with butter, sprinkle light
ly with brown sugar and dust
with curry powder. Broil and
serve around lamb roast or
chops.
Children's Food Preferences
Make Interesting Patent Reading,
Research has revealed these
interesting and important dis
coveries about the food prefer
ences of children.
Small children are actually
sensitive to the flavors of foods,
their odors and temperatures.
They dislike both ice-cold and
very hot foods and beverages.
Lukewarm is the trick.
Young children prefer starchy
foods soft, very soft. The experts
prepare puddings and custards
with just half the usual amount
of cornstarch. And mashed pota
toes are served moist to the point
of slushiness. But children also
enjoy finger foods and should be
permitted to eat whenever pos-

Difficult For A Mother -To
Work and Keep House
No one will deny that it is a
hard job for a
man to earn
enough to sup
port a wife and
children. How
ever, it is not
so easy for a
woman to
work to help
her husband as
this man suggests.
(Q) "I do not agree with the
advice you gave the woman
whose husband puts his pleas
ures before his family's support.
A wife should get out and get
a job. too. She can't expect a
man to pull the load alone. We
have three children, but that
doesn't stop my wife from help
ing out. A woman can't expect
security for herself and her chil
dren if she expects the man to
do all the work. Some women
just marry so they will have
meal ticket. I'm not the only one
who feels this way. I have talked
to lots of men and women and
they felt the same way." -
(A) I realize that it is hard for
a man to earn enough to support
a family and at the same time,
build up a nest egg for future
security. However, to be practi
cal, how can a woman go out to
well-drained canned cling peach
halves with honey and broil until
lightly tinged with brown and
heated through.
work when there are children to
be cared for?
When the children are old
enough to take care of them
selves and assist in the running
of the home, then a wife can go
out and get a job. However, un
less she has help from every
member of the family in running
the home she could easily crack
under the strain.
Expecting a woman with chil
dren young enough to need a
mother's care to go out and wqrk
la expecting too much. It Is fair
neither to the children nor to the
mother. Turning over the care of
the children to someone else is
hard on the children and makes
extra work for the mother as no
two people handle children in the
same way.
When a man marries, he should
do so with the anticipation of
shouldering the burden of sup
porting his wife and any children
they may have. Later, he can ex
pect tome help from his wife,
but certainly not while she is
needed in the home.
