ITT MEDFORD (OHEOON MAIL TSIBUNB Potp "Somehow, it Keirj easier for thin food sense," says Dr. John Yudkin, professor of nutrition, Ijniversity of London. "It may be quite difficult to persuade j people to drink milk and eat vegetables and fruit, but much easier to persuade them to take yogurt, molasses, brewers' yeast and wheat-germ, or to eat their meat and their potato at separate meals." i Dr. Yudkin wrote thus in a book entitled "Man's Choice of Foods." He may be correct, but what we wonder sometimes is this: How are we to decide which ideas are sense and what is j nonsense? Great quantities of food material comes to our desk, much of it quotes from individuals, like Dr. Yudkin, who should i be authoritative, and a lot of it is contradictory. One day we receive a release from a nutritionist who says give children mo lasses in their milk, it will supply iron and necessary minerals; the next day we get one which reads "The benefits of blackstrap molasses have been overestimated." One day we read that only fresh oranges have the proper vitamin C, a day or two later we get a release from the citrus fruit industry itself quoting a number of nutritionists and dieti tioni to the effect that frozen orange juice has just as many vitamins as does the fresh, particularly if the latter has been exposed to the air for any length of time. We distinctly remember a Mpdford eye specialist once telling us to eat lots of raw carrots that they were just chuck-a-block with vitamin A; now we have a release on our desk which quotes n assistant professor of biochemistry, College of Medical Evange lists, Loma Linda, Calif., which says "The vitamin A in raw carrots is not so available as it is in cooked carrots." But Potpourri has the answer. We eat everything Everything but horseradish, that is. And caviar. We eat the seven basic foods, (which the authorities are reducing to four now) and then (we add whatever else comes our way, slapping ourself on the wrist from time to time for eating too many sweets. However, it seems to be generally agreed by many food authorities that the people in this country eat the wrong kinds of food, and that most of us eat too much for really top notch health. Last week a story which came to The Tribune, quoted Cornell university researchers as saying that homemakers don't really know the rudiments of good nutrition. Only a fifth to a third of the homemakers polled planned their meals on the basis of some real knowledge of nutrition, the release said. Only a third of the women could give an adequate reason relating to nutrition for their selection of any group of foods. It was found that many had erroneous ideas about food and nutrition. Only a fourth attached a valid meaning to the phrase "bal anced diet." It was found that the greatest need for more nutrition al knowledge by homemakers is in regard to ascorbic-acid-rich and vitamin-A-rich fruits and vegetables, and in regard to milk, 'bread and cereals and butter or margarine. The same release announced that two U.S. Department of Agriculture experts, Louise Page and Esther F. Phipard, have written a pamphlet entitled "Essentials of an Adequate Diet." (Agricultural Research Service Report No. 62-4.) It explains the importance of the various food groups and the authors advocate that everyone drink some milk daily, eat two or more servings of meat or allied food daily; four or more servings of the vegetable-fruit group daily, including a dark-green or deep-yellow vegetable important for vitamin A (here're those carrots again) at least every other day and a citrus fruit or other fruit or vege tables important for vitamin C daily; and four or more servings of whole grain, enriched or restored bread or cereals daily. And please, you who disagree with this "enriched and re stored" business, write to the Department of Agriculture don't write to m. We're on your side already. We hit the jackpot on letters last week. Both of the young married! wrote in one week. The soldier said he found discipline lesa rigid at Fort Jay, on Governor's island, than at Fort Ord, and was pleased to find that the First Army band, to which he is assigned, plays mostly concert music. Writing about the subways he said, "In the morning you find the working man and the Wall street man side by side, keep ing their eyes fixed in space with their faces set in an attitude of habitual boredom. In the evening all are reading something. Tha tabloids are the favorite since, being smaller than the con ventional paper, they are easier to read and handle in the crowds." Now, having moved to Brooklyn, the two take the ferry each day to Fort Jay, and according to the soldier, it is one of the interesting parta of the day. "I was interested to note that the atatue is not the tall graceful object I had pictured. Viewed from a distance, the lady is short, stubby and decidedly and definitely jreen. Although she is the symbol of liberty in America, I did not find her as thrilling as I had anticipated." He enjoys the evening ferry trip because, "you have the Winnie's STYLE SALON 528 EAST MAIN STREET ...,. ,.,.,,, . ., . ., Jg Proud ' f. To ' js Welcome... : . M' Christine f; ; Hose V .

The sky is just becoming darkened with the forthcoming night and the lights of the many famous buildings are winking on, one by one. All of the buildings are outlined by the lighter sky and the daytime, dirty city of New York becomes the magic city of lights and glamour." The two of them have decided that Brooklyn isn't so bad after all. They discovered that it wasn't filled with "thieves, bums arM hoods, and cops with Irish accents." They do find the Brook lyn accent difficult, and have decided, like a lot of other new comers to New York, that many of the residents are provincial. Many live and die in one borough, it seems, without ever getting more than a few blocks from home and "they consider anyone from Pennsylvania a westerner. Imagine what they think of us!" For some reason or the other everyone laughs when we tell them this. We're going to San Francisco to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the canned peach. (By the time this is in print we will have gone and the celebration will have ended). But looking back on the enjoyment we've had from peaches, canned and fresh, it doesn't seem so amusing to celebrate such an anniversary. Potpourri's canned peach eating dates back to the days when the family lived , in Pacific county, Washington. We all loved canned peaches, so each September mother ordered boxes and boxes, and canned peaches for days on end. A hundred qjiarts or more. And by spring they would be all gone.. Eaten with freshly baked bread slathered with butter and apple butter, or with mother's white cocoanut cake, they were wonderful. Any woman knows that many small things go wrong when you're trying to pack in a hurry. There's always an unexpected run in the hose, or the hem that needs fixing, or the broken strap. But did you ever take an evening gown from its paper sack, fresh from the cleaners, and find the straps sewed on with the hanger b9r inside? O.S. Day of Prayer Plans Told Board members of the Medford Council of Church Women met in the fireplace room of the Pres byterian church on Monday aft ernoon, January 7, for a busi ness session and to plan for World Day of Prayer which will be held the afternoon of March 8, in the First Church of the Nazarene.
