Nutrition Study Shows
Seniors Eat Wrong Foods
By CLAIRE COX
United Press International
New York 0JPD The aver
age senior citizen tends to eat
less of the right foods and
weigh more than he should, a
nutritional study shows.
The study also found that
although old people did not
eat as they should, they ac
knowledged that other seg
ments of the population were
doing better, nutritionally,
than a generation ago.
These conclusions were
reached at The Age Center of
New England, in Boston, in a
study financed with grants
from the U. S. Public Health
Service and the National Vita
min Foundation.
A report on the findings,
written by Dr. Charles S. Da
vidson, Dr. Seymour Kauf
man, Patricia Anderson and
Jane Livermore, a nurse, was
published in the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Dr. Rcbert S. Goodhart. sci
entific director of the Vita
min Foundation, commenting
on the report, said that age
should be no excuse for inat
tention to proper nutrition.
Too Few Proteins
"A large proportion of the
elderly have much too low a
daily intake of protein, vita
mins and minerals, particular
ly those who are socially iso
lated," he said.
Goodhart said that old per
sons who eat alone generally
do not do as well nutritional
ly as those who have someone
with whom to sit down at the
table.
The study showec' that the
more isolated old persons ate
a far smaller variety of foods
than those who tended to be
gregarious, but the lonely
ones still were heavier than
those who shared meals with
others.
Among those who usually
ate alone, the daily intake of
all nutrients except iron was
less than in the other group
Many were short on intake of
vitamins A and C, riboflavin,
niacin and calcium.
Not i uddiiii
Food fads held little inter
est for the old people in gen
eral. Only seven of the 130
persons studied went in for
fad foods bought in health
food stores.
As far as calories were con
cerned, the study found that
the old persons generally con
sumed the desired amounts.
"The daily intake of pro
tein and of vitamins and min
erals, although highly vari
able, was surprisingly low in
some instances," the report
said.
and Mrs. Lewis Thompson, deputy great Pocahontas for
Weatonka council. Mrt. Elsel't official visit coincided with
a district session of the northern California and southern
Oregon lodges held Saturday, June 9. Pocahontas lodge
is the women's order affiliated with the Improved Order
of Red Men.
". . . when vitamin intake
was calculated from food
alone (omitting that from
multivitamin and similar sun-
plements), a large proportion
of the members were found to
have relatively low daily in
takes . . . however, many
members were taking vitamin
supplements."
Most of the persons studied
ate the usual three meals a
day, although more than a
third ate more frequently.
More than half ate alone or
most frequently alone and
most did their own shopping,
mainly at supermarkets, and
carried their groceries home.
Facilities for preparing food
were generally adequate but
a few had no refrigerator to
use.
"Annetites were eenerally
said to be good or excellent,"
the report said, "although
more thought of eating as a
necessary activity than a
pleasure."

Alterations Can
Give Worn-Out
Town Prosperity
University Park, Pa. - IUPD -Alterations
on a relatively
modest scale can give a worn
out town beauty, character,
spirit, and even prosperity.
So says Dr. Milton S. Os
borne, head of the Pennsyl
vania State university depart
ment of architecture.
It takes no magic wand, said
Dr. Osborne - a dab of paint
nere, a sprig of greenery
there and, perhaps, a discreet
building adjustment.
The Penn State veteran of
years of rejuvenating com
munities cited Hollidaysburg
Pa., as an example of how
"beauty consultations" can
make a town more pleasant, if
not a glittering gem of urban
glamour.
Merchants along Allegheny
street in the Blair county com'
munity, lacking parking space
and hamstrung by deterior
ating buildings, were losing
business to nearby shopping
centers.
They asked Osborne for ad
vice. He asked for pictures of
each building in the area and
then, as is his custom, made
free-hand sketches of how
each could be made to look.
He explained that a grill-
work of mullions inside a
plate glass window gives a
more picturesque character
and a more intimate scale to
massive gleaming front.
Flowers boxes and trees can
do wonders, he added.
Overhead signs were taken
down and "suddenly the street
seemed twice as wide." The
fixup spirit spread to home
owners along the side street
of the community.
The whole community was
interested," Dr. Osborne said.
"They felt like it belonged to
them. And people did come
back to Allegheny street to do
their shopping."
The community beauty con
sultant always works through
sketches with the help of his
wife, who is also an artist, -

Reading last night about the trouble airline companies .
are having with the flight engineers brought to mind a
column published not long Bgo in the New York Times. The j
writer, Brooks Atkinson, started out by asking "Doesn't
anyone ever have a joyful experience with the airlines?"
and continued by saying that he had been forced to take
a train not long ago when an airline had "abandoned" him
in the Atlanta airport, and had been comfortably and ef
ficiently rescued by the train.
. He pointed out that the discontented airline travelers
are legion. Frank E. Shaffer of The Charleston Gazette, it
seems, asks his friends "are you going first class or are
you flying?" when he hears that they contemplate travel.
A certain Jim Marshall of New York has a printed card
that he presents to airline clerks. "What is it this time?" ,
the card wants to know. It Is signed by "The Wheals Club''
which is described as a group of citizens united in a com
mon cause "We Hate Eastern Air Lines."
Last summer Potpourri had a long conservation with a
Washington state business man who travels a lot by air, both
in the United States and in Europe he has his Million Mile
card and has served on the advisory board of one of the
major lines. He related a long list of grievances against air
lines in general, but said some of the practices put into
use by the companies such as making passengers confirm
and re-confirm reservations and then confronting them with
last-minute cancellations and changes, had been the result
of the abuses of the passengers themselves. He sighed and
said the whole mess seemed a vicious circle and admitted
that he had been forced into the practice of making double
reservations for flights on which he believed he absolutely
must have space. He makes the second reservation in the
name of his wife, secretary or one of his employees, and
then makes a last-minute cancellation of the second one.
He knows this is bad, but believes he is justified because
so many times he had been assured of reservations and then :
found there were none when he checked in at the airport.
Later in our vacation we attempted to make reservations
from Centralia for a Sunday flight from Portland to Med- j
ford. On Tuesday we were informed that none were avail
able, but that we would be put on the wailing list. Saturday :
morning the agent called and said there had been a cancel- j
lation, and the reservation was ours. When we boarded the
plane in Portland Sunday there were exactly eight pas
sengers on a plane which had seating space for about 20
persons.
Standing in line in the Portland airport we witnessed an
ncldent which, if typical of the traveling public, must result
in grey hair for airline employees. A worried woman and
her son, about 10, stood in the line next ours. When she
reached the attendant, she told

The large bag was the fortnighter" type which she could
scarcely lift, let alone lug it into the passenger section of
a plane and stow it anywhere. j
At length she was convinced that she must check the
large piece of luggage, and then could not find her tickets.
She decided they must be inside the bag and then searched '
her handbag for the luggage keys. This took quite some '
time. When they were found, she could not make any one
fit the lock. At length the boy, who seemed strangely calm
with such a nervous mother, took the keys, found the right
one, opened the big bag, rummaged around and produced
the tickets.
All this went on while
more restless and impatient
kept warning the woman that she was in danger of missing
her. flight. The woman and boy at length ran for the ramp
and disappeared from sight.

in the line paid and in the meantime a man standing im
mediately behind our relative said "Don't pay; they can't
make you." So when it came her turn she said in a loud,
firm voice that this was against airline regulations. The at
tendant sighed, processed her ticket and let her proceed on
the flight, without the extra money. Ditto the well-informed
man traveler. '
