The cry goes up in this country from dietitians, doctors, home economists and
teachers too many people in this land of abundant food are poorly nourished
because they don't eat a good breakfast. The first meal of the day is especially
important for children and active workers, the experts say. In the home of Dr.
and Mrs. Richard Frederick, 712 Whitman place, breakfast is a hearty meal, tfruce,
6, drinks lots of milk and little brother, Matthew, 2, goes for eggs, especially
when sister Shauna, 8, gives him an assist with the slippery bites. Jan, a grown
up 10 years, is having toast and peaches. Their mother (at right) says she plans
her menus a week at a time, shops in quantities and tries to provide "lots of
pood, sensible food without too many sweets." The Fredericks have 23 quarts
of milk delivered weekly, and often buy more. The four children all have hearty
appetites and "love to eat."

Not recommended for children, but a drink which
most Americans insist upon for breakfast is aromatic,
hot coffee. Nutritionists urge adults to also eat enough
protein meat, eggs or grain foods, to provide a good
share of the day's needed calories.

Mrs. C. W. Anhorn, a graduate of Oregon State university in home economics,
has spent a lot of lime in the last 20 years cooking big breakfasts. Her husband,
four sons and daughter all enjoy the first meal of the day and Mrs. Anhorn
serves various combinations of eggs, hot bread, pancakes or toast, bacon or other
meat, potatoes, fruit and juices. Pictured during a typical family breakfast are
(left to right) Mike, Bill, Jeff, Mrs. Anhorn, Mr. Anhorn, Catherine and James.

The active Anhorns consume more than 10 gallons of milk a week when
seven are at home. Bill (above) will return to OSU this fall as a junior in engi
neering and Jeff, who was valedictorian of Crater High school's 1962 class, will
enter OSU as a freshman this fall. These two and Mike, who will be a junior at
Cra'pr, are all ball players. James will be an eighth. grader at Central Point
Junior High school this year.
Catherine Anhorn helps with the cooking and is learning first-hand from her
mother how to buy and prepare food which provides all the essential nutrients
for growth and body-building. Many nutrition experts declare that the average
American diet is deficient in protein and calcium girls and young women often
mistakenly skimp on some foods because they fear becoming overweight.
Mrs, Anhorn, whose hungry family devours a pan of cinnamon rolls in a twink
ling, has found from her teaching experience that many school children come
to classes without an adequate breakfast. The yearbook of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture reports that "breakfast commonly Is the day's poorest meal" and
warns that children who skip breakfast are less well fed than those who eat
breakfast they don't "make it up" In other meals.
