U. SM Long Known As Best-Fed Nation
In World, May Lack Good Nutrition

By KAY LAW HE
AI* Correspondent
Wf've been knoun a long time
a." the best-fed nation in the world.
Hut the question now romes, how
well d<> we Americans rat? Then'
is a contention that we do not eat
w< II enough. With this in mind,
the National F*«>d (^nfervwe will
con\ene in Washington on Feb-
ruary 124. President Eisenhower
will open the conference which
Will bring together le.'.de.rs in
education, agriculture, labor, in-
dustry. nutrition and family liv-
ing. They will explore ways of
reaching the goal <ii good nutrition
for everyone.
According to a government study
'"J per cent of us do not ifet the
amount of calcium which the Na-
tional Research Council recom-
mends. Twenty five per cent <lo
not get enough vitamin Nine-
teen per cent are low on riboflavin
ami n' < on protein. .About J6'«
of u< don't git enough vitamin
"A", and !• '< are low on iron.
Oragnizar.s of the National
Food Conference say several groups
of food are needed by ail of us
every ilay ti We want nutritious
meals. Lt's review them.
M.Ik, ice cream an i cheese are
a great Source of calcium, while
meat, poultry, fish ami eggs are
the great sourre of protein and
iron. Milk and its products help
build good teeth and strong bones.

substances in the body's muscles

The Ijicasa Community' Club met
and quilted Thursday. Then Friday
night, they sponsored a "Forty-
two" party at the community ren-
ter. Approximately Hit attended.
A large crowd enjoyed the birth-
day il nner at the center. Sunday.
It also is important for vision,
especially at night.
Tops in vitamin "C" axe citrus
fruits, tomatoes and raw cabbage.
Apparently the average family does
not get enough of them. The gov-
ernment studies show one out of
tour diets are low- in this vitamin.
Potatoes, sweet and white, and
other vegetables and fruits make
up the third group needed for good
health. Sweet potatoes are very
rich in vitamin "A" while regular
potatoes provide iron, vitamin "C"
and vitamins in the "B" group.
Two other important food groups
round out the list of requirements
for nutritious meals. Natural,
whole grain and enriched bread and
flour products and cereals provide
iron, some protein and a number
of 'H" vitamins. These alio are
energy fixxls.
Finally everyone needs butter or
fortified margarine and other food
oils 'i*or good nutrition. These are
sources of vitamin "A" and also
supply calories needed for energy.
Do you eat fish on Friday be-
cau < you have to, or because you
know how good it can be. Let's
take swordfish. for an example.
Here is a simple recipe. It's equal-
ly go.nl with fresh swordfish or
with frozen swordfish steaks.
The swordfish steaks should be
in th:n slices. Marinate them for
at least one hour in a mixture (*C
chopped onion. Count on one small
onion for eai h pound of swordfish.
\dd about a fistful of minced pars-
ley. garlic and olive oil.
When you're ready to cook the
swordfish. place the pan. marinade,
fish and all. unde.r the broiler and j
cook slowly. The pan should be
•1 inches from the heat.
Whin the oven is good and hot,
turn the flame low. Broil the fish
until it's lightly browned on one
side, then turn it and brown lightly
on the other side.
Slow cooking is important. High
heat makes Vrsh tough but the olive j
oil keeps the fish moist. And what
it doe- to the flavor! Olive oil adds
so much flavor to fish you'll want
to serve fish this way often.

Divine Love s inexhaustible pow-
er and abundance will be brought
out Sunday at Christian Science
services.
Matthew's arcmnt (eh. 8) of
the healing by Christ Jesus of the
centurion's servant will be includ-
ed in the Bible passages to be read
in the Lesson-Sermon on "Love."
From "Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy will be read from the
following (494:10): "Divine Love
always has met and always will
meet every human need. It is not
well to imagine that Jesus demon-
strated the divine pjwer to heal
only for a select number or for
a limited period of time, since to
all mankind and in every hour,
divine Love supplies all good."
The Golden Text is from I John
(4:7): "Beloved, let us love >ne an
other: for love is of (iod; and
every one that loveth is born of
(iod. and knowth (iod."
The Christian Science Society
meets each Sunday at 4M S. Mc-
Amis. Sunday Scho >1 at 9:45 and
