At our last meeting, our degree
master, John LeCompte, announced
that he was ready and willing to
start rehearsing our degree work,
but wants the cooperation of every
member OF the team. II is very dis
cOuraging to him to have to contact
every member to see If he will be
at a rehearsal or initiation. Every
member of the team should be inter-
ested enough to be present. It would
relieve the degree master of a lot
of worry and save him time that he
spends trying to find substitutes. So
let's all be at the next meeting and
see IL we can get started.

Our present Odd Fellow lodge
rooms have been in the same loca-
tion for a number of years. We are
wondering how much longer we can
hold our meetings there and do our
degree work with safety? The build
ing Is very much in need of repair
and should have a fire escape. Why
doesn't our building committee get
busy and DO something? Let's bring
this long debated question to head.
and either have the building put in
first class order or else build new
temple where we can hold all of our
affairs. such as card parties. dances,
banquets and etc, which we now
have to have elsewhere. Come to
our next meeting and let's talk It
over.
We were very glad to have with us
at our last meeting our two distin-
guished brothers. Paris C. Kirby and !
Clarence Jester.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Food You Eat Greatly
Affects Your Appearance
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER
Nutritionist for the State Board
of Health.

Boys and girls need to be taugh
how to make wise expenditure foI
food. The boys should be taught be
cause so much of their future income
must be spent for food; the girls. be
cause they will be the ones to buy
the food and on their selection de
pends to a great degree the healtl
and economy OF the family.
Even the wisest mother will have
= very difficult time TO plan break
fast and supper good enough to Off
set a poorly chosen lunch. The food
which child selects at lunch must
play its part in filling the days
needs. A well chosen lunch sucn as
one containing a hot dish, glass oil
milk, and a serving Of fruit can
really pull its own load i'm the re-
quirements for the day. Such a
lunch furnishes minerals, vitamins
and good quality protein along with
calOries. We get so much more for
Cur money in such lunch than in a
poorly chosen one such as a hot
dog and bar of candy.
Many parents seem to feel that su-
perviSion of the childs lunch at
school lies entirely with the school
staff. IL is true that some of our
schools do an excellent job in teach
ing children what are the best foods
to select. However, these efforts
are effective only with the coOpera-
ton and backing of the ones who are
really buying the food-the parents
whose money the children are spend
ing.
In order o~teach children to Sc
Iect a good lunch. it has been neces-
gary to set up some kind Of a stand
ard as to what good lunch should
contain.
Whole milk in some form should
be included in every child's lunch. l
emphasize whole milk because COM
mercial chocolate milk is often
made from milk with some of the
valuable cream removed. One-half
pint of whole white milk usually is
sold for one cent less than one-half
piut of partially skinned chocolate
milk so the whole milk is obviously
much the better. If your child pre-
fers to take foods made with milk
rather than to drink it as beverage,
at least two servings of foods made
with milk or cheese are necessary to
equal the food value of one-half pint
of whole milk.
One serving of fruit or vegetable
makes good contribution to any
child's lunch. The cheaper fruits as
apples i'm season may cost only two
cents or even one cent at the school
counter. Or, IL you are really watch
ing your food costs and il you have
fruit at home. an apple or other fruit
may easily be taken to school to add
to the lunch purchased there.
Along with milk and either fruit
or vegetable. child needs some sub
stantial food at noon. preferably hot
during the winter months. A bowl
Of soup with crackers. serving OF
macaroni and cheese. of creamed
chipped beef or salmon on toast, OF
creamed eggs or a vegetable plate
will do much to make the meal
eatisfying and filling one.
One of the principles OF our mod
ern progressive education is that we
learn by doing II this is true the
school cafeteria offers the earliest
and one of the best opportunities to
learn good food selection.
