DEFENSE PLAN
REQUIRES FOOD
FOR FITNESS

Speaking of the Importance OF
feeding for fitness" as a part of the
defense program, DR.. R. HI. Riley, Di-
rector of the State Department of
Health said 1--WE are slowly waking
up to the fact that the intelligent
selection and use Of the kinds of food
necessary to maintain health and to
keep our physical machinery in the
best possible condition, are of more
importance to each of us, than merely
eating food that is chosen without
regard to it's nutritive qualities.
"In a comparative study made
some time ago of the health of school
children in two widely separated dis
tricts-one in an agricultural COM
nunity and the other in an industrial
one-a large percentage of the chill
dren from the farming sections were
found to show marked signs of NAL
nutrition, while those from the indus
trial area were in much better shape
physically.
although milk, other dairy pro-
ducts, fruits and fresh vegetables
all of which are essential for a well
balanced diet-were readily available
in the farming sections, the children
had been allowed to indulge their
preference for less familiar and less
nourishing foods, with the result al
ready mentioned.
Certain factors that affect nutri-
tion-and not all of them apply to
fo0d-must be given due considera-
ton in feeding for fitness. A six
point program as outlined by the
Nutritionist of the State Department
Of Health stresses the following:
"First, the diet must be adequate.
That is it must include a generous
supply of the protective foods milk,
fruit, vegetables, eggs, whole grain
breads and cereals.
Second, enough sleep and rest are
without them true fitness
ID impossible.
"Third, there must be freedom
from physical defects, such as decay
cd teeth or diseased tonils, to insure
the best utilization of food.
Fourth, correct elimination is es-
sential in the utilization of food.
Fifth, exercise and fresh air are
necessary to help to stimulate the ap-
petite.
"Sixth, good posture is included
because it gives the digestive organs
room to function we'll"

to the effect that they are. much bet

rowing as small an amount as possible
and being able to repay it with some
income left over for the use of their
families. 1t has been the experience
in highly specialized truck crops Sec
tions that too much credit has been
equally or more disastrous than too
little. This type of loan has proven
to be a particularly serviceable and
satisfactory one for the small farm
ers on the Eastern Shore.
The headquarters of Mr.. Mock,
Field Supervisor for Somerset and
Worcester Counties is located in the
Princess Theater Building, Princess
Anne, Maryland. Mr.. Mock accepts
applications at his headquarters in
Princess Anne on Tuesdays, Thurs

ONTARIO CLUB
WILL TRAIN AT
THE LOCAL PARK
Fred Herring, Business Manager
Of The London Bunch, To
Choose This Southern City

The following item was clipped
from a London, Ontario, paper anc
should be of interest to the lovers Of
base ball in this vicinity:
London Pirates of the Pony
Baseball League will train this
spring at Pocomoke City, Mary
land, it has been announced by
Fred Herring, newly-appointed
business manager of the club.
Pocomoke City is Hering's home
town.
In selecting Pocomoke City the
club is taking a spot farther
south than their last years train
ing site at McKeesport, Pa. Bad
weather spoiled last seasons
training but in taking another
spot the club hopes to get in a
steady three weeks of work be-
fore the opening of the season.
Pocomoke City is in the East
ern Shore garden spot and has
the reputation of being one of
the busiest little cities in the Uni
= ted States. 1t is from Pocomoke
City that most of the early
greens and vegetables are pro-
duced and strawberry picking
usually gets under way there a
bout May 1. 1t is because of
these conditions that Pocomoke
City makes an ideal training
site. Pocomoke City is in class
ed" baseball, like London, their
team operating in the Eastern
Shore League.
Since the above came to hand, tn
press has contained some sporting
news which seems to throw a doub
upon Pocomoke's having team thi
year. Dover is another point wher
the attendance proved unsatisfactory
and is also an uncertain location.
Perhaps it would be a good ide'
for those who are in charge of base
balls future in this city, to try wha
a fair team might bring in the wa,

of second division quality, and tire

CROP and FEED
LOAN OFFICES in
MEET AT BALTIC.

Mr.. w. B. Mock, Field Supervisor
of the Emergency Crop and Feed
Loan Offices of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration, Baltimore, recently re-
turned from a Baltimore meeting held
in connection with the 1941 loan pro-
gram.
The purpose of the loan is to fur
nish cash to farmers for the purchase
of seed, fertilizer and other supplies
necessary or incident to the produc-
ton of crops for market. It is de-
signed for the group of growers who
do not have collateral available to
borrow from local banks or produc-
ton credit associations and who, at
the same time, are not in need of re-
Mobilization and detailed supervision
Mr.. Mock states that during the
past 10 years 5361 loans have been
made on the Eastern Shore of Mary
land, and that considering the fact
that the only type of security taken
is a crop lien, the repayment record
has been very satisfactory in most
of the counties. In the highly inten-
sive truck counties, farmers have suf-
fered from price failures on some
commodities for number of years
with results that many farmers have
had to contend with extremely diff
cult problems. Mr.. Mock further
states that there has been a careful
wedding out of that type of borrower
who does not keep faith and is not a
good character risk since this type OF
loan must be largely character loan
He has noted an improvement in cred
it morale. The farmers understand
that these loans are definitely to be
repaid.
1t is the policy and program of the
Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Of
flee to cooperate very closely with the
county agents and the Extension Ser
vice as well as with the Soil Conser-
walton Service in an endeavor to en-
courage farmers to adopt those farm
ing and soil practices which affords
them a more diversified income as
well as encourage 'Live At Home
Program"
The amount loaned to any one in
dividual farmer is limited to $780,
90. This loan has proved very SER
viceable since it enables the farmers
to make substantial savings on their
seed and fertilizer bills by being able
to pay cash. The rate of interest is
A percent and no inspection or service
fees are charged. While many farm
ers find that the $4OO limit necessi-
tates some curtailment in their acre
age of truck crops, nevertheless most
of them have expressed themselves
