RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De
ponds on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

A ten minute technicolor sound
film on nutrition Proof of the
Pudding will be shown soon in
motion picture theatres throughout
Delaware. This film, produced
jointly by the U. S. Public Health
Service and the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, should be very
popular due to the increasing state
and national interest in improved
nutrition.
According to advance publicity
the picture begins with a scene in
zoo kitchen The narrator dis
cusses the care with which animals
are fed and draws contrast be-
tween this and the thoughtless way
in which many people feed them
selves. Scenes in a nutrition lab
oratory emphasize the fact that
our knowledge of the food needs of
human beings is based on scientific
research. BY means of an Animal
ed chart the foods needed for en-
ergy, building and repair, main
tanning body processes and protec-
ton against disease are shown.
These foods form the structure
that supports good health. When
any one of them is withheld or
used in too small an amount the
structure begins to crash and
crumble
Animals are used again to show
specific food deficiencies. The Jones
family is then introduced and their
good physical condition is obvious
The points which indicate good nu-
triton are emphasized by means of
a physical examination in a doc
tors office Full credit for the
buoyant health of the children is
given to the mother who gave them
running start in life by following
the rules of good nutrition before
they were born and who has con-
tinued to give the family the right
kind of food.
Those who have seen the film
have been pleased at the interest
ing, accurate and informative way
the subject is presented. Technical
production services were handled
by paramount Pictures Incorporat-
ed.

may expect to see motion pictures.

The issues that brought about

;nnortant as is another and more
s.r;ous fact. 1t is that our gov
eminent and most of our people
still do not realize that if we are
i supply the food necessary for
me defense of the democracieS, we
nave a job of tooling up for agri-
cultural defense. This is essential
inst as il is for our industries to
mist the cooperation of their tool
noms and tool suppliers before
mey are in position to swing into
production.
Since the foods we need are of
anature best produced on the So
called family farm, it naturally
becomes important that tools
adaptable to general farming be
made available as quickly as pos
sible and in the greatest possible
Quantities. This cannot be ac-
complished unless everyone is
acutely aware of the fact that
PRACTICAL plans must be made for
our agricultural defense effort.
lust as plans have been made for
our industrial defense effort. To-
DAY, agricultural defense stands
without plans and without an eff
fective organization to carry out
the program that will be necessary
to feed the democracies in this
great crisis we are facing.
Few people are conscious of the
fact that the real scarcity of pro-
duction tools and materials has
