VIII be Offered Here

A new Health For Victory" meal
planning course consisting of six
wartime food demonstrations will
be launched here beginning March
under the sponsorship Of the
Tide Water Power company, it
was announced this week by Miss
Cordelia Foster. home service d.
rector of the Tide Water.
Homemakers will meet monthly
at the home service kitchen under
the leadership of Miss Foster.
Organized in February, 1912, by
the Westinghouse Home Econom-
les Institute at Mansfield, Ohio,
the Health foc Victory program
has been adopted by more than
l,7OO war plants and civic organi-
cations and reached more than
half a million housewives.
Due to changing food conditions
and the need for the entire Health

reach the largest number of home
makers in the shortest possible
time, the program has been
streamlined. All information is
based on detectives of the Nation
al Nutrition program and only
those essentials considered neces-
sary in coping with the wartime
food problems are retained. The
six lessons cover all basic needs.
The first meeting-titled Build
ing for Health stresses the i'm
portance of eating all of the rec
commended "Basic Seven" foods
every day. Explanations are given
to show what each food group
means in the terms health, and
how to make the best use of avail
able foods in planning meals to
provide these necessary food ele-
ments.
