Army Air Force officers believe

War correspondents covering

Many Eating Correctly

About fifty per cent Of the pa
tients were already eating prop
erly. To all intents nd purposes.
allowing for human nature and
life in general, and likes and dis
likes and restrictions imposed by
the pocket book, they were eating
an almost ideal diet. This is a
pretty good record.
OF course there is no such thing
rs an ideal diet, the ietary yard
stick of the Food and Nutrition
Board of the National Research
Council to the contrary notwith-
standing. Man is an adaptable ami
NAL. lie can survive on quite a
variety of diets and remain
healthy, the comparative examples
of the Eskimo and the South Sea
Islander and the Chinese being
cases in evidence. 1t would be a
pretty gosh awful world if every
body ate exactly the same right
mathematical thing three times q
day all over the world. The fact
that about so ner cent of these peo-
pie ate about the right food is an
indication Of my contention that
the reports that 95 million Ameri-
cans are not eating properly are
grossly exaggerated.
After consu, alton about i'm
provements in their diet, all but
eight of the subjects turned in re-
ports which indicated that they
were getting closer to an ideal
diet.
Items in Diets
cannot take up the items on
the list, but will mention a few.
About 40 p~r cent Of the subjects
were not getting enough protein
per day, as shown in the low con-
sumption Of meat, eggs and milk.
In calculating my own diet about
a year ago l was surprised to find
that | was just gettir : about, or
little less than, the right amount Of
protein-surprised because | con-
sidered myself a pretty good meat
and egg eater. Meat is one Of the
emotional" foods. People avoid
meat because they have been told
it is bad for the kidneys, or some
other myth. The reasons given for
not eating it by some of the low
protein users we're that it is hard
to digest, or that it is constipat-
ing, or fattening.
Interesting that very few were
taking an excess Of calories per
day-only two out Of SO. One
would have thought that with all
the hullabaloo about reducing diets
in this country half of US were eat
ing too much. Nearly 80 per cent
of the subjects in fact were eating
too little-they had q caloric de-
ficiency.
About 20 per cent ate between
meals, and about 80 per cent had
an unequal distribution Of Galleries
among the meals. Tut | can't say l
think either of those are very ter
rible crimes

RED CROSS AIDS
SERVICEMEN HERE

The Wilmington h apter OF
American Red Cross, which aims
to raise $4,000 in the 1914 War
Fund drive that starts here Mon.
day, has been active in all Red
Cross practices since Pearl Har-
Dor.
A compilation of activities by
some divisions of the local chapter
shows that 3,018 service men OF
their families were aided during
1943 through the Home Service
department; 4,367 First Aid certi.
ficates have been issued since
Pearl Harbor; the Gray Lady
Corps served 1854 hours during
the period, Sept. S, 1913 to Jan.
81, 1914; 81 Motor Corps volunteers
served 4,153 hours; 40 Staff AS
sistant Corps volunteers served o.
248 hours; and five Administra-
tive Corps volunteers served 1922
hours in 1913.
Reports from otner departments
were not Immediately available,
but activities have been no less
for that reason. Since Pearl Har-
Dor, the Production unit has pre-
pared many thousands of surgical
dressings, knitted and sewed gar
ments for Army, Navy and war
refugees. Nurses Aides have SER
we'd in understaffed hospitals. Nu-
triton and home nursing classes
have been taught. The Canteen
Corps has served many service
men in the city.
An appeal to Wilmingtonians to
support the Red Cross will be
made by the Rev. Sankey Lee
Blanton in a radio address
Monday over station WMFD.
j. @. LeGrand, general chairman
of the 1914 War Fund campaign,
