Balanced Breakfasts

very difficult task il few simp,s
principles are followed, but the
fewer the meals, the greater the
danger that the food eaten will
fall short of furnishing the needed
proteins, vitamins and minerals.
Many people say that they lust
do not feel hungry at breakfast
time. But In most instances, this
is because they arise too late for
breakfast and must hurry off to
work or to keep some appointment.
Very few persons skip break
fast if they go to bed early enough.
arise in the morning at such q time
as to give them n sufficient inter-
val to dress, read the newspaper,
and perhaps do a little work in the
garden before starting the days
activities.
1t is not astonishing that people
who have eaten a heavy meal the
night before and must be awaken
ed in the morning have little desire
to eat breakfast.
Six Foods
Breakfast can be planned from
six food items, fruit, cereal, egg,
toast with fortified margarine or
butter, jam and a beverage which
means milk for children.
In many ways, your body is like
the engine Of your car. 1t takes
fuel in the form of food and trans
mutes it into energy, the energy
which you use to accomplish your
days work. 1t is just as reasonable
to expect your car to start on an
empty tank as to suppose that
your body can furnish energy for
the mornings activities without
proper food.
A good breakfast can work Won
ders in the way you feel. Try it and
see how much it adds to your con-
tentment and the ease with which
you perform your forenoon tasks.

Method Of Helping

Inc Community Chest is merely
way in which citizens in the ap-
!ercgatc pool their benefactions for
the aid of that fraction of the people
who need assistance and are I'M
able 10 help themselves. II is orea-
n'Zed support Of enterprises in which
all like TO have a part. and wherein
best results can be obtained by CO.
operative cndeavor.
Wherever the plan has been fried
Il has worked moro satisfactorily
than any other. and that is why the
idea has become so popular and so
widespread in practice. One of the
purposes is TO avoid repeated So
hcitations for the various activities
that are supported by public
generosity.
And so this week and next Hen
derson and Vance county people are
uniting in the effort to provide sup-
port Tor half dozen agencies that
contribute TO the general welfare
and upbuilding of society hereabouts.
II would be virtually impossible to
assemble together number of I'M
dertakings which would all meet
approval and command the sup
port OF every one. But there. is n
great deal OF good in all of those
which have been admitted to the
Vance County Community Chest
There will be few who cannot find
pnuch to favor in two or more Of

WHAT kind of breakfast should
you have? Big breakfast, little
breakfast or none ut all? This is
not question to be decided by
an eeny-meeny-miny-mo. Nor is
the answer to be found in personal
preference.
There are definite considerations
of health which show that every
body needs real and substantial
meal on which to start the day.
Those who have studied the
problem think that the breakfast
should make up about one-fourth
of the total food needs for the day.
That means one-fourth of the cal
cries or heat value, one-fourth of
the protein, which is the material
necessary for building new tissues
and repairing WORKOUT ones, and
one-fourth of the vitamins and
minerals.
Omitting Breakfast
Some people get into the habit
Of emitting breakfast in an eff
fort to lose weight but that is the
wrong way Of reducing weight.
Their energy would be held up on
a more even keel if they divided
the food they eat among three
meals day rather than two.
If breakfast is skipped, the nee
essary food will have to be eaten
at the other two meals in order to
maintain health and well-being.
Many persons who skip breakfast
make the problem worse by grab
bling a bite of whatever is handy
for lunch and then making the
evening meal supply practically
all of the nutriments needed.

Divinations were an important
part of the Christmas festivities in
Czarist Russia.
After a special family Christmas
dinner, the girls of the household
placed 6ve piles of grain upon the
kitchen floor: each pile was given a
name, such as Hope, Ring, Money,
Thread and Charcoal, A drowsy hen
was fetched from the henhouse and
allowed to walk around the kitchen
floor and choose pile of grain.
Obviously the hens choice Of
Money meant wealth: Ring. foretold
a wedding within year: and Hope,
promised the fulfllment of a wish
or a long journey. Il the sleepy
chicken chose the grain designated
as Thread, a life Of toll was pre-
dicted for the marriageable maiden
Of the household; and Charcoal was
considered an omen of death in the
family.
Old songs were sung to accom-
pany such goings-on, while the girls

Greatest Stamps
OF Entire World

Oficials estimate at least 100000
lives are saved each year-in Amer
lea alone by funds made available
by the annual Christmas Seal cam
paign against tuberculosis.
In 1858, Danish postal clerk
Einar Holboell, by name-conceived
the idea Of a voluntary tax on
Christmas greeting cards which
would benefit the underprivileged.
Specifically, Holboell visualized es-
tablishment Of fund to build a hos
pital for tubercular children. The
ministry granted Holboell permis-
sion to sell his seals at post Offices
and the Christmas Seal campaign
was launched. In many countries,
the, seal campaign is conducted
largely in cooperation with postal
authorities and, in some instances,
the seals are parts Of special post
age stamps.
