Aid Famine Drive
And Grow Slim
Director Advises

Cutting down on foods contain
ing wheat and fats, in cooperation
with the famine emergency drive,
is not only perfectly safe for most
adults, but an excellent chance to
get rid Of your "spare tire" If you
happen to have acquired one, DR..
Arthur L. Ringle, State Director
of Health said yesterday.
"Most adults, by cutting down
on bread, pastries, hotcakes, wheat
cereals and other similar foods,
will not only be doing good turn
to citizens of starvation countries
they will also be doing them
selves favor" DR.. Ringle said.
Most of us eat too many of these
starchy foods for our nutritional
requirements. Extra flesh around
the waistline is the best proof of
this" rs rs - 49,
DR.. Ringle urged that rigid re-
ducing diets, as opposed to a gen.
eral reduction of foods high in
starches and fats, be prescribed
only by the family physician.
Children and teen-agers should
substitute other foods for these
eliminated by the conservation
program, since their growing bod
les have great nutritional needs.
In addition to home conserva-
ton measures, DR.. Ringle urged
that money donations be made to
the local Office of the Famine
Emergency Collection Committee
or to churches participating in the
United Church Relief Drive. These
organizations are able to buy can
ned goods by the case, and ship
them to famine areas most eco
