 Take look at that bonus deal. Three dollars day for service in this country and four dollars for service overseas. That could add up to lots O dough. In fact, the VFW pedicts it would amount to between SIS 900 100000 and S2o,0oO, 100000!
 MT. Omar Ketchum, legislative di- rector of the VFW, went to Capitol Hill a couple of weeks ago to tell the House Veterans Committee about these things the VFW wants. He said that first on his list is na- tional security-that includes the strong airforce, atomic control in the hands of tht military and a few similar measures.
 He conceded the bonus question was highly controversial"

Food for Thought
by Mary T. Davenport, Nutritionist

by Mary T. Davenport, Nutritionist
Delaware State Board of Health
lone big meal a day is my pat
term, is a statement heard fire.
quently. A heavy dinner is be-
ieved to make up for having eaten
lightly at lunch and this light
lunch follows little or no break
fast. To date evidence is lacking
which will show if the plan of
three meals a day is ideal. Some
believe four or five are preferable
and there are individual cases that
bear out this theory. However,
we do have evidence that the food
intake should be divided in a near
ly equal manner for the three or
more meals. DR.. Kark in some
studies of fatigue among Army
men showed that the energy out
put was more nearly uniform and
there was less fatigue when the
calorie content of the days meals
was divided with some degree of
equality among the three meals.
We feel these results are worthy
of imitation by those of us who
are interested in minimizing
fatigue.
First, we recognize the difficulty
in adding to the volume of ones
breakfast. Early morning appel
ties are difficult to adjust. The
only formula we can give you, is
to convince yourself that you want
to eat more. In no way do we
mean force yourself-only con-
viction will do it. The first day of
success will amaze you. There's no
mid-morning fatigue. After that
it's easy-providing you do not fall
back into the former routine.
Then for lunch--you can eat
much more than the sandwich and
beverage and yet not get a slug
gish afternoon feeling. Lunches
may be high calorically without
including too many rich foods that
are slow to digest.
The idea is well worth trying
and its results may be the answer
to your hopes for more pep AMI
less fatigue.
