Food for Thought

Mary T. Davenport, Nutrition
Consultant, State Board of Health
We've all heard of the mother
who pinned to her daughters dress
a tag which read, "Please don't
feed me-" This action was the re-
suit of the child's admirers giving
her too much food, particularly
sweets. The between meal food
gave the child entirely too much
sugar and reduced her appetite for
the next meal at home.
This column has defended sugar
previously. We have condemned the
excessive use of it. We believe that
children should enjoy the big birth
day cakes and ice cream occasion
ally. We think that if beautiful
party with its accompanying ap-
petites and satisfying food causes
the next meal to be missed, that
food habits won't be broken and no
ill effects will be seen.
Don't Feed Our Children" is
written to the people who constant
ly feed youngsters. This is to the
various groups, which provides
those very profitable after school
and Saturday morning activities.
Smyrna times., 1950-05-18

Chilren in elementary grades Of
ten participate daily in some after
school activity. Saturday morning
is a good time to get children to-
gether, also. (Mothers often ap-
preciate their Saturday morning
absence, tooD Too often each
group feels it must celebrate the
current holiday with party, which
included food. The completion of
unit in the groups program calls
for food. AS the result, these very
active youngsters seem to live on
party desserts. The following meal
at home is ignored.
Usually a child is hungry after
school. At home she is given fruit
or fruit juice or milk with q cookie
or semi-sweet crackers. We sug-
gest that the adult leaders of these
children's groups exercise the re-
straint in feeding, that they would
want shown, were they their child
rem being fed by someone else.
Children will be appreciative Of
semi-sweet beverages and fancy
crackers or cookies in a limited
number. Then parents will feel no
need of pinning the sign, Don't
Feed Our Children, on the child
or the party planner.

GOOD PUBLICITY

In a letter to the presidents of

fore many people throughout the

group recommended, in the mean
time, more entertainments in their
homes and churches, bus service
for school socials and the organi-
cation of local social clubs. They
also asked that adults in the COM
munities provide opportunities for
teen-agers to earn money for rec
reation.
Giving the child adequate know
ledge of social hygiene, the stu
dents decided, is basically the duty
of the parents. The parents
teaching, however, should be
supplemented by the teachers at
school. 1t was pointed out that
sex education should not be Of

Student Panel Discussion

Problems of the High School Stu
dents was the topic discussed by Il
student forum at the February
meeting of the Lincoln PIT. A.
Moderator for the group, which
was composed of representatives
from each of the high school
classes, was DR., Fern Schneider,
High School Supervisor. The
pupils, in presenting their prob
lens to the parent-teacher group,
helped establish better understand
ing between parents and children
as well as solicited adult aid in
solutions to some of their problems.
The students felt that their
greatest problem is limited oppor-
tunities and facilities in their
various communities for boys and
girls to lead normal social lives.
This inadequacy, they said, was
caused by lack of approved rec
reational centers, transportation
and financial problems in seeking
distant entertainment centers, and
unsatisfactory parental attitudes
toward the children's social lives.
Also cited as a teen-age problem
was the failure of the home and
school to give the young people ade-
quate knowledge of social hygiene.
The forum stated that some Of
the recreational needs could be met
by the provision of recreational
facilities in their various communi-
ties. 1t was suggested that ele-
mentary school buildings, to be va
Gated when consolidated schools are
completed. be converted into social
centers for young people. The
