at 1:3O p. m. The topic for the af-
ternoon was "Teenage Nutrition"
presented by Mrs. Crerar Bennett
and Mrs. Lance Lynch.
Results of studies show the older
the child. the poorer the diet.
From childhood to teenage, the per-
centage of young people with poor
diets increase sharply. The nutri-
ents most commonly lacking in
diets are calcium and vitamin C.
Iron is often low in the diet OF a
teenage girl. Often teenagers are
the poorest fed members of the
family. They skip breakfast, eat
poor snacks, drink no milk and fear
they'll get fat.
Our hostess prepared and served
a delicious and nutritious snack
fireside sandwiches. fruit punch
and peanut butter candy.
