NUTRITION UNIT TEACHES RIGHT FOOD TO SERVE Clubs Will Be Asked to Sponsor Educational Classes 2/42 "Enough of the right food for everybody." That is the slogan adopted by the state and county defense coun¬cil nutrition committees, and the idea which the local group hopes to put into action within a few days. Mrs. Hazel McCarty, elected chairman of the county commit¬tee, said she was meeting today with state committee leaders to formulate the local program. "We have to teach Americans to eat the right kind of food, correctly prepared, in the most nutritional amounts," Mrs. Mc¬Carty said. "President Roosevelt initiated the program when it was discovered that too many youths were being rejected for military service because of defects that could be traced to improper eat¬ing habits or incorrect diets." Course Slated Specifically, the committee will form 20-lesson courses in nutrition which members hope will be spon-sored by organized clubs and other groups throughhout the area. Housewives, grocers, cafe em¬ployes and operators are among those whom the committee hopes to get as students in the classes. "We want everyone who handles food to be able to point out the exact nutritional values of what they serve and to plan menus that provide those values to their fullest extent," the chairman explained. Radio programs and newspaper articles will be used from time to time to get the information broadcast to the public as a whole, she said. Members Listed Besides Mrs. McCarty, members of the executive unit of the com¬mittee are Mrs. C. F. Peacock, Miss Deola Seegmiller, Mrs. Jean S. Welling, Mrs. H. F. Irwin, Rob¬ert Clark, Vern Bullough and Mrs. H. W. Hayward. Others who were present when the committee was formulated un¬der direction of J. A.

Karl Hopkins, Junior Red Cross chairman for Weber county, last January, was today about to be answered. The request was from the San Francisco Red Cross office for 73 art covers for Braille copies of Junior Red Cross News, a monthly paper distributed by Junior Red Cross groups throughout the country. The Braille copies are made by volunteer Braille-ists in the eastern states. Two Missing Mrs. Hopkins asked cooperation of the art departments of the various schools in Ogden, and today 96 covers were in the hands of Miss Sarah Wilson, supervisor of art work for the school system. All but two of the 17 art departments in the city schools had contributed to the collection, and the teachers of those two departments were ill at the time the work was being done. The request received from M. C. Shafer of the regional office at San Francisco, asked that the covers be ready this spring. The 96 were completed during the past three weeks. Among the covers are some of the most artistic design jobs ever produced in the Ogden schools. The general course of the work was different from the usual type of art work in that students do in that texture was used as a medium even more than color. Special Appeal “Texture,” Miss Wilson explained, “has a definite appeal to blind persons. They can feel designs that are embossed or engraved, and they can feel designs that are made of contrasting textures. The feel of a design can be as beautiful as the color to one whose fingers have been sensitized through long use.” Thus, although colorful and striking to the eye, the covers go even further in their composition, being planned to “feel” colorful as well as to look that way. Buttons, oilcloth, cheesecloth and wallpaper are the chief mediums of texture expression used. |
