Red Cross Nutrition
Class Is Studying
Vital Problems
The Red Cross Nutrition class,
which meets twice a week in the
Blakely City Hall, is studying some
very vital problems in food for de
fense.
It has been found that one-third
of the American people are living
on poor diets, another one-third is
getting what we consider only fair,
and only the remaining one-third is
eating good diets.
Out of our 130,000,000 American
citizens, some 45,000,000 of these
are living on diets below the health
safety line.
Now we see that we have a serious
food problem. What is to be done
about it?
In our own homes we have the so
lution: Are we serving adequate
diets? You are if you are serving
foods each day from each of these
five food groups:
1. Milk and milk products.
2. Fruits and vegetables.
3. Cereals and breads.
4. Meat, fish and eggs.
5. Fats and sugars.
“Life means work”—every living
moment the body needs food mate
rials to supply energy. Now, more
than ever, we need energy—energy
to defend our homes and country.
Are we willing to learn what foods
are economical and energy-giving?

The “Woman’s
Angle” of the Food
For Victory Program
Early county farm women are get
ting some help from the men folks
with their gardens this year, accord
ing to Miss Ted M. Phelps, Home
Management supervisor of the Farm
Security Administration.
“Although the women still consid
er the garden primarily their con
cern, Early county men don’t have
to be nagged into preparing that
plot for spring planting this year
and even using stable compost on
the garden plot instead of the cotton
patch,” she said.
Spurred by ESA’s all-out effort in
the Food for Freedom program, and
the nation’s increasing need for war
time food production, 145 FSA farm
er women in Early county are pledg
ing themselves to raise more food
for their families and for market,
and to preserve more food than
ever before.
Miss Phelps says that the Farm
Security families in this county plan
to exceed last year’s all-time high
goal in canning during 1942 (79
quarts per person), and to do a
great deal of drying and preserving
in brine. They will endeavor to
make their families entirely self
sustaining the year round, and, in
addition, to provide garden truck
for sale.
Each family will feed itself, so
that no food need be bought which
might be shipped to our allies, or
used by our armed forces. These
families, in growing their own food
supply, will also release transporta
tion facilities for necessary defense
users.
In the Fifth Region, embracing
Alabama, Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina, FSA families have
bought or ordered a total of 350
tons of garden seed, at a cost of
$250,000, to go into production of
the 12-month garden which each of
them has been asked to plant.
FOR SALE— My residence on
South Main street. Has new roof.
Terms if desired. Will also exchange
for improved farm lands. See S. G.
