Our Menus Are More Healthful
Than They Were 20 Years Ago
By DOUGLAS LARS«uiN g
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON~—Americans are learning what
to eat. The most comprehensive study ever made
of the eating habits of the American people has
just been released by the Department of Agricul«
ture. For the first time it reveals all the details
of the U, 8. diet trends since 1909,
Expert nutritionists who helped prepare the re
port. agree that todays average American menu
is far maore balanced and healthfui than it was 20
years ago. Advertising and public health cam-«
paigns for years have been trying to educale the
people to this end, But up until now there has
never been such postive proof of the success of
these efforts.
There has been a steady shift away from the
foods that make you fat to the foods that give you
more energv and supply moer of the important
vitamins. In 20 years the average person has re
duced his potato eating 63 per cent, During that
same period his consumption of canned fruit juices
has jumped 453 per cent, That phenomenal in
create is the biggest single change that has oc
curred in the American diet,
From the standpoint of health, the experts say
that increases in the consumption of dairy vro
ducta. all fruits, and vegetables are the most
gignificent changes. The eating of dairy products,
exciusive of butter, has gone up approximately
40 per eent. For vegetables the rise was 40 per
cent, and lor all fruits, 41 per cent,
POTATOES AND WHEAT HAVE SUNK
The relative increases are only slightly mini
mized by the foct that the aaverage American’s in
take of all food has gone up cbout 12 ver cent, The
big increases in consumption of dairy products,
fruits and vegetables means that these items have
become & much bigger fraction of the American
diet than potatoes and wheat products, the latter
having dropped 46 per cent in relative popularity
during the past 20 years,
In actual poundage, according to the report, the
average per capila consumption of wheat from in
the form of such things as bread and cake has
w from 203 pounds per year in 1909 to 128
o . The only wheat products which have in
‘¢eveased in popularity are spaghetti and macaroni.
Average per capita gonsumption of those two has
increased irom 4-1 pounds to 6.6 pounds.
The diei experts point out that there are im
portant food elements in wheat products which are
egsential to life. But in the past there was a ten
dency to make them too big a fraction of the diet,
The trend away from that large quantity which
used to be eaten is considered good because it has
been in the direction of more balanced diets.
Today the average person eats about 1581
pounds of food per year, according to the report.
Here it is broken down according to nrajor food
groups:
At the top are dairy products with 431 poundsg
as the average yearly quantity consumed per per
son. Next most popular group is 348 pounds of
leafy yellow and green vegetables ,other vegetables
except potatoes, and fruit except citrus fruit and
tomatoes.
GRAIN PRODUCTS THIRD
Third on the list are 171 pounds of grain pro
ducts including those made from wheat, corn, rye,
barley and rice, The next in order: 158 poupds
of meat, poultry and fish; 115 pounds of potatoes
and sweet potatoes; 106 pounds of sugar and
syrups; 165 pounds of citrus fruit and tomatoes;
65 pounds of fats, oil and butter, 47 pounds of
eggs; 18 pounds of coffee, tea and cocoa; and 16
pounds of dry beans, peas, nuts and soya products.
They added up to the total of 1581 pounds,
In 1908 grain productg were the second mosi
popular foods after dairy products. Since 1909 po
tatoes dropped from fourth to fifth place, switche
ing places with meat, fish and poultry.
_ Within the major groups three have also been
some interesting shifts. Corn bread uged to be &
popular food down south and with the lower in
come groups to the north, Average per capita
consumption dropped from 525 pounds to 14.5
pounds. Hominy gritizc which are eaten almost ex
elusively in the gouth have dropped from an av
erage per person consumption of 45 pounds per
person to 2.4 pounds. There has been a very re
cent increase in the consumption of grits
not shown in the report which has the ex
are eaten almot exclusively in the south have
dropped rom a&n average per person consumption
of 4.5 pounds per person to 2.4 pounds, There has
beet: & very recent increase in the consunrption of
grits not shown in this report which has the ex
perts stumped, however.
Coffee drinking hes also increased noticeably.
Average yearly intake in 1909 was 7.6 pounds, "o~
day It is close to 18 pounds per person,
The report is of greatest interest to all persons
sonnected with the food busipess.

Arms Aid Program ‘
The two houses of Congress have agreed on sl,-
814,000,000 for arms aid to friendly countries, While
this sum is slightly less than the Administration
originally asked, it represents a complete yielding
by the House, which had voted only $869,505,000
this summer.
Uquestionably the news that Russia has the
atomic bomb was the spur to quick action on a
matter that could have dragged on for days.
The result is commendable, even though it was
achieved under a sort of duress. It seems un
fortunate that so often Congress is moved to wise
steps not by gauging their wisdom but by respond
ing to threatening gestures from abroad.
It is conceded, for example, that it would have
been much more difficult—if not impossible—to
have won approval of the Marshall Plan were it
not for the 1948 Communist coup in Czechoslovakia
and the later Berlin blockade.
Until President Truman’s disclesure of Russia’s
atomic explosion, the House had been prepared to
battle for the $580,000,000 cut it made in proposed
military assistance to nations which have signed
the Nonl: Atlantic Treaty.
Now the larger Senate figure will prevail, and
America’s allies can take heart at a moment when
they undoubtedly are more fearful than at any time
since World War II ended.
That $1,314,000,000¢ is hard proof to our friends
that we mezn to back up our pledges in the Atlantic
Pact with money and arms.
{f ihe purposes of this program are as they have
been stated, the aid will enable allied countries to
toughen their military core of resistance to internal
Communist uprisings.
The assistance also will give the strong
initial boost they need toward rebuilding their own
armies gradually through the years—to the point
where they may offer stout barriers.to invasion
fron the outside.
This present sum is not the whole story. America
expects to provide more in future years, as a con=-
tinuing stimulus to this rebuilding process and a
repeated assurance that we will not desert our allies
if trouble comes.
The arms aid program is no guarantee these na
tions will be able to stand off an aggressor until cur
full might could be hurled against him.
But the United States nevertheless has extended
far more than token aid to the non-Communist
world and in so doing has given the defer.ders of
frggdom a tremendous lift.
Let's Look Info This
New violence has erupted on the picket lines at
the Bell Aircraft plant in Buffalo, N. Y. This is only
the latest of several outbreaks in a strike of more
than three months’ duration. = -
So far as we can learn, neither President Truman
nor any other prominent national official has pub=-
licly deplored these disturbances. Yet the President
and many others were quick to voice their disgust
at the Peekskill, N. Y., riot involving Communists
and a loose alliance of misguided veterans and
teen-age hoodlums,
Why are we so complacent about bloodshed on
the picket lines? If violence is bad, it is no less so
at Buffalo than at Peekskill.
I'm just an old channel catfish. —Vice President
Alben W, Barkley, on living in a goldfish bowl.
The Democratic Party is a national party, and
not a sectional party any more. The tail no longer
wags the dog.—President Truman.
Bah, there's no real boxing today. The kids—they
don't know how to roll with a punch, how to stalk
a man and wait for just one good onening. They
get out there and slug for few rounds with pow
der-puff punches and one of them goes down.—
Former world’s heavyweight champion James J.
Jetfries.
I raise the point of order of what right has any
one here to look into the activities of a member of
Congress—Rep. James E. Van Zandt (R), Penn
sylvania.
It is only by assuming that students are irrespon
sible adolescents at the mercy of all ideas that one .
can argue for the political screening of collegeg
faculties.—Harold Taylor, president of Sarah
Lawrence College,
Americans who can't see why Western Europei
cannot have a union similar to that of this country |
fail to realize the depth of iraditions of separate
nationalism and the difficulty of doing away with
customs bairiers and uniting different monetary
systems.—Prof. Pieter Geyl, University of Utrecht.
T am a shy and timid person, and although I un
derstand that people will laugh and doubt that I
have now finished with motion pictures, I wish to
inform you that my decision is a firm one.— Actress
Ingrid Bergman.
A married woman and a mother have just as
much right to a career as a single woman. T don't
think they neglect their homes, because with so
many mechanical devices on the market they can
do both.—Olive H. Huston, executive director nf
the National Federation of Business and Profes
sional Women’s Clubs.

Car owners in three different price
classes—all happy about the same thing.
One of them drives a new Buick
SPECIAL, which you see poking forth
its new, bold-look forefront at the

Another will tell you there’s nothing
like the SUPER’'S “happy medium” of
size and comfort, power and easy
handling, style and standing.
And if you're looking for prestige,
where is your money going to buy so
much as in that handsome 18-footer,
the ROADMASTER, with its 150-hp per

Teen - Canteen
By Rev. Charlie Middlebrooks
1 guess I'm going to have to quit
writing these columns. In my first
one I was talking about going
back to school. What happened?
I'm taking a course at tne Uni
versity in French, of all things.
Now I want to tell you about a
| visit T made to the opening of the
Teen-Canteen out at Memorial
Park. I guess I'll be wishing I
could revert to High School age
again, which could prove embar
rassing.
The people of Athens should be
proud of the work of the City Re
creation Department. I just won
der if we appreciate it enough.
The churches and church people
have too often felt that recreation,
| or re-creation as it should proper
|ly be, is the business of someone
| else. Certainly, if the churches do
| not sponsor wholesome recreation
al programs to supplement religi
ous teaching, someone must do it,
or the young people will find their
own. This does not always prove
satisfactory as has been proven to
the regret of many parents.
‘The Athens Recreation Depart
| ment is giving to the youth of our
city a program of wholesome,
well-chaperoned recreation. There
should be no problem of where to
go or what to do over the week
end with such a beautiful and
well equipped place as Memorial
Park. Mayor Wells dropped in
about the time I did, and we were
tempted to trv our hands at ping
| puig. tUnfortunately two fellows
higger than we had the table, and
we were afraid to tackle them.

So why not look the whole line over?
Your Buick dealer has these grand
travel-mates in a baker’s dozen of

your shopping in his showroom—and
youll find that even on delivery he

day and Saturday night to eat at
the Snack Bar. My wife’s doctor
has put me on a diet, but that
looks like something too good to
miss. And for a lounge-hound
like me those plush couches are
just the thing. I guess I'll have
to be a kid again in spite of my~
self. ~
The old army canteen quenched
many a thirst on long marches or
in the thick of battle. This kind
of canteen will do the same in the
lives of our young people, thirsty
for a place to have good, clean
fun. P
If you haven't been out to the
Teen Canteen, go look it over. This
applies to old as well as young,
You'll want to go back. And you
might call or write the Reecrea
tion Department and thank them
for doing such a splendid job for
our young folks.
