CHILDHOOD EATING HABITS
CAN CAUSE ADULT OBESITY
Faulty eating habits started
in early childhood often are the
cause of overweight adults in
later life says the Georgia Dept,
of Public Health’s publication
“Georgia’s Health.”
All too many mothers, with
the best of intentions, nag and
wheedle their small fry into
eating more than they want to
eat. The healthy, fat baby who
remains chubby as he grows
into pre-school and girst grade
years becomes less attractive
as an individual. And the habit
of eating more calories than
necessary is likely to remain
the rest of his life.
The parent should not be the
one to decide whether the child
should lose weight, how he
should lose it, or whether he

Plenty of physical activity is
needed for the child to burn

found that the overweight

If it fits your doctor’s coun

your youngster lose weight—
Weigh once a week and keep
track of the weight. Use the

COMMUNITY OF INTERESTS are shared by President Kennedy
and former President Herbert Hoover. Mr. Hoover has for 25 years
■erved a« chairman of the Boys' Clubs of America. President Ken
nedy and his family have long worked with Boys’ Clubs of Boston.
Youth workers, constantly
seeking new weapons in their ef
forts to wipe out juvenile delin
quency, receive welcome aid
through the universal appeal of
small boys.
While students of human na
ture have never completely ex
plained this appeal, no one ar
gues with its ability to move men
large and small, young and old,
to acts of unselfish dedication.
Whether it is rooted in nostalgia,
or simply reflects a recognition
of practical values, interest in
youth is a marvel which con
tinually replenishes man’s hope.
Proof of this power—if it is
needed—is offered daily by many
thousands of dedicated men who
give freely of their time, talent
and funds to work with more
than 600,000 deserving members
of the Boys’ Clubs of America.

Fresh fruits are good for
snacks.
Keep a supply of raw car
rots, radishes, celery sticks
and pickles for more snack
ing. Tomato juice or clear
bouillion can serve for drinks.
Use smaller plates in serv
ing meals, so that the por
tions will look larger. En
courage the family to eat
slowly and really taste the
food.
Cut out rich salad dressings;
instead use vinegar and
lemon juice.
Trim fat from meat, take it
easy on the butter and sub
stitute skim milk for whole
milk. But be sure to get suf
ficient Vitamin A from from
fruits and vegetables.
The most important factor in
helping the obese child to re
duce poundage is to handle it
naturally. Don’t make a point
of telling the child he is on a
reducing diet. Just serve the
meals naturally and as a mat
ter of course. Avoid nagging
the child about his diet. It will
only make him rebellious and
more inclined to snack on the
sly.

President Kennedy, whose fam

Mr. Hoover says that “after the

"Hidden" Qualifies Our Floors
Should Conceal in Our Homes
Nearly everything we enjoy
—or endure —in our homes can
be t~aced in some degree to
conditions beneath the floors.
Whether our floors conceal
hidden values or hidden haz
ards can make a huge differ
ence in the ultimate costs of
home ownership and in the per
formance of the house itself.
In fact, many housing ex
perts regard the formation of
foundation and floor structure
as the most important single
step in con struction. The
Southern Pine Association ex
plains the wide area of impact
as follows:
1. Walking comfort, no small
consideration, since the aver
age housewife walks nearly
eight miles in an average day.
Dr. R. Schjodt, of Norway, in
ternationally known research
expert, says “the hardness, or
conversely the cushioning ef
fect of floors is an important
part of our housing standards.”
2. Sanitation: — Foundation
and floor structure should be
designed to prevent water
seepage and counter impact of
water vapors rising from soil.
Such humidity is a possible
source of damage to rugs and
fabrics, can cause musty odors
in closets.
3. Heating, Cooling: Design
of floor structure is important
factor in humidity control,
which helps determine cost and
working efficiency of air, heat
conditioning.
4. Security:—High strength
is a prime requirement, since
floor structure carries weight
of dwelling and all its occu
pants and contents. The floor
structure also provides link be
tween house and foundation.
The strength at this vital junc
ture affects the ability of the
house to withstand violent
storms.
5. Construction Costs: Place
ment of plumbing and electri
cal work are important factors
in construction costs. The floor
structure should be designed
to simplify these jobs and to
permit easy repairs of gas and
water pipes, sewer connections,
etc., as necessary.
6. House Additions, New Ap
pliances: Ease of home addi
tions depends to a large ex
tent on foundation and floor
structure. So does ability to
install ducts, service pipes, etc.,
which may be required for new
appliances.
7. Appearance Os Floors: The
quality of the hidden supports
is even more important than
that of the flooring itself. For
the floors to stay smooth and
noisless, there must be stabili
ty and strength in the support
ing structure.
8. House Appearance: A
“firm keel” makes an obvious
contribution to lasting beauty
of the building. The degree of
elevation the floor structure
provides is also important, par
ticularly for low lying com
temporary homes. A slight ele
vation gives better balance
and more pleasing proportions.
Dr. Schjodt, the Norwegian
researchist, says quality re-

To Be Minister
At Evanston, 111.
Dr. Dow N. Kirkpatrick, 45-
year-old minister of St. Mark
Methodist Church in Atlanta,
will become senior minister of
First Methodist Church, Evan
ston, 111., on September 15, it
was announced recently.
The announcement was made
by Bishop John Owen Smith
of Atlanta and Bishop Charles
W. Brashares of Chicago.
Dr. Kirkpatrick will be the
21th minister to serve First
Methodist Church, Evanston,
long considered one of Ameri
ca’s most prominent Protestant
pulpits. He succeeds Dr. Har
old Bosley, who resigned from
the church last January to be
come pastor of Christ Church
in New York City.
The greater Chicago church
came into international promi
nence in 1954 when the World
Council of Churches held its
opening sessions there.
Dr. Kirkpatrick will be re
turning to his native state to
accept the pastorate. He was
born in Sesser, 111., in 1917,
though he has served as a min
ister in Georgia since he was
21 years old. He was admitted
on trial into the North Georgia
Conference in 1938.
The Atlanta minister was a
Ph.D. at 28 years of age. He
received that degree in 1945
from Drew University at Mad
ison, N. J. He has also studied
at Fordham, Oxford Edinburgh,
and Emory Universities. Em-
quirements are high and stress
es the need for resiliency. This
essential property and others
are provided by the raised
platform floor structure of
lumber, over foundation walls
of concrete, masonry, or wood
Piling.
The “platform” system uses
the high resiliency of lumber
in a series of natural shock ab
' sorbers for greater walking
i comfort. It also has a favora
i ble impact on the cohesion of
! the entire building. In most
■ homes, the wall and roof fram
; ing are of lumber. The presence
of the same material in the
floor structure permits a clos
• er integration of all parts of
the house. For maximum se
curity, the wood structure
should be solidly bolted to the
foundation walls.
Other advantages of the
“platform” system stem from
the “crawl space” under the
house and the slightly elevated
character of the building. The
“crawl space” provides a buf
fer between house and earth
moisture, also expedites instal
lation and repair of pipes, wir
ing, etc. Visually, the arrange
ment gives better overall pro
portions to a low lying contem
porary home.
Lumber used for the “plat
form” structure should be good
quality. Only the stronger spe
cies, such as Southern Pine,
should be specified, and the
lumber should be dried and
“pre-shrunk” by proper season
ing. This “pre-shrunk” condi
tion gives greater strength and
assures stability and smooth
ness of the floors above. Pro
per seasoning and “pre-shrink
ing” are mandatory grade re
quirements in the case of
Southern Pine.
All lumber used within 18
inches of the ground should
have the additional protection
of pressure treatment with
chemical preservaties, which
are toxic to termites.

This was brought to light in
a report by Revenue Commis

According to the Southern

should be pressure treated
with chemical preservatives
when used within 18 inches of
the ground or under conditions
of severe weather exposure.
Modern chemicals are toxic to
