DIETING? DON’T SKIP BREAKFAST
According to authorities on nutrition, you may be fooling your
self if you are skipping or skimping breakfast to cut down your
calorie consumption.
It's this way, they say: Break
fast skippers or skimpers natu
rally get hungrier and usually
eat more at lunch and dinner
And this results in an increase
—not a decrease—in their intake
of calories.
Dr. Frederick J. Stare, head
of the nutrition department of
Harvard University, believes
that if you eat a good breakfast
you are likely to eat less later.
He has called breakfast the most
important meal of the day wheth
er you are trying to reduce or
to maintain in your weight
Nutrition authorities also list
other reasons why you should
not skip or skimp breakfast.
For instance:
“The body has been without
food for 10 to 12 hours and should
be supplied with nutrients needed
for the morning’s activities,"
said Dr. Lydia Roberts, chair
man emeritus of the University
of Chicago department of home
economics.
“Failure to have enough to
eat of the right kind of break
fast may result in fatigue, irri
tability and lessened efficiency
Radiation Protection is Possible

Whether we like it or not
we are living in the nuclear
age and a basic understanding
of radiation is important to
us. We should all know what
Georgia, Dr. Wood suggests, is
that “non-agricultural employ
ment lies in service industries
rather than goods industries, a
trend which is being well doc
umented by experience across
the nation.”
By 1970, he says, “71 per
cent of new jobs will probably
be in the services; the remain
der in manufacturing, mining
and construction.”
The service industries include
11 F 4 it a! i ,4i ac UFnIOn
all of the activities which in
volve buying, selling, financ
ing. transporting, servicing,
teaching, and so on. The out
put of these industries is in
the form of services rendered,
instead of goods produced.
Between 1950 and 1960 Geor
gia employment in the services
grew by 28.6 percent; in goods
producing industries — includ
ing agriculture which declined
54.2 percent —total employment
fell 13.6 percent.
These changes are repre
sentative of Georgia's industri
al evolution, Dr. Wood points
out. In primitive economies ag
riculture is predominant; as
the economy develops manu
facturing comes to the fore; in
the advanced economy the ser
vices are out in front.
Further, these changes in
dicate that Georgia is coming
mto line with the over all U. S.
economic picture. For instance
in 1950, 25.6 percent of the
Georgia labor force was en
gaged in agriculture —the U.
S. figure was 14.2 percent.
By 1960 agricultural employ
ment had declined greatly—to
■ 10.9 percent for Georgia and
9.2 for the U.S.
Some other comparisons are
significant. In 1960, 29 percent
of the Georgia labor force was
engaged in manufacturing
, compared with 26.4 in 1950.
| For the U.S. the 28.1 percent
। of 1960 was virtually the same
as in 1950
But in the service industries
I the changes are most striking.
In Georgia in 1950 only 43.9
i percent of employment was in
i the services. In 1960 the num
ber has increased to 55 percent.
For the U.S. the growth was
from 51.9 to 57 percent.
“In terms of industrial dis-
I tribution of employment, Dr.
Wood says. “Georgia has be
i come remarkably similar to the
i rest of the nation. This was
not true in 1950; it is true in
, 1960.’’
“A conclusion,’’ he adds,
; “which follows from this sim
j ilarity is that Georgia’s future
■ growth in employment will
1 likely parallel that of the na
j tion as a whole.”
As for the future. Dr. Wood
। predicts that for agriculture
_ and other goods industries ern
' ployment between 1960 and
1970 will grow ala slower rate
j than for the service industries.
Farm employment will continue
to decline, but at a much slow
er rate, perhaps about 17 per
i cent for Georgia and for the
nation.
In service* growth will con
tinue. especially if these ser
, vice industries are providing
1 services for people in other
■ states. Georgia’s location is
i such that she could well be
come a regional center for ser
vice industries. Dr. Wood says,
, and the state should make “in
' creased efforts toward atiract-
I ing such industries.”

and work output.”
In “An Introduction to Foods
and Nutrition” Drs. Henry C.
. Sherman and Caroline Sherman
Lanford wrote
“Breakfast is the meal prob
ably the most often slighted. Yet
none is more important in set
ting the pace for the day’s ac
' tivities.
"... many persons who have
been accustomed to eating a
very light breakfast and who
think this serves them well are
surprised to find how much less
tired they feel, and how much
more efficiently they work
through the morning, when they
change to a more abundant
breakfast ”
Doctors and nutritionists ad
vise that breakfast should sup
ply not less than a quarter of the
food nutrients needed per day.
In amounts an individual can
eat comfortably, a good basic
breakfast could include: Citrus
fruit or fruit or vegetable juice;
toast and cereal; eggs with
bacon or other breakfast meat
and toast; butter or margarine;
milk or coffee.
measures to take in the event
of a nuclear accident or dis
aster.
Radioactivity isn’t new.
There’s some of it in the na
tural atmosphere and all liv
ing things have been exposed
to small amounts of it from
natural sources throughout
history. But a nuclear explo
sion is different.
When this happens there are
three basic effects of a nu
clear explosion — blast, heat j
and radiation. The blast and!
heat would cause much death I
and disability within 10 or 15 I
miles of ground zero—the site ■
of primary impact. But radia
tion from radioactive fallout —
material that goes up into the
atmosphere then comes back
down to earth — could cause
injury and death some 300
miles away from the blast.
Fallout shelters are very im
portant away from ground
” — J c
zero because they would pro
tect people from fallout and
this would be the main one of
the three basic effects that
would concern them. Nuclear
explosions produce three types
of fallout — immediate, tro
pospheric and stratospheric.
The latter two remain high in
the air for weeks, months and
even years. Thus they lose
much of their radioactivity be
fore returning to earth. But
immediate fallout —that which
occurs the first day or two af
ter the blast — produces dan
gerous levels of radioactivity
over large areas. In some in
stances it might be possible to
see this fallout in the form of
grayish-white ash but the ra
diation from this fallout would
be invisible and detectable on
ly with special instruments. |
Civil Defense officials are;
prepared to measure such ra- :
diation and make radio an- '
nouncements about protective
measures in the event of an
emergency.
Fallout shelters wouldn’t
provide complete protection
for everybody everywhere but
they are the best means avail
able to protect against radio
active fallout. A shelter with
a “one thousand” protective
factor would be very effective
against even high levels of ra
diation. This would require the
occupant of the shelter to be
surrounded by 22 inches of
concrete or at least three feet
of dirt. If no shelter were
available, staying m the cen
ter of a house or in a basement
for several days after the blast I
would increase your chances
of survival.
Inaddition to a shelter, peo
ple would need drinking water,
food and although not absolu- '
’ tely necessary, an instrument
, to measure radiation and a
portable radio for receiving
instructions from CD.
If the shelter were in or near
your home, it would be possi
ble to leave your shelter in a
, few days after the blast for
! short intervals to get food and '
water located in your home.
Food or water in sealed con
। tamers, even if it were stored
, outside the shelter, would be
. । safe to eat or drink provided
। ' the cans are cleaned before
, they are opened.
; Insects getting into food can
drive you nuts and ruin a
. camping trip. Here’s away to
, beat ’em: Make a strong eye
; level platform in a tree that
I stands apart from others. A
few nails do the job quick
, (you should carry them in your
camp bag) or you may need
. I some axe work and lashing.
Now tie a fluffy rag strip
around the tree trunk both un
der and over the platform.
' Saturate rag strips with bug
bomb. Stop-' 'em crawling up
and crawling down.
IDEAS FOR SUMMER LIVING
Most of us think of summer
as the season for outdoor liv
ing But we aren’t so keen for
the heat that goes with it.
That’s why much remodel
ing is currently directed at
providing a maximum of out
door enjoyment and minimum
discomfort.

and pools are ideal companion
pieces.
Pools can be built to fit a
fairly small yard, while en
closed patios provide air con
ditioned respite for bathers.
For the patio, the Association
suggests wood plank-and-beam
construction.
This form of structure can be
easily and economically added
to the existing dwelling. There
is a flat roof composed of two
inch thick lumber “decking”
supported by horizontal ceiling
beams. The system has such
high self sufficiency that the
only verticals required are
widely spaced wood posts.
When the wall areas beteen
posts are glassed in, the occu
pants are in full view of the
pool beyond the rest of the
landscape. Inside the patio,
they enjoy outdoor living—but
in air conditioned comfort.
The wood roof decking and
thick lumber beams can be
beautifully finished and ex
posed on the interior. The warm
natural look of the wood blends
well with the outdoor view.
To assure the strength the
system requires, plus maximum
air conditioning efficiency, on
ly the stronger wood species,
such as Southern Pine, should
be used, and the lumber should
be pre-shrunk by proper sea
soning. “Pre - shrinking” is
standard practice for all items
of Southern Pine used in plank
and-beam construction. The
resulting snugness keeps the
surface smooth and even; also ;
provides a weathertight climate
for air conditioning.
A further advantage of the
wood roof deck in patio plan
ning is its ease of extension.
