Since the health of the family depends to a great extent on its nutrition and since food will not be eaten unless it jis appetizing and is attractively served, homemakers may find the following tips helpful in planning daily menus. Do not have a preponderance of one food in a meal. Avoid having many rich foods which are difficult to digest in any one meal. It is not a good idea to use the same food twice in one day with out varying the form in which it is served, except staples like bread, butter, and milk. Do not use the same food twice in the same meal even in differ ent forms. Do not use the same foods too • J constantly from day to day. | Have variety in color, flavor, and texture. ! Combine bland foods with j those of more pronounced flavor. Plan to serve in every meal at (least one food which has staying i quality, at least one food which [requires chewing, and one which [contains roughage. Susan Mathews, Extension Nutritionist.!

HIGH LIGHTS IN THE GEORGIA SCENE As Reported for GPA By ROY McGINTY ATLANTA, Jan, 19, (Special to THE HOME JOURNAL from the State Capitol)—A Highway Board consisting of 10 members, one from each congressional dis trict, will manage Georgia high way affairs during the term of Governor Arnall, according to inside information. Ryburn Clay, Atlanta, has already been named as executive director. The poli cies of the new 10-man board will undoubtedly follow the Gov ernor’s request for no new high way construction during the present emergency, which finds the state with greatly reduced income, largely due to much low er gasoline taxes. The 1943 session of the Gener al Assembly will go down in his tory as a precedent-smasher in at least one respect. Beth houses agreed, by unanimous vote, to cut the 10-day preliminary ses sion to five days. This automati cally reduced the pay of each member $35, and, according to Speaker Roy Harris, saved the state $ll,OOO. This action ought to get a rousing cheer from the folks back home. The regular session began Monday afternoon (Jan. 18) and some predict this will be shortened also. When the legislature got ready for the introduction of bills the middle of last week, Senator Dave Atkinson of Savannah, ad ministration floor leader, caused a ripple of merriment to sweep over the reputedly sedate Senate when he advanced to the clerk’s desk with a large cardboard box filled with bulky administration bills, designed to put the Arnall program on the statute books in record time. A similar scene was being enacted in the House, with Representative Adie Dur den, Albany, in the stellar role of administration floor leader. These measures were immediate ly read and referred to commit tee. This week will see most of thorn enacted into law, with a minimum of opposition, and the Assembly will settle down to the consideration of other letfisla* tion. This may be the day of young men in some spheres of activity —the fighting forces, for in stance —but not in the Georgia legislature. The number of white heads in both Houses is impres sive. A rough guess places a majority of the members in the over-fifty class, and a surprising ly large number are in the 60-to -70 group. The dean of the House, Judge James B. Park, of Greens boro, is 86. Young Governor Ellis Arnall says: “This is the best legisla ture in history.” | Bills have be n introduced in ; both Houses providing for a re turn of the western part of the state to the central time zone. The 1941 session put the entire state in the Eastern zone, and a few weeks later President Roose velt, by executive order, placed the whole country under war time, advancing all clocks an hour. The combined action of the legislature and order of the President made a two-hour dif ference in time ; n western Geor gia, and proponents of the new time change legislation say this is too muen. The Senate mea sure is sponsored by two north Georgians, Senator Claude Pitt man, of Cartersville, and Elbert Forester, of Trenton, who come from a section where a number of the towns and cities, influenc ed by the fact that Chattanooga and east Tennessee are still in the central time zone, have run their clocks back an hour in spite of the 1941 statute. Senator Herschel Lovett, of Dublin, believer that legislators should have a flat salary of, say, $5OO a year. If they finished their business in 30 or 40 days, they would get $500; if they wanted to stay in Atlanta all the year and wrangle and play poli tics, they would get only $5OO. Senator Lovett believes that.such a measure would produce better legislators and legislation. Governor Ellis Arnall put it to the legislature this way when he (Continued To Back Page)
