Those against the measure will point to the increase in taxes which passage would necessitate; they will point out the possibility of the hospital becoming what is known as a “political football.” But they will agree we need a hospital. Among those in favor of the measure will be some who re member seeing death stalk in to their household because adequate hospital care was not available in time. Others who have not had this experience will want a hospital as a pro tection against this unwelcome guest, and they will think not only of themselves but also of their friends and relatives. This latter group will be aware that taxes will be rais ed, and they’ll be aware that in some instances county hos pitals have become involved with politics; but they’ll bend their backs a little lower to take on the tax increase, knowing that they are invest ing in their future.

LOCAL BARBER, BEAUTY SHOPS ARE LIABLE FOR PROSECUTION HEALTH DEPT. DISCUSSES FOODS ON BROADCAST In it’s weekly readio broadcast Tuesday afternoon the Chat tooga County Health Depart ment presented Miss Wilma Pace, county health nurse, and Mrs. Margaret H. Mathews, Reg ional Nutrition Consultant, of Rome, in a discussion of the Bas ic Seven groups of foods. Pointing out that good health was the result of good foods, the program was designed to show which are the right foods to eat, how to plan meals that con tain these foods, to buy wisely arid proper preparation. The first step in food prepara tion is to plan ahead—a week at a time—giving thought and care in the selection of family food needs. Good food is not ex pensive food. The Basic Seven groups of foods include green and yellow vegetables, oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes and raw leafy vegetables, potatoes and other vegetable^ and fruit, milk and milk products, lean meat, chicken, fish and other protein foods, bread and other cereal products and butter and marga rine. From the basic groups well rounded meals can be prepared daily. By knowing which are the protein foods and the daily re quirements of each member of each member of the family for this food, the family shopper can by thought and care know exactly just how much lean meat, fish cheese or other pro tein foods to buy for her family. Not only will she assure her family of their daily needs but, will make the family budget for food go further. Laying stress on the need of the body for protein foods it was pointed out in the -discussion that during the war prisoners suffered more from lack of pro tein foods than any other and that it is the shortage of these foods today in Europe and Asia that is causing such a serious health prolem. It w T as further revealed that the lack of the proper amounts of protein foods was a contributing cause in the large number of school children being overage for their grades. These children do not feel well । enough to do good school work. A properly well-fed body and an alert mind go hand-in-hand. The Chattooga County Health Department has a weekly broad cast on some phase of the coun- Ity’s health problems. The pro gram is heard at 2 p. m. each Tuesday.
