Oldest U. S. Sunrise Ceremony
Still Greets Easter Morning
This Easter morning, B. J.
Pfohl (left) leads for the fifty
first year a band which has
played at Winston - Salem,
IS. C., every Easter morning
for more than 175 years. The
strangest band in the world,
possibly the largest, this group
drmcs from 300 to 400 play
ers for its performance.

Salem's band was founded by Moravian settlers front Ger
many but this Easter it awakens not a village hut a city of
95,000. Above photo shows the group assembling for its re
hearsal at the old Home Moravian church. Mr. Pfohl estimates
he has inducted about 4,000 members into the band.
Touring the city in busses
and playing under streetlights,
the band awakens Salemites
each Easter in a traditional
ceremony that has gone un
broken through the years. Lat
I er bandsmen go to the old Belo
home where ladies of the Mo
ravian church have a hot break
fast ready for them. Then they
proceed to God’s acre, the Mo
ravian cemetery, to lead the
ancient sunrise service. Right:

buried in plots, according to
age, sex and whether married
or not. There are no “family

any descriptions. Left: Oldest

WHAT to EAT and WHY

water which is as necessary
Approximately two-thirds of<
the body is composed of water.
It is found in the muscles, in
the brain tissue, in the various
organs such as liver and kid
neys, and even in the bones.
Every cell in the body is de
pendent upon water for its
proper functioning.
Body's Need for Liquids
This precious fluid acts as a sol
vent of food materials and makes
possible their di
gestion and absorp
tion. Since it is an
essential constitu
ent of the blood, it
helps to transport
nutrients to every
cell—this function
alone requiring
about 10 pounds of
water in constant
circulation. Final

inate waste prod
ucts from the body through the
i lungs, skin and kidneys.
The daily losses of water from
the body must be replaced regu
larly or the consequences may be
extremely serious to health. It
has been shown that headaches,
nervousness and indigestion may
result when the intake of fluids is
diminished below normal require
ments.
Beverages Classified
The quantity of water needed by
each person varies with the di
etary and with the season of the
year, much larger amounts being
i required when the temperature is
high. But it is generally agreed
that everyone should consume sev
eral glasses of water daily, in ad
dition to the water obtained from
foods, chiefly fruits and vegeta
bles. Part of the need is met by
milk, and by coffee, tea, cocoa,
fruit juices and various other
fruit-flavored drinks which add
pleasure to mealtime, serve as
wholesome, between-meal pick
j me-ups, and provide a gracious
method of extending hospitality to
guests.
Aside from milk, which belongs
in a classification by itself, and
fruit juices which are consumed
chiefly for their minerals and vita
mins, beverages fall into two
! groups which overlap somewhat:
those that are refreshing and those
that are stimulating.
Refreshing Beverages
The refreshing beverages in
clude fruit juices, fruitades and
carbonated drinks, such as ginger
ale and sarsaparilla. They are ef
fective in quenching thirst and
their appetizing flavors encourage
the drinking of generous amounts
of water. They also contribute
energy values to the diet in pro
portion to the amount of sweeten
ing used in their preparation.
Fruit juices are most frequently
served as an appetizer at break
fast, lunch or dinner. Fruitades
are useful as between-meal drinks
and when entertaining. Children
like to display their hospitality to
friends and this type of beverage,
served with a few crackers or
simple cookies, makes an attrac
tive snack.
Mothers will find it convenient
and economical to utilize for this
purpose beverage crystals which
come in a variety of fruit flavors.
These make wholesome, refresh
ing beverages at a minimum cost;
the amount of sweetening may be
determined by individual prefer
ence; and they are so easily pre
pared that children may do the
mixing themselves.
Stimulating Beverages
The stimulating beverages are
coffee, tea, chocolate and cocoa.
When made with milk, chocolate
and cocoa are rich in nutritive
values, {hough their fuel value va
ries with the product used. Choco
late is much richer in fat than
cocoa, and products labeled
“breakfast cocoa” usually contain

p
cocoa fat than products simply la
beled, “cocoa.”
The food value of coffee and tea
depends entirely upon the cream
or milk, and sugar with which
they are served. However, they
have an important place in the
dietary because their flavor and
aroma add greatly to the enjoy
ment of other foods and they give
a comfortable feeling of well
being.
The stimulating principle in
these beverages is known as caf
fein in coffee, and thein in tea.
Doctors may forbid coffee because
of some abnormality in health
which makes a stimulant unde
sirable. But competent authori
ties hold that the effects of the
moderate use of coffee by normal
individuals may be disregarded.
Neither coffee nor tea, however,
should be given to children. First,
because they do not need stimu
lants, and second, because the use
of these beverages will tend to
reduce the consumption of milk
which is so important to their nu
tritional welfare.
Guard Against Staleness
The subject of coffee has been
investigated from many angles by
competent scientists, whose find
ings should be of interest to home
makers. The flavor and aroma of
coffee are derived chiefly from a
volatile oil, which is developed
during the roasting process. But
it has been established that this
substance is rapidly lost from the
coffee upon exposure to air. More
over, each pound of coffee con
tains about two ounces of fixed oil
which may become rancid in the
presence of air. These changes
occur whether the coffee is ground
or in the bean.
Since stale, flavorless coffee
may have an adverse effect upon
appetite, it is important to buy a
product that is protected against
the air, or to choose one that is
freshly roasted. The homemaker
should also buy coffee in small
quantities so that it can be used
up quickly once it is opened. After
the coffee has been made, there
may be a further escape of its
flavor and fragrance with both
heat and steam. That is why cof
fee should not be allowed to stand,
but should be served the moment
it is made, and why it should not
be reheated.
Tea also deteriorates when it is
stored for long periods. It should
therefore be bought in small quan
tities and kept in air-tight con
tainers.
Questions Answered
Mrs. J. F. A.—Numerous inves
tigations with children indicate
that there is a definite connection
between bodily well-being and
mental ability. A child with poor
appetite and digestion may exhibit
poor powers of concentration, list
lessness or irritability, all of
which interfere with the ability to
learn.

( Safety Talks )
*Pedestrian Faults*
"THE National Safety council has
* charged pedestrians with a
large share of the responsibility
for traffic accidents that killed 39,
500 persons in 1937. Of this total
15,400 were pedestrians.
In “Accident Facts,” a statisti
cal review of 1937, the council
said: “Many pedestrians show ut
ter lack of caution in their use of
streets and highways. Combined
state reports for 1937 show that in
67 per cent of all fatal pedestrian
accidents the pedestrian either
was violating a traffic law or was
acting in an obviously unsafe man
ner. In non-fatal accidents pedes
trian faults appeared in 69 per
cent of the cases.”
The council described such
things as jay-walking, failure to
observe traffic lights, drunken
walking, walking with instead of
against traffic on rural highways,
crossing streets in the middle of a
block as “pedestrian faults.”
