You Family Food ..
Nutrition Knowledge
It is generally agreed by au
thorities to-day that the aver
age homemaker’s knowledge of
nutrition—and her ability to
cook have much to do with the
health and well being of her
family.
To find out how much the
typical homemaker knows a
bout nutrition a survey was re
cently conducted by the U. S.
Deparment of Agriculture in
Richmond, Virginia. Questions
were asked' of four hundred re
presentatives homemakers in
200 city blocks.
The survey showed that:—
Half of the homemakers had
little or no information on nu
trition. Only four per cent had
adequate information. The re
maining 46 per cent had some.
Only about half the homemak
ers .were providing adequate
daily meals for their families;
that is, only about half includ
ed food from all the seven bas
ic food groups in their daily
menus.
Sources of Information
To learn the best means of
getting facts about foods and
nutrition information, to the
average homemaker. The wom
en were asked their sources
of information. Their replies
showed that: l
Nine out of Ten had news
papers, magazines or radios in
their homes. The majority took
their ideas from newspapers or
magazines and con sidered
them most helpful. Next to
the press, the radio was the
chief source of ideas on foods
and nutrition, but only one-six
th had ever attended.
Children influenced about
half the mothers by what they
learned at school about foods
and nutrition.

THE SPORTS TRAIL
By Dick Lebbs
During the baseball season
soon to open, Nebraska will
have eight sons cavorting on
major league diamons. Of the
eight, five will undoubtedly
see considerable service.
The newest addition in the
ranks of the majors is Richie
Ashgurn, a native of Tilden.
Destined orginally for Toron
to, Ashburn set a blistering
pace during spring training.
Result— Ben Chapan, Philadel
phia Phillie manager, wrote a

by the Boston Braves to the
Pittsburg Pirates. Hopp finish

ting average.
Omaha’s Rex Barney is to
be given another chance as a
starting pitcher. Leo Duroch,

Barney’s stuff. If Rex acquires
more control, he will give NL
batters a bad time. Doyle

Among the remaining three
