Mrs, Cross used "A Day A Pitch for Snacks It takes a skillful pitcher to throw three balls across the plate for a strike out, whether he be major, minor, or little leaguer. In the nutrition league, you make a pitch for a similar feat when you limit yourself to three meals a day. Because many of ua do not call into play good meal-planning strategy, three meals may not be enough to strike out the desire for food and meet the need for calories, vitamins, minerals, pro teins. Hence, the wisdom of the well-planned coffee break or the television tidbit . . . the snack that satisfies and carries its quota of essential nutrients. As long as you balance the amount of food you eat with the amount of energy you spend, snacking is good mealtime strategy. That a four- or five-meal day can result in eating more of the essential foods is shown in a Montana State University study. When preschool children ate a midmorning snack, they were able to increase their intake of nutrients. Preschoolers, little leaguers, and teeners alike have a double header need for food to meet the demands of growth and ac tivity. Adults, too, need innings for replenishing energy stores. Well-planned snacks fill these needs. Weight-worriers who use good snack strategy take advantage of the convenient lay-away plan . . . laying away part of tha reg ular meal until later. No matter what the plan, make sure the foods that cross your plate include enough: Enriched or whole grain bread or cereal, fruits and vegetables, milk, meat or an alternate. "Fortified Fun," Recalls Pioneers Of Elmwood The following concerns a poem dedicated to an Elmwood man. (Dedicated to Dudley Leavitt, the memory of Sodom College and days of youth.) Often the joys of being among Kids of those epochal times we were young Visits me yet as memory stays Those grandsome vacations, but grander school days. The marbles, the swimming, the racing and all The fun of vacation till school in the fall Fell-silenced the rooms where always it looked If fun we would have it had to be booked. Lo, "Sodom" was named a school in the wood And "College", the school, as proudly it stood Near a trickling stream in that timberland run Booking Dud, with the other kids fortified fun! William A. Clark Miles City, Montana, March 9, 1959 The Journal, Composing of the poem, "For tified Fun", was included as part of a Christmas letter (1958) to Dudley Leavitt, now of Elm wood, where he grow up in that vicinity and was a fine boyhood friend of the writer. (Until her incapacity and late passing, Mrs. Leavitt was correspondent for The Journal.) I was brought up in the village, spent many years under John A. Clements with the Leader-Echo and succeeded him as publisher upon his de cease. Was forced from the business by contracting prin ters' TB. The verses were most casually conceived; however, the inci dence of my presence at the very inspirational spot with Dud, only a couple of years ago as we arrived in my car near the now empty site, wrote much upon my heart-strings as the facial ex pression of my old friend mer ged suddenly and softly his sorrow-cast observance that 'my old school has disappeared" not knowing until then whether it had or not. Yes, the old school houses are razed and gone, bat as long as memory shall cherish the happy days these centers contributed to youth, Sodom College among them, there is Apart Service" called "The Call to Witness" in which Mrs. Bev erly Herman, Mrs. Martha Ex line and Mrs. Cleora Courtney were readers.

Mrs. Fae Morton and Mrs. Kenny Hoback and a group of their Camp Fire girls attended morning services at the Metho dist Church last Sunday. The girls sang "In the Garden". Guest ministers were Rev. j Shanklin and Rev. Clint Rcsscr, of Central City. Rev. Res.ser preached the morning sermon. Rev. and Mrs. Embree really had n very dan gerous trip to Union Sunday morning as the pavement was . ice covered. still a vivid reminder of school teacher belling her wards from play in the school yards of yes terday. My own school was in Elmwood only a couple of miles up the creek, but I had visited the vicinity of this earliest-day Nebraska school many times in quest of cottontails, squirrels, bullheads or whatnot, always negotiating thickets and rough terrain on foot. As one neared the vicinity of this institution of early learn ing the staccatoed echo of high pitched notes quite often boost ed the cheer of an eventide stillness as inviting weather pleasantness gave rise to the exuberant melodies of yodeling supervened by the "graduated" Tyson boys, quite likely to carry from their home beyond the pre cincts of Sodom College where those same boys had their dis trict schooling, as well as to alert nelghborlies such as the Gygers, the Clarkes (spelled with an "e"), the Hollenbecks, et al. (L. A. Tyson Elmwood druggist, was at one time a Plattsmouth resident and coun ty clerk, as was also W. E. Rosen crans, barber extraordinary and early resident contemporary of the same village.) Happiness was a rife Inher ence of the countryside com mensurate with a peoples' moves when lumber wagons served the only real joy rides, by the load or otherwise, as well as filling the needs of heavy transport peculiarly of sole resort during that period. The school edifice, ever bearing the sobriquet, So dom College, was one erected by some Nebraska's earliest pio neers, doubtless of the more readily available log construct ion, a supply ever-present for the economic expedience of the time. Bess Streeter Aldrich, writing in her novel, "The Lantern In Her Hand", makes Sodom Col lege the school for a young cou ple freshly settled among the earliest pioneers of what was to be the Elmwood vicinity when the eastern part of territorial Nebraska had few of the make shift buildings such as would serve the educative purposes of their offspring. The setting most surely represents a hallowed counter-spot for the archives of memory, pictures of such scenes serving best those who have had contacts with the long ago and how I would like to have a picture of the school herein of special mention!"
