During January, through our
[home demonstration program we
•began work on one of the major
[ problem areas to be studied tnis
Lyear. From January through
* June emphasis will be on foods
f and nutrition. The particular
group we will work in is the
vegetable-fruit group with our
study on foods that provide vita
min C.
We want every homemaker to
realize that the food her family
eats, influences the health of the
family more than any other fac
tor. The right food helps you
to be at your best in health and
vitality. Poor health is never
good economy.
Why did the planning com
mittee recommend that we study
foods that provide vitamin C?
Because a little survey pointed

up these facts. Six out of 10
homemakers did not prepare and
serve to their family daily, a
food high in vitamin C. Now in
our study from January through
June our objective is to have
homemakers know vitamin C
foods, why the body needs vita
min C, and ways to prepare and
serve these foods, so they will
change family food habits. Along
with this we will study the pro
duction of vitamin C foods in
the home vegetable garden.
Vitamins are a group of sub
stances usually found in foods
in small amounts. Our bodies
need them for growth and de
velopment. I am afraid that in
the minds of many people, vita
mins are not classified as food
nutrients. They think vitamins
are medicine that one purchases.
Food experts remind us that
in spite of all the advertising
you hear and read, it is not
too difficult to get the vitamins
you need from food.
Wc are studying that the ab
sence of a vitamin in sufficient
amounts can result in malnutri
tion and specific deficiency di
seases. Surveys repeatedly show
that vitamin V, or ascorbic acid,
is one of the vitamins that North
Carolinians most often fail to get
i in the recommended amounts.
Severe lack of vitamin C
causes a disease called scurvy.
If one does not get enough vita
min C, these symptoms 'usually
occur: general weakness, skin di
seases, soft tissues, hemorrhages
■ in body tissues, easy bruising,
gums spongy, ssre, swollen, bleed
and teeth may loosen. In babies,
lack of vitamin C will show in
improperly formed bones and the
babies hurt when handled.
Some good sources of vitamin
i C are: grapefruit or grapefruit
• juice, orange or orange juice, raw
strawberries, boccoli, cantaloupe,
I geen pepper and sweet red pep
per.
Some fair sources are: loma
■ toes and tomato juice, raw cab
i bage, white and sweet potatoes
| cooked in the jacket, brussel
sprouts, collards, garden cress,
kale, mustard greens, spinach,
turnip greens, honeydew melon,
tangerines or tangerine juice,
watermelon and asparagus tips.
Vitamin C is a fragile, delicate
substance. Because of its struc
ture, it is more subject to loss
than any other vitamin or min
eral. It is unstable to heat, sol
uble in water and reacts readily
with oxygen when exposed to
air. With this in mind vitamin
C foods must be prepared and
served immediately. Never let
them soak in water, cook too
long, or -left exposed to air.
May I remind you that all wo
men in the community are in
vited to the home demonstra
tion club meeting. The group
meets once each month. Either
the Home Economics Extension
Agent or trained project leaders
conduct the educational part of
the meeting. Moke it a habit to
attend regularly. Through this
method of Extension, we learn
and improve family living.
A call meeting of the Warren
Grove Home Demonstration club
will be held this afternoon
(Thursday) at the home of Mrs.
Mattie Bonner at 2:30 P. M.
