Jan Proper Nutrition for Health and Morale Vital Part of National Defense Effort By Ethel Norton, B.S., M.A Health Director, Central Y. W. C.A., New York The success of the defense effort depends not only on increased pro duction but also on improving in dividual health and morale. The average worker throughout the country loses ten work days each year because of illness. This is an enormous economic loss to industry as most of this time is lost because" of common colds or other ailments which can be pre vented by following simple health rules. ' ' Faulty nutrition, lack of daily exercise and fresh air are respon sible for many of these ills. The Selective Service has brought to light the high percentage of young men with poor teeth arid other physical defects due in great meas ure to inadequate of faulty diet. The Deputy Director of the Selec tive Service System reported at the National Nutrition Conference held in May, 1941, that thirty-eight per cent of the young men were found to be unfit for general military service. This means that just as many young women in the same age group are below par physically and unfortunately the percentage of physical disability increases in direct ratio to age. The United States has the high est standard of living in the world yet the great majority of the peo ple are not getting the proper foods. The. result is preventable illness, towered morale and a low level of community health. The cost of foods has little or no rela tion to their health-building prop erties. It is a matter of choice and preparation of foods, yet the aver age diet is deficient in foods with the correct amount of vitamins and mtherats for health. It is a sad commentary that many young men have been introduced to a varied diet in the army for the first time in their lives though they may have come1 from localities where vege tables and fruits were cheap and j?'-'.i.V..; Every individual must have six" essential vitamins daily and cer tain minerals such as calcium, iron and phosnhorus. These six vita mins, A, Bi. B, C, D. and PP. and the minerals, work hand-in-hand to keep the body in health. The modern way of insuring proper nutrition is a supplementary ' diet of vitamin and mineral concentrate Recent Bride !

Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham reside in Ponti ac, Mich. ANGEL HOSPITAL Mrs. Jack Hall of Highlands, is doing well following an operation for appendicitis.

Vic tims of serious nutrition deficien cies should consult a physician, of course, but the normal adult can keep well and in health with a daily diet which includes one pint of milk, one egg in some form, one serving of meat or cheese, two or three servings of vegetables,, two or three servings of fruits, one serving of whole grain cereal, fortified bread, butter, and six to eight glasses of water and other fluids. The supplementary vitamin and mineral diet is by way of addi tional health insurance. Good posture and daily exercise to keep the body in condition are possible for every man and woman. Men are learning the advantage of daily exercise in the army. Women can go to their local Y- W C. A. and not only learn to do simple exercises but also get a physical check-up by Y W C.
