pare wholesome meals, with special
emphasis being put on the im
portance of storing, preparing and
cooking foods in such a way that

served as well as preventing waste
of food.
The Halifax County Nutrition
Committee has joined in the move
ment and an intensive campaign
will be waged in efforts to reach
every housewife in the county with
information about the importance
of planning the family meals.

'•KEEP YOUR EYES
AND EARS OPEN”
%
Since our nation went into the
war, we have had before us from
day to day nutrition ideas and sug
gestions, and yet there is work to
do. During the month of Septem
ber your Nation, State and Coun
'Ty are putting especial emphasis
on Better War-time Meals—Just
what do the “Basic 7” foods do
for you?
Food has three big jobs, name
' 1. To provide energy and heat,
so that we can breathe and walk,
work and play.
2. To build, maintain and re
pair oUr muscles, bones, skin and
toternal organs; repairing the
. xtear and tear on the bodies of
adults, helping children grow big
1 and strong.
3. To keep our bodies regulated
■ and running smoothly by helping
Ijjsar food to digest properly,
making sure we get tlje most good
from the air we breathe, and that
our bodies give off proper internal
secretions to regulate our bodies,
making our heart pump the blood
to every section of our bodies.
Thus helping all of our organs to
function properly.
Eat some food from -each group
of the Seven Basic groups each
day, and this makes it so simple
to be sure to get what we need.

Have a Coca-Cola=Let’s go places
... or refreshment joins the family picnic
Whether it’s a jaunt in the country or a gathering in a garden, guests are
sure to cluster ’round the spot where ice-cold Coca-Cola is served. Have a
“Coke” means the party is beginning on a note of good fellowship. And how
good Coca-Cola tastes with the simplest food! With a supply of Coca-Cola
in the home refrigerator, your friends and neighbors are always sure of the
pause that refreshes. It’s a symbol of welcome at home and overseas.
