Letter To The Editor
Reader Says He’s
Never Seen Moose Egg
Dear Mr. Rivers:
In scanning through your pa
per of Thursday, April 7, I
came across a column headed
“Moose Egg Hunt Easter Sun
day”. Needless to say, this was
quite startling. Having spent
two years in Alaska where I
saw several moose, I was never
fortunate enough to see a moose
egg on Easter Sunday or any
other Sunday. Perhaps you
could describe these eggs for
me. If they have become so
common in Watauga County
that small children can hunt
for them without fear of being
attacked by cow moose guard
ing their eggs, can you give me
some idea when the open sea
son on bull moose will begin?
Yours truly,
L. A. Heavrin, U.D.

Of Food Faddism
(Editor’s Note: Miss Gilbert
is executive director of the
Burlington - Durham - Raleigh
area Dairy Council and a mem
ber of the N. C. Dairy Industry
Committee. A purpose of the
committee is to promote good
health by pointing out the
nutritional values of mtii: and
dairy foods.)
BY MARGIE GILBERT
Dieters beware! Don’t be
taken in by food faddism and
nutritional quackery.
Too often today, a person
with a serious weight problem
will listen to the “expert” who
dishes out advice over the
backyard fence. And just as
often, the result of such advice
is more damaging to the per
son’s health than the problem
it is supposed to solve.
For example, if someone tells
you you’ll regain that girlish
figure by simply not eating a
particular food, you’re likely to
remain just as overweight as
ever and at the same time be
deprived of some important
food nutrients.
You may be surprised to
learn that no single food is
fattening. It is the diet as a
whole that is fattening, or
slimming, or maintaining, ac
cording to the amount of food
taken in the total diet and the
amount of energy you expend.
Why are milk and dairy foods
in the diet important to weight
control? The answer is simple:
For the same reasons milk is
recommended in everyone’s
diet Milk is important for cal
cium, riboflavin and protein.
Milk and dairy foods are one
of the four food groups recom
mended for everyone in the
“Guide to Good Eating."
Since no food by itself has all
the nutrients required for good
health, those foods which pro
vide generous amounts of nutri
ents, yet moderate amounts of
calories, should be included in
the weight-watching diet Milk
is such a food.
The normal healthy person
may attain and maintain the
desired weight by eating every
day foods, such as milk, cheese,
meats, eggs, fruits, vegetables,
cereals, bread and butter. The
idea, then, is to reduce the in
take' of foods which do not, con
tribute significantly to the
nutrient requirements,
Of course, it’s important to
cut down on those second help
ings. -
Before starting a weight re
duction program, unless you
only want to lose a few pounds,
consult your physician. He will
help you select a well-balanced
diet that will - take off those
extra pounds while providing,
all the required food nutrients.
Here are a few basic rules
for using the “Food Way to
Weight Reduction”:
—Be serious about trimming
the figure.
—Realize that it took time , to
put pounds on, and that it win
take time to shed them.
—Have the courage to stick
