Germans Go Hillbilly To Pickin’ And Singin’ Os U. S. Mountaineer-Soldiers’ String Band ULM, Germany American mu»ic, : country stylo, is captivating German audiences who tap their toes to the j tunes of the U. S. Army’s Roadside' Ramblers. Eight fighting men of the Array’s Ninth Infantry Division drop their rifles after work and turn to guitao i pisks and fiddle bows to enter tula their buddies and fascinated Ifciro-1 psrnis. ' A prize-winning hillbilly band whioh plays benefits for German orphanages | and hospitals as well as U. S. Service- j men’s Clubs, the group is receiving high praise in the German press. The bandleader, Private First Class' Harry L. Reckhart of (Route 1) San dy Lake, Pa., thinks he knows why listeners unacquainted with American folk music are among its most avid fans. “Music is an informational langu age,” he says. “Although nurst Ger mans do 11,’t understand the words, the tempo and melody of America*! folk songs are just as novel to them as German folk sorsgs are to us in Amer ica.” The Ramblers started playing to gether while on field training exor cises. During ,the twilight hours af ter the day’s training, they would en tertain buddies. J The informal sessions were eon— tinued when the troops returned to, garrison.

LONNIE HARRELL Rocky Hock Home Demonstration Club I^^ Have you noticed that new, attrac tive ranch style bungalow located next to Walter Miller’s Store on Highway 32 north? Well, take another look, because that is the home of an en thusiastic Rocky Hock Home Demon stration Club member. In Case you haven’t guessed, I am referring to Mr. and Mrs. Rufus ] White’s new home. Mrs. White is an energetic member of the Rocky Hock Club and one of whom we are quite proud! I The house was designed and plan-: ned throughout by Mr. and Mrs. | White. It consists of six lovely rooms; kitchen, dinette, living room, three bedrooms, bath and central heating hall, with textilite wall and ceiling, and hardwood floors. The convenient arrangement is designed for both time and labor-saving in housekeeping. Mrs. White has applied many ideas and suggestions from the home agents and their demonstrations into the planning, building, and operation of her home and household. After having planned the house they likewise did most of the construction work, engaging help only for those things which required a professional touch. We will all agree that thgir finished work is worthy of much praise. Since completing their home, they have had the yard landscaped, which adds much to the beauty of their lot. Some of the shrubbery isn’t familiar to us, and we are anxiously awaiting their first blossoms. Now, let’s meet the family. Mr. White is a logging contractor; and from what we see, he’s quite handy with a hammer and saw also. There are three daughters. Kay Frances is an “A” student, a very talented pia nist, and an active 4-H Club mem ber. Saundra is too young to be a 4-H Ckib member, but she is quite inter-j ested in her sister’s activities. She, too, is talented in music, both sisters | having won several music awards, j Rita, the youngest will begin school: next year. She is already a real help er around the house.

I HEALTH FOH ALL | The old belief that a pregnant wo man must eat for two has been large ly exploded. In modem pre-natal t care, the doctor keeps close watch ’ over his patient’s weight and diet. ■ This is particularly important because . she may he gaining weight and still . be undernourished. A well-balanced diet during preg . nancy is essential to the welfare of ! both mother and child. Moderation is . the watch word. A weight gain of . from 15 to 20 pounds is usually re ■ garded as best. It is sometimes more ■ important for the prospective mother to learn what not to eat than what ; she should eat. Some women have special problems and conditions that require individual : ized diets, but the average pregnant woman should have f*om 2,500 to 3,000 , calories a day. The diet should con tain one and a half pints of mikk; one; serving of citrus fruit or tomatoes, ' one of potatoes, ai least two of leafy 1 vegetables, some of which should be i raw; one serving of whole grain cereal ■ and four slices of bread with butter; one serving of meat or fish, or suck substitutes as beans, eggs, and cheese, and eggs and cheese three times a week. It is important to remember that all the necessary f<*ods must he pres ent in the diet to protect the health of both mother and baby. One im portant nutrient cannot be left out or reduced, or one increased at the ex pense of another, without upsetting SECTION ONE- the balance. . I Modem mothers an-e inclined to I laugh at old superstitions about eat ing during pregnancy, such as the be ■ lief that a baby would have a straw ’ berry mark if its mother were frus i trated in her longing for strawberries. • It’s nonsense, but it’s not a laughing ■ matter. To give her baby the mark . of glowing health, the mother will • eat sensibly, following closely the diet ; prescribed by her doctor. Net Frem the Sound Margery—What makes baby cry so, | mamma ?
