Teacher Gives List
Of Food Essentials
"Texas people need more food,"
said Mrs. John O'Keefe in food's
class recently. "The diets of one-
half of the population, 3,360,000
are short on calcium, the main
mineral used in bone building.
One fourth are short in iron, es-
sential to red blood cells. Two
thirds are not fully protected by
vitamin A against nutritional
night blindness. One half are low
in vitamin B. that makes for good
appetites, a good digestion, good
nerve, and muscle tone. One half
are short on vitamin C, without
which a person may suffer from
bleeding gums, loose teeth, sore
joints, loss of weight and fatigue."
"Wliat can we do about the
food situation in 1940? We can
set up desirable standards toward
wh-eh all of us can work. In food
we can have something like the
Texas Food Standard which the
Texas A. & M. College Extension
Service has been using in 19 39."
"It reads that one needs daily
one quart of milk, one egg, one
serving of potatoes, one serving of
meat, one serving of green or
yellow vegetables, one serving of
other vegtables, one serving of
citrus fruit or tomatoes, one serv-
ing of other fruits, one serving
whole grain products, bread, but-
ter every meal, some sweets, dried
n^as and beans three times a week
and six to eight glasses of water
daily."
"For 3fif> days one needs 91
gallons milk, 30 dozen egars, 200
lbs, potatoes, 175 lbs meat and
fat for cooking, 20 lbs vegetables,
200 lbs. other vegetables, 100 lbs.
citrus fruits or tomatoes. 200 lbs.
of other fruits, ^70 lbs. grain pro-
ducts. 20 lbs. butter, 70 lbs. of
SWppfSi 3 k lbs. of dried beans."
Mrs. O'Keefe concluded "We
can teach our peonle to know what
foods thev noed because knowing
what is needed is the first sten
toward selection of proper foods."

Personality and individuality
hinge together, and friendliness,
the ability to enjoy people, grows
out of a personality that is'mo^e
conscious of others than of it-
self." said Mrs Gary Rimms jn her
review of the book "Discover
Your Personality" by Marv Mor-
gan. The points stressed by Mrs
Simms in review of the book were:
Make your ambitions come true
and second discover your hidden
abilities. "Haiopiness1 m this
world, when ft comes, comes in-
cidentally. Make it the object of
pursuit, and it leads us a wild
SOOS0 cheisG and it 176 v 0r at-
tained, Forept course!f hv hecom- '
ng more conscious of other peo-1
nle." quoted Mrs. Simms. Tn re-j
view of this hook. Mrs. Simms I
said in nart- The only way for a '
girl to handle men, or for a bo-v
to learn how to e-et pin7i<r with !
girls, is for both to go through a
Ing practice period of training,
where each successful skill in
petting along with neonle has been
learned fhroueh hard experience
plus intelligent judgment. Socially
speaking, everv man i" his own
ancestor and his own heir.
He makes his own futnrp and
inherits his own na«t. What be
does on great occasions depends j
nnon what he alreadv 's. and both!
depend sup011 the years of train-
in a: acquired in the social arenas
of life: the playground, the of-
fice. the shop, and park bench on
a mo on lie-lit night.
"It's Nice to Know People Like
You." written by Henry Walker
Henner was most antlv reviewed
by Mrs. Simms during the latter
part of the Istudv course period.
Quoting Heffner Mrs. Simms said.
"Strong personality has honesty,
poise, love, imagination, tolerance,
and loyalty. The following
thoughts were left Avith us: We
develon from within outward, and
we must combat self-conscious-
by forgetting oneself. Make the
mnct of pvery human exnerience.
It's the little things we do or say
that are instrumental ip molding
character. Tact is -a matter of
understanding the other person's
feeVn?-. and comes from a good
heart as well as from good taste.
Lite for most of us is made no, not
of great sacrifices or adventures,
'but of little things like smiles,
kindnesses, and friendly gestures
that signifv culture and under-
standing wherever the person may
If we want to be the sort of
person other people want to know,
there is only one we can 20 to for
a, mdel. the one being our Christ,
who lived an all around perfect
life.
