Until the beginning of the present war Canadians displayed little interest in nutrition. However, when figures were released revealing the fact that about 40 per cent, of the men volunteering for military service were rejected because they were below the health standard there was a sudden awakening. It was found that a great many of these rejections were not due to any physical disability but to poor health which could have been prevented by good eating habits. At the same time a survey disclosed that every day 200,000 Canadians are sick. In 1941 the Department of Pensions and National Health set up a branch called Nutrition Services to improve the nu trition in Canadian homes, committee was set un in each province under the provincial departments of health. Each committee was provided with a paid nutritionist Miss Mary Baldwin is the nutritionist for British Columbia. The air of the Provincial Nutrition committee is to establish a local committee in every city and town in the province. The local committee will endeavour to educate the citizens to choose and eat the foods .necessary for good health. The Department of Education in Victoria is also interested in the matter. Last year a survey of the - 'school lunch situation was undertaken by each in-f;:'spector of schools in the province. In many areas'hot f-V school lunches were introduced for the first time. -" This year the work is again being emphasized, par-alleling the work being done by nutrition comittees. Importance of Vitamins ... When Junior arrives home from school and yells: "Hey, Mom, I'm hungry!" yon know at once whatj to do about it Junior has "hollow hunger" and to remedy the situation all you need to do is fill him up. I But when Junior comes home irritable, listless and over-tired, vou. have a much more serious nrob- - " t - v - 1 lem. This is known-as "hidden , "hunger" and is not so easily recognized. But it is more important than Jr "hollow hunger." j "Hidden hunger" means a lack of foodstuffs! j which the body needs for building strong bones and teeth, for maintaining a supply of rich blood, for ! steady nerves, and for that alert, wide-awake feel-1 ' mg. 1 3?i A survey taken recently of the foods eaten by! Prince Rupert school children indicates that manv' of them must be suffering from "hidden hunger." ? . Other surveys 'show that the same condition exists if.:- all over Canada. What is the cause of "hidden huno-er"? Nntri. tionists say simply this: lack of sufficient vitamins and minerals in the diet. And by knowing the foods that contain vitamins and minerals in the largest quatities we are ready to tackle the problem. The most commonly deficient vitamins are A, B, B2, C. and D, and the minerals calcium and iron. Milk and cheese are excellent sources of calcium and vitamins A. Bl and B2. Milk is a good source of iron. Citrus fruits have a high content of vitamin C, and the whole grain cereals are a good source of vitamin Bl. By serving these foods every dav in liberal amounts food scientists say there would be happier, healthier and better-looking families.

First of all there was Lieutenant B. H. I , Langdon, who Is executive of ficer to the Navy show which is in town. Don Adams brought him up to the "Y" in the morninghe would do Just that when Mis. Woodslde and I were smothered in paint and looked like we had been dragged through a mangle backwards. However, for lack of outward charm, we summoned all the poise we had in stock and hope we got away with It. Lieut. Langdon is a Londoner but has been in this country for six or seven years. While In London he was manager for the huge cinema palace-cum-variety hall, the Trocadero, at the Elephant and Castle. Now the Elephant and Castle is a big bus, tiam and underground centre which takes its name from a very well known public house (pub) on that spot. The Trocadero is one of. If not the. largest movie house in London and, besides holding over five thousand persons, it has a m q on If ln f nriri r fstt Vr mV4K To undertake the program a Provincial Nutrition people are passionately fond of organ music. Here at this organ Quentin MacLean. B.B.C. organist and incidentally, cousin to Lieut. Langdon, gives regul THE DAILY NEWS j recitals of popular and classical j music. Very often too. the children s morning shows were j broadcast and It was a treat t. , hear the hundreds of chlldrcv voices singing all the papula-aongs with great justo and re markably good tune for the Londoner is bo:n to song. But al! his gets me away from Lieutenant Langdon who is a most personable genUeman with very blue English eyes and but here, this is getting out of hand. A little later in the day I me Lieutenant Eric Wilde who is :he musical director for the entire show. Eric is a Toronto buy but took his Bachelor of Music degree at the University o: Michigan. Just "before the wa. he spent four years workiiv with the DISC, television department I remember ths Just before I left some neighbor bought a television set and proud were they of It that ihy never again drew their loungi curtains, but left It to the fu view of all the neighbors. I con-; fess to having taken the odd , peek at It myself the newsreel ' were the most interesting part ;of it). Returning to jOanada ' Lieutenant Wilde was 'musical directo: for the Allan Young-Buckingham and WrLfley show-:over the C.B.C. as well as doing what he called "sustaining programs." These, he explained, are the non-commercial programs, those with no sponsors. Talkhi about his twenty-eight plere orchestra he grew most enthusi-Mtlc. sayfng that New York critics had told him it was the best pit orchestra they had ever he.i ri The orchestra is compos-j uuuUy of professional musicians and Is adapted to all types of music. The drummer. C.P.O. Harry Nicholson, has had vasf. ( xperle nee and Is an exoe ptlona'. man In his line. Then there Is the oboe player. C.P.O.

This one purpose must command our work, our minds and our hearts. tit & & We must not permit any scramble for private guin or individual selfish ends, to distract us from our main task. If we concentrate on seeking, individually or jointly, higher prices, higher pay or higher profits, we shall be diverting our attention from the main task at this critical time. We shall also endanger the stability of prices which we in Canada have achieved after great difiiculties-a stability that is essential to efficiency and fair icss in war, and to peacetime prosperity afterward. & & & Our young men are fighting for a Canada and a world in which all men can have faith, hope and security. Kach of them wants to come back to a jobor a farm with a future. We at home must keep secure for them a strong and stable foundation on which alone a post-war period of promise and achievement can be built.
