All the scientific evidence avail- ible to date strongly points to the tact that weight control can be I practical and effective point of ittack on the diabetes problem in,- ihis country. Dr. James M. Hund- lcy of the National Institutes of Health, emphasized in I talk be- fore the American Dietetic Assoc- mtililnyesterdayls column. the hered- ity factor was discussed. Dr. Hund- ley pointed out that whille there is a tendency for diabetes to run in families, it doesn't seem to be the
primary explanation of the large k
diabetic problem in this country.
Studies reveal that high fat diets may be a causative factor in diabetes, the scientist reported. 'Thls is a ticularly important possibility in this country. since calories front fat in the typical diet have been Increasing steadily to the point wher about 40 per cent of the calorii w come from rat," Dr. I-Iundley "stated-
when fats became scarce in European countries during the war, the incident and severity of dish- etes declined remarkably. Not nnly was the dietary fat lowered but also I loss in body weight nccurred. Whether the improve- ment in diabetes is due to the loss of body weight or to the lowered fat in the diet is not definitely known. the scientist said. How- ever, he emphasized, the fact is hat approximately 80 per cent of

to twelve pound undrawn goose or a six to nine and I half pound eviscerated one. The stuffed bird should be placed on a rack in the roaster with one cup of boiling water added and the pan covered tightly. After cooking for one hour the water and fat should be poured off and the cover left off for the rest of the roasting time.
Many French recipe books ed! for chestnut stuffing with goose but lilberts may be used instead- in either case at least one pound of nuts should be added to the basic stuffing. Potato. apple and apricot stuffings are all good with goose and marjoram and sage are appropriate seasonings to sue. If the inside of the goose is rubbed with lemon and salt before stuf- fing, it is sure to be remembe vd with pleasure.
For the small family the Con- sumer Section suggests a young duck or two as something differ- ent and hearty to serve for Christ- mas dinner. The skin is white and tender and the flesh underneath is dark, rich and flavorful. Ducks are quite fat so no basting is need- ed-in fact after the first hour of cooking the fat and the water in the pan should be poured off. the same as with goose. A 325 deg. F. oven is recommended and the stuf- fed duck should be placed breast up on a rack in the roaster with one cup boiling water added. It will take about two and I half hours or about 40 minutes per pound to cook a four pound evin- cerated duck. The flavor will im- prove if the cooked bird is allowed to stand awhile after cooking so it should be taken out of the oven I little ahead of mealtime and kept warm until it is put on the table. Stuffings that go with duck are many and varied but the semi- tart, semi-sweet flavors of fruit
the diabetics in the United States are or have been overweight. Here is what our authority had to report about the role of exercise in both overweight and diabetes: "There is growing evidence and an increasing belief that physical activity, or lack of it, plays an important role in the beginning of overweight. At the moment. ll 1! not clear whether relative phy- sical lnactivity, so commonly ob- served among overweight children and adults is a cause or a con- sequence of overweight. However. Dr. llundley ex- plained, "lack of physical exer- cise in people predisposed to dia- betes could function as a two-edged 5sword. First, lack of exercise imlght contribute to overweight. Secondly, it is known that by ex- iercising muscle, sugar can be utilized without requiring insulin. lTherefore. people who are physic- ally inactive put a strain on their 'pancreas by requiring more insul- in to burn sugar than do individuals who get more exercise. This may may be a factor in the rising in- cident of diabetes with age. since one of the charcteristic effects of aging is a gradual decline in physical activity and a gradual re- placement of lcan body tissue by fat. ' There is every reason to believe that prevention of overweight is a most effective measure to reduce .the diabetic problem in the U. S. lDr. Hundley concluded.
Christmas Birds Take On
Garnislies For
Once more it is the time of greeting cards and carols and, of course, of wonderful things to eat -all sparkling with the gaiety of the season. And going along with the custom of dressing up every- thing for the holiday season the home economists of the Consumer Section, Canada Department of Agriculture have a few suggestions fnr decorating the Christmas bird and garnishing the platter.

stuffing such as apricot, cherry or orange and raisin, seem to com- bine especially well with this rich meat. A stuffing highly recom- mended by some duck lovers con- sists simply of quartered apples and onions. and another one of just chopped onions and celery. Well - seasoned mashed potatoes make a good basis for duck stuf- fing and a combination of sauerk- raut, hopped celery and bread crumbs is good,too. Basil. rose- mary or terragon are the season- ings suggested by the Consumer Section for use with duck.

For another attractive tiimmlng raw cranberries can be threaded together with string, then arrang- ed over the bird and in the ce- vices around the legs. With a few sprigs of parsley this simple gar- nlsh'ls very often all that is want- ed. especially if the platter is small.
If I large platter is used. there will probably be plenty of room on it for a fruit or vegetable gar- nish around the bird. Raw 'cran- berry and apple relish in precook- ed unpeeled apple cups migh the used or the cups may be filled with cranberry sauce or red cur- rent jelly. As for the vegetable it should be one that is easy to serve, such as brocoli.

In Germany ,most middle class families (incomes of under 3240 a month) have a putz- frau come in to do the heavy cleaning once a week, usually on Fridays. She gets 25 cents an hour. Fulltime maids in Germany run from 324 to 531 a month. A clean- ing woman gets 35 to 40 cents an hour in England. In France it's 45 cents an hour; in Italy. 25 cents an hour.
Even in Communist Yugoslavia -which banned maids as a capital- ist evil after the war household servants are popular again. Com- munist leaders themselves broke the ice. Most Yugoslav families with an income of more than 5180 I month have a maid. The cost is 325 to 330 a month. i

NUTRITIONAL VALUE
Its best feature, apart from in- creased nutritional value, is that it is not expensive.
Miss Trerice said the house- holder can identify enriched bread only by the label on the wrapper for its appearance, flavor and tex- ture is no different from the un- enriched.
Nutritionally. however, it adds iron and calcium to the diet.
In Newfoundland. where it was first introduced in 1944, bread en- richment is compulsory. In can- ada's other nine provinces it is op- tlonal but health authorities esti- mate 90 per cent of the bakeries use enriched flour for bread. rolls. muffins and fancy breads. miss Trerlce said.
Most bread, all-purpose and pas- try flours sold in packages are also enriched.
