ELILEN’S DIARY

Weather Nice And Clear Spring Will Soon Be Here

This was the Monday morning the sparrows kept to the shelter of eavés’ nooks - and we coming out early to read the thermomet- er at the house- corner were amazed, and adjusting glasses better to be sure. exclaimed to the pup who had followed us, “This is the coldest yet!” And

, bright and clear and beautiful the

mew day was.

And the sun opening the gray easements of morning. to look out on the vales and dales of the countryside, noted with a twink- le the grounded machines about,

which were a first concern of the’

.

farmers.

And notwithstanding the pre- cautions which had given these extra protection through the night. there was discovered too the-odd tap in the out - build- ings that refused to give out the usual crystal flow.

And certain ones of us, voiced a longing for the ‘‘dear dead days.’ when a simpler and less- complicated way of life, gave us well-shod horses; a yard-pump, and a beaten path down a de- cline of field which led the cow-kind once and the horses twice daily to drink at the stream.

What matter if for the needs of the house, that winter - pump must be sometimes primed? And if our kitchen-conveniences and we counted ourselves blest with them! - consisted of an an- cient iron sink. a.pail or two of water on the neighboring shelf with a much - used dipper hang- ing near, we could at least, as Fames recalled at breakfast “Lav@bur heacis on our pillows at night in content, and sleep in peace unti! morning’ without disturbing thought of the water- lines below or above ground or in building being caught in the steely grip of the frost.

We yearned, though only brief- ly. Presently with a measure of warm persuasion, the tractor chugged off about its missions, the valiant littl etruck puffed and chuckled and was once more pressed into service. And with the

sings to us sweet tunes of auld years, any caught taps out about were soon pulsing freely again. |

The sun smiled, and the smok- es were coral-tinted that billowed in miniature clouds above the winter-roofs then.

And again, happ. to have the

clean bright weather continue, though conceding the buildings would be considerably warmer if | there were drifts of snow about, them, the farmers followed their | usual orderly routine.

A light wind roamed the hill- sides. And there too on a drab | meadow, we saw the sheep qome| from a far barn to forage. Were | they on‘ their way to these yards of home, scenting perhaps a storm in the offing?. . .But the stinset this evening spread rich j}and glorious colors. And now | stars sparkle with a brilliancy not unlike those of the wonder- -skies of December. Granddau- ghter has come from the house across the lane to join this household, her present interest a| book.

“What are you reading?” Ja- mes queries dropping his own

“Anne of Windy Poplars-I ve read it before’ she replies

“Then put it away,.”’ James smiles fondly at this one grand- daughter of ours,’ and like old Mr. . .used ‘to say, ‘Let's have} ourselves a bit of a chat!”

Potatoes Are Not Fattening

| As Written By

Ladies and Gents—there is no need to go on that potato diet which you think is fattening. This letter written by Dr. L.B. Pett, Chief, Nutrition Division Depart- ment of National Health and Welfare declares that ‘Potatoes are not fattening.” ees

Eating a variety of foods such as recommended by Canada's Food Rules is the only assurance of adequate nutrition. Therefore, no one food can be called indis- pensable or be given the title of being the most important food in the diet. Eut I can answer in one sentence the question implied in the title of this talk. The place of potatoes in our Canadian diet is simply that they should be eat- en every day. by everyone

This statement means that po tatoes share with milk, tomatoes, other vegetables. meats the job of keeping us alive and well. Each of these foods is mentioned in Canada’s Food Rul- es. and has a special contribution

| to make to health when eaten in

conjunction with all the others.

Great harm has been done to the public themselvés, as wel] as to the potato industry by the common fallacy that ‘potatoes are fattening."’ We all know that many people have become ‘‘ca- lorie conscious’’ and have avoid- ed eating valuable foods like bread and_.potatoes. Yet these same people continue to eat foods like chocolate and pie.

No food is fattening. in itself, only in the way it is used. All foods provide calories, but a gain in weight results. only when the total diet supplies more calories than the body is using up in ac- tivity. There is a balance be- tween f intake and energy expendiiye with obesity as the potential“~penalty, regardless of what foods are eaten. In other words, it is not the kind of food but the amount of all food eaten, in relation to activity.

Fat folks should stop shuddering |

at the sight of‘ good foods like bread and potatoes. It would be better to take a good look at that cookies,

or ice cream sundae. Sugar is

just pure calories while potatoes | have additional food values that | be vital to life itself. Of;

may course second helpings of many foods are likely to be a mistake. That is where activity or exer- cise come into the picture: if you -are active enough to use up all the energy value, then you may need those second helpings and those sweet foods.

These very people who tell you that they never eat potatoes or bread may go to.a cocktail

| party and eat rich little mor- i sels that provide a hundred ca-

lories before you even taste it. Or they may get a scoop of ice cream on their pie—"’ just a tiny scoop, can't have very many ca- lories.”” Actually, it may have twice as many calories as the

| potato had that they passed by.

And other’ people. both men and women, pass up their potatoes only to. nibble at peanuts, uniil suddenly the peanut dish is emp ty—and peanuts ‘tally up about 5 calories for each one. Other peo- ple avoid their bread and pota- toes, but are tempted to take a chocolate later ‘on. “Just one, mind you. Surely that little choco- late could not bother their. fi- gure like that big starchy po- tato.”” Actually, one chocolate usually has more calories in it than a fair - sized potato. And they are empty calories—just empty sugar and fat calories, not providing other nutritional va- lues. Pie, doughnuts, cookies and many other, foods need this sec- ond look before you eat,

Dr. L. B. Pett -

Therein lies the danger of many foods—they do not carry enough other nutritional values with their calories. This danger becomes acute as we grow older, because

more minerals and vitamins. but fewer and fewer calories. And yet we keep on with the same food habits and even the same appetite just’ when we should be judging our calories by the company they keep—do they have extra nutritional values? - After the age of 40 every bite you eat should include protective nutrients in addition to any calories it may provide

Potatoes contain quite a lot | of other food value than calories. Vitamin C or ascorbic acid. vi tamin BI! or Thiamine, iron and other minerals are all present in raw potatoes

I believe that in the past po tatoes have saved many Cana- dians from scurvy Twenty years ago potatoes. in the raw form. contributed half of all the vitamin C in Canadian food supplies—much more than the entire tomato crop and im-

rted citrus fruits. Unfortunate- ly much of this precious food va- lue was lost by over-cooking in too much water, and then stor- ing and even recooking. But even in’ this final state a few. milli- grams of vitamin C must have remained. and the large quanti- ties eaten by poorer families gave enough to avoid scurvy Scurvy is not common in Can- ada. but for the last 400 years ‘it has never been very far from heing our most serious nutritional problem

In_ 1535 Jacques Cartier had a dreadful. winter of scurvy in the Montreal area. described in the | following words:

“In the month of December. . . .there were dead above 530 And albeit we had driven them from us, the said unknown sick- ness..began to spread _itselfe. amongst us after the strangest sort that ever was eyther heard of or seene, insomuch as some did lose all their strength then did their legges swel.

Oth-

ted with spots of blood of a purple coulour, their mouth became stincking. their gummes so rotten

In 1955, there were several hundred cases of scurvy in Can- ada, especially among babies, and a few cases among older people. They wére not as serious as in

in lemons and oranges and grape.

fruit in considerable amounts. Tomatoes, either fresh or ‘can- ned, are also good sources.

The one vegetable that is almost universally used in Canada is the potato, and to this we might add) turnips and also green vegetab-

quite a lot of victamin C. Note that I said in the raw state. Wat-! ler leaches out the} vitamins, and, heat gradually destroys it.

In our Canada’s Food Rules. which give an outline of a good diet, we are forced to mention citrus fruits, because people are very careless how they handle} vegetables. If potatoes or cab- | bage are cooked in too much! water, and for too long—as thev frequently are—then it is probable, that the cooking water contains! most of the vitamins and miner- | als. In fact.

SHERRY ANDERSON was born a “blue baby”. She had four defects in her heart which rob- bed her blood of the oxygen it needed. Her parents knew about the “blue baby” opera- tion, but they also knew it had not always been beneficial. \

Sherry was particularly fortunate because medical research had just developed a very efficient Heart Pump. This “pump” actually does the work of the heart during an opera- tion, allowing surgeons time to make complete repairs.
