ity memorial hall. "The presi-
dent, Mrs. Victor Emerson,

happened to the resolution re-
cently sent him by Whitechurch

gramme. At present there is
not enough money to cover this

The topic. "Too many
• square meals make too many
round people" , was discussed
by Mrs. Victor Emerson, who
showed that good food is im-
portant for every member of the
family. It makes a ,difference
because it satisfies energy,
growth and repair regulation
and maintenance of health; the
reasons for milk and fruit, veg-
etables, whole grain cereals,
meat and vitamin D. A sample
menu was given which, if
followed, will not'produce
round bodies. She concluded
with a 'written contest.
