Policy have time for kids
What looks like the aftermath of `a raid on a school is really an
education for the students. Constable Wayne ''MUlfon ex-
plains some of the police procedure to Victoria School
Students at the O.P.P. station in Gode'r°ich. The children toured
the bu•rlding and were shown the jail and the identification
procedure the police use when they are arresting a person.
Each student received a fingerprint from his or her own hand
as a souvenir. Constable Moulton showed the children a film
that explains the equipment required and manner in which a
J search and rescue mission is conducted properly. (staff photo)
Nutrition not to� costly
even at today's prices
BY BILL DIMMICK
Canada has tralliec alt,"
been known as a 'moderate
-nation; a mediator of disputes,
a messenger boyof the great
powers. But moderation has
not been part of the nation's
eating habits lately.
Poor nutrition and over-
weight bodies are part of our
way of living, according to a
working paperaon the health of
Canadians, released in April,
by federal health minister Marc
LaLonde.
Canadians would do well to
remember " what the Ancient
Greek philosopher Socrates
said about nutritibn: "Other
men live to eat, while -I eat to
T
live."
Perhaps Socrates was a bit of
an extremist by putting proper
nutrition first, without regard
to flavor. Canadians are in a
position to moderate between
their present poor eating habits
and the wise old Greek's
position on food.
Nutrition can be achieved by
eating balanced meals in
proper amounts.People do not
have to rely on spartan dishes,
bland and unappetizing. Proper
food can taste good.
A sirloin steak, garnished
with mushrooms, a baked
potato with sour cream, and
chives, a tossed' salad with
French dressing and roll with
'butter is an accepted gourmet
treat. Add tomato juice and
milk and the meal is com-
pletely balanced nutritionally.,
The meal includes food Ifroni
each of the four basic food
groups. Steak is in the meat
group and the mushrooms
which contain few calories and
little nutrition, add to the meal
and make it taste better. The
salad, tomato juice antpotato
are the vegetable and fruit
group. The rciltis included with
bread and cereals.
Milk is in flits own category. It
does,,however, include the sour
cream and butter.. Ice cream for
dessert is also in this food
grouping.
These four .food groups are
accepted by most nutritionists
in ` North America.
A balance of the four groups
.should be eaten by people every
day. The best -time for people to
start forming proper eating
habits is when they are
children.
Eating patterns , are
established at an early age, ac-
cording to the Journal of the
I°► merican Diet Association. for
example, adults may reject
milk because they didn't
receive the warmth and
security they needed when they
were infants.
Milk, the first food people
have, is connected in people's
minds with the warinth and
security they craved,
• People who overindulge in
sweets and candies may have
received them as rewards for
being good and had them
-withheld for being bad when
they were children.
These people don't look at
the nutritional value of sweets
and candies as they connect the
foods only with behavior.
wondering what foods to eat.
Mothers can use a guideline
suggested by the National
_Dairy Council of the United
States when planning meals for
their children. '
Children should drink, tliree
br.more glasses of milk per day
or the equivalent value found
in foods such as, cheese, ice
cream and cream.' Fluid milk
has fewer fats and car-
bohydrates than other foods.
Two or more portions of
meat should ,be served. Beef,
pork, poultry and fish are in
cluded in the meat group. Eggs,
nuts, and beans are meat sub-
stitutes. , •
The way mom serves dinner
can affect the eating habits of
her ,ehildrent "• concludes a
psychologist• in the Nutrition
News. Dietary education can.
not be successful if a child fails
to receive balanced meals.
Child're'n rely on their
mother's judgements when
Vegetables and fruits are
divided ,into a few sub -groups.
Out of the four or more ser -e
vings of . vegetables people
should eat every day, one -
should be of citrus fruit and
one of a dark green or an
orange vegetable. ,
Four or more servings of
bread and cereals should be
served daily. This food group
includes rice, oatmeal,
macaroni and spaghetti, bread
and rolls.
Nutrients in these foods sup-
ply people wits :substances they
need t�. grow. when they 'are
young, and keep 'healthy when
they are matured.
Protein ,is a necessary
nutrient found in every cell of t
person's, body. It 'is used for
building new cells to . replace
those which are destroyed.
Protein -is in foods belonging to
°the meat group and the milk
group. People get most of the
protein from eating these foods.
It is also found in smaller
amounts in the other two food
groups, although some typ s of
•
beans are high in protein con- •
tent:.
Replacing new cells is impor-'
tant, but if a person does not
get enough foods which supply
energy, his body will burn
proteans and retard growth •of
new cells.' -,Foods containing
carbohydrate and fats are
vital to a balanced diet also.
Starch and sugar . are the
sources of carbohydrates. They
are in vegetables fruits, breads
.and cereals. Most meats con-
tain none and milk contains
.some.
Fats and oils are contained
mostly in meats, seeds and
nuts. Fats and carbohydrates
should be limited isn a person's
diet. When not burned for
energy,' they turn into fat which
tends to collect around
waistlines.
Minerals, contained in
almost all foods, work as
regulators to keep bodily func-
tions operating. • normally.
Calcium aids 'in clotting blood,
keeping . the heart be ting,
making muscles .and ' nerves
work and regulating the useof
other minerals. Phosphorous
helps convert fats and car-
bohydrates to energy. - Iron is
important to red blood cells for
carrying iron. Copper assists
formation of compounds in red
blood cells. Iodine helps con-
trol the rate at which the body
uses energy.•
