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.• ced eating, essential: GODERICH :SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1974 —4 AGE Over ph/0 million names already on birshright petition rxr The One,, Million Name ,, Petition to give the same protection to the unborn child FIs provided for any other per- son is growing by leaps and ,,bounds.

All these nutrients are next to useless without vitamins. There are at least 14 vitamins that are needed to make'people healthy. Different foods provide different vitamins.
