AN EDITORIAL WOMEN AND NEWSPAPERS Women are eager and careful readers of newspapers. Mothers need to know what is going on in their communities and around the world, and they read newspapers to keep fully informed. The same applies to business, professional, working and all other women. Surveys of newspaper reading show women read newspapers for information, education, fashion trends, prices, where to buy, entertainment, restaurants, current events, social affairs, editorial opinion, literature, culture, and a host of other good reasons. There is no mystery about this, because newspapers more and more are being written for women and by women. More attention is being given by newspapers to their needs, especially young wives with families and young working women who need and appreciate new ideas, new products, helps for home and family, ways to live enjoyably, ways to save money, home decorating ideas and suggestions for happier family living. Newspapers are recognizing the need to meet the changing information needs that women face in the future.

Nutritional Labeling

By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent Food manufacturers are encouraged to label foods for their nutrient content in a new program proposed by the Food and Drug Administration. The nutritional labeling program is voluntary. If the program is implemented, the homemaker can learn the nutritive value of a serving of food by reading the label. The nutritional labeling program provides a convenient source of nutritional information but the question is whether or not the homemaker will take the time to read the labels. Grocery shopping is an increasing complex adventure and reading and comparing labels is time consuming. The Food and Drug Administration has set down guidelines for nutritional labeling. The label must express the size of a serving in common language, the amount of food energy (calories) and the number of grams of protein, fat and carbohydrate. Several other nutrients are listed on the label also: vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacW, vitamin C, calcium and iron. These nutrients are listed according to the percentage of the recommended daily allowance that one serving would supply. Homemakers need to be better informed on nutrition and the nutrient needs of her family. The nutritional labeling program hopes to accomplish this goal. But perhaps the system is getting too complicated. Perhaps we need to work to make all homemakers aware of the basic four food groups. If she plans her meals so that her family gets two servings of meat, four servings of fruits and vegetables, two, three, or four servings from the milk group depending upon their ages, and four servings of breads and cereals each day she has the basis of a good diet. To make the nutritional labeling program work, read your food labels. Regardless of how good the label is, it is useless if it is not read. 4 Local Homemaker Honored We have many excellent cooks in our community and one of them recently received an award from Better Homes and Gardens.
