Laymen Joining, Too But the society hopes laymen will Join too. Membership dues are 112.50 annually. Students, interns and residents in, the professions mentioned above may enroll at $6.25 yearly. A brochure on mem bership said, in part: “We intend to open the windows of the world and let knowledge of nutrition flow through to every professional person to whom the public looks for guidance on the extremely vital matter of nutrition-and to every other jierson who wants to know more about nutrition.” The society feels, rightly, that physicians alone see enough patients every week (almost 40 million persons) to have an enormous in fluence on the eating habits of the nation if only the physicians' themselves are sufficiently informed and motivated to talk to people about their food choices. A major reason'for the problem, or let’s say, the opportunity, is that medical schools in the past have taught little nutrition. And, k for that matter, in all the world, relatively few people really know nutrition scientifically. That’s one reason faddists are able to write so many popular books and in some cases even medical doctors have presented theories that will CANADA TOUR As of mid-October, the supply situation in November is expected to look like this...

What Membership Will Include Membership in the Nutrition Today Society will include subscription to the magazine Nutrition Today. It is a handsomely-produced, color-printed publication with outstanding illustrations and writing. It may be a bit technical for some lay persons, but it is surprising if someone sin cerely seeks knowledge how well they can educate themselves if their sources of information are valid. The society also plans a nutrition information service for press, radio, and television which hopefully will increase the reliability of nutrition information reaching the public. The already-established Nutri tion Today teaching aid program will assist educators. An outstanding Board of Directors will adminster the society’s efforts. I wish them well.
