Shyrock, chairman of the county nutrition council. These district chairmen, each of whom has been assigned to a specific area, will in turn appoint local chair- men in every community to carry out the actual organization of the classes. “It is our aim,” said Miss Shyrock, “to establish a class in every com- munity for homemakers and others interested in learning how to eat for health.” The classes will supplement the ed Cross courses in nutrition and will be taught largely by volunteers who have taken the courses previous- ly. Training will be provided in the proper selection and preparation of nutritional foods as a means of | bringing about better eating habits and improving health. Similar classes are being formed in every part of the country as a part of the national health program, which is considered essential to the success of the war effort. Theme of the na- tional campaign is “U. S. Needs Us Strong—Eat Nutritional Food.” Some of the district chaimen have already have already selected local chairmen and the classes will be launched as soon as possible. The nutrition course will consist of six lessons, each lesson requiring one and one-half hours of study. The district chairmen from this sec- tion and the areas which they will direct the organization of classes is as follows: Mrs. Helen Foreman of Bakerton— Bakerton, St. Benedict, Spangler, Barnesboro, Emeigh, Garman, All- port, Carrolltown, Patton, Hastings, Dry Run, Nicktown and Marsteller.
