HEALTH TALK
WRITTEN BY DR. THEODORE B.
APPEL, SECRETARY OF
HEALTH
the so-called
the center of
Some while ago it was
calories; this as followed by vitamins.
You will note in all the literature
and conversation on those various
subjects little if anything’s said about
the joy of eating. It is all a question
{ of health. But even health has its
limitations,” states Dr. Theodore B.
| Appel, Secretary of Health.
{ “In making this statement
| is no desire to treat
| over-weight with undue levity. Phy-
sicians are in accord that a moderate
degree of over-weight is easily hand-
led before the age of thirty-five; and
that after that age definite over-
weight is associated with an increas-
ed death rate. Moreover, after mid-
dle age in many cases it represents
a real menace to health both because
of excess fat and the habits of living
that are responsibile for the fat in
the first instance.
“But it is one thing to become fan-
atical on some diet fad and quite an-
other to approach the subject of
food intake with a proper degree of
wisdom. The fact is that while vita-
mins and calories and balanced diets
all have their proper places in scien-
jce and in disease manifestations,
much of the individual concern de-
ped to these subjects by thousands
of reasonably healthy persons is
| largely a matter of waste effort.
| “Of course, extreme over-weight
calls for a diet to be prescribed by a
| physician who has made a study of
| the individual case. However, when
| there is merely a tendency to over-
| weight a modification of the average
{ normal diet usually is all that is re-
quired. This will involve eating
lightly of the fuel foods such as fats
| starches and sugars, but by nomeans
eliminating them; and concentrating
somewhat on the bulky foods. This
procedure, it will be noted, is not at
all involved, nor even spartan.
“The average person can let the
| balanced diet features, the vitamins
and the calories to the eminent scien-
tists who make proper use of them,
to the doctors in cases of individual
| over-weight, and to the false health
| propagandists who play them up for
what they can get out of them in
dollars and cents.
“The wide variety of foods avail-
able to the average Pennsylvanian is
sufficiently balanced to please the
most exacting scientists and contains
all the vitamins that even a fanatical
laboratory man would insist upon.
“In short, eating is one of the great
joys. Barring illness or downright
over-weight it need not become what
it has become in many homes, name-
ly, a painful rite. Be balanced on
diet and in other food fads also.”

Gratitude
A man in the “Near” East who had
quite a reputation as a skinflint lost
his pocketbook a while ago, with
$200 in cash in it. He put an adver-
tisement in the “Lost” column in
the paper but a month elapsed and
he had heard nothing on the sub-
ject. He had about given up all
hope of ever seeing his $200 again
when a farmer came in and returned
the pocketbook. The skinflint looked
in the pocketbook and found the
money was all safe. The farmer
thought perhaps the capitalist might
give him a slight reward. On the
conrtary the skinflint gave him a
sour look and said: “The money's all
here—but where's the interest?’

Library Service In
Lancaster County

Do you know what Lancaster
County’s present library service is?
The A. Herr Smith Public Library
on N. Duke Street, in Lancaster, is
carrying on a limited service to the
county; in Columbia, Marietta and
Elizabethtown there are branch li-
braries, run by the generous efforts
of volunteers; in 43 other locations in
the county there are ‘deposit sta-
tions”’—that is, schools, stores, etc.,
where books are brought for local |
distribution. At first reading this
sounds fine, but the system creaks
and groans under its burden of in-
adequacy. The distribution and col-
lection of books is entirely a haphaz-
ard affair, with no definite time of
distributing and collecting, and no
person definitely responsible. At pre
sent, Miss Critchfield, head librarian
of A. Herr Smith does what she can
on county library service; now and
then an interested person connected
with a deposit station brings in books
for exchange; but Lancaster County
covers a great many miles, and reg-
ular, adequate library service under
these conditions is impossible. It is
the usual, rather than the exception-
al case for books to be stranded the
better part of a year in the same de-
posit station.
One of the most important services
of a public library is helping the
children with books that supplement
school work; what of the rural child
under a county system as meager as
ours? Lancaster County School Sys-
tem is not a standardized one—one
township may have an entirely dif-
ferent set of text books from its
neighboring township; some schools
are favored with adequate school li-
braries, others’ have none. It is la-
mentable but true that the school
still using text books published in
1903 is the one with no library of its
own. The scarcity of school books
may keenly affect the rural child,
vet no library is within reach.
This is the actual county picture—
what would be the idea? The goal
towards which we should work is
that of a county book truck, a min-
iature library on wheels, travelling
thru the county on schedule, a train-
ed librarian in charge, distributing
and collecting books. Collections
would be placed in every village in
the county, in every crossroads store
Books would be within easy reach
of everyone, young or old—books of
all kinds—stories, histories, hand-
crafts, biographies. The librarian
would travel about keeping in |
stant touch with each community,
shifting books from one place to an-
other, keeping the collections fresh
and attractive.
This is not an imaginative dream
—in a number of progressive states
the book truck is a reality. 32 of
our 48 states take care of county lib-
rary service thru taxation, a certain
small percentage of tax money being

rary appropriation, hence lLancaster’s |
county library is as poor as |
is. This is not the best time to
mention increasing taxes, yet an ade-
quate library tax would cost the
average family less than the price
of one good book a year.
What can we do to help make the
dream a reality? Spread the idea of
county book service—talk to your
county commissioners about it—get
your neighbors to talk about it, and
tell them to tell your county com-
missioners they want county book
service.

county library service, write to:

from childhood was a love of the sea. As a newspaper man in the
Atlantic coast cities, he made friends with waterfront characters. retired
masters, Bedford moss-back and hardened bully-boys of steel and steam.
His imagination fired by the stories he heard, he did some sailing on his
own account. Then the war claimed him and after his return from France,
he began writing sea stories for radio. He has been writing them now
for more than four years. They form the Cape Diamond Light program

AN
IMPORTANT
NEW NOTE IN
FORMAL
DINNER
FROCKS

WEVE been treated to a good-
ly number of original crea-
tions this season but none quite so
new as the formal frock which
covers one’s shoulders, and either
features an extremely low back
decolletage, or else demurely cov-
ers one up. These frocks may be
worn to afternoon social gather
ings and also for an evening date
of more formal proportions. A tiny
hat is always ensembled with the
dinner gown . . . and a hit of veil
adds a welcome touch.
Satin or velvet is usually chosen
for these long, graceful gowns sie
velvet works in particularly well
with the mermaid silhouette as
shown in the frock illustrated. A
slenderizing silhouette, one that
lends grace and charm to its wear-
€T, 1t is receiving its full share of
popular approval. The width at
the shoulders is much softer this
year than in previous seasons . . .
