r A Pare Six THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Food Sense—^Not Nonsense Thursday, November 18,1954 BE=saEmM3aasa==ss:^MMa Within Reach —Health at the Start Within reach of practically all babies is good health and a wA developed body—truly one of the most precious endowments parents can give. Such a start in life is a family affair. The baby’s health at birth it affected by food habits—its family's food habits. The mother’s long* time food likes and dislikes, in her parent’s home and how she cooks to please her husband, all affect her and her unborn child, although pos* sibly differently. Science holds out a bright hope for parents. Mothers who have ex cellent or good diets during pregnancy—and before pregnancy—have good prospects for bouncing, healthy baby, one that is well developed. Getting ready for baby—particularly the first one—is a big event. A most important part is to choose an adequate diet, one which supplies enough of each needed nutrient. Science is finding that diet in the first months of pregnancy—and even before—may have a profound effect on the developing child. A mother-in-waiting adjusts her food needs under the direction of her doctor. While her demands for calories will increase only moder ately, her need for protein and calcium will rise sharply. Requirements for vitamin C and the B vitamins—thiamine, riboflavin and niacin— almost double. To take care of these changes, she will want to eat plenty of meat, eggs, and dairy products. She will almost double the quantity of fruits and vegetables. Fortunately, inexpensive foods, such as potatoes and enriched bread are protective ones. According to a study made at the University of Iowa of diets of expectant mothers from modest income groups, enriched bread prevented deficiencies of two B vitamins—riboflavin and niacin — and iron, and supplied substantial quantities of protein and calcium. The study also revealed that potatoes, popular with this group, fur nished sufficient vitamin C and additional iron. AU'in all, parents can and do put good health in reach of their baby. > By SPECTATOR... COMMENTS on * x MEN AND THINGS Well, the election is over. Guess which electon. Senators and Representatives in Congress, ail over this great Nation; Gov ernors, too. But in South Caro lina we have taken our elections quietly; that is the election of Representatives in Congress, some. State Senators and the en tire State House of Representa- t ves. More than that: we elect ed a Governor, a Lieutenant Governor and many other offic ials of the State; and of the coun ties also. So what is all the tu mult and shouting about? In South Carolina we had a very unusual case; and all this developed from what someone called a concomitance of circum stances, namely, to wit: the choice of a Democrat' to succeed the late Senator Burnet R May- bank. So far as I know, all the candidates were Democrats in | good standing, certainly in good and regular standing as South, Carolina Democrats to the rules j of the South Carolina Democratic Convention of 1936. This state was stirred from Charleston to Pickens as never before or since the brave days of Wade Hampton, B. R. Tillman, and Cole L. Blease. Within the last two decades we have become soft, but the recent campaign brought out the fighting qualities of our people. It has been a tonic to our State, this assertion of individual right; the citizen is worth more than the Party, or any Party, although we need political parties. In fact we need strong, vigorous Democraic and Republican Par ties, because if we split up into splinter parties w’e shall become as ineffective as the French are. In South Carolina we have been ignored by both Parties; our best course would be to build a strong independent Party within the State, prepared to cooperate with those who respect and regard us. Attsjhings they" iVe'vi pass away, don’t ve just had an unus ual political campaign through out the Nation; and even South Carolina was caught in the vor tex. Seldom has a General Elec tion been so embittered. How ever, the sun still shines and the Washington monument is still firm and unmoved, as Calvin Coolidge once observed when some writers dug up a lot of trash about several figures in our his tory. I’m reminded that the world is quite accustomed to tumult, tur moil, vanity, vexation of spirit, arrogance, greed, turbulence and what not. In days of remote antiquity the rulers of Egypt were sometimes despoilers; sometimes brutal; the Pharaohs are familiar to us in j sacred history, as well as known by their pyramids and other monuments. We’ve read of the Babylonians and we associate their sway with ! the Biblical acounts of Daniel, and the lads in the fiery furnace. The story of the Assyrians comes to mind and we can see them in awe-awakening mili tary array when Eisha’s servant quailed in fright and J/ehovah smote them with blindness. Our minds play along with Philip of Macedon, whose wild excesses inspired such oratorical denunciations that all such un measured reproach became known as philippic. But Phil lip’s greater fame rests on this being the father of Alexander the Great, before whom the an cient world trembled. Must we now come to Rome and the Caesars; or shall we j ponder the genuis of Napoleon, | his empire; his laws, his vanity, his broad sweep and deep fall? Well, the world has survived all that; and the world has re covered from the ambition of the Kaiser. So it may rise from the j ashes, if need be, and prevail I against all the social theorists and half-baked Economists of to- , day. Right and justice will ; somehow emerge triumphant. So we Americans and we South Carolinians may be sure that af ter “the tumult and the shout ing dies; and the captain’s and the king’s depart,’’ the ancient rule of sacrifice and service will j still apply and we shall again earn our bread and meat by the sweat of our brows. The mutability of humtfn for tune, as our fathers said, in dig nified phrase denoting the changeableness of everything: the change, the lack of perma nence, as declared by the Master, when He said:, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My, word shall not pass away.” The words of the beautiful old I hymn will be recalled: ; "Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day | Earth’s joys grow dim; its glo ries pass away. Change and decay in all around I see: O thou who changest not, Abide with Me.” • • * $500 Billion Opportunity Right now America is by far the richest nation in the history of the world. Yet- paradoxically, our needs ute greater than ever. Because of our amazingly fast growth— and the fact that war halted most civilian construction—there is a huge backlog of demand for all types of goods and services. We need schools and hospitals, more housing, improved streets and highways, and more of all types of civilian goods. On top of that, 11,000 babies are being bom in America every day — enough every month to populate the cities of Charlotte, Greenville, Spartanburg, Gas tonia, Anderson, and Greenwood combined. All of these babies Five Men Make Five Mistakes One man struck a match to see if the gaso line tank was empty. IT WASNT! One man patted a strange bulldog on the head to see if it was affectionate. IT WASNT! One man speeded up to see if he could beat the train to the crossing. HE COULDNT! One mam touched an electric wire to see if it was charged. IT WAS! One main cut out his advertising to see if he could save money. HE COULDNT! $ H 8 8 r § The Chronicle “A Family Paper Everybody Reads” 0 f “ ‘ industry and add materially to the demand for such types of goods and services. - Experts calculate that there is a backlog of need for new schools amounting to $40 billion, for new roads and streets amounting to $60 billion, for new homes amounting to $100 billion, and for durable equipment and pon- residential construction of $300 billion. That comes to a whop ping $500 billion business oppor tunity fo America in the years ahead. Never has any Ameri can at any time in any glace had such good reasons for optimism and entertirise. This long-range look*at Ameri ca’s future is one of the pre dominating factors in the growth of new industry in the South and in other sections of the country which were previously under-de veloped. Million dollar plants are not built or abandoned be cause of the way the stock mar ket looks today. They are built on faith in the future.” The reason is simple. The de vice which heats water to make steam is. only one part of the intricate utility system which lights our houses and powers our factories. It is the only part which the nuclear reactor re places. From that point oh, noth ing is changed in principle. The steam must turn the same tur bines, which turn the same dyna mos. The same high - tension lines and expensive transformers will be used. Dr. John R. Dun ning of Columbia University, one of the men who made the whole thing possible, believes that eventually the cost of atomic fuel j to the plants will be only a small fraction of the price now paid for coal. But note that even if coal cost nothing your electric bill would not be much lower than it is now. In 1952 the average American householder paid 2.77 cents per kilowatt-hour. Of this the coal-burning plants spent on ly .33 cents for fuel. In South Carolina our electric power is 6254 cents. The prospect of relatively cheaper power is further damp ened by a look at the estimated construction bills. The Pitts burgh plant, to be built by the Atomic Energy Commission and the Duquesne Light Co., (with the A EC picking up most of the bill.), will cost about 52 million dollars, not including research and development cost;*. A coal- burning plant of the same size could be built for about nine mil lion dollars. Future plants will probably not cost less but, says former AEC Chairman Gordon Dean, in Report on the Atom, ’it seems quite possible that atomic power plants will always cost more to build than coal plants— because a nuclear reactor is vastly nrore expensive than a coal furnace’. Why, then, bother with atomic energy at all? For the quickest answer let’s look .at Britain. Brit ain has used up much of her best coal, is importing increasing amounts an, to meet expanding power needs, is combing dumps of inferior coal once thrown away as worthless. Britain must use more power per factory worker in order to hold her place in world industry. Since the war she has been electrifying 10,000 farms per year and plans to accelerate the pace. Crowds Inspect New Ford Line At Baldwins' ' Large crowds throughout Fri day and Saturday visited the showrooms of Baldwin Motor Fair lane series, an entirely new Company to inspect the Ford line for 1955 shown to the public for the first time. Refreshments were served during the day and are good customers for American f the new cars given a look-over by throngs of men and women who called. The 1955 Fords are distinguish ed by modem styling inspired by the new Thunderbird person- 1 al car, Wrap-around windshield and new, lower silhouettes are featured. The Crown Victoria, a new model is the first Ford sedan less than live feet in height. Three new engines are intro duced for the first time. These will include a high-compression inch displacement and an 8.5 to Y-block V-8 engine of 272 cubic 1 compression ratio; a Y-block V-8 engine of 272 cubic inch dis placement and a 7 6 to 1 com pression ratio, and an improved tures as improved six cylinder I-block engine of transmission, a new 228 cubic incH displacement and 7.5 to 1 compression ratio. Dual exhausts which Ford en gineers say provide extra power are standard on all Fairlane V-8 and station wagon models. Named after the home of the late Henry Ford, the new Fair- lane series includes a completely new styling in the Crown Vic toria model. This car has an arch of chrome over the top like a tiara. It is also available with a transparent plastic roof- over the driver’s compartment. In addition to the two Crown ard equipment Power steering, power windows and power seats also are available.
