Food Sense—^Not Nonsense

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.

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

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

pression ratio, and an improved tures as improved
six cylinder I-block engine of transmission, a new

late Henry Ford, the new Fair-
lane series includes a completely
new styling in the Crown Vic
toria model. This car has an
