Vacation or not, children have a hearty noon meal. Houi* ef active play in the fresh air ex haust energy and make nourish ing food necessary. There are certain rules which govern the choice of a child’s diet and some knowledge of these rules makes daily meal planning much easier. Every child should have in his diet every day one quart of milk. He should have three vegetables, one of which may be po tatoes and one of the others raw or green. He should have two fruits, one preferably raw; one serving &t meat, fish or eggs; a whole grain cereal, three slices of bread and tour glasses of water. All foods are better served as simply as possible, but care must be taken to make children’s food palatable and attractive. An easy way to plan a child's luncheon is to include in It those foods In his daily . food requirement that arc not served at breakfast or dinner whenjthe family are togeth er. Then if he Is given his > broiled chop or meat cake at noon he may have the dinner vegetable provided for the rest of the family. Very often the luncheon dessert can be counted as the main dish because a large amount of nour ishment can be put into a pud ding. This type of dessert sel dom is wanted for dinner and- adds variety if used for the noon meal. When dinner is early and hearty a simple luncheon of raw vege- ‘ table sandwiches, one hot cooked ’ vegetable, a glass of milk and a nourishing dessert will prove sat isfactory for hot noons. No matter how hot the noon, one hot food should be included in the meat A point to keep in mind is that luncheon dishes should be easily digested because the meal comes at the hottest time of the day. j Insist on fifteen minutes rest before the meal and half an hour af quiet in the shade afterwards. i.

ABC is readying an afternoon show to be called “Meet Me at the As- tor.” • • • Mere Suggestions Looking over recent and cur rent best sellers in the book sec tion, it occurs to us that the fol lowing casting might be made: “The Gauntlet” is a natural for Gregory Peck; “This Side of In nocence” calls for either Gene Tierney or Maureen O’Hara; Glenn Ford might prove himself in “David the King” and “The Egg and I” is made for Joan Fon taine. Unlike many critics, here’s one that thinks the choice of Charles Boyer for the role of Ravic in “Arch of Triumph” is excellent . . .

Hank Greenberg, who will wind up his playing career when this season ends, is ne gotiating to buy the Pittsburgh Pi rates. If he suc ceeds in closing the deal, he will become the third big league player to rise to owner ship of a major team. Gertrude Niesen, blonde musical Hank comedy star, is Greenberg heading a syndi cate seeking to purchase the Phillies. Present owner, Don Carpenter, is willing to sell, provided he can buy the Philadelphia Athletics from el derly Connie Mack. It looks like everybody wants to get into the act, somehow. . . . George Raft, the movie actor, for instance, wants to buy a piece of some club ... so do several other members of the Hollywood col ony. There is talk of raising the Los Angeles Angels club to the rank of a major league team . . . Phil Wrigley, owner of the Chi cago Cubs, also owns the Angels. He might be willing to sell to a local group. — Joe Louis may go on a tour of South America . . . other rumors say that he will meet the best possible challenger this Septem ber in Los Angeles, although Mike Jacobs is making efforts to arrange a bout with Tami Mauri- ello in New York. Another title fight is scheduled for August 21, when welterweight champion, Marty Servo, will risk his crown by meeting Ray “Sugar” Robin son in the New York polo grounds. One of the Chicago Cubs pros pects for next season is Marv Felderman of the Milwaukee Brewers, who is currently bat ting .354. . . . Purdue has enrolled a freshman that every basketball coach would like to have ... he is Bob Axness, 6-foot 7-inch prep star from Ashland, Wis. . . . De troit is in an all-out campaign to snare the 1952 Olympic games. Gil Dodds, the theology student who retired from track compe tition after setting several new marks, has made a successful comeback. He won the 880-yard | race in the 45th annual Central ’ A A.

Carnegie FAMOUS LOUNSBERRY WILL I N THE ragged pocket of a ragged coat, belonging to the inmate of a Chicago poorhouse, the following will was found on the dead body of a tramp. It has become fa mous as “The Will of Charles Lounsberry.” I have had so many requests for it that 1 am reprinting it: ' I, Charles Lounsberry, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make and publish this my last will and testament. Item: I give to good fathers and mothers, in trust for their children, all good little words of praise and encouragement, and all quaint pet names and endearments; and I charge said pi*rents to use them justly, but generously, as the deeds of their children shall require. Item: I devise to boys jointly, all the useful idle fields and commons where ball may be played, all pleasant wa ters where one may swim, all snow-clad hills where one may coast, and all steams and ponds where one may fish, or where, when grim winter comes, one may skate, to hold the same for the period of their boyhood. Item: To lovers, I devise their imaginary world, with whatever they may need, as the stars of the sky, the red roses by the wall, the bloom of the haw- * thorn, th«; sweet strains of music, and aught else they may desire to guarantee to each other the lastingness and beauty of their love. Item: To young men jointly I bequeath all the boister ous inspiring sports of rivalry, and I give to them the dis dain of weakness, and undaunted confidence in their own strength. Item: And to those who are no longer children or youths, or lovers, I leave memory; and bequeath to them the vol umes of poems of Burns and Shakespeare and other poets, if there be others, to the end that they may live the old days over again, freely and fully without tithe or diminution. Item: To the loved ones with snowy crowns, I bequeath the happiness of old age, the love and gratitude of their chil dren until they fall asleep. >6 mm , 4 fm Pamtfiood BY MRS. CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS Associate Editor, Parents' Magazine Good Reading Luilng Vacation 1G LJ ERE’S another vacation proj- A 1 ect for parents — summer reading for their children. We don’t usually emphasize reading for summer, but this is a mis take, for what could be better suited than a good book to the hours children spend on the porch during the hottest part of the day? Left to themselves, comic books will probably fill these hours. So it’s up to parents to provide some good, strong competition in the way of books which offer per manent delight. For one of the saving things about comic book reading is that children outgrow it. Yet if during the years when these picture books have such strong appeal a child reads nothing else, it may be difficult to get him back to enjoyment of the printed page. In making their selections of books parents need a better guide than their own memories of what they liked as children. The local librarian will be glad to tell you which books have been proved good by children’s own love of them, as well as by standards of workmanship and suitability. For one thing, she will likely tell you that children who have been through the war years and who will grow up in this mixed-up postwar world need fun in their books—beauty and reality and character building, adventure and fancy—but above all, fun. Fortunately there are many chil dren’s books that bubble with laughter, such as “Sand for Sand- men,” by Dola de Jong, with its gay nonsense—and “Red Mit tens,” by Laura Bannon, which will amuse little children. , Of course, if your child is I already a reader of books, let ' him have his say in their se- j lection. For example, all i ages—from toddlers up—are saying, “I want a book about ' NOW.” They want to read about their own world, and for the time being interest in , the past has waned. A bean- j tlful picture book for very young children, “Ilenka,” by ; Lee Kingman, introduces them factually to modern . Russia, hitherto presented as j a fairy tale country in most ' children’s books. Books about heroes of the war are popu- i lar with children a little old- . er. “Jungle Boy,” by Lyle Carveth, presents a fascinat ing story of Philippine life. ! “Let’s Do Better” is Munro Leaf’s primer on internation- al relations for very young readers. < In this latter category of books that make children think, and that have a truly civilizing influ ence, parents can have the guid ance of a free list compiled by the Chicago Round Table of the National Conference of Chris tians and Jews, 203 North Wa bash avenue, Chicago, 111! Also, for a compilation of new and old favorites for children of all ages, listed by age interest and under various descriptive headings, send a stamped, self-addressed large envelope to Parents’ mag azine, 52 Vanderbilt avenue, New York 17, N. Y. < ^ jKr gRAIN UDGEti 1—How many chief justices have there been on the U. S. Supreme court?
