START PLANS FOR BETTER NUTRITION Better nutrition for Mills countians was the goal set out here Monduy evening at meeting called to study this problem. Because of the rain only a few attended the affuir but the temporary officers were directed to colttinue the organization and find persons available for permanent officers.

The problem of nutrition WaS raised when much undernourishment was discovered during the 4-H health examinations throughout the state. A cursory survey in this county tater indicated that malnutrition wus widespread, due partly to luck of food but chietly to use of an unbalanced diet. In attacking the problem the best means for storing vegetables und otherwise uslug garden foods will be developed and publicized. about the snakes and insects of the south. I will only say this we have been over some very rough country on our problems and we have had very little trouble with insects and suukes.

Of course we kill a snake now and then. So to you who are concerned, please don't worry about the suakes cuuslug us uny trouble. So much for that. Here is 6 point of interest.
