Deciding upon what each person in the family needs for an adequate diet can be an easy matter for the homemaker who has aa improved understanding of foods. There are many charU available which explain the caloric value of foods. A calorie ia simply the measurement of the amount of heat that ia created as energy within the body. Each particular food will supply a certain amount of calories.

After the number of calories are computed which comprise the necessary diet, that ia, those contained in the meat, milk, eggs, vegetables, fruit and wheat products consumed, the remainder of the day'a allotment can be figured. Boya and girls asually aeed about 2.404 calories a day to stay healthy.

This decreases a small ameuat with each year af age. People who wUh to lose weight should make up their ralorie count exclusively from the lut of food required by the body for sound health.

For women, a diet of from 1.400 to 1,600 calories is considered adequate, and for men, from 2,000 to 2,400 calories.

Says State Champion: a Chess Is Great Method to Improve Mind By ELIZABETH KIRKNESS Does playing chess improve your mind, or is it just a game? Definitely me xormer, jays rnu- ip A. Kolvoord, attorney, of Essex Junction and he should know. He's the Vermont chess champion.

Just In case you think chess-players are gray-beard who sit pondering the next move for hours. Kolvoord is a vital, young man, form, where you may keep 25 or 30 games going, and is popular ig masters of the indoor sport. Former American champion, Reshevsky, an American, was laying 'em low at age eight and ia still going atrong. The present world's champion is a Russian, Botvinnik by name. Chess clubs abound, right in this area, said Kolvoord, and there are some excellent players in the area, among them Prof.

Fay and Jay Purvis of Colchester are very good at it." How about women and chess? Kolvoord shrugged. "As a rule they don't have the mathematical mind required by the game." But if you want to learn to concentrate, pull up a chair, whoever you are. Only watch out. It can become an addiction. Taught at an early age by his father, Kolvoord can't remember when he didn't know how to play.

It serves him in good stead as he concentrates on legal problems aniid.st the distractions of a nearby railroad and passing traffic. "A bright youngster can learn at nine years or so," he stated. "Some chess geniuses learn earlier, and have even conducted simultaneous games on tours. "The game really isn't hard, once you learn the rules." Exploding the popular misconception that "chess games last forever," he pointed out that their average duration is "an hour or so." and that tournament games are clocked. Of course, if you play by mail, it takes longer, as in the case of one of Kolvoord's college professors, who plays games with a prisoner in Mexico.

Once you've mastered regular chess, you may want to take on variations such as playing blindfold. "Nardjof, a fellow la Argen-Una, has played 45 games simultaneously that way," Kolvoord related. "All you have to do is keep a mlnds-rye pie tore of the board." Simultaneous chess is another with more than you can shake the proverbial stick at. And he says 'tain't so. "It's a young man's game, he decalred with enthusiasm.

'In fact, most of the top chess players la the country are young; most world champions have been In their er un- er, and Bobby Fischer, who Just qualified for the World's Challengers Tournament, Isn't yet II." Kolvoord, his name comes from Dutch descent) firmly be age the I I right II A lieves that chess serves as "an exercise of the mind' and ia excellent training for children. That's why the Russians are urging their young people to play. I "It develops the habit of concentration, which is not inborn, but has to be learned," said the champion.
