Feminine Fads and Fancies BY ANNE LEE Meal planning is one of the daily tasks that make women wish that the kitchen was completely out-moded and that the vitamin pill days spoken of for the future were already here. If the lady of the house could sit back and have each meal planned for her, her duties could be greatly lessened. In the usual search for material for this column I ran across the following suggestion for meal planning, "Have a daily variety of "textures"—that is, see that you have crisp foods, chewy foods, and soft foods. Balance your meals to get the highest degree of nutrition from them." A balanced menu is the aim and goal of the situation, but often harder to gain than a touchdown in a Rose Bowl game. A balanced meal should include two or more vegetables other than potatoes, at least a pint of milk for each adult and one quart for each child per day, one serving each of eggs, meat, or fish, one whole grain cereal such as wheat or corn, enough fats and sweets to make the food palatable, and at least six glasses of water for each person daily. The homemaker is expected to serve these items and yet maintain a budget on generally a small amount of actual cash. A few items in the grocery store that are now in season will help to keep within the boundaries of such a system. For instance, the vegeta- Junior Auxiliary Meets at Dinner Members of the Junior Auxiliaries of the Presbyterian church meet the guests at a dinner given by the members of the Ladies Aid Society, of which Mrs. Walter Ross chairman, Monday evening at Presbyterian church.
