have more energy, and will tend to be more healthy, and as a result will be happier. In this “Study of Nutrition” we are hearing and understanding new facts, some of them are according to the things we do and others are contrary. In both cases, we are receiving benefits that you who are not coming do not enjoy. It isn’t too late to start coming. Begin at our next meeting, Monday, Jan. 26 at 7:30 to delve into the “Principles of Nutrition.” The topic next week is “Fuel Food-Fats.”
Boys Basketball The boys met the Farrar boys on their home floor and held them to the score of 22 to 12, a better showing than the defeat of a week before by the same team. Girls Basketball – Farrar 25, Collins 24. After a struggle, which brought the spectators to their feet, the Farrar girls gained the one point needed by a free throw. All the girls were in excellent condition and were putting forth energy, which ended at the half with Farrar ahead, 18-7. At the beginning of the second half, the Collins girls went on the floor with renewed strength and began to cut down that lead until 20-20 was placed on the scoreboard. “Shorty” was dropping them in as fast as she could gain a desired position and Virginia was always at her position. Then the game seesawed back and forth until 24-24 was read; then the Collins girls fouled and one free throw was granted, and as the ball fell through the net, the gun sounded giving the game to the Farrar girls by one point.

January 29, 1931 The Evening Nutrition class in its study of “Fats as Fuel Foods” last Monday evening concluded that we should decrease the large amounts of “fried foods” in our diet because frying makes food difficult to digest. Frequent use of pancakes and fried potatoes was discouraged. One tablespoon of butter a meal is needed to give the body the fat that is needed: or use one-half pound of butter per person per week. The problem for next week is “Protective Foods – Vitamins and Minerals.” Come and enjoy the discussions of our nutrition problems.
