Has today's housewife taken on
so much extra-cirricular activities
that she is shirking one of her most
important jobs—feeding her fam-
ily three well-balanced meals a
day?
Facts uncovered by a team oi
agriculture department nutrition-
ists, biochemists, physicians, and
technicians show that the family
isn't getting his three square meals
a day.
His diet is likely to be lacking
in calcium, vitamin C, the B-Vita-
mins, etc.
Overweight
And chances are he's over-
weight—caused partly by the fact
that for breakfast he gets a cup
of coffee and a sweet roll, then
eases his mid-morning hunger with
high-calorie snacks.
If Papa isn't getting a well-
balanced diet, chances are the rest
of the family isn't either.
No Time?
Can it be that Mama is spend-
ing so much time chauffeuring the
kids, keeping up with club activi-
tic ; rntrrt-in'ns. being Papa's
compaiiiUK, launching do-it-your-
self jobs around the house and
yard, and trying to he1'' '■iti
looks, that she isn't taking time
to give her family well-balanced
meals? £
It's a great temptation for the
woman who rushes in at 5 o'clock
from chauffeuring the kids to and
from some afterschool activity or
from an afternoon tea or meeting
of her garden club to open a few
cans and call it a meal.
It's also easy to speed up break-
fast by falling back on such time-
savers as cold cereal or sweet
rolls. Mamma has a well-equip-
ped kitchen, but maybe she isn'tV
spending as much time in it as she
should.
And perhaps when she pushes
her market basket past the fresh
fruits and vegetables to load it
heavily at the shelves lined with
heat-and-serve concoctions, she is
thinking more about how to fill up
her family than about how to see
that they are well-nourished. (All

Domestic Crises
Caused By Notre
Dame - Liberace
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 1 —
UP—A Notre Dame sociology pro-
fessor says he has found the key
to peace in a weekly domestic
war touched off by the fact that
the Irish football team and Liber-
ace are on television at the same
time.
"The game of the week is Lib-
erace vs. Notre Dame," Dr. John
J. Kane, head of the sociology de-
partment, wrote in a magazine ar-
ticle.
"What is sending husbands and
wives into sullen silence or fren-
zied fights?" Kane asked in the
article in "Ave Maria," a Catholic
weekly.
"It isn't money and it isn't
mothers-in-law," he said. "Sur-
veys and studies notwithstanding,
j it's Liberace."
Both the pianist and the football
1 games are on Sunday night, Lib-
erace on a local channel and No-
tre Dame on a Chicago station.
The article told of neighborhood
battles in which husbands de-
manded films of the previous
week's Notre Dame game and
wives pleaded for Liberace.
"What I have learned to do is
time the commercials on the Lib-
erace show by stop watch and
switch over to the football game
during that period," Kane said.
This way, he said, he gets a
glimpse of football and his wife
and children get their fill of the
smiling pianist.
