Gallia County Leaders Sponsor Nutrition Institute in August
Gallia County leaders plan a county wide nutrition institute in mid August with Dr. Jonathan Forman editor of The Ohio Medical Journal as speaker. E G Royer leads a diverse committee drawing physicians dentists health officials schools and civic groups to promote conservation food values and better nutrition as part of national defense. WPA workers assist canning and a six acre East Gallipolis school garden is productive as preparations include school kitchen surpluses and need for more glass containers. County draft records show 33 percent military rejections due to poor physical condition which nutritionists say can be improved by better food selection and cooking.
