Children are taught good eating habits at nursery established by the Health for Victory Club in a new project of the club's nutrition program at the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, at Mansfield, Ohio. Under the direction of a paid kindergarten teacher, the children are taught fundamentals of food and health, while their mothers, who are wives of war workers at the plant, study new points of nutrition under war-time conditions. The Health for Victory Club at the Mansfield plant has developed a program of safeguarding workers' health by buying and serving the foods that make up well-balanced meals that is now used by 640 war plants throughout the country. The Mansfield plant has a labor-management committee formed by representatives of the management and the United Electrical and Radio Machine Workers of America
