Dramatizes Nutrition Noted for her ability to dramatize nutrition, to translate technical, scientific terms into practical information that the housewife can understand and apply in her own kitchen, Mrs. Wright Will appear in Roosevelt under the Joint sponsorship of the Utah State Nutrition Council, a unit cf the State Council for Defense; and the Utah State Press Association.
