It maintains 13 active Army eight Army National Guard divisions and 12 Army Reserve training divisions. Concurrently, under the security assistance program, the Army aids our allies and friendly foreign countries to attain the adequate foreign countries to attain adequate military capabilities to defend their freedom. Significant changes have occurred within the Army since the end of our involvement in the Vietnam War. Preparing for an era of smaller active forces, higher costs and zero draft, the Army underwent a major reorganization within the Continental U.S. The Army reorganization aimed at insuring the highest possible degree of cost effective combat readiness for the Active Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve. Another highlight has been the successful transition to the volunteer Army. This transition began in January 1973 and became official in July 1973 as the draft induction authority ended for the first time for 30 years. Programs to attract and retain highly qualified and talented personnel are among the highest priorities in the Army today. The two year enlistment option has been modified to permit the high quality personnel to enlist either for certain overseas assignments or for one of a num di-vtisiq- ns, Air Force Has Active Duty Openings For Physicians Hill Air Base Opens For Armed Forces Day For the first time since 1965, Hill AFB will hold Armed Force Day.

Medical recruiting officials anticipate the Air Force will have less primary care physicians than it needs by the end of this fiscal year. But, other steps are under way to continue needed medical services for Air Force members. Hopefully we are facing a temporary situation resulting from the abolishment of the doctor draft he said.

Doctor in the Kitchen by Laurence M. Hursh, M.D. Consultant, National Dairy Council A NATIONAL NUTRITION POLICY? In nutrition today, many professionals are saying Americas major need is putting it all together. What they mean is we must now decide how we are going to best approach the nutritional needs of our people. We know what many of the needs are. The technology is available to add to that knowledge. But there has been no central agreement on how we are to get the job done. The movement for such agreement has grown steadily since the 1969 White House Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health. Now, a National Nutrition Consortium has been formed by four organizations the American Institute of Nutrition, the American Society for Clinical Nutrition, the American Dietetic Association, and the Institute of Food Technologists. Others, I feel sure, will join or be involved in the consortiums deliberations. This would mean the 40,000 members of the original four groups will be augmented b still more professionals and thus the resources of the whole movement will be greater to bring about a national nutrition policy. Problem Is Complex No one believes the development of such a policy should be done by food scientists and nutritionists alone. The problem is too complex for that But these professionals must play an important role. Political sensitivity to the problem is indicated in the recent announcement of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs that it plans to hold a National Nutrition Policy Conference. It is tentatively set for this June. inAnd a recent dication of alertness to the problem occurred at the National Dairy Councils 59th annual meeting in Atlanta. More than 700 dairy industry and Dairy Council leaders attended sessions at which a national nutrition policy food-indust- ry was discussed. Is it really all that important? Well, most people now agree in hind sight, that if we had a national energy policy there would not now be an energy crisis. And the problem of food and our nation's best use of it for the good of all is certain to be an increasingly pressing problem for America. What Would A Policy Cover? What kinds of considerations would a national nutrition policy cover? A surveillance system would be paramount some way to keep track of how food prices and nutrition programs, for example, are affecting the adequacy of American diets. Programs and priorities also are needed for nutrition programs for disadvantaged groups, prevention of tion-related diseases, nutrition education, training of profession-a- l personnel, and support of nutrition research. And all these would have to jell with the difficult relationships such policies might have with agricultural policy, international trade and programs, and the question of when decisions are best made nationally or locally. Yes. A national nutrition policy could be important indeed. So important that it should be decided by representatives of all segments of our society. nutri- |
