Using a helper in a view of the PagesController

Hi,
I created a date-formatting helper for displaying german day names.
Now I want to use it in a view of the PagesController. I inserted the
following code in the ctp file:

$this->helpers[] = 'DateFormat';
$this->loadHelpers($this->helpers, 'DateFormat');

It works, but i wonder if
1) is this the usual/best way to do it?
2) if i omit one of the lines it doesn't work, but writing is twice
seems wrong to me

If it's correct, just say it is :)
