Purple Fennings Patsy Lee Leaders County Extension Agent Home Economics , Are any of these your New Year's resolutions? To protect your healht or improve your appearance (whichever interests you) by losing all those unwanted pounds. To become a more creative cook so that your famiy or friends will look forward to interesting meals. To learn a new skill or hobby. To plan next summer’s flower garden while there is snow on the ground so that next summer you will have a lovely garden which is __ always in bloom. We could go on and on. This column will try to start the New Year with a resolution to keep all informed on these topics and other*. The first will be a hint to those who are already begining to check calories. Remember the way you serve a food can change a low calorie item to a high calorie item. Take a peach for example: One fresh peach (% cup of slices), 30 calories; one fresh peach with 2 teaspoons sugar, 60 calories; one fresh peach, 2 teaspoons sugar, cup of half and half, 140 —calories; two peach halves and liquid from water pack, 40 calories; two peach halves and syrup, 100 calories. ■ In my book every calorie counts so why not resolve to can your peaches next summer either water packed or else sweetened with a non-calorie sweetner, if you are a calorie counter. For the high school students I hope all of you have resolved to study and aways have your lessons completed the best you can. A report from the office of the secretary of labor points out that school "drop-outs” are not able to obtain the more desirable jobs. This is particularly true for girls. Only one of six girls who leave school before graduation become clerical workers — compared with ‘ twothirds of the women graduates. In the years ahead it is predicted that more emphasis will be placed on brains, rather than brawn; on a rising level of skills; on flexibility and adaptabiliyt. The following fact was really an "eye-opener.” The report stated that single women spend 40 years at work; married women with children, 31 years; married women who have children and then go back to work, 27 years. To be employed in the 1970’s the young women of today SHADY LADY— At least one fan is “all wrapped up” in the game as she watches a cricket match between Australia and England at Brisbane, Australia.

will have'to select an occupational field which interests them and then work hard to obtain as much education and experience as possible. With all this cold weather remember to protect your African violets from cold injury as they are very susceptible to cold temperatures and drafts. The Purdue bulletin, "African Violets,” states that it is wise to nemove them from the window on cold nights or put paper between them and the window. Lighting is also important, in the winter it is best to put them in your brighest window — usually facing south or east. In many coutries, Twelfth Night, also known as day of kings, epiphany and Little Christmas is celebrated as enthursiastically as December 25. In Italy, feasting is centered around “Cappellatti all use di Romano.” This time-honored dish consists of roast veal, boiled chicken and slices of prosciutto ham finely ground and mixed with flour, eggs, cottage cheese, lemon peel and spices. One of my favorite little books is “Food Facts Talk Back.” This was compiled by the American dietetic association a few years ago to help combat food misinformation and to help the public separate old wive’s tales and food facta. — Here are a few statements from ■the book: Fallacy: “Additional food is needed for mental activity. Fact: Additional food is not -needed for mental activity. Three meals, equally distributed through the day, will support optimum work efficiency.” At the University erf Minnesota -iSFSi': of physiological hygiene, a study was conducted on a group of twelve normal young men who went without food for four and a half days on two different occasions, separated by a period of six months. Psychological testa and direct observations indicted that the subjects were not afected intellectually by the stress of starvation. The intelligence tests showed little or no change.” Fallacy: “Fish and celery are brain foods.” Facts. Special foods do not build special tissues. Possibly this belief arose from the fact the nerve tissue, which comprises a part of our brains, is rich in phosphorus, and fish provides phosphoruscontaining compounds. But meat, poultry, eggs and milk are also rich in phosphorus. It is a mystery how celery, which contains little phosphorus, became known as brain food.” Fallacy: Milk is constipating.” Fact: The statement that milk is constipating is not based on fact. The only'objection to milk is that the patient who takes it in large quantities is less likely to eat other foods, jn amounts sufficient to give him the necessary bulk. Jt is proper to give milk to the constipated patient, provided he obtains sufficient crude fiber from his other foods.” “Fallacy: “Everybody needs vitamin concentrates. Vitamins are “cure-alls.” Fact: Scientists are agreed that foods are the best sources of vitamins, and that vitamin preparations in the form of concentrates are not necessary for the average person if the diet is adequate. A haphazard diet bolstered by vitamin concentrates is not advised. It may be lacking in calories, protein, mineral elements, or in some vitamin-car essentials as yet unknown. Vitamin preparations cannot take the place of f00d.., There is a growing tendency for vitamin preparations to be prescribed for (or to be self-prescrib-ed) and consumed by persons who can expect to receive no benefit from them. Persons suffering from vitamin deficiencies can be benefited by vitamin concentrates, which should be prescribed by physisians.

Fok Singing Rise Phenomenon Os Time By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD—A tragic thing happened to me on my way to interview Peter, Paul & Mary. I lost my beard. '.l' . . P. as you may know, are folk singers. Two of them— I forget which two—wear beards. I have heard •it said that beards are good for the voice. At any rate, they began playing an engagement here about the time that I began sprouting a beard of my own. I had an appointment with them and I was naturally self-conscious about exhibiting toy beard in the presence of a pair of, shall we say, “mature” beards. In desperation, I tried to trim it before it was ready for trimming. As a result, I got it out of balance. It listed to port, so that my face appeared to have been built on the bias. Like Lame Horse A lopsided beard, I discovered, is like a lame horse. There is nothing you can do but put it out of its misery. Pity. I had intended to discuss beard growing with Peter, Paul & Mary, but the mishap forced me to switch topics. We talked about folk singing instead. The rise of folk singing in America is one of the phenomena of our time. The way things are going -there will soon be more folk singers than there are folks. Most of the professionals in the field are practitioners of what I would call “instant folk music.” By that I mean that they don’t wait around for folks to* produce folk music. They write their own. Peter, Paul & Mary are among the rising stars of do-it-yourself folk circuit in Greenwich Village, a folksy sort of neighborhood in New York City. Exchange Art Works Now they are reaping royalties from a hit record and have moved up to folk centers that serve something stronger than coffee. For Christmas they gave each other original art works, which shows what can happen when you get folk music away from the folks. ; All of this popularity and commercial success does not fit my concept of what a folk singer is. I can remember when a folk singer was anyone who knew all 47 verses of “John Henry.” He sang mostly for his own amusement, largely because nobody wanted to hear 47 verses of "John Henry.” f 7 •' ‘ Peter, Paul & Mary insist, however, that their style of folk singing, in its way, is as authentic as the more primitive form- _ They may be right. The future of folk singing can perhaps be foreseen in the fact that Peter, Paul & Mary, two-thirds of whom play guitars, have hired a bass player to augment their act. I predict it is only a question of time before folk singers will be accompanied by their own symphony orchestras. I Modern Etiquette I By Roberta Lee Q.

NIPSCO’S NEW Bailly generating station is the third plant built on the lake by the utility. When the generating unit is running at full capacity, its 15-story boiler will consume about 80 tons of coal per hour—36 fifty-ton rail carloads a day. In its operations the plant uses more than 200 million gallons of Lake Michigan water per day—l4o,ooo gallons a minute. The water is returned to the lake cleaner and warmer than when it enters the plant. Capable of producnig 1,200,000 pounds of steam per hour, the huge boilei contains about 80 miles of tubing.

Expense Account Spending Drops

(EDITOR’S NOTE — The government’s crackdown on expense account spending has been cited as the reason for the closing of two Hollywood restaurants. Restaurant and night clubowners in other cities are divided as to how much the new laws will hurt them. United 9 Press International polled owners of the nation’s highest priced night spots on whether the era of the big time spender is coming to an end.) By GENE BLUDEAU United Press International When “Prince Mike” Romanoff closes his Hollywood restaurant New Year’s Day many nightclub owners in other cities will tee mourning with him. Like the bogus prince, they fear the government’s new tax policies may be the last nail in the coffin of the big-time expense account spender. Romanoff summed it up Dec. 19 by announcing that after 12 years he was locking the door on his restaurant because "costs are prohibitive and with the new tax conditions it makes it completely impossible.” Restaurant and supper club owners in some cities scoffed at Romanoff’s self-proclaimed woes. Most expected government requirements “ for strict accounting of expense account splurging would have some effect. But the dissenters said they were doing fine and expected to keep it up. Toots Shor, prominent New York saloon keeper, summed up this view-’ “It’s like an athlete. When you got it, you’re there. When you’re out, you’re out.” Side With Prince Others, particularly in the West .and in Florida, were in the Romanoff camp. One, ex-movie comedian Ben Blue, beat the prince to the punch. Blue moaned the passing of his live-it-up and charge-it-up clientele as he closed his Santa Monica, Calif., supper club Dec. VI. The poker-faced comedian said an analysis of ■ patronage during the past three months revealed “a conspicuous absence of credit card and charge account patrons?'’ “It’s going to be a low dollar from now on for the night clubs,” Blue said. Dave Chasen, owner of another Hollywood restaurant, said the restriction on expanse account entertainment “hurts all around ... it was a stupid thing for the government to do.” To take up the slack, Chasfeii suggested that businessmen be allowed to bring their wives along

on across-the-table business deals. “Sometimes the wife is the greatest asset,” he said. Outlook Gloomy Miami hotel owners also reported a gloomy outlook for 1963 and blamed a growing scarcity of credit card bon vivants. “The crackdown on expense accounts has hurt us noticeably because when people know they will have to account for their spending, they don’t spend so much,” said the manager of the Americana Hotel. San Francisco restaurants reported expense account spending down from 5 to 10 per cent and hotels said a similar tailing off was showing up in rentals to six. Operators of swank restaurants in Washington, D. C., agreed with Romanoff that new tax laws have affected business. Most outspoken was Mrs. Jean Martin, who manages the Espionaage and Rue Royal restaurants in Georgetown. She said, “I’m getting worried to death.” In Denver, managers of the five plushiest eating spots said they could feel the law pinch. Peter Dehas of the Plus Horse, restaurant said the evening trade has been affected “and I’m concerned about it as is everybody.” Blame Business Drop In New York, and Chicago, restaurant owners were inclined to pooh-pooh the Romanoff cry of woe. They blamed declining business, not tax laws, for the closing of the prince’s restaurant. Robert Kriendler, president of New York’s 21« Club, said the new law “will definitely have some effect but I certainly am not in a state of panic. To turn in panic and say that it will force restaurants to close down is just as ridiculous as to say it will have no effect.” Fred Clare, manager of the Hotels Ambassador which houses Chicago’s Pump Room, said he disagreed with Romanoff “100 per cent ... our figures here show that only 5 per cent of night club and restaurant customers charge it. The other 95 per cent are using their own money.” Co-owner George Marienthal of Chicago’s London House and Mister Kelly’s said Romanoff was way off base. “We’re doing as well as ever,” he said. And in .Boston, Edward Davis, manager of the Executive Suite, reported tilings rolling along at the same pace. .• “As for the big spenders, I haven’t seen any since-the speakeasy days,” he said. +
