COLD WEATHER driving’s easier if you keep flares, flashlight, sand, long-handled brush, and plastic windowscraper in your car. And an anti-freeze solution in your windshield washer.

y Of NUTRITION

There is no such thing as a “junk" food. All foods are “health" foods. Anything we eat has a caloric and nutritional value. Some foods have more or less value than others, and all have different values —but all contribute something to our health and maintenance. No food can be considered “junk." which means “worthless.”

MRS. PAUL A. BATTIES

BY OLGA ROBINSON Much praise can be given these days to anything wholesome that’s interracial. Such is the case with the ultra modern, recently opened “Today’s Headliners" beauty salon at 3940 S. Keystone. Operated by Jackie Monson, it sits squarly in a mostly white community, but offers its services to both blacks and whites. Hours are Monday thru Saturday, 9 a.m. - 7:30 p.m., and appointments are not always necessarv The black beautician, as efficient as the rest, is Rosa Smith. We welcome them to our community. It’s in Perry Township and I’ve lived in it 35 years. Three cheers for their business endeavor. *** Check out the new twofamily catering service, RohBro.
