Voice Opposition To Sale Os Sweets In Schools
The Council on Foods and Nutrions of the American Medical Association has voiced strong opposition to the sale and distribution of confections and carbonated beverages in school lunchrooms. The objection is based on the premise that children may be tempted to spend their lunch money on these items in preference to more nutritous foods. The Council also feels that schools should help the children learn good food habits. Composed of leading nutrion scientists from throughout the country, the Council on Foods and Nutrion offers guidance to physicions, as well as others,. in the field of nutrition. The full text of the Council’s statement on “Confections and Carbonated Beperages in Schools” follows: “One of the functions of a school lunch program is to provide training in sound food habits. The sale of foods, confections, and beverages in lunchrooms, recreation rooms, and either school facili-
Exit The Cow?
In England there are scientists who are about to do away with the cow, as a producer of milk! Can it be ? Hard as it is to believe, they say they have discovered away to make milk by mashing pea pods, the outer leaves of cabbage and other relatively unwanted greenstuffs, and adding water. The water is then heated and this precipitates proteins. . To this mixture is added vitamins, minerals, vegetable fats and carbohydrates. The result is milk. But it couldn’t sound less appetizing. And yet, perhaps, the ingredients are equal to the grass that cows eat, incredible as it all sounds. There is still one minor problem. The scientists admit the milk has a vegetable taste. But they expect to conquer that problem and think their product will go on the market, either in powder or liquid
Justice Frankfurter Retires
Felix Frankfurter has retired from active service on the Supreme Court after twenty-three years as an Associate Justice. He had been ill for sometime and, by letter dated in late August addressed to the President, Mr. Frankfurter made the decision to resign from the Court. He first became ill briefly in 1958, as a result of a mild thrombosis, a blood clot in an artery near his heart. Apparently, he recovered and worked very hard until April fifth of last year. Justice Frankfurter is seventy-nine years old. His letter of resignation was typical of his character. In it, he stated “The Court should not ener its new term with uncertainity as to whether I might later be able to return to unrestricted duy. To retain my seat on the basis of a diminished work schedule would not comport with my own philosophy or the demands of the business of the Court. I am thus left with no choice but to regard my period of active service on the Court as having run its course.” In this quotation, it is readily seen
FARM notesl;S3&
By DONALD FRANTZ Agriculture Extension Agent Here awhile back one of our automobile dealers was kidding me because I hadn’t been able to play golf but four or five times each summer. He said that if he had my job he’d play golf every afternoon that it didn’t rain. Then about half seriously, he asked what I did do all day and I tried to tell him but didn’t do a very good job of it. I kept a record of most of the different kinds of requests for information that came into the office during the last few days of August and a few this month. We didn’t get them all down, just the ones that came directly to me and probably some were not recorded. It was actually real interesting to me to see about a ten-day list of requests for information.
EDITORIALS
Two people had trouble with insects called Millipedes. They were in the lawn and a few in the house and one man called from near Akron and said they were in his com field in hordes. They sure were. One young man was in need of data on mint diseases and we were accumulating that for him and a lady wanted to know how to keep weevils out of the soup beans she stores each winter. Two men wanted building plans, one for a grain storage and one for a cattle shed and another wanted plans for a 40-foot nail and glue truss. One lady> asked for help in finding a tenant for her farm and another call was in regard to the 4-H dairy trophies. We have had a lot of requests for data on adding ground limestone to silage. About four people wanted that and one man wanted to know where to get the suitable kind of limestone. Another asked us to set up a suitable ration for winter. Pocket gophers in lawns sent two people to the county agent’s office and Japanese beetles sent three more. We had about three
ties influences directly the food habits . of the students. Every effort should be extended to encourage students to adopt and enjoy good food habits. The availability of confections and carbonated beverages on school premises may tempt child- x ren to spend lunch money for them and lead to poor food habits. Their high energy value and continual availability are likely children’s appetites for regular meals. Expenditures for carbonated beverages and most confections yields a nu 7 tritional return greatly inferior to that from milk, fruit, and other foods included in the basic food groups. When given a choice between carbonated beverages and milk or between candy and fruit, a child may choose the less nutritious. In view of these considerations, the Council on Foods and Nutrion is particularly opposed to the sales and distribution of confections and carbonated beverages in school lunchrooms.”
form, shortly thereafter. The one remaining problem, perhaps, is to make some cow manure to go with the milk — the manure being so important to dairy farmers, and to other farmers. But the scientists are now making only milk — not milk and manure. There the cow, it seems, still has them beat. » Thus the new turn of scientific events may prove of vast benefit to humanity. And, still, there is something too scientific about artifically - produced milk. It’s like the question of taking a pill rather than eating a fine dinner. When we come to that, the world will have lost something. In fact, there is little enticing about the thought of having a few scienific pills for dinner on the cold surface of the moon, or of having artificial milk. But we are in for both, as the age of science moves in on us.
that the Justice was a man who had a philosophy and applied that philosophy to every situation, whether personally distasteful to himself or not. Justice Frankfurter has been called a man of contradictions. In his deep knowledge of the Court and its history he had formed the belief that the Court is a court and not a legislature. In his last major opinion, he expressed the dissent, or the opposing opinion, against the majority opinion, in a six to two decision, holding that the appointment of seats in a state legislature was subject to the scrutiny of federal judges. He also had the ability to withdraw his personal convictions from what he thought should be his legal decisions. In another case, he expressed the opinion: “As judge, we are neither Jew nor Gentile, neither Catholis nor agnostic ... As a member of this Court, I am not justified in writing my private notions of policy into the Constitution, no matter how deeply I may cherish them or mischievous I may deem their disregard.”

New grain varieties are always of interest and we had four or five calls about wheat varieties and one on residual effect on wheat of weed identification problems and two of insect identification. During this ten-day period we also made fertilization recommendations on two golf courses and on three or four lawns and a strawberry patch. One lady’s raspberries are dying. • ♦ • During this period of time we had two tomato pickers wanting help to find work and one wanted help getting home down south. The employment service and the welfare office helped on these. One woman had bats in the attic of her house and would like to get rid of them and a cattle feeder asked us to check his ration for this winter and a factory worker wanted some details on raising a few feeder pigs. We had two people asking for fertilizer and spray recommendations on their orchards. " *.Z. , S .jk L.'- . I

SHE WAITS ON HIM HAND AND FOOT!
Dear Amy: I have a large family: 9 children and my husband. I do what I can for all of them but my husband seems to think all I have to do is wait on him—hand and foot. I have to serve him all of his meals in the living room or he won’t eat and I have to serve his breakfast in bed. When he gets home from work at night, he lies on the couch and doesn’t get up until it’s time to go to bed. If he wants a glass of water or wants the TV turned to another channel, he calls for me to do it. My baby is 4 weeks old and requires, as well as the others, a lot of my time. I just can’t keep this up much longer. I don’t get to bed at night until 12 or 1 o’clock and I have to get up at seven. I am worried that I will have a nervous breakdown if this keeps up. much longer. I can’t even get out of the house to go visiting for an hour or so ... because he says I’m going to visit a boyfriend. What would you suggest I do? Worried Dear Worried: Your husband is spoiled, lazy, and inconsiderate. And your catering to him has made him worse. Put the shoe on the other foot and let him cater to you in the evening. His job (whatever it is) is child’s play compared to yours. If he rebels in the change, get him to a doctor before you land there. He is suffering from an over-indulged lazybone and an over active imagination! * • • Dear Amy: My girlfriends and I are single and we were discussing the ‘facts of life’. We are 17, 18, and 19. We covered just about everything that we know and all that we have read about including sex. Surely sex can’t be everything in marriage? What comes after sex? J., P., and E.

FRUIT SALAD — An Apple will be a candidate for commissioner in Orange County in the fall election. He is Joseph B. Apple. QUICK SHIPMENTS — Did you ever wonder how fruits and vegetables picked in Florida arrive in your markets in a matter of two days? The Florida State Marketing Bureau reports that 68.4% of Florida’s produce is shipped outstate by truck. POSTAL SERVICE - A southern Indiana publisher, Ed Schergens, of The Tell City News, in attempting to trace a picture he hadmailed to Danville, 81., but which had not been delivered, called the Danville, Ind , post office. He inquired if the picture might have been incorrectly addressed and had been sent there. It had not but he learned that the post office keeps on hand a Danville, Hl., telephone directory to which it refers when a letter or package is obviously misaddressed. The correct state is written in and the mail complimented the Danville, Ind., postmaster saying, “This is going beyond the call of duty.” TIMELY REMARK — The Mon•roe County Soil Conservation and Water District was holding a meeting in observance of National Soil Conservation Week in the Maple Grove Christian Church at Ellettsville. The district chairman, Prevo Whitaker, arose to speak. Just as be said, “Water is the stream of Hfe,” a thunderstorm broke and water came streaming into the basement dining room of the church. Diners removed their shoes and socks and waded out SIT TIGHT — When the telephone rang in the fire station at Hope, a Bartholomew County town, tiie caller informed the firemen to “Sit tight, a fire is coming to you.” (Shortly, Mrs. Johanna .Davis of Greensburg, drove up with the front seat of her car afire.

but only on the surface. Actually she is plagued by a series of chronic illnesses and cannot keep up the fast pace of these elderly ladies. They criticize, scold, whisper, and snicker about her. She’s clean, neat, and hasn’t a lazy bone in her body. These ladies go out in their robes about six in the morning and dig, prune, water, cultivate, and gossip in their yards? My daughter is quite miserable because she has to put up with these characters. Frankly, I feel there is so much to do in one’s own yard that there is no time to criticize others. How does pne answer these fanatics? D. J. B. Dear D. J. B.: They are not to be answered! Your daughter would be healthier and happier if she ignored them and tended to her own affairs. Then they will realize they are ‘barking up the wrong tree’ and look for another. This hen-party should be persuaded to put their free time into a more fruitful endeavor. • * * Dear Amy: I am sixteen and still in school. My husband is eighteen and we are secretly married.

The child does not belong to my husband. Who should I speak to first, my parents, the actual father or my husband? Student Mother Dear Student: Talk to yourself! Ask yourself why you got into this mess in the first place. Then, tell your parents. If your husband is willing to stick by you, I hope he is able to make a decent, respectable woman out of you.

HIT PARADE — A survey of Hoosier high school graduation programs shows that the march; “Pomp and Circumstance,” is still the favorite piece to be played as the seniors parade to receive their diplomas. SOCKED — A motorist who stopped in a Corydon drug store on his way home from a Louisville race track recounted his losses at the track. He said he not only lost $250 betting on the horses, but also lost his socks. He explained he did not wager his socks but when he took them off to cool his feet, someone in the crowd grabbed them and made off with 'them. REUNITED — When a Corydon physician, Dr. J. R. Moss, found an injured female beagle hound along a highway, he took the ani-’ mal home and nursed it back to health. With two other dogs already in his home, the doctor decided a third dog was too many, so he placed this ad in The Corydon Republican: "Wanted — Home for a stray beagle hound.” First to) answer the ad was Dr. Frank Douglass, a Corydon veterinarian. On seeing the dog, Dr. Douglass said, “Hello, Peggy.” The friendly greeting the dog gave him left no doubt that Dr. Douglass was the dog’s owner. Dr. Douglass said the dog, a full blooded beagle, had strayed from his home several weeks previously. BALDY — An 80-year-old Carroll County farmer, Walter Neff, told The Delphi Journal he has been observing wild life closely through the years but only recently sighted for the first time al “bald faced” rabbit He described the rabbit as having a white stripe the full length of its head, similar to bald faced horses, which are not uncommon. NOT FOR SALE — When file United States Shoe Corp., plant at Osgood, turned out its one millionth pair of shoes recently, the shoes were given preferential treatment They were set aside and placed in a special glass case to be kept on display at the factory, in the Ripley County town, J

The Northeastern Indiana Farm Management Tour was being planned during this period of time and it took a little work as did details on the next meeting of the County Poultry Associaion. The mid-western Poultry Marketing Study Committee will meet here next month and that took a letter or two. So did arrangements for the Outlook Meeting. The budget for our office also had to be presented to the County Council • « • We also had a visit from a company representative that is looking for a young man to hire and one township 4-H leader wanted help in organizing their Achievement Program. Two men wanted plans for building farrowing stalls and one had questions on building a manure lagoon and one wanted information on financing a house. • • • These are the kind of things that make up a normal day. Some are quite time consuming. Many times a simple request for help in identifying insect trouble can lead to many hours of work. We must find outw hat kind of a bug it is, how they feed, what chemicals will control them and then determine what is safe to use. Another simple question on nitrate poisoning in cattle and how to prevent it nas opened a number of possibilities. Maybe the answers we came up with will save hundreds of cattle. Maybe it will save none. * ♦ • All this is very interesting but it is really not our job. We are hired to conduct an educational program in agriculture and home economics and related fields. If it were not for all these things, I could probably break par every time out. Maybe I could win enough to drive one of the man’s Cadillacs. We will never know. (Editor’s Note: While all the above is probably true, playing golf only “four or five times each summer” hasn’t kept the writer from being one of the best area golfers we have run across. His driving is only outdone by his chipping and deadeye putting. Ask one who knows. JULY LIVESTOCK SLAUGHTER DOWN LAFAYETTE — Commercial production of red meat in Indiana during July totaled 146,983,000 pounds, five per cent smaller than June, but five per cent larger than the July, 1961, output, report state-federal agricultural statisticians at Purdue university. Liveweights of the 60,500 cattle slaughtered in July amounted to slightly more than 59 million pounds, four per cent less than June, but about the same as in July a year ago. Calves, totaling 8,900, weighed 1,967,000 pounds on the hoof. This was eight per cent above the June slaughter and nearly the same as in July, 1961. Liveweight of the 336,000 hogs slaughtered was a little more than 85 million pounds, down six per cent from June, but 10 per cent larger than the hog kill of July, 1961. I The 9,700 sheep and lambs
State Road Building Near Record High
Indiana roadbuilding continues its near-record pace. State highway awards topped $63.2-million for the first eight months of 1962. Last year’s January-August total: $39.7-million. Comparable figures for 1960 and 1959, respectively, were $57.7-million and $57-million. At this rate, 12-month contract obligations should reach about S9O-million, making 19 6 2 the state’s third biggest highway year. All-time high of $105.7-million was notched in 1958. Second largest total was 1960’s 97.4-million. Signed state highway contracts, as of Sept. 1, included $42,172,327 for 356 miles of new and improved roadway, $13,965,066 for 77 bridge projects, $6,653,246 for contract maintenance work and $430,308 for traffic improvements. Scheduled Sept. 27 letting has an estimated value of $5.5-million. With a whopping $185.2-million in federal-aid funds available to Indiana for the current fiscal year, ending next June 30, highway construction should accelerate in coming months. .. Most . troublesome roadblock right-of-way-acquisition is being overcome. A sharp decrease in land condemnation cases has enabled Attorney General Steers’ office to clear a sizeable backlog of pending negotiations. Highway commission’s right-of-way division operations have been tightened, with jobs, including that of division ■chief Charles I. Sheets, now under the state merit system. Court appraisals and final judgments in highway land-buying proceedings also are becoming more realistic. This reduces incentive for property owners to prolong settlement in the hope of getting an outsized jury verdict. Indiana and other states have again been urged by Federal Highway Administrator Rex M. Whitton to take “all possible measures” to put roadbuilding programs in high gear.

slaughtered weighed 9 6 0,000 pounds live, 19 per cent smaller than the June slaughter and 29 per cent below the July, 1961, total. Commercial slaughter includes that of packing plants and local butchers, but excludes farm slaughter. Totals indicate the marketings of livestock by farmers and the. availability of red wheat. Owners Carelessness Tops List Os Auto Thefts With automobile thefts at an alltime high, the Chicago Motor Club warns motorists that carelessness tops the list of factors contributing to car theft. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, more than 326,000 cars were stolen in 1961, almost one car theft every minute and a half throughout the year. A determined auto thief may be hard to stop, but the motor club offers this list of helpful suggestions to make it as difficult for him as you can: 1. Never leave your keys in the ignition, regardless of where you park. 2. Always close all windows and lock all doors when you park, even for a short stay. 3. Never leave your car registration or driver’s license in the glove compartment, Don’t leave or other valuables in plain sight, even in a locked car. Remove temptation by locking items out of sight in the trunk. 5. Don’t leave your car in one location for long periods of time. Avoid parking your car in one location for long periods of time. Avoid parking on dimly lit streets or lots. » DR.
