( I j ul(uh L ’ H a J K mLsP £ klf alb CHILDREN’S THEATER PRESENTATION — With approval of a 1250 grant by the Indiana State Arts commission to the Lakeland Community School Corporation for a children’s theater project, over 700 students viewed the Friday morning presentation at the Wawasee high school auditorium of the hit musical play “Pocahontas.” The program is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington, D.C.. and the Indiana Arts commission, federal and state agencies, respectively. This exciting play reached its climax in the famous historical movement in which Pocahontas saved the life of Captain John Smith. Though some historians doubt the details of John Smith’s Pocahontas story and how she saved him from certain death, the incidents leading up to this heroic act make for a plot that is not only highly dramatic and filled with humos, but also brings to life the clash of two cultures.

Indiana is in ( goiter belt’

By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent lodine is one of the few nutrients that produces deficiency symptoms in humans as a result of deficiency in the soil. Indiana is included in the “goiter belt” due to our lack of iodine in the soil. Although the total amount of iodine in the body is very small, it is found in every living cell. Most of the iodine in our bodies is found in the thyroid gland. When iodine is lacking in the diet, the thyroid gland overacts to compensate for the deficiency and enlarges. This is known as simple goiter. People meet their needs for iodine through food and water sources. Near the sea coasts the soil and water are richer in iodine. The best natural food sources are seafood and produce grown in iodine rich soil. We hoosiers need to be conscious of our daily need for iodine since our soil is low in iodine content. In order to decrease the incidence simple goiter, it was decided to fortify foods with iodine The problem was to find a food that is used universally. Table salt was chosen as the most practical medium. By using iodized table salt you will meet your iodine requirement. There is a movement against the chemicals and additives in foods presently underway. Because of this opposition table salt is sold in both forms — iodized and uniodized. Only about half of the salt sold in the United States is iodized. The use of iodized salt is the best way of assuring an adequate supply of iodine. When shopping be sure and read the label to see

that you are giving your family their needed supply of iodine. If everyone would use iodized salt perhaps simple goiter will be a thing of the past. Jane Award The extension homemakers second annual Jane Award will be given at their achievement night May 2.
